Imposed Upon in the Los Angeles
Cases-He Was visibly
Affected.

New York, Dec. 2--"I am astound
ed, | am astonished; my credulity has
been imposed upon. 1t is a bolt out of
a clear sky" These exelamations were
those of Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, when
advised last night of the pleas Of guilty
in the Mcnamara cases.
Mr.. Gompers, on his way from Wash
ington, was doing in Pullman car
on the Pennsylvania railroads Congress
sonal Limited when he was awakened
at New Jersey station by an Asso-
ciated Press representative. He retired
TO the rear of the car where there was
convenient light and read carefully
the accounts of the sensation develop
ments in the Los Angeles dynamiting
cases which were shown him.
The veteran labor leader was yisibIv
affected as he read of the tense scenes
in the court room at Los Angeles, where
the men in whose defense he had spoken
and worked so untiringly had admitted
their guilt. Tears came into his ewes
as the reading progressed and the hand
that held the typed pages shook. He
said nothing, however. until he had fin-
ished the story and then he broke forth
with his ordinations of astonishment
and indignation.
"If this is all true my credulity has
been imposed upon," he declared. II
am astounded at this news. We have
had the gravest assurances given to us
by everyone connected with the trial,
either directly or indirectly, that these
,,,er, ware innocaut
Mr.. Gompers asserted with the great
est emphasis that not the slightest in
timation of any such change in the
plans Of the defense of the MeNamaras
as had developed had been communieat-
Ell to him.

This statement was made to-day by

May Refund Contributions.


When the fund which had been raised
by the American Federation of Labor for
the defense of the men charged with
the Los Angeles crime was mentioned,
Mr.. Gompers said that to date the
fund amounted TO about 100000, which
had been turned over 10 the chief attor-
ney for the defense, and the collection
was still going on. He added that in
the light Of yesterdays developments it
was probable that the money would be
refunded.
Mr. Gompers' talk with newspaper
representatives on the train was inter-
spersed freely with repetitions Of his ejac-
ulations of surprise and impatience with
the manner in which imposition, he said,
had been practiced upon him. He bristled
up notably when shown the statement
of William j. Burns at Chicago
!. 81 don't wish to mention Burns" he
said decisiyely. He denied, however,
that he had ever charged Burns with
planting" the dynamite at Los Angeles,
as Burns had said in his statement As
hs made ready TO leave the train at the
Pennsylvania terminal in this city his
eyes were still filed with tears.
When the train reached the station,
Mr. Gompers sought the waiting room
and there continued his remarks.
I'VE have discouraged acts like these,
he said. "We are patriotic and peace
loving men and we have only a wish to
call out the best elements in human
nature. Those two men must have been
crazy. II is an act that condemn with
all the force that is in me"

INTERPRETED WITH WlRA.
Two Men Given Sixty Days For Tam
perina With Current.

Charles Rikka and Sam Rindola
both of Ripley, We're arragned last
evening before Justice G. O. olivier
charged with throwing a haywire over
transmission wire of the Houghton
County Electric Light company, not
only greatly impairing the service in
Ripley but affecting it also in other
parts of the district. The men were
arrested yesterday by Under Sheriff
Phil Sheridan on complaint of the
electric light company and on being
given a hearing before Justice olivier
last night were sentenced to sixty
days in the county Jail.
General Manager Gardner of the
Electric Light company says that in
reference with wires has been exper-
fenced for several years past, and that
numerous cases of this kind have oc-
cured, both here and at the north end
of the county. Those guilty Of the Of
Tense have hitherto escaped detection,
and having caught some of the per-
petrators it was decided TO make an
example of them I'm order to deter
others.
1t seems that 1t was considered fun
by those interfering with the wires.
TO see the electrical fireworks display
resulting from the hay wire being
thrown across the transmission wires.
In some instances this has resulted In
putting the public to great inconven-
fence by putting out the lights for sew
eral minutes at both ends of the line.
The practice is also a dangerous
one, says Mr.. Rogers, as it might re-
suit in drawing several wires together
and sending a dangerously strong cur
rent into houses. and by causing the
burning out of a service wire, the lat
ter might fall and cause someone To
receive serious shock of strong volt
age Efforts have been made by the
G. a. II. authorities to apprehend those
guilty of the practice there, while the
Houghton county traction company
has been conducting Investigations AT
this end, with the result that two men
have been arrested and punished IL Is
hoped that this will have the effect oil
Iutting a stop to the trouble and pre-
venting the further interruption oil the
