HORN IS WILLING
TO BE SCAPEGOAT
Richmond Pastor Says He
Will Prove Neither He Nor
Brother Is Bigamist
Preacher Gives More of Life
History, but Is Vague
on Details
Declaring that lie would be a scape
goat for his brother's sins and would
vindicate the entire family of bigamy
charges, Rev. Frank Horn, pastor of
the First Baptist church of Richmond,
yesterday related a few more Incidents
of his life history.
He and his much talked of but still
invisible twin brother were brought up
in Colon, a small town in Jowa, he
said, the location of which he could
only faintly describe. He could not
remember the name of the county. The
town is not listed in the postal guide.
"T will be my brother's keeper," Is
the statement he Issued through the
bars of the Contra Costa county jail
in Martinez. "I shall submit to the
bigamy charges which should really
be aimed at him, and I expect to prove
that neither Is guilty. I have no fear
of the result."
MOTHER AND SISTKR ARRIVE
Thus the man who is accused by
Mrs. Eva Mac de Tovrea of San Fran
cisco of having married her when he
had another wife living, replied to in
quiries about his plans for defense.
His mother, Mrs. Eva Mclntyre, who
arrived in Martinez Monday with her
daughter, Martha Mclntyre, from Port
land. Ore., went to Richmond late that
evening, in company with Mrs. Pellen
Church, with whom Horn boarded.
Mrs. Church denied that Mrs. Mc
lntyre or her daughter were staying
wiih her, and said she did not know
where they were. Attorney A. J.
Clark of Richmond virtually admitted
that the Mclntyres were staying in
Richmond. He said he had filed in
court a demand that the suit for big
amy be dismissed, since five days had
elapsed without arrangements being
made for trial.
"'The last time I saw my twin brother
was several months ago in San Fran
cisco," said Horn. "I believe he is in
Mexico and may not have seen a news
paper for months or have heard that
anything had happened to me. We
were never intimate, and so when he
did not come over to Richmond to see
me the day after I saw him in San
Francisco as he had promised to do,
I was not surprised.
MOTHER IDENTIFIES HER SON
"When we were boys in Colon we
look so much alike that the teacher
was often deceived. I have seen him
but seldom of recent years. When I
was east last year r went around to
visit the town but it was almost de
serted."
Horn insisted that his brother could
be identified by means of scars on his
left cheek made when he was 12 years
old. Horn's mother identified him as
her son Frank by a scar on the back
of his head, which both agreed was
the result of a kick by a horse.
CITY TO MAINTAIN TEAMS
Supervisors Plan to Reduce Present
Expenses of $300,000 Each Year
Chairman Murdorek of the supervi

ized yesterday to take up with Presi
dent Judell of the board of works the
proposition of the city owning its own
teams and thus cut down the expense
for work now hired at a cost of $300,
--000 a year. Another plan will also be
discussed of continuing the hiring sys
tem under an arrangement for com
petitive bids instead of on a patronage
basis. Director E. R. Zion of the effi
ciency bureau was requested to inves
tigate the problem of rearranging
matters so that all municipal employes
can enjoy one day's rest in seven, as
suggested by Supervisor A. J. Gal

factory at Trenton, N. J., that the com

in the automobile racing game, and
that for the coming season its team
would be made up of Ralph de Palma,
Caleb Bragg and Spencer E. Wishart.
During the 191- season the Mercer
cars captured more races than any
other make of car that competed and
established its right to the title or the
champion small car of the world. This
year it will defend its laurels by one
of the most formidable racing teams
In the game.
De Palma, Bragg and Wishart have
all distinguished themselves in the
biggest automobile racing events that
have been pulled off ln America and
they expect to figure prominently in
this season's winnings as the speed
and endurance qualities displayed by
the Mercer in last year's events make
them regard the car as the peer of the
smaller type of racing machines built
by either American or foreign manu
facturers.

DAMAGE TO CRUISER
INCURRED IN HAWAII
California's Smash in Side
Not Serious, Unofficial,
Inquiry Shows
(Special Dispatch to The Call)
MARE ISLAND. Jan. 27.—That the
damage to the cruiser California is not
so serious as first reported, and that
whatever It may turn out to be it was
not suffered anywhere on the Pacific
coast, but In Hawaiian waters nearly
a year and a half ago. Is the result
of an unofficial inquiry today.
Captain Alexander Haistead is ab
solved from responsibility in the mat
ter of the damaged plate, or plates, and
the dents are supposed to have been
made-when Captain Charles H. Harlow,
retired, was in charge of the ship.
A former member of the California's
crew, who worked in the fireroom, is
reported to have said that while the
vessel was at Pearl harbor more than
a year ago she leaked slightly. It
was thought at the time that some
of the rivets of her double bottom had
sweated or that a plate had buckled.
The leak was reported at the time
to Admiral Southerland, who is now
in command of the Pacific squadron. A
naval board of inquiry made a report
to the department at Washington.
A dispatch from San Diego quotes
Admiral Southerland as saying that the
damage to the ship was known to the
department for a long time.
Admiral W. H. H. Southerland, com
mander of the Pacific fleet, on board
his flagship, the Colorado, at Ban Diego,
this morning characterized reports ef
the extent of the damage as "gross
exaggerations."
"In the time that the department has
known of the dent," said Admiral
Southerland, "the cruiser has been
thoroughly examined and pronounced
capable of extensive cruises, and she
has made them. The injury to the
hull is by no means such as to cause
especial comment."
It has been surmised, according to
navy officers, that either at Honolulu
or Mare island the hull of the criuser
was subjected to strong. steady
pressure by some vessel that came
alongside, and that the dent, which
Admiral Southerland says is not 100
feet long, was the result. An investi
gation is not expected.
The accident to the cruiser occurred
before Admiral Southerland became
commander of the Pacific fleet, but just
how or when no one, it is stated, seems
to know. Captain Harlow may be
summoned to Mare island to testify.

