OBJECTION TO MAIL CLERKS
UNION Is AIMED AT A. F. OF L.
Postoffiee otfieial Makes No Protest
Against Organization Among
Employees In Service.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Charg-
ing the American Federation of Labor
with planning TO aid the railway mail
clerks In circumventing presidential
order. Second Assistant Postmaster
General Stewart today abandoned his
former stand that the department op-
posed "All secret organizations among
it's employees and admitted that OBJ
jections TO the present plan OF the
clerks 10 organize were directed sole
ly against the Labor union" phase
The presidential order TO which
Stewart referred prohibits govern
ment employees from petitioning con-
gress in their own behalf, He charged
that the A. F. d l.. was trying TO
induce railway mail clerks TO organ
ize by promising to take their peti-
tons TO congress for them.
1t Is this inducement OF evasion
that has caused the department TO
take its present stand" said Stewart.
Evasion Is violation
The department cannot consent to
an alliance OF any OF its clerks with
the American Federation OF Labor.
We have no objection TO the organiza-
lions within the service and confined
solely TO the service" said Stewart.

up Miss Burdette, Schwegler's alleged
affinity" She refused TO repeat the
language Mrs. Schwegler used in up
braiding the woman, whom she ac-
cused OF being too friendly with her
husband
The story of dinner in the Wind
sor hotel in Mackinaw given by Mrs.
Schwegler when DR.. McMullin and a
number of other friends were present
was recited. The witness said that a
bartender friend of Mrs. Schwegler
who was employed in saloon near
the hotel, furnished the liquor for the
event. She said that the man came
10 the Schwegler store and that Mrs
Schwegler introduced her to him
When told that Mrs. Schwegler was
going TO give dinner, the man offer.
ed TO furnish the liquor. When asked
the nature of the liquor, Mrs.
Schmidt replied that.it- was beer She
said she did not ddnk any, but took
water instead, and that all presen'
laughed at her for taking 1t.
Mrs. Schmidt said that the barteS1.
er stopped in the store every time he
passed. She could not remember his
name. She denied that she had asked
Mrs. Schwegler TO introduce her TO
him.

she taking the name OF Miss Burdette,
which was her name before she was
married
Miss Burdette testified that she first
met Schwegler when he husband,
about nine years ago, took her into
his store to purchase Christmas
present for her.
Miss Burdette's former husband
had testified earlier in the trial that
he had seen Schwegler take his wife
TO the Temple theater. Miss Burdette
denied this. saying that Schwegler
had never taken her to the Tebple,
but that the man she was with the
night her husband saw her was Gus
sic Pelton, whose home is in Mt.
Clemens. She said she had been in
Mt. Clemens visiting Pelton's rela-
tives, and that he had returned TO De-
trntt with her a hi WnFk In "
here at the time. She said when she
saw her husband In the lobby OF the
theater, she went up to him and told
him that Pelton was taking her to
see the show.
Miss Burdette will continue her
testimony Thursday afternoon.

PLAGUE FIGHTERS
NEED MORE MONEY
Urgent Call Made For Funds to Care
For tuberculosis Patients
Without Means.

The fact that more than half or
the patients now being cared for in
the Detroit tuberculosis Sanatorium
are paying very small amounts to-
wards the cost OF their treatment, has
made serious inroads into the avail
able funds for the purpose, and Miss
Maude Van Syckle. secretary OF the
board OF directors OF the institution,
finds herself In the position OF being
compelled TO start out Immediately
in campaign Tor new members.
The membership fund Is devoted
10 the care Of patients who cannot
pay for themselves, and II has been
drawn upon lately TO the extent or
500 pei week. said Miss Van SICKLE
Thursday. Il want TO add 1000 new
members, just as quickly as possible.
Anyone may become a member Tor

fight against tuberculosis would SEND

DR.. Burt Shurly has secured $500
in subscriptions toward the estab-
lishment OF throat ROOM" In con-
nection with the hospital, where pa
tents, suffering from throat as well
as pulmonary tuberculosis may be
treated In the most modern and scien-
tifc manner. committee OF ten ply
sicians is working hard TO raise ST.
900 for an operating room. The fact
that the estimated cost of endowment
beds was placed at far too low fig
ure has proven a serious handicap
TO the sanatorium authorities, as
there Is large discrepancy between
the amount OF the pledges and the
actual running expense, which has
had TO be met from other funds.
The sanatorium has had many pitt
full cases come to It's doors. The most
recent is that OF young girl. IL
years old, without family or friends
who has been employed as house
maid but found that she could no
longer stand the strain upon her
strength. her health being seriously
undermined by the dread white
plague She applied to the asnatorium
committee for aid. and was advised
TO frst see II she could not get her
church people TO guarantee dollar
or two a week toward her care IN
the sanatorium. She made the EFFORT
without success. and, finally, return
ed to Miss Van SICKLE In utter hope

taken TO send her to the sanatorium
without regard to where the FUNDS
for her care were to come from, and

CHRISTIANITY BIC
ASSET FOR POOR
Humble and Unlearned Followers 81
Chrkt Better Of Than Wise Non
Christians, Says DR.. Lawrence.

