Railroad Telegraphers
Will Aid Strikers
Forty Thousand Men TO Refuse
to Handle Commercial
Messages

That the railroad telegraphers of the
United States had decided to take up
the cause OF the striking commercial
te4egraphers, and, at a date, already set,
would refuse to handle commercial
business, was the statement made last
night by W. ". McCandlish. acting
deputy national president of the .strik-
eres---anization. 1t was based upon a
telegram from Deputy National Presi-
dent Copps. delegate to the special con-
vention which convened in Milwaukee
yesterday to consider the situation and
devise means for continuation of the
struggle against the Western Union
and Postal telegraph companies and
the Associated Press.
News of the intention OF the railroad
telegraphers to aid in the strike move
ment is of tremendous import to the
commercial interests of the country.
These men, 10000 in number have re-
lieved the pressure upon the business
world resulting from the partial tieup
of the commercial telegraph companies
and enabled commerce to be carried on
unchecked. Should they refuse to han
die messages not pertaining to railroad
business the disastrous effect upon all
forms of traffic would be immediate.
Our advices from Milwaukee are
that the greatest enthusiasm prevails
among the men and the fight will be
carried to a finish" said McCandlish
last night. When cur railroad brethren
refuse to handle commercial messages
the tieup will be complete. Reports
from various parts of the country that
some of the local unions have called

Man Who Attorney Says Is

NEW YORK, oct. 24-The first con-.
viction in the cases based on the dis
closures in the legislative investigation

tanned by the district attorneys ONCE
here, when jury in the criminal
branch of the supreme court found DR..

dent OF the Mutual Life insurance com
pany, guilty of perjury in the third de-
gree. The verdict was accompanied
with a recommendation for mercy. The
maximum penalty for this degree OF
perjury is 10 years Imprisonment.
The specific charge was that DR.. Gill
lette had testified falsely before the
grand jury May "a, at which time he
was vice president of the Mutual, al
leging that when examined by District
Attorney Jerome he testified that cer-
tain moneys in the Dobbs Ferry bank
were his personal funds. and that un-
der cross examination he admitted the

McCandlish asserted that a conserva-
tive estimate of the loss suffered by
the Western Union by reason of the
strike placed it at 100000 day.
The company was unable to pay its
last dividend and its stock dropped Is

fault will put the stock below 5o.'

SAYS RANKS ARE SOLVENT

The only authentic information I
had received UP to this morning was
what I read in The Call. he said.
From my personal knowledge OF the
situation do not see how single de.
positor could lose cent. The banks are
solvent; the securities they hold are
ample. and it will require. only little
time to adjust the present trouble
President Hickey said that unceasing
labor troubles were mainly responsible
for the financial depression in Nevada
mining camps.
@As a result of these industrial dis
turbances." he said we noticed a
gradual withdrawal of funds by de-
positors. who, disgusted with the strife.
took their money TO other places.
Lessons of mining properties. unable
to prosecute their work, threw up their
leases and went away In two months
more than s2ooo.ooo was taken from
our banks by disappointed miners and
spectators who left the state because
of the Industrial unrest I went after
my cashiers and told them to collect
on notes. Then came a series of let
ters from clients who had notes with
US and who, If compelled to sell their
securities on a broken market, would
have been ruined financially. Then
came the break in stocks all over the
country, affecting collaterals of ali
varieties"

WANTs LoNGER HOLIDAY

Referring to the holiday which Gov
ernor John Sparks had declared in Ne
vada, Rickey said:
Tt was "a wise move, but the time
given is far too short Nothing can be
done in two days It would take fully
week to present Nevada's case in the
financial centers and / hope that Coy
ernor Sparks will extend the holiday
time that long.
The condition of the Nevada banks
which suspended payment was pro-
nounced by local bankers yesterday to
be good The policy pursued by Gov
ernor Sparks in declaring holiday of
two days was commended, on the
ground that time would thus be af-
forded to have the actual situation

TWO PROSECUTIONS
BEWILDER COURT
MAN WANTED IN PASADENA IS
CAUSE OF WORRY
p. J. Flynn, Convicted Of Running a
Blind Pig, Wanted In Pasadena
at the Same Hour He Is
Wanted Here

Maneuvers of contending attorneys re-
suited in keeping Judge Smiths court
waiting yesterday morning for the ap-
pearance of ?. j. Flynn on an application
for habease corpus. Neither the prisoner,
the prosecuting attorney nor the attor-
ney for the defense put IN an appearances.
The explanation of the affair leaked
out some time later. 1t seems that Dep
uty District Attorney McCormicn suc~
ceeded in convicting Flynn last week In
Judge Stephens court on charge of
selling liquor within a mile anC a half of
the Soldiers home. Attorneys Paul
Schenck and Chester Smith filed notice
for appeal of the case and asked the court
to set bail. This the court refused to do,
and Attorney Smith filed wri- of habeas
corpus to secure the release of the pris-
oner under bail.
When Attorney Mccormick examined
the writ he found it was retrrnable at
10 a. m. yesterday morning, the hour
when Flynn was due to appear in Pasa-
dena on another charge Of running a
blind pig, also being prosecuted by At
torney Mccormick. The district attorney
concluded the coincidence was trick to
worry him and Sunday, unknown to any
or , but the jailer, he ordered Flynn re-
leased. This left him free to so to Pas
adena and accounts for his failure to ap-
pear in court.
Notwithstanding his release, no bond
seems to have been fixed for Flynn and
he still has the status of prisoner out
on probation who may be sent back to
Jail at any time.
Flynn has been carefully watched since
his release In order to insure his appear
ance in the Pasadena court.
