Glinnan’s Attorney Rehashes
Old Claims in Final Argument
on Motion to Quash Record
er’s Court Panel *
♦
CONVICTION, NOT FAIR
TRIAL, AIM, HE SAYS
Makes Much of Shepherd’s Ad
mission That Some Commis
sioners Acted Irregularly
Jameu McNamara, attorney for
Thoma.s K Olinuan, began liii« final
argument before Judge Phelan this
morning in support of his attempt to
have the present jury list quashed as
prejudiced. Me discussed the law iu
the opening of his argument, reiterat
ing hip authorities to prove that any
jury lists which was drawn from only
•part of the* terrtory is not legal.
y Vmnira attacked the arguments
ot prosecutor who admitted a few
irregular acts by individual members
of the jury commission. Shepherd
had said their actions were not rep
resentative of th« whole hoard. That
of no Importance, said Mc-
Namara. as the whole hoard was
hound by the action of Its members.
lit any case, he said, the board was
united in the determination to ex
clude saloonkeepers, politicians and
citizens oi the Eighteenth, (lllnnan's
v.vard.
Me Insisted, also, that there has
been colitis on between the prosecu
tor and the jury commission, not to
get better jurors, but to secure a con
\ iction.
The commissioners were used by
Prosecutor Shepherd in his effort to
get a change of venue, the attorney
claimed.
“Shepherd’s map of five districts.”
said McNamara, "was for the pur
pose of cutting out the wards as le*ui
entities, so they could not be prop
erly represented on the Jury list.
“Then a Anal act in this str.vige
proceeding, he went to the very men
who had contributed money for ihe
conviction of these men, the flaem
herw of the Board of Commerce and
put several hundred of them on tlffc
jury lists.”

DEPUTIES WORSE
THAN STRIKERS,
SOLDIERS SAY
Imported Mine Guards Blamed
For Bulk of Nightly Shooting
Incidents
NO HOPE OF COMPROMISE
IN INDUSTRIAL WAR
State Labor Officials Will Re
quest Ferris To Withdraw
Troops
CALUMET, Mich.. Aug. s.—Presi
dent Claude O. Taylor, of the Michi
[ gan Federation of Labor has given
up all hope of a settlement by arbi
tiation of the differffences between
copper mine operators and the West
ern Federation of Miners. “The strike
will remain entirely in the hands of
the Western federation,” declared
Taylor last night. "It resolves it sell'
simply into a question of endurance."
1 Possibilities for trouble in the cop
per country have been materially in
creased. according to citizens well in
touch with the situation, by the im
portation of armed ‘‘strike-breakers’*
by the mine operators. So far these
strike-breakers have ail been depu
tized by Sheriff Cruse, and provided
with revolvers.
The deputies are much disliked by
the state troops, who blame them for
the bulk of the promiscuous shoot
ing which takes place about the out
posts every night. Last night the
shooting broke out again and militia
men declare that fully two-thirds of
the firing was done by the special
deputies. Gen. Abbey lias issued or
ders that the troops take cognizance
of th euse of firearms by miners dep
uties as well as by strikers. This or
der, It Is feared, may lead to a clash
of authority between the military and
the officers of the law.
Officials of the Michigan Federation
of lAibor will petition Gov. Ferris for
the withdrawal of the troops, main
taining that no conditions exist which
cannot be handled by the civil au
thorities. Moreover, they will repre
sent that more trouble Is likely to
arise from the employment of the
imported miners* deputies than from
any other agency.
Lieut. Blazer, of Cos. G. Detroit, was
given permission to return to his
home last night, because of pressing
business duties.
The statements of the mine oper
ators that only a small portion of
their employes favor the union, were
not borne out yesterday when a call
was Issued for workmen at the Baltic
and Tri-Mountain group of mines.
One lone pumpman responded. Tn
Calumet, where a meeting of those
-bed to return to work had
been called, a union official ehtered
and called upon all those who pro
nosed to stand by the union to leave
the hall. More than two-thirds of the
men present responded.

