That
PRISONER TELLS VIVID STORY
5 Secretary-Treasurer Of The
'. t ion It Placed Under
Arrest.
Un
New York, Oct, 3. Dynamite out
rages that rivalled the exploits of the
: McNamara brothers and Ortie Mc
; Manlgal, were 'confessed -today by
" George 'E. Davis, a union iron worker.
Davis who was arrested here today
was the George O'Donnell, who figured
: in the trial at Indianapolis 1 that re
suited in the conviction of Frank M
Ryan, president of the International
Vj Association of Bridge and Structural
. Iron Workers and 37 of his assistants.
His arrest and its - consequent round
up work the federal government start
ed more than two years ago when the
dynamiting of bridges and steel frame
' buildings all over the country became
a national scandal.
All the explosions that Davis says he
caused were referred to at the dyna
miter's trial in Indianapolis, but the
fact that Davis caused them remained
Unrevealed until he himself today told
of it.
' Davis' confession resulted today in
the arrest in Indianaolis of Harry
Jones, secretary-treasurer of the Iron
Workers Union. The confession sup
plements the evidence presented at the
Indianapolis trial, and makes fresh
charges against some of the men there
convicted and now in prison. Some of
his revelations concern President Ryan
who is now out on bail pending appeal
from a prison sentence of seven years
Davis says that he was the man chosen
in December, 1911, to kill Walter Drew,
attorney for the National Erecters
Association,' after Drew was charged
with kidnapping John J. McNamara
It was suggested also that he try to
"get" William J. Burns, the detective
employed by Drew and his assistants
to unearth the dynamite conspiracy
The price on Drew's head at that time,
Davis said, was $5,000. "I told them,"
his confession continues, "that I didn't
want to mix up iq such business,"
Davis consented to return to Indian
i polis, without extradition. His bail
was fixed at (10,000.
The conspiracy, thought to have been
broken up- by. the conviction of Ryan
and others, still exists, according to
Davis', confession. With the excep
tion of Harry ' Jones, the men he men
.. tions in connection with his various
dynamite jobs already have been ar
rested, although his confession indi
cated that the government had not
obtained all the incriminating evidence
against these defendants.
i The apprehension of this McManigal
of the East was due to Robert Foster,
a Loueiville detective, who shadowed
" the ironworker through Eastern cities
. Finally, when Dayis ' was displeased
with his treatment by the union, Fos
ter persuaded him to make a full con
fession. - , - , '
vinis was on September 26. ror a
week Davis had befw working in Pitts-
; burgh t for ' th? : 1 .'lumpson-Starrett
Company. Then the local delegate .of
': the Iron WorVers' Union told him he
must pay a 20 initaitiotf fee to the
local union of quit work. Davis quit.
The detective told . him he knew all
'about his deeds anyway, and Davis

him, accompanied' Foster to New York,

GnOWD EXPECTED
Believed That Five Thousand Visi
tors Will Visit New Bern
, Today. ,
ALL CORDIALLY WELCOMED
Many Attractions Have Been Pro
vided For The Pleasure
Seekers,
?Net Bern will, today, have within
its borders a larger, number of visitors
thin have been here at one time in many
years. Circus day is always a big day
and when the aggregation is such a
one as Barnum and Bailey's, which
is one of the largest in the entire world,
it can easily be seen why so many
people are desirous to be on hand and
see just what is going on.
The crowds began arriving yesterday
afternoon. The trains from the East
and the West-and frofti Pamlico county
carried a large number who want to
be on the ground early in the morning
and see everything that is going on.
Naturally the majority of the visitors
will come in this morning. The Nor
folk Southern Railway Company, and
also the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
Company have arranged to have extra
coaches added to the regular trains
and, if found necessary, special trains
will be operated.
It is estimated that there will be at
least five thousand visitors here and
the citizens of New Bern, the merchants
and the business men extend a hearty
welcome to each to make themselves
to hum" while in the city. The parade
will begin about ten o'clock and the
route mapped out for the line of
inarch leads from the show grounds
to Pollock street, down Pollock to
Middle, down Middle to South Front,
South Front to Craven, Craven to
Broad, Broad to Queen and from there
back to the circus grounds.
Many persons will attend the after
noon performance and will hardly care
to see a- repitition at night. For these
New Bern's two moving picture and
vaudeville theatres have arranged at
tractive ; programs. At the Athens
theatre Jack Amick and his company
of. twelve people, mostly girls, are
giving an up-to-date show for a small
price. At the Star another one of those
inimitable Warner feature pictures
will be seen.
Many of the visitors will combine
business with pleasure and will do a
great deal of trading. They could
come to no better place for the purpose.
The New Bern merchants have a varied
and extensive line of dry goods and mer
chandise and are at all times willing
to serve the public to the best of their
ability and those who purchase can
feel assured that they will be fairly
treated in every way and will get the
full worth of their money.

