NJ NAMARAS GUILT
KNOWN LONG AGO
Indianapolis Former Mayor Is
AsSaAed by Burns.
ACCUSES HIM OF NEGLIGENCE
Detective Says Bookwaiter Dropped
Dynamiting inquiry Though He
Was Aware of the Guilt
of the Brothers.

Indianapolis, Ind-Tormer Mayor
Charles A. BookWalter, who, it is
claimed, had sufficient evidence in
his possession two years ago that in
dicated that bridge and structural
iron workers officials had caused dy-
Mantle explosions in this city, was
charged with gross negligence by De-
tective William ] Burns in not push
ing the prosecution
Burns said the former mayor drop
ped the investigation and not long
afterward was invited to become a
member of a printing firm doing much
work for a national labor Union. and
III which Samuel Gompers, president
81 the American Federation, is report
Cd to him to have been interested
BookWalter admitted that two
years ago he had told score OF
prominent national labor leaders that
he was convinced of the guilt OF John
!. Mcnamara and the iron workers
union in connection with the four eX.
blossoms on property of Albert Won
Sprechkelsen III October. 1903.
Why didn't Bookwalter pursue his
Investigation queried Burns, either
as mayor or as a private citizen after
he retired from Office shortly after
ward? If he knew, as he says he
did, that John j. Mcnamara and the
iron workers were dynamiting prop
erty of nonunion contractors, it was
his duty to prosecute or tell the pub
lie what he knew. If he had done SO,
scores of subsequent explosions might
have been prevented.
The detective asserted that he could
not discuss the details of Bookwalter's
alleged relations with Gompers or
he printing establishment, but said
all information developed in his in
vestigation would be turned over to
The government prose cutors for any
disposition which they might choose
10 make.
Bookwalter said he would bare all
the details OF the municipal investiga-
ton which satisfied him that John j.
Mcnamara, as secretary treasurer of
the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
was the conspirTng executive who
caused the explosions in this vicinity.

rers, president of the American Fed

BACK ROOM" WAS
NATIONS LARDER
Beef Lawyer Tells How Country's
RationS Were DoIed Out.
HEAVY FINES WERE LEVIED
Witness Says Every Packer Who
Shipped More Meat Than His Al
lctment Was Charged 40
Cents a Hundred.

Chicago.-Henry .Veeder, attorney
or the Chicago Packers on trial
.or conspiracy in restraint of trade,
and secretary of the socalled
"old pool described to the jury in
a most graphic manner, how, fr"rl a
little back room in the Counselman
building the meats for the country
were doled out each week, the sup
ply for the markets where prices were
declining was curtailed until the sell
ing price of meat advanced again and
diverted to other markets where top
prices could be obtained
1t is the contention of the govern
men. that similarly effective con-
troll OF the distribution of the coun-
try's meat supply has been exercised
by the indicted packers up to the
present time, although the means they
have used may have changed.
For violation OF the orders issued by
Henry Veeder as to the amount to
be shipped by each packinghouse
during the week, heavy fines were
levied and collected weekly, the wit
cess said. For every hundred pounds
OF beef in excess of his allotment
shipped by any packer the offender
was charged 40 cents, he said, which
more than wiped out his profits on
the excess.
Any packer who shipped less than
the amount permitted him during any
week was rewarded at the rate of 40
cents hundred pounds for his deficit,
was the testimony. To prevent any
packers closing down and ~ merely
taking in the payments from the
pool, which would have more than
equaled his profits, a limit of about
20 per cent of his total allotment was
set as the amount on which any pack
er would be paid for cutting down his
shipments into a given territory the
witness testified.

ADMIT LAW WOULD
AID PHONE OWNERS
Wisconsin Telephone Company
Officials Give Testimony.
ATTACK STATUTES VALIDITY
Rate Commission Is Told That Physi-
cal Connection Would Give Advan-
tage to Independent Companies
With Most Subscribers.

Madison. Representative of Wis
consin Telephone company, testify
ing before the Wisconsin railroad
commission, admitted that physical
connection with Independent lines
would be to the advantage of sub
scribers of both services, but de-
clared that such connection would
tend to detract from their business
by giving the Independent company
with the largest telephone list the
advantage.
In this case, brought by Attorney
Frank Winter of La Crosse, the rail-
road commission is besought to take
jurisdiction of the action, which is
to determine the constitutionality of
the law, a product of the 1911 legis-
lature.
j. B. Young, local manager for the
Bell company at La Crosse, and L.
Kiilam, Milwaukee, in charge of the
plant department of the Wisconsin
Telephone company, both admitted,
when questioned by Attorney Winter,
that there were no mechanical OBJ
stacles in the way of physical con-
nection, although there are many
cases of poor transmission as a result
of such connection.
Mr. Young laid principal stress
on the contention that in city where
an independent company had the
largest list Of subscribers, as in La
Crosse, the Bell company would suf-
fer from physical connection through
efforts to influence subscribers to
give their patronage to local enter
prise.
