ACCUSED AS A SPY.
Central Labor Union Irving
Delegate Spring.
COMMITTEE IN SECRET SESSION.
A Delegate Forced to Stand Up to
Charges That Spring Is
Sullivan Detective.

committee OF five appointed by the Western
OF the Hod Carriers Union, on charges preferred
BIZ Delegate W. Comax, of the 'Longshoremen's
Union, met last night at the Western Central
Labor Union hall and continued in session hear
ing testimony until almost midnight. As it was
impossible to conclude the hearing last night, a
recess was taken until this evening, when the
trial will be resumed.
The whole affair seems to be another manifes-
tation of the trouble between the Knights of
Labor and Western Central Labor Union which
originated in the Hod Carriers Union over
year ago. Comax is a knight of Labor, and
takes sides with that organization as against the
unions, and it is rumored that in recent meet
ing of the Western Central declared that there
were Sullivan detectives in that body; but on
being pressed for proof OF his assertion, refused
to furnish any or say who the alleged detectives
were.
1t is said that the matter was then ear
ried into the Longshoremen's Union, of
which Comax Is also = member, and
that body gave him the alternative of pointing
out the member or members of the Western
Central he referred to as detectives aud bringing
charges against them, or retracting his words.
He chose the former and preferred charges
against Spring. The specific allegations con-
tanned in the charges have not been made pub
lie, as the utmost secrecy is maintained by the
members of the committee.
1t is impossible to find out anything concern
ing the character of the testimony introduced,
but several of the delegates in the Western
Central say they look upon the charges as wholly
unwarrantable, and feel sure that Spring will be
able to prove them so.

MOTORMAN HELD UP.
Bold Highwayman Beaten Away-Is He
Killed?

A motorman named C. Weinberg, employed
on the Union Trunk line, reported at police
headquarters early this morning that
he had been held up on Beacon
Hill by an unknown man. He said
that he resisted the highwayman and hit on
the head with a controller handle which he
had in his hand, and he believes that the blow
killed his assailant.
Weinberg is motorman on an electric car
which runs from the James street power-house
to Beacon hill. He stated that when the car
reached the end of the line on Beacon hill, in
the woods near South Seattle, he got off
to SHIFT the trolley, and was walking
around the with the trolley rope in one
hand and the heavy controller handle in the
other. when he was seized from behind by an
unknown man, who demanded:
"Hold up your hands''
Weinberg struck blindly over his shoulder
with the iron handle. The blow struck the
man in the head, and with yell of pain the
highwayman jumped straight up and fell
bleeding and lifeless to the ground. After
night no conductor was with the car, ard con-
quently the motorman was alone. He hurriedly
adjusted the trolley, sprang into the car, turned
On the electric current, and the car started away
from the spot with bound and made the de-
scent OF the hill under full speed. When the
car arrived at the power house, Weinberg re-
ported the matter and afterward went to police
headquarters and told his story.
He said that he certain the robber was
dead, having been killed by the blow he re-
ceived on the head. Officers viii investigate at

THE STORY APPLIED.
Humorous Incident During the Address
of Thomas Z, Murphy.

Humorous Incident During the Address
of Thomas Z. Murphy.
Thomas E. Murphy, the temperance evangel-
ist, drew another large audience last evening at
the First Presbyterian church, and as usual he
was greeted with great enthusiasm. His ad-
dress was full OF fire and magnetism, and was
interspersed with telling stories and anecdotes
of both humorous and pathetic nature. He
was preceded by Rev. s. Alonzo Bright and
"Billy" Seymour, the comedian, both OF whom
delivered short speeches.
In one of his pleasing stories Mr.. Murphy re-
lated his experience while lecturing at Bulla-
rome in the North of Ireland. He was intro
duced by John McIldery, an Irish notable. and
in the meeting was an individual who sailed
under the suggestive cognomen of 'Short Dan"
Short Dam had gone down to the gutter
through drink" said the speaker, 'but he had
been reclaimed and had signed the pledge. He
was man OF wonderful ability; versatile, and
could tell story in his own inimitable way
that would either make one weep in sympathy
or cause his hearers to explode with laughter.
He possessed an abundance OF native wit and
was favorite everywhere, despite his years of
inebriety.'.
Mr.. Murphy grew enthusiastic as he pro-
ceeded with the incident, and running ahead
OF his story declared that ''today he is a sober
man, his family is happy, and ne is the best
comedian on the stagel'
Billy Seymour, who has every evening been
introduced as 1.-The comedian" caught the point
and Immediately stepped forward and good
naturally bowed very graeiously to the speaker.
The audience were struck with the intensely
funny situation, and broke out in burst of
laughter and applause. Mr.. Murphy continued
his story, however, and by describing the change
that the temperance reform movement made in
"Short Dams lie brought tears to many eyes,
Mr.. Murphy will hold his last two meetings in
Seattle today. He will address meeting at 5
o'clock this afternoon in the Armory and this
evening at CLOCK at the same place
