Statement by II. w. Pohlman.

II. w. Pohlman business agent Of the
iron workers of Seattle. said: II believe
that part OF the grand jurys investiga-
ton was conducted in good faith, but that
the indictments were returned merely to
Justify the investigation. A public insti-
tuition was used TO gain private informa-
tion. There is not a shred of evidence.
The men indicted We're backed up not
only by the labor people OF California
but of the whO,e country Their honesty
and integrity are too we'll known for the
confidence felt in them by the labor union
people to be shaken by the indict-
ments.
The present investigation was begun
two DAYS after the Mcnamara brothers
were sentenced. Since then the grand jury
has examined a large number of witness
es many Of them important in union
labor circles Nearly all Of these except
Paul A. Scharenberg of San Francisco,
secretary of the State Federation Of
Labor. have been excused. Scharenberg
st is said, will be called as a witness

OF course he may have wanted it for drink, or
he may have more money than have, but what

rather help ten men who didn't deserve it, than

| think the quandary in which this n an found

there is anyone who gees about much, but has Oft
en- been asked for money to buy food with, and has
wondered, as he gave it. if it would really be used
for that purpose.
Wherefore want to tell you Of the manwho-
thinks solution Of this quandary.
From the Salvation Army in the city in.which
he lives, he procured number of tickets, some
good for full meal and some for night lodging
at the Army's headquarters. When anyone asks
him for money, for food or lodging, he gives him
one of these tickets 1.-THE suppiant is really hun
cry he presents the ticket and receives the meal
or lodging. At the end Of each month"; the man
who-thinks settles with the Salvation Army for all
the tickets marked with his especial number which
have been presented.
In this way, he is sure of never turning away
anyone who really wants food, and at the same
time of not giving money to professional beggars
Doesn't the man-who-thinks way appeal to
you as rather clever solution of the difficulty?

Booker T. Washington, the negro edu-
Gator outside of Ulrich's premises
at liz West 63rd street, was acqult
ted by the justices of the court OF
special sessions, Justices Moss and
Zeller voting for acquittal and Jus.
tice O'Keefe dissenting.
Immediately thereafter he was ar
rested again on the charge Of being a
fugitive from justice, preferred by the
police authorities Of Orange, N. j.
where the Essex grand jury in its
April term found an indictment
against Ulrich for the abandonment
OF his wife.
Because of confusion in seeking
proper judicial authority for the

Ulrich's counsel could not find su.
preme court justice until it was too
late and in default of securing bail
Ulrich had to go to the Tombs.
Booker T. Washington left the court

on Ulrich's case had been rendered
without comment.
