BUNdALOOS OUT AGAIN
LEADER OF THE CROWD Ex-
CHANGES SHOTS WITH NEGRO.
Earl Harris, Colored, and william
Williams, White, Arrested for
Shooting at Each other.

Two shots were exchanged at Fountain
square last night between Earl Harris. col
ored, of 113s Prospect street, and bungaloo
gang headed by William Williams. of llzs
Shelby street, and as result both Harris
and Williams were arrested and locked up
at the police station, for shooting with In
tent TO kill and drawing deadly weapons.
Harris is young colored man who bears
a good reputation, and IL is said that his
action last night was entirely in seif-de-
fense
According to the story told by bystanders
Harris was in EIbrichts drug store az
Fountain square when the bungaloo gang
came along and called him a Niger" and
members of the crowd yelled XIII him."
and told him that If he came out they would
give him all the beating he could stand.
When it was time for the drug store to
close the young negro was compelled TO go
out on the street, and. conscious that the
bungaloos were waiting on the Outside for
him. drew a revolver from his pocket and
stepped out of the door. At that time Will
liams, who, 1T is said, was the leader of the
bungaloos, drew a revolver from his pocket
and opened fire on the negro, who returned
the fire.
Great crowds gathered. and had IL not
been for the timely arrival of Sergeant
Schwab and Patrolmen Kerins, Johnston,
Jackson and Brady the negro might have
been killed and a bungaloo or two might
have been missing. The sergeant and pa
trolmen placed Williams and Harris under
arrest and gave chase to the balance OF the
bungaloo gang, but up TO an early hour this
morning had failed TO locate any Of them.
Captain Hyland said last night that the
police were determined to break up the
outbreaks of the bungaloos. and will prose-
cute every case that comes 10 their atten-
ton TO the fullest extent of the law.

LA BOUNTIE'S STEALINGS
REGULATIONS OF LAWYERS CLERK

Employers. However, May Make a
Profit of 100000 on the Realizes
tate Crazed Mans Investments.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 22.-Mrs. Frank
v. La Bountie. the wife of the confidential
clerk and bookkeeper for the law firm of
Wilson & Smith, who, il Is alleged, used
hundreds of thousands of dollars of his
employers money TO carry on his extern
sive real-estate deals. made statement to-
day in behalf of her husband. She says her
husbands operations were on a more ex-
tensive scale than thus far had been adj
mitted. The figures now. are approaching
the half million mark and the investigation
is not nearly finished.
My husband returned $4,000 before his
employers knew anything about his wrong
doing. said Mrs. La Bountie. Since the
beginning OF the investigation he has turned
over to the firm of Wilson & Smith property
that aggregates in value not less than $500
000 He did everything in his power to
straighten out affairs and he intends to
continue TO do so. When all is over Wilson
& Smith will be able TO realize a profit of at
least 100000 from the operations of a man
who was insane on the subject of real
estate speculations and whose mental de-
rangement was due entirely TO being over
worked"
La Bountie's salary from Wilson & smith
was So. 80 month.

firm, that every estate and client of ours
will be reimbursed for any losses

Odicers Say the Report Was Circu.
lated to 1njure Them-Other Union
Labor News Items.

F'ifty-five new members were enrolled last
night at the third meeting of the local
union of the Bartenders' International
League Of America. The meeting was held
in the Iron Molders hall on East Washing
ton street and was attended by over 100
bartenders The organization is compare
lively new in this city and a greater part of
the meeting last night was given TO per-
fecting the laws of the body. In the three
meetings which have been held 15s bartend-
ers have been enrolled on the books and
with the outstanding applications the total
membership will amount to over 200. The
union will receive its charter at its next
meeting, which will be held a week from
next Wednesday night. 1t promises to be
one of the largest and strongest unions in
the city. The following are the officers:
]. w. Bradley. president; William Preston.
vice president Frank Ivory, financial sec
rotary; Charles Spect, recording secretary;
George Losh, corresponding secretary.
The bartenders are very indignant over
the statement that they had adopted an
anti-treat plan, which forbade them from
drinking or treating while on duty. Sec
retaries Frank Ivory and Charles Spect
said last night that there was absolutely
no truth i'm the report and that they had
not even thought of the matter. They were
in ignorance as to how the report original
ed and said that the paper that first pub
lished the statement had not even sent a
reporter around to see them. President
Bradley, who was quoted in the article,
said that he had never talked to a reporter
concerning an anti-treat plan and the first
he knew of ii was when he saw the article
in an evening paper. The barmen are in
clined to think that the report was circu-
lated to injure them. The idea, they say,
came from the action of the Jersey City
convention, which adopted such rule.

SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS.
Intimation that Unionists Extorted
Money from Bosses and Builders.

