G0MPERS DEF|ES BURNS
TO CAUSE HIS ARREST
Willing to Make Affidavit That
He Was Ignorant of Nc
Namaras' Guilt.

BURNS is fool" was the reply made
by President Gompers today to the
charges credited to the detective in dis
patches from New York. in which he Is
quoted as saying that Gompers hoped
Burns would be assassinated. and that
the American Federation of Labor is
gangridden and graftridden.
The absurdity of his statement that l
wanted to get some crank to shoot him
is only too apparent when 1t Is considered
how repugnant to me the taking of life
or the commission of violence of any sort
Is has been 80 clearly proven by my life
actions and words. The man is simply
fool He refterates, day after day, these
charges attributing nearly all the crimes
in the calendar to me. What can / do to
defend myself against such accusations as
these? What am l to do?' he repeated
The man is yoluble. He has lot to say
and says it often. If he really has proof
of any charges against me, why ooes he
not file the charges and take recourse TO
law. / repeat, the man is simply a fool.
Ready to Make Affidavit.
The declaration contained in the signed
statement of the committee that the first
knowledge or intimation of the guilt OF
the McNaInaras was conveyed by their
confessions in the press was further
strengthened by President Gompers
statement that III it becomes necessary
can and will swear to the truth OF
every assertion in that statement. II
necessary, / will swear in an aIndavlt
that l had no knowledge OF the guilt of
the McNamaras until their confession
was made pubic.
MIR. GoIapers denied there had been any
clash" between himself and Frank Nj.
Ryan, head of the structural iron
workers. He explained Mr.. Ryan's alb
sence from the committee meeting was
due to urgent business requiring that he
proceed at once to Indianapolis MIR.
Gompers said, however, that although
Mr.. Ryan was unable to sign the stale
ment, not having been in town at the
time it was prepared, he is confident MIR.
Ryan is in hearty accord with everything
contained in it, and would have affixed
his signature had he been here to do 1t.
Not Taken Seriously.
Representative Frank Buchanan of ILL
nois, former president of the Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers' Union, whose
name was linked with the Mcnamara
case in an interview attributed to Detec-
tive William ]. Burns. declared today that
he does not consider the imputations
against him serious ones. Burns was
quoted as saying that Buchanan could
shed light" on the dynamiting conspir-
acy charged against union laior.
Il ceased to be president of the union
six years ago, long before these dynamit-
ing outrageS occurred, said he, and l
have had personal differences with the
present administration of the union since
that time 1 was deceived by j. j. Nc
Namara, in whom had confidence when
was president"

Members of House Judiciary
Committee Denounce Pub
|ished Story of Discord.

The House judiciary committee, at its
meeting this morning. passed a reso-
luton demanding that local news
paper publish q retraction OF the state
ment printed this morning that two
members of the committee. Represent
atives Moon Of Pennsylvania and
Thomas of Kentucky, had almost come
to blows as result of a disagree
ment over the Clayton indirect con-
tempt bill, upon which hearings are
being held. The committee collectively
and Representatives Moon and Thomas
individually branded the story as alb
solutely untrue.
Alleges Injustice.
Immediately after the converting Of the
House Mr.. Moon rose to a question of
personal privilege and characterized the
publication as entirely false.
"An injustice has been done to Messrs
Moon and Thomas as members Of the
committee. as we'll as to the committee
ITSELF" said Chairman Clayton Of the
judiciary committee after reading the
story OF the alleged row. l assume this
newspaper was mtStnformed and assume
further that as newspaper of reputation
statement.
The reason I think the committee
should take notice of this story is that it
is unjust, and II such publications go I'M
challenged 1t might tend to bring a COM
mittee of Congress into disrepute. Such
q story reflects upon the committee as a
whole. The man who wrote this article
could not have been present at our meet
ing yesterday, else he could not have pub
lished a statement made out of whole
cloth. The story Is wholly erroneous and
there is not bit Of truth in it."
Statement by Mr.. Moon.
After the meeting of the committee,
when 1t was decided to demand a retrac-
ton of the story, and when Mr.. Moon
was authorized to call the matter to the
attention of the House. Mr. Moon said:
Il never saw Mr.. Thomas after our
meeting yesterday. The word anarchist
wasn't used during or after the hearing.
The relations between Mr.. Thomas and
myself were absolutely cordial. and dur
ing the hearings in the interchange of
views on the contempt bill. Mr.. Thomas
was profuse in his statements of con-
tidence in my judgment.
Il came to Washington like all of you.
to make a reputation. do not want it to
go to the country that 1 am handling leg
islative matters by attempting to fight.
The entire story is without word of
truth. as will be testified to by every
member Of the committee"
In the publication in question Mr.. Moon
was quoted as having called Mr. Thomas
an anarchist and Mr.. Thomas with hav-
ing retorted that Mr.. Moon might be a
gentleman II he weren't q republican.
Then. the story went on to say. fisticuffs
almost occurred.
Immediately after the converting of the
House Mr.. Moon secured the floor on a
question OF personal privilege aud made

go We reaff1rm our belief in the su-