CIVIC FEDERATION
HEAD PLEADS TOR
TRADE UNIONISM
Philosophy of Craft Organi
zations Opposed to So
cialist and I. W. W.
Theories
(Special Dispatch to The Call)
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—The first ses
sion of tho thirteenth annual meet
ing of the National Civic federation
convened today at tho Hotel Astor,
and it was one of the most important
and interesting meetings ever held by
the organization.
President Seth Low made his an
nual report during the morning hour,
in which he exhaustively discussed the
labor situation in this country. The
chairmen of departments, including
August Belmont; John Hays Hammond,
Alton B. Parker, Emerson McMillan
and William R. Wilcox made addresses.
President Low said ln part:
LABOR DIFFERS IN OPINION
"I venture to think that to the aver
age farmer and even to the average
business man. and, perhaps, even to
the average newspaper writer, the
American Federation of Labor, the so
cialist party and the Industrial Work
ers *©f the World are substantially
identical. They are looked upon in
common as frequent disturbers of the
peace and as most regrettable inter
rupters of the even course of Ameri
can Industry.
"It will probably ,be a surprise to,
any one In this state of mind to be
told that each of these organizations
holds a radically different philosophy
on labor questions, and that they also
differ in the ends at which they aim.
"The aim of the American Federation
of Labor is constructive. It recognizes
that the private ownership of prop
erty is an evolution that has marked
the progress of civilization from the
beginning of time. It, therefore, does
not quarrel with the present industrial
system because the Instruments of pro
duction are in private hands; but it
alms constantly to improve the con
dition of the workers under the exist
ing system.
FEDERATION IS CONSISTENT
"The philosophy of the American
Federation of Labor is entirely con
sistent with the present organization
of industry the world over, on the basis
of private ownership.
"The socialist party frankly seeks to
overthrow the present organization of
industry in private hands and to sub
stitute for the private ownership of
the agencies of production and distri
bution, ownership and operation by
the state.
"The socialist party, as such, seeks tp
accomplish the overthrow of the exist
ing order, peaceably, If possible, and
by political methods, but none the less
It seeks to bring about revolution.
SOCIALIST PARTY DESTRUCTIVE
"As distinguished from the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, therefore, I
call the socialist party a destructive
party, and not a constructive party.
"The Industrial Workers of the
World have an aim which is different
from the aim both of the socialists and
the American Federation of Labor and
because their aim is different, the meth
ods which they advocate are different.
"The philosophy of the Industrial
Workers of the World is that the
agencies of production and distribution
do not belong to those who now own
them or to the state, but that, of right,
they belong to the workingmen, who,
they claim, are the creators of all
wealth. This being so, they believe
that the workers should seize them
themselves and operate the agencies of
production, and distribution. To this
end they believe in direct action, as
distinguished from political action.
APWS OF INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
"They propose to organize the work
men, if they can, not by trades, but. as
they say. by industries. This industrial
union, as they call it. would be a union
comprising all the employes of a given
establishment, so that, in case of a
strike, the entire establishment could
be tied up.
"They favor strikes, not for the pur
pose of improving the condition of the
workingman, but for the purpose of
breaking down the wage system.
"They believe that workmen should
deliberately attempt to make produc
tion and distribution through private
agencies impossible. Accordingly, they
favor 'sabotage,' and any other means
which may be available to make pri
vate Industry impossible under existing
conditions.
PHILOSOPHY IS DESTRUCTIVE
"The philosophy of the Industrial
Workers of the World is destructive
like the philosophy of the socialists'
because, before they commence con
structive work, they must first of all
destroy what Is, which is exactly what
they wish to do.
"But their aim differs from the aim
of the socialists in this important re
spect, that the socialists wißh to sub
stitute state ownership for rfrivate
ownership, while the Industrial Work
ers of the World wish to substitute
ownership by workingmen for owner
ship by capitalists. Against these two
destructive programs the American
Federation of Labor and the great rail
way brotherhoods so far stand like &
rock.
"The methods of the Industrial
Workers of the World are frankly rev
olutionary, as their act Is revolution
ary, and when this is understood it is
easy to understand also the measures
which they support.
"Industrial unionism, therefore is
full of danger, both for the workmen
and for their employers, if the aim is
to advance the welfare of both through
profitable industry.
"If. on the other hand, the desire is
to make industry impossible, under
modern conditions, industrial unionism
may or may not prove to be well adapt
ed for the purpose. Both workmen and
their employers should clearly under
stand what is involved in this new
departure.
GREAT BODIES NONSOCIALISTIC
"So far in America, the great body
of the American Federation of Labor
and of the great railway brotherhoods
are distinctly nonsociallstic.
•The unceasing effort of the social
ists in America, and of the Industrial
Workers of the World, is to change all
this. If the employers of America wish
to strengthen the forces in the labor
world that are not seeking a revolu
tion, they can do so by working with
the trade unionists to bring about con
stantly improving conditions for their
employes.
"The socialists and the Industrial
Workers of the World are preaching
everywhere a class struggle and pro
claiming from the housetops that the
workman and his employer have no in
terests whatever ln common. j
"All honor to the American working
men who, in the face of such persua
sion and denunciation, decline to ac
cept the doctrine of a class Struggle,
as if the citizenship of the Unite-
States either is or should be broken up
into classes.
Speaking of the pending trouble
between the locomotive firemen and

