The grand jury for the present term of
the criminal district court-which Is now
In session were called In yesterday morn-
ing by Judre 1. K. P. Olllasple. for the
purpose of receiving a special charge frsm
tho court. ' Judg Olllasple in his charge.
Instructed them to Investigate the recent
dynamiting of a resort over the saloon of
Barney Cornelius and also any attempt
to boycott. v
The charge of the courr which was de-
livered to the Jury was substantially as
follows: j. '
THE) JUDOBIB CHARQ& J
"There has transpired several things In
the last few daya that have made It my
duty to call your attention to wnich hare
coma to me ofnciftlly as .well as In the
public prints. On of them I expect you
are as familiar with as I am that Is
the dynamiting here in town of a place
over a saloon. The fact that It Is an un-
lawful place does not make It lawful to
dynamite It. Tito law makes such an at-
tempt to destroy human life and prop-
erty m such a way a crime and those
things are to be dealt with according to
law.
"I call your attention to the matter
and ask you to investigate it and. If pos-
sible. - to bring the parties to Justice so
offending. I also call your attention to
matters arising here that are acta pro-
hibited by the statute wnlch reads thus:
"Section I paragraph M of the act of
March a IMS of the loft :egislature bf
the State of Texas: 'Where any two or
more persons firms corporations or as-
sociations of persons ehntl agree to boy-
cott' or threaten to refuse to buy from cr
sell to any person firm corporation or
association of persons for buying .from
or selling to any other person.-flrmj cor-
poration or association of persona
"This is a violation of the anti-trust
law of thla State. - '
"It Is yous duty To Investigate tlieae
matters and see if such is the ease and
to bring Indictments against such persons
so guilty of offending. What has caased
these matters I suppose yon are as
familiar with as I am nut ft is not for
me to take any decided stand upon either
side but to lay the law before you aa I
have read It and In doing so I ask that
you look Into tneae matters and If you
find the law has been violated to find In-
dictments against the person so guilty or
offending." .f-------.
ANDREW BEFORE COURT. ' "v
After receiving thla charge the grand
Jury retired to Its room. Among the wit-
nesses summoned to appear before the
body was Mr. Max Andrew editor of the
VASMER LOST
Judge Hamblen Refused to Order
His Name on the Ticket
COMMITTEE IS UPHELD
The Right of. a Political Organ.-
' sation to Preacriba Qualifica-
' tions' Recognised.
Judge Hamblen of the Fifty-fifth dis-
trict court yesterday afternoon held that
the executive committee of a political
party under the law was acting entirety
within 1U bounds In proscribing the qual-
ification of Candida tea to be voted for
In lu prima rise. -
The) case In point was that 'of Judge
K. H. Vasmer who sought by mandatory
Injunction to compel Chairman J. M.
Qetaelman the county democratic ex-
ecutive cormasVtee to place his name on
the official ballot of tha Party to be
voted In the nominating primaries on
July t as a candidate for county Judge.
The contentions of both sides In tha
S remises were fully outlined In yester-
ay's Post. - -
HEARING EXTENDED.
Aa stated then. Judge Hamblen on Wed-
nesday afternoon granted a temporary
order restraining Mr. Qelse'lman from
printing the ticket that Bight aa he bad
announced was bis Intention and set tho
matter for final hearing yesterday morn-
ing at o'clock.
The case was called promptly on time
Messrs. Ewlng dt. Ring appearing aa
counsel for Judge Vasmer and Messrs.
Andrews Bail A Streetmaa and Sara R
Ferryman for Uemelman. . ..
The hearing of the caaa consumed pretty
much the entire day. and at times It
ml little acrimonious.
No oral testimony wss offered but
supporting affidavits were presented In
Urge numbers these setting up pro and
con much of thMmtttlcal history of the
county during recent years. The argu-
meets were also extended and about
ovary phase of tho questions Involved
was threshed over. .
