M BARGAIN PIES
-?
G. E. Davis, Agent of the McNa
maras, Confesses He Blew
Up Bridges at $200 Each.
HE TURNS ON THE UNION
Queensboro Bridge Was on His
List, but He Refused to Do It
Lest Men Be Killed?Many
Outrages Near Here.
George 1; I ?avis, alias George O'DOfl?
nell. the ???.-foot, red-headed, broad
shouldered and big-handed Piastern repr??
sentative of the McXamara brothers, who
ere now in San Quentin prison, a?-ross
UM bay from San Francisco, vus placed
under arrest yesterday morning In the
Hotel Breslln by Commissioner Shields.
After his confession he was hustled hack
to Indiana, headquarters of the dyna?
miters, by Marshal Henkel.
The confession of Davis, the federal
authorities here say. is one of the most
lemarkable they have ever received. He
not only confessed having blown up
twelve bridges and planned dynamiting
many others, but related many conver?
sations with John J. McXamara and his
representatives. He quoted alleged con?
versations with Frank M. Ryan, presi?
dent of the International Bridge and
Structural Iren Workers' I'nlon?the Mc?
Xamara association?and told of the
i price? he received for bridge and building
' destruction
Why Davis Cnfessed.
The fact that he was asked to pay dues
he considere.i i \? ?salve and thought his
?association was anxious to give him away
l?d him to confess, he said. To Rotiert
.1. Foster, a former Investigator o. the
National Erectors' Association, who ob
taine?! tin- ?"tifi ssion, and who has been
following l'avis for al out a year, he
said:
"I really got In bad cause I wouldn't
blow up ?he Rlackwell's Island Bridge
an?! cause the death of nearly twenty
men. The;- ?aid I was chicken-hearted."
As soon as the news of his arr.-st
reached Indianapolis a deputy I'nited
States marshal arrested Harry Jones,
secretary-treasurer of the McXamara as?
sociation, charging him with conspiracy.
Davis told of plotting with Jones. Charles
V. Miller, who prosecuted the McXa
maras and thirty-eight other officers of
the association in San Francisco, said the
facts in Davls's confession verified ;esti
motiy Riven then.
Davis confessed that he first blew up
a bridge at Trenton, X. J.. on December
23. 1907. and blew up Erie Railroad bridges
near Harris??n. N. .1. Frank C. Webb, a
member of the International, who-was
convicted as a conspirator at Indianap?
olis, told him. Davis ?aid. that McXa?
mara liad offered 1200 to have this Job
done.
Some of Davis'? Jobs.
February 3, 19?JS. he destroyed a draw?
bridge over Baychester Bay, at Pelhatn.
bv loosening clarnps which caused the
bridge to collapse.
March 25, IMs?, he dynamited the rail?
road bridge of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, near Bradshaw, Md He said
he was told he would get 13i)0 for the Jot).
The confession then related a talk 1'avl?
said he had with President Ryan In which
he declared Ryan said to him;
"If you keep that up you can call upfn
me any time for money. But If you ever
1 meet me on the street walk right by."
April 6. 1908. Davia blew up Pier 68,
North River, at 14th street. For that he
got 1200.
April 13, 1908. be dynamited material !n
the yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Philadelphia, staying in a saloon near
by until the explosion took place. When
he next met Webb, Wehb ??aid to him:
"There's lots of work In the Fast I'd
like to find out about," indicating place?
to visit and agreeing, according to the
confe?5lon, to pay Davis IS a. day and ex
pen sea.
tarrying eighty refunds of dynamite in
a suitcase, Davis then went to Fall River
and blew up a building, after wiring for
$0-0 from Jones, sewretary-treaaurer of the
organization.
May B. 1908. he. attempted to blow up a
?drawbridge over the Bronx River, but
?after a right with a watchman Davis arid
bis companion dropped the dynamite into
the river and fled.
The next night, however, Davis and his
companion blew up a bridge at Bayches?
ter. Davis said he blew up the piers at
Perth Amboy. N. J.. on March 2".. To do
It he was forced to telegraph for another
ease of "silk," as dynamita was called.
According to the confession, two days
later Davis met President Ryan and
Webb, who, he said, arranged for many
ether explosions.
June 4. 1908. Davis went to Somerset,
Mass., where he blew up the Taunton
River bridge. He was arrested in Fall
River, and. being convicted of assault,
wa? sentenced to three years in prison,
from which he wan released In March,
Uli.
How Davia Confessed.
Robert J. Foster ?aid that he, dressed.
an a laborer, found Davia "on a building
Job" in Pittsburgh on September 11 last.
He told Davis that he knew all about
Davls's history and advised him to con?
fess. Foster brought him to New York,
and in a little hotel in 32d street, near
Fifth avenue, they spent three nights
drawing up the confession.
As soon as I'nited States Attorney Mil?
ler was told of the arrest he hastened to
Washington, where he was closeted with
Attorney General McReynolds. Miller
said that McReynolds authorised blm to
So ahead with- prosecution?.
"The most significant thing about it."
said Miller. "Is that while the McXamara?
end other officers of the association were
on trial the association employed Davis
to ?tart a campaign of dynamiting to
?how the Jury that the McXamara? were
rot the only ones who us?-d dynamite.
They planned simultaneous explosions un?
der buildings and bridges In Omaha, San
Francisco, St. Ix>uls and Xew York, but
the plan fell through. It Is not Improb?
able that more plots are under considera?
tion.
Late last niitht it was learned that
Harry Jones was released on a 110,000
bend. Ills hearing being set for October 13.
The thirty-eight fellow unionists who
v,ere M-nteiiced list December to Leaven
north prison have appealed to the I'nited
State.?: 'ircult Court of Appeal? at Chi?
cago- Ab these appeals are to come up
this month, the Jones arrest and Davis s
confession are consldeied of gr?at lm

