Statement by Burns.

Detective Burns in statement said:
Ever since my arrest | have contend
ed there was no Justification In prose-
cutting me. Then | repeatedly asked FOR
a prompt trial, but this was denied by
the county authorities. At tho time ]
regarded 1t as attempt to hamper my
activities at Los Angeles. I am still
working on this dynamite conspiracy
and constantly turning up more evidence,
I am asserting everywhere that organized
labor will not be injured by the present
proceedings. for it will be a benefit to
labor TO have II purged Of corrupt po-
litioal leaders"
1t IS understood, IL any prosecutions
result from the present federal grand jury
investigation Of tho dynamite conspiracy,
they are TO be heard before Judge An
derson
About dozen witnesses some OF them
from Chicago, were before the grand jury
today, They included Alois Silverman
former keeper Of saloon In Chica go
where Ortle McManigal Is said TO have
met others in reference to places that
were to be blown up, Bert II. Morgan
and Arthur j. Fitzgerald. Chicago is
known to be one OF the places through
which dynamite and nitro glycerine were
carried in suit cases by the dynamiters
and at one time McManigal kept n store
OF explosives there for use on "1obs' In
Wisconsin, Missouri and Iowa.
Witnesses presumed to have informa-
ton as 70 the identity Of persons respon-
sible for explosions at open shop

Action Was Legal.

The court held that when Burns and
James Hosick. n detective OF Los An
geles, Cal, arrested Mcnamara on a
roqUsirion from the governor of Cali
Indiana, they acted legally under the fed
eral statutes. and any conflict in the
state law with the federal law which
made il possible 10 bring an Indictment,
was not constitutional. The federal con-
stitution and congress. the court said,
had delegated TO tho governors of the
states the power Of honorinc acquisitions
for fugtives from justice, and the In
diana Legislature had no legal right 10
take this power from the governor and
add il TO the duties OF q. county judge.
The indictments against Burns and Ho-
sick had alleged that Mcnamara was
denied n right TO resist cHtraditiou In a
county court.
Judge Anderson indicated that If Ho-
sick, who also was indicted. petitioned
for release II would be granted.

Power To Get Business.

MI. Carnegie gave the committee
several illustrations OF his power to get
business when he was inc the steel mar
kct.
why take rails. for instance" he con
iinued II had many close friends in the
railroad business. remember once the
Union Pacific asked for bids for 20 900
tons OF rails and the bids were 10 be
opened at Omaha. All my competitors
were ont there. I walked over to Sid
ney. Dillon OF The Union Pacific in New
York. | had done tho Union Pacific
iaEor once; got them a loan OF some
thing like 100000 in Philadelphia and
they elected me and George NJ. Pullman
directors
AZ told Dillon about tho bids and asked
him If the Carnegie rails were satisIu,-
tory. He said they were.
81 said, 4 want the Union Pacific
TO do business with me and I'll give YOU
the lowest price.
got the 1o,ooo-ton contract. Now what's
the use OF r corporation fighting against
such AN influence as that"
Another Example.
Mr., Carnegie also related how he had
given credit to Coils r. Huntington,
president of the Central Pacific, at a
time when Huntington, was hard up.
He was my friend" said Carnegie.
What chance had paid agent TO COM
pete under those condiuons2"
Mr.. Carnegie was questioned at length
about the price Of steel rails. the COM
mittce seeking to establish. il possible.
whether $2S n ton for rails was a. fair
or. unfair price, or the price for which
they have sold since the organization OF
the steel trust.
Representative Gardner (Massachu-
sctts) and Mr.. Carnegie had TIT. Mr.
Gardner becoming quite agitated and Mr.
Carnegie refusing To be clustered. After
q colloQuy the witness repeated his orig
inal contention. that he believed SOS a
ton reasonable charge for steel rails al
the present time. He added:
III there was a boom the price would
have been higher. ] Was in the business
OF making money and wanted the highest
prices l could set. If ! wanted to sell
for $50 and the consumer was satisfied
to buy AT that price, that wouldn't be un-
fair, would it,"

Emphatic Denial.

Attorneys for Conners asked Parks il
he had not become angry at Joseph
Timmons and other labor officials for
dischareing him because while in charge
OF the strike roll he had adder many fic-
tltious names and pocketed tho pro-
cceds.''
Parks made an emphatic denial adding
that he had not been discharged.
The day was full OF encounters between
opposing counsel at one time the jury
being excused for nearly an hour while
the attorneys argued as to the admlssl-
hiity OF some OF Parks's statements as
evidence.
The case will not be concluded for sew
