John Burns Condemns the Brotherhood
Leader for Refusing to Support Debs.
BY the United Press.
Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 24.-1n an in
terview here today John Burns, the
English labor leader and member of
parliament, said:
1.-The decision of Judge Woods in the
case of Debs Is an outrage upon the
workingmen of America. 1t was
prompted by his leaning toward cor
porations and he was the tool of mon
opolists and capitalists. While Debs'
as a general proposition, is an unsafe
leader, he was exactly right in this
case and deserves the support of every
fair minded man."
1t leaked out today that Chief Arthur,
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, had n rather warm confer
ence with Burns yesterday, In which
the latter defended Debs and upbraided
Arthur for his action In refusing to
lend his support, and that of the
brotherhood during the recent strikes.
Chief Arthur attempted to show up the
weaknesses and mistakes of the leader,
hut Burns retorted to the effect that 1t
was the principle involved and not
Debs that should have been considered.
He declared that the Pullman strike
was justified If ever labor struggle

MADAME BLAvATsKY.
She and the Adopts Arc Defended
by Mrs Thirds.


Mrs. NJ. M. Thirds addressed a
larger audience on Friday evening
in the Theosophical hall, Robinson
block, than on previous occasions.
Her subject as announced was
"Madame H. p. Blavatsky aud the
Adopts" Mrs. Thirds devoted the
main portion OF the time to an
elaborate refutation Of the charge
made by Monsieur and Madame
Coulon, at one time associated wit
H.. p. 3. and special agent OF the
London Society for Psychical Re-
search, that Madame Biavatsky was
a self-cnnfessed and exposed fraud
and that the manifest ations given
by her of occult power were the re-
suit OF trickery. This refuta was
based on letters written by members
Of the theosophical society in India
at the time, and who were acquaint-
ed with the whole case. These let
tiers charged Mons. aud Madau
Coulon with having PR pared the
whole system Of apparent trickery
and apparatus Tor its carrying on,
during Madame Blavatsky's absence
from home for some time, for the
express purpose OF being revenged
on her. Mrs. Thirds read long ex-
tracts from these letters to prove
the assertions. She wound up 10y
saying she had not had any personal
acquaintance with n. p. B or the
adopts themselves, but it was i'm
possible that a system Of such purity
as theosophy was could have been
founded by such juggling impostors
as the society for psychical research
made Madame Blavatsky and her
associates out to be.
