TO UNCOVER FACTS
Federal Dynamiting Probe
to Be Thorough.
SAYS GOMPERS IS UNSAFE.
District Attorney Miller, In Charge of
Indianapolis Investigation, Says Ef
fort Will Be Made to Bring to
Justice All Involved In the
"Damnable Conspiraoy."
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 5. District
Attorney Miller, who has charge ol
presenting the dynamiting evldonco to
the federal grand jury, declares that
the Investigation will be thorough.
"The Investigation now being made
by the government," said ho, "will be.
complete, and an earnest effort will be
made to bring to Justice all the men
who are Involved In the most damna
ble conspiracy ever entered Into In this
country. The people are entitled to
know nil the facts.
"Such unsafe leaders as Gompers
must be retired. Let men like Duffy,
who stand honest ground, come to the
front Let men like Keegan, who have
no respect for the law, remain silent as
to the rights of labor, and let laboring
men who stand for law and order pro
sent to the public labor's rights. The
destruction of life and property must
cease."
John J. Keegan, member of the leg
islature and stuto organizer for the
Machinists' union, declared:
"I am just as proud of tho friendship
of John J. McNamara today as I was
two weeks ago."
Keegan says that John J. McNamara
pleaded guilty to a crime he did not
commit, Insisting that by press dis
patches he was Informed that McNa
mara had pleaded guilty to tho charge
of planting dynamite under the Llewel
lyn Iron works when, as a matter of
fact, tho dynamite was put there by
another man. Keegan said ho knew
McNamara was In Cincinnati on tho
day the Iron works was blown up.
Frank M. Ityau. president of the In
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers, Is "keeping
under cover" to avoid newspaper men,
according to Leo M. Bappaport, coun
sel for the union. Herbert S. Hockln.
acting secretary-treasurer of the union.
Bays he does not know definitely the
present whereabouts of tho head of the
union. Rnppaport, however, is in
touch with Ryan, according to Rappa
port's statement
"There Is no mystery about the
whereabouts of Mr. Ryan." Mr. Rap
paport said. "I know where ho is. and
I will tell yon frankly that he Is now
engaged in dodging newspaper report
ers. Mr. Ryan will appear at the head
quarters at the proper time. He beard
of the confession of the McNamaras
after he left Atlanta, and it took him
off his feet.
"He lias not made any statement in
regard to it and he doesn't Intend to
make any statement until he has time
to collect his wits and get on his feet.'
I PASSES LIE TO BURNS.
Gompers Denies That He Knew Mc
Namaras Were Guilty.
New York, Dec. 5. "In view of the
guilt of the McNamaras and the
charges of Detective William J. Bums
that you knew of their guilt weeks be
fore they pleaded guilty in court, do
you intend to remain president of the
American Federation of Labor?" was
asked of Samuel Gompers at the Vic
toria hotel.
"I don't fee! called upon to answer
that" he said, raising his voice and
emphasizing each word. "But I will
say this. It was only recently thnt 1
was unanimously re-elected president'
of tho American Federation of Labor
These aro my credentials and that Is
my answer."
Mr. Gompers, who had been confer
ring with his lawyers over the con
tempt proceedings growing out of the
Uucks stove and range case, denounc
ed Detective Burns.
"There is no truth in what ho says,"
declared Gompers. "I understand thai
he says that Lawyer Clarence Darrow
told me at a conference of labor men
at Indianapolis Juno 5 the McNamaras
wore guilty. That Is not so. Every
thing that Burns has said about me Is
false. If Darrow was In Indianapolis
at that time I didn't know it. There
wore about forty labor meu there, and
thoy didn't know it"
"How about the telegram that Dnr
row sent to you at tho convention nt
Atlanta more than two woeks bofore
the McNamaras announced their guilt
in courtr
"I got that tolegrnm," said Gompers
"Darrow naked that one of certain
men whom he named be sent to Los
Angolcs to confor with him. There
was nothing In tho telegram to show
what Darrow wanted to confer about
I can't recall the names of the men
montlonod in the telegram now. Yes
(thl in reply to a suggestion), Edward
Nockels, secretary of tho Chicago
Federation of Labor, was ouo of tho
men named in tho telegram. I turned
to one or two of the men named and
asked thorn If thoy could go. That's
oil I know about It."
"now about tho statement that J. J
McNamara got a monthly fund of
F000 from tho Ironworkers union for,
which be did not havo to make an ac
tounting?"
Mr. Gompers would not irako a defl
Alto annwer to this specific question.

to some extent have been given to the
UlMtrict attorney. These men are to lip

us much to him.

STILL AT ODDS IN CHINA.
Little Progress Being Made Toward
Peace by Contending Parties,
l'eklng, Dec. 5. The efforts to nettle
the difference between tho revolution
Ists nnd the government seem to hnv-
innile no visible progress, One thing
willed) Is hampering the new premier
Is the financial situation, which Is still
acute. The treasury is practically
bankrupt nnd unless the government
can obtain a loan soon thoy will have
to negotiate with the rebels as with
an Independent power.

LONG SESSION.
Congress May Not Adjourn
Until Next Fall.
A BIG LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM,
Leaders of Both Parties Have Eyes Fo
cused on Possible Political Advan
tages to Be Gained Than on
President's Tariff and Anti
trust Plans.
Washington, Dec. 5. The most strik
ing feature In connection with the
opening of tho second session of the
Sixty-second congress Is tho extreme
views taken by the lenders of both
parties in regard to the probable
length of the legislative period.
Leader Underwood declared that the
present mooting of congress will be
one of the longest on record, notwith
standing the fact that the conventions
of both parties will be held early in
the summer nnd everybody will be
desirous of getting away to mend po
litical fences.
"It Is undoubtedly to be the busiest
session in fifty years," said Mr. Un
derwood. "We will probably be here
far into next fall."
Representative Mann, leader of the
minority in the house, expressed a
similar opinion nnd other Republicans
and Democrats In both the house anil
senate had equally pessimistic views.
These predictions nre of course bas
ed on the ambitious program of legis
lation that the president Is said to
have In mind, notably tariff revision
nnd legislation supplementing the
Sherman anti-trust law.
The opening of the session served
only to emphasize the fact that the
coigress leaders of both parties have
already focused their attention upon
the political phases of tho present
session rather than on the probable
legislative program.
From the present outlook neither
house of congress will settle down to
serious legislative work until the na
tional committees have held their
meetings In this city and the tjmes and
places for the two big conventions
havo been set.
Two senators, Obadlah Gnrdner of
Maine, who takes the seat so long
occupied by Senator Frye, and Hoke
Smith of Georgia, attracted consider
able nttcntlon. It was Hoke Smith's
first appearance In Washington official
life- since he was Cleveland's secre
tary of the Interior fifteen years ago.
He was cordially greeted by old
friends Both of the new senators
were- sworn in. On motion of Senator
Galllnger, Senator Curtis of Kansas
was designated to preside over the
senate nntll Tuesday of flcxt week,
the vice; presidents absence being ne
cessitated by the death of bis mother-in-law
(n Utlca.
The hour of meeting for the senate
was temporarily set at 2 o'clock in tho
afternoon instead of noon.
