MORE SPECIFIC CHARGES
A THIRD PARAGRAPH ADDED TO
THE DE PAW UNIVERSITY CASE.
william l.. Knnn's Salary $4,000 q
Year, fl Is CIaimed-Susie Bro
kaw's Suit-Other Court Cases.

A third paragraph to the complaint in
the case of De Pauw University against
William l.. Kann, the American Plate-glass
Company and others. for the appointment
of a receiver and an accounting was filed in
Judge McMaster's court yesterday. The
charges set out in the paragraph are more
specific than those made in the original
complaint.
1t is charged that William L. Kann, pres
ident of the company, is interested in the
Penn Plate-glass Company, of Pittsburg,
and manipulates the output of the American
company at Alexandria so that no profit for
the minority stockholders is accumulated.
1t Is asserted that he controls $500, 900 of the
100000 stock and that the business is con-
Quoted so as to cut out the small stock
holders. 1t is charged that Kann contract
ed with the Penn Plate-glass Company to
sell the entire output at 100 per cent. be-
low the market price. and that as near as
the plaintiff can learn the amount received
from these sales amounted to $500,000. when,
at the real market price. it should have
been between 100000 and $2,00O,0O0
1t is also charged hat the glass is not
shipped to the Penn company, but sent
out on the open market. The management
of the company is also charged with enor~
nous extravaganza. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Kann secured for himself a salary Of
$4,000 a year and that he does not spend
half Of his time at the plant. Another
statement is that 5000 a month is charged
off for fuel, although the company uses
gas, the additional amount representing
the cost If other fuel were used.
1t Is asserted that in this manner a 500, 600
mortgage and a large floating debt, most of
which is held DV Kann. now threatens to
throw the company into insolvency which
accommodating profits would have averted
had the business been conducted as it
should have been.

Three Men Arrested ON Suspicion Of
"Washing' Cancelled Stamps.

NEW YORK. May 31.-Behind the arrest
of three young men In Brooklyn the police
believe is a revenue stamp swindle of con-
siderable proportions. The men are George
and Charles Morton and William Brewer.

and in a furnished room which they recent
ly rented was found a large number OF can
celed and uncanceled revenue stamps,

$40. The detectives asserted that some of
the stamps had been freed of the cancella-
ton mark, and two bottles were found in
the room filled with a preparation for re-
moving cancellation. The face value of the
stamps found was $500.

TALK OF RATE CUTTING
RUMORs THAT SOME OF THE RAIL
WAYS ARE BREAKING FAITH.
The Central States Lines show Good
Earnings-Comment on h VAN
daIia Receivershfp.

During the past few days there has been
a drop in the movement OF all kinds Of
freight, both east and west-bound. and this
has led to some complaints, as IL Is stated
some of the large New York lines are taxi
ing business below tariff. Notwithstanding
the efforts made by the leading railroad
presidents TO maintain freight rates there
is always a disposition on the part of some
Of the railroads to cut whenever there Is a
tendency toward a falling off in business.
Many of the freight managers of the rail-
roads are DESTROYS OF keeping their cars
moving, and these are the men who are
constantly breaking faith and keeping up
war. In speaking of the freight condition.
a leading railroad official stated, yesterday,
that business is only fairly good, although
the volume is large. but not nearly h
1t was during the months of November
and December of last year. There is more
Of a desire on the part Of the Western
railroad officials to maintain rates than
has been the case for a long time, and the
east-bound business is in firmer shape. al
though there is a suspicion that some Of
the companies are making reductions on
grain. While complaints have been made.
no direct evidence has been obtained, al
though IL is being sought for. The concen-
tration of the leading railroads in the East
has made 1t easier for rates TO be main
tanned. and it is understood that no cut
ting will be done unless authorized by the
presidents Of these roads. AS all these Of
fcers are anxious to have rates put up, 1t
is thought the reductions lave been Sc
cretly made and will be restored as soon
as it is definitely known what they are.
While business has fallen off, 1t is thought
IL is only for a short time, and most rail-
road men look for a continuance of pros
perity. Railroad earnings continue to show
steady increase, due, in a great measure,
to the higher freigh rates.

the Question mt Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May Shy a vote of

this afternoon, refused to lay on the table
a motion offered by W. III. McLaws. divi-
sion commander of Georgia. that only the
Confederate flag be carried In the Sons OF
Veterans divisions Of the Confederate re-
union parade tomorrow. Mr.. Law said
he understood the United States fag was
to be carried at the head OF the Sons OF
Veterans.
A number of delegates made speeches
and 1t became apparent that an unexpected
issue had arisen. Several delegates strong
ly urged that the Sons OF Veterans carry
both the United States and the Confederate
flag I'm the parade. The part played by the
South I'm the Spanish-American war. and
President McKiniey's recent action In
wearing a Confederate button and sug-
gesting that the United States government
treat the Confederate just as IL treats the
Union soldier were urged as reasons why
the United States flag should be carried
by the Sons of Veterans.
The discussion was growing wider and
more interesting when II was cut OF by the
motion 10 table Mr.. McLaws's motion. All
the speakers said no veterans son was to-
day disloyal to the United States flag. but
they regarded the Confederate flag as the
emblem OF their organization and thought
IL should lead their parade for that reason.
After the discussion had been prolonxed
considerably, adjournment was taken until
tomorrow. when the question will come up
