SPECIAL DISPATCH so THE CALL

CHICAGO, July 3o.-Written repu-
diation of w. R. HearSt's political va
carries by Samuel Gornpers, president
of the American federation of labor,
has come to Chicago in letter ad-
dressed to local labor leader and
personal friend of Goinpers. The let
ter has been turned over to the Chi
cago federation of labor to be filed
with documentary evidence concerning
the present political campaign. 1t
shows to what lengths Hearst has
gone to manufacture arguments for his
so called independence party
In the letter Gompers fatty denies
that he ever sent or caused to be sent
TO Hearst a cablegram urging him to
support W. ]. Bryans candidacy-a
fiction, according to Gompers, which
gave Hearst an opportunity of print
ing the imaginary message in his news
papers. to break out with a reply
full of noise and high purposes"
In this reply Gompers was denounced
as one not knowing the needs OF the
laboring class.
In his letter Gompers says I'm a
conversation. 1 made the remark that
the fundamental principles OF personal
rights and human liberties were in
volved in this campaign. and that those
who aimed to align themselves in con-
test for the reassertiop and re estah-
lishment OF these pJisg.irsses4 ought TO
cooperate for their absolute achieve
ment rather than play politics by so
called third party movement Out of
this evidently the story was made and
the message sent to Hearst. Men are
not necessarily earnest or sincere be-
cause they loudly proclaim that they
are TO be taken for what they really
endeavor to do"

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
CHICAGO. July 3o.-Charges that the
independence party convention was
packed" subject to boss rule by paid
employees of w. r. Hearst and that it's
campaign is being conducted in the In
terests of the republicans were made
today by Joseph T. Marshall of Platts-
mouth, the only independence delegate
firm Nebraska.
Marshall put his statement IN the
form of an affidavit. In it he alleges
that the platform as agreed upon by
the committee on resolutions, of which
he was a member. was mutilated and
matter rejected put back.
He says the only man who had the
platform after the committee completed
it was Clarence Shearn. His affidavit
concludes: Il have seen enough up to
this time to know that the convention
was packed and run by Walsh and
other men on Hearst's payroll All the
time I was in Chicago at this conven-
ton 1 heard nothing said derogatory
to Taft by any of Hearst's employees or
confidential men.
Il did, however, hear them on all oc-
casions heap abuse on Mr.. Bryan, and
this was continued until IL became sick
ening and disgusting. 1 heard the ex-
preston repeatedly made that we
can't win and don't hope to, but we will
beat Bryan
mo unbiased person after having
seen how the convention was run and
heard much of the talk could come to
any other conclusion than that the in
dependence party is being run and con-
Quoted in the interest of the republican

The most important piece OF 'evi%
dence tending to connect John CLAUDE
lanes and his brother. eeter. with ths
attempted assassination OF James L.
Gallagher was obtained yesterday, when
Peter Claudianes. guarded by two de-
tectives. went TO SausalitO and re-
vealed the cache where the EXPLOSIVES
had been stored There the detectives
found concealed in the high grass a
box containing 20 pounds OF dynamite.
The explosive was brought to this city
and will be retained as evidence.
Although the men who have been ir-
vestigating the Gallagher dynamiting
refused to discuss the matter. il ia
known that they consider yesterdays
developments the most important in ths
entire case. The discovery Of the dyna<
mite in the very spot indicated By
John Claudianes is regarded as posi-
tive corroboration OF the confession in
volving the two Claudianes brothers.
For some time District Attorney
Langdon has been quietly at work
gathering the necessary amount OF evil
dence to fasten the crime upon Peter
Claudianes. BY diplomacy he has led
John Claudianes 10 add bit by bit to
his confession until he secured such
information as would enable him 10
gather the -eOrrobOrative facts.
The prisoner at first showed an un-
willingness to tell where the dynamits
was Secreted, but yesterday he changed
his attitude and offered to conduct tha
district attorney to the spot. Langdon
detailed Detectives Con and MCGEE t0
accompany Claudianes to Sausaliro.
Pete kept IL right near his house
in a box" said John, as they neared
Sausalito. Then the prisoner walked
along the water front OF the little town
across the bay, and from there led his
guards about 100 feet toward the hill.
It's right in there" he said, and
after a brief search the box was found
hidden in the tall grass. When opened
20 pounds OF explosive were found.
1t was from Sausalito that the two
men operated. The dynamite was pur-
chased in Nevada and shipped down
to Sausalito. Peter did not keep II IN
his house. fearing that IL might ba
discovered there IN case suspicion
should be directed toward him before he
was able to get away. He kept ie
near at hand, however. and IL required
but a few moments for him TO take
out such quantities as he desired.
From the vast stock that the Claud.
lanes boys had provided for their work.
il is believed that they planned to
continue operations. but that the game
became too hot Johns departure was
evidently made so hurriedly that ha
did not stop to get rid OF the explosive
1t is understood that other corrobol
ratfve evidence is in the hands OF tha

