STICKS MAY FALL
 HEIR 10 FORTUNE
Inquiry From Old Mexico to Sheriff Brewster Gets Results and To. cal Citizens are Interested in
 Estate to Be Dis !ribnted.

As 3 result of a>--9etter a received from Prof. A. c. Schaezler, of Parai- so, Tabasco, Mexico, who recently ad- dressed an inquiry to Sheriff Edgar Brewster, asking if anyone in this city knew anything of the heirs of the late Simon T. Steck, who lived in this county in 1889, when last heard from. Jacob H. Steck and his son. John H. Steck, of this city. may fall heir to large sum of money that has been left them in Old Mexico by their relatives.
 Upon receipt of the letter Sheriff Brewster immediately referred 1t to John H. Steck, the we'll known local timer, who informed him that Simon T. Steck was a brother of his fath- CT, Jacob steck, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of this city. He said Simon T. Steck came from Westmoreland county Pennsylvania, and at one time lived in this city. Sheriff Brewster has advised Professor Schneider of the 10. cal citizens and MT. Steck and his son have also written to him.
 The tone of Prof. Schaezler's l t. ter indicates that there is large sum of money to be distributed among the Steck heirs and he is exceedingly anx- ions to hear from them.

TO kGET MEN DEPARTMEST OF JUSTICE HAS EVIDENCE IN THEIR OWN
 HASDWRITFNG.
ARE TO PUNISH ALL
First Indictments Will Be Returned at Indianapolis Against La-
 bor Leaders.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Noi only are the names of the men higher up in the dynamite conspiracy ring in the possession of the Depal tment of Jus tice, but it has evidence in their own handwriting connecting them directly with the McNamaras The statement was made here today by an official who had seen the evidence 1t can be stated further on the same autti- orfty that several prominent labor of- ficlals have made advances to the De- partment of Justice for the purpose of securing immuifity. So far mono . Of their offers have been accepted. 5 The police of the department will be to avoid the granting of immunity baths and punish every man who has been caught in nationwide drag net.
 Beyond doubt indictments will h4 returned at Indianapolis against I large number of men prominent in the councils of the Bridge and Structur- al Iron Workers Association, of which organization John ]. McNam- ara was secretary
 This organization has local affilia- tfons in many cities. A number of officials of these locals have been implicated in the conspiracy and their indictment will follow.
 So far no evidence has developed to directly connect any leading off. cials of the American Federation of Labor with the conspiracies. It is confidently expected that the Depart- ment of Justice will produce evidence in the grand jury hearings which will establish the moral if not the legal certainty that high officials of the Federation of Labor knew of the or ganized dynamiting conspiracies.
 It is not charged that organized la- Dor as a whole is involved in the con- spiracies, but the Department alleges that certain leaders deliberately adopted dynamite methods to gain their ends Every one of these men will be brought to trdal in the Federal court
 The first indictments will be re- turned at Indianapolis where the Federal grand jury is now taking tes- timony. Assistant Attorney General William R. Harr. who is in charge of the dynamite cases in Washington, had conference today with James A. Emery, general counsel for the National Association of Manufactur- CTS, tracing the manufacture of bombs used by the conspirators. The Manufacturers Avociation together with the Erectors' Association has been furnishing the Department ofj justice with data covering the series of explosions throughout the country during recent years The origin of the "arson," combination of clock- work and inflammabTe chemicals us- ed to set incendiary fires is being

The attorneys claim that the recent enactment of the Legislatur. changing the time of the Desiha court and the empanelling of the grand jury had not become effective at the time the Rhea case was considered
 Should the Supreme Court sustain the contentious of the Rhea counsel the proceedings will be null and voll and another grand jury would haze fo consider the ease and, if it deems it proper, another indictment return ed. If the motion is overruled in the higher court the motion for new trial here will be pushed
 In passing sentence on Rhea, who has been in the county jail here fo.' month, Judge Glace said: "It is an painful duty, and one that l wish there was some way to avoid, but it is a duty imposed by the office hold and it is therefore necessary to sentence you to death" Previous to the statement of the jurst Rhea was asked if he had any reason to give why the sentence should not be i'm C ed.
