JtTNEVS SAY GOSSOM am POLICE 1 'EM

Beinbold Tells Drivers They Should Refuse to Register at City Hall.

"Following &o closely upon the injunction suit at Indianapolis and the visits of traction officials and attorneys to the mayor's office and the office of Chief Doyle," said President Philip Relnbold of the Central Labor union Saturday, "it looks like there is but on* conclusion to draw—the traction company has called upon Mayor Gossom to aid them In preparing their cue against the Jitneys. "I don't suppose that any additional suits will be filed now that the names have been learned, but If it comes to a point where the names of. Jitney drivers are wanted at Indianapolis, the police department will be prepared to supply them. "As a matter of fact, the boys were wrong: in going to headquarters when ao ordered. I never would have gone had I been a Jitney driver, and If I had known in time I should have instructed the boys not to go."

Jitney drivers seem to be^ of the opinion also that the names were wanted for use In the Indianapolis injunction case.

"I

really haven't any idea myself what the object was," said Harvey Sutliff, a jitney driver, "but I have heard a number of the boys say that there could bo no other reason in their estimation."

spent the day Friday calling saloonkeepers to testify that they contributed to the democratic campaign fund in 19l4. Some of them said they contributed to both democratic and republican funds, but Prosecutors Rucker and Roach objected to the defense asking about contributions to the republican fund, since no republicans have been indicted and such evidence could not have any effect in the case on trial.

Commenting on the case, the court reporter for the Indianapolis Times, who has been present at the trial from the start, and whose reports have all been absolutely without bias, made this comment in his published report Friday: "Discussion about the court room relates almost exclusively to the time it will take to present all the evidence of the prosecution. This discussion is caused by the dragging of the proceedings. The testimony of what were expected to be two star witnesses for the prosecution, and their failure to implicate Mayor Bell in anything unfair or Illegal, Is probably another cause for the discussion.

Hints at Sensation. •.

"Then there is the anticipated attack by the defense. Following the prosecution's evidence, It is expected a motion will be made to end the trial. But there are many whp think the defense will do what it can to prolong the trial in order to present evidence said to be far more sensational than anything yet presented by the state. It is possible, at the same time, that the state may prevent some of this from, getting before the jury."

The Indianapolis Star, which has also been publishing reports absolutely without bias, has this introductory paragraph In Its Friday report of the trial: "While introducing evidence at the trial of Mayor Bell yesterday to prove that saloonkeepers made contributions to the democratic campaign fund before the last election, Prosecutor Rucker disclosed also that saloort owners made contributions likewise to the republican county committee which worked for his own election as prosecuting attorney."

The Indianapolis News, which has not printed a fair report of a single day's proceedings since the trial began, made the declaration that not a single saloonkeeper who was called had said he contributed a cent to the republicans. All such funds paid to the democrats, and that have been testified to, were included in the committee's report, as the lav requires. Those given the republicans are entered as contributed by the solicitor who collected.

Friday, when Harry Farber, a saloonkeeper, said he had no recollection of any threats being made when he contributed to the democrats, Prosecutor Roach declared he was going to have him indicted for perjury.

the uncertainties of politics for the possibilities of war. It is not thought, however, that hostilities will follow immediately although it is generally belierved that a struggle between Greece and Bulgaria cannot be avoided eventually.

BULGARIA MAY WAIT.

Mobilization of Troops Thought May Cause Action. ROME, Sept. 24.—(via Paris)—Sept. 25.—Although it is admitted Bulgarian mobilization is a significant act capable of precipitating hostilities with Serbia, it is thought here events still may prevent Bulgaria from embarking upon so perilous an enterprise. Reports received from Bucharest insist that the Bulgarian mobilization order is considered in Rumania to presage hostilities. It is said that impressive anti-German manifestations there have resulted in the duke of MecklenburgSchwerin, personal representative of Eimporor William, haMenlng his departure for Berlin.

EUROPE IS PUZZLED.

Cannot Figure Out What Rumania and Bulgaria Mean. LONDON, Sept. 25.—As "a measure of elementary prudence," Greece has ordered the mobilization of her naval and military forces. Thus the action of Bulgaria in making military preparations has brought the last remaining Balkan state under arms, for Rumania, while not fully mobilized for some time, has had her troops ready for an emergency.

What plans Bulgaria really has in mind and what Greece and Rumania will do when these plans mature, are still matters for speculation.

May Decree Martial Law. PARIS, Sept. 25.—A Havaa dispatch from Athens says: "Parliament will be called upon at its sesion next Wednesday not only to proclaim martial law but to vote upon declaring a state of siege in Macedonia and other measures the situation may demand.

Big Chief Held.

Edward J. O'Leary, commonly called "Big Chief," one of the indicted men who pleaded guilty, was brought into the court room In a wheel chair. He said he was brought from a hospital, where he has toeen for some time due to a fractured hip.

