Paying Money to Induee the President of
the Local Newsdealers' Association TO
Sell Out His Fellow Dealers in the
Fight-The Status of the Struggle.
The New York World is continually
blowing its own horn as to how it has un-
earthed all the great frauds practiced here
abouts for the past two years, and take
particular pride in the manner in which it
laid bare the methods by which the Bread
way Railroad franchise was obtained from
the Board of Aldermen of New York In
1884. Bat the same heinous offence for
which fourteen Doodle Aldermen are under
Indictment now in the metropolis, and for
which one is serving out a ten years SEN
tence in Sing Sing, has been committed
in spirit, If not in law, by the world IN
its effort to beat the Jersey City
newsdealers in their fight for more
pay for the handling of the paper:
Edward j. Whelan is President OF
Newsdeafers Union No. of this
CITY. and as such likely to have the most
irfiuence among the newsdealers connected
with the Union. William II. Kuyksnaall
is the Manager of the East Brooklyn News
Company, and on agent for Lovell's L.
brary and the National Weekly Story
Paper, as well as the manager of the New
York "World's" dirty work in this particu-
lar instance. Kuykendall came to Jer-
sew City ON Friday last osteHsi-
bly to see Mr. Whelan On bust
ness connected with the circulation of the
National Weekly Story Paper. Kuy
kendall met Whelan as his stand at the
ferry ard asked him to take drink at
Taylor's Hotel. The conversation finally
drifted to the Worlds fight and Kuyken
dali finally stated that he could control $50
to be divided between himself and the man
in Jersey City, who would join with him
and influence the dealers to withdraw all
opposition so that the circulation of the
s:World" would be fully restored by the
time Joseph Pulitzer returned from EaIope.
Whelan susr ected Kuykendall all the
time and led him on. Finally Kuykendall
pulled out ten dollar bill from his vest
pocket and said:
81 guess you're with me, so here's SIZE
all have in my pocket now.-atd | will
meet you at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the
International Hotel ON Park Row, and give
you the balance"
Whelan took the money and agreed to
meet him at the appointed time and place
As soon as Ksykendan had left him
Whelan hunted up his associates IN the
Frederick Ramsey, Joseph Amberg
and Louis Fackert, told them of what had
transpired and requested them to watch
the transactions between himself and Kuy
kendall in Rev York. They complied
with his request Kuykendsll was on
time. He told Whelan that Mr.. MeGufhn,
of the ssWorld" thought that he (Whslan)
could use $50 additional to much better
advantage than $25. He thereupen filed
in and signed an order on the "World"
cashier which Whslan signed and Kuy
kendall presented and got cashed, handing
the $50 to Whelan. Whelan will make NO
use Of the money whatever bub hslds it
subject to the order of Joseph Pulitzsr OF
his proper agent.
The exposure of the Worlds "boodle !"
scheme, to save itself by corruption, Great
ed excitement at the meeting of the News
dealers Union on Friday night, and made
the dealers all the more firm in their deter
mination not continue 70 handle the sheet
at the starvation rates. 1t was urged that
the World circulated here as . local and
New York paper combined for the price OF
the local papers, and hundreds OF people,
who have heretofore taken the local after
noen papers, have Instructed their dealers
to leave the 90 World" and drop the LEGAL
paper. Thus the dealer gets but half
cent profit for delivering practically tive
papers, whereas formerly they got three
quarters of a cent for delivering the local
sheet, besides their profit on the morning
paper.
it was decided at the meeting that wher-
ever customer insisted on having the
world" it would be supplied, bnt where
the demand is not urgent, efforts will be
made to induce the readers to take other
papers pending the fight with the World
and thus aid them in getting what is justly
due them. The "World will not be ex-
poeed on the stands and every means will
be adopted to discourage its circulation, at
least until the newsdealers' demands are
cnmnliad with
