An editorial in Saturdays issue Of
the student daily regarding the recall
ed grand jury to Investigate the re-
cent riot gave rise TO the action. The
judge took umbrage at this statement:

before such tribunal"

the student body. already exercised
over the investigation by the grand
jury Of the student riot which culmin-
ated In an attack on the Walker opera
house and the injury of several per-
sons. The jury is also investigating
the alleged Illegal voting by students

Judge Philbrick, himself an alumnus
Of the university, declares the city and
university authorities have demonstra-
ted their incapacity to deal with stu
dent outbreaks. and that it is time for
him to take a hand.

SPAIN MOURNING
PREMIER'S DEATH

Madrid, Nov. 13.-The body OF as
sassinated Premier Canalejas lay in
state today in a temporary chapel in
the chamber of deputies. A vast
crowd gathered to pay last respects.
The population of the capital appears
deeply impressed by the crime. Work
is almost entirely suspended and
nearly every business house is closed,
while most of the houses in the resi-
Dental section are draped in mourn
ing.
The assassin, Manuel Pardinas,
who failed in his attempt at suicide,
is a man of distinguished appearance.

scripts. One, in cipher. had inscribed
On the outer sheet international con-
fiagration." Another was a thesis on
the anatomy of the human stomach" :"
Pardinas was expelled from Buenos-
Aires last March on account of parti-
cipation in anarchistic agitations. He
travelled in various cities in Europe.

ASSAILED
IN LAROR REPORT

Rochester, n. Y, Nov. 13.-The sec
ond days session Of the convention OF
the American Federation of Labor was
occupied almost entirely with the
reading Of the report of the executive
council In it William J. Burns was
arraigned as an example OF his own
Characterization of private detectives,
and the investigation of the federation
since the Mcnamara trial was declar-
ed to be a concerted attempt to de-
stroy the federation and bring its Off
GERS into disrepute. More than an hour
in the afternoon session was occupied
with the section dealing with the
Mcnamara case and Detective Burns.
Other parts of the report recon-
mended that the convention take meas
ures TO aid in the movement to abol-
ish home work and referred to the
conservation of natural resources as a
measure in which labor is vitally in
terested and should participate.
Part of the report dealt with the
Boy Scout movement. The report re-
viewed attempts by leaders of the
scouts TO eliminate the features that
were Objectionable to labor and recon-
mended that the convention this year
refrain from denouncing the move
ment.
OF the McNamaras the report said l.:
The Mcnamara offense was a so
cial crime. Thinking people. who were
made TO realize the poisonous, mias,
mic influences corrupting the atmo-
sphere OF industrial life. were we'll
nigh overwhelmed by the weight OF
collective responsibility devolving up
on them as a result of the existence
of such conditions. The McNamaras
were either criminally insane or in,
sanely criminal-either condition due
to imperfect education, incomplete
education or defective mentality. In
any case. society is responsible for
not remedying the conditions"
OF Burns connection with the Nc,
! Namara case the report said in part
Burns has not and could not pro
duce scintilla of evidence to substan
late his oft-repeated misstatement:
/ 'GOmpers knew
/ The report charges that Burns made
it appear that officers of the fedora
ton were the "higher-ups," and thai
/ when Mr.. Gompers made reply this
/ turned upon him the brunt of the at
| tack"

tricts should be treated the same as
the gangs in the poorer sections Of
the city.
THE social centers in the small
parks and schoolhouses have helped
to combat the gang evil. What many
of these young men need is proper
social recreation"
Chief of Police McWeeny said:
1T will be necessary for the courts
and prosecutors to cooperate with
the police in breaking up the street
gangs of toughs and hoodlums. Time
and again these rowdies have been
arrested and let go or given trivial
punishment. The police will do their
part"
Frank Orman, 1910 Holt street, %
years old, one of the suspects arrest
ed, admitted that he was one of the
five men who ran into the shed in the
rear of 1888 Girard street, from which
were fired the FIVE bullets which pierc-
ed Jones body. Orman denied that
he did the shooting, and gave the
police information which may lead TO
the detection and arrest Of the mur-
derer or murderers.
Other men taken IN the dragnet of
the district were John Rammel, 1926

CHICAGO POLICE
T TOWAR ON GANGS

Chicago, Nov. ia war of exter-
mination on street gangs, composed
of hoodlums, toughs and ruffians,
which terrorize different parts of the
city, was ordered yesterday by Chief
of Police John McWeeny as a Sc
quence of the murder of Policeman
Charles Jones of the Rawson Street
station by gangsters last Sunday.
The work of wiping out the lawless
bands was begun in that district of
the northwest side in the vicinity Of
Girard street and Bloomingdale road
and Blackhawk and Noble streets,
where the gang whose members killed
Policeman Jones were accustomed to
gather.
Twelve men and boys, declared to
have been among the crew of thugs
which Jones and Policeman Charles
Gierman were attempting to disperse
when the former was shot, were un-
der arrest last night at the Rawson
street station. Other members Of
the gang it was believed by Lieuten-
ant Thomas Duffy, would be caught
within a few hours.
The district is notorious for crimes
committed by gangsters. From this
locality came the murderers of Fred
GuelZow, four Of whom expiated their
crime on the gallows. 1t was in the
same district, at North Paulina and
West Ohio street, that Policeman
Thomas Schweig was shot dead in
July, 1911. Also in the notorious gang
district at West Elm street and Gault
court Policeman Eric II. Miller was
dangerously wounded by bandits last
January.
w. Lester Bodine, superintendent of
compulsory education, who has spent
years in studying the gang problem, -
declared yesterday that it has become
one of the most serious menaces to
law and order the city has to deal
with.
Contempt for law, drunkenness,
vice, insults to women-there are the
characteristics of the gang" said Mr..
Bodine. OF all the downward influ.
ences that lead young men and boys
tc become criminals, believe that the
gang easily overshadows all others.
/ If the life histories of the young men
/ from IS to 25, who crowd our jails,
are examined it will be found that
running with the gang constituted the
| greatest destructive agency.
Il have catalogued the gangs into
different groups. The group from IS
. to 90 leads astray the group from
16 to IS. and the latter, taking the
/ boy from Il to 16, transform them
into hoodlums and roughs.
The enforcement OF the compul
sorry education law has wiped oul
many gangs Of boys from II TO II
years, and it is up to the police tc
break up bands Of older men. The
gangs of men and boys are permitted
! TO loiter at street corners and in
front of nickel theatres. Such gangs
il for no other reason than that they
are menace to young girls, should
be made to move on.
THE police should use moral sua
sion first, and then their clubs Il
is to be hoped that the municipa
court judges will cooperate with the
police in breaking up these gangs
! by imposing stiff penalties whenever
the evidence warrants on all gang
sters arrested for Yagrancy.

was hysterical and could scarcely tell
a connected story. The police were
disposed TO accept her statement that
she shot her mother by mistake, al
though an element of mystery was in
jected into the tragedy because of
contradictory statements by Cuthbert
and Miss Meyers. Cuthbert says he
did not know mother and daughter
and only volunteered his services to
them after the shooting. Miss Myers
is said to have told the police Cuth-
