Stanford VS.. Indians

BY an error a statement was made In
this column yesterday morning that
the next big football game would be
played by Berkeley and Stanford, when
it should have been Stanford and the
Indians. The Indians will be the op-
ponents of Stanford at Fiesta park
next Saturday, when the football fans
of California will learn the relative
strength of the teams competing for
championship honors. Should the In
dians win from Stanford the Cardi-
nails will be a slight factor in the final
result of the championship series, while
the opposite would be true If Stanford
wins by anything like as big a score
as Berkeley made against the braves
Saturday.

France Refuses Cup

The Automobile club of France has
written a letter to the Vanderbilt cup
commission declining the trophy won
by Hemery recently. The objection
made Is that France does not want the
next race or any other automobile
race and, not willing that the cup
should be defended on it's soil, the
French people prefer to relinquish the

Great Match Race

Arrangements are almost completed
for a match race that will attract the
attention of the entire country. The
purses offered will all be large and the
fields that will contest will be big and
we'll matched.
The meeting held last spring furn-
ished the best harness racing California
had ever seen and fasteners who were
here said it compared with the Grand
Circuit races in the east. Almost
every stake was a contest and the big
events were all won in fast time.
Zolock, the star of the coast this
year, will be on hand and horsemen
are predicting 2:04 or better for this
great stallion.
The big harness meetings in the east
being over, many owners are preparing
to ship their stables to the coast for
the races here. The local meeting will
be preceded by a three-day meeting at
San Bernardino, where great prepara-
tions are being made, and a meeting of
similar length at Santa Ana.

of manning have Been reported. Eight
men are in the tolls of the law as directly

is declared to be a matter of absolute
certainty, because of the confession of
the two leading lights, Casey and Gill

thing is ripe for adjusting the moose, but
one question still remains. How many

Scale of Prices.
The trio engaged in the real acts Of
smuggling, Gilhooley, Feeley and Looney,
received but SIS each for their murders,
but better prices than these are in ex-
istence for those who would take ad-
vantage of them. A scale of prices de-
clared by police authorities to have
been in existence for more than two
years and used in nearly every strike
launched in this city during that time,
follows:
For murder, 500 to $500.
Serious knockout, $25 to $100.
Leg or arm broken, $25 to $50.
Plain assault (gauged according to re-
sult), S. to SIS.
So much slaughter and food for
sluggerS was to be found in the strike
that it is believed in the cases brought
to light that cut rates were instituted.
The Plot Exposed.
Charles Casey, the leading unionist in
the scandal, in his signed confession to
the police, sets forth the facts in an in
teresting manner. In connection with
the Gilhooley murders he says:
"The first time I saw Charles Gill
hooley was on the afternoon of April
6, 1905. He, with two other men, was
in the vicinity of the Woods Vehicle
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-06-03

company, Twentieth street and Wa
bash avenue, where a strike was in
progress.
''Gilhooley came 20 me and said:
There is no use of you fellows black
ening the eyes of these men. We are
hired by the woodworkers and others
to do this kind of work and would like
to make arrangements with you. You
fellows are known and are in danger
of getting pinched. We are not known
and there is no danger for u.s.
81 told Gilhooley that I had no pow
er to make any arrangements with
him, but told him to come to the head
quarters of the union at No. 55 North
Clark street, which met that night. and
the matter would be taken up by those
who had some authority to act. That
night Gilhooley, Looney and, I believe,
Feeley were present at the meeting,
and they asked me how about that
matter they were talking about.
II brought the matter before the
meeting, and as result the executive