O'Leary said he worked in the election at the request of William KisBel, a city contractor and co-defendant. He testified that he- sent in eight menfive at one time and three at another— to vote, after arranging with the olerk to vote them under instructions. He said he gave each "the price of a drink," ten cents. The witness testified that Kissel gave him $10.

The witness then said he went to (he labor temple in an automobile and took three men to the polls, but they were not permitted to vote. He said they did not live in the precinct.

When Kissel gave him the money, tho witness testified, Kissel said: "You know how to get them."

O'Leary testified he told Thomas Taggart he could control the union labor vote with a little money and that Taggart gave him $40. It developed that this was during the city election campaign and was stricken out

Didn't Get the Job.

The witness then told 'of a coriversa tion with Mayor Bell at the mayor's office in which the mayor, he said, told him he would have W. W. Spencer, election commissioner, appoint him Inspector of voting machines. He said he saw Spencer who said "He was full up." j,

O'Leary said he also told Maybf Bell that he had voted repeaters in past elections, and that Bell said "Do you as you have always done." He said he bought 15 repeaters in the last election, The witness said he had not talked with Taggart about the last election

Roach Wanted to Reefc.

When time for recess came, C. W. Miller was still cross examining the witness and Special Prosecutor Roach asked for a recess. "What*® your rush?" asked M. A. Ryan of defense counsel.

This man was brought here from the hospital and I asked for the recess in the name of humanity," retort6d Roach.

Miller frequently tried to pin the witness down to dates, but he would not try to give any definite time for the happenings he had related.

On re-direct examination, Prosecutor Rucker also tried to fix the date of O'Leary's conversation with Mayor Bell, but the defense objected and Ryan said: "It seems to mo the prosecutor has had enough to do with his school of perjury without trying to put answer® in the mouths of witnesses here in the court room."

There has been much Bald about perjury here," Roach said, "and there may be more, but it remains for the jury to decide."

D. J. McMahon of the English hotel bar testified that he gave $75 to William Dunkle, a co-defendant. Samuel S. Dunkle said he had refused to contribute to the democrats, "because I am on the other side of the fence."

J." J?r ft-W

Demurrer To Ordinance Says Council Has Exceeded Its Poweri— Calls It Confiscation.

Charging that the ordinance passed by the city counoll, undor which the city Is trying to force the traction company to place its wires and conduits under ground, is taull and void for twelve reasons, attorneys for the traction company, Saturday morning, filed a demurrer to the original complaint In the City Court.

The ordinance was passed by the council on November 29, 1913. They pharge that the council has no power to adopt such an ordinance that it has no authority by the general assembly of Indiana for the passage of the ordinance that It is unreasonable that it is not necessary for the promotion of public safety that the provisions are indefinite and uncertain that as provided by the ordinance there has been no written approval from the city engineer that subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance the poles were standing that there is no standard for the establishment of the ordinance that no franchise has been given the traction company for the placing of their wires under ground that the ordinance is void because it provides that all fines arising for violations of the ordinance be turned over to the city Improvement funds that the ordinance violates the constitution of the United States by taking property away without due process of law, and that it is void because it attempts to bestow legislative powers with the city engineer.

In the ordinance It provides that the city engineer should give a writ ten approval for the placing of all wires under ground.

The demurrer, if sustained, will have the same effect as throwing the case out of court, as the legal proceedings on which the complaint is based will have been swept away.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept 25.— Captain Franz "Von Papen, military attache of the German embassy, who is here with Prince Von Hdtzfeldt of the embassy, denied today that the expression "idiotic Yankees" contained in the letter entrusted to J. F. J./Archibald and intercepted by the British authorities was intended to apply to the American people. "The much discussed letter was to my wife," he said. "In passing it may be said that publishing a maa'i letter to his wife is deuced bad form. When the British authorities at Falmouth found these letters on Mr. Archibald, they pounced with avidity on the two words that have made all this trouble. rThey published only an. excerpt of my letter, thus, changing its. meaning entirely.. My wife or any 6ne els® reading the letter from start to flnlsh would have gathered that the expression 'idiotic Yankees' referred to the publishers of aNew York newspaper.

The newspaper had been calling us conspirators and other objectionable epithets. It grew especially vehement after a portfolia containing certain of our private papers had been stolen from one of our men on the train. In writing to my wife I dealt with these publications. Not a word did the Brit ish publish about these parts ol tRf letter."

Captain Franz Von Papen, military attache of the German embassy at Washington, and Prince Von Hatzfeldt, who are visiting this city, will leave next Tuesday for Mexico, it was an« nounced today. Both men maintain silence as to their exact destination and the object of their visit to tfce southern Republic. \p