Into Him
NEW JRK, Aug. s.—“lf I get out
of this, I can count a lot of new
graves in the cemetery," was the com
ment of William Lustig early today,
as he lay seriously wounded in
"Humpty” Jackson’s restaurant, fol
lowing a gang shooting, the details of
which closely resembled those mark
ing the killing of Herman Rosenthal.
At the Bellevue hospital it was stated
that although Lustig's wounds were
serious he would probably recover.
Lustig is a hr. .her of one of the
detectives attached to the office of
District Attorney Whitman. He is
said to have gained the enmity of
Jackson and “gangsters” because of
being suspected of giving information
to the authorities.
It was after midnight when Lustig
was seen on Third-ave. with a young
woman, headed toward Jackson's
place. Arriving there. Lustig hesitat
ed before entering, but the young wo
man took him by the arm and they
took a table near the door. Agninst
his protests the young woman sat fac
ing the door, according to the story
learned by the police. Then she ex
cused herself. A big black touring
car rolled up in front of the res
taurant. four men Jumped out and
while Lustig sat with his baeg to the
door the men directed the fire from
their revolvers upon him. Lustig fell
with three bullet wounds in his body.
The four men dropped their weapons
on the sidewalk, jumped into the auto
mobile, and. as the motor had been
kept running, dashed off before a
policeman, a half a block away could
make a move The young woman had
disappeared from tin* restaurant in
the meantime and no trace was found
of her. The police believe the shott
ing was planned some time ago and
declare they have enough Informa
tion to lead them to believe that mem
bers of the “Dopey Benny" gang are
responsible.

Intends that both resolutions hould be

! The mayor's latest street cai> com
! tnunication to the common council
follows:
To the Honorable the Common
C ouncil:
Gentlemen At my request,
Hon. Max Koch, city treasurer,
has prepared a statement showing
taxes in which the Detroit United
railway is delinquent. The report
reveals that the company owes
the city $439,734 in faxes, which
run from 1910 up to July I of this
year. In addition, there is due
the city for .the operation of
freight curs, entering and leaving
the city, the sum of sl(),t!sr», mak
ing the total amount in which the
company Is in arrears, approxi
mately a half million dollars.
In my judgment, the company
has been permitted to defy the
city long enough in this respect.
I see no reason why the property
of a workingman should be attach
ed when he becomes delinquent in
his taxes and a wealthy corpora
tion which defies our laws and offi
cials permitted to go unmolested.
Only yesterday, the company
protested because it understood
that it was not to receive police
protection. Vet It brazenly refuses
to pay its Just taxes towards the
support of the police and other
city departments. I recommend,
therefore, that your honorable
body instruct the city treasure*
to immediately attach available
property of the street railway
company, in collection of the de-
I linquent taxes. It requires no ar
gumeiiL | believe, to convince you
1 of the Justice of this suggestion,
i If smaller taxpayers are to be pun
ished by seizure of their property,
why should we not treat similarly
this company, which has permit
ted Its taxes to accumulate for a
period of more than three years"’
Respectfully.

Rumor That President and
Bryan’s Counsellor Have Brok
en, Is Persistent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. —Pending
| receipt o*" a report from his special
i representative, former Governor John
; Lind, of Minnesota, now enroute to
Mexico City, President Wilson will
■ take no further steps in the Mexican
situation. As the accredited agent of
the president, Lind will make a first
hand study of Mexican conditions. He
will report to the president just what
he finds. He will aid the Influential
Mexicans who are trying to bring
about peace. And if he is convinced
that their efforts will not succeed
then he will acquaint President Wil
son of that fact and the latter will
authorize Lind to offer the method of
mediation on president and
secretary of State Bryan have agreed.
Administration officials were very
hopeful today that peace was near in
Mexico They believe Lind is the
man who cun best reconcile the ap
parently irreconclliable differences
between the Mexican factions. He is
authorized to speak plainly to the
most Influential Mexicans and to en
deavor to get them to force conces
sions from the administration and Its
opponents.
Another matter to be investigated
bv l.lnd is whether the prohibition of
importation or arms from this side
of the border to both sides would
help The president has been inclined
to oppose this because the Huerta
government could easily get all of the
arms It wanted in Germany. But It
has been pointed out to him that
these arms would have to be landed
at Vera Cruz and that the railroad be
tween thut city and Mexico City Is
infested with rebels so that the prob
lem of getting them to headquarters
would he somewhat of a taßk. So the
proposition ot cutting off the entire
supply ojr its alternative, letting both
sides get all they can buy, is to be
investigated.
Therg was much discussion today
of the report that President Wilson
and John Bassett Moore, counsellor of
the s f ate department are at odds on
the Mexican question. Moore is said
to favor recognition of Huerta as the
strongest factor in Mexican affairs
