IXS ANGELES, Cal.. Oct. 14-f8pe-eial-
Disiict Attorney J. D. Freder
icks today furnished a jrprlsing' de
velopment In the complications growing
out of the charges made by City Prose
cutor Thomas L. TVoolwIne. against the
Mayor and Folic Commission by reap
pointing Mr. Woolwine a deputy District
Attorney to appear before the grand
J;ry and prosecute h! own charges.
Leas than 2' hours before this Freder
icks rharncterlxed Wnolvrlne's statements
and charges as being "all mouthings.
ftth sr.d ro substance." and said that
'line! suus wer nu necessary to show
how utterly baseless are 'his accusa
tions." It was only 10 days ago that
Woolwine mas deposed by Fredericks.
The District Attorney's sudden change
of front Is believed generally to have
been forced by public opinion and the
grand Jury.
Heavy Libel Suits Filed.
Police Commissioner' H. V. I.wi to
dar fil.-d a civil libel mitt against Wool
wine for damages. Vetserday
Major A. C. Harper filed a smilar suit
for t2. and a suit for llvO.on against
the Express. Other suits probably will
b filed by the remaining I'oltce Com
missioners. Whether they will bring
criminal suits depends upon opinion of
the attorneys for the plaintiffs.
These suits are the climax of the series
of event.- following Woolwlnc's declara
tions September 1" that lie would fight
a finish fight on all lawbreakers. On
that day he charged Mayor Harper amy
the Police Commission with protecting
vice Wootwine, who sensationally
raided Ihe rich California Club, declared
also for rlld enforcement of liquor or
dinances as to clubs. Mayor Harper,
the following day. challenged Woolwine
to come out In tile open and make clear
the charges
Behold the lamb of righteousness
which comes to take away the sins of
Is Angeles." said the Mayor, and
added aggressively. "Woolwine will
either have to acquit me or convict
m Two days later the Liberal Alliance
threatened to circulate petitions to
recall Cltv Attorney Hewitt, who ap
pointed Woolwine as City Prosecutor.
The petitions have not been circulated
yet.
Chang Altitude Quickly.
October 1 Fredericks ordered Wool
wine. as his deputy, to rake charge of
the prosecution and to come before the
grand jury. Woolwine shied at this
supposed trap and declined to shoul
der Frederick's responsibility In the
matter, but added that he would go
before the grand Jury as a private clt
lien. .Mayor llnrper and the Police
Commissioners the next day asked the
grand Jury to Investigate.
Octoher 3 Fredericks and Woolwine
both executed startling changes of at
titude. Fredericks said he would con
duct all rases himself, while Woolwine
In co.n trad let ion of his former state
ment agreed to tail" charge of the
prosecution.
October Fredericks deposed Wool
wine as Deputy District Attorney, thus
making htm practically useless as a
city prosecutor.
Woolwine Is 34 years old. ambitious,
sincere, and a fle'hter. which latter
characteristic he Itihorlts from hla
Southern ancestors. He says he drinks,
smokes and plas cards, has no par
ticular religious belief, that he Is not a
reformer nor a white-winged angel of
purity and that he believes In personal
liberty of Individuals. Young or not.
he says he knows the law. and Is go
ing to enforce It.

