SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTS.
FOrEeries, Embezzlement and Theft
of. Correspondence Being I'm
earthed In l.. H. Greis's Case.

London, Sept. Pal. H. Greig, a
bookkeeper in the London offices of
the Carnegie Steel Co., who was re-
manded on Friday last on the charge
of foreign checks amounting to $9,-
500, purporting to have been signed
by Col. Millard HunsiclSer, chairman
of the Nickel corporation, was again
remanded, Wednesday, after a brief
hearing. Counsel for the prosecution
said that proba bly, others were impli-
Gated in the case, which promised to
develop largely. Their information
disclosed that not only had forgeries
been committed, but embezzlement
and theft of correspondence from
Pittsburg to the Carnegie Co.
Counsel handed in forged checks
for $4,000 and $4,000 respectively.
He said the forgeries were all of
great magnitude. The prisoner, he
declared, kept up a lavish establish
ment at Kingston-upon-Thames, and
steps were being taken to prevent the
removal of his handsome furniture.
Counsel also handed the magistrate
letter from prisoner in Exeter Jail
which the magistrate said threw
quite new light ON the case.
Counsel added that an examinati tion
of the books showed not only that
Grieg's forgeries were for very large
amounts, but there had been an ex-
tensive Justification of the books. The
prisoner had apparently been carry
ing on large businesses. At various
addresses in the city the police have
seized mass of documents and cor
respondence. They also discovered
that chloride of lime had been used
in erasing names from checks.
Col. Hunsicker told press repre-
sentative, subsequently,, that some of
the money had been recovered, but
that the loss would probably amount
tn $4,000

Meeting Of the State League Of Re-
publican Clubs at Peoria Un-
der Damp Auspices.
DID NOT DAnpEN DELEGATES ARDoa,


Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-While the
weather was very unfavorable to the
meeting of the State League OF Re
publican clubs, being the worst pos
sible sort, it in no way lessened the
enthusiasm of the vast throngs Of del
egates and friends who began to over
flow the city Tuesday night, and who
kept constantly arriving on every
train Wednesday morning.
Among the most prominent arriv-
ais, Tuesday night, were Gov. Yates,
Senator Cullom, Col. J. Jack Tanner,
j. w. Parker, state president of the
league; Alfred Bayliss, superintendent
of the public instruction; Dorsey NJ.
Patton, and many others well known
in state politics. Secretary of War
Root came in early Wednesday morn
ing from Indianapolis, where he met
President Roosevelt.
The convention opened at ten
o'clock in the coliseum, with fully
two thousand delegates in their
chairs on the main floor, while the
large stage was well filled with spec
tators, among whom were many la
dies, who took a great interest in the
meeting.
The morning session was called to
order promptly at ten o'clock by
President Parker. Prayer was Of
fered by Rev. J. H. Moron, of this
city. After the prayer, Mr.. John S.
Stevens, of Peoria, welcomed the del
egates to the city in a brief but elo-
quent address. The regular order OF
business was next taken up. At this
time President Parker delivered his
annual address. Among other things,
he pointed out the great progress
made by the league in the past year,
over one thousand clubs being organ
lied. Concluding, he said:
''The young and inexperienced vo-
ter is prone 20 follow an individual,
rather than to support the party plat
form. He is apt to become faction
alist before he is full-fedged repub-
lican. The republican party exists to
better general conditions, and the
large majority of it's members well
come international improvements.
Conduct your fight for what you
think is right from within the party,
rather than carry on separate cam
paign from a detached point which,
to the naked eye, appears suspiciously
like the camp of the enemy"

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 24.-The op.
GRAFTON on President Roosevelt was
simple, but as Indianapolis surgeons
adhere to the belief that simple trou-
bles often cause the most harm, they
went at the presidents leg with all
the care and precautions that charac-
terize really serious surgery.
No knife was used, no anesthetic
was administered.
DIR. Oliver handled a needle syringe
known as an aspirator and made d
puncture on the bruise, pierc 'ng the
cyst.
In other kinds of trouble, the same
operation is called "tapping"-thati is
the seat of the trouble is tapped and
pus, water, fluid Or liquid, or what
ever name the disease may make it,
is carefully drawn off.
No real abscess was found, the ply.
sicians say.
1t was pure serum, two ounces OF
which was removed from the leg.
In another "a hours this serum
would have become pus and an alb.
cess would have formed.
This might have spread and blood
poisoning ensued. When the presi:
dent was on the operating table his
bruise was sprayed with ether tc
deaden the pain.
The president felt the pain of the
puncture, Notwithstanding the ether,
but made no complaint.
The presidents leg was painted
with iodine after the operation and
washed half a dozen times with car
bolic solutions. Then the leg was
bound with tight bandages SO as to
keep it rigid.
DR.. Oliver said there was no abscess
simply cyst, and that there was
really nothing serious to be appre-
hended.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 24.-A reign
Of terror existed in this section of

his deputies were powerless to pre-
serve order, although every attempt
was made to do so. No sooner was
one outbreak suppressed than anoth-
er broke out.
At Nanticoke the street cars were
boarded by the mob in search of non
union men coming from Or going to
work. A sheriff's posse and a crowd
of strikers exchanged shots at Wanna
mie, after the latter had derailed a
train of coal cars. At Plymouth q
number of non-union men, on their
way home from No. mine, were held
up and beaten so badly that they
were left ON the roadway for dead.
Shortly after one o'clock demand
for more deputies was received from
no less than ten places in Luzerne
county. Those applying for aid said
that if help was not sent at once
there would be loss of property and
possible bloodshed. Sheriff Jacobs,
after a consultation with his attor-
ney, decided to take no more chances
but to appeal to the governor at
once.
Shortly before two o'clock Wednes'
day morning the sheriff telegraphed
Gov. Stone, telling him that the situ-
alton in the Wyoming region was be-
yond his control and that in order to
protect life and property troops
would have to be sent here Immediate
ly. The governors secretary replied
that the matter would be laid before
the governor at once.

vented the employees from going to
work. A deputy sheriff named Burke
was knocked down by stones and Sc"
