LABELS
ON THE DEAD
Chicago Funeral Professions
Are Placarded to Prevent
Violence on Part of Strikers
PEACE IS IN PROSPECT
Liverymen's Association and
Former Employees Seem Dis
posed to Resort to Arbitration

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The Liverymen's
Association at meeting this after
noon decided that unless a peaceable
settlement of the drivers strike was
reached tomorrow it would open for
business with non-union employees and
would appeal to the courts for an in
junction to prevent the strikers inter-
fering in any manner with the driving
of carriages orr hearses. Word of the
injunction proposal reached the strikers
just as vote had been COMPLETED to
submit the ISSUES in the controversy
to arbitration and the action of the
employers was bitterly criticized by
the men. No announcement Of the re-
suit of the vote of the strikers was
made, but the general impression was
that arbitration had been accepted.
At the time the men were voting on
the question of conciliation the mem
bers of the Liverymen's Association
decided to submit the whole dispute to
arbitration; provided that the strikers
took the Initiative and that the demand
for Deaceable. settlement came from
the men. In anticipation of the propo-
sition being accepted by the men COM
mittee was appointed to receive any
overtures that the union might be will
ing to make. The union officials were
Immediately notified of the decision
reached by the employers and the lat
ter, 1t is understood, will have a reply
ready tomorrow morning
The first union label funeral" since
the strike began occurred to-day. The
funeral was arranged by Undertaken
u. M. Marks, the corpse being removed
in dead" wagon bearing the placard
proclaiming that the vehicle was owned
by an undertaken paying the union
scale. The carriages containing the
mourners were similarly labeled
The funeral of John j. Kelly was held
under cover of darkness on account of
the possibility of violence. The services
had been announced before the recall
obpickets last night. After simple home
services an undertaker's wagon con-
veyed the remains to railroad depot,
from which the corpse was shipped to
st. Paul, Mimi.
The body of Mrs. Catherine. Master
son, the mother of Rev. John Masterson.
was borne through the streets to the
Church of the Holy Family on an un-
dertaker's truck, which was used in
substitution for a hearse. Six pail
bearers walked bareheaded beside the
flower-strewn coffin, and following them
came a procession of mourners. Fifty
carriages had been asked for, but none
were provided, and more than 200 per-
sons were prevented attending the bu-
rial !
One of many other funerals from
which hearses were withheld to-day
took place not far from the Masterson
home and led to the charge that liv-
erymen had entered into pool or COM
bination to prevent the use of hearses
for bearing dead to the graves. After
engaging a hearse for funeral I'm
dertaker Marks, who yesterday signed
the union scale, was refused by a liv-
cry owner the use of the vehicle. For
two hours the funeral was delayed
while the mourners awaited hearse
When none could be had a dead"
wagon was used.

DEATH PENALTY
Frank H. Burness, Who Shot
the Captain of a Schooner,
Is Found Guilty of Murder
ADMITS OTHER KILLINGS
Assures Jurors That He Bears
Them No Ill Will and Wishes
Them a Merry Christmas

NEW YORK. Dec 22.-Frank H.
Burness. A years old, who shot and
killed Captain George B. Townsend Of
the schooner Charles K. Buckley on
November 10. because Townsend would
not pay him Sc 80 which the prisoner
alleged TO be due him, was convicted
to-day of murder in the. first degree.
The murderer. who admits having
killed three men besides Townsend, in
sisted that he did the deed with pre-
meditation and in a full realization of
the consequences. Burness smiled
broadly when the jury was being polled
Judge Crane said he would sentence
Burness on Monday. Burness then
asked the Judge if he would he permit
ted TO say something. On being given
the privilege he said:
There may be an idea in the minds
of some Of the jurors that 1 hold
grudge against them for having found
me guilty. I wish to say that 1 do not
feel in that way in the slightest, and
all ] can say is 1 wish them all a merry
Christmas"
When asked what he thought would
be the result of his act he coolly re-
piled:
Il only see one way out of it,"
What is that?''
Why, the chair, of course"

bondholders. He says:
"As to the charges in the cross bill
that 1 acted in collusion with the re-
organization committee of the ship
building company in an attempt to
force the insolvency of said company
and to wreck it, I aver that such
charges are false and malicious. 1
aver that James Smith Jr.. receiver of
the shipbuilding company, knows that
such charges are untrue.

praisal it will appear that the net work.

companies, excluding the Bethlehem
company, does not exceed the sum of

greater part thereof, may be wasted
and lost by the continuance of the re-
ceivership and that such shipbuilding
plants cannot be operated and kept
working as going concerns without the
addition of very large sums of money
as necessary working capital"
Schwab closes his defense by denying
every charge of fraud, misdcing. un-
lawful combination and confederacy,
and "humbly prays to be hence dis

REVELATION Anglers COUNSEL.
Schwab's Attorney Wants Some One
Punished for Giving Out Letters.


NEW YORK, Dec. 22-The hearing in
the United States shipbuilding re-
ceivership proceedings was continued
until tomorrow. because of the illness
of Counsel Untermeyer of the suing
bondholders. Before the examiner an
nounced the adjournment Guthrie,
counsel for Schwab and others, made
statement regarding the publication
OF the letters and kilograms that
passed between the firm of Alexander
q Green regarding the French under
writer's. Guthrie said in part:
L desire to call the examiners at
tention to the publication in a news
paper in this city this morning of the
letters, kilograms and cables which
have been the object of examination
at several hearings before you.
Those letters, kilograms and cable
grams were not exhibited in evidence
because Mr.. Alexander felt constrained
to plead privilege and confidence, be-
cause they were the private communi-
cations from members of the firm in
relation to the private business of
their clients. Pending the ruling of
the court ON the question of admissi-
bility of these communications, which
you said you would certify to the court,
and while these letters, kilograms and
cablegrams were claimed to be privi-
legged, they were furnished to a news
paper and published this morning. We
understand this publication to be
direct contempt of court, and that the
person guilty of causing their publica-
tion is guilty of a gross contempt
We ask you, therefore, that at the next
hearing we may temporarily suspend
the taking of testimony of complain
ants witnesses and take testimony as
to the person who gave publication to
these letters, kilograms and cable
grams"
Wollman, associate counsel with
Samuel Untermyer, replied:
IF there is to be an insinuation that
Mr.. Untermyer or myself had any
thing to do with giving publicity to
these communications, 1 here declare
that it is absolutely untrue. Neither
Mr.. Untermyer nor I had anything to
do with giving out these letters, tele-
grams and cablegrams to the press
Mr.. Guthrie Knows there are many
copies of them in existence and that
copies could easily be obtained. l was
as much surprised at seeing them pub
lished this morning as Mr.. Guthrie
could have been"
81 hope so, for the good name Of
the bar" exclaimed Mr.. Guthrie.
you have done much in this case
against the good name of the bar, Mr..
Guthrie" replied Wollman. Your
course has been reprehensible. 1 do
not know, nor do l care, what the law
Is, but the persons who gave these
communications TO the press ought to
be punished. / do not object to Mr..
Guthrie,s insinuation when Mr.. Guth-
rie knows, as he does, how easy 1t is
to get these copies"
After some further discussion be-
tween counsel it was agreed they
should cooperate in an effort to learn
who gave out the communications in