Mr. Rice brought to New Bern with
him plans and specifications which he
had drawn up and they were thoroughly
explained to Messrs. Eby and Hurst,
The route as stated in the Journal
yesterday, runs from a point opposite
the coal chute, up in the rear of the
National cemetery and then alongside

SULZBR WITNESSES WILL
GO ON STAND MONDA
Confidential Secretary Will
Asked To Give Testimony Antici
pation Is Rife
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 3. The first
witness for William Sulzer will take
the stand Monday afternoon. To that
day the impeachment court adjourned
today, because after Judge Cullen cut
short the argument on a motion of the
defense to strike out five of the eight
articles D. Cady Herrick' said it would
be impossible to begin testimony be
fore Monday. ,
Undoubtedly the first of Governor
Sulzer's friends to testify in attempt
ed refutation of the charges of per
jury, larceny, and bribery will be
Louis A. Sarecky, the mild appearing
young man who, as confidential sec
retary, was a depositor of the candi
date's campaign checks. On cross
examination, the prosecution's lawyers
will handle this witness without gloves.
Next to Governor Sulzer's own story,
and that of his wife, if she appears,
Sarecky's recital promises to supply
most of the next week's fireworks.
Judge Herrick, obviously pleased by
today's adjournment, said that the
cfefense would move rapidly when it
got started and prophesied that the
end of next week would see the end
of the trial. The nervous breakdown
of Harvey D. Hinman, who is sche
duled to make the opening plea for
the governor was one of the reasons
ON BRIDGE

STRUCTURE DESTROYED DUR
ING THE FLOOD IS BEING
- REBUILT.
Rapid progress is being made in the
work . of rebuilding the Neuse river
county bridge, leading from New Bern
to Bridgeton and which was destroyed .
during the storm and flood which visi
ted this section on September 3.
Just a month ago yesterday morning
thift structure was torn away by the
wind and waterrand in the few short
weeks which have followed, wonderful
progress has been made, in its recon
struction, the' County Commissioners
lost no time in getting a force of men
at Wprk on the remains of the bridge
a few days after the catastrophe and
they have succeeded in relaying the
flooring for about two thirds of its
length. :. ' -
Of course there is much work yet to
be done, but there is not the least doubt
but that the bridge will be open to
traffic by November 1. In the meantime
the ferry line is being operated oc
tween this city and Bridgeton.

WORK
PROGRESSING
OVER PROPOSED LINE
Mr. Rice, who is tak'ng a great interest
in this section of the country and New
Bern in particular, is very much lm-
pressed with the proposed propos tion
to operate trains to and from the hair
grounds during the time that the Fair
is in progress and to operate a motor
car to Glenburnie Park during tne
summer months and he informed
Mr. Eby that he would report favorably
on the matter to the officers of the
company.
With only a few weeks intervening
before the beginning of the Fair,
it is hardly probable that the line will
be constructed before that time but
Mr. Rice left the impression that the
line would be in operation by the
beginning of the summer.
Probably Be the First One
advanced by Judge Herrick for taking
a recess until Monday. If. Mr Herman
is not better tomorrow his task will
probably be assumed by Austen G.
Fox.
Technically, the defense lost heavily
today when Judge Cullen ruled that
decision as to striking out articles 3
4, ' 5, 7 and 8 must be deferred to
the close of the trial.
In effect the presiding judge said
that every bit of evidencee the prose
cution has set forth must be met by
the other side, and must be taken
into account when the members of
the court confront the final question,
"guilty or not guilty."
Judge ' Herrick and his associates
expected this. Apparently the ruling
even pleased them. One of the group
said:
"It would have taken only a ma
jonty vote, if the ruling had been
submitted by Judge Cullen to the -rest
of the court to beat us. Now there
will be only one vote, and that the
last one. In the minds of the judges
at that time will be not only the mat
ter of how the governor has answered
the charges themselves, but as to the
impeachibility of the alleged offenses.
And the required vote for conviction
is two-thirds, not a majority."

