Langdon Takes Up Dynamite Case
GRAND JURY TO PROBE
SHIPMENT OF EXPLOSIVE
District Attorney Has Busy
Day With Colby and
Detectives
SECRECY MAINTAINED
Cornelius Declares It Was
He Who Demanded
an Investigation
It is probable that when the grand
Jury meets on Monday it will take ;up
the Investigation of the shipping of
feven clicks of dynamite from San Ma
te© last Friday to the home of the
GJynn brothers, members of the car
men's union in this city. District At
torney Langdon was suddenly called
Into the case yesterday morning, and he
kept In close touch with Detectives
Ryan and ODea, who spent the greater
part of the day accompanying President
Cornelius of the carmen's union around
town.
Langdon hurried to the hall of jus
tice in an automobile last night, and
for more than an hour was closeted
with Captain of Detectives Colby. When
they emerged from the room they
maintained absolute secrety, but ad
mitted that the dynamite case had as
pumed large enough proportions ' to
merit a thorough investigation.
Cornelius returned home late last
nisrht. He stated that It was he who
laid the matt-er before Langdon. with
the request that it be taken up by the
jrrand Jury. The union president de-.
nled that he was under surveillance by
the detectives and intimated that the
United Railroads had put up a job on
him.
There was a wild rumor afloat last
night that Cornelius was In the custody
of the police, being held on the deti
nue book. But he arrived * home In
a buggy shortly after 11 o'clock and
there were no sleuths watching his
house.
"Yes. I will admit that I. was called
out of the courtroom this morning
to take up the Investigation of.theal
leg-ed dynamite case." said Langrdon,
"but further than that I have nothing
to say. I have called upon Captain
of Detectives Colby, who has promised
to give me all the aid that he ccn in
the matter."
**I laid the matter before "Mr. Lang
don myself," said Cornelius. "If the
United Ralroads is bent on putting up
such a job on the carmen's union it Is
time that the public should know the
whole facts. I therefore asked ' the
district attorney to have the matter
investigated by the grand Jury, and he
has promised to take it up immedi
ately.
'"The story that I offered money to
find out certain things in connection
with this alleged dynamite plot is
ridiculous. A chauffeur named Handy,
employed by the United Railroads,
came to me and asked me for enough
money to send *Im to Salt Lake. He
told me that if I would give him the
money he would tell me the . whole
«tory of the plot laid by the company.
I did not have any money to eive him
or anybody else, and I simply scoffed
at the man's offer."
Captain Colby refused to discuss
the matter at a!L - He would not even
admit that Detectives Ryan and ODea
had been out during the greater part
of the day with Cornelius. The
sleuths did not put in an appearance
et the hall of justice during the day
or night. They are believed to be
\u25a0working on an. important clew.
TRACY MAKES REPORT ON
LAUNDRY COMPROMISE
Tells Labor Council That
Union Fares Well in
Proposal
One of the most important matters
that came up before the labor council
last night was the report of Delegate
George A. Tracy of the conciliation
committee that is striving to effect a
settlement between the laundry work -_
ers and the owners. He stated thatra
subcommittee waited on the laundry
owners and obtained from them a com
promise proposition to the effect that
rhe union shall enter Into a three year
contract to work 51 hours a" week
during the first year. SO hours the sec
ond year, 49 hours the first six months
and 48 hours the last six months of the
third year.
"This is not an eight hour day, nor an
fight and a half hour proposition," said
Tracy, "but it means that the workers
should put in so many hours each week
at the discretion of the owners and that
the work shall be done daily between
7 o'clock In the morning and -5" o'clock
in the afternoon. We believe that un
der present conditions this is a very
fair compromise, and we urged the
laundry workers very strongly to ac
cept the proposition."
The matter will be acted upon at a
meeting of the laundry workers Sun
day afternoon in Dolores hall, at 1
o'clock.
Grant Hamilton addressed the council
at some length on the subject of' the
conditions In Goldfleld. Xev.
"The committee on labor day reported
that arrangements were being . made
for the parade. * The committee will
have another meeting ' a week from
next Thursday.
The gas workers, No. 9840, will 'give

The cigar, makers reported having
decided to levy an assessment of Jl per
capita for the aid of the carmen. I The
union challenged any ball . team * to ; a
benefit game. Electrical union No. 151
accepted the challenge. This union,, at
its last meeting, donated $100 to the
carmen.

