A New York Journal Accuses Jockey
Murphy With Drunkenness.
New YORK, August 26th.-The Tribune
is very severe in its report of Murphy
riding of Firenzi in the Monmouth handi.
cap. 1t charges him with gross drunken
ness in the saddle. 1t discredits any idea
of any one drugging his drink. Firenzi
was jerked all about the track, and came in
last when she was the favorite.
The Tribune says this was a singular
piece of conduct on the part of this jockey.
Haggin had treated him with marked lib
erality. He was receiving a generous sal
ary.
1t is reported that Haggin paid him $10,-
600 for the racing season. Jockeys sala-
ries are often exaggerated. but it is certain
that Haggin pays Murphy more than So 900
for the season. Murphy also gets outside
mounts. He has not been compelled to
waste himself to weakness by reducing his
weight, because almost all of his riding
this year for Haggin has been on Salvador
and Firenzi, and they have always been in
races at so heavy weights that Murphy
could ride them without any extensive re-
duction
1t was shameful way in which to treat
so liberal and open haBd ded an employer as
Haggin. II was wrong; an outrage on the
public. as Salvador and Firenzi are turf

MASS Meeting OF knights OF Labor In
New York.
NEW York, August 26th.-About 300 per.
sons, including curiosity-seekers and a
heavy police force, attended a mess meet
ing of the knights of Labor in Union
Square tonight. 1t did not equal either in
number or enthusiasm the expectations OF
the projectors. The interest centered
mainly in PowGerly.
The former employees of the New York
Central, of this city. marched in body to
the Square behind drum corps.
Mrs. Margaret Moore, who figures promi-
nently in Irish politics in this city, gave a
five-minute address. She counseled organ
ization among the laboring classes and ad-
vocated self-reliance.
A letter of regret for non-attendance was
read from Samuel Gompers, President of
the federation of labor. He sympathiZed
with the men, and denounced the COM
pany.
Powderly was the next speaker. He
said: You may feel disheartened because
the Terre Haute Convention did not de-
clare a general strike. Your Executive
Board did not expect it would. All we ex-
pected was to have their support, and they
are with us, horse, foot and artillery.
[Cheers They say our battle must go
on. and go on 1t will. The Central Rail
way officers may talk about goods being
delivered, but they don't tell the truth.
There are many merchants in New York
who know different"
Powderly dealt with Webb's charges that
the men were discharged for drunkenness
or other causes prejudicial to the interests
of the company. The speaker next dealt
with Chief Arthur. He said Arthur re-

officials at New Haven, and they put their

The strike which we have inaugurated, I"
he said, ''is not only strike of the people

The meeting then listened to fiery pre-
amble, followed by resolutions which de-
nounced the Central officers as arbitrary
and tyrannical.

Interview With the Director of the Mint
Regarding 1t.

Interview with the Director of the Mint
Regarding 1t.
New York, August 26th-A special from
Washington gives an interview with the
Director of the Mint. He says: IF silver
should reach its gold parity. the Govern
ment will continue to buy 500. 600 ounces
per month. The new law does not pro-
vide that purchases shall cease when silver
reaches parity, but that the Government
shall not pay in excess of 81 for 37l4 grains
of pure silver-o-. what is the same thing
shall not pay in excess of 81 1929 per fine
ounce. The amount of pure silver in the
silver dollar being 3704 grains, if the Gov
ernment paid 81 1929 per fine ounce. it
would be paying exactly 81 for 3714 grains;
that is to say, the market value of pure
silver in the silver dollar would be exactly
equal to the face value of the coin, so that
the Government could lose nothing by con.
tinuing to buy at that rate, which the law
contemplates. While this would not be
free coinage, and in the absence of further
legislation there is no provision for free
coinage. it would be practically free coinage
for 500, 900 ounces per month
