Charles WoeIber Explains the
Charge Made Against Him.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In answer to the article appearing in
your paper of Nov. "a, 1913, headed
mayor Appealed To.-The Dubious
Methods of Some Employment Agency"
1 wish to say that it would be better
for the GLOBE or any newspaper to first
investigate charge made against
person engaged in business before ad-
vertising him over the country as dis
honest and disreputable person.
Messrs. Flaumn and Lehlapd were
sent by me to the camp Of Thomas Gro
gan, nine miles from Kimberly, Minn.,
upon the request of said Grogan, and
left here on Nov. 20, at $40 p. m.
reached Kimberly about o'clock a. m.
the next day (the 21st), and from there
had to 90 to the camp, nine miles, which
at least took to noon on that day, .'if
they did go there" Now they came
back and were at my office on the 23d
of November, at noon. How could they
do this and walk from the camp to
Minneapolis, 10 miles distant? They
certainly could not walk back in that
time.
This certainly was case for me for
investigation, and that is all | asked of
them; and If l learn them to be entitled
to the return of their money, they shall
have it, but not before. Mr. Grogan
requested me to send these men. ] sent
them, and they are back before they
could. under all ordinary circumstances,
nave been back here. Now, as l only
few days previous had paid $50 under
similar circumstances. and have since
learned that was imposed upon and
cheated, of which statement l hold the
proof, l hope and expect that you will
insert this Ill your paper. Respectfully,

LUDWIG A DEMOCRAT.
The Veteran Refutes a SANDER
About Him.

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA. Mimi, Nov. ga short
time ago Hon. John Ludwig, who has
been for several terms mayor of this
city, and who was also twice on the
notification committee to apprise Cleve-
land of his nomination, wrote a brief
and concise letter, as a representative
Democrat, to j. q. Carlisle, secretary of
the treasury, outlining the position of
the Democrats in Minnesota on the
tariff question, incidentally remarking
that the proposed increase in the tax on
matted liquors would not be benefit to
the Democratic party, but perhaps the
reverse. Coming from gentleman of
Mr.. Ludwig's prominence, the letter has
been widely quoted and commented
upon, especially by the papers of
Southern Minnesota, who twisted the
sentiments conveyed by the letter into
such shape that it would answer their
purpose Tor political capital. With a
view of refuting these statements,
GLOBE correspondent called upon Mr..
Ludwig today. and he spoke as follows
in regard to the letter and his position:
MY letter speaks for itself, and no
thinking man could construe its con-
tents otherwise than were intended.
Whether the government raises the tax
on matted liquors or not is a matter of
little moment to me, and the statement
that such action would cause me to
change my politics is all bosh, and will
not be credited for a moment by any
one who knows me. l am as firm and
rOck-ribbed Democrat as l ever was,
and shall so continue to be. | wish to
state emphatically that 1 would not
vote the Republican ticket under any
circumstances, and the statements
made concerning any proposed change
in politics. so far as am concerned. are
wholly untrue, and were originated out
of pure malice. 1 was Democrat be-
fore the war; during the civil strife I
was Democrat, and have remained
true to my colors ever since. l under
stand and appreciate the principles of
the party too well to assume the posi-
ton of turncoat at this late day, not
withstanding the silly distortion of my
utterances by certain interested par
ties"

MURDER OF REED
May Lead to the Unraveiing of the
Dublin Conspiracy.


Dublin Conspiracy.
DUBLIN, Nov. 28.-J John Mearns, de-
scribed as a grocer's assistant, out of
employment, has been arrested on sus-
piclon of having murdered Patrick
Reed, bricklayer, who was found shot
and killed last night near Rogerson's
quay. The police, who had been work
ing up the case of the box of dynamite
found outside the walls of the Aldbor-
ough barracks, saw three men. said to
belong to Cardiff. near the quay mem
toned last night. Some time later re-
volver shots were heard, and when the
police reached the spot they found one
of the men (Reedl dead. His two com
panions had disappeared. Reed was
well known TO the police as member
of a secret society which has long given
the authorities serious trouble, and the
police believe that Reed was shot by
his companions because they feared he
would divulge important secrets re-
garding several outrages which &C.
Cured during the past year, and it
was intimated that Reed may have
known who placed the dynamite near
the AlbOrOugh barracks. Mearns left

with suspected companion. Mearns
has just returned from the United
States Witho ut the companion referred
to, and was seen In Reeds company
short time before the murder. the In
dependent says that extra police have
been placed on duty about all the pub
lie buildings, and that a coup may be
expected at any moment. The police
hope to unravel the conspiracy said to
exist in this city to blow up a number
of buildings, and declare that the eX-
plosions of the past year may be traced,
through the murder of Reed, to the So
ciety they have long had under suspi-
cion. At I o'clock this afternoon a boy
found bag full of rifle cartridges in a
heap of rubbish at the aQueduct near

E LONDON. Nov. 2s.-Mr. Gladstone. in
the house of commons today, said that
the government had no information re-
garding any proceedings upon the part
OF Russia to acquire naval station in
2 the Mediterranean.
Home Secretary Asquith. replying to
question OIL the subject, said that there
was no doubt that an attempt had been
made to cause a dynamite explosion in
Dublin, but he was unable to say
whether there was any connection be-
tween the murder of the man Reed yes
terday evening and the dynamite plot.
as the police Of Dublin thought it mad
viSable to make any further statements
upon the subject at present.
Sydney Buxton, parliamentary Secre-
tary of the colonial office, said that
Lord Aberdeen, governor general OF
Canada, had telegraphed that the at
tempt to blow up the Nelson mOnu-
ment in Montreal was the freak of three
excitabie lads, and that the outrage was
the subject of regret and disapprovsl
upon the part of the entire French and
English press of Canada.
Henry Asquith, the home secretary,
was also questioned in regard TO pro-
hlbltlng anarchists from using Ira
falgar square as meeting place. lie
said that he was convinced that the
purpose of this group was unlawful,
but his decision had nothing to do with
the Trafalgar square meeting, which
would have been unlawful anyway.