nation Will be vOuchsafed at this

FUGITIVE TURKS
GRANTED AMNESTY
Snltan's Proclamation Affects
Nearly 100000 Residents
9: This Country

NEW YORK, July so-The sultan
of Turkey through the Turkish consul
general in this city, Munji Bey, today
proclaimed general amnesty to all po-
htical fugitives, regardless of race, in
this country. This relates to about
100000 Armenians and others in the

ernment is as follows:
Inform all fugitive Turkish citizens
in New York city and in all the United
States. including political fugitives.
without regard to race or nationality,
whether Greek, Armenian, Turkish, AL
banian, everything. that after promul-
cation Of constitution for the Turk
ish empire, his majesty, the sultan, upon
request of the government, has granted
general amnesty. and all political fugi-
tives may go back to Turkey after
having the necessary passports verified
at the Office of the Turkish consul gem
eral, SO Pearl street, New York city"
GREET READING WITH CHEERS
The reading of the announcement to
number of his countrymen by the
consul general was greeted with cheers.
Munji Bey said:
L regard this as the most important
step forward that has yet been taken
in so far as it relates to Turkish citizens
in the United States. There are some
100000 Turkish citizens in this coun-
try and more than 200 600 NJ tbesa 70
political fugitives, men who have often
longed to return to their old homes,
but have feared to do so. These men
may now go back to their country
without fear. The Armenian and the
Greek Turks. all natives OF one coun-
try, can now feel that they are well
come in the land Of their birth. This
is great day for Turkey and the Turk
ish people,
He further said:
The amnesty applies to political.
not criminal refugees. 1 am sure that
those who have offended politically and
have sought an asylum In this country
will now return and help in the work
of constructing united nation. Turkey
will now be as free as the United
States Shortly, if 1 mistake not. there
will be Turkish ambassador at Wash
ington. Our aim will be to maintain
the closest relations with the United
States. as. indeed. is natural, since the
conditions of citizens OF this country
will be our ideal for citizenship in
Turkey
The proclamation is made in good
faith and there will be no repetition
of the czars fiasco in regard to the
Russian duma Turkey will now take
its former place among the nations of
the world

 be mentally restored. He is the young man who was found a couple of weeks ago at the door of a lodging house. scantily attired and at the time seemingly intoxicated, though it later appears that he was not responsible for his conduct. He has been in the city jail since then, and though not wildly insane. it was not though best
 to restore his liberty. He bothers mo- body. but is inclined to wander away unless watched, apparently without knowledge of where he is going or
 what he is doing.

 body was taken in charge by Esterling

 they had not cared for him while alive and they probably would not care about him dead. It was learned. however. that one of the sisters at the
 hospital had gleaned from his deliri- ous talk that his name was Rand in stead of Richardson. Mir. Conner was well acquainted with him and before
 Rand died he asked him to write to
 George C. Rand and gave several ad- dresses. Yesterday he received an an-
 swer from the numerous communica- tiOns sent out. The letter came from
 Port Richmond. Long Island, New