NEW YORK. July 22.-Before Judge New
burger, in the Court of General Sessions
Lawrence Murphy, formerly treasurer of
the Journeymen Stonecutters' Association,
has been placed on trial for grand larceny
The specified charge is that Murphy, on
May 2, 1902, appropriated s12.7s4 all the
funds of the union. Some of the questions
John F. Mcintyre, Murphy's counsel, asked
in examining talesmen which were regarded
as important and significant. were:
IF the evidence during the trial of this
case shows that II was customary in this
stonecUtters union to levy fines and penal
ties upon master masons, owners, builders
and bosses. would it prejudice you against
the defendant?
IF it is shown that through threats and
fear these owners and builders have given
up TO persons in the union large sums of
$50 600, $40 00 $4,000 and $4,000 from time
time, would your verdict be influenced?

verdict" continued Mr.. Mcintyre. if we

BLOW TO TWO fUGITIYES
IMPORTANT DECISION IN GREENE
AND GAYNOR CASE.
United states Granted Leave to APP
Caron Discharging the Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, July 22-The Department
of Justice has received a cabIegram from
Mr.. McMaster, Canadian counsel for this
government in the Greene and Gaynor case
who Is now in London. stating that the ap-
plication to the privy counsel of England
for leave to appeal from the decision Of
Justice Caron. of Quebec. dischargihg the
accused, has been granted. The cablegran
said that the lord chancellor, in granting
leave to appeal. stated that one judge could
not interfere with another in proceedings
upon a serious and important matter of
this nature; that the offenses were clearly
extraditable. and that. while there was con-
spiracy. there was also something more.
Pending the examination of the accused
before an extradition commissioner in Cam
ada who was fully clothed with jurisdic-
ton the case was withdrawn from him un-
der applications for habeas corpus. and was
finally decided by Justice Caron and the
accused discharged. The United States con-
tended that the proceedings before the ex-
tradition judge could not thus be interfered
with. and that view has been sustained.
One ground upon which Justice Caron
decided the merits of the controversy was
that the case involved mere conspiracy.
that. however serious the substantive
crimes were, the real charge upon which
they would be tried here, and which was
involved In the complaint preferred i'm
Canada, was conspiracy TO commit these
crimes. and that conspiracy was not an
extraditable offense under the trea ties
Counsel for the United States earnestly
contended against this view, arguing thai
the facts and the charges show that Greene
and Gaynor were actual participants i'm the
frauds OF Captain Carter, and that these
substantive offenses and participation In
them were clearly covered by the provisions
of the extradition treaties with England
and by the laws of both the United States
and Canada. III Is believed that the nrivx,
counsel sustains this contention also indi
eating that while the case involved con-
spiracy there was also something more
namely, participation i'm the subs tantiye Of
lenses actually consummated.
While IL Is not possible To state aeon
rafely the immediate effect of the Judgment
of the privy council, IL is regarded as a
notable victory for the United States The
case will now up on appeal for DELHI
crate consideration OF all the questions
involved from the decision of the single
Canadian judge To the privy council of
England. IL is not yet known when the
case wil be heard on the merits by that
tribunal The brief report received seems
- show plainly that the contentious of the
United States on the merits have been slls-
tained and the final result of the surrender
of Greene and Gaynor by the Canadian
Authorities Is foreshadowed.

PLANS OF THE HOLDERS.
Stove Men Will Elect a Financial
Secretary TO-NiRht.

Secretary Tonight.
The local union of stove iron molders met
last night in the Union block on West
Maryland street, their object being to elect
a financial secretary in the place Of George
Custer, who will soon enter into national
work for the molders. However. 1t was de-
cided to postpone the election until to-
night, when a joint meeting of the three
iron holders unions will be held in Smiths
Hall, 80 North Illinois street At this meet
ing a business agent to fill the place of
Mr. Custer will also be elected. There are
about 200 men I'm the three unions and all
are interested in the election of the bust
ness agent, so that the meeting tonight is
more or less of an affair Each union is
anxious to have one of its men elected,
and therefore ii is expected that candi-
GATE will be doomed by each union. If this
is the case the machine iron molders will
have the advantage, as they outnumber
the other two unions twice over. The
bench molders and the stove molders are
about evenly divided. and should they COM
bine forces they could make a strong fight
against the machine molders. The general
opinion among the molders, regardless of
partisanship, is that George Gunnery of
the machine men, will receive the nominal
ton.

Northern is about to issue a circular calling
for 1900 men to go into the Northwest
harvest fields to help garner the big crop of
wheat and offering special inducements to
workers who desire to come from points
south and east of st. Paul. These circu-
lars are the result of systematic canvass
of the situation by the railroads, and show
the reports of the agents of the two roads
for the necessity of securing men. They
say that many are needed and that there
will be ample work from Aug. 1 to late in
the autumn at s. and S. day.
LAS a special inducement to men from
the Southeast these roads offer for the lat
ter part of this month and through August
an average rate of Sc to 81 person for par
ties of FIVE. In order that the workers need
not spend their earnings in getting home
they offer a return certificate, which, when
signed by the farmer for whom they
worked, will entitle them TO a return rate
at the same fare back they paid in coming.