BENSEL'S PENSION SHOCKS
$3,500 a Year To Be Paid by
Health Employes.
As mii'h ?if ? ??hock t<i the employes of
tt.?- Department of Health as tit the te
tiremcnt on TTeflnceilOT of Dr. Walter
Ban?I, sanltaiy superintendent, a ??till
greater shock was In stoie f?.r them
This is one that will touch the purse
string** an I pockets of employes f..r som<
time to ? ?.me. unless th- Bensel pension
of 13,500 a year Is heM up.
For it is to that extent that \^v Dentil
will continuously reiplnd himself to fri? n,is
and foes in the tepttrUnent. Unlike some
city depnrttnenta, tint prenldod orer by
Health Commissioner Lederle maintains
its own pen.M<,n fond. The taxpayer at
?arge Is not the one to worry in this CM6
As one employe snld yesterday :
"Bensel is only ?wished' on us. We are
to be his meal tt? k? t '
Pome of the employes are nursing their
grudge In silente. They ate afraid to
protest if thej don't ?are t.. contribute
t,. I ?r. Bensel's pension thev need not d?.
so, but such a eourse. if pursned, would
mean their elimination from the pension
list, and some have been paying In fur
years.
"The nurae? and clerks." said an em?
ploye, "will pay mueh of the B? ?a?6l pen?
sion."
When nske/1 to explain the workings of
the pension fund In the department an
official yesterday said employes of the de?
partment who wanted to do so contri!.uted
1 per cent of their salary for that pur?
pose. At the expiration of twenty years'
service an employe could ask to l?e re?
tired at half pay. He ?aid. however, that
there was some provision In the charter
which gave the board ?>f truite??; power
to ?top a pension.
IRON ORE CORNER DENIED
?Geologist Tells of Rich Deposits
in Northern Brazil.
The most Interesting testimony at the
hearing yesterday of the govern ment suit
against the United states Steel ?*orpora
tion rame from William X. Merilam, ex- \
pert geologlM for the defendant ? ??ncern.
Havid Kpe?d. attorney for the Steel Cor?
poration, attempted to ahoai ?n ins dire**!
examination of the witness that a corner
In Iron ore was an a?*h!ev?ment next to
Impossible.
M,- led the witness AVt Into 6 dlscus
riOB Of the Iron deposits in the Lake Su?
perior region. Mr. Merrlam was sure that
new mining ground ?ould be developed
there. He said this region produced ?j8f?,
000,000 tons in 1912. i nd after the ship?
ment of this product r??maln?*d among the
very best ore lands In the world.
"Would It be possible to get a corner
In one In the district?" hi? Ural ask??!.
"An almost Impossible task. I imagine,'
he replied, "aa new ores would always be
coming up, and th<? only way to keep the
???.rner would be t<? ke?-p buying."
He was still more emphatic, however,
about the permanence of Competition aris?
ing fr?im the presence of ore lands which
he had examined Just north of -{io de
Janeiro, In Hrazll. He estimated the
available ore there at T.Mt.dtO.tdt ??r ?V
(Vii.,000,000 tons, one-fourth of It known
to be first ?lass. This ore, he said, could
be "laid down" In Philadelphia for *?4 SI!
a ton at the present rate of transportation
and Including the payment <?f the pro?
posed Brazilian export tax of 25 cents a
ton.

Industrial Future Bright, Says Pro
fe-isor Rathgen.
Professor Karl T. I", itatligcn, the
Kaiser Wilhelm Professor of Germanic
Institutions at Columbia University, de
Urered his first lecture yesterday after?
noon before a large audience. He spoke
on economics in Kent Hall. Professor
P.athgen said he was here not only to tell
what German economic resources w? n?,
but also to ?bar up misapprehensions as to
the nature ?if Germany's wealth and the
empire's economic position In the world.
Professor Hathgen sal?! Germany no
longer was a debtor nation, but now was
one of the greatest ?redltor nations In
the world, inasmuch as thousands o* mill?
ions of German money was invested in
enterprises in other countriea.
Germany, he assert??!, was the fastest
PWrlag Industrial country ?n the world,
and the present high position which It
had attained among the nations was only
an Indication of what It waa to be In the
future.

Ouxising sides!
' When from their own indi?
vidual ehoice, not only the
boys, but the whole family side
with you, it's a happy state of
affairs.
Yet that often happens
when it comes to choosing the
boys' outfit.
A boy likes to come here
because lie knows the best
dressed boy on his Mock
wears our clothing; besides, he
likes to get his clothes where
his Dad does.
The boy's mother approves
our soft of clothing?her more
critical eye detects the careful
making and the letter quality
woolens we always use.
The boy's father says "go as
far as you like." Tie knows
the bill will be moderate and
that his money is ?only on
deposit until he's satisfied with
the wear the boy gets out of
the clothes.
