fessions from men accused In con-
ncctlon with the bombing and slug.

bles. were announced by police Off
cials today.
James Sweeney. alleged leader OF
a gang which bombed scores OF
buildings here and Andrew Bartlett.

have made confessions. Cheif of Po.
lice Fitzmorris announced today.
One of the men he named. WHO has
not yet been arrested. is Cornelius

figure until he retired from labor
controversies. He was defendant
In the murder Of Alice Walsh in
New York. and was sentenced to
Sing Sing but soon returned to Chi.
cago and his throne as labor czar.
He was boss of the International
Brotherhood OF Teamsters and dur.
ing the strike OF that union in 1905
he introduced some of the most viol--
mt tactics ever attempted in indus
trial warfare. Twenty-one men we're
killed in the strike. The union lost
s1,OOOOOO and the business interests
of Chicago lost $S,OOO.OOO.
The confession Is q sordid story OF
terror bought for hire. II strips the
protective covering from the men
who have been working In the dark
and merely shrugged their shoulders
when questioned about bonds In the
past.
The confession reveals that the
bombing ring conducted an organized
business. Members could be hired to
take part in labor strikes; race
troubles or political feuds. II any
one had a grievance against another

Story OF Play

On next Monday evening at $3.50
the Dramatic Art department of the
college will present <Louis Parker
play, "The Aristocrat." at the col.
lege auditorium. This Is perhaps
the most difficult play essayed by
the college thespains, being of a
serious theme merging on the tragic.
The action begins during the worst
part of the French revolution. when
the fury of the mob knew no bounds
in wreaking death and destruction
upon all aristocrats
Louis of Olonzoc, with his only
daughter and the small circle Of
friends as yet overlooked by the
guillotine, are being protected by
the mayor of Carcossone. with the
understanding that shall be careful
not to offend against the laws en-
nunciated by the reyolutionists.
In spite of this warning Louis
takes under his protection the bishop
of Carcossone who has refused to
recognize the republican calendar and
has repeatedly held his religious SER
vices according to dates Of the old.
Gaspard Che'py, avowed and bitter
enemy Of Louis, warns him to give
the bishop up and on penalty of
death, not to celebrate the coming
in of the New Year. In spite of this
Louis and friends celebrate the New
Year, and Che'py is notified by Re-
maud, servant of Louis, and a spy
in pay Of Chepy Che'py enters the
house secretly and arrests them all
during the service.
The second act is in Paris prs-
on seven months later, when the ar
istocrats are brought up for trial
with Chc'py as their Judge. They
are all condemned to die on the
guillotine, except Louis, who is lib
Grated that he may be forced to wit
ness the execution of his daughter
Preferring death, he tries to disguise
himself as one of the condemned men.
but the mob rushes in announcing
Robspierres death and he is releas-
ed
The old duchess of Autiville off
ers the only comedy element in the
play. In spite of the hopeless out
look at the close of act two, the
third act brings in surprise and
happy ending.
The proceeds are for the benefit
of the college annual which sstill

Costumes have been ordered from

About $4,000 Paid In

Mr.. Stephenson furnished figures,
showing that about $4,000 is the
amount placed at his disposal in the
construction of the plant. His figures
show $500 paid at the time the
work was started two weeks ago.
that $3.50 is the amount turned
over through the sale of stock or
collection of stock pledges since then
and 5000 turned over to the propo-
sition ~ the Hot Stove League.
These figures he stated, were in
round numbers totaling $15,050.
"Here then, we have approximateiy
$4,000 in sight to spend on a 100000
