The prosecution of Jackson and Duvall is greatly facilitated by the fact that former Grand Dragon Stephenson’s political allies failed to save him when he was arrested for raping and murdering a girl, In re- {venge Stephenson has made known the whereabouts of a large number of incriminating documents, kept sec- reted until a few months ago in a now famous “black box.” The “black box” contents were be- fore the grand jury when it brot, a few days ago, indictments for graft against Jackson, two of his political P ther indictments against Duvall. ‘Wreckage Indicates | Fishing Vessel Crew which sailed from here for the Grand Banks nearly two months’ ago witl a crew of twenty and has not been 1e board of public works, a} |The ManWho Wantedto| ‘Run Debs Out of State) | } | { | ® se es Ex-Gov.

These coal and iron police, while deputized by the state and county authorities, are paid by the steel companies and coal corporations. “The American Federation of La- bor is deeply interested in this situa- tion and the executive council gave it special consideration.

He did not box as vigorously and was not cut- ting his punches loose with the same sharpness and force as on the previous day. Perhaps he was withholding his stuff from the big Sunday crowd, par- ticularly because of the presence of the largest gallery of scribes that has yet visited the camp. A crowd of 4,- 000 attended the workout. * * * Booze IS Seized, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.—Fed- eral officials today sought the owner and skipper of the tanker Bulko which \was seized at the Greenwich Pier of the Delaware River here with a $2,- 000,000 cargo of liquor believed con- signed for cofsumption of Tunney- Dempsey fight patrons at Chicago.
