FLEECE THE COUNTY
BIG SCHEME TO DEFRAUD UN-
EARTHED IN CHICAGO.
TAXES ARE MARKED PAID.
WHEN TREASURER HAD NOT SEEN
COLOR OF THE MONEY.

SDeciaI Session of Grand Jury Or
dered to Investigate Charges,
Which Involve Prominent Men.
States Attorney Says scheme Was
to Defraud Cook County out of
Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars.
Luke wheeler Said to BE the Head
of Conspiracy - Lofty Masonic
Chicago. Aug. 30.-Judge Brentano
to-day ordered a venire for special
grand jury to convene next Tuesday
to consider the taX-fXing scandals
that have thrown county officers into
a turmoil during the past week.
Bench warrants also will issue against
several persons as yet unknown.
The action is a result of the UNI
earthing by States Attorney Deneen
of what he thinks to be a gigantic
conspiracy to defraud Cook county out
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
Last week it was discovered that the
tax account of the Masonic Temple
building had apparently been tamper-
ed with on the books of the county
treasurer. The charges was laid be-
fore the states attorney that the en-
try of paid" before an item of $685.
77O.17 was a forgery. County Treasurer
S. B. Raymond and his chief clerk,
John Becker, asserted that the money
was never paid. Capt. Williams,
manager for the Masonic Temple AS
ISOLATION, maintains that the taxes
were paid in cash.
The scheme Made Clear.
The Daily News prints to-day what
purports to be an expose of the scan
dial. Michael G.. Walsh, an employe
of the county treasurer, made state
ment which he said was the same as
that which started States Attorney
Deneen on his investigation.
According to Walsh he was APP
preached by Luke Wheeler, a man,
who, he maintains, was head of the
conspiracy. Wheeler, Walsh said, tod
him that the Masonic Temple Associa-
ton was in bad shape financially and
that a bond issue was necessary-prob
ably for more than 100000. In order
to permit of this bond issue, the tax
title to the big twenty two-story office
building must be clear.
The plan proposed to Walsh was
that he mark paid" in the tax war
rant book in the space devoted to he
| tax on the Temple for 1901. Walsh said
| Wheeler promised ample protection,
| and that all that was necessary FOR
| the time being to show that the build
ing stood clear of the $4,000 taxes
against it. The property had been sold
the year previous for taxes and If the
present taxes were allowed to remain
against the company the trust COM
panies would not touch the bonds.
Walsh said he was to get $500 Of
81 800 to be paid for the job. Walsh
maintains he told States Attorney
Deneen about the affair and that after
wards somebody made the forged en-

Envelope the Future Movements of
White Squadron.

On Board the United States Steam
ship Alabama, Menemsha Blight, Mar
tha's Vineyard, Mass, Aug. 30-Mys-
FERROUS and secretive to-day is Rear
Admiral Higginson's White Squadron.
The warships have their orders, but
none except the captains and execu-
tive officers know their purport. The
mobilization of the squadron contin-
ued last night with the arrival of the
scorpion. At O'Clock the Gloucester
sailed. Her destination was unknown,
but it is understood she passed out on
scout duty.
Admiral Higginson has not ordered
the camp of marines on Martha S
Vineyard to be broken, and it is con-
sidered possible that they will not re-
port back to their ships until hostili-
ties are discontinued. One of the rea-
sons why he decided to keep the ma
rines on shore is the overcrowding in
cident to the quartering of the naval
reserves.
In view of the opening of the period
of hosulities, there was much discus
sion amongst the officers, especially
the ensigns and midshipmen of the
war game on the Massa chusetts coast
All agree that the experience was of
great value.
Weather conditions have been su-
perb with the air clear and eXhilarat-
ing. Officers and men are physically
in splendid form and eager for action.

Passenger Train Is Hurled From
TracI-Two Killed, Three Fatally
Injured.
Waseca, Mimi, Aug. 30.-Two per-
sons were killed, three fatally injured
and more than score of others hurt
this evening in the wreck of a train
which had been hurled down an en-
bankment by a tornado.
A train west bound on the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway, consisting
of an engine, a baggage coach and
two crowded passenger cars, while
running at the rate of 35 miles an
hour, was struck by the tornado two
miles from Meridian. The passenger
and baggage cars were hurled eighteen
feet down the embankment.
A brakeman was lighting the car
lamps when the crash came. and the
wreckage was ignited by the oil.
The dead are: Demar Peterson, aged
years, Waseca, Mimi; a woman. sup
posed to be Anna w. Bickford, Albert
Lea, MINI.
The fatally injured are: Miss Eva
Richardson, New Ulm, Mimi, hurt in
ternally; A. c. Mcconnell, Bookings,
S. D., hurt internally; unidentified wo-
man, crushed.
The engineer is reported to have seen
the tornado following the train and
scarcely an instant before the wind
struck the cars the train gave a lurch
forward, in a sudden squirt to evade
the funnel-shaped fury. The engine did
not leave the track, the baggage car
and passenger coaches having been
torn away and hurled to the bottom
Of the embankment, The baggage car
was shattered TO splinters.
The two dead were damned in the
wreckage, and their bodies were cut
cut with AXIS. 1t is feared that more
bodies may be found underneath the
debris, and wrecking gangs sent from
Waseca are at work.
The brakeman, who was lighting the
lamps in one Of the passenger coaches
when the tornado struck, cannot be
found tonight 1t is feared his body
may be in the wreckage.A
oil from the lamp which was being
lighted was ignited by the flame on
the wick, and to the terrors of death
by violence was added the danger Of
death by fire for those of the victims
who were imprisoned in the wreckage.
But men who were the first to pick
their way out Of the wreckage ex-
tinguished the flames before attempt
ing to rescue the injured survivors.

SPREAD FROM DOOR TO DOOR.
Gobin's stern Orders Produced
Quiet at Tanaauun

Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. 3O.-Strike lead
ers went from door to door in the
Panther Creek valley last night
spreading the news of Gen. Gobin's
stern warning and his instruction to
the men to shoot and shoot to kill if
molested in any manner.
That the words of the commanding
officer have had at least a temporary
effect was shown to-day when the
troops escorted several hundred non
union men to work without being mo-
Tested in any way. Companies E and
f went out at daylight with their
guns loaded and their best marksmen
on the flank. When the soldiers
passed the crowds of strikers on the
street they deliberately turned their
backs on them. However, there was
no hooting or jeering.
Supplementing his order of last
night, Gen. Goblin has directed Mai.
Gearhart, in command here, to arrest
all women and girls who insult the
troops in any way. The opinion seems
to prevail among the officers and cit
liens that the lull in the rioting will
last but short time. The fact that
more men went to work to-day than
yesterday is not calculated to improve
the temper of the strikers.
