In the meantime it was discovered that
John G. Thompson General Warner and

NEw YORK, July A gigantic couspi-

the elevated railroads of this city out Of

Byrnes, and three of the principals arrested.
About month ago Colonel Hahn, General
Manager of the elevated roads of this city,
called upon Inspector ByrneS and informed
him that he had good reason to believe that
large quantity of forged tickets were be-
ing issued from a number of stations. In
spector Byrnes, after making an investiga-
ton, found that W. Pender, a ticket-seller
at the Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue
up town station was selling forged tickets
by wholesale. Pender was Immediately ar
rested, and on being searched a number Of
forged and genuine tickets and papers were
fonnd duplicating John r. Cole, of 3s
Irving street, Woodside, n. j., in the con.
spiracy.
Cole it was learned, was formerly an en-
ploye. of the road and was discharged for
stealing, and it is believed that he first
started the conspiracy and went to num-
Der of ticket agents and offered to give them
forged tickets in return for genuine tickets.
By this scheme it was proposed to obtain
800, 900 worth of genuine tickets, which
the conspirators would dispose Of at various
stores at a reduction, and then destroy all
traces ofthe crime The agents who agreed
to participate in the swindle were to receive
learned that August c. Speth, lithograph-
er, of 80 Maiden lane, had printed the forg-
ed tickets. He was also arrested and the
police searched his house, where they found
i complete plant of machinery, including
orged stamps and paper.
The three prisoners were locked up in the
central Office where they made a full con
ession and implicated large number o.

the bad trade of the past three years was
the chief cause Of the failure. They had

ties on raw material, so they could compete
with foreign manufacturers, but Congress
would not do it. They lost their export

can put their goods on this market at lower
prices than they can be manufactured here.
We have the best workmen and skill here,
