of which We're said to have been
written by her and some by a de-
tectiye. The expert looked them over
carefully and then said they were all
done by the same hand.
The principal witness for the prose-
cution was Detective Sergeant VIM.
r. Peabody, who told how, he en-
trapped the young woman by repre-
senting himself as a crook who had
shared Parker's cell. He said the
woman took him home with her, when
his offer, of 500 to help her husband
had won her confidence, and told how
she had unWittingly furnished him
with samples of her forgeries.
Peabody declared the woman pro-
posed they should rob mail boxes in
the residence districts and go into the
business districts early in the morn
ing while the porters were cleaning
up and the mail was scattered on the
floors. She told him he could get
hold of the letters and checks and
she could do the rest.
When he had got all the informa-
ton he wanted and the woman's
money, he turned her over to fell
low detective, who arrested her.
In cross-exanfnation, Mr.. LIE Bar
bier, counsel for Mrs. Parker, elected
from Peabody the information that
she had told him she dearly loved
her husband, and rather than see him

After her arrest, Detective Peabody
was forced to admit that the woman
had told him she knew him to be a

The ingenuity of this defense, out
lined at the outset of Mr.. lie Bar
bier's cross-examination, is helped by
the fact that Mrs. Parker's husband
has already pleaded guilty and is
awaiting sentence.

SAYS FREEDOM
IS ONLY A FARCE
Toastmaster at Building Contractors
Banquet Declines to Toast En-
blem of Liberty
No Liberty Exists, He Says, Where
Unions Gan Murder with
Impunity.
New York Sun Special Service.

=.
Chicago, Dec. 12.-With the stars
and stripes rejecting their colors in
his eyes, no matter toward which wall
he turned, William O. Brien, tOastmas-
ter at the banquet Of contractors and
builders at the Auditorium hotel this
morning refused to toast the flag as an
emblem of liberty.
Why. the emblem of liberty is a
farce" he cried when men are shot
down in the streets because they are
trying to earn an honest living; when
We are afraid to assert our rights for
fear some labor organization will OPP
pose u.s."
The banquet hall was thronged with
delegates to the national contractors"
conference and members Of the Build
ing Contractors council of Chicago,
by whom the feast was spread, and as
POSTMASTER O'Brien uttered his opin-
ion of what he characterized a fettered
liberty the big hall was made to echo
the cheers of appreciation.
me POSTMASTER was the last speak
er-he also had been the first and had
had pleasant word to say between
speeches-and it was l a. m. when his
gathering anger, which had collected
energy from other antitrades union
speeches, broke forth.
1T is ridiculous" he declared, "to
think you should be obliged to waste
your time discussing your rights with
walking delegates, business agents and
labor leaders. You have your rights,
and no man should be able to step in
and dictate to you and tell you where
your rights begin and end. We want
to make this national organization so
strong that it will never again be nee
essary for us to confer day after day
With labor leaders to obtain our rights.
IF man is not a union member
and is loyal to you, you must be loyal
to him. We must be able to obtain
liberty in every sense of the word, and
not merely privileges. The conditions
are disgraceful which make it neces-
sary for us to consult with our en-
ployes at every STEP
Tired of Dictation.
Contractor. William Grace of Chi
cago declared that he was tired of be-
ing told what to do by Gompers and
Mitchell and other labor leaders.
Mr.. Grace. declared that the running
of the United States mail cars with
out police protection during the
recent strike had made him think that
his rights and the rights of every
American citizen We're just as sacred
as the mail cars.
By other speakers all the troubles of
zthe@builders were laid at the door of
organized labor. The; feeling for the
open shop was strong.

