Exhorts His Hearers TO Cast on the
Yoke of Parties.

Chicago, May 3.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation OF
Labor, addressed 1900 men and women
in mass meeting today, exhorting his
hearers to cast on the yoke OF party
domination and to assert their political
Independence. He declared the intention
of the labor body TO seek the defeat OF
any candidate for public office who Is
not in sympathy with the aims of labor
ing men, not excepting the aspirant to
the highest office in the land"
The Sherman antitrust law must he
amended. he declared. and said that the
supreme court might as well order the
dissolution Of labor unions as to give
such a decision as they did in the case
of the United Hatters of America Re-
ferriug TO the Wilson bill he said that II
It was not passed it would be the fault
of the worisingmen. "If you show that
YOU are in earnest for it," he said tine
bin Will be passed so quickly It will
make you head swim

SEFRIT IS SUBPOEEAED
Man Who Claimed To Know Whole
Mystery Is Seen by L. S.
Marshal

Frank I. Sefrit, who inherited from
JOS, Lippman the place OF personal
manager of the interests of Thos.
Kearns in Utah public life. is to have
the opportunity he seemed to be seek
ing so hard a few weeks ago. to tell
the grand jury just who got the money
from the Utah National bank, and just
how deep a conspiracy had been
Matched to conceal the identity of the
thief.
U. S. Marshal William Spry succeed
ed in serving Mr.. Sefrit with sub
poena this morning and he will there
fore have a chance 10 tell his story
TO the jury. on April Z he declared
through the Kearns organ:
The Tribune is working against the
most formidable obstacles in its effort
to clear up the mystery and II is daily
adding to the proof of the guilt OF the
culprits, and OF the conspiracy to shield
them. The Pinkertons are thoroughly
discredited by President Mccormick in
his supplementary reward and in his
public and private utterances.
THE detectives have not tumbled TO
the local situation. Gifted though they
doubtless are in the work of uncovering
the crimes of the ordinary offenders
they have failed absolutely in cases
where experts are involved. These In
Utah are guilt edged and double breast
ed.
THE fault is not with the Pinker-
ton operatives. They simply cannot
get into their noodles that men who
hold the priesthood and who proclaim
the gospel from high places may be
stepped IN crime or may lie like pi-
rates, They may learn some day that
men of All organization that for 20
years shielded those who murdered
more than 100 defenseless emigrauts
will not find It a difficult task to aid
for a time in covering the theft OF
something more than 100000.
Clever as they were In the first in
stance, the crime was exposed. And
the facts Of the bank robbery will not
long remain a secret. The reason Is
that there are honest and fearless men
In the Church who will not longer stand
for the crime being concealed.
And those who have had possession
OF the stolen funds will not long with
stand the strain Of their guilty knowl-
edge. The story is gradually leaking
out. The end Is not far away
This attempt 10 read a political issue
into the case was made nearly month
ago and was the last of a series OF
threats that the paper had knowledge
of the guilty parties and had pledged
its word 10 bring them TO justice.
with q special dispatch from Mr. Sc
frit before his return 1t Is In marked
contrast since In this dispatch he COM
pletely abandons the ground taken In
making these threats and switches the
issue To other matters, So far his are
the only definite claims on record that
IL man who could unrayel the mystery
and lay the guilty before the bar OF
Justice WAS abroad IN the land
The grand jury did not assemble FOR
duty this morning but II is expected
that It win begin the taking OF testl-
mony this afternoon at . o'clock II
took a recess Friday to enable the
country members 10 return to their
homes and attend TO private business
matters
