Furnace Plant Being Erected.

Work was begun this week on the
new buildings for the Independent
Stove Companys furnace plant addi-
tions
The additions will consist of three
separate buildings, added to and con-
nected with the buildings now occu-
pied by the Stove Company. An ad-
ditiop 20x26 feet, two stores high will
be erected in front of the present Of
fee, carrying the building to the side
walk, practically doubling the Office
capacity. This addition also affords
additional room for showing samples,
another department that has been
greatly crowded.
An extension 72x170 feet will be ad-
ded to the present foundry buildlh.
to accommodate the moulders for the
furnace department to be added. 1t is
also the intention of the Company to
remove from their present location all
the wash rooms and erect a thira
building, 40x7O feet, in which will be
placed toilets, shower baths and other
conveniences for the moulders and
other employees and which will give
them excellent accommodations. The
room now occupied for this purpose
will be available for foundry purposes,
and add materially to the capacity Of
the plant.
The additions, when completed, will
add practically 1900 square feet of
space to the capacity Of the plant. The
work of construction will be rushed
forward as speedily as possible, and it
is hoped the buildings will be ready
for occupancy in sixty days, by which
time it is also expected the patterns
for the new furnace to be made by the
company will be ready, and the work
of erecting furnaces will then be taken
up. The company hopes to have it's
furnaces on the market by September
first. The fact is realized that this
will be little late in the season for
this years business, and yet the COM
pany anticipates the new department
will mean the immediate employment
of twenty-five more men, which with
the growth and development of the
business, which is sure to come, the
number will be added to, and without
question the furnace branch of the
business will be as successful as has
been the stove department, which has
been little short of phenomenal.

THIS SMELLS TO HEAVEN

Washington, April 29.-(Special
correspondence THE Department of
Justice has recently figured in one of
the most disgraceful transactions in
its history. AT the instance of the
Department Col. Harry J. Hirsch of
the Quartermaster Corps, graduate
of West Point, was indicted for con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
He was brought to trial. The Attor-
ney General, through Assistant Attor-
ney General Thompson, who is one of
the highest paid and most prominent
officials in the Department, presented
the case. So weak was the evidence
put forward by the prosecution that
the Federal judge before whom the
case was tried threw it out of court
before a single witness for the de-
fense had been questioned.
Col. Hirsch was prevented from
going overseas because of physical de-
fects, but was assigned to duty in this
country as Inspector for army sup
plies. While in Philadelphia to pass
upon shoes being manufactured under
government contract Col. Hirsch
procured the dismissal of an inspector,
one Creeden, because he was tempera-
mentally unfit and was guilty OF con-
duct prejudicial to discipline. Out Of
revenge this man wrote the Depart
ment Of Justice that he could furnish
evidence of fraud against COL Hirsch.
On the unsupported word of Creeden

THE AMAZING GROWTH OF
BOLSHEVISM

"a camel driver, unlettered, but
shrewdly observant of men and man.
ners, was once able, by grace of some
power of vision and more of wit and
will, to create religion that came to
be professed by more than two hun
dred million people. Since his time
the world has not known the rise of
any one mans creed, philosophy or
power comparable to the progress of
the Bolshevism of Nicolai Lenine, and
not even Mohammedanism spread so
swiftly nor inspired to a greater IA
naticism"
This is the opening paragraph in
Charles Edward Russell's Bolshevism
and the United States, which is an
nouncing for early publication.
Mr.. Russell is admirably fitted to
deal intelligently with the problem.
He is a socialist, a friend of labor,
student of economies; he is famil-
lar with every phase of radicalism, is
acquainted with all the revolutionary
leaders, was member of the commits
sion to Russia headed by Elihu Root.
and is man of property and affairs
as well as an experienced and most
engaging writer and lecturer.
He continues; "On March 23. 1917
all the persons in the world that had
ever heard of Bolshevism as doc
trine may have numbered thousand
On January %, 1919, when the chief
apostles of the new faith issued their
call for the first international Bolshev-
ic congress thirty-nine groups from
twenty-nine different nations-three
groups being from the United States
were summoned" Mr.. Russell adds.
"The creed of one man becomes al
ready the creed of millions and still
going on to other millions and to
Others"
Little that is authoritative has been
written about Bolshevism, and Moth
ing about the New Faith. as IL is
called, with relation to the United
States. 1t is said that Mr.. Russell
not only tells where Bolshevism came
from, how it came, why it came and
what it means, but shows the poss;-
bilities Of its implanation in our ow,,
soil, draws a graphic and unforyat-
able picture of its horrors and no;nts
the way to our deliverence.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1919-05-02

a grand jury returned an indictment
against the officer. Attorney Thomp-
son produced all the evidence that he
had been able to gather, with the help
Of special assistant employed on the
case, during a period of almost year.
The defense merely cross examined the
Governments own witnesses and
showed them up in such light that
no further proceedings were neces-
sary.
1t developed in the trial that Creed
en-, who was the cause of the indict-
ment, and the Governments star wit
ness, had obtained eight different ap-
pointments in the Federal service, and
each time had been dismissed. 1t was
proved that he had offered evidence of
fraud in return for high salaried po-
sition; that he was an ex-convict; that
his photograph was on file in the New
Jersey Rogue's galary; and that his
Bertillion measurements were a part
of the record at the prison at Railway.
On the stand Creeden confessed that
he had repeatedly perjured himself;
that his positions with the government
had been obtained through perjury;
and that he stood ready to perjure
himself again if good job was Offer
ed him. Altogether the man demon
started that he was about as contemp-
tible a person as could be imagined.
At the conclusion of Creeden's tes-
timony counsel for the defense asked
that he be taken into custody for his
self-confessed perjury, whereupon As
sistant Attorney General Thompson
proceeded to defend him and urged
that he be not deprived of his liberty.
In spite of the fact that the man had
confessed to bringing false accusa-
tion against an army officer with long
experience and unblemished reputa
tion, the Department of Justice,
through one of its leading representa-
tives, not only refused to take action
against him, but declined to ask that
his intended victim be freed of the
charge. The Judge took the matter
into his own hands, dismissed the in
dictment, and directed the District At
torney to bring Creeden before the
grand jury.
If this is an example Of the sort of
Justice" that the Attorney General
has been administering it is high time
that his department be looked into, as
well as those connected with our mill
tary activities. Undoubtedly the De-
partment of Justice has done some
very necessary work during the war
in rounding up our alien enemy popu-
lation, and in the detection of spies,
but such travesties of judicial proce-
dure as that disclosed in the case of
Col. Hirsch should not be tolerated by
Congress for a moment.
