sion. Among those named were:
Big Tim" Murphy. head OF the
Gas Workers Union and the power"
behind the Chicago building trades
council
Fred Nader, tool" of Murphy and
president OF the council.
Con" Shea, treasurer Of the The
atre Janitors' Union, and confldant
OF Murphy.
Indictments Balk Plans.
Voting OF the indictments frus.
trated efforts TO liberate the trio of
alleged gangsters by habeas corpus
proceedings. Whether or not they
will be admitted to bail. rests with
the judgment OF the court.
After hearing but small part of
the evidence gathered against the
labor leaders. the grand jury voted
the indictments.
Chief of Police Charles Fltzmor-
ris said that three wagon loads of
evidence" had been gathered against
the accused men.
The chief said this evidence prov
ed conclusively that Murphy, Nader,
Shea and one other suspect. yet ,un-
named, constituted the brains of the
terrorist gang. The fourth man is
reported to have made complete
confession.
The evidence, according to the
chief, established Murphys office
was the arsenal from which the
ring was supplied with bombs. guns.
fuses and caps with which the acts
of vandalism were committed.
Murphy Is Excited.
News of the returning of the grand
jury indictments was carried to
Murphy in his cell at the jail. Muir
ply jumped from his bunk, where
he is confined with confessed
slayer of q woman. He was clad in
silk striped underwear.
Smart fellows these officials are"
Murphy said
This will all blow over before
we get to trial
Il never bombed anybody. All
tried to do was to get the men to |
go to work. They don't know the
law. | know more law than the
lawyers, just from getting arrested.
It's the bunk"
Fitzmorris told the United Press
that operatives he has had shadow
ing Murphy and Nader for. months,
reported there was a bitter conflict
between the two. Murphy sought
to oust Nader and install himself
as czar of unionism in Chicago.
"Murphy's plan was to accept the
Lands award and order the men
back to work until next May, when
city-wide strike would be called"
the chief said, "and then, to use
Murphys words, put the shake on
the town."
Murphy wanted to replenish his
war chest, the chief said, to con-
tinue his fight against the sentence
of six years for conspiracy to rob
the mails.

FORMER KAISER
MARRIES AGAIN

Doom, Holland, Nov. 5.-The for
mer German emperor, once all-high-
est of the empire, and Princess Her
mione of Reuss were married to-day
at the house of Doom, where the lord
abides in exile. This second venture
was in strange contrast with a day in
1881 when, as crown prince. he we'd
ded Augusta Victoria, daughter of
Grand Duke Frederick of Schleswig-
Holstein.
Several of the offspring of that
first union we're present to-day to
set the seal of family approval to the
new alliance.
There were two ceremonies, a civil
contract drawn up and signed by
Wilhelm ii" and "Hermione Reuss,"
as they affixed their names; the Sec
ond a religious ceremony conducted
by the former court chaplain, DR..
Vogel, according to the Lutheran
rights.
The air Of secrecy surrounding the
entire affair has been well maintained
throughout. The climax of the sys-
tematic mystiication adopted by the
household came when the brides sis
ter. Princess Ida, who resembles her,
successfully passed herself of as the
bride at the Amersfoort station last
evening with an array of castle cars,
whereas Princess Hermione left the
train at Apeldoorn, half an hour earl
Ter, and drove to the castle unob-
served, those within the village max
ing much of this as a huge joke.
