ACCUSES SELF TO
PUNISH HIS CHIEF
Muscatine Mayor Takes Bold
Method to Bring Trial
Fought by Aldermen.

Muscatine. Iowa, Nov. 25.-A dra.
matte crisis was reached in the muni-
cipal upheaval here yesterday when
the city council adopted a resolution
preferring charges against Chief OF
Police Hoffman and Mayor Kern and
providing for their trial before the
council.
The accused officials are specifically
charged with compromising felony.
which accusation was originally
brought against Chief Hoffman as an
aftermath of an assault case in which
George Sirpis, a Greek confectioner,
was allowed to escape from the city.
In the hope of defeating Mayor Kern
in his effort to force an investigation
of the police head, aldermen who op-
posed the investigation included the
city executive in the resolution and
Mayor Kern at his own personal sac
rifice urged the support of the resolu-
ton in order to bring Hoffman to
trial.

VOLINIST KILLS A FOE
AFTER BEING WOUNDED

New York, Nov. 25.-Ffitz Kreisler.
Austrian violinist of note, who served
as a lieutenant in the Third Kratz
regiment, told today how he killed a
Russian Cossack after being wound
ed by him in battle near Lemberg the
night of Sept. 16.
while resisting a charge Of Rus
sian Cossacks,'' he said, 81 was knock

and before he could withdraw it l shot
and killed him.

double pay They were really EN-
ployes of the company fighting in the
name of the state"
After reviewing the conditions as
they prevailed in Michigan several
conclusions are stated in the report.
1t mentioning welfare work that has
been conducted by the companies the
report says:
NO amount of welfare work, how
ever admirable it may be, will take the
place of fair wages and right condi-
tions of labor
Regarding violence, it is stated
churches are opposed to violence, no
matter what the provocation. Such tao
tics reflect upon the workers them
selves"
In regard to the unions the report
has this to say:
"The right of workmen to organize
has been and is being denied by the
and un-Christian attitude
of the mine operators, who thus de
prive their employees of an essential
means of selfdefense, the right to bar
gain collectively for their labor"
The report deplored the practice of
allowing private companies to bring
bird gunmen into a community in
which there are industrial troubles,
and still more deprecates such men
being given authority as special Off
GERS OF the government by the state
and local authorities"

New York Police Have
Case Similar to the
RosenthaI Staying.
BUSINESS WAR CAUSE
Victim Had Incurred Enmity of
Rivals by Cutting Prices
on Poultry Market.

New York, Nov. 25.-The assassina-
ton of Barnet Baff, called by Cor
oner Feinberg the elimination of the
greatest conspiracy since the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, is engaging at
tention of the central Office. The VIC
tim, rich independent poultry deal
er, was lured to his death by a
youth who came in his place of busi-
ness and asked him to come out on the
street, where he shot him. Two men
jumped into an automobile and hurried
off before the police came. Neither
the car nor the men has been identi-
fed
Baff had been threatened many
times since he sent several members
of the poultry trust in New York to.
prison by his testimony at their trials.
The police also say he had made enc
mics of gang which robbed his Har-
lem market, five of whom he sent to
prison; that he had incurred dislike
of certain wholesalers who charged
he had tricked them by underselling
to retailers, and that a number Of
men were thrown out of work when
fowls shipped to New York were
seized because their crops were found
stuffed with gravel to give them
weight and that Baff was blamed by
the men who lost out
Detectives are working on the the
ory that the murder was the work of
a hired gunman, as in the Rosenthal
case. A revolver was found near the
spot where Baff was killed.

