prolong its reign by endeavoring to work
upon the preiudices of the people, until all

The fact that the principals of the

their institution a preference over

President Polk Gives the Farmers Alliance
Final Send-Of.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArcHt
Mt. GRETNA, August 22.-Flve thou
sand people were present at the Farmers
Encampment to-day. which, for Friday,
is considered large attendance. ColonelL.
L. Polk, President OF the Farmers National
Alliance, addressed a considerable number
Of agriculturists and others in the audi
torium. He showed that the order of which he
was the head was making rapid strides, and
that neither of the political parties in the
country had done anything to relieve the
farmer. While he did not advocate separate
political action by the alliance, he advised
its members to discriminate in favor of their
friends when they voted. The Exhibitors
Union, to whose efforts primarily
the encampment is due, this after
noon adopted a resolution to have an
other encampment at Mt Gretna next
year, in view OF the success of the one Just
closing. A resolution was also adopted
thanking Robert II. Coleman for the i'm
portant part he took in making the engage
ment a success-in other words. for the
money he expended in. providing proper ac-
commodatious for the display Of farm and
other machinery.
This afternoon much of the machinery was
removed, preparatory to being taken to
Williams Grove. About one-third of the
machinery will be taken to that place, but
the manufacturers represented by the Ex-
hibitors' Union, will have very little ma
chinery at the old picnic ground.

A FUNNY INVESTIGATION.
COMMISSIONER RAUM HAS A GOOD TIME,
BUT COOPER GETS MAD.

The Books of the Refrigerator Company
Opened to the Committee, bur the Pros-
| ecutor i, NOT Allowed TO See Them-A
Question of Procedure.
WASHINGTON, August 22.-Commis-
sioner Raum continued his testimony be-
fore the Investigating Committee to-day.
He said that some of the money he obtained
from Lemon went into the refrigerator com.
pany, but declined to state how much.
Mr. Cooper presented an article published
June 8. containing denial of truth of the
charges brought by Mr.. Cooper.
The Commissioner denied that the article
had been prepared in his office and aiken to
General Boyton. He had had NJ mber OF
interviews about that time with newspaper
men on this subject.
Commissioner Raum said that probably
Mr.. Lemon had spoken to him about ad-
vauced cases before he submitted his letter.
Certainly other attorneys had done so. AS
to the system of completed files, the witness
said that the pension Office relied solely
upon the certificate of the attorney, who
was assumed to be a credible person, being
accredited by court that the case was COM
plete and ready for action.
LITTLE TILT.
Mr.. Cooper remarked that he objected to
that procedure?
"You didn't always object" replied the
Commissioner.
Mr.. Cooper wished to know what he
meant, and the witness replied: You
have filed hundreds and thousands of slips
for attorneys.
Mr.. Cooper-As member of Congress?
Witness-Yes, but for attorneys.
Mr.. Cooper-Well, I did not ido it while
you were in Office
The Commissioner produced statement
of the cases on the completed files, showing
that there were now 1864 such cases, In
cluding S,110 of Mr. Lemons cases. Four
other attorneys had 4,56S, 4,101, 3,253 and
i, 1,765 cases respectively on the files. The
pension firm which had present the largest
number OF completed cases this month was
Marriny & Co., Mr.. Cooper's friends.
COOPER GETS MAD.
This concluded the Commissioners e1-
animation, and Martin Baily, Chief of the
Law Division of the Pension Bureau, was
called and gave testimony relative to the
Office practice, adding that no particular
consideration had ever been shown in the
treatment OF Mr.. Lemons cases as he knew
absolutely.
Commissioner Raum next produced the
stock book of the refrigerator company and
furnished list of stockholders, which was
verified by the committee. He testified that
it contained the name of no employe in the
Pension Office except his own, and that no
stock was ever offered to any employe.
Mr.. Cooper declared that the proceeding
was ex parte; that it was beneath the
dignity of a member of Congress or respect
vestigation Che had not been permitted to
look at the stock book).
The committee offered TO allow him to in
spect the verified list, but he refused to do
SO unless he could obtain access to the books
themselves. So the committee adjourned to
meet September 1.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
ALTOONA, August 22.-The Democratic
primary election will be held in this city
tomorrow evening. The factions are hard
at work and each are confident Of success.
The principal fight will be over the Chair
manship OF the County Committee.
Thomas J. Burke, a prominent business
man of this city, and John Dunphy, the
present Chairman, are leaders in the contest
From present indications Burke will carry
this city, and his friends claim that Dunphy
will not be in the fight after the votes are
counted.
In the Third ward an effort will be made
to defeat the delegates who have pronounced
for Thomas A. Greevy for Congress. The
crusade is being made by the friends Of
Dunphy. Their opposition will not amount
to much, and the Greevy delegates Will go
through with rush. The convention will
be held in Hollidaysburg on Monday, and
1t promises to be full of interest on account
OF the split on the craftsmanship. So far
very few names have been mentioned in
connection with the offices to be filled.

BUILDING WILL STOP.
CHICAGO UNION CARPENTERS CERTAINLY
BOOKED FOR A STRIKE.

Overfures scornfully Rejected by the Bosses
Association-Thirty Thousand Work.
men Likely to Become Idle aud Business
Completely Suspended.
CHICAGO, August 22.-At meeting of
the Executive Committee of the Master
Builders and Carpenters Association +,
Familiarity known as the Old Bosses Asso-
citation, held this afternoon, the overtures
made by hejourneymen carpenters council
for an amicsble settlement of the differences
existing, was answered by communication,
which can hardly fail to further separate
the organizations, and the determination on
the part OF the carpenters to strike Septem-
Der 1.
At Thursday night's 'smeeting of the Car
penters' Council it was resolved to make
another effort to avert strike, by offering
to arbitrate with the bosses the existing
troubles. With this object in view, the
council unanimously adopted an address,
which was sent to the master builders,
agreeing to submit all differences to arbi-
Eration. The reply of the bosses this after
noon sarcastically refers the journeymen to
the latter's refusal to arbitrate in the spring,
when the bosses were willing to
submit to any tribunal every question
except that Of their right to employ
non-unionists. The reply also enumerates
alleged ofenses of the unionists during the
summer in slugging non-union men, raiding
buildings, etc. 1t is further declared that
no union men except those who have delib-
erately lied are in the employ OF old bosses,
and that the employers would welcome a
strike of all such.
As the new Bosses Association have also
refused to arbitrate, there is apparently no
recourse for the Carpenters Union except
surrender or new general strike. Should
the 900 members of the union quit, it is
estimated that within two weeks 80, 900 other
workmen will quit and that building trades
of Chicago will be brought to standstill.
