Cleveland Paper Shows Up the Accounts
of United States Judge Kicks.

CLEVELAND, July 81. - An expert ac-
countant, employed by a local afternoon
newspaper. has been at work for several
days on the records of the United States
courts, investigating the charges made by
the Central Labor Union against United
States Judge a. J. Kicks. The paper to-
day prints a lengthy ta5ulated statement
which claims TO show a discrepancy of 81
$3.50 against Judge Kicks when he was
clerk of the United States Circuit Court
The article concludes as follows: 1.-The
United States records proclaim that IN
these Birdsall cases the United States
treasury was defrauded out Of 81 l.J5S -, all
of which was received and appropriated by
Augustus j. Kicks, long after he had
ceased to be clerk and while he was Judge
of the District Court for the Northern dis
triet of Ohio. The records do not disclose
that the Sl,55S.1 30 so obtained by Judge
Ricks was incorporated in any subsequent
report of succeeding clerks and presuma-
bly, the government officials are in ignorance
of the fraud that was practiced on the gov
ernment as above shown by the records of
the court"
Judge Kicks some days ago denied ex-
plicitly that there was any discrepancy in
his accounts.

TERRIBLE RUDDINITE
EXPLOSION AT CHICAGO KILLED
THREE AND INJURED TWO MORE.
Inventor Charles Rudd Escaped with
Lets Go with Fatal Results.

CHICAGO, July 1.-An explosion in the
Doese & Shepard stoneyard and quarries
to-day resulted in the death of three and
the serious injury of two other persons
The dead are:
FRANK CORBIN, thirty-three years old.
SCOTT CLARK, forty eight years Old.
RICHARD CLARK twenty years old
son of Scott Clark, killed instantly.
The injured are:
CHARLES H RUDD, electrician, scalp
wound and badly bruised and cut about
WILLIAM KERR, slightly injured about
head and body.
All the dead and wounded were employees
of the Western Electric Company. They
had been engaged in blasting rock in the
Dolese & Shepard quarries nearly two
months. Yesterday morning c. H. Rudd,
who was in charge of the men, brought a
new invention for blasting purposes to the
yards and announced that he would make
an experiment at noon. His men were
standing about him when a charge of giant
powder was placed in a hole which had
been drilled into the rock. In some man.
ner unknown the powder became ignited
and terrific explosion followed.
The explosion was heard for nearly two
miles, and in very short time hundreds
of men, women and children crowded into
the quarries. Frank Corbin, one of the
dead men, terribly mangled. A por-
ton of his left leg was torn from the body
and was found nearly a hundred feet from
where his body lay. Scott Clark and his
son Richard were found lying near to-
gether. The elder Clark suffered intensely
before his death, which occurred on the
way to the hospital. Richard Clark was
killed instantly. A large cash on his fore
head was the only wound found. 1t ap-
pears that he was struck by flying piece
of stone.
The explosive was invention of Mr..
Rudd, which he called Ruddinite. For two
years Mr. Rudd has been experimenting
with explosive of his own invention,
which he calls Ruddinte, in shanty
which stood the edge of Doiese & Shep-
ards stone quarry. The explosive is very
powerful and effective in quarTying, but
Rudd thought he could improve il by
slightly changing the proportions between
the various ingredients. The shanty was
full of cartridges made from old locomotive
fiues about ten feet long and three inches
in diameter.
