SLUGGER REVEALS SYSTEM AT TRIAL "Sam" Fischer Says Gunmen in Chicago Could Be Hired for $50. By Associated Tress: CHICAGO. April 2S.

Fischer previously had testified that he had been employed by union officials to beat and cripple "scabs." lie named two of the men who are now cn trial Edwin K. Graves, international vice president of the union, and Roy Hull, business agent of the Chicago local a the persons who paid him and arslstant sluggers for their operations. "You could hear his o-kull pop half a block away," saiel Fischer in telling how a non-union man had been blackjacked close to his home. He explained in detail how the sluggers if they could not put a man in tho hospital for a month or two, crippled him so he would not be . able to work. "After we'd knocked him down," he said in speaking of one victim, "we kicked him on the head a couple of times and rapped him over the knuckles with a blackjack so he would not be able to work." " 'We want to make this guy an object lesson. Fix him right,'" he te?tifi-d Graves told him regarding another victim. " 'Get anybody who comes out of a shop," " w;s th order FisWier said that Graves gave him after the International vice president came to (Chicago to direct the strike, j "Did you comply with the order?" j he was asked.

Of ex-King Carl's Return To Exile

f t mi .1 tt" 5German Hopes Rise With Departure of British Ambassador By Associated Press: BERLIN", Apl. 2S The departure from Berlin of Lord D'Abernon, the British ambassador, presumably for a conference with the government at London over the confused clauses of the German proposals and possibly also to attend tho meeting of the oupreme council, La regarded by foreign diplomatic and German official and business circles as an indication of hopefulness that the situation may be adjusted on the basis of the German proposals. It is pointed out in this connection that tho Germans are virtually pledged to accept any decision rendered by Pres't Harding, or any change. or interpretations he may suggest, and the Germanr, are anxiously awaiting to learn whether tho allied powers will infeirm the president em what points the German proposals are' unacceptable. Lord D'Abernon's reputation in financial circles and the fact that he is known to have given the counter proposals careful attention has strengthened the impression that considerable importance attaches tei his visit to London. This impression was appreciably augmented, when it was learned that the American commissioner, Lorin Pressed, had a long conference with him Thursday. What Happened Answering the Latest Anti-City Manager Lie Opponents of the CommissionManager movement in South Lend aro circulating the story among workingnun that a resolution was forced through the council Monday i'.ight adopting the- City Manatrer plan of government without putting it to a vote of the people. THAT IS A LIE. What happened at the council Monday night was that the council, performing its eiuty. voted to submit the City Manager plan to the people. The process follows: Upwards of 3.700 ptople had petitioned the council to submit the question as to whether or not that plan should be adopted. Clerk Pilinski reported to the council that at least 2.23-5 of that number are voters; perhaps more of them. That number is more than 20 per cent of the number of votes cast atthe last city election. Thercfe-re the council was reejuired literally e'ompelled by law to call the election petitioned for which was set for June 25th. THAT IS THE TRUTH. Opponents of the City Manager plan, hoping to prevent such election, and to keep from the people the privilege of voting on the juestion. tried to keep the council from doing its worn duty under the law, but they didn't succeed. ... Now they are lying to the people about what happened; trying to make something else out of it. Kfforts are also being made to prevent the holdinc: of the election, by mandamus proceedings in the superior court. BEWARE OF THE ANTI-CITY MANAGER LIAR.

At the- l'rst McGannon trial he testitied that at that hour on May 7 h'-' was driving Mary K. Needy around the east end. Miss Needy, principal witness for th state eluring the- McGannon trials, and under indictment for perjury, testified at the former judge's first trial that she had trailed McGannon on the night of May 7 and that she taw McGannon with Kagy when the latter was shot. In the second trial he eh elared "Judge McGannon is innocent." Miss Needy confessed on the witness stand Tuesday that she perjured herself at McGannon's secon 1 trial "at the reuest of Judge" McGannon." She denied that she knew McCaffery or that she had e ver ridden in an automehile driven by him. The state's case Thursday was built ur of wiinwos who testified to the two different stories concerning the night of May 7 which were told by McCaffery at the two trials. The state e losetl its case after presenting 2 0 witnesses. Judge Maurice pernon was both jurist and Witney Thursday.

ALLIED POWERS SAY HUN OFFER UNACCEPTABLE

Official Announcement Withheld Aft er Presenting View to Hughes. NO SURPRISE SHOW N Refuse to Comment on Statements hy Lloyd George and Rriand. p.y Aforiatfd Pres: WASHINGTON. April 2. Diplomatic representatives of three of the allied powers Great Britain, France and ' Belgium, transmitted Thursday to Fec'y Hughes the viws of their government's with respect to Germany's reparations proposals. Official announcement was withheld, but it was understood that the secretary of state was informed that the German offer in its present form was unacceptable. Whether any suggestions were made that Germany be asked to put forward new and more liberal terms was not disclosed. It was emphasized officially, however, that the chie'f question at issue wa3 not whether tho proposals as such were acceptable to the allied government?, but whether they could he regarded as the basis for renewed discussions from which satisfactory terma might eventuate. Maintain Silence. Administration officers still maintained silence as to the form of reply that would be made to the German communication, but it was learned that none had been prepared Thursday night. Sec'y Hughes had not yet heard from the Italian and Japaneso governments, whose envoys he received on Tuesday after the German proposals had reached Washington. Whether a reply will be delayed until word comes from Rome and Tokio remains to bo developed. Since the German offer is to be considered at the meet of the allied supreme council on Saturday, there were suggestions in some quarters that the American reply might be held up pending some further decion by tho premiers. While admittedly without official Information, othera believed that the messages delivered to Mr. Hughes Thursday had been of such a nature as to enable tho American government to (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) BEGIN PROBE OF ALLEGED MURDERS Ask Investigation of Brutal Treatment of Negroes by Ni'sht Riders. ly Associated Tress: ATLANTA.
