LABOR UNIONS HOSTILITY.
Has Resulted in Loss of Members to
Military Companies.


An inquiry among the officers of the
military companies yesterday brought
out the fact that. though not all the
companies have been affected in their
membership by the agitation of the
labor union leaders to keep the mem
bers from those organizations from
becoming members of the state militia,
yet enough of them have been affected
to show that the agitation is meeting
with some results.
A lieutenant of one of the companies
stated that several men from his COM
pany alone have quit within the last
few months. some of them not even
asking for dismissal, but allowing
themselves to be dishonorably dis
charged for non-attendance, and that
in several of these cases that he inves-
tigated, he found the men had recently
and gave that as their reason for leav-
ing the states service, alleging that
they could not belong to both organi-
cations.
These reasons were not given direct
ly to the officer, but reached him
through other members of the company
to whom the discharged member had
SANCH AIlNHi III lIilS company
there are still a number of members
who are also members of the different
labor unions. and from his experience
with the other men the officer rather
thinks it not improbable that these will
refuse to re-enlist when their present
enlistment has expired
1t is impossible to find to what ex-
tent the antagonism of the unions to
the companies has affected the latter,

tigated the causes when men have left
their commands, but it is conceded that
in some cases the inroads have been
pretty heavy.

GRAND JURY WILLSAY
WHAT OFFICERS DID IN BOURQUIN
MURDER INVESTIGATION.
TO HEAR THE WITNESSES.
SPECIAL SESSION TO BE CALLED
FOR SATURDAY MORNING.

County Officers VIII Report the Re-
suit of the Investigation of Ten
Days-Grand Jury VIII Try and
Determine who Assassinnted Gu
gle BOurquin and the Negro Fred
Taylor on the Dean Forest Road.
After the Officers Have Presented
Their Theory. Witnesses Who
Have Been Intercepted VIII Be
Called Upon TO Again Answer
Questions. but This Time Under
Oath-MiIIer No Longer Considered
in Connection With the Double
Murder and the Hypnotic Exhibit
tions Have Been Laid on the shelf
The county officers who for ten days
and nights have been working on evi-
dence that might lead to the discov-
cry OF the identity of the murderers
of Gugie Bourquin and the old negro,
Fred Taylor, on the Dean Forest road,
have about concluded their investiga-
ton and will submit their report to
the grand jury Saturday morning at
20 O'Clock.
A special session of the grand jury
will be called and the officers will then
disclose such evidence as they have
accumulated. Witnesses viii be sub
poenaed and examined and the grand
jury will be placed in possession of
all the facts. Link by link the officers
will endeavor to join the chain and
present it unbroken.
Solicitor at Scene of Crime.
Solicitor General Osborne visited the
scene of the homicide yesterday MORN
ing and familiarized himself with the
surroundings. He saw the spot where
the negro Taylor fell on the railroad
track, and where later his dead body
was mangled by a Seaboard train. The
solicitor general was deeply interested
in all he saw and carefully measured
the distance from the embankmenI
where Mr. Bourquin's buggy with his
body was found by Mr.. ed. Lowell ana
Mr. Harry Dreese, to the spot where
the negro was shot down.
The distance will mean much in de-
termining whether one or two men
committed the crime. 1t is known
that the officers have been working
diligently on things that alone seem
trlffinE, but Wnen connected WllH
other things may mean a great deal.
Whether or not they have reached any
conclusion they of course refuse to
say They win say nothing beyond
that they have done all in their power
and have secured all the information
they could. They have completed their
investigation and are now ready to put
it up to the grand jury to say whether
there shall be any further inquiry.
Not only will the officers appear be-
fore the body and make their state
ments, but the witnesses Intercepted
by them from time to time will also
be examined.
Joe Miller Out of It.
The negro Joe Miller no longer
figures in the case so far as the county
officers are concerned. 1t is known
that they do not consider him in any
other light than that of a monumental
liar. Not a single utterance that he
has made is credited and he is not
even being thought of in connection
with the assassination. The hypnotic
exhibitions. too. have been quietly
laid on the shelf and if any arrests
are made it is not at all likely that
either Miller or hypnotism will figure
in the trial.
