Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 10. Four

Charges of Wanton
Waste Made at CamD
Grant Investigation
Rockford, III, Nov. 10. Charges
of wanton waste in the construction
of Camp Grant were made here be
fore a congressional committee. La
borers "laid down on the job," gro
cery clerks and tailors were hired
as killed carpenters at union wages
and teams stood idle at $1 an hour
while there was a wild extravagance
in (lumber, cement, nails and tools,
according to the stories of a number
of men who worked at the camp.
W. C. Durham, a foreman at the
camp, said "twice too many men
were employed on every job." It
was common talk, he said, that the
more expensive the job could be
made the more the company got.
Durham said conditions became so
bad that laborers would not lift a 12
foot section of a three-inch pipe un
less there were at least six men to
do it
W. L. Norman, Chicago, testified
to excessive waste of cement -and
other materials, due, he said, to care
lessness. .

ference at the likelihood that it
would prevail.
After some discussion the irre
concilables, however, became sus
picious that the democrats, intend
ing to vote against ratification of
the treaty once the reservations
were attached, had set out to make
the .qualifications as obnoxious as
possible. Senator Fall withdrew his
previous announcement, pronounc
ing the proposed' amendment a
"trick," and the senate adjourned
without a vote, but with the repub
lican forces apparently again solidi
fied. Proposals All Fail.
Earlier in the session the demo
crats! had made another unsuccess
ful effort to break into the republi
can ranks by proposing as a substi
tute for the committee reservation,
one which had been agreed on some
weeks ago by the mild group of re
publicans. Standing by their agree
ment to support the committee,
however, all the mild reservationists
voted against the substitute and it
only got democratic support. The
vote was 48 to 36.
By a vote of 45 to 38 the senate
rejected another motion by Senator
Walsh, Montana, to strike out a
part of the clause reciting congress'
authority over the use of armed
forces.
The only other move to alter the
reservation came from the irrecon
cilables. Senator Borah proposing
to substitute a reservation which

ORDERS PROBE
INTO "FRAMEUP"
"I Want Every Aspect of This
Case Gone Into," He
Says in Charge to
Grand Jury.
(Continued From Page One.)
when they emerged from the star
chamber scssiop.
Mayor Smith admitted he read the
article exposing the corrupt and
criminal methods employed bjr Cap
tain Haze and other policemen. He
admitted he read the confessions of
kErnest Morris and Harold Thorp,
making clean breasts of the malic
ious arrangement, and declaring
they had been induced to go before
the grand jury and swear to lies
concocted by Captain Haze and de
signed to implicate the reporter in
the not.
Nothing to Say.
I have nothinir to sav. nothinsr to
say at all, was the terse manner
which the mayor dismissed the sub
jeer, when asked to comment on the
situation.
"I have no statement to make,'
declared Commissioner Ringer.
Chief Eberstem asserted he had
not yet heard of the case.
Haze, who is the man selected by
Commissioner Ringer to represent
the Omaha police department in
connection with the grand jury in
vestigation, did not appear at the
court house yesterday moraine.
following the exposure by I he
Bee, Sheriff Mike Clark has issued
instructions to his deputies to re
fuse Captain Haze and other mem
bers of the police department the
privileges which heretofore were
granted them in the county jail.
In the past Captain Haze and the
other policemen working on the not
cases have been permitted to inter
view the prisoners privately and at
their own will. In the future no
more policemen will be allowed to
talk privately to the prisoners, de
clared the sheriff. VVhen Captain
Haze or any other policeman wants
to talk to prisoners in the county
jail they will be compelled to do
so in the presence of the sheriff
or one of his deputies. '
County Attorney Shotwell re
fused to state whetRer or not he
would take up the matter of Cap
tain Haze's misconduct with the
grand jiry. "I do not care to make
a statement of my plans, at this
time," asserted the county attorney.
"I may have something to say
later."
In the event the grand jury .insti
tutes an investigation of the affair,
it is said, the proper charges that
will be preferred against the police
man are criminal conspiracy and
subornation of perjury. Both are
penitentiary offenses. '
Captain Haze and several other
detectives, whose names win be
disclosed later, are said to have
been trying to frame-up with pris
oners in the county jail for weeks,
to indict The Bee reporter in con
nection with ,the riot. At least two
other prisoners were approached,
but refused to enter into the mali
cious and crooked arrangements
suggested by Captain Haze and his
assistants.
Promised Their Freedom.
After Captajn Haze succeeded in
prevailing on Ernest Morris and
Harold Thorpe.the two prisoners to
swear falsely against Mr. Moore
before the grand jury upon a prom
ise that they would be released from
jail, one of the detectives working
with Haze remarked "We have been
after . for a long time. We
will get him this time sure "
This remark was made just after
the reporter left room No. 201 in
the city hall, where he had gone at
the instance of Captain Haze, who
lied to the reporter and pretended
he wanted to obtain some informa
tion from him.
"They had us over to the city
hall at least a dozen times," de
clared Morris, "before we agreed
to conspire with the policemen to
send the reporter to the peniten
tiary. They talked to us for days,
and finally when they learned that
neither of us ever saw the reporter,
Captain Haze agreed to call him in
so we could know our man."
Both Morris and Thorpe have
expressed fear that they will be
persecuted by the police, because
they have told the truth.
Free Newsboys.
J. Van Orden, Herman Remer,
John Monico and Forest Kido,
newsboys, who were arrested Sat
urday night by Patrolman Bitters
for selling The Bee containing an
account of the police frame-up, were
discharged by Acting Police Judge
R. W. Patrick yesterday. The
court held that the boys were plain
ly within their rights when' they
exhibited the newspapers on the
streets, and that the officer over
stepped his authority when he went
out of his way to persecute them.
This is not the first attempt by
members of the police (department
to prevent the circulation of The
Bee containing accounts of the
criminal actions of policemen.

