riLii Ow. ns, tne Si. Paul railroad officer
an . led the Chicago police such a lively
ch..e, came to Cuiuago about two
m- ahs ago from Wyoming, although
hi. home ,s in San Francis io.
iiu campanon iu cniue, William
Lake, alias Austin, also came from San
Francisco, and both are ie!ieved to
have committed crimes in California
which compelled them to leave the
state. Griswoid represented himself to
be an adjuster for tne Manchester In
surance company al the itouse, 13 south
Curtis street, where he lived with his
young wite. Mrs. Snramers, the land
lady, informed the police that Onc
wold ppent very little of U.b time at the
house and received no vigors except
his pal, ijilly Lake. Nhe says he was
frequently absent all iiiht and some
times for oays, but always paid his
bills. Assistant Chief of Police Kipley
said the men answered the descriptions
of highway robbers, who were wanted
on several charges in Chicago, tie is
sure that the captured to trderers have
records as criminals.
Lake, alias Austin, admitted that
neither he nor Griswold were railroad
men and that neither hud held posi
tions in this city. Edward lturchard,
a bvfber living at Maylair, where the
shoot of the Itailroad Ullicer Patrick
Mciirath took place, says he knows
Griswold and Lake, having met them
six years ago In Nebraska. Prior to
that time he knew Griswold on the
Denver A liio Grande road, where tbe
prisoner was a brake man with a good
record. I '.orchard says he first met
Lake at Giant, Neb., where the latter
was engaged in horse trading with
Griswold. Tbe men never bad more
than half a dozen horse at a time and
when they ran out of stock would go
to work on the ranches of Nebraska.
It was often suspected that they would
replenish their stock by picking up un
hranded ponies.
Burcbard also told the polios be met
Griswold at Ogalalla, Neb. where the
prisoner was arrested for horse stealing
and narrowly escaped lynching. Uria
woldgot into Jail at Grand Island
Neb., according to Burcbard, after bis
Ogalalla trouble, but cut his way
throught be the bars and escaped.
It is probable that tbe desperadoes
wi;'. be tried in Lake county instead of
this county, as Owens was killed. It is
believed, just outside Jook county.

"Do you heli-ve it just liable to tie op

plied: "That depends. For a small

I'oranvSiioner Wright read Debs a

refusal to submit anv case for arbitra

his attention to denying statements
made by General Mauagtr ML John.

members of the American railway
union on the Lock Island svs'em.
"We had a larger uiemberslup than
that," lie said.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
Americaii Fedtralion of labor, neit
took the stand. He said the mem
bersh lit was 050,000. Gompers told in
detail about the meeting at the Hrigsrs
bouse, Ht which action was taken on
the American railway union strike.
"We decided at this meeting," said
Gompers, "that since the prime min
ister of England had deemed it exped
ent to use the great power of England
to end a coal strike, it w-uld not be be
neath the dlirtiity of the president of
the United States to lake lumu action
in this unhappy crisis. To this end we
telegraphed him, asking him either to
come to Chicago or to send a representa
tive. To th.s telegram the president
did not reply. The Amencan fenera
tion of labor deemed it expedient at
this time to recommend a strike. "
Gompers read an address to the
public explaining w hy ilia organization
of which he is president! refused to
strike. He referred lo the town of
Pullman as "Pullman's farisalcal
Paradise."
Asked how be would solve the labor
problem Gompers said: So long as
tbe present conditions exist there will
be strikes. 1 do no; join in this general
d iiiiiiLiatioii of strikes. 1 regard the
strike as the protest of labor against
being bound in alavt ry. I think the
government ownership of railroads is
practicable."
Gompers presented many objections
to arb' ration. lie nnder no clrcum
Sta ices favored compulsory arbitration.
In regard to injunctions bv ibe courts
Oomuets thought the courts often
made a law where the statutes were
silent. When Gompers had liuished

tbe Japanese were attacked by Chinees
cavalry, who succeeded in driving the
advancing column in two parts. I here
upon tbe Chinese artillery poured a
heavy fire into the Japanese ranks,

