PHILADELPuIA, Pa, June l5.--Ex- Mas
ter Workman Powderly has issued for
among the members of the
Knights OF Labor pamphlet purport-
Ing to give the inside history of the
movement which compelled his resigna-
tion. He says General Secretary and
Treasurer Hayes, when asked by the
executive board to abolish the system
of espionage In his ONCE, threatened to
accuse members falsely of stock Job
bling, and said: "Once a lie Is told 1t
will 60, and will lie whenever / want
to score point" In the last general
assembly, Powderly says, Hayes ad-
mitted that there was ''no truth In his
charges against the executive board
and said always wanted to get rich
and will get rich II can" Powderly
says James Hughes told him the nation
al democratic committee had given
$1,000 to defeat him for reelection.
Sovereign also told him substantially
the same.
The ex-general master workman
closed with an appeal to the members
to hold their old assemblies together,
but to scrutinize all the new ones and
not to allow so many "paper Assem-.
blies' to be organized that the genuine
ones would be outvoted at the next gen.
eral assembly at New Orleans.

SANFORD, Conn, June Is -"They
have driven us from our church," said
Rev. Abraham Lincoln Shear and his
band of followers after service In a
grove on South Beach yesterday. Rev
Mr.. Boswell OF Brooklyn occupied the
pulpit of the church In which they had
worshipped and Mr.. Shears eyes filed
with tears as he told the story of his
troubles.
He was and says he still is the pastor
of the South Beach Congregational
church. He did not occupy the pulpit
Sunday because he received a letter
from a lawyer stating that there would
be trouble If he die. and Constable
Palmer patrolled in front of the church
door to see that the instructions of the
legal adviser were carried out. The
unusual scene at the South Beach
church was brought about by a de-
termined effort OF few of the members
to rid themselves of the pastor. The
trouble arose frcm the fact that Mr..
Shear ignored the old pillars of the
church.

ELEVATOR MEN DOWN.
Board of Tarde Adopts the Troublesome
Amendment.


Amendment.
CHICAGO, June 15.-Chicago elevator
men were defeated In one of the hot
test fights ever known on the Board of
Trade. BY vote of 69s to 400, mem
bers of the board declared that, after
July /, warehouse men could not trade
In grain. If the capitalists who now
control the elevators of Chicago want
to retain their standing on the board
they can do so by allowing their ware
houses to become irregular, that is,
their receipts for stored grain will not
be accepted in settlement of trades
made on the floor.
Directly after the result was an
nounced the warehousemen held a
caucus in the Insurance Exchange
building to discuss the situation. All
the big men were there-P. D. Armour,
representing his houses P. B. Weare
for the City of Chicago elevators
hurry Nelson, attending for his con-
Germs, and number of others repre-
senting their houses. The warehouse.
men remained In conference until after
o'clock, discussing the situation and
trying to outline plan of actor. Mel
son, who was designated as spokesman
for the elevator interests, said they
had reached no decision.

WASHINGTON, June Is = Charles e.
Sill, former Carnegie workman, who
made the chief disclosures concerning
the defective armor plate, was before
the congressional investigating CON-
mlttee yesterday. He said he made a
written report on the result of certain
processes of manufacture. Afterward
Superintendent Kline changed the re.
ports to make them show that the pro-
cess conformed to the requirements
and specifications of the government
contract. They were returned to Sill,
who made a complete report, including
Kline's alterations, to be submitted to
the government.
Kline said he had not made any alter
ations in the original. report. Sill said
he had kept tab on those plates and had
his notes with him. He changed the
dates so tine government inspectors
could not detect where that work, as
reported, was not within the capacity
of the mill. The books as kept by Sup
erIntendent Kline showed the actual
work In black ink and the alterations
as submitted to the government Officers
were in red Ink.
At the suggestion OF Chairman Cum
mings the word stake" was used by the
committee and witnesses to designate
these alterations, "What was the per-
centage of this fake work9" asked Mr..
Cummings.
"From rs to 90 per cent was fake
work. l think that would be fair
average" 80
Mr.. Sill related how Superintende
Kline had given orders for reiapping
the ends to cover up defects.
"How much did you get from the
government as an infcrmer?" asked Mr..
Dolliver.
"Six thousand dollars" answered
Sill, who said he was led TO make the
disclosures through illtreatment re-
ceived from Kline. "If the government
officers had known the condition of the
work, they would have rejected rs per
cent of such work as was accepted"

Dead at Ransom.
LYNCHERS AFTER THE WRETCH
Act Is Committed by Robber Who En-
tiers the Victims House Tor the
Purpose of burglary.

RANSOM, ILL.,, June 15.-Ransom, al.
most a stranger to crime, the home OF
retired farmers, Is terribly wrought up
over the cold blooded murder of o. e.
Whitmore, its most prominent citizen
and one of the heaviest merchants In
La Sale county, by burglars. Mr..
Whitmore, his brother and family
lived over the store and were in the
habit of closing late AT night.
Just as they were about to close two
men, one tall and the other short, en-
tered the door and demanded their
money at the point of two formidable
revolvers.
The burglars ordered them to throw
up their hands, and, while the brother
at once obeyed, Whitmore grasped
heavy piece Of iron and started for his
man. He had not gone two PAGES be-
fore the man who had given the COM
mand suddenly raised heavy revolver
and fired, ball entering Whitmore's
bres st Just above the heart and In
fIcting a wound from which he died In
his wife's arms few minutes later.
Mrs. Whitmore, when she heard the
shot and a scream of agony from her
husband, raised window and alarmed
the village, but before her cries had
died away the men rushed from the
store, leaped into buggy which they
had in waiting and drove away.
A posse of men was quickly organ
lied by the village authorities and
secured the surrounding country for
ten miles in every direction, but with
out success. 1t was found that the
two men had hired the horse, gray
one, and buggy at Savage's livery
stable at Streator, the man ordering
1t giving his name as Hineman.
The murderers had been about the
city several days and with the aid Of
young Whitmore Mayor Cummings
succeeded in securing a good descriI
tion OF them, which was telegraphei
to every city and town within 100 mile
of Ransom. Rumors OF their arres
at Dwight and Cornell have reached
here.
