DYNAMITE CONSPIRATORs CON
VICTED

The celebrated trial of forty di-
rettors and members of the Interna-
tional Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers charged with
conspiracy to transport dynamite
and nitro glycerine to various parts
of the country to be used in blowing
up buildings, bridges and other struc-
lures erected by contractors employ
ing non-union labor, came to close at
Indianapolis the last week in Deem
Der. The verdict of the jury was
that thirty eight of the accused were
guilty and two not guilty.
On the Both ultimo Federal Judge
Anderson overruled motions for new
trial, annulment Of verdict and ar
rest of judgment, and passed SEN
fences as follows: Frank NJ. Ryan,
president of the iron workers union,
seven years in the LeavenWorth pen
itentiary; eight others, including P.
A. Cooley of New Orleans, six years
each; two others, four years each;
eleven others, three years each; four
others, two years each; six others,
one year and one day each. The
sentences Of the remaining six were
held in suspense and it is believed
they will not be punished if their
future conduct is good. Judge An
derson declared that some of the
prisoners We're guilty of murder, but
could not be punished for that crime
because they had not been tried on
such q charge.
The thirty three sentenced men
were taken on a special train to
Leavenworth, Kansas, and are now
inmates of the federal prison there.
The federal court of appeals at Chi
aaso has granted an application to
admit them to bail pending decision
Ct the appeals taken in their cases,
but the amount Of the bonds will be
heavy, being fixed at the rate of
$40, 900 for each years imprisonment,
hence it will require some time to
furnish the bail
The outcome of this remarkable
case is a signal triumph for law and
oyder that must command the approx
u Of loyal citizens and right thinking
osople everywhere.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
1T is ONE OF ROME's OLD TRICKS

NV Dear Mr.. Watson: There was
a prominent Freemason in this city
who died recently here. He was un-
conscious for several days before he
breathed his last. Believe it is true
that when an infant his mother had
him baptised in the Catholic church.
But after he became old enough to
reason for himself, he rejected all
the hypocritical Catholic dOgmas.
And when he became of lawful age
he become one of the most devoted
and enthusiastic Freemasons, and we
know that he wanted the Masonic
burial service over his remains. But
when he died, and the first Mason ar
rived at his bedside after his demise,
(the priest was ahead of the friend
and brother Mason of his), the priest
had appropriated the remains, and
prevented the fraternity from giving
his remains Masonic interment.
| am requested within a month or
so to deliver Masonic address in
his Masonic body, and | feel that J
would like to give the priest hail
Columbia" in that address for swip-
ing the body Of the deceased brother.
Will you do me the kindness to write
that act up in as bitter Language and
as briefly (for me to use in the
speech) as you can? I do not know
of any one who can do it so effectu
ally as you, is why I ask it of you.
I may send you the speech after |
have delivered it, that voc may use it
if you think it meritorious, or worthy
of you publishing in your valuable
Magazine.
Very sincerely yours,
Washington, D. G. A. j.
P. S. That priest is now telling
that the Brother Mason before he
died renowned Freemasonry, and
wanted the Catholics to bury his re-
mains But the truth is he was un-
conscious for several days, and there
fore, could not have made such re-
quest. A. j.

FROM AN OLD TRUE-BLUE.

Oar Mr. Watson: | am writing
you these few lines to let you know
how l feel about the way you are
being treated by the Catholics. AS
l see it, l think this prosecution
shows up the Catholic hierarchy in
it's true light. With them it is like
you say-bow to the Pope ana obey
his commands-and if you refuse to
do his bidding, they vii pour out
their vituperations of wrath, and re-
sort to any and every undermining
act they can think Of. Suppose we
reason this and use a little common
sense Even if it cali be proven that
you did violate the law, could any
fair-minded man sign a verdict Of
guilt, under the circumstances?
Suppose we take this view Of it:
Say, for instance, l own a little piece
of land, and have it posted, forbid
ing any tresspassing, AMI put up
notices on every corner, so every one
passing may see and know that I
have met the requirements of the
law, in trying to protect my land,

