Judge GrOsscup Has AfterthOught and
DeIIvered a New Charge.

Judge GrOsscup Has an AfterthOught and
Delivered "a New Charge.
CHICAGO, July 13-Judge Grosscup
called the federal grand jury before him
today and delivered to that body further
instructions regarding the scope Of the
investigation of the strike.
The judge told the grand jurors that it
IS their duty to investigate the railroads
If evidence is presented to them that the
roads have violated the law. The grand
jury was called into court. After near
ing a statement from the foreman that
the jurors desired to adjourn until
Tuesday in order 10 return to their homes
for sunday, and giving his consent, the
court SAID:
Il have something more I desire to
say 1t Is my duty 10 give you further
Instruction. No man is above the law.
The Inc of crimlnality is not drawn
between classes, but between those who
Violate the law and those who do not.
The tact that man occupies a high
position dues not exempt him from IN
dicimenI or trIal. Inc fact that u man
occupies lower position does not pre-
Guide HIM from making known his
grievances.
-IOur door ought to be open to all who
may come WIN evidence Lnat is tangible
and not based upon hearsay. 1t Is stated
Al the public prints tndt some Of our feI-
low cltlzens bel4eVe that the interference
with the mails ana Interstate commerce
Was the result of d conspiracy among
men higher IN the RAILROADS than en-
plOyes.
If two or more men wrongfully
agreed, either for Tie purpose Of Great
ing public sympathy, or Tor any other
purpose, TO have the mails Interstate
commerce stopped, they are gully of
conspiracy Ii TWO or more men agreed
wrongfuily among themselves for the
purpose OF creating public sympathy, To
discharge men, intending that their dis
Charge would stop the passing of the
mails or interstate commerce, they are
guilty of cons piracy.
IF two or more men wrOngfully agreed
not to employ men to take the places of
men who Fad quit work, and allowed the
trains TO stand still in order to create
public sympathy, they would be guilty
of cons piracy, unless their circumstances
were such that the employment of
new men would lead to dam
ger to those men or to the
public interests. Every man is entitled
to bring his complaint if he brings with
il tangible evidence. 1t is the duty, as
well as the pleasure of the district at
torney to submit such evidence to you if
it is presented and it is your duty to hear
it,
It's probable that the grand jury will
send for tile kilograms sent and received
by the managers during the strike, as
was done with the kilograms of Debs
and other leaders of the strike. The
grand jury will adjourn this evening
until Tuesday morning. aud the investi-
cation of the railways may not begin
until next week

PHELAN eoEs no JAIL.
He is Sentenced 10 SIX Months By Judge
TAft.

CINCINNATI, July 13.-The government
building was crowded with strikers an
ticipztinq Phelan's sentence today.
Forty deputies were sworn in to prevent
disturbance.
Judge Taft of the United States court,
found Phelan guilty of contempt of
court and sentenced him to six months
Imprisonment in the Warren county jail
at Lebanon. Ohio.
Judge Taft's decision was very long,
requiring a full hour to render The
Judge reviewed it at great length. and
the testimony. which he declared showed
Enthusiastically that Phelan came here as
the agent and o-worker with Debs to
institute and direct a boycott, in order to
compel the Pullman Car company to
treat with its employees, who, it appears,
are not eligible to membership in the
A. r. L.
Phelan's denial of personal agency had
no weight with the court. owing to the
evasive and hippant nature of his testi-
mony and in the face of that. kilograms
passing between him and Debs as we'll
as his public utterances. He knew the
Cincinnati Southern road was in the
hands of a receiver and yet his first efforts
were directed against it. The court
found that he was the active agent here
in an unlawful conspiracy with Debs and
others to paralyze the business OF the In
tied States, or IN other words to starve
the nation in order to force an employer
into terms.
Applying the law of the facts, the
court held that to undertake to force q
break of contracts was an unlawful con-
spiracy. Moreover, the whole plan WAS
a boycott. which has been declared by all
the states, except Minnesota, to be IN
lawful The court plainly recognized
the right of laborers to unite, and even TO
combine their unions, and appoint lead
ers for the purpose Of obtaining better
price for their labor. They were wOr
ranted in striking, that is, leaving their

The Santa Fe Shops observation-disclosures
that the Strike on.
An Associated Press bulletin reached
Topeka this morning that President
Debs had declared the strike off. 1t
seems that Debs made a statement 70
Chicago reporter that the strike had
been declared of, - and adding moment
later, "under certain Conditions but in
the haste and confusion the reporter did
not catch his last words.
General Manger J. J. Frey of the Santa
Fe, when informed by q STATE JOURNAL
reporter that there was :. rumOr that
President Debs had declared the A r. L.
strike of, said: The strike mas been off
several days as far as the Santa Fe is
concerned We are doing business as
usual. and doing more business now
than before the strike was ordered. We
have all the men we need to
operate the road except in few
places we are not in hurry about filling
and Mr.. Debs announcement will not
affect US in the least None of the
strikers will be taken back and the com
pany will stick to the position taken
at the beginning of the strike.
THE Topeka shops Will probably be
opened next week. have not yet decided
upon the day but shall probably decide
today or tomorrow"
As Mr.. Fry ordered the Topeka shops
closed before the men struck, they are not
in the eyes of the com pany considered
strikers and viii accordingly be al
lowed to fill their old places when the
shops are reopened It is. how
ever. expected that few of the most
prominent A. R. L. leaders who were
advising a strike when the shops were
ordered closed. viii be discharged when
they ask TO 20 back to work.
Treasurer Edward Wilder could not
give any definite Information today in
regard to pay day, except that it is
not likely to be tomorrow
When President Sloat Of the A. r. u.
was told the news of the repsrted end
ing of the strike today he said: Il don't
believe it If it is true 4 would have
heard Of it It is one Of the rules of the
union that the sublOdges shall be kept
thoroughly posted received a
telegram from Mr. Debs yeSter-
dap afternoon saying that all was
well and telling us to stand firm. l an
swered that we were firm here and
asked him not to fad TO wire me the
latest when anything should occur. l
believe it is simply scheme instigated
by the general managers to stamped the
men, The same scheme has been tried
in previous strikes.
"Still, if 10 is true | ana not surprised.
/ have been rather suspecting it today
from the way the situation looked this
morning Id the Pullman company can
be made to arbitrate that is all we want
W hen We reach that the strike IS off.
tYou can put il down, though, that we
will never 60 to work again until the
strike is really of. If it is the boys are
again open for engagements"

SECURE He.p For AN o d Nan


Secure Help For an o d Nam
OTTAwA July Ill Z. Slime met with
an accident that by miracle escaped a
fatal result In company with little
boy. an inmate of the Orphans Home,
Mr.. Slime was driving a team at the Silk
vile farm, and IN a moment when his
attention was diverted the horses took
sudden fright at a reaper and got beyond
control before he could secure the reins.
The animals dashed the wagon against
a stone fence, hurting both inmates
against the wall. The little boy had his
arm broken and was bruised badly Mr..
Slime however. was senseless, and prop
erly approaching that help was imme-
diately necessary the little fellow clasped
the dangling portion Of his arm to his
side and walked mile to a neighbOring
farm house where he gave the alarm.
Mr.. Slime is very seriously hurt One
hip is broken. in such d manner that IL is
feared that it will be permanently Grip
pied, and the body is a mass Of cuts and
bruises.
