IHf WESTERN FEDERATION ANDlNDUSTRlAL WORKERS
The Sentiment oi the Convention Ap- parently Against the Latter Organ ization.

Denver. June 24.-Acting President Mahoney's report was up for discus sion before the Western Federation to- day This brought up the entire mat ter Of the position of the Federation toward the Industrial Workers Ma honey in his report, recommended that the Federation take no sides in the fight of the Industrial Workers. A majority of the committee to which the report was referred, recommended its adoption with the added recom- mendation that if the Federation does

not agree on the report, it shall with draw entirely from all connection with the Industrial Workers and organize new industrial federation with which the miners can unite. There was a minority report against that portion of the presidents report. referring to the Industrial Workers. After a long discussion as to the method of taking up the reports it was finally decided io take up the two reports seriatim.
 The convention reopened the matter of adopting a constitutional act taking from foremen. superintendents. shift bosses and leaders the right to seat or voice in local unions. A vote to re- fer the matter to the constitutional committee resulted in 2t3 for. and 135 against This will hold up action on the question until the convention de- cides whether local unions shall hold open sessions.
 The delegates devoted two hours to discussing strike breakers and 'scabs" The motion to adopt the following sec tion of Mahoney's report. furnished the excuse for bringing up the ques- ton: We would advise that probation members in good standing for a period of one year be thereafter given a clear card with full rights of membership in the Federation. and thus as fast as possible reduce the number of 'scabs' within our Jurisdiction"
 The final vote showed it to be the sentiment of the delegates that no time limit should be placed on the De- riod a probating card shall be carried by former scab" or strike break er.' before the bearer is entitled to q regular card. This does not commit the convention to an expression for or against the advisability of opening the Federation doors to men who in times of strike have taken the places of strikers. The debate on that point was heated
 The convention did not reach the point Of considering the Industrial Workers in the presidents report be- fore an adjournment was taken.

Indicted San FranCiSCanS
 Hunting a Way Out
A Hearing On Alleged De- fects In the Bills Against Them.

San Francisco, June 24.-Six corpo- ration and city officials under indict- ment for the crime of bribery-Presi- dent Calhoun, General Manager Null laliy, Chief Counsel Ford and Assist ant Counsel Abbott, of the\ United Railroads; Vice President Glass of the Pacific States Telephone company and Schmitz, through their attorneys, made a determined effort today to have Judge Lawler set aside the indict- ments against them on the grounds of technical error. After two sessions the hearing was adjourned until to- morrow when arguments will be pre- scented and authorities submitted.
 Among the more serious allegations of the defendants are these: That the official minutes of the superior court do not show that the present grand jury was sworn or that the previous grand jury was discharged; that the clerk of the court made invalidating errors in drawing the names from which the present grand jury was se- lected; that at least one of the many indictments returned was altered by the district attorneys office after 1t had been voted by the grand jury.
 Judge Lawlor ruled that the defec- tive court minutes could be corrected by an order from Judge Graham di- recting the erring clerk to insert the neglected entries.
 Schmitz' attorneys today withdrew from the district court of appeals his petition for admittance to bail through a writ of habeas corpus and gave the explanation that technical omissions in the document necessitated it's re- framing. IL was said that a new petition will be filed tomorrow.
 Ruef was called 10 answer to twen- weight of eighty odd indictments charging him with bribery of munic- ipal officials-fourteen in connection with the gas rate deal and fourteen in connection with the issuance of the United Railroads trolley franchise. Ruef through his attorney moved to set aside the indictments on grounds similar to those urged by the other defendants. The motion was set for hearing on Thursday before Judge Lawlor.
 Eugene De Sabla, John Martin and Frank Drum, officials of the San Y IinClScO bdS ana E@ltctTlC CoiHpd indicted jointly with Ruef and Schmitz. will be called to answer to- morrow.
 The grand jury met in special session today and began an investigation into the ambushing of an Eddy street car of the United Railroads last Saturday night near the chutes. when a squad of policemen and detectives. who were forewarned, foiled the party and ar rested three. One of the latter has turned states evidence and it is said that he confessed the details of a con spiracy which existed with the knOwl- edge of certain labor leaders interested in the present strike against the rail- road company.