An incident In the twelfth chapter
of ST. Luke was chosen by the Rev.
William NJ. Lawrence. for the theme
Of his talk In the MONDAY Lenten
service, In the Detroit opera house,
Thursday. This incident was the
story OF Jesus appearance In the
court OF the Gentiles when an embas-
sy was sent TO Him, Offering protec-
ton and an asylum outside OF Galilee.
Jesus was offered a refuge from
His enemies and a place OF honor
among would-be friends-a sore temp
tation," said DR.. Lawrence. But He
realized the difference between the In
fiuence of a teacher and that OF per.
sonality. He cried out In the an
guish of His soul. Father, glorify Thy
name, and rejected the opportunity
TO become a teacher for the privilege
OF being Savior.
IF men today thought only OF a
dead and not a living Christ there
would be no salvation from sin. IL Is
the thought OF the living. human, sym
pathetic Christ that Is drawing the
world to Him. And that there Is a
greater spirituality today IL given am
pie proof. Take the worldwide mis-
sionary movement OF the hour; the
difference in the philanthropy OF to-
day and 25 years ago; the difference
between the painting and the poetry
OF a quarter OF century ago, when the
appeal was entirely sensuous. as
against the spirituality OF today
Christ infuses the human with the
divine, and while we are drawn to
Him by His human attributes, We are
held closer and closer by His divinity
1t is better TO be poor and unlearnad
and able to grasp the message of
Christ than to be wise philosopher
with deaf ears
The Rev. F. T. Galpin. OF the First
Baptist church, presided and led In
prayer.
Following the service, pr. Lawrence
and number OF the city clergy were
guests at luncheon OF Mrs. John Wen
dell, No. l59 Fort-st. west. In whose
home DR.. Lawrence is staying while in
the city.

for Gillespie and Fitzgerald, and bring
them TO Jackson. The fourth war
rant that is out Is for the arrest OF
another ex-convict, whose name Is
not made public but who is believed
to be In Detroit.
The long-expected arrests In the
inquiry came last night with the ar
rest OF three men: Joseph Fitzgerald
and George Gillespie, In Detroit, and
James Murphy. now serving a SEN
tence In Jackson prison. Murphy was
sentenced from Detroit March 10,
1904. for 10 years for assault with
intent TO rob with dangerous weapons.
He would have been released on good
behavior Nov. Is, 1912. He served
two terms In the Detroit House OF
Correction, one al Ionia and one at
Lansing.
A number OF STICKS of dynamite,
fuses to set II off, reIolvers and cart
ridges and similar articles were found
secreted in different parts of the pris-
on and yard early in January. They
had been Struggled in and were TO be
used to effect a wholesale delivery or
prisoners. The prison officials believe
Murphy received the dynamite ana
ammunition while working as trus
ty on the evening OF Nov. 10, 1910.
The arrest of Fitzgerald and GILES.
pie means that the officers suspect
them OF bringing the dangerous weap.
ons to the prison.
When the grand jury was In SEES
sion here at the time OF the prison
graft scandal, Gillespie was called be-
fore that body as witness. ii was
suspected that an attempt had been
made to bride a member OF the par.
don board to secure parole for pris-
oner. The evidence showed that Gil
lespie had fallen heir TO $4,000 dur
ing his term in prison and at the time
OF his leaving the prison could &C
count for but $1,000 of It. When put
on the stand however he swore that
not one penny went for bribery.
Fitzgerald and Gillespie were taken
IN custody in Detroit. Wednesday af-
ternoon by Detectives Downey and
Fox. FITZGERALD was found in q
saloon on Grand RlveT-ave., and Git
lespie was arrested in saloon on
Elizabeth-st. and Woodward-ave. Both
men told the officers they were in
ignorance as TO the cause for their
arrest.
Fitzgerald has not served time IN
Michigan. but admitted that he had
spent two years in Columbus. o., Tor
a iob he pulled of In that state. Be
fore he left this section he had been
arrested six years ago on a charge OF
swindling a woman in a diamond dea!
by switching gems. He was brought
back to this city after a flight to
Cleveland, but he jumped his bail and
the case was allowed TO drop.
Gillespie was sentenced to Jackson
from Detroit in February, 1906, for
an indeterminate sentence OF from
one to fifteen years for breaking and
entering. He was released the follow.
ing year, but broke his parole and
was returned to prison. He was re.
leased finally In 1910.