committee voted that a fund be laid
aside for educational purposes At
the same time list of names was Sc
lected including men who had refused
to go out on strike. These names were
selected by Henry j. Newman secre-
tary Of the Union, and Carlstrom' S
name was at the head Of the list. Gill
hooley said: Whom shall we get first p
He was told to go after the man whose
name headed the list and to get the
others in order. Gilhooley was given
cash from the fund for incidental ex-
penses.
Later met Gilhooley and he said:
We'll, got Meyers -CarlstrOm was
known also by the name of Meyers
he put UP an awful fight, kicked me in
the Sims and will have to go and see
DOCTOR Newman gave Gilhooley
more money, but he kicked and said he
should have SIS for the job. He said
he had received that amount from
other unions for the same sort of
work. We objected at the time, but
later he received five dollars more,
making SIS in all.
Later l met Gilhooley in a saloon
on Clark street and he told me he had
got other men. He said he met these
men Oh street cars and fixed them. Gil
hooley was given more money for his
services. Some time after this one of
his victims died, and when Gilhooley
appeared again he wanted to know if
we wanted any more slugging."
Other Gangs at Work.
Although Gilhooley's case has been
well-aired, his is not the only gang
which operates in strikes in Chicago.
There are known to be four other
bands of desperados, who derive their
living from preying on opposers Of
labor organizations. One has headquar-

Method of the System"
No question now exists here regarding
the methods which some Of the labor
unions, whose men quit work in the
great teamsters' strike, employed in
their endeavor to win out. When Gill
hooley confessed his part in the con-
spiracy there was some question as to
the real truth in the matter, many be-
lieving that the man, who has long
criminal record, might have boosted;
but before the avowal of Gilhooley's
part in the plot came the confession Of
Charles j. Casey, business agent Of the
wagon makers union, No. 4, telling the
whole history of the system" and
branding the transfers strike, in con-
nection with which the deeds were CON-
mitted, as blot of the blacklist charac-
ter, in the history of labor organizations.

the giant capercailzie, though a stran-
ger to Canada, would find here all the
natural conditions he enjoys in his ma
tive habitat, says a Lachine report to
the New York Sun.
Occasionally found in the highlands
of Scotland, this greatest of the grouse
family now makes his real home in
Finland, Norway and Iceland. He is
equipped by nature for life in high
ATTITUDES, and fattens upon such nour-
ishment as he derives where only
stunted specimens of birch and fir
trees exist.
North Of Lake Superior, and be-
tween that lake and Lake Temisca-
mingue to the northeast, is a tract of
wild country which is already a hunt
ers' paradise in some respects, where
cartridges and. to the north. ptarmi-
gan abound. Capital fishing is to be
had there, and there are still virgin
waters to be tried, where trout are
known to hide.
It is here that the government be-
gan its work of planting the black
game some three years ago. A good
deal of difficulty was experienced in
securing stock, as tho birds have be-
come exceedingly VARIABLE in Europe.
Some 50 pairs have been carefully
liberated there, and have bred most
successfully. They are to be strictly
protected for year or two longer,
and then it is expected that they will
be able to look after themselves.
Last winter was favorable to the
birds. as there was never any rain to
cause crust to form on the snow, and
they could find comfortable quarters
every cold night under the snow. Pine
cones were in abundance, and the
seeds they contain were well ripened
and preserved.
Wolves may have destroyed some
birds, for there has been a consider
able increase in the numbers of these
woodland scourges of late years. But
the capercailzie is a strong, wary bird,
not often taken unawares, even at
night time, and in the presence of
danger develops wonderful intelli-
gence So that when once they have
reached vigorous maturity the birds
may be expected to hold their own
against natural enemies.
Nor is it likely that in a country
having vast stretches of mountainous
forest land they will ever become ex-
tinct, when care has been taken to Sc
cure their establishment. Their i'm
mense strength of flight and innate
vigor and acute powers of vision make
it practically matter Of impossible
ity to secure large bag Of them.
So that if the protective plans of
the Ontario government are carried
out, this grand game bird may be con-
| sidered to be pretty certain to have
come to America to stay, and to glad
! den the hearts Of sportsmen by his
presence.