SIEGEL PICKS CHICAGO
AS A PLACE TO WORK UP

Geneseo, n. Y, Nov 25.-Henry Sic
gel, who heard himself pronounced
guilty of a misdemeanor, left here to-
day to begin his work of paying his
creditors. Siegel was granted stay
of execution until June under $4,000
bail to give him opportunity to- make
restitution to his creditors. If he fails
to make good he is to serve 10 months
in the penitentiary.
q am satisfied with the verdict"
announced Siegel today. 81 have to be.
But 1 am very much pleased that the
judge has confidence enough in me to
give me another chance. 1 am going
back to New York today to arrange
a few personal matters. Then l shall
go to Chicago and start at once again
at the bottom of the ladder and work
up
'T am not as young as I was when
1 made the other start years ago. But
I am confident that / can accomplish
enough to pay my creditors and de-
no telling, however, how long that may
take. At present money is very scarce
and l would not like to make a pre-
diction as to time. / do not know
who will back me until I see my
friends. I know only one business,
but l know that thoroughly-the dry
goods business"
do you expect to make substan-
tial return by June?" was asked.
THAT is my ardent wish," answered
Siegel, "but 1 can't give a positive
promise. I'll do all in my power to
make full restitution. That is the best
I can do"

FIND MINERS IN
GRIP OF OWNERS
Church Investigator Exposes
Conditions in Colorado and
in Michigea.

New York, New. 25-In a report &c
the commission on the church and the
I social service of the Federal Council oi
the Churches of Christ in America
made public here, Rev. Henry A At
/ kinson, associate secretary, as investi
gator, arraigns the Colorado coil com
panies for their attitude in the recent
labor troubles in that state.
Rev Mr. Atkinson was sent to Colo
RADIO and also the copper mining dis
tricts of Michigan, where there were
recent Industrial difficulties, by the So
cial service commission of the Con-
gregational churches and the commits
sion of the Council of Churches, and
empowered to represent both bodies
in his investigation into the labor con-
ditions.
After reviewing the troubles in Colo
rado his report says:
The coal companies dominate the
policies in those coulties where the
mines are located. They have brought
about the election of the judges. sher-
fffs. coroners. and assessors. They can
do about as they please so far as the
law is concerned
"A mass of evidence was brought
out to show that they control the politi-
cal. social and economic situation.
Jefferson Farr, sheriff of Huerfano
county. has been in office for Is years.
He is known as tn king of Huerfano
county What he says goes'-as one
OF his admirers put II TO me.
1T is not what he says. however,
but what the coal companies say
These companies have secured his
election as well as that of other officers
and they control them"
Further the report says:
"It is impossible to enforce the law
and the courts are practically closed TO
those who in any way incur the enmity
Of the coal companies; thus economic
Justice is denied the men through the
of political affairs.
Thirty years of such oppression. in
dustriaI, social. and political, have
taught the miners that their only hope
IS in the unions.
IAN individual counts for nothing;
II he protests he loses his job; II he
makes too much trouble he IS dealt
with by hired gunmen, who are Kept
az the mines to do the will OF the
companies and help enforce the law
against the workers"
OF the actions of the militia, Rev.
Mr.. Atkinson informed the commission
as follows:
The soldiers were gladly received
bv the strikers, for they expected they
would have some protection. but their
,opes were in vain. II soon became
syident that the militia was under the
control of the coal companies.
Men and women were thrown into
IaiI without any chargei being lodged
against them and held incommunicado.
The militia, instead OF aiming 10
maintain order and secure justice, was
Ised TO break the strike.
.In the investigation following the
Ludlow battle it was shown that many

Oficial communications of the na-
tions at war are so cautious they give
little new information, but unofficia,
advices indicate fighting is proceed
ing with great intensity in Belgium
and northwestern France and in Rus
sian Poland. Activity in the west is
centered on the line from ypres, Bel

guns and reinforcements, and the
heaviest engagement of the war is
looked for in the next few days.

ing. Private dispatches from Petro-

forward movement on the Czenstocho-
wa-Cracow line. The latest official
statement from Petrograd says the
Russians are still on the offensive on
the main battle ground between Wis
tula and Warta rivers, and that heavy
losses have been inflicted on the re-
treating enemy.
