mansnt Organization.

BURNS DENIES
PACKING JURIES
Detective, Attacked for Con-
neGtiOh with Land Fraud
Gases, Abuses AcCusers,

Mays Landing, N. J., Dec. 11.-William
]. Burns was attacked for his connec-
ton with the Northwestern land fraud
cases while testifying to-day at the
trial of the Atlantic City Councilmen
indicted for alleged bribery in connec-
ton with the proposed building Of a
million-dollar concrete boardwalk.
Burns lost his head completely and
denounced his accusers. and, finally,
driven seemingly to desperation, he ap-
pealed to the court to protect him from
further questioning at the hands Of
Lawyer Robert McCarter.
Following statements that he had been
the detective who worked up the land
fraud cases, Burns was asked by Mr.
Carter whether or not Willard n. Jones,
who was convicted in connection with
the case, had not afterward been granted
full pardon by the President OF the
United States at the recommendation OF
Attorney General Wickersham, and be-
cause 1t was shown the man had been
Indicted by a packed" grand jury and
convicted by a packed" petit jury.
Burns Cries Lie"
ITS a lie," shouted Burns.
What's a lie?'
That packed the juries. There are
pack of dirty dogs yspping at my heels
on the Coast, and that is where this
story of packed juries originated"
rs 1t not a fact that you were given
an opportunity of explaining and that
you failed to do so, along with Francis
J. Heney, the prosecutor"
That's a lie, too. The President was
fooled. the Attorney General was
fooled, and I was lied to. 1t was all
pack of lies"
Then everybody was fooled but your
Yes; no. 1t was just framed up
against me. l wrote letters to the De-
partment of Justice explaining"
Have you those letters?'
mo: the department of Justice has
them"
Then you did not pack the juries.
and Jones was guilty. and he should
not have been pardoned. and the Presi-
dent of the United States did wrong.
Is that it,"
Judge Sustalns Appeal.
Almost beside himself with anger.
Burns appealed to the court to have
McCarter stopped from further probing.
and Attorney General Wilson seconded
his objections. Justice Kalisch finally
ruled that no more questions along that
line could be asked.
BURNS testimony IN the bOdTuWAlh
graft was all relative TO what happened
after the trap had been sprung. He
stated that his operatives had turned the
case over to him after they had fin-
ished their work, and that he carried II
through to its final denouement.
Samuel S. Phoebus, James w. Lane
Gustave Kessler. and William Malta had
all confessed to him their part in the
bribery, he stated. All OF these men
have pleaded guilty. Harry Dougherty.
one OF the men on trial to-day, had re-
fused to make any statement. Burns
stated the other defendants. George Car
man. John Murtland. John Donnelly, and
Harry Mulock he had never interviewed.
All OF the men were members Of the
city council. and the last FIVE named
have protested their innocence and are
now on trial.
Edward Reed. a former Burns man.
was the only other witness heard during
the day. He recounted in detail the
plans for trapping the councilmen.

CHICAGO STRIKE MAY. BE PREVENTED

Chicago, Aug. 8.--The work of ar- ranging a new contract between the city railways company and it's union employees was begun today, in the hope that strike of 14,000 union street car employees would be averted. l.. A. Busby, president of the com pany. suggested that the question of wages be left until last, and if no agreement could be reached submit the question to arbitration.
 W. D. McMahon. international president of the union, said today that he doubted whether the rank and file of the unions would submit to an ar- bitration of the wage demands. The men will be sounded at mass meet ing of the unions Saturday night.
 An offer of assistance will be made to the warning sides in the wage dis pute by the Illinois State Board of Arbitration which held a meeting in the Congress Hotel today.

HILLES DOESN'T
 REGARD WILSON'S
 SPEECH RADICAL

New York, Aug. S.-National Chair man Hilles in charge of the Taft head quarters today issued the following statement:
 Professor Wilson's speech of ac- ceptance is an entertaining essay. its tone is surprisingly conservative ana throughout there is an avoidance or any positive program for the conduct of the Democratic campaign. The ex- pressed views of the candidate differ F so radically with those of MT. Bryan, the author of the platform, that the speech of acceptance would seem In effect to be a repudiation of that plat form and it's maker"
 Hilles said he would like to ask Gov. Wilson a few questions if the governor would consent to. consider them.