ters near West Van Buren, and Hal
sted streets; another near Chicago
avenue and Market street; another
near Twenty-second and States streets,
and still another in the downtown dis
trict. This last clique contains over
80 members, and any exceedingly des-
perate "job" is, as rule, placed to
their credit. Nearly 800 assaults have
come to the attention of the Employ
ers' association engaged in breaking
the teamsters strike, and that most Of
them may be laid to the five gangs
known to be operating in Chicago is
looked upon as a proven fact.
When Gilhooley learned of Casey's
confession he was wild with rage. He
tore about his cell, banging his hand
cuffs against the wall and vowed to
take the life Of the business agent if
opportunity ever presented itself.
"You - he roared. eff you had
kept your mouth shut they would
never have known anything about it..
They would never have been able to
prove anything against us. You are
a lot of soft-headed idiots and this
talk of yours will land you as well as
me, you -" Another round of
curses completed Gilhooley's senti-
menCs on the matter and he was led
away, still vowing he would have
Casey's life.
To fho ,,p;opc orCoOod II, thocn Dp-
farious plots the numbering bands are
known as "wrecking crews" and in a
playful spirit the cash required to car
ry on the business is charged to "edu-
cational purposes as pointed out in
Casey's statement.
Gilhooley's confession was easy to
extract from him. At first he was sui
len, refusing to talk, but fattering
word as to his prowess brought his
professional pride to the surface, and
with it his part in the crimes. Carl
strom. the last victim of Gilhooley's
band, gave his three assailants hard
tussle, and the attorney remarked:
81 guess he gave you pretty hard
fight for your SIS, didn't he?"
81 should say he did-he could fight
some," were the words that escaped
the big fellows lips before he realized
the trap. When he comprehended, h
broke forth in a paroxysm of rage.
Gilhooley Is Defiant.
"Well, what are you going to do about
it," Numbered Gilhooley, his eyes roll
ing and the perspiration appearing upon
his brow. What are you going to do
about it? Manslaughter's the most you
can make of it. can prove 1t was self
defense-the guy hit me wallop be-
fore l could get in my work. You watch
me, you black-hearted towards with
your stool pigeons-why, I'll bring II
witnesses to every one of yours to prove
It was self-defense. You can't scare me
I've been in this business too long
and if had it to do over again, I'd do the
Job up just about the same way"
Gilhooley, king of sluggers," is q
man just fitted for such calling, phys
ically, and because of his daring. He is
a giant in height and strength and cares
little for scruples, going about his muir.

lie is not visibly affected, for the simple
reason that slugging is nothing new
here.
The idea must not be gained that every
union in this city has employed men in
murderous missions, for such is not the
case. Many have stuck rigidly to the
straight and narrow path in their fights
with the employing class, allowing moth
ing but persuasion to enter into the sur
rounding conditions of the strike.
Will Benefit Honest Unions.
One benefit of the expose, one in which
the unions will gain, is pointed out by
Louis A. Heile, prominent labor at
torney. He says:
81 believe that the arrest and confess
sions of these men will have great In
f1uence upon the labor situation in this
city. The rank and file of the labor or
CARNATIONS have been kept in almost
total ignorance of the manner in which
strikes are conducted. l know that the
great majority of the members of the
Carriage and Wagon Workers union
in fact, nearly all of the members who
are not on the executive board-knew
nothing of what was going on and were
as much surprised as the general pub
lie when they read of the revelation
which followed the arrest of these men.
"We have never had any quarrel with
legitimate trade unionism. 1t is not
the employers, but the radical leaders,
such as this man Casey, who work harm
| to tn cause of labor. 1t is they who en-
/ ploy these scalawags and who fatten off
| of the misfortunes of the honest work
! ingman.
Unionists Disprove Smuggling.
81 know that this is the view that the
majority of the uniOnists in the city
will take of the matter. had occasion
to discuss the present investigation with
four union men, one of whom is brick
layer, another a plumber and another
street car man. They told me they were
glad that the men who connived at MUIR
] der had been apprehended, and hoped
| they would be punished.
| ''The sooner we get rid of the kind of
fellows who are paying these sluggers
the better it is for us" said one of them
to me. If we had cut them out before
we could never have a strike like the
| teamsters' walkout in Chicago

ton which we have begun vigorously,
and as long as there is anything further
to do. The Carriage and Wagon Manu-

members We are not going to stop there,
however. We want to know all about
what the officers of other unions have
been doing in the matter of employing
men to slug honest workingmen. I be-
lieve that by doing so we can put a stop

graced not only the labor unions but the
city.

which needed no demonstration that
