@" MEN HELD IN BIG BAIL
THE PROSECUTION BsTAINs FROM
AN ARGUMENT.

The Two Lawyers for the Defense
Make Speeches-The Bonds Fixed
at $4,000 in Each Case-The Chair
men of the Grievance Committees
Ask a Suspension of Judgment
CHICAGO, July 19-At the opening Of the
hearing of the Burlington dynamiters to-
day Lawyer Donohue, for the Brother
hood, asked District Attorney Ewing if the
prosecute IN rested its case
Attorney Ewing nodded his head affirm
atively
Then we rest our case" said Mr. Dono
hue, and are prepared to discuss tho
proofs
Attorney Ewing declined to make any
argument, saying: I'VE simply ask that
the defendants be held on the evidence"
HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
After an earnest address by each Of the
two lawyers for the defense, Commissioner
| Hayne said: "The prosecution has pre-
sented "A good probable case against the
| prisoners, and should not be performing
my duty unless | referred the charges
| against all the prisoners to the grand jury.
/ 1t Is for the grand jury to pass upon the
mems guilt or innocence"
The court ordered that the amount of
COOLING NOT EXEMPTED.
| Efforts to exempt Engineer Cooling from
| being held over were Intellectual, as were
also attempts to have his bail reduced The
argument of the defense was that there had
| been practically no evidence against
! Cooling. Broderick Bauereisen and G0ding
were not allowed their liberty on bail. All
| three were realrested before moving a step
| State warrants were used, the charge being
| -, L. H..
| contrary TO law.
THE GRIEVANCE CHAIRMEN.
The following resolution was adopted by
the chairmen of the grievance committees
of the various railway systems who are in
| session here to-day:
While we do not withdraw a word of
our denunciation of the use of dynamite,
we do not want the public to suppose that
we are condemning the men under accus
ton. The exposures of the past few
days show that many of the
men under arrest were detectives
acting under the direction of The Infamous
Pinkerton gang. 1t is easy TO see how such
villains could manufacture evidence against
innocent men, and put up Jobs that
| would make unsuspecting men say
and do things which could after
wards be tortured into the appearance
Of criminality. The whole business looks
/
and disgrace the workingmen who are on
strike. We assure the public that we have
| no sympathy whatever with lawessness,
but we appeal to all fair-minded citizens to
withhold judgment against the men under
| accusation until they have been fairly tried
in Il court which knows the law and rules
of evidence and which will administer them
impartially"
| ANOTHER BOYCOTT CONTEMPLATED.
I'll m
! tomorrow: ut will be news perhaps to
the Burlington officials and its patrons, as
well as the public, to know that a move
which is not only contemplated, but prac-
| tCally determined upon in case the present
efforts at a settlement of the strike fail, is
renewal of the boycott on tho road The
| time for the transportation of the great corn
crop of the west is near at hand
and an effective boycott on the road at the
time corn seeks transportation would I'M
doubtedly be very great disaster to the
company. Should the strike not be settled
soon ON terms acceptable to the strikers
most vigorous attempt to cripple the road
in the transportation of the crops may be
| expected
BOUND TO CRIPPLE 1T.
"That is what will he done" said one of
the most influential members of the Brother
hood to-day. 1--WE have been willing to
arbtrate or compromise from the start and
have endeavored to be reasonable in our
position. We do not want to incommOde
the public in any way, but we must take
extreme measures in cases in which extreme
measures will do. The Burlington, by its
owns report, is losing millions, and
its report is of course made
as favorable as possible, much more so, we
think, than the facts warrant The
| Brotherhood is able to keep the road losing
money, and proposes to do it unless tine
strike is satisfactorily settled. Any one
can easily imagine that II boycott in the
corn moving time will not help the road
very astonishingy in a financial way"
A dispatch to the same paper
from Aurora says that Bauereisen was
arrested on four warrants, which embodv
in substance the charges heretofore made
of conspiracy to injure or place in jeopardy
life ard property by means of dynamite.
He was released on s., 900 bond on two
charges and s., 500 bonds on the others.
| The hearing will take place july 25
