BOYCOTT INDIANAPOLIS
Seek to Remove Convention
from City-Ask Sherman
Law Amendment

indianapolis. Jan. 20-Two attempts
were made to-day TO remove the conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America, which opened this morning, from
this city but both failed. 1t is probable
that another effort will be made when
the resolutions committee reports to-mor-
row.
TITS a good thing" said Daniel j.
Tobin, president of the International
Transfers and Chauffers' Union, that
your convention meets in January instead
of December. You could not have had
this hall last month. 1t was military
barracks for deputies, ready to go out and
shoot down the laboring people That's
the kind Of a city this is. Men, don't
spend any more than you absolutely have
TO i'm this city"
William Green, secretary treasurer, said
the organization now had 100000, every
dollar OF which could be used as a strike
defence fund.
Local unions everywhere are asked 10
petition their Representatives and Sena-
tors TO use their influence in having the
Sherman antitrust law amended at once.

Ex-Governor Offers to Tell
Osborne Story of Tam
many Graft.
FEW BELIEVE HE
WILL BE CALLED
Promises to Make Murphy Hench-
men Flee the Countrywide
ing Boxing Lessons.
LRx rele.rnnh 70 The Tribune. ]

Albany. Jan. 2O.-In a conference with
| Arthur T. Warner, assistant to James w
Osborne, who was appointed by Governor
Glynn 10 investigate graft In the High
WAYS and other departments, William
Sulzor EXPRESSED n willingness to-day "a
20 on the stand here and testify to all ne
knows Of the looting Of the state by the
Tammany Hall ring OF contractors and
politicians.
The conference was held Mt the Ten
Eyck. where Sulzer Is stopping. and lasted
an hour Sulzer left Immediately after
that for New York. where he Is under
subpoena to appear in the John Doe In
aury conducted by District Attorney
Whitman.
Mr. Warner refused to disclose what
had transpired between him and Sulzer,
but il is known that Sulzer offered to re-
late facts that would make some very
prominent members Of Tammany han
consult the time tables OF trains going u
Canada" If Sulzer IS called by Osborne
he will tell the story which he wanted
10 relate at his impeachment trial. but
which his lawyers advised against, retus-
ing 10 let him take the stand.
Sulzer made it plain TO Osborne's as
sistant that this story, which accuses the
Tammany Hall ring Of impeaching him
because he would not permit the state 10
he looted. is am essential part of the en-
tire graft situation
Sulzer told Warner that not only would
he bare the highway graft situation. but
he would tell of the printing ring graft
which John A. Hennessy said on the
stump last fall was the meanest form or
graft i'm the state. and, II osborne cared
to hear It. the story OF graft in other de-
partments, involving men who still hold
office under Governor Glynn.
Few here believe that IL It can be pre-
vented Sulzer will be called by Osborne,
but since Osborne announced that he
would investigate graft, hit whom he
would. there is hope of Sulzer having his
oft-repeated wish gratifed TO tell under
oath all lie knows of Tammany graft and
the conspiracy" that brought about his
impeachment.
Sulzer has announced to friends here
that he intends TO run for Congress in his
old district next fall He will try TO get
the Progressive Endorsement, and, fall
ing this, will run on an independent
ticket.
Sulzer keeps in trim by having six two
minute rounds each morning with ZAP
Burdick, who is the Y. NJ. c. AS pro
fessor of pugilism."
Since Bill has been back in Albany"
said Burdick to-day, "he has put the
mitts on with me every morning In his
room at the Ten Eyck, and. talking about

Bids Will Be Asked To-day for
Equipment, Commissioner
Mccall Asserts.