THE MONEY QUESTION.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Will you please
give me little space in your valua-
BILE paper in behalf of the whole
American people on the money ques-
ton? | believe the money of Amer
lea belongs to every American citi-
zen. Gold, silver, copper; or paper
is not money, and with your permits
sion | will prove it to your entire
satisfaction and to the satisfaction
OF every one that reads it. [ know
that the present generation have all
been taught that there was no other
good money but gold. But this is
no more than silver or copper or
paper. Neither is money Money is
not a substance at all. Money is only
the law Of Congress, in accordance
with the Constitution, which says
that Congress shall have power to
coin money and regulate the value
thereof. Ana they have coined mon
ey out of gold, silver, copper and
paper and have regulated the value
thereof by putting the value thereof
on every piece of money they have
ever made to tell what it shall pass
for in values, as the money is of no
value itself, but just to exchange for
Valuables or to pay valuable debts
with. Now for the proof that money
is not a substance; neither gold, sill
yer, copper or paper. If you blot off
the stamp from a tWenty-dollar gold
piece-yOu can't buy your dinner with
it as money, but you can sell it as
bullion for the twenty dollars as bull
lion. But how is it with silver? You
blot the stamp from a silver dollar
and you can't get but fifty-four cents
for it as bullion This ought to con-
vince any one that | am right in this,
as the law makes it worth one dollar.
Twenty copper pieces make one dol
lar by the law, while the whole TWEEN
ty as bullion is worth but thirteen
cents as bullion. A paper dollar is
as good as gold and costs but one
half cent.
When Congress domonetized silver
in 1913, all it did was to repeal the
law making silver money. And the
price on all silver do4ars went down
to thirty-four cents on the dollar.
Now ism t this enough to satisfy
every reader Of your paper that the
law Of Congress is our money-not
the article it is put on? The Bible
is not Gods law. 1t only contains
the law, and this is the way with our
money. These different articles only
contain or express the money.
Now, my dear friends, who do
the laws of Congress belong to-you
readers, or to the national banks?
The money belongs to the people,
and has ever since Washingtons day.
But they have been wronged out of
it for over hundred years, and have
gone to help make the millionaires
and money men to make the laboring
men poor, and to make tn rich richer.

Women's Vice Squad
Would Be Help, Says
Atlanta Police Head
Recorder Also Approves of Fe-
male Detectives to Track
White Slave Violators.

The idea Of women sleuths to aid in
the war on vice as advocated by Mrs
o. H. P. Belmont and other prominent
women of New York. has met with the
approval of Police Chief Beavers and
Recorder Broyles, who believe women
would aid materially in gathering EVIL
dence
Both officials said, however that the
greatest care would have to be used In
the selection of such women detectives,
as only the right kind would be of any
service at all
The wrong kind Of woman at work
on vice cases might do a great deal Of
HARM" was the opinion of the two Of
f1cials, expressed today.
Chief Beavers said women would be
able to procure evidence in many in
stances where a man would fail.
"Violators of the law are always ex-
pecting to be Swallowed by a police
man or detective, and sometimes 1t is
difficult to obtain the proper evidence.
1t is here that a clever woman would
be OF value" said the chief.
There is no likelihood at present that
a move will be made to introduce the
"women's vice squad" in Atlanta.

FINED BY RECORDER
FOR ABUSIVE TALK

Alderman ]. w. Maddox, of the Fifth
ward, we'll known contractor, today ap-
peared before Recorder Broyles, who,
in his official capacity, knows him quite
well, as the result Of wordy war with
9. B. Snow, of the Dixie Transfer Com
pany
Snow had a case made against the
alderman for alleged abusive language
and the alderman also had a case made
against Snow on the charge of OBJ
structing the street. Both men were
arraigned at the same time.
Alderman Maddox Is contractor for
the excavation for the new Healev

s1.75, and then imposed a similar fine
on Snow for blocking the street.
