come noted as a criminal lawyer. His

! Cape Cod one season. and a few years
| later was practiCing law. With the de-
mand for additional help in the Govern
! nlent departments at the beginning of
! the civil war, he came to Washington
! IN 1861. Ten years later he was chief
! clerk in the auditors Office of the War

B. & 0. Establishes
Free Labor Bureau

with a view of bringing the unem-
ployed or those desiring to better their
condition OF employment in direct touch
with the officials who hire railroad men.
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has established a free labor bur
eau and will have branches in Wash
inGton, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Chi
cago.
II. r. Bricker has been appointed head
OF the bureau with the little of labor
agent. Central offices have been estab-
lished in Baltimore for the purpose of
employing skilled and unskilled labor
for all grades of the railroad service.
The fact that railroads are frequently
confronted by a scarcity of labor at GER
noints on their lines, notwithstand-
ing the great army of unemployed in
the country, is the reason for the es-
tablishment Of the bureau.
1t is stated that the principle Of the
new bureau ia in no way identified with
the labor contract system, but that the
bureau will be operated solely for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
The labor agent is connected with the
maintenance of way department. al
though help will be furnished all other
branches of the service.

FOSD|CK UNEARTHS
NEW EVIDENCE FOR
NY. GRAFT PROBE
Startling Revelations Pre-
dicted and Plot Against
Whitman Involved.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2.-Graft revela-
tions 20 sensational as to be almost
unbelievable were declared certain to-
trict Attorney whitman and Attorney
Buckner by the aldermanic investiga-
tors Of every piece Of evidence amassed
by former Commissioner of Accounts
Fosdick. This evidence. carefully ar
ranged 80 that II can be presented to
Justice Con at once. dovetails into evil
dence already in District Attorney
Whitmans hands. Best of all, from
the prosecutors standpoint. however.
is the fact that involved are a number
of persons familiar with the plan to
discredit certain Of whitman's assist
ants by means Of false affidavits that
they accepted bribes to 20 easy on
white savers.
Whitman Is angry that this plot
leaked" and was prematurely pub
lished so that planned arrests of every
one concerned were prevented. With
plenty OF moral proof he has no legal
evidence to show how this plot was
worked out, but today admitted that he
hoped, as the result Of Fosdick's efforts,
to be able to force certain persons to
appear before Justice Goff in the John
Doe" proceedings scheduled for this
week and furnish the legal proof needed
for successful prosecutions.
The Fosdick proof Is declared SC
sweeping that 1t Will materially short
en- the John Doe" inquiry. The former
Commissioner Of accounts, who has
just given up his Job to go into bust
ness, had been working on a graft In
vestigation since last February. He
involved in the net score of high DO
lice officials above the rank of lieuten-
ant and. according to both his state
ment and that of Whitman, has the
goods" His evidence shows dates,
amounts and the identity of the payer
and payee and is so conclusive that
Whitman said today that 1t could be
presented to the grand jury at once.
whitman plans to summon before Jus.
tee Con every man mentioned by the
Burns detectives who was working vi
the plot to discredt his assistants BY
means of false affidavits and forct
them to tell what they know. He in,
tends to trace the fund raised for the
purpose and even though he does ir
that way grant immunity to some resort
proprietors, so far as that particular
item Is concerned, he believed he will
have enough against them on othel
transactions and will be able to get II
this case two police inspectors, one cap,
tain, three well-known politicians and
number of plain clothes men. What
he wants particularly Is evidence agains
a lawyer and former assemblyman, whC
Is alleged to have been the brains o.
the conspiracy. This man has a heavy
practice among the underworld Leaders
and Whitman admits that he Is anxious
TO have him disbarred.

knowledge of God. Gradually in the
progress OF his preaching and his work

the agency for winning the multitude.

own life nearly every nation of the
earth with the gospel message"
