officials Of the American Federation
OF Labor expressed no surprise today
over the admissions. Of Colonel Nulha1i
that the N. A. N. had attempted to
discredit President Gompers. Secretary
Morrison. and others.
President Gompers. stiil III from his
recent operation. was guarded by q
doctor and an attendant and was not
permitted to see anyone.
Secretary Morrison. however, shed
new light On the lobby subject
he said that the operations Of the
N. A. NJ. had been common knowledge
OF the A. F.. Of L. for sorne time. that
the federation had been on the de-
fcEsive, and had known Of the efforts
to discredit its slee6ers.
In support Of this statement Mr.. Nor
rtfon gave out the report Of the feder-
stion convention Of 1901, In which Pred.
dent Gcmpers made statement on the
moor. exposing the operations Of Bran
den1erg: an agent OF the N. A. n. He
declared that Brcndenburg had ap-
preached Gompers with the story that
as agent OF the N. A. n. he had list
Of records Of all leaders, showing al
'esed immortality In their lives.
System Of Spies.
e;ompers at that time charged the
N. A. M. with maintaining a system Of
spies and a boycott against the Amer!-
lean Federationist.
Gompers charged that Brandenbara
sought to have him stand for re-elec-
ton In the 1907 convention, and then
retire from the presidency. as the n A.
NJ. hoped in that way to practically 5e-
sttroy the A. +. Of l. after publishing
the records Of certain labor leaders.
Gompers told the convention that
Brandenburg promised him immunity
from exposure and assured his financial
future.

learn whether or not Brandenburg acted
on the authority Of Van Cleave, head
OF the N. A. n. people, Brandebu,R

SECRETARY OF TREASURY Ap- VlSEs NO cURTAlLMENT OF
 FINANCIAL BUSINESS.
BECAUSE OF THE NEW LAW
Says U. s. Treasury Is at Service of the Bankers of the Country-cur- rency Bill Is Further Delayed in Con. sideration.

Washington. Nov 2S.-Secretary McAdoo issued statement tonight declaring that banks throughout the country, reported to be restricting credits in order to meet the provisions Of the expected currency law are making a mistake. He announced that the resources of the treasury will be at the disposal of the banks to aid them in complying with the new law when 1t is put upon the statute books.
 The statement in part said
 The secretary expressed the con. yiction that the new law will impose no hardships on the banks and that the transfers Of capital and reserves to the proposed federal reserve banks will be accomplished with little or no inconvenience to the banks and to general business The secretary said that the treasury department had large available resources at it's com mand, that he should not hesitate to use them for the purpose of aiding the banks to comply with the new law and that in his opinion the banks could with perfect safety proceed with the granting of accommodations to their customers in the normal and usual way.
 The secretary said that he did not. of course, assume to advise the banks-he only wanted them and the business public to know that there is no ground for apprehension and that The attitude of the treasury depart ment is to be helpful and that he thought it could be effectively help full. He said that if any banks are laboring under the impression that the new law will necessitate or occasion restriction of credits they are con trolled by error as no such thing will result.
 The secretary stated that up to date the banks had called upon the treasury for only $34 4,66l0O0 for crop moving purposes that these deposits were, under the arrangements, to be returned in four installments, begin ming December l5 and ending March 1.
 "The secretary said that he would consider favorably and upon its mer- its the application of any national bank holding crop moving deposits for postponement of 90 days of the time for beginning re-payments so that payments may commence on the fiji teenth of January. 1914, instead Of on the fifteenth of December next. as nows provided,

DOCTOR 0N TRIAL
 FOR MURDER CHARGE
SENSATIONAL CASE IS EXPECT ED IN TRIAL OF DR. CRAIG
 FOR WoMAN'S DEATH,

Shelbyvlle, Ind, Nov 2S-Imposine legal forces today engaged in the pre- liminary slirmish of the trial Of Dr. Wm B, Craig of Indianapolis, for the murder of pr Helene Knabe.
 Thirty-one talesmen were examined by adjournment tonight, but 12 jury men satisfactory to both sides had net been obtained When court re- conyenes tomorrow the questioning of veniremen will be resumed
 Stress was laid by the prosecution examiners on circumstantial evidence and no talesman who acknowledged that he would not convict as readily on evidence of this character as he would on direct evidence was accept ed by them. Equally insistent were the defendants lawyers that no man should hold seat in the jury box who had formed an unaltered apinior as to how Dr. Knabe was murdered
 The line of questioning appeared to indicate that the state would en
 deavor to build the structure of iti case on the foundation of compromis
 ing circumstances. There was ever!
 indication that the accused veterinar!
 surgeon and his lawyers would sup
 port strongly the police theory of sui

 Significance was attached by som
