THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Trouble Not Expected to Begin for Three
or Four Days, or Perhaps Week.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 20-There are no new devel-
opments In the impending strike of the knights
of Labor today. Mr.. A. c. Coughlin, OF the
Wabash committee, does not anticipate any
trouble for three or four days, and very likely
for week. The Southwestern system commit
tee is authorized by the national executive COM
mittee to order general strike in the West
whenever deemed advisable. All authentic
cases of knights discharged for obeying the
general order affecting the handling of Wabash
cars will be reported to the Southwestern COM
mittee, who will keep them on file and consider
them at such time as they think all branch
organizations have received the first general
order A strike is not likely to be ordered inside
of Monday. Locally there have been no refusals
to work this morning, so far as is now known.

district, being interviewed, stated that the use

SUSPENDED FOR TWELVE YEARS.
The Finding of the Court Martial Ap-
proved by the President after
Beng Returned Twice.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The President has
finally approved the findings of the court
martial which tried Brig.-Gen. Swain. The
verdict of the court is, that Swain be sus
pended from rank and duty for twelve years
and forfeit half his monthly pay during this
period. This finding, which the President
has approved, was the third in this case.
The first verdict of the court suspended the
accused from rank, duty and pay for three
years. The President sent this back as not
commensurate with the offenses as found by
the court. Upon reconsideration the court
revoked its former sentence and found as
follows: "To be suspended from rank and
duty for one year, with the forfeiture of all
pay for the same period, and at the end of
that period be be reduced to the grade of
Judge Advocate with rank of Major in the
Judge Advocate Generals department" This
second finding the President agmn returned,
disapproved, on the ground that the sentence
was not sufficiently severe and also for the
reason that To place the accused in lower
rank in the department in which the Office
now held by him is part, is impossible of en-
forcement by the executive alone. With
this criticism before them the Court martial
finally decided to suspend Swain for twelve
years. President Arthur, while approving
the sentence. as the best of the three, says it
is difficult TO understand how the court
could be willing to have Swain retained as
Il pensioner upon the army register. While
it expressed its sense of his important Office
the two earlier sentences, under either of
which he would have been deprived perman-
emily of his functions. The twelve year 8
suspension dates beyond the time of Swain 9

CASHIERS CASES.
Action Before Judge Shipman at New
Haven Yesterday.

NKw HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 4.-in the
United States Court to-day, Judge Shipman
presiding, the cases of Cashier James w.
Mech and Assistant Cashier Charles Webb,
Of the Merchants National Bank, and
Cashier VIM Roath, of Shetucket National
Bank, all of Norwich, who defaulted to a
large amount, came up for trial. Much in
terest is manifested in these cases from the
high position formerly occupied by the
accused. The court this morning was
crowded. Judge Shipman, IN his charge to
the grand Jury, reviewed the National Bank
ing Act, particularly IN regard TO violations.
The law was CAREFUL yrietined and citations
of previous cases were reported and read.
1T is needless TO dwell said Judge Ship
man "upon the magnitude of the offences"
The indictment submitted TO the Grand
Jury IN the cases against Mech and Webb
contained three counts. First two against
each were indicted as follows: First Count
EmbezZling $40, 900; second-fal5e entries IN
cash assists of S63. l26.OO; third, (against
Meech) that he underestimated the amount
of $4,000 demand certificates of deposit in
his report to the Compt oller of Currency.
The third count against Webb Is for max
ing a certificate of deposit of $4,000 and re-
fusing to enter il on the bank records.
There are four counts against Roath, a.
follows: First, embeZZlement of $1,000;
second, false entry In books by bill discount
ed, 5000; third, false entry in report to
Comptroller of loans and discount;
fourth, perjury in swearing TO facts named
in third count The grand jury had not
come into court at adjournment tonight.
Ex-Gov. Waller, counsel for the defense,
says none of the accused will make any
defense, but if true bill is found by the
grand jury and it seems it cannot find other
wise,-they would plead guilty, and their
counsel would be summoned only TO plead
for a minimum penalty.
