LEADERS DENOUNCED.

GRAVE ACCUSATIONS MADE.
Warnings Sent OBt Against Sovereign

THE ORDER is TO Be REORGAEIzED.
A General Meeting to Be Held in Columbus
Ohio, Next MOnth-P. II. Quinn Is
Unanimously Reelected.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Jan. 20.-A long-ex-
pected meeting of District Assembly SO,
Knights of Labor, was held in this city
this evening, and it resulted in the passage
of resolutions denouncing the high officials
of the organization, and cautioning work
men to beware of them. The attendance,
which included several knights from other
New England States, was unusually large
District Master Workman Cannon began
the criticism of General Master Workman
Sovereign, claiming that the proclamation
during the Pullman strike and other er-
ratio moves were of the most foolhardy
character.
Edward McCaffery, delegate to the New
Orleans general conference from this as
sembly, made his report, which shows
that more than $4,000 members had
withdrawn from the order during
the year, the Philadelphia property
had recently been mortgaged, and as no
official report of the financial condition OF
the order had been made it's exact status
could not be determined. He charged
Sovereign with having been responsible for
the Pullman strike, and said he used Debs
as tool. The following resolutions were
then adopted by a unanimous vote:
To the members of the knights of Labor and
the working people of America:
WHEREAS, Certain men, to wit. ]. r. Soy
ereign, John w. Hayes, NJ. J. Bishop, T. B. Nc
Guire, Henry B. Martin, j. NJ. Kenny and G. H.
French, claiming to represent the Knights OF
Labor, are endeavoring to collect money from
the working people of this country to support
themselves in idleness and to enable them TO
barter with leaders of political parties for the
prestige which the order of which they are the
alleged representatives, is supposed to possess,
be it
RESOLVED, That as the power to lend influence
to trucking knaTes whose aim is to barter the
sufferings of the members OF this order comes
from the membership that contributes its reve-
nues, and the best means of thwarting the
schemes OF designing seoundrels is to cut off
their revenue, we pledge ourselves not to pay
another cent of tax to these alleged general
officers, and we call on all local assemblies in
the country to take like action.
RESOLVED, That we caution all working people
in the United States to have nothing whatever
TO do with J. r. Sovereign or John w. Hayes,
whose only aim in the labor movement is TO
line their pockets.
RESOLVED, That the District Assembly 90
holds itself ready to cooperate with the vari-
Gus branches that are to meet at Columbus,
Ohio, in February next in an effort to reorgan-
ize the order.
The assembly then proceeded to elect
officers, and P. H. Quinn, who was de-
posed without trial by the Sovereign
Hayes faction some few months ago, was
unanimously reelected district master
workman and chosen delegate to the ma
tional convention.

ooLLEOTIVIsM THE IDEA.
Laurence Gronlund Tells Large Audi

Laurence Gron1und Tells a Large Audi
ence What He Thinks.
Socialism and individuality" was the
subject OF the address delivered by
Laurence Gronlund last night at the Tenn
pie on Turk street.
eff the milk of cow is used for family
purposes it becomes private property; but
If the milk is sold for profit then it be-
comes common possession" was his lllu-
stration of the theory of "Collectivism u
which Mr.. Gronlund advocates. He used
the term collectivism as a more appropri-
ate one than socialism.
His ideas were not much of an advance
upon the common theory put forth by
speakers on the labor problem, though he
is DESTROYS of the application of the theory
to the whole people and not to the mere
laborer. He commended that the conditions
which make the laboring man slave in
America are more exacting and more
effective in the oppression of the poor than
in the European countries. His talk was
listened to by large audience and was
frequently applauded when he made what
his hearers considered an especially good
point.
The speaker declared that colleetivism
will become an established thing in the
civil government of the world or rather in
this portion of the earth, but whether its
establishment shall be permanent he could
not be certain. The condition of the
laborer in his relation with the capitalist,
he said, is ripe for the change and there is
no power that can hold it back.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 20.-There seems
to be no doubt that the woman arrested
here Friday night is. Mrs. Ella E. Adams
of 1853 Goethe street, Chicago, as she
claimed. A gentleman who formerly knew
her in Wisconsin before the death of her
husband talked with her to-day. Mrs.
Adams says she came to Cleveland to ar
range for placing a friend in one of the
hospitals. After her arrival here she was
called upon at her hotel by the man who
gives his name as Hager. He said he had
heard she had some mining stocks to sell.
He had been to her home in Chicago and
learning that she was in Cleveland fol-
lowed her here. Hetold her he would find a
customer for the stock and Hager asked
her to send to Chicago for it. She get the
stock and Hager brought the customer to
her, but she refused to let the securities
go out of her hands until she had received
the money. That ended the negotiations
and the arrest of herself and Hager fol-
lowed. Mrs. Adams expects her son to
arrive from Chicago in the morning and
she has confidence she will be released
after her hearing tomorrow.

DuNsMUIR, Jan. 2O.-It has been snow

This is the heaviest storm of the season.
The snow is seven to ten feet deep now,
making seventeen feet for the season.

that it would get buried up in some of the
deep snow cuts. These cuts are twenty to
thirty feet deep, with almost perpendicular
walls. 1t is only barely possible that the
rotary can keep them open tonight. The
wind is strong, and a train once stopped
will be covered many feet deep. A pillow

Thousands ThrOng to See the Bodies of

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 20.-Two thousand
people to-day viewed the remains of Isaac
Henry Bratton and his wife, murderer and
murdered. The horrible tragedy was the
chief topic of conversation in the city to-
day. They had been married but six
months, it seems. She had been married
twice, having daughter now ID years old
by her first husband. Bratton's two sons
were by his first wife. Developments show
both had violent tempers and domestic
troubles led to the killing. They came
from Mexico, Mo-, last summer. She
leaves her daughter life-insurance policy
for $1,000 and he leaves the boys insurance
in the Maccabees for $1,000.

The opinion has been general here that
there was opium aboard, but no one be-

with smuggling. He is certainly not a

opportunity to get them aboard, as the
vessel loaded at an isolated place.

cal, Secretary of Foreign Relations in the
Mexican CabinetS said:
"The SalYadorean representative viii be

Honduras, or any other of the Central
American republics which Guatemala has
been making such great effort to drag
into the dispute against Mexico
Mr.. Mariscal said that the statement
that his communication to Guatemala was
in the form of an ultimatum was not cor
rect. 1t was a definite statement from
Mexico of claims for indemnity and for the
completion of the surveys.

MoMENcE, ILL.,, Jan. 2O.-An attempt to
rob the Exchange Bank of this town would
have been successful had it not been for
detectives from Chicago, aided by the
Town Marshal and assistants, who, after a
fierce battle with the robbers, succeeded in
capturing Weedlove of Momence, who be-

and they got away in the darkness. Later
one of the burglars, named Schaff, was
captured, and the detectives are in pursuit
of the others. Robberies in Momence have
been so numerous during the past few
months that the Chicago detectives had
been recently employed to ferret out the
perpetrators. The operative sent here
gained the confidence of the gang and
learned of their plan to rob the bank last
night. Had they succeeded they would
