day Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie
company appeared before Alderman
McMasters and filed tnirty-six informa-
tons against as many of the ex-em-
ployes of the company, and upon
which warrants we're Immediately rs
sued. 1t was significant, however,
that these informations made change
in the nature of the offense, the men
being charged with aggravated riot. in
stead of murder. II is taken as indi-
eating that the company now doubts its
ability to sustain the charge of murder
and has concluded to content itself
with procuring . charge upon which
there may be chance Of obtaining
some convictions. 1t was significant
also that among tho names of those
included in tho informations were
those of nearly every ex-employe who
has testified before the coroner g jury
that the fret shots fired ON the morn
ing of July came from the Pinker-
tens. The fact that the company
should have selected these men AZ
victims, especially IN view Of the fact
that ~ witnesses before the coroner's Q
jury they would most likely be ex-
pected to testify In court, has created .
great deal Of comment and tnat not
very favorable TO the company. The
policy of suppression of names IN the
matter of lnformatious Was again
carried out today, and the majority of
the men against whom warrants were
issued will have no knowledge of the
fact until they are placed under arrest.
More to Bs. Made Daily.
1t is understood new informations
will now be made from day to day for
some time to come, but the advisory
committee II prepared with ample bail,
and not one of the men will be allowed
to stay in Jail an hour longer than the
machinery Of the law will allow. The
private information 10 also to the effect
that the informations sworn out today
includes the name OF every member of
the advisory committee as we'll as some
of those VINO have already been ar
rested on the charge Of murder and
released on bail. James Close, who
was arrested yesterday, will have
to answer the new charge as
will also Sylvester Crltchlow, who
voluntarily surrendered today and
whose warrant was iseued at the
same time those of 0Donneil,
McLuckie, and others on the charge OF
murder. Tomorrow Judge Magee will
hear the motion for bail for both Close
and Critchlow. Inspector McElvy, who
Is acting superintendent of the police,
has been especially vigilsnt IN watch
ing the haunts of the anarchists. The
number, too. that the inspector has
located, nearly 900 in the county, is
quite revelation to the citizens of
Plttsburg. IL has required . supply of
men, but the work has been prosecuted
day and night. Inspector McElvy sAizi