AT LABOR RALLY
Declares Injunction Has Be
come Weapon for Use
Against Weak.
! DANIEL J. KEEFE GRILLED
Accused by American Federation
Lobbyist of Sending Anonymous
Letters to Taft, Assuring Him
of Support of Unions.
Declaring that existing Industrial condi
tions made It necessary for organized
labor actively to engage In politics for
lta own protection, Andrew Furuseth, for
18 years lobbyist for the American Feder
ation of Labor before Congress, in an ad
dress before 1500 people at the Armory
last night vigorously attacked the Injunc
tion and severely censured Daniel J.
Keefe, International president of the
longshoremen and one of the .vice-presidents
of the American Federation of
Labor.
Mr. Furuseth accused Keete of b?ing
the author of certain anonymous letters
that had ben written to Mr. Taft, pur
porting to have come fron a prominent
official of the American Federation of
Labor and assuring the Republican nomi
nee that organized labor was not united
In Its opposition to his candidacy. The
audience consisted almost entirely, of
voters, not more than 50 women being
present.
Criticises lse by Courts. .
It was asserted by Mr. Furuseth that
originally the Injunction was an instru
ment for the protection of the weak
from the strong, but at it has been con
strued by the courts, he said It had be
come an agency by which the strong
further oppressed the weak. He se
verely criticised the courts for having
Interpreted the provisions of the in
junction to mean that the Income of a
man's business constituted a property
right and entitled him to Invoke the
injunction for his protection. He fur
ther assailed the courts for their de
cisions by which the right of the Amer
ican laborer to organize for his own
protection was denied, and Scored the
Republican party for Its failure to en
act remedial legislation in favor of the
wage earner.
A hundred or more Socialists at
tended the meeting with the evident
Intention of routing the friends of or
ganized labor, but they were badly
worsted. Only once was Debs' name
mentioned, and then they responded
with a deafening applause. After that
demonstration the disturbers repeated
ly asked the speaker questions, but the
San Francisco man was prepared for
such tactics and effectually silenced
the Interlopers just as frequently as
they propounded a query.
Makes Reply to Debs Man.
"Just keep quiet 'a minute;' requested'
Mr. Furuseth. after having been Inter
rupted for about the 20th time, when one
of the men wearing a red button sug
gested that the only way for the Ameri
can laborer to get any consideration in
the way of remeriTal legislation was to
elect n Socialist Congress. "Now I want
to tell vou that you are proceeding on
a mistaken theory at this time. A vote
for Debs In this election is a vote for
Taft, and If you are not fools you can
see it plainly. Deb? has no more chance
of being elected than any one of you
have, and you have not even been nomi
nated. A vote for Taft will be a vote
against the real hopes of the laboring
tnsn In this campaign."
Mr. Furuseth spoke at considerable
length on the injunction, which he said
under prcstnt conditions was adminis
tered largely at the discretion of the pre
siding judge, which was making for a
despotic form of government Just as ob
jectionable as any that Is ruled over by
a king. He reviewed the efforts of the
American Federation of Labor to secure
legislation by Congress which would curb
the application of the Injunction and give
to the laborer the full enjoyment of the
political freedom assured him in the Con
stitution of the United States.
Refers to Boycott Case.
Mr. Furuseth referred to the celebrated
Loew-e boycott rase in Connecticut and
charged that In this case the right of
organization by laboring men for their
own protection had been denied by the
courts. The failure of the Republican
National convention' to adopt the anti
Injunction plank submitted by the offi
cers of the American Federation of La
bor was censured and credit given the
Democrats, for having incorporated such
a plank in their platform at their Den
ver convention. .
"All we have asked for Is for legisla
tion to guard the Individual human lib
erty of the laborer." said Mr. Furuseth,
"and we are now doing everything in our
power to send William Jennings Bryan
to the White House. We would also
give Joe Cannon a vacation and
elect a Congress that will pro
tect human liberty and put itself as
an Iron wall against all such revolu
tionary doctrines as the Injunction. .We
are not partisans only so far as to
stand for the protection of that kind of
government Lincoln had In mind when
lie made his Gettysburg speech.
Tribtiteto Taffs Ability.
"Now for a few words about Mr.
Taft. and I assure you I shall not
abuse him. Mr. Taft is an exceptional
ly able man. He Is a big man physical
ly: a big man mentally. He has a big
brain, but an entirely different con
ception of government from what we
think is right. He is a Federalist and
does not believe in a government by
and for the people. He believes in gov
ernment by the Judges."
The speaker at this point reviewed
the various decisions of Judge Taft in
volving the injunction question, and
charged that in every case the Repub
lican nominee had ruled adversely to
the interests of the laboring people.
"Of course." continued Mr. Furuseth,
"we read that Mr. Taft Is receiving let
ters from prominent labor officials as
suring him that organized labor Is not
unitedly opposed to him. And what is
more, we know who is writing those
letters. Tou know who It is. Ic is
Daniel J. Keefe. And who is Keefe?
He was Hanr.a a man Friday from the
time that Hanna came Into the lime
light until the good Lord took him
away. It Is said he is to get an office
for It. Well, he ought to have two
ofn?s.
"The American Federation of Labor
does not presume to dictate or to sug
gest to Its members how they shall
vote. But here are two pictures: One
of them Is Taft and Van Cleave: the
other. Bryan and Compere. The situa
tion is up to you. Take your choice."
H. G. Parsons, president of th Cen
tral Labor body of this city, was chair
man of the meeting for which a band,

CLEVELAND, O.. Oct 14. Daniel 3.
Keefe. president of the International
Longshoremen's Union and member of
the executive committee of the Ameri

denial made yesterday In regard to the
allegations that he was promised the
Commissionorship of Immigration as a
Teward for his support of W. H. Taft,
Mr. Keefe continued:
' "I am not and have never been a
candidate for that position. I do not
know of three other prominent labor
men who are being urged for the
place.
"The circular sent out from the
headquarters of the American Federa

upon organized labor to defeat Mr. Taft
was not authorized and was not an of
ficial document of the Federation. I
have never seen the circular.
"During the Republican convention
