A number of other witnesses were heard by the grand jury and a report may be filed with the next return of the grand jury | to_Justice Joseph W. Cox. Dave Evans, former secretary-treas- urer of the union, is under arrest in Chicago charged With the embezzle- ment of $2.356 of the funds of the| union and an indictment will probably |be asked against him to expedite his return here for_trial. The inquiry, it is expected., will not go into the shooting of two of the officials of the union last May in a lunchroom near the local offices of the | union nor into a horsewhipping of an- other official by the wife of a former member of the organization. While the figures mentioned in the charge which brought about the arrest {of Evans in Chicago are placed-at $2.- 356, rumors have been civculated that | | the’ union’s financial losses would run | into thousands of dollars. | An inquiry was started two months | ago by the preceding grand jury, which | heard testimony _of two witnesses and |then abandoned "the probe because of |the iliness of Arthur M.

He said he had determined that the prevailing open shop wage for painters here was $7.20 a_day, but that he had raised that to $8 a day. He added that he was paying some of his painters as much as $12 a day. while painters' helpers are being paid $5 a day, which, he said, also is higher than the local open-shop rate. Morris _protested against the local union’s alleged attempt to control the wages paid by his company, saying the | union scale is not the prevailing scale here. He admitted union painters were getting $11 a day. and said h> under- {stood there were about 600 men in the | proba union, but that there were about 2,000 painters in Washington who do not belong to the union. He said he had been told by hundr<ds of painters here that they were working for from 80 to 85 and 90 cents an hour for an eight- hour day. Differ on Prevailing Scale. His company, Morris said, is doing painting work elsewhere for the Gov. ernment: for instance, at Raritan Arse- nal, at Metuchen, N.

With consummate skill, aided by a friendly fog and her great cruising speed, she eluded her British pursuers and put into a safe port at Bar Harbcr, Me.

The crew, realizing that this step was inevitable, for weeks had been wrecking her machinery so that the Americans would not be able to repair her, at leust for months. A few weeks later, early in July, they came out of their quarters and watched sullenly as she put to sea. The American me- chanics had accomplished what they thought would be impossible. Not only was she repaired and made sea-worthy again, but most of her elaborate cabins with their beveled mirrors, their Span- ish leather panels and their maple and satin-wood walls inlaid with mother-of- pearl had been torn out.
