COMBINE OF THE oLAssMAKERs
Its Object to Out Expenses and Raise
the Standard

CHICAGO. Oct 29.-The members OF the
Window Glass Manufacturers Association.
who held preliminary meeting in this city
several weeks ago, convened again yester-
day. The following officers were elected:
James A. Chambers of Pittsburq. president
Thomas T. Hart of Muncie. Ind, vice presi-
de1t; William Loeffisr of Pittsbu q. treas
urer, and .. E. Frazer of Chicago.
secretary. IL was decided that the
general Offices of the COMPANY nv shall hall
be in Pittsburg. The report of the admin
lstrators who have had charge Of the opera
tions of the American Window Glass Com
pany, organized to take charge of the
output Of the factories in the combination.
came before the meeting and was disposed
OF after a short discussion. The meeting
spent nearly five hours in endeavoring to
solve the problem OF how to get those glass
manufacturers who, at present are not
members of the combination, within their
ranks. The Selma Glass Company is un-
derstood to be the chief opponent of the
trust. The question OF prices did not come
up. It Is understood that that matter was
settled at the last meeting.
OBJECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION.
Mr.. Loeffier, in explaining the work Of the
session, said: al don't consider that this
organization Is trust as that is properly
understood. The object of the organize
ton is to save the great expense to which
each individual manufacturer is subjected
in selling and distributing his product. The
executive board, which has not yet been
appointed, will manage the placing of
orders for glass, all of which received by
any member of the company will be re-
ferred to them. 1t is often that orders for
glass are filled in each others territory by
distant manufacturers, and as, unfortu-
nately, glass men pay all freight to jobbers,
they expend vast sums in that way which
could be saved.
TO RAISE THE STANDARD
"Another object of the company's forma-
ton is to so raise the standard of American
glass that the products will be equal In
quality to imporcatiops, and the foreign
article kept out. We can make all
the glass for this country and want to do
so. As it is now many of the small manu-
facturers make an inferior article of glass.
We rate glass in quality as firsts, seconds.
etc. Individual dealers often sell thirds
or fourths for seconds, which results in
great dissatisfaction 30 the consumer. As
a result he vows that he will buy standard
foreign glass. The executive board of our
company will maintain a number of in
spectors who will travel among the facto-
ries, grading the product according to a
uniform standard. This, 1 think, will
greatly improve the grade of American
glass"

TO have Made a Confession.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22-James Will
Jams, colored youth, relates a story which
is likely TO prove an important link in the
Hennessy case. He was acquainted with
Caspero Marcheas. the 14-year-old son Of
one of the men charged with completely In
numbering Chief Hennessy.
The Italian boy was arrested with his
father, but was released, as no one identified
him. Williams met the boy afterward and
asked him how he got out Of jail. Marcheas
replied that be had turned states
evidence against his father, that
the latter made him stand on
Girod street and watch for the chief, told
him to whistle when Chief Hennessy ap~
preached, and then run to the Poydras mar
ket. The whistle was the signal for his
father and the others TO come out Of the
shanty on Girod street. He did as told on
the night of the murder, and his father and
another Italian Joined him at the market

LIBERTY, Mo-, Oct. 32-Coroner Roth
well held an inquest to-day over the re-
mains Of Fireman John Wright, who lost
his life in the freight wreck yesterday on
the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul raj
way. The evidence showed that the spikes
had been drawn from one rail, and the rail
displaced, being held out of its proper posi-
ton by a crowbar. Engineer Cullen died
of his injuries this afternoon.
SURPRISED IN THE ACT,
George Smith of this place, while walking
on the track of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railway near here, surprised
four men at work loosening the rails. He
informed the police, but the would-be-
wreckers had disappeared when the officers
arrived on the ground. They were evil
IDENTIFY preparing to shift the rails in
order to wreck the Burlington passenger
train. Great excitement exists In this
locality over the discovery, and it is greatly
increased by the result of the coroner's in
vestigation into the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul wreck, which proved that it,
also, was accomplished by train wreckers.

AN IMAGINARY WRONG.
There is great deal of wrong being done
in this country to-day. Eight million Of
people with their representatives were de-

men who had no more right TO them than
they had a right to seats in the British par
Lament.

A great cry was set up over the Lodge
bill depriving the people Of their rights.
Ii did deprive them Of the right to steal
ballot boxes, disfranchise the negroes and
doctor the returns. The nation had a right
to know about these methods In the south.

has anything to do with their feelings on