During The Court
Proceedings.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 3. Superior
court Judge J-E. Humphries today sent
12 men and 6 women to the county
jail for contempt of court in defying
him in his decisions against Socialists.
Later a consultation of other judges of
the Superior Court was held and Thor-
walk Siegfried, an attorney who had
complained to the Bar Association
Judge Humphries' excessive use of the
writ of injunction was requested to ap
ply for a writ of habeas corpus for the
prisoners.
Siegfried applied to Judge Everett
Smith for the release of Glenn Hoover,
attorneyfor the Free Speech Defense
League and former assistant Attorney
General of Washington, and G. M
Hodgson, one of the signers of the
"resolutions of protest" against Judge
Humphries' anti-street speaking in
junctions. They were released on their
own recognizance. Each had a short
time before been sentenced to pay
$100 fine for contempt. In addition
Hoover had "forever been disbarred
by Judge Humphries and Hodgson was
sent to jail for six months. Judge
Smith said he would release all the
prisoners who sought freedom
writs.
Judge Humphries was angry when
he heard of the consultation of his
fellow judges and the release of the
prisoners. He denounced the other
judges and declared the right of habeas
corpus did not apply in contempt case
Judge Humphries' court late today
was jammed to suffocation and the
crowd interrupted and applauded fre
quently. Most of the prisoners when
arraigned expressed anew their con-
tempt for the judge and defied him
Glenn Hoover, attorney for the pris
oners, was fined, disbarred and ordered
removed to jail as soon as he began to
speak.
Attorney Hullet M. Wells, Socialist
candidate for Mayor at the last elec
tion, was disbarred and fined without
being permitted to speak. Mrs. Hum
phries, secretary of a Socialist local,
was dismissed with a small fine, the
judge saying he did not wish to humili
ate a member of his own Scotch clan.
Mrs. William McNally stood up with
a baby in her arms. The judge said he
did not wish to send a boy to jail.
"Never mind," the woman said, bit
terly, "the baby is as guilty as I am."
She was fined $100 and sent to jail
with the baby and a little boy. The
woman's husband, also, was fined $100
and sent to jail. Six women and two
children are in the county jail tonight.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS
Some Opposition To Issuing Any
rasses For The Ap
proaching Fair.
A very important meeting of the
Executive Committee of the
Carolina Fair Association Company
was neia in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms last night. One of the most
important matters brought up was that
concering the lighting of the Fair
grounds at night during the week of the
Fair.
For the past week Clyde Eby,
president of the Fair Association Com
pany, has been working on this import
ant matter and has made arrangements
to get the West Box and Lumber Com
pany to furnish current for use in
lighting the grounds and buildings
The members of the committee thorj
oughly discussed this plan and came to
the conclusion that it
satisfactory.
was entirely
The grounds and buildings have
already been wired and nothing now
remains undone but' the erection of a
line from the grounds to the plant
of the West Box and Lumber Company
and this can be done in a few days.
This action of the Executive Committee
of the Fair definitely assures patrons
that the grounds will be open
at night both during the Eastern Caro
lina Fair and also during the week that
the colored people have their Fair.,
During the past few weeks J. Leon
Williams, secretary of the Fair Asso
ciation Company, has been conducting
an advertising campaign and he gave a
detailed and interesting account of
the work which he has done.
Mr. Williams is a publicity agent
of ability and if the approaching Fair
is not properly advertised it will not be
on account of the fact that he has not
done all within his power to let the
public know that it is to take place.
The question as to whether any pas
ses to the Fair should be issued, came
up for discussion. This same matter
was thoroughly discussed last year
and at that time there were manv
who were opposed to it. The same oppo
sition again exists, there are many who
are averse to issuing passes to anyone
while others think just the opposite.
There was considerable discussion, both
pro and con, on this matter but no defi
nite decision was reached. Another
meeting will be held next Friday night
and the matter will be definitely de
cided at that time.