the railroads and the firemen both
sides are willing to arbitrate all their
differences, but the firemen demand
that the arbitration shall be carried
on as contemplated by the Erdman act,
so that witnesses may be sworn and
perjury punished, if it shall tafce place;
while the railroads stand for an ar
bitration, such as was held by the
agreement with the engineers.
FIREMEN ARE RIGHT
"In this controversy I think the fire
men are entirely right in demanding
arbitration under the Erdman act. I
think the American people are not
only willing that railroad employes
should be paid good wages; I think
the people are desirous that such
wages should be paid.
"I also believe that the people are
entirely willing that higher freight
rates and higher passenger rates
should be allowed by the interstate
commerce commission, if necessary, to
allow good wages to be paid to rail
road employes.
"The trouble is that, up to this time,
the railroads have not been able to
convince either the Interstate com
merce commission or the public
that they are not able to pay
such wages without the Increase
in freight rates and passenger rates.
When the railroads can make that
demonstration I expect to see higher
freight rates and higher passenger
rates allowed.
DYNAMITING CONDEMNED
"I commented a year ago upon the
McNamara trials and convictions. It
is not necessary to repeat what I said
then. This year more than forty men
connected with the International
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
have been tried and convicted in the
United States court for a conspiracy
involving the illegal transportation of
dynamite, which dynamite was said to
have been used in connection with the
long series of explosions that startled
the country when the crime of the
McNamaras became known. As presi
dent of the National Civic federation
I want to say that the illegal use of
dynamite, or any resort to violence
on the part of either of a labor union,
of labor leaders or of labor men, must
be unsparingly condemned by every
good citizen.
"No body of men in the country is
so much interested in denouncing these
methods as the organized trades unions
of the country, for these methods were
a betrayal of all that the American
Federation of Labor stands for."
A MBW PROFESSION
Welfare work, the new profession,
was exploited by William R. Wilcox,
head of the welfare department of the
organization. The report told what
had been accomplished by the federa
tion ln improving the condition of
workers in department stores, factories
and hotels.
The report of the committee on re
form ln legal procedure presented by
Alton B. Parker, urged the federation'
to oppose a joint congressional resolu
tion providing for determination by
popular vote of the question whether
an unconstitutional act should stand
as law when the United States su
preme court declared it unconstitu
tional.
The committee favored a senate bill
making it a misdemeanor for senators,
representatives or delegates to receive
compensation or to act as counsel ln
matters where the United States might
be 'interested.

RAILROADS STATE
THEIR POSITION
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—Objection to
arbitration 'under the Erdman act is
set forth in a statement tonight
through Ellsha Lee, chairman of the
managers' committee, by the 54 eastern
railroads, whose firemen are taking a
strike vote, because of a split over
methods of arbitration of the firemen's
wage and other demands.
The act was drafted, the roads de
clare, to "settle labor disputes on sin
gle railroads, not on all the railroads
of a large territory." The firemen in
sist upon Erdman law methods to set
tle the dispute.
"The objection to the Erdman act."
says the statement, "Is apparent from
a statement of what the* act plans,
namely, that arbitration shall be by a
committee, one appointed by each side
and a third by the other two, or else
by Judge Knapp and Commissioner
Neill. The whole decision is in the
hands of one man. It is too much
power for one man to have.
"The neutral members of a wage ar
bitration affecting railroads represent
the public. It Is the interests of the
public, along with their employers and
their own, that the railroads are en-
Meavoring to protect. They maintain
that the engineers' arbitration board
was right in saying: 'The most funda
mental defect of the Erdman act is
that the interests of the public are not
guarded by it.'"