LA MAR MAY BE SAVED BY
DETECTIVE'S TESTIMONY
Graham Says That Strike
Breaker's Gun Had Not'
I Been Discharged
INQUEST OVER WALSH
Jury Recommends } Prosecu
tion, But Not for
: Murder • '-
The Inquests over the remains.. of
James Walsh and John Buchanan, the
men who were shot during ; the.. car
riots on May 7, were held by iCoroner
Walsh before a jury yesterday, aiter
noon. In the case of Walsh,' the jury
brought, in;. a verdict*,- recommending
that Jesse La Mar, the strike breaker
accused of the Idling, be. held for trial
in the; criminal: courts,: but refusing to
charge him with murder.: The jury
reached the conclusion -that Buchanan
came to his death "as the result of a
gun shot wound inflicted by; a person
or persons. unknown." . r . i
E. S. -Ford, an eyewitness to to tha
shooting of Walsh,' arid Detective George
Graham were -the principal witnesses.
Ford swore ; that he was standing near
the corner of Turk and Jones- streets
when . the tragedy occurred and : . that
after several shots had been fired. from
the rear platform of the last car, some
one threw a brick at the car and La
Mar deliberately fired once at Walsh.
The victim fell dead.
The testimony aft Graham failed to
substantiate the fact that La Mar fired
the shot. He said that he was in the
office of Chief Dlnan with several other
detectives when the firing began and
that, the chief, Captain Colby and
others hastened to the scene.
La Mar was arrested when he arrived
at the Turk and Fillmore barn, aby
etander named M. C. Irving having
pointed out the strike breaker, whose
face and head "were badly cut from
flying glass and stones. Graham . said
that La. 'Mar wore a. .38 caliber re
volver straped outside his coat and that
when the weapon was examined' lt con
tained six cartridges. Upon cross ex
amination Graham declared that he
would not swear that the revolver had
been discharged. To the best of his
knowledge, he eald, it had not been, j
When the jury. In charge -of Fore
man Frank T. Bowers, heard Graham's
testimony, it refused to charge La Mar
with the murder of Walsh, but recom
mended that "he be held 'for -trial'' in
the criminal courts."
Thpre were no eyewitnesses, to the
killing of Buchanan, who was. sup
posedly shot from inside the Turk and
Fillmore streets barn by strike breakers
The Jury could therefore not fix re
sponsibility for the fatality.
STRIKER PLEADS GUILTY
August Boussetol Admits Disturbing
Peace arid Is Fined $10 :
August Boussetol, , a striking car
man who was . arrested in Valencia
street on Wednesday' by . Policemen
Cooney and Harper for shouting insults
at the motorman and conductor of a
car, pleaded guilty, before Police Judge
Weller yesterday and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $10. with the alternative
of 10 days , In , Jail. Attorney T. M.
O'Connor, representing the United Rail
roads, suggested to the judge -that the
$500 offered by. the carmen's union: for
the arrest and conviction of any mem
ber of the union causing a disturbance
should be turned over to. the police de
partment to secure adequate police pro
tection from the ; union pickets en
camped around the carbarns of the
company. This, he said; would greatly
add to the peace and quiet of, the; city.
\u25a0John Braney's ball of $20 was/forf
felted by Police Judge Cabanlss, the
defendant failing to appear to answer
to a charge of -battery.-.: The 'bail' of 'ss
of William -F.: Metcalfe,' charged with
battery, was also* forfeited. Tony Dez
erlllo and 1 John Dezerlllo were each
fined $5 for disturbing the peace.' , . :
Orchette Rodolfo, a teamster,, was
tried'before a' Jury in Judge Cabaniss*
court on > a/ charge of battery and the
Jury disagreed. It stood eight. for con
viction.; and i four for acquittal. ' The
foreman 'f- submitted ' two verdicts, that
of .the majority for conviction^ and of
the minority for. acqulttaL; Rodolfo
will be tried ' agalnl '; \ On ; the ; afternoon
of May 7, it is alleged, he threw. a»rock
at Mounted Policeman Mann, lie was
charged with assault . with a deadly
weapon, but when Mann ,said : that it
was not the rock thrown/ by Rodolfo
that hit him the charge was changed to
battery.
