NEWS THIEVES CAUGHT.
Wire Tappers Who Had Been Selling
Associated Press Matter.


Associated Press Matter.
The Chicago Evening Post has exposed a
scheme to get the news of the Associated
Press before it's publication. The yearly
cost of the Associated Press dispatches is
81, go, 600, and to secure portions of this
news some of the smaller organizations
have resorted to all sorts of devices, such
as clipping cable dispatches from carly edi-
ticns and rewriting them to give them the
appearance of original items. and tapping
wires leased by the Associated Press.
In order to catch these thieves old news
dispatches printed in the Chicago papers
from eight to twenty years ago were put on
the wire that was believed to be manipu-
lated. This wire was cut OUT outside of
Chicago and another used Tor the regular
report. Several Pan-Ameriean and United
Press papers were caught, among the latter
being the Detroit Journal and the st. Louis
Chronicle. One William S. Brewer was the
president of the Pan-American News Asso-
citation, also called the Union Associated
Press, and the Eastern Associated Press,
which rented rooms in a Chicago office
building. Brewer maintained regular sys-
tenn of wires for stealing information from
telegraph companies. Ihey We're strung

way in which he could facilitate his vii

was decided to make Brewer himself ex-
pose his surreptitious methods From the
Daily News of April II, 1885, was clipped
an account of awful cyclone which
struck Kansas City that day. and demolish-
ed the great iron bridge blew down many
dwellings, and several school houses, killing
a number of children. This item was start
ed out about 1880 o'clock over one of the
circuits which was supposed to be tapped,
and all the other newspaper offices or
cities were cut Off.
This was followed by fake item stating
that the governor of Iowa had called out
the militia during the stay of kelly's army
in Des Mones.
The United Press evening paper in Chi
ca go used the cyclone story with a scare
head" and all afternoon the newsboys
cried Extra! All about the Kansas City
Cyclonep'
The Detroit Journal and the st. Louis
Chronicle United Press papers, also had
the news"
AS soon as the overlapping concern dis
covered the imposition it telegraphed all
over the country to the newspapers they
served warning them not to use it, that it
was untrue, but it was too late; most OF
the newspapers had gone to press with the

MIR. QUAY AND TRACTION.
Differences With His Old Friends
ElkiDs and Widencr.

The Philadelphia Press this morning
printed the following:
The report of the differences between the
Philadelphia Traction Company and Sena-
tor Quay found confirmation yesterday
when the results of the annual election OF
officers of the leased and operated roads
were announced
For years Senator Quay has been the
president Ct the 18th and 10Th street COM
pany and director in the old Union Pas
senger Railway Company, the parent of the
present Philadelphia Traction Company.
At tine election yesterday Clay Kemble,
a son of the late William H. kemble, was
chosen to succeed Senator Quay In the
presidency of the 18th and 10th street COM
pany, and Vice President George d. Wide
FER of the traction company to take the
Senator's place in the Union Company.
Senator Quay's holdings in the Phlladel-
phia Traction Company prior to last Thurs-
day amounted to 5000 shares. He first be-
came interested in passenger railways at
the instigation of the late Mr.. kemble.
Through all the years SINCE" said an
old friend of Mr.. kemble's last night, ne
has been with Widener and E.klns IN all
their operations and deals. He had a hand
in everything, and made great deal Oh
money out of these operations.
"A story that is told on good authority Is
that his brokers asked him some time ago
to increase his margin on large DOCK OF
the stock that he held Mr. Quay expressed
his willingness to do this when it became
necessary, and nothing further was done
until last week. when he made his attack
on David Martin in the United States Sen
ate. Quickly following on this he gave
orders to sell his stock, and it was done.
In my opinion, 1T is something more than
mere politics that has induced him to part
with the stock, or there must be something
a great deal more than has yet been made
public to make him break with such life
long friends as Widener and Eikins.
ut is said that Mr.. Quay still retains
his small interest in the Union Company,
and the determination to drop him was not
reached until yesterday morning. So late,
in fact, that the printed tickets for the
ones used in their nlaca-n {.

Hoy HaA Gone.

Albert NJ. Hayden is wanted by the police
on a charge of robbing his stepmother, who
is widow Of the late DR.. Hayden, who
lived on Corcoran street. The sum involved
is $500 in cash and $500 registered bond.
Mrs Hayden gave him the money and bond
yesterday to deposit in bank for her, so she
charges, and he failed to deposit them. He
also failed to return home, and early last
evening the case was reported to the de-
tectives. Detective Weldon went out and
investigated the case. He learned that
the boy is only eighteen years old, and as
no trace of him could be found in the city,
the officer concluded that he had departed
on an early train. He has friends in Jersey
City, and thinking he might have gone to
visit them, the chief of police of that place
was notified of the case, and requested to
arrest the boy If found.

ers of the Anacostia and Potomac River
