N. Castleman. Wounded
During an Union
Meeting
A PLOT TO KILL -FOUR.
Men Invited to Meet Members Of
an Independent Organization
In Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The shooting
last night of M. Castleman, labor
organizer Of Cincinnati, disclosed to
the police this morning a labor feud
with an alleged plot to kill four off,
GERS of the Amalgamated Sheet Metal
Workers International union.
Hugh Frayne, second vice presi-
dent, and Assistant Organizer Martin
appealed to the police for protection
and are now being guarded to pre-
vent their assassination. Assistant
Organizer Feeney from Salt Lake left
here last night for Michigan, immedi-
ately after the shooting of Castleman,
to avoid being killed.
The men named went last night on
an invitation to meet the members
of an Independent local organization,
which is a split-off of the national
union. The meeting was ostensibly
to adjust their differences so the To-
calls could rejoin the national body
1t is asserted that the minute they
entered the room, which is in the
river section of the city. men from
the local organization began shooting.
Castleman was dangerously wound
ed three times. one. shot being
through the abdomen. The shots were
continued as they ran down the street.
Unless the charges are disproved,
the police will arrest all members of
the local union who were in the room.

Plan TO FIGHT
LABOR UNIONS
IS Municipal Party Preparing to Nomi-
nate Ticket That Will Garry |ndorse-
ment of "0pen- Town. Element?

Frantic efforts were being made
during last evening and this forenoon
by the leaders of the Spokane munich
pal party to name ticket at the con-
vention Of the party in the courthouse
this afternoon headed by w. H. Acuff
that should have for its prime object
the defeat Of any aspirations that
may be put forward by organized la
Dor during the coming campaign.
A report that will not down is to
the effect that City Comptroller Floyd
l.. Daggett and Cit yTreasurer Harry
Esgleston have refused flatfooted to
run on this ticket unless the decision
to fight the organized labor unions of
the city is revoked by the party. Ac-
cordingly, 1t was stated today at
noon that dark horses might be nomi-
mated for the positions of comptroller
and treasurer
Wiseacres who have been working
with the municipal party promoters
this afternoon said the plan was to
name a ticket that should not be an
tagonistic to an open town, and that
should fight the ticket that is endors-
ed by the labor forces. For this
reason it was said the name of j. NJ

his property. "A lawyer, the confess
ion states, for IS induced Justice
Hinkle to accept the $50 bond. Ort-
man was also frightened into leaving
the country.
In the pail Hawkes. cried over the
arrest Of his alleged friend Ortman.
and made such fuss that Detective
McDermott grew angry and also be-
came suspicious, telling Hawkes. in
the presence Of jolly that If he had
his dues he (Hawkes) would prob
ably be in the penitentiary.
The confession also states that
Jolly never received the $50 he was
promised for his share in the per-
Torrance. and that Hawkes. ran from
him when he threatened to have him
arrested for the crime.
Although the police are still look
ing for Ortman and young Hawkes.,
they say the evidence in their pos
session is amply strong to convict the
elder Hawkes..
Detective Alex Macdonald broke
into room on Second avenue near
Lincoln street this afternoon and
found Ortman, who had been locked
in the room for two days with moth
ing to eat.
The officials took the starving man
to a restaurant and fed him before
taking him to the police station.

Raught as candidate to head the
ticket was merely blind; that Mr..
Raught favors organized labor and
that he stands absolutely no show of
receiving the nomination for mayor.
Back Of the whole movement, it is
said, the hand OF lower Howard street
is plainly to be seen, the understand
ing being that Dutch Jake" Goetz
and his cohorts are to use their Of
fees to induce the republican party
to endorse the nomination of MIR.
Acuff for mayor at their coming con-
vention.
In the nominations for the council,
men are being selected from all
parties, but there will be a majority
of them from the republican party,
and the majority named will be men
who are not likely to pass any laws
that Will greatly interfere with the
manner in which the city government
and open town are now being run.
AS an antidote to these conditions
a platform will probably be adopted,
worded so as to convey the Impress
ion that reforms restricting the wide
open side of the town are to be
passed
