TELLS BOMB PLOTS
CONFESSION OF GEORGE E. DAVI8
CAUSES STIR IN NEW YORK
LABOR RANK8.
WAS M'MANIGAL OF EAST
Member of Iron Workers' Organiza
tion Gives Particulars of Bomb Out
rages Committed at Behest of
Union Officials, It Is Alleged.
New York, Dec. 9. George E. Davis,
the dynamiter on whose evidence the
federal grand Jury at Indianapolis has
Just found Indictments in numerous
cases in which officers and membere,
of "tho International Bridge and Struc
tural Ironworkers' association aro de
fendants, made one of the most re
markable confessions over made.
Davis and Harry Jones aro among
tho new men indicted, in addition to
tho many connected with the union al
ready convicted on previous charges.
Davis gives dates and places of dy
namite outrages. He relates how he
was hired to blow up bridges, viaducts
and other structures erected by non
union labor.
Tho confession Is a document of ex
traordinary interest. It shows how
small the reward was that Davis re
ceived for tho destruction ho caused.
In one case ho got $30 for a dynamite
'outrage, in another only $10.
Tho confession shows the peril to
which hundreds of persons wore sub
jected by tho conspirators. Davis
carried the dynamite In suitcase
through cities, traveled in railroad
trains and steamships with it, deposit
ed it here and there in saloons over
night as if It were the most harmless
substance in the world. Yet he
handled quantities sufficient to cause
great loes of lifo and destruction of
property if accident had caused an ex
plosion. The confession shows how Davis did
his work and his relations with the
officers of tho ironworkers' union.
In brief, Davis was to the cast what
Ortle McManlgal was to the west Ho
was trailed by Robert J. Foster, n
Louleville detective employed by the
National ErectorB' association, to find
the man who had been doing the dyna
miting In the east, Davis was finally
induced to talk because he thought ho
had beon ill treated by the union,
which throw him over after the arrest
of Frank C. Webb in February, 1912.
He made his confession in Now
York.

BAR ARMS TO ULSTER
PROCLAMATION GIVEN AS AS
QUITH ACCEPTS PEACE PLANS.
Principles for Basle Argument With
Sir Edward Corson Are Sug
gested. London, Dec. 8. Homo rule for Ire
land, with Ulster Included and paci
fied, is visibly nearer realization as a
result of two Important announce
ments by tho government Friday.
The BrltiBh cabinet by a royal proc
lamation prohibited tho importation of
arms and ammunition into Ireland.
Premier Asqulth accepted tho terms
set forth by Sir Edward Carson In his
Manchester addiess by which Ulster
came to be pacified; , .
' Promulgation of "the ban upon the
importation of arms into Ireland for
the first tlmo inees the revolutionary
threats of tho followers of Sir Edward
Carson, who have for mouths paraded
their military preparations and defied
tho government to interfere.
Almost at tho time of publication of
the king's proclamation Premier As
quith made a long step toward con
ciliation of the UlsteriteB, announcing
his acceptance of the principles for a
basic agreement which Sir Edward
Carson had suggested. These princi
ples are:
1. That tho settlement must not
be humiliating or degrading to Ulster.
2. Ulster's treatment must not bo
different or exceptional form that
meted out to the other parts of tho
United Kingdom.
3. Ulster must retain full protection
of tho imperial parliament.
4. Tho homo rulo bill must not bo
such as to lead to ultimate separa
tion of Ulster from Great Britain.
Nottingham, Doc. 8. Sir Edward
Carson said in a speech that tho Ul
ster volunteers aggregated 90,000. He
added that they were determined and
awaiting orders. Aftor his speech Sir
Edward Bald tho king's proclamation
came too late.
