Wilson Admits Arrest
But Denies His Guilt.

WASHINGTON. July 5.-Secretary
of Labor Wilson explains his arrest
and activities in the Cumberland
strike in the following statement is
sued to-day:
ION May "a, 1894. the courts of
Allegheny County, Maryland, issued
a restraining order enjoining myself
and others from doing those things
which are usually included in the
injunctive process in labor disputes
"On the 22d day of May a copy Of
the injunction was served on me.
ION the Gath / was cited to appear
and show cause why | should not be
held for contempt, and on the 26th
and 9th of May l was tried for con-
tempt before Judges Hoffman and
Boyd
over the protest of my lawyers,
the court let down the bars, accept
ing evidence Of my action prior to
the issuance of the injunction of the
court and after the citation for con-
tempt. Notwithstanding this fact
was acquitted of contempt
Immediately following that a
charge was made that | was conspir-
ing with the coal miners of the
Georges Creek coal region to stop the
mines of coal companies.
Il was standing at the station in
AAtilttbiAllb, Nlu,s waiting on a tram
coming from Frostburg. on which l
expected a message. When the train
pulled in Sheriff King stepped off and
invited me into the train for a pri-
vate talk
'As the train always stops few
minutes at Homecoming, | compiled
When we got on the train he said he
had warrant for my arrest, charg-
ing conspiracy l asked him to read
1t, which he did. By that time the
train was in motion. and l was taken
to Piedmont. w. Va, and from there
to Cumberland. Md, where was
placed in jail.
None OF my friends among the
coal miners knew of my arrest.
The next day when they learned
of II, they came down TO Cumberland,
got me before a justice of the peace.
where they gave bond for me in the
sum of $500 for appearance at court.
THE coal companies used the usual
big business method to break the
strike thugs We're employed to fol-
low at my heels wherever I went
They went so far as to employ one
man, paying him $500 to kidnap me
and held me prisoner in an aban-
doned farm house in order that they
might be able TO announce to the
miners that I had sold out and left
the region, HOPING thereby to dts
courage the strikers and break the
Strike"

TAYLOR SEEKING
CONTROL OF CLUB
Such Is Tale From Boston, Explaining John lis Visit to Gotham
For Conference With Johnson-Commission Awards
Paul Smith, 0utfieIder to Climbers.
BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

John I. Taylor is believed to be anS-
ling for the control of the Boston Amer
lean League club, which he lost when
James r. McAleer, representing a syn
dicate of iWesterners, purchased half
the stock of the Red SoX. Though the
TayIors owned so per cent Of the stock,
they agreed to allow McAleer and his
friends to control the club. 1t is now
hinted that the TayIors intend con-
trolling the club themselves hereafter
and will meet Ban Johnson in New
York tomorrow to confer in the matter.
Under the constitution of the Ameri-
can League change in the control Of a
club must oe ratified by every other
club in the circuit. This is done for
mutual protection and under this rule
the American League has not been torn
asunder by petty quarrels, as has been
the case in the National League. Ban
Johnson is not believed to favor John
l. Taylor as controlling figure of the
Red Sox. Therefore. this conference
is - be held tomorrow.

York real estate operator, who stands
ready to purchase the 50 per cent Of
stock held by the Western syndicate. is

The National Commission has an
nounced officially that Paul Smith, an
outfielder formerly with the Adrian Club
of the Michigan Association, Is the

Charlottesville. Smiths contract with
Adrian called for his unconditional re
lease at the close Of the season IN
Michigan. Danny Moeller %nnws Smith
and tipped OFF Clark Griffith that he
was worth a trial. Griff sent him a con-
tract and he signed it. Meanwhile.