As above stated tha court finally ruled
that U was without authority to grant
the prayer of the petitioner and dis-
solved the temporary writ granted the
day before leaving Mr. Qelselman free
to proceed with the wort of printing tho
official ballot which will not show the
name of Judge Vaaraar In the abeenoa
of soma further move hi the premises.
VA8MER S NEXT MOVE.
It Is admitted that . V earner's counsel
has the right to seek similar relief from
any district or higher court Judge and
that he will do so there to little doubt:
Asked yesterdar regarding .his Inten-
tions Judge Vastier stated he had noth-
ing whatever to say. "When 1 am out
on a drive I never lay down" said he
with a smile as he proceeded down tho
"chairman Gelselman has. as before
stated closed the ticket and Judge Vaa-
mer's name la not upon It
In addition to the names previously
Eubllshed that of M.- Henry Thompson
as been ! as a candidate for ex-
ecutive committeeman from the Second
ward This Is the precinct in which Chair-
man Oelselman resides and from which
he seeks re-election to tho committee. .
EXCUSE THE JURORS.
Suggestion I Made that They Be
Excused Next Thursday.
It has been suggested that there are
many Jurors from tha country In tho
city who may not be able to vote If
they are kept In attendance on tha va-
rious courts until tho - nlvht of July S:
and It is further suggested - that tha '
Judges might to 'enable them to vote
excuse these Jurors Thursday evening
Instead of waiting until Friday evening
aa they would have no time m which to
Set home and vote except by traveling
urlng tha night and that might not be
the moat agreeable matter for the Jury-
men who desire to vote.

Houston Labor Journal.' Shortly after-
ward the body reappVared before the
court and Informed the Judge that be had
refused to answer questions propounded
to him.
It was alleged that Mr. Andrew In his
publication had attributed the dynamit-
ing of the resort to certain parties and
the body sought to ascertain ' what he
knew of the matter. It was also desired
to 'Interrogate Wr. Andrew with refer-
ence to mattera outlined In the Judge's
special 'charge to the body.
- When interrogated by Judge Olllasple
Mr. Andrew stated that he had refused
to answer the questions asked him for
the reason that he might Incriminate
himself he being a member of the arbi-
tration committee of the Houston Labor
Council and also president of the Texas
Federation of Labor.
The court passed the matter over until
t o'clock at which time Mr. Andrew re-
appeared represented by counsel who
moved that Mr H. F. MaeQregor a
member of the grand Jury be removed
from the betdy upon the ground that he
was the vice president and a large stock-
holder In the street railway company
and in any Investigation that might be
made by that body about boycotting or
other Incidents resulting from the street
car strike he would In a measure be a
prosecutor and disqualified to pass upon
the matter.
He also set up the claim that In testify-
ing to matters Inquired about by the
grand Jury he might incrlmlnater.hlm-
self. -
MATTER NOT ENDED.
Aa reasons for not challenging the
right of Mr. MacOregor to act- on the
grand Jury at the time It was first Im-
paneled It was stated that the conditions
now complained of bad not then arisen
nor could it then nave been anticipated
that they would arise. .
Judge Olllasple after hearing the mo-
tion refused to relieve Mr. MaeQregor
from duty as a member ot-the body.
After this step had been taken It was
decided to postpone the second attempt
to have Mr. Andrew testify before the
grand Jury until this morning. Just what
will then result Is not known.
The rights of Andrew In the premises
were the subject of considerable discus-
sion yesterday afternoon. It was freely
admitted that no man could be forced to
Incriminate himself In the giving of tes-
timony but the question aa to who should
be the Judge of the nature of tho evidence
so given was not ao clear.
It Is understood that tbe grand Jury
desires to interrogate Mr. Andrew rela-
tive to puhltcfltlnns in hl naner In con-
nection both with the dynamiting out.
rage and the boycotting In connection
with or trowing out of the street car
strike.
LABOR FORCES
Several Speakers Were Heard on
Court Erase Square.
