SWift's Men Treated TO

NEW HAVEN'S GENEROSITY.
Commonwealers Will Take a Rest in

NEW HAVEN, May a-Tbe whole New
reached New Haven and was housed In
two buildings not two blocks from Yale
campus. Swift's industrials from Boston
slept Tuesday night In Guilford. The
townspeople felt ugly toward them. A
few citizens iually took pity on o5 Swift
adhsrents and induced q selectman to
donate his barn to the half dead travellers.
Citizens refused to contribute any food
for supper and Fitzgerald had 70 pur-
chase IL. During the night q skunk got
into the barn and there was a great COM
motion. Half the little army had their
clothes ruined, and buried them before
leaving Guilford.
Labor organizations and socialistio
clubs provided hall for Swift's men, and
there they gathered. Not since they left
Boston were they so royalty received.
They had soup, meat, vegetables and pine
apples and were waited on by women Of
the Social Labor union. Then each man
was given a supply of tobacco, the first
received since leaving the Hub. II had
been expected New Haven generosity
would have provided finances enough to
pay the transportation Of the army to
New York. but the leaders have been
grievously disappointed at the psucity Of
receipts. 1t has been determin ed to hoof
1t to Bridgeport and there take the boat
to New York.

tackled Senator Hoar, pitched into Dean
Wayland and Yale university faculty be-
cause Wayland had branded the Coxey-
ties as "v-rmin haunted vsgabonds, who
ought to be In state prison or the grave
yard" He called congress and the Mas
sachusetts legislature imbeoils, and
wound up by asking for q contribution

SHORTAGE OF $4,000
Said 10 Exist in a Govern
ment StOreh0use.
NOT EXAMINED FOR YEARS.
Investigations Which May Result in
Reports offs Startling Nature.

BOSTON, May 8-Ths special investiga-
ting committee Of the United States treas
ury department, appointed some time ago
10 investigate the Boston custom house,
are progressing in their work.
A summary Of the work already accom-
plishsd u said to show that there Is q
shortage OF merchandise at many of the
government storshouses, especially at the
Portland street warehouse. At this place
thousands Of dollars worth of glass is
stored, and the shortage IL said to amount
TO about $4,000
As result Of the deficiency ut this par
ticular place the storekseper has been
suspended and the store closed until fur
ther orders are received from the treas
ury department Of the special commits
sion.
An inventory OF the merchandise stored
at all the storehouses In Boston shows
that over % 900, 900 are now In the posses
sion Of the storsksepers. on which the
duty IL yet to be paid.
How Was It Donsf
The warehouses are In charge of store
keeper, who II the custodian Of the keys
and merchandise In the place. and moth
Ing oan be taken from the building unless
a permit 10 granted, signed by the col.
lsctcr of tho port and the naval officer.
The Portland street warehouse had not
been examined for the past 10 years, and
not . breath of suspicion was directed
toward the owner Of the mercha ndiss, as
he II one of the most respected merchants
In the city, and the doubt that he had de-
fraudsd the government out Of the duties
was not entertained bv the officials.
Another reason offersd-and W hich wa
strong In the minds of the officials-that
the importer was honest was the fact that
he had given n bond amounting to more
than the value Of the merchandise stored
In the warehouse.
IL Is said that the report to be sent to
the department. at the conclusion Of the
investigation will contain matter of q
surprising nature relative to the manner
in which the affairs of the custom house
have been conducted, that 1t will assert
that many Of the storekeepers have al
lowed importers access to the storehouses,
and also that they have violated the rules
and regulations by giving the keys to Inn
porters.
The keeper OF the. storehouse referred
to as being short $4,000 was seen last
night by Post reporter. He states that
there Is no shortage; that the warehouse
is open; that the storekseper Is In charge.

AT THE coxEY CAMP.
''soIdlsrs" Are Having an Easy Time 10 Reps,
For Their Long March,

WASHINGTON, May a-Affairs at the
camp of the army Of the oommonweal are
IN q very quiescent state. There have
been no disorders or demonstrations of
any kind requiring the presence of the
large force OF regular and special police
men who are stationed at and in the
vicinity OF the camp.
The commonwealers have apparently
settled themselves down to temporary
period Of comparative inactivity after
their long and laborious march to the
nations capital. Many are putting in
their time sleeping, making up for what
they lost on their tramp; others are read
ing with much interest the accounts of
the demonstration which ended SO dis.
astrously for the army on Tuesday.
Some attempt is making to improve the
appearance Of the camp grounds, and
many of the members OF the army were
engaged In piling up bricks and otherwise
putting things In shape The sun shone
with intense power on their camp and
made exposure thereto exceedingly un-
comfortable.
General Coxey was visitor at the camp
during the day. but left shortly after noon
and "Oklshoma Sam" was given charge
Marshal Browne was an early visitor aud
took breakfast with his associates in the
army. He remained but q brief time,
however, and departed early to attend his
trial In the police court
Quite a crowd gathered at the camp of
the commonweal of Christ last evening
to listen to j. S. Coxey on the nations
finance. Mr.. Coxey intends to speak each
evening until his bills are passed. The
camp had been thoroughly cleaned dur
ing the day and a large portion OF the
ground was covered with clean straw.
A large tent had been loaned for the use
OF the men. II was set up late in the af-
ternoon in the center OF the camp and will
add materially to the comfort of the men.
Carl Browne, Christopher Columbus
Jones and Jacob S. Coxey were placed on
trial at the city police court on charges
of violating the United States statutes
and Of interfering with an arrest, respec-
lively. Judge Miller said that the de-
PENDANTS would have to furnish $500 bonds
each. Frank Hume, a wholesale grocer
Of this city. gave a bond for them and
they were released.
