1armer Union Chief Narrates to Jury
Tale Of How his Maneuvers

Plot to Kill Mayer.

Chicago, June 1.-THE grand jury
Friday heard remarkable story con-
Meeting John G. Driscoll with the with
dFaWal Of Clarence s. barrow from the
mayoralty race in 1902. According to
this tale. hints Of which were fur
nished the jurors, $4,000 was given
Mr.. Driscoll to be used among the la
Dor leaders In inducing Mr.. barrow to
withdraw.
Driscoll himself has related how
certain Of the labor chiefs were paid
$50 each to sign telegram to Mr..
Darrow, then in Philadelphia, asking
him to give up his ambition to be
mayor of Chicago. I'VE want you
for judge" the telegram explained.
Afterward, it is charged, Driscoll
boosted that he had received the
$4,000, but that It had required only
1880 to do the business with cheap
labor leaders.
What Became Of Balancsp
What became Of the remaining
$S.500?" is the question the grand
jurors have asked.
The jurors would like to know. also.
who furnished the $4,000. It may
have come from certain traction inter-
ests which were opposed to OAR
row, 1t As suggested, or 1t might have
been furnished by some other inter-
est which wanted to see barrow de-
feated. and saw an opportunity in the
close relations existing between Dris,
coll and the labor leaders. Mr.. OAR
row was recognized as labor candi-
date, and, according to the story, it
was argued that the best way to influ-
ence him into quitting was to have
pressure brought to bear on him by
the labor men themselves. The
"cheapness" of these leaders, however,
was underestimate, If the story is
true.
Makes Tramps Of Leaders.
In this connection 1t is related that
Driscol1 made literal tramps of many
labor leaders. He spent money freely
buying drinks for them, but otherwise
he was anything but liberal in his
dealings.
1t is related that Driscoll had
habit Of attending strictly to business
for several days at time, appearing
regularly at his Office Then he
would disappear for several days, dur
ing which he cemented his friendship
with the labor chiefs, and, incidentally.

ALEXIS RESIGNS HIS OFFICE
GRAND DUKE QUITS As Ap.
MIRALTY HEAD.
Action Of Cars Uncle Causes sensa-
ton in Royal Circles-Emperor
Accepts Resignation.

st. Petersburg, June IL. - The sensa.
tional announcement vas made Thurs.
day night that Grand Duke Alexis, the
high admiral, who is an uncle of the en-
peror, and Admiral Avellan, head of the
Russian admiralty department, had re-
signed, and that the car had accepted
his Hpcle's designations. The announce
ment was followed few minutes later
by an imperial rescript, relieving the
grand duke OF the supreme direction
OF the navy, which he had held since
the days of the emperor's father, Alex.
ander III, when Russia resolved to
enter the lists as first-class sea power,
and to build up great navy, the rem
nants of which were destroyed in the
battle of the Sea of Japan.
The words of the rescript give no
hint OF imperial anger, and the real
explanation probably will not leak out
for several days, but the instant dispo.
sition was to regard the retirement Of
Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral Avel.
Ian as concession to public opinion,
following the crowning tragedy Of the
Sea Of Japan. Charges Of mismanage-
ment and inefaciency and tales Of cor
ruption and even worse against the
marine department have been rife for
years. After the war began they in.
creased tenfold, and lately regular
campaign against the department has
been openly conducted by the news
papers. Some startling revelations
have been made in this campaign, and
Capt. Clado, who was one of the lead
ing critics OF the conduct of the navy,
was dismissed from the service for
his persistence. It was felt even in
quarters where charges Of corruption
were not entertained that it would be
unwise to entrust the building Of the
navy to the hands which were respop-
sible for the hapless fleets Of the past
