MOEN AT THE HEAD.
Reported That He
Controls the Wire
Trust.
PURCHASED FLOWER INTEREST.
He Denies the Rumor as
Almost an Impcs-
sibility.
PURCHASED FLOWER INTEREST.

Waukegan, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-It is report
ed here tonight on what is considered
good authority, that Philip w Moen,
former president of the Washburn &
Moen Company, which had plants at
| Worcester, Mass, and this place, has
obtained a controlling interest in the
American Steel and Wire Company,
which some time ago absorbed the
plants of the Washburn & Moen Com
! pany, together with other wire plants
here and elsewhere, by the purchase
of the stock held by the late former
Gov. Roswell P. Flower in the wire
trust.
Changes recently made at the Wash
| burn & Moen wire plant here indicate
that this story contains some truth, as
the former leading officials of the plant,
| who were deposed by the new manage
ment when the wire trust acquired con-
| troll, have been reinstated and are in
active service again.
| Mr.. Moen took a large block of the
stock of the American Steel and Wire
| Company when his plant was sold out
to the wire trust, and it is said he has
been gradually acquiring additional lots
since. 1t is further said that the
Washburn & Moen Company will en-
large it's wire plant here and erect
smelling works near the harbor.
A partial confirmation of recent ru-
mors in regard to combination of
American Steel and Wire Company and
others with the Carnegie companies, is
afforded by Duluth dispatch, which
says: American Steel and Wire Com
pany is buying more mines and has re-
Gently added seevral on the Menominee,

In connection with the discussed con-
solidation of several steel interests, Mr..
Carnegie is reported to have said: "I
gave an option to buy my interests to
my partners which has not so far been
exercised. 1 never had any negotia
tons with any other parties and know
of none.
earnings were about 81, 000 an in
crease of 100000 over September, and
an increase of 100000 over August.
Chicago, Nov. 13.-From private east
ern advices, it is learned that the big
four in American Steel and Wire in
terests, ]. W. Gates, William Eden
porn, L. ElWoOd ana JOhn Lambert,
have joined hands with E. H Hartman
and other members of the famous Har-
riman-Gould syndicate, in compre-
hensive plan of campaign which has for
its object the consolidation of the lead
ing trunk railways in America.
Philip w. Moen, when seen by The
Soy man last evening, said: There is
eJsolutely no foundation for the report
that have secured a controlling inter
est of the stock of the American Steel
and Wire Company. Such a thing is
almost an inspossibility. The plant
which will be erected at Waukegan is
one to replace the buildings lost by fire
recently. So far as 1 have knowledge,
the plant will be no larger than that
which it will duplicate. Changes mayI
have been made in the office force at
the Waukegan plant, but have had no
intimation of it."

RuMoRs OF CANDIDATES.

Leader.

William Hart Suggested as Democratic
Leader
John H. Meagher, chairman of the
democratic city committee, told The
Spy reporter last night that as yet the
democrats had no candidate for mayor
in view, although a number of names
were under consideration. In regard to
citizens ticket, he said that the city
committee this year would follow the
precedent established years ago of
holding aloof until approached by a
citizens committee Such committees
are almost invariably made up of re-
publicans who do not believe in par
tisan politics in municipal affairs.
The name of William Hart as a
straight democratic candidate for
mayor was suggested yesterday with
out Mr.. Harris consent, and it is not
likely that the democrats would nom
mate him.
Mayor Dodge, who announced his
candidacy for denomination at the re-
publican municipal convention, through
The Sunday Spy, was congratulated on
all sides yesterday by his friends and
leading republicans He was assured
Of plenty of support, and so far as can
be learned at this time there will be no
opposition to his denomination.

THE CHURCH POLICY.
Rev. Mr.. Humphreys Favors a Show
of More Liberalism.


of More Liberalism.
The Worcester and vicinity Methodist
preachers met at Trinity church yes
terday forenoon, ad listened to an able
paper on Ecclesiastical politics." by
Rev. ]. H. Humphreys of Cherry VAL
ley. Mr. Humphreys favored a more
liberal church policy. He thought that
a great deal Of the cause of the bossism
and wire-pulling in churches was due
to the fact that the government of the
church is an autocracy in theory, while
in practice there is an effort to intro
duce the democratic element. The
remedy would be to give legal sanction
to the changes which have been already
introduced such as the existance of the
cabinet. Church members should have
a share in electing the quarterly con-
ference members. The general thought
of the paper was that the laity and min
listers should be more largely represent
ed in the working of the church. The
paper was followed by a brisk discus
sion.
