CLEVELAND, April 14.-William II.
McGannon, former chief justice of the
City Courts, was indicted to-day by
the County Grand Jury on charge of
having given perjured testimony at his
two trials on charge of staying Har-
old c. Kagy, garage man. The jury
also returned indictments against:
Miss Mary E. Neely, the states star
witness in the McGannon trials, who
changed her story in the second trial;
charged also with perjury.
Edward J. Allen, reporter for The
Cleveland News, charged with intimi-
dating witness.
The Cleveland News, indicted on the
same charge as Allen.
J. II. Gass, a witness for the state
at the McGannon trial, charged with
perjury.
G. E. Dwyer, witness for the le-
fense at the McGannon trial, charged

Tense at the McGannon trial, charged

One secret Indictment.
Shortly after these indictments were
returned Miss Neely surrendered. So
did Burke. Both pleaded not guilty.
Miss Neely's bail was set at $4,000.

arrested by deputy sheriffs, pleaded
not guilty and was released on 81 900
bail.
Deputy sheriffs armed with capiases
were unable to locate McGannon. The

Euclid Avenue. whereas he was really
in the machine until it reached East
Ninth Street and Hamilton Avenue
where the shooting took place May 7.
The indictm ent against Miss Neelv
charges that she testified at the second
trial that she had not talked to any one
regarding what her testimony would be,
whefeas, on January 8, the night of the
day before the second trial she met
McGannon and Burke in room at the
Mecca Hotel, East Ninth Street, and
there agreed to change her story.
I'm a sworn statement" said Prose
cutor Stanton, miss Nicely informed
us that she WAS paid $40 that night by
Judge McGannon and that subsequent
" she received substantial amounts

HAMPTON, Va, April 14.--William
Howard Taft, president of the Hampton
Institute board Of trustees, spoke at
the fifty-third anniversary exercises
to-day on "The Discipline Of Labor and
Character Building" Mr.. Taft said
that the absence of any real interest
in the work or the desire to make It
efficient, as we'll as the lack Of loyalty
to the service, presents one of the great
difficulties in the labor problem to-day.
II believe that legislation" said Mr..
Taft, "may be more or less helpful in
increasing among men equality of op-
portunity, but the question Is: Have
men the courage, character and fore
sight individually to improve that
equality Of opportunity"

"This means tremendous loss of

the action of the Railway Labor Board
"is a substantial step toward the re-

He pointed out that abrogation Of ma

They strut with the band like peacocks
gay,
with heads held high on each gala
day,
And are out in front on dress parade,
While shouts ring out from man ana
maid
But they take good pains to be out of
sight
When things go bad and it looks like
a fight
Take part in the fray?
Never happens, I'll say.
They have a front row seat at func-
tions grand
And smile and nod to beat the band,
With much ado they laugh and prate
To convince the world they're up to
date;
But Just pass the hat and call for the
dough,
They're no where around, they had to
go
Help pay for the fun?
Not a chance meath the sun.
