STRIKE OF CAR MEN TIES UP I

Auburn, N. Y., Wholly Without Service, and Wide Territory Is Affected By Walkout.

SYRACUSE, X. Y., April S.—The strike of the Amalgamated Association of Steel & Electric Railway Employes, directed against the Empire united railway lines, and affecting virtually the entire interurban system of central and western New York, is in effect today. As a result not a cur was moving In the city of Auburn and the Auburn & Syracuse line was tied up, while other systems were more or less affected. The strike was called last night following the refusal of the company to recognize the amalgamated as the representative union body of its employes. The company has contracts with the Brotherhoods of Engineers and Conductors on some of its lines. Cars on what Is known as the Lake Shore, or Oswego division, were still running today, but a deputy sheriff rode on each car leaving the barns, while automobiles filled with policemen accompanied the cars to the city limits. The Lake Shore cars come into this city over their own tracks, which made it possible for this lino to operate.

While there is no strike on the Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern, the amalgamated has prevented the Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern from running Into Rochester City proper on state railway tracks. The same is said to be true at Buffalo, Lockport and Niagara Falls on the Buffalo, Lockport and Rochester line.

Through the carrying out of their plans the strike leaders declared today that they had the Empire lines tied up from Syracuse to Buffalo.

89 SUMMONED BEFORE COURT

Continued From Page One.

Thursday afternoon. When asked what preparations were being made for appeal in his case, he said that he was not quite sure whether any appeal would be taken in his behalf. "It will all depend on what sentence Is given whether I appeal or not. If it is not too strong I and a number of other defendants will take our medicine and get through with it. If I do appeal and am released on bond you can bet I will never stop until get bond for some of the other fellows who may not be able to get such bond themselves." He spoke with regret of a number of these defendants who are known to be without means, and who will leave their families unprovided for in the event they should be sent to prison. His greatest regret, however, was not for himself, he said, but for his father. It is known that several of the defendants have expressed the opinion privately that they would not apepal unless the sentences Imposed were in their belief too severe.

Say Record la Bad.

Many of the defendants, it is shown, have great hope that the circuit court of appeals will reverse the decision of the district court on the question of jurisdiction. A well known attorney discussing this theory Thursday called attention to the fact that all the defendants had been found guilty on all four counts of the indictment, the third and fourth of which charged violation of the United States postal laws. Thare can be no question, this attorney said, of the Jurisdiction of the United States court In punishing offenders for violation of the postal laws, and if the court of appeals should hold that the lower court was without jurisdiction to try the defendants on the first and second counts it would hold as has been held, he said, in thousands of cases, that the court had jurisdiction as to violation of postal laws.

To many who heard the evidence throughout the trial and watched the actions of all the defendants, the strongest personality In the entire list of defendants was Sheriff Dennis Shea. Personal loyalty to him and his cause was shown throughout by many of the witnesses and defendants and it is a matter of common knowledge that many of the government's so-called "star" witnesses expressed regret that their testimony should make it hard for Denny Shea. The latter is perhaps taking the matter more philosophically than any other of the defendants. He said to a party of friends Wednesday night something to the effect that "If we've got to go we've got to go, and what's the use in worrying about It in advance." He said that he had his "house in order and was prepared to go if the court imposes a sentence on him that demands immediate execution.

It is said that he has the opinion of John G. Williams, general counsel for the Vandalia, and father of his attorney, D. P. Williams, to the effect that the carrying out of a sentence of imprisonment on him would not vacate the office of sheriff.

Jack Hines Talks.

Jack Hines, one of the 89 defendants ordered to appear before Judge Anderson next Monday morning for sentence, said Thursday morning that he was at sea as to whit to expect at the hands of the court. He leiterated the statement made by him on th stand during the trial that District Attom^jr Dailey had positively refused to offer Immunity to him in return for any assistance he might render the government. "Dailey told me," said Hines, "that he couldn't promise me anything, and that he would treat every man the same. All the men that pleaded guilty tell me the same story, and I guess it's so. I don't know what I'm going to get, if I get anything." Every government witness who testified to having taken part In the irregularities on registration and election days, was asked the same question in his examination, "Were you promised immunity in any way for your testifying in bohalf of the government?" and the invariable answer was that no promise of that kind had been held out. Some of the defendants whose evidence materially assisted the government are expecting light sentences, and It is known that Jack Nugent expects to get off with a light fine, of perhaps $50, or something of that kind. Most of the defendants in that class are reticent, however, as to what they are expecting at the hands of Judge Anderson. 8eeking Sureties.

