THE A. P. A. MEETINGS.
THE REGULAR REPORTS GIVEN BY
THE GLOBE
APPEAR TO DISTURB TnEm,

But the Globe Detective Bureau
Goes Right Along Dischar2ing
Its Duty to the Pnbiic-Wafch-
ing Every One Present to Catch
the Reporter limos and Me
Intyre as Members
ashamed to Have Their Con
nection With 1t Known.
| The last regular meeting of the A. p.
| A. organization. at their hall, No. 2f
West Third street, was attended by
| forty-eiyht members, and Mir. Coleman,
as usual. presided. After the regular
order of business remarks were made
by some of the members relative TO the
| report Of their proceedings in the
GLOBE, and all present seemed to be
very much put out about the way
things were going. One of the mem
bers said it was very strange, the A. P.
A. could not do or say thing but what
O'Brien had it in the papers the next
day, and everybody who wanted to see
the order prosper should try and find
ont who was giving the business away,
etc.
Among those present were: John
Cripple, &. ID. Stevenson, o. l.. Johns
ton, A. NJ. Lawton, j. +. Black, Amos,
DR.. jacobson. A. q. Kimball, Phillips,
Wedge, Rev. Gill, A. r. Foos and J. E..
Bates.
During and after the meeting num-
Der of the members stated they
had thought Mcintyre had given
The Information away, but last
Friday night two Of the members were
with Mcintyre at his residence all even
ing, up to midnight, and he could not
have gotten the proceedings of the
meeting to give 1t away, but it came
out in the GLOBE all the same. Quite a
number of the members are remaining
away from the meetings, and refuse to
attend on account of the publications,
and it seems that everybody suspects
some one else of being Il traitor. etc.
All The precinct club meetings seem
to pe organized and run in the interests
of the Republican party. These COM
mittees only report progress to the
lodge, and all matters of importance are
transacted by the executive committee
In secret. They are Coleman, Amos and
Black, and few of the leaders. They
never bring anything up in tue lodge
room. They always remain after every
body else goes awayand talk things over
among themselves. One member said
that Detective Mcintyre was going to
sue Coleman for defamation of charac-
ter: that Mcintyre had gone to Duluth
to get job as a detective, and Coleman
wrote two letters up there saying that
he was spy for the Romans, etc. and
q m 10 A n Inf ,r1af
the job.
The greatest effort is being made to
find out who ale the spies, and more
attention is being paid TO this than reg
ular business.
ANOTHER MEETING.
A GLOBE reporter as usual attended
the regular meeting of tine A. p. A. at
their hall corner Isabel and WabaSha
streets. The meeting was called to
order by President Black. There were
sixty-seven members present and ten
initiated. Detective Mcintyre sent in
another letter requesting the lodge to
accept his resignation, which was done.
Mr. Gill made quite a speech about
the proceedings of the previous meeting
being published in the GLOBE, and said
fort to find out who gave the informa-
ton away. Quite number were sus-
pected, but there was nothing definite
against any one. Each member that at
tends meeting is registered every
night. and they have been checking
over the names to see if they can fix it
upon some one who has attended every
night. In conversation with member
last evening he informed the reporter
that some of the members suspected
Amos for giving it away, as he has been
drawing his salary right along from the
sheriff's office, and has not been at work
there for months. They agreed to dis
charge Amos in order to satisfy the
Catholics. and they pay him his salary
in order to keep on the right side of the
a. p. A.
Each precinct committee was in
structed to organize a Republican club
and work for the party. l.. j Beck,
Arthur Martin, G. Este, E. Warren, ID.
ID. HenZil. G. Smith and Mr.. Erickson
were among those present