Bids for the equipment of the Steinway
Tunnel, which has been completed and
remained unused for several years, will
be asked by the Public Service Commits
sion to-day. The form of contract for
the work, after delay OF more than SIX
months, will be ratified. and the princi-
pal obstruction to the coming operation
of the tube will be removed.
This was the announcement made last
night by Edward T.. Mccall. chairman of
tho commission, at the dinner of the
Queens Chamber Of Commerce, at the
Waldorf. Desire for the early operation
of the tunnel has been expressed by the
business men and residents OF that bor-

transit facilities to Manhattan.
Last June" said Mr.. Mccall. 81 said
that the tunnel would be in operation in
three months. And | want to tell you
that If l had had my way 1t would be
in operation now. The hue and cry about
the 10 and 10 per cent basis proposition
delayed it, but there is no use crying
over split milk. To-day the tentative
draft was ready, when one Of the counsel
objected to certain phraseology. The
meeting of the board was adjourned, and
tomorrow the form will be ratified and
bids will be asked by the board"
The publication of President Wilson s
message gave former Representative
Martin w. Littleton opportunity TO make
a strong plea for popular support Of the
Presidents efforts.
Whatever may be your views Of his
principles and policies" he urged, you
cannot help admiring his courageous and
dignifed attitude.
The administration entered with GER
tain principles for currency, tariff reform
and the trusts. and these ne has tried to
carry out If mis- efforts result In pros
perity and a newer business doctrine, he
will have fulfilled his promises and II
they result in failure and the opposite OF
progress. you cannot blame him, for he Is
the agent of the party which elected
him"

CRITICISE HINMAN'S
GRAFT RESOLUTION
Some Republicans Urge lnde-
pendent Assembly Inquiry-Old
Tammany Bills Reappear.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Albany. Jan. 20.-Some Republican AS
semblymen are not satisfied with HIM
mans resolution calling for joint leSls-
lative Investigation of all state depart
ments. Many Of them expressed their
dissatisfaction with II at the conference
of Republican Assemblymen last night
and urged an Independent investigation
by the Assembly. The opponents or the
Human resolution said IT would either
be buried in committee when 1t reached
the Senate or rejected.
The Progressves are said to have the
financial backing of several wealthy New
York men who will see an Assembly IN
vestigation through II it is carried out
by a nom partisan committee.
According to the story, George W. Per-
kins and four other men will subscribe
$4,000 each to defray the expenses OF the
investigation, and one of their supula-
tons Is that John a. Henessy be named
as chief investigator. The bill introduced
by Michael Schaap, the floor leader OF
the Progressves, provides for the ap-
pointment of Hennessy.
The Republican members Of the AS
sembly from Brooklyn have started
campaign to bring about fiat fve-cent
telephone rate between all points in
greater New York. A bill to this effect
will be introduced next week.
a large number of bills were introduced
in both houses to-day. and the reappear-
ance of several of the Tammany bills Of
klast year was noticeable.
Senator Griffen, Of The Bronx, intro
duced a bill making five cents the maxi
mum fare on steam or electric suburban
trains between any station OF one bor-
ough and any station in an adjoining
borough in New York City where both
boroughs have more than 10000 inhabi-
tants.
The whtewashng Of Stephen J. Stilwell
by his Tammany associates In the Senate
when he was accused of trying to get
5000 from George II. Kendall for intro
ducing a bill prohibiting the New York
Stock Exchange from discriminating
against banknote company headed by
Kendall, and for which Stilwell is now
serving four years in Sing Sing. was re-
called by bill introduced by Assembly
man Stoddard, Of New York. providing
for the return to Kendall of 5000 for ex-
penses incurred when Stilwell was On
trial here. Five hundred dollars was for
n lawyer Kendall engaged as counsel. 1t
is understood Attorney General Carmody
will approve Of the bill.
A bill by Assemblyman Conkling, Of
New York, would take away source of
income which Edward L. Mccall, Public
lain Hyde long enjoyed. 1t provides that
no public employee receiving an annual
salary shall be appointed commissioner
of appraisal in condemnation or street
opening proceedings.

the arrival OF man at the Mulberry
street police station who said he had
been shot in the knee at the Manhattan
street subway entrance, in Harlem. The
man was Michael Matera, laborer. Ma
terra said he had been working at Fort
Lee all day and was on his way to his
home, at No. 20 Mott street, where his
wife and seven children live, when he
was shot. lie Is said to have later con-
fessed TO shooting in Englewood. y. j..
The police believe that Matera was shot
as a result of this feud.

ordered the saloon. which is at I'd street
and the Bowery. closed. j. j. Chilly, the
proprietor; Joseph Mera, nineteen years
old, of No. go West 18th street his bar

rel.