The entire matter is in the hands of Representative Stanley and Judge Frank S, Roby, In Indianapolis, and it is known that Judg« Roby has already prepared a bill of exceptions to submit as one of the legal steps preparatory to appeal. He was engaged In that while the trial was in,progress, although he had previously retired from the case after making the opening statement in which Judge Anderson declared he admitted a conspiracy. He was taken ill at the time and did i.ot re-appoar in the court until during its closing days when he entered in company with Judge Redman. It is understood that a surety company of which Malcolm Steele is the local representative. has made arrangements to go on the bond of Judge Redman and Deputy Controller Elmer E. Talbott, with Frank P. Fox, the oil magnate and auto racer, as the Indemnifying surety.

Some of the other defendants who were talked to Thursday morning, appeared to be In doubt as to whether or not they are to appeal. John M. Masselink, city sealer, and Judge Thos O. Snilth were seen In the sheriffs office and both answered the Tribune reporter's query as to whether or not they intended to appeal In (he same way, "I don't know." It Is thought, probable that the papers for an appeal are being prepared In each of the cases of of the 27, but if the sentences imposed by Judge Anderson a 'e not severe, is possible that severa'f of them will not take an appeal.

Shea have made preliminary arrangements for giving bond with Maurice B. Conelley, and James L. Keatch, of Indianapolis, the latter known as "the potato king," as sureties. Both were on the additional bond which Judge Anderson required Sheriff Shea to give when he and Judge Smith were placed under arrest during the progress of the trial for alleged interference with the government's witnesses.

Staple's First Effort.

It is said that Alexander Steele applied to Judge Anderson Saturday night when court adjourned until Monday morning, to be permitted to return to Terre Haute to visit his wife, whom he claimed to be sick. The court declined to allow him to go unless he secured the amount of bond previously fixed, and Steele presented a most disconsolate appearance as he started to Jail in charge of a deputy marshal. Mrs. Edward Driscoll, who was an attendant at the trial during Its closing days, heard Steele ask Judge Anderson to be released, and was very much affected at Steele's evident despair when his request was refused.

Earl Rood Assist*.

The letter carriers were unable to locate all the defendants to whom these letters were sent, and Earl Rood, who assisted the United States marshals in serving the original notices on them, cajne to the relief of the postoffice department. He had the correct list of those whom the carriers could not find and they were thus served with the notice to appear Monday morning. It is said the office of Chalmers Hamill. who assisted in the work of preparing the government case locally, was besieged all day Thursday by defendants who vrere anxious to learn whether or not th™ government paid the expenses to Indianapolis on a trip of this character.

The great majority of those who appeared as witnesses, and were entitled to mileage and per diem, it is said had their railroad faje advanced to them going to testify before the grand jury and during the trial, and expected the same treatment In the present instance. It Is said the government does not pay the fare, and some of them said they would he put to their wits' ends to raise the money to carry them over for Judgment.

Effect of Conviction.

lasts.

READING BRAND OF THE WORLD

vldes, however, that conviction carries with it ineligibility to hold any office of honor, profit or trust created hv t*«. constitution or laws of the United States. Some of the defendants, discussing this phase of the case, remarked that they didn't care whether it disfranchised them or not, as they never expected to vote a^ain at any election.

Knew Dailey's Wife.

Sheldon S. Anderson had an odd experience while attending the election trial at Indianapolis. He was placed in a seat adjoining that occupied by Mrs. Frank C. Dailey, wife of the district attorney, who was a regular attendant at the trial. They were introduced by a mutual friend and during the conversation that followed Mrs. Dailey learned that his former home was in Clinton. She spoke of having relatives in Clinton whom she had visited when a young girl. THien the relative's name was mentioned he recognized them as old friends of his. One question led to another and he learned that her maiden name was Fields. He asked her given name and she told him "Edna "What, Edna Fields," Anderson answered, "Why, hello Edna," and recc-lled an incident during a visit she had made to Clinton when she was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years, when he had taken her buggy riding. He leaned over to a son of Mrs. Dailey's, a young man, and said, "Why. I knew your mother, young man, a good many years before you did." He afterward learned that the district attorney is a member of the same college fraternity to which he belonged and the combination of circumstances made it possible for him to enjoy a pleasant time during his stay in Indianapolis.