STATEMENT BY
Mr.. BOHAPARTE
Attorney General Denies That
Work in His Department Is
Lax and ineffective.

Washington. May S-Attorney General
Bonaparte today gave out statement re-
ferring to the publication in a number of
newspapers this morning that he might
retire from office because of ill health.
1t was also published IN substance that
the department was at a low state of
efficiency in consequence of the attorney
generals inattention to the public bust
ness.
Mr.. BOnaparte's statement follows:
Insofar as the publications in question
reflect on me personally. l do not care to
say anything at all about them: but they
reflect by implication upon my subordi-
mates as well. since they aliege that the
work of the entire department is languid
and ineffective, and il is my duty as its
head to pronounce this statement as a
bald falsehood, originating either in mall
ice or else in gross and wilful ignorance
of the facts. The work of the department
increases every day and l do not believe
il has ever received more Jealous and
faithful attention than it receives now
from the officers and employees of the de-
partment, with the exception of course
CT the attorney general himself. l do
not. indeed. consider it any part of the
departments duty to furnish a liberal
daily supply of headlines for newspapers
and the department is not administered
with that laudable end i'm view. but for
this opinion and its practical application
no one is responsible or should be blamed
but my unworthy self

any one to enter or leave the plant who
looks like a workman. Those who Tues
day night tried to go in were pushed into
the pond at the side of the smelter and
ducked. The pond is shallow and no dan
ger results from the duckings.
There is a great deal Of bitter feeling
expressed toward the striking men at
Murray. for it is claimed that the records
of the pOstOffice at that place show that
over $4,000 is sent back to Europe every
month by the Greek. Italian and Austrian
Workmen employed at the smelter. These
workmen live on little or nothing.
1t is said the store from which they buy
their scanty food. purchases its stock from
Greek houses in Europe. so that very lit
tie of the money the men draw from the
company is spent in the valley OF in Muir
ray
Trouble is expected today at the plant Of
United States Smelling & Refining com
pany at Bingham Junction. where the
men have asked for a 25-cent day raise
from the company. 1t is understood the
company has not yet agreed 10 the de-
mand and petitions requesting the men
to strike if the increase is not fOrthcOm-
ing are reported to have been freely cir
culated among the employees OF the smell
ter. Today is pay day at the plant.

RELEASED FROM CUSTODY
Benjamin C. Wright of Denver Ac-
quilted ON Charge of Killing
Wife and Daughter.

Denver. May S-The trial of Benja-
min c. Wright. charged with the murder
of his wife and 5-year-old daughter. was
brought to an abrupt conclusion today
when, after hearing the testimony of Pro-
fessOr w. d. Engle. instructor of chem
istry at Denver university. counsel for
the state, at the request of the district
attorney announced that the case
against Wright would not be continued
and the jury, in accordance with instruc-
tons from the court. returned a verdict
acquitting the defendant.
Professor Ensie said that he had ex-
amined the viscera and other organs of
the woman and her child and testified
that carbon mOnOxide poisoning gener-
ated, he believed. by a gas heater, was
the cause of death.
The bodies OF Mrs. Wright and her
daughter were found in their home on
Feb. % last. Wright, himself apparently
unconscious, was taken from the house
by the authorities. and after being placed
in custody confessed to the chief of pO-
lice that he had committed the crime
However. he gave no reason FOR the dOu-
BILE murder. and persisted in the state
ment that he had no recollection of how
it was accomplished. This confession he
afterward reDudiated and it was not re-
ferred to at his trial.
The Wrights came to this city several
years ago from Benton Harbor, Mich.