HANNA,s COUP
Cousins. Foremost of "Standpatters,'
May Be Temporary Chairman.
CDao;.1 ~ rho Y,,,-,,.1 q

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa. Dec. 12.-Priyate
advices from Washington leave no
doubt that Congressman Robert G..
Cousins of this state will be the. tenn
porary chairman of the national re-
publican convention.
It is the understanding that he is
Hanna's choice and as such will not
an interesting story.
Cousins is an intimate friend of
Senator Hanna. When the latter
read Cousins famous stand pat
speech which startled the. republican
state convention here last June by al
most openly defying Governor Cum
minis, who had just been nominated,
and indirectly denouncing. the plat
form for it's tariff reform features, he
fastened to congratulate Cousins and
told him that he was assuredly an elo-
quent exponent of true republican
principles.
Hanna suggested at the time that he
knew of no one better capable of ex-
pounding the traditional principles of
the party, particularly protection, at
the next national convention, and at
that time the movement to make
Cousins temporary chairman was
launched.
Coming as it does. when Governor
Cummins is laying his wires to con-
troll the Iowa delegation to the nation
al convention, so as to have backing IN
his proposed fight for tariff revision.
Senator Hanna's expressed preference
is unusually significant.

turbances between capital and labor,
whenever it can bring it's force to
bear. The object Of the bill is to
| provide a means whereby public SEN
timent may be brought to bear di-
rectly upon labor troubles.
The bill creates a tribunal of six
members, five of them to be appoint
ed by the president and confirmed by
the senate, and the sixth to be the
shall have no vote. The arbitrator
are of course, to be men of high
character and ability. They are to
serve six years, at a salary of $4,000
per year.
How 1t Will Work
The tribunal is to acquire 5urisdic-
ton over any dispute only on the vol
untary application of one or. both par
ties to the contention. When applica-
ton is made, the board is to furnish
blank forms to the contestant, who
will fill out the details of his side
of the case and subscribe to it's truth.
The tribunal will thereupon furnish
to the other party a copy Of this COM
plant, with an invitation to submit
the case to the tribunal for arbitra-
ton.
If the second party agrees to ar
bltrate the differences and to accept
the verdict of the tribunal, an inves-
tigation Of the entire case will fol-
low, the parties being required to
maintain the status quo until the de-
cision is rendered. The decision will
be retroactive to the date of the COM
plant, thus preventing delay in bring
ing about a settlement.
In cases where the parties agree
to arbitrate and the tribunal decides
the question at issue, only the bare
decision of the tribunal is to be made
public.
Power of Public Sentiment.
In case, however, the proposition
to arbitrate is refused by the second
party, the tribunal srequired to make
public. the complaint OF the party
proposing arbitration, with: the fact
that the second party was invited to
arbitrate the matter and refused to
do SO. Then, according to the franz
er of the bill, public opinion will do
the rest. Or, if after having accepted
arbitration, one of the parties should
refuse to abide by the decision of the
arbitrator, the tribunal is required to
make public the complaint and an
swer, together. with an abstract of the
evidence adduced, showing the basis
for the decision reached. In this
event, also, the public being made
acquainted with the facts, impartially
passed upon by a tribunal of the high
est standing, will quickly decide for
itself which party is In the right.
1t is provided in the, bill that the
decisions of the tribunal shall be
positive or negative. OH specific. mum
bered points covering the questions al
| issue. There can be no halfway de-
cision. But room is made for COM
promise at any stage of the proceed
ings by giving both parties leave to
modify their specific points of differ

bill nuts in operation a plan similar
to that which was found necessary in
the navy as the result Of the Spanish
war, which is practically the creation
of an extra grade.
In this way no injustice is done the
same time the officer who deserves re-
ward gets the increased rank and pay.
The proposed bill provides:
"That the president be authorized

such grade and the officer to be en-

commission not to supersede or affect

and command are concerned.

to retain, ordinarily, the command to
which their regular commissions en-
title them, they will be entitled also
to the benefit Of their distinguished

no one, would not increase the num-

Washington, Dec. 12.-On his re
turn here, at the end of the month,
General Arthur Macarthur will be
called upon by Secretary Root to ex-
plain his statement at Honolulu that
war between the United States and
Germany is inevitable.
The generals denial of the correct
ness of Colonel Jones report to Gov
ernor Carter at Honolulu is regarded
as in the nature of an explanation
but the fact that remarks We're made
in private conversation do not neces-
sarily shield an officer from the re-
quirement Of an explanation. This
is demanded in the interest of fairness
to the general.
