SHIFTED.
Lewis Lawyers Claim Character OF
Evidence Was Changed.

st. Louis, Nov. 12.-The character OF
evidence introduced by the govern
ment at the trial Of E. G. Lewis, under
indictment for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes, in the United
States district court, was changed, &C.
cording to attorneys for the defendant.
The government is now relying,
they assert, upon the question of the
transfer of bank stock for trustees
notes to prove the charges. Counsel
for the government declare no change
has been made, and that they have al
ways relied upon this character of tes-
timony to substantiate the informa-
ton against Lewis. The particular
class Of evidence, they say, has not
been brought out sooner for obvious
reasons, the object of which they did
not care to state at this time.

international Spies Arrested.

Toulon, Nov. 11.-F1ve of the ring
leaders Of what appear to be a most
important association of international
spies were arrested here Sunday by
special detectives. The authorities
also got a mass of papers and a
cursory explanation of these docu-
ments leads to the belief that the
gang for a long time past has been
tary and naval secrets. The local OFF,
Gals consider the arrest SO important
that they have communicated with
Premier Clemenceau.

SIGNED BY BUSSE
GRANTS CHICAGO TELEPHONE
CO. 22-YEAR FRANCHISE.
MANY PROTESTS MADE AGAINST IT
Mayor Contends That Ordinance Is
One of the Most Complete Ever
Adopted by the City.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-By affixing his
signature Monday night, Mayor Busse
made effective an ordinance passed by
the city council last friday, granting
to the Chicago Telephone Co. an ex-
tension of its franchise until Jan. 8,
1929, and put an end to negotiations
between the company and the city,
which began Dec. IS, 1905, and which
have continued since hat date.
The ordinance requires the tele-
phone company to pay the city 3 per
cent of the gross receipts from local
business and to allow a discount of 20
per cent from current rates on tele-
phones for municipal use. Rates to
subscribers are readjusted and mate
rally reduced. The city reserves the
right to terminate the grant and to
purchase the lines upon II months
notice in 1919 or in 1924 on the basis
of payment to the telephone company
for only such tangible property as
might be necessary for the continuance
of the telephone business.
Lively plOlCOtS ~ Wy aLu oAAhh
cial clubs and organizations followed
the action of the council in passing
the ordinance. Special meetings With
in the organizations and a mass meet
ing at which all were represented
were held and resolutions asking that
the mayor exercise his power to veto
were drawn up and presented.
Claim Rates Are Excessive.
The chief objections cited were that
the rates provided for in the new
measure were excessive and the terms
of possible purchase by the city I'M
just; alleged undue haste in passing
the ordinance; failure to sufficiently
investigate the claims to considera-
ton Of a rival company and the alb
sence of provisions compelling cOnnec-
tons with Independent companies.
The mayor, in announcing his ap-
prevail, said:
This ordinance was under cOnSid-
Grafton by the council committee for
nearly two years. That committee
had the assistance of a commission Of
experts appointed under a previous ad-
ministration, the results of whose in
vestigation, research and reflection
are a matter of public record.
Abundant opportunity to be heard
was afforded every n who had any
thing to suggest to the committee in
connection with the framing Of the
ordinance. Viewed from every pos
sible standpoint, save only the ques-
ton of rates, the ordinance as passed
by the council is one of the most COM
plete that has ever been adopted in
this city for the regulation and con-
troll of a public service corporation.
LAS to the question Of rates, it can
not now be definitely told whether
they are too high. That problem is
essentially a legislative one If it
shall be determined in the future that
the rates are too high, abundant au-
thority is reserved By the terms of the
ordinance for their future regulation

below, and was out shortly after 2

his sub-confessiOn. Attorney Darrow

amined by MI. DarrOw relative to the
way in which the confession was OBJ

Il told Adams" he said, that he
would better make a clean breast OF
the whole affair, as he would feel
much better and it was a debt that he
owed the state and to law and order;
that he was a tool and he admitted it.
| used the Bible stories of David and
| st. Paul as Illustration of what bene-
flied a mar when he repented of a
crime, and that he might be re-
deemed"
by whom" asked Mr.. barrow.
"By God, of course" said Mozart
land.
You did not tell him that you would
forgive him and that you would save
his soul?" asked the lawyer.
81 have not the power of absolu'
tion," replied Mcfarland.
did you make Adams any prom,
ises?"
Il told him that | believed the state
would be fair; l told him Of Jerry the
Bum; of Mollie Mcguire, who was no
prosecuted when he turned states evil
dence after having had a hand in the
killing of Daniel w. Ray"

GOMPERSFORPEAC
BELIEVES INDUSTRIAL PEACE Is
ESSENTIAL TO PROGRESS.
A. +. OF |. SESSION AT JAMESTOWN
Mr.. Gompcrs Responds to Address OF
Governor Swanson OF
Virginia.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 1.-THE first ses-
sion of the American Federation OF
Labor, which began. it's twenty-seventh
annual convention at the jamestown
Exposition Monday, was devoted to
speechmaking and the reading of re-
ports. When adjournment came, Pres
ident Gompers, Secretary Morrison
and Treasurer Lennon submitted their
reports and a partial report of the
credentials committee had been heard.
In response to the addresses Of well
come by Governor Swanson and Ex-
position President Tucker, Mr.. Comp
ers paid a tribute to Virginia n to
the exposition, holding out the fact
that his first exposition of this kind
WIS built entirely by organized labor.
He confined his remarks chiefly to
general matters, but toward the end
came down to labor principles, and
said:
Il know of no organization that
makes so little pretense of patriotism,
but in which true patriotism prevails
to such a large extent as in organized
labor. We want peace; we owe peace
and are working for peace, and in the
proportion our working people are bet
ter organized We will secure peace.
There IS a man chosen to boss the job
of taking the Atlantic fleet to the Pa
cific ocean of whom / wish to speak.
That is fighting Bob Evans, who said
In connection with transferring the
fleet:
Il don't know what may be the re-
suit of this cruise. l have only one
| mission and hat is to see that the
| fleet goes to the Pacific coast, and
| whether it was to be for fun or frOlic
or a fight, we will be there"
1t is to that l want to refer and
make the application to the labor
movement. If it is to be peace, If it is
to be fun, or If it is to be a fight,
We'll all be there.
Labor Insists OF Its Rights.
81 don't think there is any man who
loves peace more than | do. l believe
that industrial peace is essential to
our progress, almost as essential as air
and lungs to breathing animals, but
the time is past when the ~possessors
of wealth, the employers of labor who
consider themselves masters, can look
down upon the laboring man who
stoops with bent shoulders and &C
cepts the orders of the master.
Labor today stands erect, looking
the whole world in the face, insisting
upon equal treatment, equal oppor'
tunity and resenting any attempt at
Injustice or wrong"
Fully 500 members and delegates at
tended the opening session. Many
men prominent in organized labor had
seats on the stage, as did Governor
Claude A. Swanson of Virginia. Hon
H. st. George Tucker, Director Gen
eral Martin and other officials of the
exposition company.
Governor Swanson was frequently
interrupted by hearty applause. A
feature of the session was the pres
entation to Mr.. Gompers by H. S. Scott
of the Central Labor Union of NorfOlk
with a gavel of oak.
