BURNS MUST
TELL STORY
Detective Burns Arrested in Indiana
polis Must Tell Grand Jury What
He Knows—Friends Will Try To
Have McNamara Taken Back.
(IJy United Press Leased Wire.)
INDIANAPOLIS. April 26. —
Determined to fight to the last
ditch for John J. McNamara, in
ternational secretary of the Struc
tural Ironworkers, accused of in
spiring dynamite explosions in
Los Angfles, labor leaders here to
day launched a plan to undo the
so-called "kidnaping" of McXa
mara and force his return here
from the California city.
Acting on advice by Clarence
Darrow, whose work acquitted
Moyer, Hay wood and Pettibone of
charges of inspiring the assassi
nation of former Qov. Steunen
berg of Idaho, telegrams were
sent to Congressman Korbly and
•Senators Shively and Kern of In
diana asking them to introduce
resolutions in congress to inves
tigate the details of the manner
In which McNamara was spirited
out of Indianapolis and rushed
to the west.
Burns to Tell AH.
As a part of this plan. Detec
tive William J. Burns, who was
arrested here last night, charged
ROYS LEANED TOWARD
IN CONTESTS WHERE PUBLIC FIGURED, PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMISSIONER FOUGHT ON OTHKK SIDE.
Two main elements entered into the present recall which
is on in Tacoma, and both may be laid at the door of L. W. Roys,
commissioner of public safety. They were his pandering to public
service corporations and the vice syndicate.
The first clash with the people that came in the commission
was last spring, when Fern Hill was battling heroically for her
Just five cent fare. In this crisis it was suddenly discovered
that Roys was having secret conferences with B. 8. Grosscup of
the street car company. «
Then the final test came when Fern Hill again showed a dis
position to refuse to be imposed upon by the Stone-Webster syn
dicate. They refused to pay more than five cents, the company
stopped the cars and another blockade was on. The mayor got
up and went out and compelled the company to run its cars into
town on one morning. That same day Chief of Police Malony
was given orders by Roys not to permit the mayor to have any
more policemen.
But that was not all. Roys
gave it out that if the people of
Fern Hill made any trouble on
the line he would jail the whole
bunch. This brought Fern Hill
to the city hall in a drove and
they gave Mr.. Roys a bad halt
hour In an interview.
Roys continued to .play into the
hands ot the street railway com
pany. He was in daily confer
ences with Manager Bean and
Grosscup, and the outcome of It
all was that the people were trick
ed into giving up the program
they had laid out and It was a
, long time afterward that the
fight was finally won when they
at last started in again on the
same plan they had pursued be
fore.
The whole contest served, to
open the eyes of the city to the
fact that there was one man on the
city commission who was for the
street car company and against
the public.
Against Low Fare.
It then was ' discovered that
Roys was absolutely against five
cent fare for Fern Hill. Before
the election, In a conversation
with citizens in the Bunch of
Grapes restaurant, where he takes
his meals, he said the "settlement
ordinance" never intended that
five-cent fare should be given to
outlying territory that came into
the city after this ordinance was
passed. To prove bis conten
tion that Fern Hill should not
have {Ive-cent fare, he said:'
f "Why, supposing I made a cbn
| tract with a grocer to rurnlsh
groceries for my family for so
much a month, when there were
hut two in the family. Then
supposing later we had three or
four children, do you suppose the
grocer would be compelled to still
furnish the family for the same
moneyT"
That was the Roys argument
against Fern Hill flve-cent. fare.
Aed his attempt to -save ttao
street car oompany from doing
what the courts later said they
-must do and what the people
themselves forced even before the
court spoke, was what started the
movement for recall. Had the
six months immunity been up

with having inspired McNamara's
kidnaping, was taken before the
grand jury today and is expected
to reveal to these lnqulßltorg in
full the developments which led
to the removal of Mc.Vamara. It
is probable that the grand jury
will first hear all evidence from
Burns regarding the alleged find
ing of dynamite before consider
ing the kidnaping proper.