RING ON "THE BOYCOTT
Declares It a Dangerous Weapon
.-. and Advises Caution in Its
Use Strike- Still On.
A large crowd gathered on the court
house square laat night In response to the
announcement that a mass meeting would
be held in the Interest of the street car
men.
The meeting was called to order .by
President Leach of tbe Houston Letbor
Council who made a few opening re-
marks and then Introduced Mr. - E. C
Rosa chairman of the Labor Council ar-
bitration committee.
Mr. Ross spoke along the lines of the
many addresses he has delivered at val
noua times since tne striae was aectarea
and suited .that organised labor in Houa-
ton waa standing lirmly by the tight ana
hoped to win becauee tbe cause was a
just one and one that organised labor
aa a whole in the city of Houston was
vitally Interested In.
He then paid hia respects to Mr. J.
West Goodwin of Bedaiia Mo. who be
stated had long been lighting orgsntfvtl
labor alleging that he had come to Hous-
ton to foment strife and to array tne
merchant Snd business man agsjnst the
laboring man.
He stated thst the Interests of the la-
boring man and those of the business
man were identical inasmuch as the mer-
chant depended upon the - woraing man
tne atoe of his wsae being important tt
him In that the working man who secured
a good wage waa thus enabled to apend
more money.
ADAMS WAS NEXT.
Mr. Ross waa followed by Mr. George
Adams Who upon taking tho atand de-
clared he was not a member of the Cltl-
asna Alliance. Tbe laboring man's pa-
per of thla city he stated contained a
full page of the names of the different
officers of the different laboring organi-
sations la the city. He defied any news-
paper In the city to print the names of
the members of the CtUsens' Alliance.
. Mr. Adams then read an editorial from
a recent issue of a local namr wherein
f the paper stated that It waa in favor of
evganated labor out condoned the boy-
cott aa Inexcusable.
He stated that the boycott waa as old
history that the party of men who
dumped the tea overboard In Huston aur-
bor were boyrotters and hv giat sc;'i
they said to England and anyone wim
should use that tea that tney aa a free-
born people would exercise the right to
boycott them.
Mr. Adama admonished the members
of organised labor m tha city to uphold
the law stating that so long as they did
so he waa with them but that whenever
they resorted to violence be waa against
them.
- MR. ringTaddresb.
Mr. H. F. Ring was the next Hpeaker
Introduced and bis address was consider-
ed the' feature of the evening. He waa
conservative and went to what he termed
the root of all troubles among tho labor-
ing classes when he stated that there
were not enough Jobs to go aroQnd and
that that was the reason when there was
a striae there were pen to take the jobs
of the strikers.
Vniti sxtstlng conditions he believed
that the- organisation of labor waa ab-
solutely neeeeeary for the protection of
the working man. Organised labor he
stated. upheld the wage of the working
maa and he atated that he did not have
much respect for the working man who
refuses to join 'and pay dues to maintain
an organisation In the line that be is
working. He heu the utmost contempt
be stated for the man who would under-
bid and take another man'a job.
Referring to the boycott he stared that
It was a dangerous weapon and one that
should be used only In extreme cases
and then only by the most conservative
men tn a meet conservative manner. It
waa -a two-edged sword he atated and
cut both ways.
Ha stated that be was Impressed with
the fact that during this strike there
'had been but little disorder and admon-
ished tha anion men to maintain law and
order. He atated that ir cm see where
lawlessness waa resorted V the other
side could discount the lar Jng element
ten to ope snd then be referred to tbe
condition of affaire In Colorado where
be atated. tho monopoly of mine owner
had brought about a state of affaire that
waa a disgrace to American rvllrsation.

pendent upon organised labor for tbe
wagee they received and that whenever
a blow was directed at organised labor It
went right to the heart of anorganlsad

In eloslng the meeting. Mr. Leach stated

company had Industriously circulated the
report that-the strike had been lost. He
desired to sAy that the strike would be
