BROTHERHOOD Committeeman
Claim that the Burlington Dynamiters
Are Pinkerton's Men.
CHICAGO, July |!

CHICAGO, July 10.
A member of the grievance committee now
in session at Chicago said today that very lit
tie was done yesterday except to receive ties
timony which has been gathered relative to
the dynamite conspiracy. 1.-The testimony
is not all in,' said w. B. Husky, chairman
of the Chicago and Alton committee today,
"but we have enough to show that Bowles,
Broderick, Wilson and Smith are all Pinker-
ton men. Pinkerton has had men in our or
ganization for years and they are getting in
their work. We have also learned that not
an ounce of dynamite has been exploded on
Burlington tracks. One result of the meet
ing will be full and free investigation of
the alleged dynamite conspiracy If any of
our members are guilty they will be turned
over to the authorities. We shall protect
the integrity of our organization from enc
mics without and from foes within"

COSTLY CRIMINALS
What Stain and Cromwell Cost Penob
scot.

BANGOR, July 49,
The Penobscot County Commissioners
have spent their appropriation, have bor-
rowed and spent the anouat allowed by--ixwS
or the limit as it is called, and the other
day being without funds, called upon Judge
Peters and made known to him the situation.
lie told them to go ahead and raise what
money they needed to carry them along un-
til August, when they would be in receipt of
some $50, 900 taxes due. This condition of
things is not due to any poor management on
the part of the commissioners, who have
greatly reduced county expenses since COM
ing into office, but is due to the wholly unex-
pected and unparalleled expense in the Grim
inal case wherein Stain and Cromwell are
the central figures, and which has and will
cost the county of Penobscot some $4,000,
and if new trial is granted will run up to
1926 600.

Mills Unfit for Leadership.

Washington despatch to the Boston Journal.
Mr.. Mills, chairman of ::the committee on
ways and means, is unfit for leadership, as he
has shown throughout the entire management
of this bill. One of the most conspicuous
instances of his wonderful incapacity in this
direction was furnished at the close of We'd
nesday's debate.
A republican member, LaFollette of Wis
consin, wished for five minutes more to COM
plete a statement which was broken off in
the middle by the falling of the chsirman's
gavel. Mills, in heated bluster, refused
claiming that he had granted all the courtesy
to the republican side that he intended, and
stating that he proposed to finish the bill.
He could have had the bill finished in IF
teen misutes more, but he resorted to sys-
tenn of Parliamentary bulldozing which
forced the republicans out of respect to their
own dignity to resort to the only remedy they
had to maintain their Srights-to decline to
vote and instead of finishing the bill in fif-
teen minutes, he wasted two hours, and final
ly adjourned without action.