Legal experts here declare that
Darrow's .plan to force the return
of McNamara from Los Angeles
is entirely feasible. The fact
that it is not contended that Mc-
Namara was in California at all
at or immediately prevlouß to
the explosion at the Los Angeles
Times, which crime he is accused
of plotting, will, they say, prove
a big obstacle to the Burns'
forces efforts to force the labor
leader to trial in the California
courts.
Darrow's contention will be
that, as McNatnara's rights have
been invaded, it is only just that
he should be restored to his posi
tion before the law prior to that
Invasion.
Roys would have been recalled
then.
Later developments in the city
hall merely served to show that
Roys was tied hand and foot to
the special interests.
He opposed the ordinance to
compel the street car company to
pay five per cent, of Its freight
receipts to the city Instead of
two ,per cent.
He voted agalnts the municipal
dock, even after the people had
voted for It.
Almost Recalled.
He voted against the municipal
A. D. T. corporation to pay five
per cent, of Its gross receipts to
the city. He denounced the
mayor when the latter tried to
compel the street car company to
give service and said' the move
ment was a grandstand play, even
when the mayor was having Cliff
avenue given back to the people as
a good street fey removing
one track from the roadway.
Every ordinance and every res
olution brought up to better street
railway conditions Roys denounc
ed and most of them he (ought
frantically to have killed off.
So notorious was his alliance
with the corporations that charges
were -ready to file against aim
for the recall the day the six
months' immunity were up, and it
was only headed off by Roys go
ing home the day before, Haying
he was sick. When he came back
and the agitation for the recall
was renewed, his friends began
hammering the mayor and rest
of the commission to distract at
tention of the people and try to
make them forget Roys. It was
all cleverly planned and executed;
it worked as far aa getting the
mayor went, but the people have
not forgotten Roys and indica
tions point to the fact that they
will show a good memory on hi*
record next Tuesday.
The splitting up of the opposi
tion may enable him to get Into
the second race, but If there Is
anything like unanimity of action
on the part of his opponents
among the voter*, he will not even
get a chance to ran the second
time.

PARKER WOULD
ENFORCE LAW
CLARENCE PARKER.
Clarence Parker, member of
the commission which drew up the
compensation, bill Is expected to
make a strong run against Com
missioner Roys. Parker is a union
man and came within seven votes
of being elected councilman at
the last election.
Mr. Parker, although he has
opponents as has every contestant,
should legitimately receive labor
support, as he has for years been
a strong union man. His work on
the commission entitles him to
consideration of all those who
believe In protection of persons
employed in manual labor.
Parker is one of those who has
declared against toleration of the
restricted district, and is ready to
stand or fall as a result of his con
victions.
Mr. Roys, the present inoum
bent, Is in favor of allowing the
vice district to run open. The
election will hinge largely upon
what the public thinks is best as
regards this feature of municipal
life that resulted in the recall of
Hi Oill at Seattle.
The Times believes that Mr.
Parker, If elected, will prove sec
ond to none of the candidates now
running In execution of the duties
imposed upon him. He Is a man
of the people, he stands for law
enforcement and possesses the
courage to carry out hia convic
tions In no uncertain way.

Commissioner of Public Safety Aspirants Appear at
Meeting of Women, Mrs. Bhores Would Like to Be
a Policeman.
St. Luke's parish lioim.. meeting yesterday afternoon was a
hummer. The candidates for public safety commissioner had been
called by the women, and to a man they responded. The women
were fair In their questions and their treatment of the candidates.
As for the candidates they endeavored to the best of their ability;
to ihow just where they stood on the various questions.
A nov«l sight greeted those at the meeting. Tucked away in
rear seats wens a "bunch" of the male persuasion. They wer«
candidates and newspaper men. The newspaper men offered sun*
dry consolation while the aspirants endeavored to look calm.
