COxey and His Lieutenants Get Ont
of Going to Jail-The speech
He Did Not Make-Dc-
nOunced by Keily.

Washington, May 2.-Coxey took some
pains to give out for publication copy
of the speech he would have delivered
but for the interference of the police
He takes the ground that the capitol is
the property of the people and fitting
place to mourn over their dead liberties
He said upon the capitol steps carpets
had been spread for royalty and the lob
byists of trusts and corporations had
passed unchallenged on their way to com
mittee rooms. The people are reminded
that congress in its promise of returning
prosperity when the Sherman act was re-
pealed gave the people the right to petit
tion for legislation that would give en-
ployment to every man willing to work
and thus bring universal prosperity.
He protested against the unnecessary
acts of tyranny denying the right of petit
ton and assembly to the masses.
coxEy WILL BE TRIED.
Coxey is under arrest as are also two other
leaders of the movement which culmi-
mated in the trouble at the capitol grounds
yesterday. Each one will have to answer
to the courts for the part they took in
the disturbance. They will be arraigned
next Friday before Judge Miller, of the
police court. The arrest of Coxey took
place to-day in the police court upon in
formation filed against him last night.
The men have considerable array of
lawyers to defend them, their counsel in
cluding Representatives Pence, of Colo
RADIO; Baker, of Kansas; KEN, of Nebras-
Iyo To sc
sci asked that $500 in cash be allowed to
be deposited in lieu of real estate as bail
for Coxey's appearance, but the Judge
refused to accept it and Coxey and Jones
were taken to the police station.
RELEASED ON BONDS.
After several cases had been disposed
of by the court the information charging
Jacob S. Coxey with unlawfully display
ing banners was read and he replied, mot
guilty" The accused elected to be tried
by jury and the hearing of the case was
set for Friday morning. When the ques-
tion of bail came up Judge Miller fixed
the amount of bonds in each case at $500.
Marillo Kicker, a female attorney, of this
city, came forward to offer bail for Coxey,
but Assistant District Attorney Maloney
reminded her of the provision of law
which forbids attorneys signing bail
bonds, subsequently Frank Hume,
Wholesale grocer, signed the bonds of
Coxey and Jones.
KELLY TALKS SENSE.
Des Moines.--Kelly's Industrial army
made no visible progress toward the
national capital to-day, indulging instead
in the national game of base ball. Kelly's
men made their first appearance upon the
diamond crossing bats with the Des
Moines Stars; 25 cents admission was
charged, and good sized crowd wit
messed the game. Kelly stripped his coat
and played first base and showed that he
was very fair player. The gate receipts
were turned over to the Industrials.
Kelly is indignant over Coxey's clash
with the Washington authorities and
places all the blame on the Commonweal-
ers. He said that Carl Browne was an
ess, and declared that Coxey showed no
generalship and asserted that his Indus
trial army would have no such trouble
when it arrived in Washington. The
offer of the Great Western railroad to
carry the army to Mount Van Vert at 50
per head was withdrawn to-day and this
action has further incensed the labor
organizations. They claim that this is
another evidence that the railroads have
combined against Kelly and are forcing
the minor lines to follow the example.
A secret conference of labor leaders was
held at the Trades Assembly hall where
it was confidently stated that Kelly would
secure transportation.
COULD NOT GROSS THE RIVER.
st. Louis.-Morrison' army of Coxey-
ties, $50 strong, started for Washington
to-day. When the army reached the
bridge across the Mississippi river the
officials refused to let them cross without
paying fare and the army went into camp
while couriers skirmished for the sum
necessary to pay the fare across the
river.
NO ARMY ORDERS.
Chicago-Gen. Miles says that SO far as
he knows no orders have been issued by
the war department to the army regard
ing the Commonwealers who are march
ing to Washington from different points
of the compass.
Randalls army marched from Grand
Crossing to Hammond, Indiana,
where more recruits than deserters
were reported. The ranks contained 500
men when the march began.
