Grand jury DOES
NOT LISTEN TO
BURNS CHARGES
Pinchot Ready to Back
Detective McMullin

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 15-
Today U. S. District Attorney Gordon
gave VIM. ]. Burns the eight page
typewriter statement of the former
Burns detective McMullin to read.
But the grand jury investigating
Burns part in the fixing of the oil
araft jury, was not so generous. 1t
scoffed at two papers, both drawn
up by friends of Burns, one of them
his employe, making derogatory
statements about McMullin This
was the evidence which Burns, "The
Eye That Never Sleeps" as the anti
labor detective has styled himself,
boasted would "shoot full of holes"
the jury fixing, and perjury charges
made against him by his former de-
tective, McMullin.
Siddons Cuts In.
The trial judge, F. L. Siddons,
thrust himself into the public light
again today by signing an order ap-
pointing a committee composed of
Peyton Gordon, special government
oil counsel, John E. Laskey, former
district attorney, and James S. Easily
Smith, local prominent lawyer, to
conduct an investigation and determ-
inc whether there is any basis for
contempt proceedings in the recently
declared mistrial Of the Sinclair
conspiracy case.
Siddons' order revolves around the
charges of loose and improper talk
ing by Juror Edward J. Kidwell
District Attorney Gordon seemed
irked when he heard of Judge Sid
dons' order. 1t was evidently ua-
J solicited and unwelcome.
Earlier in the day, Chas. G. Rud-
dy, talked to the grand Jury for an
hour. Ruddy is CHI snadower for
the Burns Detective ..gency and the

Other Startling Disclosures.
Other disclosures made by speakers
at the public session of the conference
were of an almost equally startling
nature. 219 affidavits were produced,
signed by miners and members of
miners families, detailing the out
RACES inflicted upon them by the coal
and iron police-thugs deputised by
the state but paid by the coal and
steel companies.
$4,000 miners families in this dis
rrict are subject to eviction. 5000
eviction cases are pending. 5000 gum
men have been imported by the cor
porations. Thousands of strike
breakers, some Of them convicts,
have been brought in. Mining com-
munities have been turned into "liv-
ing hells," union officials stated.
Governor Is Coal Owner.
Governor Fisher of Pennsylvania
was shown to be a stockholder in and
a director of the Clearfield Coal Com
pany, owned by the New York Gen.
tral Railroad and is also an attorney
for this union-hating corporation.
State police, under orders of Governor
Fisher, have ridden down women and
children.
Wall Street Fights Union.
Coal companies which are willing
to sign an agreement with the union
are threatened with ruin by the banks
and such corporations as General
Motors, Wall Street corporation, 40.
cording to Philip Murray, vice presi.
dent of the United Mine Workers
Murray named the Bertha Consumers
Company, producing 3,500,000 tons
annually, and an operator named Gill
more, as two concerns who had been
prevented from signing a union con-

Initial steps toward the establish
ment I'm Great Falls Of a monument to
the late Charles NJ. Russell, whose
tory Of the western country, were taken
recently when an option on the prop
erty on which is located the Russell
home and the studio IN which he did
much Of his work was signed by the
Russell memorial committee Of the
Chamber OF Commerce and Mrs. Nancy
Russell.
Fred A. Fltgman, chairman Of the me-
mortal committee, stated that the pur-
chase price set in the option is $4,000.
The value was fixed by a board Of ap-
praisers. Mrs. Russell will contribute
many Of the personal effects Of the artist,
including his saddle, easels and other
articles, to the memorial.
The property to be purchased COM
prises four lots Immediately adjoining
the Russell home at 1919 Fourth avenue
north. Here it is proposed to create q
memorial typical Of the painter and the
scenes he spread on canvas.
Joe DeYong, another western artist
and one Of Mr.. Russells closest friends,
will aid the committee in designing the
memorial. When it is completed it will
be presented to the city.
The option provides Tor payment Of
| 10000 within 80 days and payment Of
the second $4,000 within the next 90
days. If the entire sum is not forthcom-
| ing by the time the first payment is due
the project will be abandoned and the
option allowed to lapse.

Construction of an 8O-mile extension,
tapping 1874, 900 acres I'm Phillips and
Blaine counties, has been authorized by
the Great Northern board of directors,
according to an announcement made
by Ralph Budd, president. This project
which will be completed in time to
move the 1928 crop will cost more
than So 100000, Mr.. Budd said.
The construction Of this extension is
subject to approval by the interstate
railroad commission. Mr.. Budd said that
the authorization Of this construction
program is contingent on the granting
of a free right Of way and the elimina-
ton Of all land speculation prospects in
! the territory affected. In connection
with the building of this railroad will
be a colonization project and Mr.. Budd
! emphasized the point that the land must
be made available to bona fide settlers
atthe prevailing low prices for farm land
! in northeastern Montana.
The new line will be built from either
Saco or Beaverton, Mr.. Budd said. Survey
crews now are in the field to determine
: the most feasible route. The line will eX-
/ tend to near Turner an dwiu open to
intensive cultivation the Turner area de-
scribed by agricultural experts as one Of
the most fertile grain raising sections
Of Montana. This section this year raised
100000 bushels Of grain, Mr.. Budd said
It is estimated that with a railroad more
than 100000 bushels will be the annual
output.
A. H. Hogeland, consulting engineer OF
the Great Northern, will visit this terri
tory to datermine the best route for the
proposed extension.
With the construction Of this exten
sion and the completion Of the Bainville-
| Opheim line the Great Northern will have
. expended $6,250,000 for the agricultural
development Of Montana. The Turner
loan is similar to what is known as thI
/. Scobey loan and both are known as the
richest wheat producing sections of Mon
{ tana. Any attempts at land speculation
) will be frowned on by the Great North
ern. Mr.. Budd said that the direction
r have insisted that the new settlers bI
. given the benefit Of the opening Of thi
E territory.
