INDICTMENTS RETURNED.
Former Circuit Court Clerk Held o,
Charges Of Forgery and Other
Offenses.

Chicago, April -Thirty-one in
dictments were returned against John
A. Cooke, former clerk of the circuit
court. This was the sensational CHI
max to the investigation which has
been conducted for a week by the
grand Jury.
That so many true bills should be
voted against Cooke was a surprise to
his friends, who had predicted that he
would not be made the subject of true
bills.
Capiases for his arrest were ordered
to issue Immediately, but the states
attorney was informed that Cooke
would appear probably Saturday aft
srnoop and furnish bail.
Cooke was hit even harder than
John A. Linn. Against the latter the
March grand jury voted 26 indict-
ments. Against Cooke there are % in
dictments alleging forgery, one for
embezzlement, one for Withholding
public books and records from his sue
cessor and one for conspiracy to OBJ.
tain $4,000 by fraud.
The defendant will be compelled to
furnish bonds aggregating $3s, O0O
Bail OF $1,000 Is demanded in each OF
the forgery cases, the same in the case
OF concealing public records, $4,000 in
the conspiracy charge and the same
amount in the embezzlement case.

HENRY G.GOLL FOUND GUILTY
BIGELow's TESTIMONY FAILS TO
SAVE BANK EMPLoYE.
Former Assistant Cashier of First Ma
tiona1 of Milwaukee Is Convicted
on Thirty-Four Counts.

I Milwaukee, May Henry G. Coll,
former assistant cashier of the First
National bank of this city, was found
guilty by jury in the United States
district court on 10 counts out
of "a. The counts in the indictments
against the defendant on which he was
found guilty relate to false entries and
the misapplication of funds in the
bank, those relating to embezzlement
and kilograms being thrown out.
The verdict was reached by the jury
after a session lasting eight hours.
The amount of money which Coll
was alleged to have misapplied was
about $250l000. Mr.. Coll was I'M
moved by the verdict and referred all
interviewers to his attorneys. He was
remanded to the custody Of the United
States marshal.
Attorney William B. Rubin, for the
defendant, at once made motion fol-
a new trial.
The trial Of Henry G. Coll lasted ex-
actly three weeks, during which time q
large volume of evidence was submit
ted to the jury. The most interesting
part of the testimony was that offered
by the former president of the bank.
Frank G. Bigelow, who is now serving
a ten years sentence at the Fort Leav-
enworth prison, he having pleaded
guilty to footing the bank, without I'M
dergoing trial. Bigelow testified that
many of the acts with which Coll was
charged were committed under his di.
rection, but stated that he had nc
knowledge Of some Of then. Aside
from Bigelow's testimony, bank Off

outside cities and testified as to various
accounts with the Milwaukee bank

Cause Of Trouble.
For more than a year the labor lead
ers of France have been preparing for
a great movement, the main object Of
which is the securing Of an eight-hour
day for all the workingmen OF the re-
public.
Most Of the labor organizations Of
the country, having total member
ship of about 100000 men, gave their
approval to the proposed innovation.
Nearly every industry was represented
in the movement and 1T became appar-
ent a few weeks ago that unless the
employers granted the shorter work
ing day, many and serious strikes
would result. The situation was ag-
grayated by the bitterness of the
strike in the mining districts. This
! was for better pay and conditions. the
disaster at Courrieres giving point and
/
early part Of April the postmen OF
Paris struck for the eight-hour day
and an increase Of pay, as well as the
right to form union.
Employers thus far have been reluc.
tant to grant the demand for shorter
working day on the ground that ii
would make it impossible for them to
compete with the manufacturers OF
Britain, Germany and the United
States, and that many industries
would be ruined. They also asserted
that the movement was not backed by
the real workingmen of France, but
was inaugurated by anarchists and
agitators for purposes of their own
Politics, too, seems to have had a
hand in it, and it was for this rea.
son in particular that the government
interviewed and took extraordinary
precautions to prevent the carrying
out of revolutionary plots under cover
of labor troubles.

Mount Carmel, Pa, May AFTER

hotels refused to serve Lieut. Smith s
commando of state constabulary here
Monday, the troopers in front of the

A trooper was badly injured by a
blow from club. The crowd retreat
ed and prepared for another charge.
Lieut.. Smith drew up his men in bat
tie line and threatened to shoot if the
crowd tried to scatter his soldiers.
The chief burgess addressed the mob
and advised them to go home. The
burgess is a member of the union and
his speech had the effect of dispers-
ing the men, whereupon Smiths COM
mand moved on to the Lehigh COM
pany's sayre colliery, in the suburbs,
where nonunion men had been stoned
by foreigners.
Second Clash Occurs.
A second collision between the con-
stabulary and the mob occurred short
ly after noon, when man threw a
stone at the soldiers, who were drawn
up In front Of the residence of DR..

stones followed, and then Lieut.. Smith
ordered his men to shoot. AS the car
bines began to crack the crowd scat
tered In great terror. A man named
Wilson, who was in the crowd, fell
with three bullets in his body. He
will likely die. A number of other
men were wounded, but managed to
get to their homes. After several vol
leys had been fired Lieut.. Smith or
dered his men to fall back to the
Sayre colliery, from where he report
ed to headquarters at Pottsville the
news Of the fight.
Reinforcements to Be Sent.

and was notified that reinforcements
would at once be sent to him. Later
he was told to take his command back

lection to the operations If the work
men were further interfered with by
union men. During the shooting the
residence Of DR.. Keefer was riddled
