CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD.
INVESTIGATION OF BENEFIT LIFE
ASSOCIATION AND ITS RESULTS.
Fraudulent Bills Said to Have Been Presented
Guilt Denied BY Those Under Arrest.

Boston May 2S.-George T.. Litchfield,
who. up to q few months ago. was man
ager OF the printing plant of the Massa-
rhusetts Benefit association at 145 High
street. and Charles III. Barber, were ar
rested last night, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the association out OF
1880 in July. 1925.
Litchfield IL a cousin OF George A.
Litchield, the former president Of the
association. When IL was decided to
establish the printing plant on High
street, George l.. Litchfleld was selected
TO be the manager That was in Febru-
ary, 1895. Barber was an employe.
The paper used IN the plant was pur-
chased from various stationery dealers
in Boston. About July, 1895, bills for
paper began to come In from concern
whose billheads read. Charles Newman.
I Central wharf" These bills were
passed to Litchheld, as marager. for ap-
proval. In due course Of time the bills
were approved and sent 20 the general
office of the association to be paid.
The bils wre paid by check there.
Later on other bills arrived at the High
street plant. These bills were for paper,
and the billheads bore the name of j. c.
Dunnlng. with an address on Beach
street. Along with the others these bills
were all duly approved by Litchfeld and
they were paid by check at the general
office.
About a year ago Barber was dis
charged for reasons which appeared TO
the foreman to be sufficient.
1t was not until after the trouble Of the
Massachusetts, Benefit association be-
gan that any inquiry was made regard
ing any Of the bills for paper. President
Litchfeld had been replaced by Presi-
dent Rolker. George f. Litchfleld was
discharged from his position as manager
Of the printing plant by President
Rolker.
Several weeks ago a question arose
Dver some of the bills for paper. At
tention was attracted to the bills from
the Beach street and Central wharf
firms. and an investigation. which was
begun, proved to the satisfaction Of the
police that the firms named above were
fictitious, and that there had been
systematic scheme to defraud the con-
Germ. The arrests are the result.
There Is no charge that the old officers
Of the association were parties to the al
legged fraud. On the contrary, they were
the yictfrns

ARBITRATION WILL TRiUMPH.
Ex.Ambassador Bayard Speaks Of Defeat Of
Treaty Before Leaving Boston. &.

Boston, May 2s.-Hon. Thomas F. Bay
ard was present at meeting Of the So
ciety of Colonial Wars yesterday after
noon. The governor OF the society,
Hon. A. j. c. Sowdon, presided.
Mr.. Bayard expressed his pleasure at
being welcomed by q society such as the
Society of Colonial Wars. The time had
tome, continued Mr.. Bayard, to study
the political and private morals Of the
country. Americans should look back
to what lies at the foundation of their
government. If the causes which led
10 the decay in other governments were
examined it would be found that these
tauses lay in the lack of disinterested
public service, officials seeking to be
supported by the government, instead
tf trying to support il. If a nation con-
tents that it's public powers should be
used for private advantage, that nation
has struck a dangerous principle. Men
should take office but for one purpose
TO advance the interests OF the country.
That is my idea Of patriotism.
DR.. +. f.. Abbott OF the council Of the
general society was then introduced, and
he gave Mr.. Bayard the welcome of the
general society.
In an interview yesterday afternoon
Mr Bayard when asked about his future
plans, said that he hoped he would have
no further Official duties. His term Of
public life, he said, had been long, and he
had served his country at the expense of
Versonal affairs.
When asked what effect the refusal
of the United States senate to ratify the
arbitration treaty would hGye upon Eng
land, he said that the question was too
broad to be answered in an e<s-hand way.
The rejection of the treaty by only
one-third vote he did not consider as
amounting to anything more than
technical rejection. Many treaties have
been lost by a lack Of tw"-thirds vote.
II was a very difficult thing to get n
two-thirds vote.
He said that ultimately arbitration
would triumph.
He left for his home in Wilmington,
Del, at midnight.

PITTSBURG OPERATORS

Fail to Hear From Ratchford and issue
Statement-Accuse Him OF Working the
Political Standardization Suggested.
Pittsburg, Pa, August 21.-The coal
operators in their meeting tonight,
after waiting in vain for al answer
from President RatchfOrd to their tel
egram, asking for a conference here TO-
morrow to arbitrate the strike ques-
ton. issued the following statement
10 the public shortly after midnight.
The statement was given out after
day of waiting, and was precipitated
by the following resolution passed to-
day:
Resolved, That a committee be au-
thorized, in case the miners leaders
agree 10 confer and no satisfactory
basis can be agreed upon in said con-
ference. TO propose that the matter in
pute between the miners and operators
of the Pittsburg district be submitted
to arbitration, provided the miners are
put to work at once pending the de-
ciSion of the board Of arbitration
The operators statements says
The operators now have exhausted
every effort TO make amicable settle
ment, but the miners refuse either 10
meet in conference or aTbitrate. The
position taken by Mr.. Ratchford occa-
sionS great surprise TO the operators.
He insists in bringing in all competi-
tive States when he knows the Oper-
ators of other States, under the cir
cumstanceS, will attend joint confer
ence.
In making this demand Mr.. Ratch-
ford is seeking 10 delay a settlement
in the hope that he may bring TO his
aid all the labor organizations OF the
country and assume such political in
fluence as will frighten the politicians
into insisting upon a settlement OF the
strike without regard to the merits
of the case.
He has always insisted that the
PittSburg district is the key TO the sit
uRtion and the operators hold out 10
him an olive branch from which is
suspended the key he sought. Mr..
Ratchford is using the Pittsburg min
erS as q cats pay TO SCRATCH political
chestnuts of the idle coal tipples IN
this district He knows very we'll
that delay in settlement will deprive
Pittsburg miners of work, which will
be done during the winter by miners
Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
regions.
Mr.. Ratchford must arrange a
conference at once for settlement or
arbitration Of the troubles in the Pitts
burg coal district, or he must stand
accused Of inconsistency and insinceri-
u. Public opinion will certainly hold
him responsible fer the destitution
which must prevail in the district dur
ing the coming winter
