 of Labor Unf0ns.
 Cincinnati, Nov. 2s.--No additional arrests were made here today in con- neetion with the alleged plot of Che striking holders to destroy the Eu- reka foundry with dynamite.
 The day passed quietly at the found ries.
 Chief interest eentered in the arrest of Joseph F. Valentine, President of the Iron Molders Union of North America, in Cleveland. The charge against Val entine is aiding and abetting the mali cious destruction of property. The warrant for his arrest was sworn to by President Henry Designer, of the Eureka Foundry Company. a personal friend of tn eaccused.
 4 detective from this city started for Cleveland late this afternoon to bring Valentine back to this city. Another detective went to Detroit for Thomas Bracken, who is charged with compile ity in the murder of Samuel WeakIey, a non-union molder here October 2.
 The cases of Frederick Rauhauser, Jr., and Frederick Rauhauser, Sr., John Hook, oJseph HoIloweli and Joseph F. Valentine, were called in Police Court today and on motion of their attorneys their trial was set for December 14 All of the above named are now in GUS tody except HolIowell, who has not yet been arrested. The cases of Edward Trainor and Thomas Bracken were set for next Saturday. There are eight eases in all. William Friend, alias Pat ton being already indicted for the mur- der of weakley.
 Friend in an interview today denied all knowledge of plot to kill Weak1ey or any other non-union m6lder. He said he killed Weakley in self-defense.
 Young Rauhauser insists that John Hook. committeeman of local uniop met him and his father on the night of November 18th. Later that night Hook brought in Joseph Hollowell, who went out for the dynamite after Hook had made the arrangements with the ap- prentice. HolloweIl was to get the dynamite at Heinekamp's ofiice. Find ing that place closed, Rauhauser said: T waG instructed In the use of dyna- mite by Joseph Hollowell; at the same time he told me to destroy the mold of shear punch. Valentine agreeing to pay me $2o If I succeeded In destroying the shear punch.
 T was told by Joseph Holloweu to destroy all the molds I could and was given five cartridges by Hollowell.
 T left Valentines office at 10 o'clock and returned to my home, telling my father what was expected to do. I went to work as usual Monday. Novem- Der 21st."
 In the remaining part of his confes- sion, Rauhauser tells of putting the cartridges in lathes at 3 80 D. m.. No vember 31st. and of the first discharge at 5 p. m, while the workmen were pouring metal In the mold.

Theory of Murder of
 Chauffeur.
WRONG MAN WAS SLAIN
Edwin Archer the Intended
 Victim of Bullets.
In cineinnuti, Young Rauhnuser Re- iterates His confesslOn Az to At se.npted Dynamite Outrage at
 Eureka Foundry.

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-A labor union con spiracy IS the latest explanation of the automobile tragedy near Lemont, Ills. According to this theory, John w. Bate, Jr, the young chauffeur was the vic- tim of bullets intended for Edwin Ar cher, vital witness for the prosecu- tion in a criminal case involving a number of Chicago labor union oni- cials.
 Archer was an employs of the same automobile company for which Bate worked. It is a singular fact that Ar cher and Bates were the only two chauffeurs on duty when the automo- bile was hired by telephone for MT. Dove the supposed murderer.
 Only a moment before Archer was alone and 1t was he who received the original commission to accompany Dove" A sudden impulse of presen- timent of danger led Archer to turn the work over to Bate.
 Believed Himself in Danger.
 Archer had for months believed him self iu danger since he gave testimony in the case of an alleged professional slugger who was charged with attack ing non-union electrical workers and who was freed by a change of court records. The alteration of the records was discovered and fed to the convic- tion of court clerk and several of- ficials of labor unions on charge of conspiracy. Other cases were still pending.
 Aheher's attorney was today Sd strongly impressed with the probability of the labor union conspiracy explana- tion of the tragedy that he laid all the facts before the states attorney.
 A partial confirmation of the theory is the fact that Dove" Is said to have avowed himself an electrician while casually explaining his identity during an attempt to hire a horse and buggy in Joliet the day before the tragedy.
