DEFENCE WEAK
Grand Jury Should Hear Ice
Charges, Says Court.
LIQUOR FIGURED IN "BRIBE"
Drinks, Luncheons and Moving
Pictures a Prelude to Turn
ing Over 81, 900.

So little vas done by counsel ycstcr-
=. Sheridan was innocent Of the charge
OF Matchmaking the Knckerbockcr Ice
Company that at the end Of the days ses-
sion Of court chief Magistrate McAdoo
advised the District Attorney 10 take the
case to the grand jury before the next
hearing. which he set for Tuesday after
room At o'clock
Magistrate McAdoo said that a prma
facie case had been established against
the defendant and that In cross-examin-
ing one witness yesterday Andrew S.
Fraser. Sheridan's lawyer. not only had
not made single change In the evidence.
but had made the case rather stronger.
MAGISTRATE McAdoo seemed provoked at
the dilatoriness OF counsel. who occupied
the session in the REORGANIZATION Of
only one OF nine witnesses, and all TO no
purpose.
Lloyd J.. Stryker counsel for the
Knickerbocker Ice Company. had the Wit
ness. who was Charles G. Small a depot
superintendent OF the ice company on the
West Side, repeat that he had been at
the Office OF the District Attorney and had
received instructions as to how to proceed
in paying over to Sheridan the alleged
81 900 bride and 10 obtain complete evil
dence Of the transaction.
What happened to a quart bottle OF
whskey in the Office of the knickerbock-
ers district superintendent, Mr.. Powley.
in Flushing. when Mr.. Small. accom-
panied by Mr. Sheridan. went there. APP
peared to be the chief solcitude OF coun-
sci for the defence. Mr. Small declared
that Mr. Sheridan was by no means drunk
when he uttered his threats to humble
the ice company. and that he was by no
means sober when they parted at the end
OF n convivial evening.
Drinks, luncheons and moving picture
shows seemed to hold an important place
in Mr.. Smalls scheme in playing his fish.
and. finally. in arranging for the meeting
at Flushing. where dictaphone was In
stalled In the office, Mr.. Small directed
Mr. Powley to be sure to have a bottle
of whskey on hand. as this fellow was
very fond OF his booze"
The witness said that when he gave the
| money to Sheridan-one 500 bill and five
500 bills-Sheridan complained that he
would have trouble In cashing such sub
stantial certificates Mr. Small added that
| Sheridan invited him TO enter a restaur-
rant and help him TO change one OF the
bills by ordering a bottle Of wine. but
that he chung to beer and paid for the
beverage at that.

leaders speak William ID. Haywood,
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and Patrick
Quinlan devoted their speeches to hot
denials Of newspaper reports that ths
strike was broken. The newspapers and
not the police and county authorities bore
the brunt of their attacks.
"One New York paper says vigilance

city, cried Miss Flynn. her eyes fash
ing. I'D like TO see them do it, I've
got too good a guard" she said as she
pointed her finger toward 800 men and

Your leaders will not leave Paterson

America, the holy city of labor We will
make il a Mecca of the industrial world
a city where its workers shall make their
work a pleasurable exercise, city where
they shall have full enjoyment of the

made application before Justice James f..
Mnturn. of the Supreme Court last night
in Hoboken TO have foreign or outside
Jury drawn to hear the cases of the
indicted men when they are brought 10
trial in Paterson.
Prosecutor Michael Dunn of Passaic
County opposed the application, arguing
that to grant IL would cast a stigma on
the citizens OF that county and would be
an unnecessary expense Justice Minturn
said ne would take the application under
advisement and would announce his decis-
ion this evening al his home In Hoboken
Morelli read several editorials and news
items from Paterson and Passaic papers
TO support his contention that the minds
OF the citizens of the county had been
plejudiced against the I. w. w. He said
he would accept jury drawn from any
county in the state other than Passaic
and Sussex.

HELP|NG TO BUILD
UP THIS SECTION

his shovel handle campaign, most
unique affair and vet nothing but
an, attempt to get the boys and
girls of Ansop county started in
manual training. The shovel han
die was chosen because it was an
article Of common use, not par
ticularly hard to make and would
be worth something when done.
He interested the school author
tiles and then got the boys and
of Wadesboro together in an old
warehouse and had somebody
show them how easy it was to
make a shovel handle. Then he
announced series of prizes to be
given to the boys and girls, who
Within a certain limit, succeeded
in making the best shovel handle.
!. After he had every kid in Wades-
boro interested he took two or
three boys and girls who had
caught the hang of it and toured
the county until he had practic-
ally all the schools interested in
making shovel handles.
Now to hide all this under a
bushel would not have been like
Patrick. He planned a big round
up in Wadesboro, with a process
sion of all the competing schools
in Anson county in line, behind
some of the county's biggest men
as officers, under waving banners,
while thousands of people lined
the streets and felt proud.
To help draw the crowd and to
amuse the people he secured a lot
of sideshIows of the better sort un-
til his shovel handle contest took
on the proportions and character
istics of county fair.
A great concourse of people
came. The procession was an eye
opener, the county was represent
ed, 1000 shovel handles were made
and manual training was fairly
started in Anson county.

|CARNEG|E LIBRARY
| TO Be READY SOON

The Carnegie Library, now in
course of erection, is to be COM
pleted in October. 1t is hoped that
the library will be opened to the
public few weeks thereafter.
This handsome $4,000 building,
admirably planned and thorough
ly well constructed, is Andrew
Carnegie's gift to the city Of Hen
Jacksonville. The attractive lot on
which the building stands is the
gift Of Capt. M. G. and CT. Toms.
The committee in charge of the
library,-to whom also the city is
indebted for a vast amount Of ar
duous but necessary work,-con-
sists of w. c. Rector, B. Jackson
and Capt. M. c. Toms.
The building and the lot have
been given outright. The city is
" OpOudIO dnN u1d1uld1u I1uc H
bpary. But where are the books to
come from?
In a case like this, the first step
is the most difficult. AS soon as
the start is made, the rest will be
easier. 1t is believed that the
County Board of Education will
start the ball rolling. The Board
has shown a marked disposition
to take a broad and sensible view
of it's duties and powers, and it
will be requested to present the
library with set OF books of ref
erence of recognized educational
value. The churches of the city
also will be asked to contribute,
as will the Greater Hendersonville
Club. Generous help is expected
also from some Of the larger pub
fishing firms. All this, together
with what will be given by private
individuals, will supplement the