Finally the proceedings opened. The lady who presided announced
that in fairness to the candidates who would first be questioned,
the other candidates should take a seat on the front stepa In or
der that they could not prepare themselves by hearing what thoss
preceding them bumped into. Like good little boys, all the candi
dates but Mr. Roys, the first speaker, "beat" It to the front steps,
where they sat close together In sympathetic anxlousness as to
what might come.
The candidates present were,
Parker, Jamleson, Bartb, Roys,
Pettit and Burnett.
The program outlined was for
a ten minutes' talk from each
candidate, to be followed by five
minutes of questioning. The rule
was not lived up to In the en
thusiasm of the meeting, al
though each candidate was given
every opportunity to show just
where he stood.
Roys fur District.
Mr. Roys immediately made it
plain that he was for a restrict
ed district. He drew a picture of
smallpox cases being restricted.
Then he said a worse evil, the so
cial evil, existed, and that, too,
should be restricted. At this
point the nimble wit and reason
ing of a woman broke in upon
Mr. Itoj-H.
"If you people running the city
permitted people to visit a re
stricted smallpox case what
would be the use of restricting
those cases?" was the pertinent
query. "You let people visit the
district we are here .to discuss."
Mr. Roys hesitated, cleared his
throat and remarked; •
"There is sonietulns in that."
Hoys declared himself In favor
of the city owning and managing
such a place rather tban having
private parties in control.
Mr. Roys said that the vice
would scatter over the town,
and said he knew of such
an instance. "If you did your
duty as head of the police depart
ment they could not have moved
there," remarked a man in the
audience.
At this juncture Mrs. Shores
interposed with a Question as to
whether Mr. Roys was sure the
district had been closed. He was
sure.
"Why, Mr. Roys, I know a place
running In the Standard hotel. I
was down there myself recently
and saw It. I saw a woman sit
ting up there smoking a cigaret.
And we all know what kind of a
plaoe Lou Evans runs. The girls
told me it was running. I'll go
down with you, Mr. Roys, if you
want to see for yourself." Mr.
Roya was visibly embarrassed at
this piece of information, which
he did not for a moment dispute.
It appears that several of the
clubwomen decided they would
see for themselves whether Mr.
Roys had as reported closed the
restricted district.- They drew 1
him out to say the place was
closed and then being "loaded for
bear" went after him.
Roys spoke favorably of Mrs.
Covell, the woman police officer,
and on bis way out exchanged
compliments with the man who
had charged him with being dere
lict In his duty.
Parker Against.
Clarence Parker was then
brought In from the front steps.
Parker declared absolutely that he
would stamp out the restricted
district, and also declared that he
was in favor of appointment of
three women as police. Parker
scored the hit of the afternoon by
this Statement. He referred to
the boxes in cafes and told the
ladles he would have them done
away with. Parker In answer to
a query regarding a standard for
men and women said that he be
lieved In a single standard, but
that the women would have to be
looked to for help.
Mrs. Shores declared that she
would like to be appointed a po
liceman and that she would help
keep men away from the place.
Parker wax heartily applauded as
he left the platform.
Word was then sent to the
steps for Mr. Jamieson.
Mr. Jamieson, like Parker, said
that the law was to be observed,
and that v It declared against the
district he would .see that It was
enforced. He pointed out that
encouragement of a restricted dis
trict encouraged the vice syndU
cate and Its parasites to search
the town over for girls to Inhabit
it. This view of the matter
found a favorable response from
the women. "I will not tolerate
men going into that business for
commercial enterprise," said Mr.
Jamieson.
Jamieson declared that police
men could be depended upon to do
30 CENTS A MONTR
their duty If allowed to do no by
their superiors. He also said that
Tom Morris would not bo appoint
ed chief of police by him. .;",;
It was pointed out to Mr. Jaralc
son that the entire city was prac-: '
tically a restricted district. : Ho.
admitted this, and told of "blind
pigs" which received government""
licenses that were nothing other
than houses of 111 fame. "Men
who pay girls $3 a week to work r/i

Mr. Harth. the socialist, 5 made \M
