NORTH DAKOTA'S TESTS
PROVE SATISFACTORY
Big DreadnOught Now Ready to be
Delivered TO the Government.

Boston, Nov. 9.--"Her performance
was satisfactory in every particular,
said II. G Smith, general manager OF
the Fore River Shipbuilding company
in speaking of the officiai .rials OF
the American navy's new Dread
nought the North Dakota.
The vessel had anchored in Pres-
dent Roads today after her final "a
hour trial run at 10 knots which was
made chiefly to test her coal and wa
ter consumption.
From President Roads she North
Dakota will return to the Fore River
Yards to receive her final touches be-
fore being delivered to the govern
ment.
The battleship during the final test,
consumed 295 tons of coal, or twen.y
tons less than the amount required on
a similar run by the Delaware the
only other vessel of her class in the
American navy
The official figures on the North
Dakota's IL knot run of "a hours
shows q coal consumption of 10 tons
and $500 brake horse power while the
water rate on the turbines was 2O.5
pounds and for all purposes 22.3

one man, regardless of who he may be
or what position he may hold: on the
contrary, we hold that citizen
charged with violation of an mjunc-
tion, the penalty of which involves
Imprisonment, should have the same
legal right to trial by jury that is
always accorded to person charged
with violation of the criminal law. To
deny the right of trial by jury Is to
take. from the people the protection

e. red by them after centuries of per-
severance, struggle. sacrifice, exile
and even martyrdom.
what difference of opinion may
exist among men as to any contro-
versy between labor and capital, no
good citizen of our country who treas
ures freedom can rest secure until
trial by jury becomes so well recog-
niaed and so firmly established in our
legal jurisprudence that no man will
ever again attempt to deny this essen
tial and historic right. No class has
suffered SO much from the tyranny OF
autocratic power as the working peo-
pie; none struggled more heroically
than they to secure the blessings of
true liberty, free government, free
speech, free press and trial by Jury.
and it now devolves upon the wage
earners to protect, defend and main
tain this priceless peace of equity and
justice"
The council also recommended that
organized labor take appropriate ac-
tion looking toward the naming of
suitable citizens 10 fill vacancies that

Toronto, Ont, Nov. e.-If President
Samuel Gompers, Vice President John
Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morri-
son of the American Federation of
Labor, eventually have to serve Jail
sentences for contempt of court, ii Will
not be due to lack of support from
trades unionism. The executive coun-
ell of the federation recommended to
the annual convention today that an
appeal be taken to the supreme court
of the United States both in the Buck
stove and Range company's Injunction
case and in the contempt proceedings
growing out of II.
That the convention will ratify the
recommendation seems certain and
that the three labor leaders and their
fellow officers will be reelected for
another year is predicted.
vigorous denunciation of the use
of labor iniunctions and the denial of
trial by jury was embodied in the
councils report today. The report
says:
at should be borne in mind that
in these proceedings Messrs. Com
pers Mitchell and Morrison did not
have the constitutional right of trial
by jury. All the circumstances in this
case go to prove that conviction would
not have followed if the case had been
submitted on its merits to jury of
their peers. We hold that, excepting
where the contempt is in the pres
cnce of the court. the liberty of no
citizen should be jeopardized by any

Cinclnanti, Nov 9.-The alleged
blackmailers of Charles l.. Warriner,
railroad, accused of embezzlng $643,
000, will be dealt with by the state
authorities. County Prosecutor Hunt
stated today that he has investigated
the charges made by Warriner against
a man and a woman and that he would
proceed against them if her were able
to collect sufficient evidence.
In the meantime apparently well
founded reports maintain that the
Warriner defalcations are far in ex-
cess of the sum mentioned by Vice
President Harris of the New York
Central, and that they may exceed one
million dollars and may possibly reach
two million dollars. These reports
are supported by the fact that the
railroad officials caused WARMERS
arrest on charge of embezziing
S54 900, and, when pressed later, ad-
mitted that the amount would be at
least 100000. When that sum was
raised to more than half million
dollars speculation became rife and it
Is practically assured now that the
total embezzlement will reach rec
ord breaking figure.
Whatever may be the culpa bility OF
persons connected with Warriner, it
appears that as Far as the railroad Of
ficials are concerned they have no in
tention of proceeding against anyone
but the defaultng treasurer. General
Counsel Hackney declared he was in
possession OF no facts that would au-
thorize his prosecution Of anyone save
Warriner.
Il believe Mr. WARMERS state
ment." said the attorney. that he
has been blackmailed, but we have
only his word for it and we cannot act
on that. That Is for the state author
tiles to do if they choose"
The facts have been given to Pros
ecutor Hunt ana will be brought be-
fore the grand jury. According to Mr..
Hunt there is perfect case against
both Warrincr and the man, who it is
claimed, was the chief participant in
the profits Of the cmbczzlement. AS
concerned, both Mr. Hackney and Mr..
Hunt insist that they as yet have no
evidence to incrminate them.
The facts as divulged by Mariners
confession are still unknown. The
railroad officials have so far refused
to make them public, but Mr. War
riner's attorneys declared today that
on their part they had no objection to
the document being given out.
The amazement expressed on every
hand that one man. unaided, could
iuegle the accounts of a great corpo-
ration for so long a time without de-
lection was partly met today by
statement from a high railroad official
of the Big Four that an entirely new
system of conducting the finances is
TO be inaugurated.
