PULLMAN MUST TESTIFY.
Judge Grosstup Has Firmly Made
Up His Mind.
DebS Again Takes the Stand to Tell
What He Knows About the
Great Strike.

CHICAGO, Feb. Judge Grosscup APP
peared determined to-day to find out
whether George M. Pullman evaded the
service of the subpoena issued for him by
the defense in the Debs conspiracy case.
William R. Johnson, the colored door
keeper of Pullman's private Office, was
called and said he saw Pullman enter the
office Monday morning. at 1920, an hour
after Deputy United States Marshal D. B.
Jones called. Jones wrote his name and
official title ON card which Johnson said
he gave to c. S. Sweet, Pullman's private
secretary. The secretary entered the inner
office and returning said Pullman was not
in. Johnson said he did not see Pullman
come out of the Office, nor did he know if
Pullman was there at the time the card
was sent in.
Judge Grosscup asked for Sweet and was
informed by the counsel for the defense
that Sweet had disappeared also. 'Never
mind, then" said the Judge. "We will
postpone the inquiry until Sweet is found
and brought before the court"
AT the opening of the afternoon session
Mr.. Walker led Mr.. Debs over the proceed
ings of the convention of the American
halfway Union ana from that to his
speeches during the strike. The witness
said he had made many speeches during
that time. He had spoken at Ogden's
Grove. He had not gone before the men
engaged in the acts of turbulence and adj
vised them to abstain from such acts. He
admitted that the primary object of the
strike was to aid the Pullman strikers, and
that it afterwards became general con-
hict between the railroads and their en-
ployes. The railroads had committed overt
acts in the reduction of wages. He adj
mitted that there would not have been any
strike if it had not been for the directors of
the union. The witness was on the stand
throughout the afternoon and was dis
missed by both the prosecution and de-
Tense when court adjourned.

TO BUILD SOLID MORTARS.
Latest Scheme Of the Coast Defense
Experts.
Under 1t San Francisco Workers in
Iron Will Have a Good Chance
to Compete.

WASHINGTON, Feb. There is very
good prospect that the Fulton Iron Works
and the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco will at last be given the long-sought
opportunity to bid on steel mortars for
coast defense. An important amendment
proposed to the fertilization bill, now in
conference, will enable the San Francisco
or any other iron and steel contractors to
compete on their own plans under certain
conditions for fifty mortars to cost $500
each. Any process they may see fit to en-
ploy may be adopted by the contractors in
making guns equal in pressure per square
inch and range to those produced at pres
ent. Inc amendment in full is as follows:
Sec. =. whenever any party shall present for
test completed breech-loading mortar of
Twelve inches caliber of not more than 40 900
pounds weight, built of mortar steel with a
proper supply OF ammunition therefor not ex-
ceedlng zoo rounds, such mortar shall be
tested by the chief of ordnance; and should it
be shown to the satisfaction of said chief of
ordnance by such test to be at least equal in
accuracy, range, power and endurance, mate
RAJ ana general efficiency to twelve-inch cast
lron' steei-hooped breech-loading service NOR
Tar, mortar and ammunition shall be paid for,
tract be made for further supply of fifty, at
such reasonable cost as the chief of ordnance
shall determine, not to exceed $1,000 each, the
entire number to be delivered in one year from
Gate OF contract Said mortar, and all which
may be contracted for under this provision,
shall be subject to inspection at each stage of
manufacture.
Ihese mortars, most of which are now
assembled at the Watervliet IN. W fac
tory, cost about rs cents per pound. 1t is
alleged by those opposed to what they
term the old-fogy methods OF the Ordnance
Board, that "built up' or assembled
guns are rendered well nigh worthless
after repeated firing. Some experts de-
clared to the CALL correspondent to-day
that they had seen some of these "band
and hoop" guns, which, after firing, were
so loose jointed that silver half dollars
could be inserted between their ribs. They
assert furthermore that by the new process
OF casting the whole gun at once, in a
vacuum, there are absolutely no blowholes
and the gun is solid, compact and durable,
and costs only about 20 cents per pound,
or one-fourth the price now paid. Senator

BOODLING AT VANCOUVER.
Arrest of a Contractor on a Charge
Of Bribery.
He Is Accused Of Influencing an Alder.
man in Very Substantial
Manner.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 7.-Citizens were
astonished to-day by the arrest of ]. F. w
MacFarlane, manager of the British Co
lumbia Iron Works of this city, on the
charge of attempting to bribe Alderman
McCraney.
Tenders were recently called for by the
city for the construction of an electric
light plant, and the contract was awarded
the British Columbia Iron Works.
Their tender was not the lowest, and al
the time the Council announced that they
had awarded it to them on account of its
being a home industry.
Now it is charged that boodling took
place, similar to recent exposure in
Toronto.
The information on which MacFarlane
was arrested was sworn out by w. L.
Leonard, agent for the Royal Electric Com
pany, Montreal. He alleges that MacFar,
lane attempted to bFibe McCraney in the
sum of $1,000 to secure the contract.
MacFarlane was released on $1,000 bail
Both MacFarlane and McCraney deny the
charge emphatically.