LONDON. Nov. 2S.-In the court of
queens bench today the expected sem
sational suit of Seatou VS.. The Estate of
the Late Abingdon Baird, the we'll
known English sporting man, was
called for a hearing. Seaton, a we'll
known frequenter of races, had brought
suit against the estate to recover the
sum of SIS, 600, which is said to be the
unpaid balance of a consideration of
S125,000 which Baird promised to pay
the plaintiff for quietly recovering bank
notes TO the amount of S250,000 which
are alleged to have been stolen from
Baird by lady with whom the esquire"
had relations. Sir henry James, for
merly attorney general, was one of the
counsel for the defense. So soon as a
jury was sworn in a conference be-
tween counsel was had in court, and
later Sir Henry James announced to the
court that an Advancement had been
made which was satisfactory to both
parties. and which would make 1t I'M
necessary for the case to be heard in
court. The proceedings were then
closed. Among those noticed in the
vicinity of the court during the confer
ence between counsel was Mrs. Lang
try. The Westminster Gazette ADDS,
that, from the jubilauon in which Mrs.
Langtry received the news OF the set
tlement, it may be presumed that the
terms were not unsatisfactory to her.

4 FEW MORE POINTERS
REGARDING THE WHEREABOUTS or
LOUIS f. MENACE.
THE EFFORTS TO SECURE HIM.

His Flight From Guatemala Hast
ened by the Premature Work
of Blotting Pad Ike-He Is Now
in the Danish Island of st.
Croix Negotiations With the
Powers at Copenhagen.
The GLOBE detective bureau has
scored another coup, and the sleuths of
the Evening Pad and other local papers
are on the run. The article in yester-
days issue of the GLOBE detailing at
length the whereabouts of Menage, and
his flight from Guatemala, following
the expose of Blotting Pad Ike, came
like thunderbolt from clear sky.
But where the shoe pinched was in the
publication OF the departure OF Sheriff
Eye and Winn Bracket for the West
Indian isle, where Mr.. Menage
has recently made his habltatiOn.
In order to ease the minds and enlighten
the intellects of its sloW-going contem-
poraries, the GLOBE detective bureau
may give few more facts in its pos
session on this subject from time to
time. 1t NAV be stated now that i'm
mediately upon the publication of the
blotting-p PAD fake the friends Of Meuage
residing in this city became alarmed as
to HIS safety. and cabIegram was sent
him advising him to SKIP. He stood Dot
on the order of going, but at once board
ed steamer bound for the Danish island
of st. CrOiX, leaving behind a hand
sOmely furnished house and his wife
and daughter.
For some days past the authorities in
Minneapolis have been keeping the
wires hot with correspondence with
the Danish minister at Washington aud
the powers at Copenhagen, Denmark,
with the view or perfecting the extra
dItlon papers. 1t Is quite natural that
the envious sleuths on the local dailies
SHOULD feel chagrined at being left at
their own game, but by the time they
have digeSted the auuve facts another
batch of Information equally as inter
estIng will be offered.
WASHINGTON. Nov. est is said
that the state department has received
information that Menage, the Mime
apOlis defaulter, has been located in
Honduras, having fled from Guatemala.
State department officials decline to say
anything on the subject.

oner was seen in Reeds company shortly
before the latter's death. Mearns, after
the preliminary examination, was re-
manded and his lodgings were searched,
but with what result is not known, as
the police decline to give any informa-
ton upon the subject. During the after.
noon man named Nolan was arrested
on suspicion of having been concerned
in Reeds murder and of being connected
with the conspiracy to cause dynamite
explosion at Aldborough barracks.
Nolan is said to be the second OF the
two men seen in Reeds company shortly
before his death.

liberty. The only dynamite suspect
now in custody is compositor named
Sheridan.

Sunday shaves in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 2s.-The
BARRIERS today won their first victory in
their fight against Sunday closing.
John Swanson, Midland hotel barber,
was arrested last week for shaving a
man ON Sunday, and today the jury
which tried him brought in verdict of
acquittal. The defense alleged barber
shop is a necessary part of hotel and
should be open for business on Sunday
as we'll as any other day. The Sunday
Rest association had secured the closing
of all barber shops except that at the
Midland, and today's decision will
likely result in general opening next
Sunday. Saloons, meat markets and
grocery stores have all been made to
observe the Sunday law.

Mayor Burkhart, of st. Cloud, and

about half an hour, enjoying friendly
visit. Naturally both mayors talked of
their policies in view of the agitation
here over the saloon question. Mayor
Burkhart said that the saloons in St.
Cloud were not as strictly governed as
they are in Minneapolis. The authori-
ties of St. Cloud have driven from the
city presumably all of the disreputable
women ard closed the houses of ilI-fame,
but Mayor Burkhart did not think that
the social evil could be treated that way
in towns as large as Minneapolis.