One of the most notable outbursts
of enthusiasm seen in the convention
today greeted the reading of a mes
sage from Marshal Foch, allied commander-in-chief,
by Gen. L. Calloe

Situation of Labor
Considered Very Grave

the situation generally unchanged,
with miners waiting to see what
orders they would get from Indian
apolis. Government plans went for
ward as' heretofore, with the fuel
administration and the railroad ad
ministration working hand in hand
to move coa! and distribute it where
most needef!.
"Reports that a blizzard was
sweeping out of the northwest was
a disquieting bit of news received
during the day, officials realizing
that a week of cold weather would
cut deeply into reserve coil stocks
and make conditions critical unless
the men return immediately to
work.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of 1 Labor,
would not add anything to the state
ment issued last night by the execu
tive council supporting the striking
miners and demanding that the gov
ernment withdraw the injunction
proceedings.
"That was the statement of the
executive council and it speaks for
itself," Morrison said. "I am not
here to interpret it."
The federation secretary had been!
asked for a statement in view of the
opinion in some quarters that the
pronouncement of organized labor
was a notice to the striking miners
to stand pat.
"There is nothing to add," Morri
son replied. "That question, has al
ready been- asked a number of times
today, and if you wish an answet
you will have to reassemble the
executive council."
House Discusses Strike.
Officials and members of coneress
did not agree with the statement of
the federation's executive committee
that it was the intention of congress
in enacting the food control law to
exempt labor unions from its pro
visions. At the Department of Jus
tice it was pointed out that an
amendment to the act under which
unions would have been exempted
spccincany was rejected.
lhe federations statement was
read in the senate today at the re
quest ot Senator La toilette, who
explained that newspaper criticism
cf the strike had been read into the
record in the past.
VVhen the senate clerk was about
half way through the statement
Senator La Follette withdrew his
request.
It s a waste of time " he said. "It
is receiving attention of about one
per cent and conversation is general
Members apparently do not want 10
hear the miners' side."
Senator Norris. republican. Ne

the reading and the clerk proceeded.
