PLOT TOTHWART JUSTICE
ALLEGED CONSPIRACY BLOCKED
BY STATES ATTORNEY DINEEN.
Two Witnesses In an Election Fraud
Case Said to Have Been Bribed
to Leave Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 10.-A well-planned con-
spiracy to defeat justice and seriously in
terfere with the prosecution of the election
judges and clerks who are under indict-
ment for frauds perpetrated at the recent
judicial balloting In the Eighteenth ward
was blocked to-day by States Attorney
Dineen. The conspiracy involved the names
of two of the most important OF the States
witnesses, and as a result Of information
which seached Mr.. Dineen Leander Good
rich is In Jail and John Barrett is being de-
tanned and being subjected to a searching
examination by the prosecution, which is
seeking 90 get at the bottom Of the con-
spiracy.
The States attorney is not convinced
that the conspiracy was not originated by
two of the prosecutions witnesses for the
purpose of extorting money from Alderman
Bremen and others who are under indict-
ment 1t is said that yesterday afternoon
a friend of Alderman Brennan approached
the Eighteenth ward nsnber ofsthe City
Council and informed him that two of the
States witnesses were anxious to get clear
of the political scandal, and If he or any
other one of the indicted men was willing
to produce 81 900 and two tickets to Mon,
treal they would skip out. The place of
meeting was made known to States At
torney Dineen, and he sent a detective to
Frank Brothers's saloon, where the ZOO
was TO be paid. Three citizens were there
to watch the payment of the money.
1t was stated that before the final pre-
liminary arrangements had been made the
destination of the two States witnesses
was changed from Canada to South Africa
and the transportation was arranged for
that country. When the two witnesses ap-
peared at the meeting place and the con-
spiracy had reached a stage where IL was
time to act the two men were arrested and
taken to police headquarters.

WILL CONSIDER SCALES
GLASS WORKERS. AND EMPLOYERS
TO MEET AT-sTAR ISLAND.
Proposition to Combine the Green
Glass Bottle Blowers and the
Flint Glass Makers.

CINCINNATI. July 10.-The Flint Glass
to an agreement with the Glass Manufac-
turers' Association to have their joint con-
ference committees meet at Star Island,
Mich, July 20, the object being then to
consider wage scales for several branches
of the business and also take some action
in regard to tariff changes on glassware
which, 1t is understood, may be proposed
in the next Congress. On this point the idea
would be to unite the forces of the manu-
facturers and workers in resisting the
changes which might have a detrimental
effect on the glass industries of the coun-
try. President Rowe and Vice President
Dobbins will so with the workers confer
ence committee.
The delegates are awaiting the coming
of the green glass bottle blowers before dis
cussng the proposed consolidation of that
organization with their own. Representa-
tives of the green blowers who are here are
noncommital on the subject and 1T is be-
lieved that nothing will come of it, Things
which count against the consolidation are
the circumstances that the Green Glass
Bottle Blowers Association has a reserve
fund OF some S200.0OU at present while the
National Union of Flint Workers, while il
has more members, is not so we'll off finan-
cially. ID. A. Hayes. who is president of
the green blowers, is understood to be
strongly opposed to the consoiidat tion and
so are the other chief officers. Because of
these things IL is said by some now that
the consolidation is sure to fail. though
there is chance that the organizations
may be able to agree on some plan of
federation which will leave them both in
dependent and with their regular national
officers, though acting together in matters
where their interests are mutual

spring water rises and forms cold under

began yelling for assistance. Mcclure and
Atkins started to help him and were also
overcome, as they were unable to swim.

prayer books, and tried forcibly to
make priests and laymen acknowledge
the Greek patriarch. This unchrist-
ian method of PROSECUTING, of which
history records many cases, results
from an application Of the sultan's
favorite diplomatic maxim-"divide
and conquer" He is now favoring the
Greek christian dogs" over the Bull
garian Christian dogs" just as ten
years ago he favored the Bulgars over
the Greeks. The Greeks are falling in
with his present scheme joyfully, just
as the Bulgars did Neither party
hesitated to join the Mohammedan in
prosecuting a rival faction of Christ
ians.
In perusing the list of horrors edited
by the Bulgarian government for the
consumption of the European govern
ments, it is we'll to remember that the
Turks could probably present an
equally long and grewsome list of hor-
rors perpetrated by the Macedonian
Bulgars upon the Turks. The guer-
rilla warfare is carried on with the
same ferocity on both sides. When
the insurgents. carried Krushevo they
killed every Turk in it; week later
the Turkish regulars retook and killed
every Bulgar in it. Both sides are
tarred with the same stick, although
the Turks have not yet gone to the
length of kidnapping an American mis-
sionary and holding her for a ran
som. as the Macedonian insurgents.
The Bulgarian government is labor
ing to produce a condition of things
which will make the powers intervene,
supposing that the Intervention will
result in the Turks taking another
backward step out of Europe. If Bull
garia succeeds in bringing about such
an event, however devious her meth
DDS, good will assuredly result. For
the Turk does not belong in Europe,
and his presence there is a continual
menace to the peace of the continent

stance. a regiment while on the way
from Uskub to Monastir demanded
that the train be stopped at Salonika
for twelve hours instead of for the
scheduled half-hour, so that the sol
diers might amuse themselves in the
town. After futile endeavors to pre-
vail upon the men to allow the train
to proceed the officers were obliged
to grant their demand.
The killing of Bulgarian workmen
who were repairing the railroad track
near Uskub is another grave instance
of the INSTRUMENTATION of the Turkish
troops. Details of the affair show that
a trainload of Turkish soldiers, soon
after leaving the railroad station at
Uskub. not only fired on and killed
three Bulgarians who were at work on
the road and left the bodies lying on
the line, but some of the soldiers left
the train and pursued other Bull

Worth of Goldfish.
All that William Selak Of Reading,
Pa, has to show for 500 eighteen-caret
goldfish that populated one Of his
fish ponds at Angelica is a ten-pound
swapping turtle.
Selak breeds goldfish, and half a
thousand of his finest stock were
penned in pond by themselves.
Doubtless the swapping turtle, which
lived in a brook flowing into the
pond, had Toasted in anticipation upon
the goldfish before he decided upon
making a foray.
Working his way over the barriers
that separated him from the pond he
commenced an onslaught upon the
fish. He stayed not until 500 of them
were dead
Apparently the turtle killed in wan
tonness, for few of the fish were
eaten. Selak noticed the dead fish
and drew the water out of the pond to
find out what was the trouble. Then
the huge snapper was revealed.
There were many silverfish in the
pond. but the turtle touched none
of these, combining himself to the gold
fish. The fish were worth about 5000.
