NEW YoRE, October 2l.-The National
Democratic Committee issues the following
tonight:
TO The Public: When this campaign
opened the National Democratic Commit
tee contracted with the American Union
and Western Union Telegraph Companies
for special rates for their business, and
arranged with said companies that all tele-
grams sent or received by the committee
should be returned at the end OF each
week to the cashier OF the committee as
vouchers for bills rendered. Telegrams 80
sent or received by our committee have
been returned under this arrangement
weekly and paid for according TO contract.
On Wednesday morning, October 20, the
Western Union Telegraph Company re:
turned TO the committee vouchers as usual
for the second week in October. Upon
their being examined by our cashier to
verify the amount, the following kilograms
were found in the package 80 sent US as
vouchers, evidently being mistake on
the part OF the official having the same In
charge at the office OF the Western Union
Telegraph Company. The kilograms are
written upon Western Union blanks, and
are as follows:

The numerals $780," 400" and 400"
in this last telegram mean 30 many men.
These kilograms, or rather the one ad-
dressed to j. W. Wicker, U. s. Collector at
the port Of Key West, Fla, tells its own
story. The sun had not gone down in the
State OF Indiana, where one OF the greatest
frauds ever perpetrated on free govern
ment and free ballot was about to be
consunmated, vixen the Chairman Of the
National Republican Committee and an
official OF the United States government
were preparing to repeat In the State oi
Florida the infamy then about to be con-
summated in the State Of Indiana. The
committee we're advised previous to the
receipt OF these kilograms that the State Of
Florida was about to be overrun by the re-
peaters Of our large cities. The telegrams
Of Mr.. Jewell only confirm what the COM
mittee well knew to be the fact.
The above telegrams are in the posses
sion Of the committee. They are written
in copying ink, have been copied in q let
ter.press book, and bear the telegraph re.
ceiver's checks and marks, and this COM
mittee dedes any one to assert that they
are not genuine. The kilograms are now
being Autographed, and will be given to
the public in q day or two.

THE LAKE DISASTERS.
More Serious Results of the Recent Storm

Developing Daily.
DETROIT, October 22.-The schooner
May Garret, ladened with coal, which left
Cleveland one week ago for Amhersburgh,
at the mouth OF the Detroit, has not been
heard from since. 1t is feared she Is lost
with all on board. Propellers which arrived
here to-day report last Saturdays storm
on Lake Superior one Of unprecedented
fury. The Arizona, OF the Lake Superior
Transit Company's line, experienced great
difficulty in making Duluth Harbor, the
waves running thirty and forty feet high.
The India, OF the same line, broke her
wheel chain and fell into trough sea and
rolled ieariully. Her final escape from
laundering was almost a miracle.
PRovIDENTrALLY PRESERVED.
MILWAUKEE, October 22.-Walter W.
Wallis and wife, OF this city, whose
names appeared in the list OF those lost
on the Alpena, have arrived here safely.
Instead oil taking passage on the Alpena
they went to Chicago by rail.
THE MISSING EUROPE.
CHICAGO, October 22.-The only addi-
tional news regarding the missing propsl-
lor Europe is a dispatch from her owner
saying that the Neelen, her tow, has been
let loose and Is now in port at South
Manitou. He believes the Europe Is
wind bound In some place, and will turn
up some place.
TIE ALPRSA AND EUROPE.
CHICAGO, October 22.-The propeller
Europe arrived in port to-day, having
been out in the greater part of the terrific
storm OF Friday, Saturday, Sunday and
Monday. She was badly broken up, but
not seriously damaged.
1t was learned to-day that steam barge,
name unknown, Is sunk of Two Rivers,
Wisconsin, and that about ten miles
higher up masts are visible above the
waters edge.
The Tribune learns that the paddle
house OF the wrecked Alpena, which came
ashore to-day at Holland, was ingeniously
arranged to float and support number Of
persons. That nobody remained upon Il
Is sufficient proof Of the fury OF the storm.

that this manner of adjusting losses Is

theless, 10 the avowed practice, and
claimed to be the unquestioned privil-
ege Of the company named. The off,
GERS boldly assert that such Ii the case {.
They claim that the money made on the
share Of your policyis
HELD AS SURPLUS
And is paid out In the settlement of
other losses, and that for such losses no
assessment Of members II made. But
the fact still stands that this company
did assess for the loss in the Warren
claim, and that the amount received
aggregated to moro than twice the
amount paid on the loss. One also hears
of cases in several places in the North
west part of the State where there are
many policy holders. Attorneys from
Putnam county have similar cases in
their hands.
In the Bradley case, heretofore men
toned, assessment was made as in the
Warren case, and as there Is claimed to
be 8 600 to 10000 members, and that,
allowing for losses, the association
would probably receive about $6, 600 to
$1,000 on each of these assessments,
there would be big margin for some
purpose and some one. Being about
5000 or "a Goo. under the claims OF
the Officers, this amount would be the
property Of the company to do with as
they choose.
In this connection II should be borne
in mind that the system of CD operative
insurance should not be condemned be
cause it has been abused in particular
instances. When honestly conducted,
mutual benefit insurance is the cheapest
that can be obtained, and there ale
number of substantial companies in
this State-some in this city. The abu-
ses that have been exposed can be rem
edied to q great extent by State super
vision. and the solid associations, as
we'll as the .nembers, are demanding
speedy Legislation looking to this end.

ELYRIA.

March %.
This morning at 4 O'Clock, Mr.. Arte-
mas Beebe, Sr., the last of the six orig
inal settlers and founders of Elyria,
passed away. His death was not at all
unexpected. His heal lth has been fail
ing for some months, and he had rapid
ly declined since the sixty-third ami
versary of his settlement here, which
was celebrated here two weeks ago.
Mr.. Beebe was born October z, 1898,
In Russell, Hampton county, Mass, and
like mary another enterprising young
man he looked to the West as the best
place to make fame and fortune. On
the goth of February 1917, the following
persons left Springfield, Mass, for
Ohio, which was then considered as
s.the Far West:" Heman Ely, Sr., Ell
enezer Lane, afterwards chief justice /;
Mr.. Artemas Beebe, Sr., Luther Lane,
Ann Snow, and Ned, a colored boy.
These founders of Elyria arrived here
March 18th, 1917, after an overland
journey of several weeks.
MT. beeDe mas ever nao deep inter-
est in the prosperity and welfare of his
town. He built the first frame build
ing ever constructed. Ia Elyria, and
from that small begir ming lie has been
witness Of its growth, and an import
ant factor among our real estate own
ers. The Beebe House, which was
built good many years ago, was the
largest and finest structure ever built
by Mr.. Beebe. 1t was In its day, one of
the finest hotels In the State.
On October 4th, 1920, Mr.. Beebe was
married to Miss PArmelia NJ. Morgan,
with whom he lived nearly three-score
years. Mrs. Beebe died June &c, 1873.
The funeral Of Mr.. Beebe will take
place on Thursday Of this week. He