(tiitlau'it llw-lllag-
Ciili'.Micj. Aug. 3). At the inve-ti-Katiou
of tne Puilman s'nke Cnauncey
Keisey of the Chicao & Alton road
took the witness cli ur and tea'.iGid as
to ttie losses sustained by thatr ai dur
ing the strike He deciared that tha
lost was iV(3i)U.
Then William McFaJ ien of the Liks
Shore iV Michigan Southern teslili-d
that the lom on cars aiona to that roa 1
was 8.-1.1.-, 1.

losses that had not been tamilate l.
Charles II Wehb, cliief cierK of tin
banlt at Pullmai, lestitied that Jennie
Curtis, wtio had claimed she was com
P"ll3d to pav ba k rent, had paid the
rent voliim anly.
Vice President Wickes then took the
St. su l. tiue.itioiied by Chairm tn Wright
he saitl that the cost of the company of
building the c irs under contract at the
time of the strike was about $1,4 )).0O).
The labor would cost about tflMiJUJU.
The contracts were taken on a bams of
a reduction of 20 per cent, and thus
under the olu prices the labor would
cost annul .!t),0 )).
Mr. Wickes then admitted that on
this basis the company had reduc-d itp
receipts t5i,t00 and the employes wage
IfiO.lHH 1'liis, the vice president said,
looked hardly fair, but he thought it
much better than to throw the men en
tirely out of employment.
In answer to the chairman, Mr.
Wickes said that the cut in pay had
been made to lit tbe depression in busi
ness and the low selling price of cars,
snd not to stop any encroachment on
tbe profits that were paid to the stock
holders. The surplus of 22,01,OOJ un
divided profits, consisted partly of idle
cars whose value was constantly de
teriorating. Tbe cost of the can was
counted in the surplus, so that there
was to some extent a fiction in the fig
ures of tbe surplus.
He said that the World's fair in his
opinion did not do his company partic
ular good. The company speut (4,500,
100 in bulding new cars for fa r traflic
and the traffic was not nearly so large
as was expected. When the rush waa
over the prices got down to bed rock
and the men were dissatisfied.
He did not think that a voluntary
division of the profits in prosperous
times would be better than the present
system It wouid not be fair to tiie
stockholders to so divide the profits.
Mr. Wickes said tiie amount of back
rent due the company from strikers
waa sKJO.OOO. No evictiou had been
made and there had been no orders for
eviction, Very little effort had been
made to collect the rent.
He said tbe company had contracts
with roads Its ears run over (about
three-quarters of all tbe mileage iu the
country.) On the territory covered by
the contrite s the Pullman company
bad a monopoly.
Mr. Wickes deoied that l'uliman em
ployes were c impelled to rent the com
pany's dweliiag. lie said he did not
believe that the principle of arbitration
could be applied to h man in the opera
tion of his business. A matter of
opinion was available to arbitration.
but uot the matter of a man running
his own business.
The witness was questioned at to the
salaries paid the company's officers,
bat declined to answer.
General Nelson - Miles took the
stand when tiie commission met after
luneb. He dtnied that alter bis return
from Washington be bad a conference
with the general managers. On July
t, when the conference was said to have
been taken, he was In Washington, and
bo arrvied here July 4. Ask if it were
true tnat he had declared he had
broken the backbone of the strike, the
general said this wsa not quite exact.
What lie said was that he bad oroken
tiie backbone of the opposition to the
federal troops.
The commissioners wanted to know
If the troops forced railroad men to
work at the point ol bayoneot. Gen
eral Miles said that while lils might
have happened in eome instances bo
had not been awar? ot it, and bad
Issued no orders to that effect. He
sal la knew nothing about the strike.
General Superintendent Sullivan of
the Illinois Central was the last called
to tbe witness stand. He declared that
many of the striking ra:lmad men had
committed ads of violence, and backed
np the aosertiiiii with Ungiblesvldsoos.
This was tbe main point In his evi
