IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BuREAU.l

Washington. July 24-On the action of Public
Printer Palmer tomorrow morning. when W. a.
Miller will report for duty as assistant foreman
of the bindery. depends a strike OF the book
binders in the Government Printing Office. This
situation developed tonight at a protracted
meeting of the bookbinders' organization. At
the close of the meeting the officers Of the or
ganization said that no statement of the action
of the meeting would be given out tonight.
The news will develop tomorrow morning,
was the only positive statement Of President
Barrett OF the union.
The situation is decidedly one of suspense so
far the binders are concerned, as Mr.. Palmer
has declined to indicate in any manner what
his action will be.
1t is known that Mr.. Palmer called on Secre-
tary Cortelyou late this afternoon but the result
Of that call was not indicated by either official.
There is the best reason for believing that the
binders expect Mr.. Palmer to inform Miller in
the morning that serious charges have been filed
against him. and that. pending the investigation
of these charges he will be suspended. This.
they are confident. would permanently settle the
present question. they have no doubt of their
| ability to make their charges hold.
Should this course be followed. Miller will
| have an opportunity to answer the charges.
| both to Mr.. Palmer and to the Civil Service
| Commission to which he may appeal under the
/ law. Should Mr.. Palmer take no action on the
/ charges there is little doubt that the binders
will quit work and as they. are affiliated with
the printers through the American Federation
| of Labor. the whole Government Printing Office
| plant would be tied up. The binders, however,
! prefer to look the brighter side of the ques-
! tion tonight,
! The officers of the International Bookbinders
| Union will arrive in Washington at s o'clock to-

check for $25 on Detroit bank accom-
panied this unique epistle, and the amount,
being $40 in excess Of what was required for the
railway fare, helped to disarm suspicion by the
apparent generosity. The certificate bore the
name Of John P. Harris, Union Passenger
Agent" and was dated June 81. AS the letter
was dated June %, only few days were left in
which to take advantage OF the reduced rates
and the victims, with no time to spare induced
some unwary friend landlady to cash the
check. and hastily forwarded the SIS specified
as the price Of a round trip ticket to Detroit to
John P Harris at certain postoffice box, the
number OF which was stamped on the certih-
cate.
In their haste the victims did not reflect that
a railway official was not likely to have his
mail addressed to postoff1ce box. Neither did
they take the pains to preserve the number Of
the box. The victims then sat down and waited
for their tickets but instead of tickets they
secured protested checks. Not even the receipt
of the protested check was sufficient to open
the eyes of the victims, and not until they had
written several times to the National League
without receiving any answer were they con-
Vinced that they had been swindled.
The scheme very carefully thought out
in all its details. The of the National
League of American Women sounds much like
that of the National Council of Women and
other reputable organizations and those un-
familiar with the numerous feminine organiza-
tions might easily have assumed that the Ma
tional League was of these bodies.
Furthermore, the limitation of time in apply
ing for the reduced rate ticket left the victims
no time to reflect or inquire. and it also enabled
the swinders to get in all their money from all
over the country before the character Of their
enterprise was discovered.

HIS LIFE FOR THEIRS.
DriUer Killed IN SaUing Woman and
Babe from RunaYay.

night Richard Meyers, twenty-eight years old,
a driver, Of No. 800 Columbus-ave., Manhattan,

Of the horse and run over by the wagon, he was
instantly killed.
Meyers was nployed by a grocer, at fremont
ave. an Boston Road. He had returned to the
store with the wagon, and on foot delivered an
other order When returning to the store Mey-
ers saw the horse he had been driving coming
toward him through Tremont-ave at furious
mace The animal had been frightened by an
automobile.
In the middle Of the driveway and directly in
front of St Thomass Roman Catholic Church
stood Mrs Spero who refused to give her ad-
dress She was pushing baby carriage Wom-
en- and children on the sidewalks screamed with
terror. Mrs. spero seemed petrifled with fear
and stood still
Meyers rushed into the roadway. The fright
ened animal was almost on the woman as he
reached her side. Meyers pushed Mrs. Spero
and the baby carriage to one side and at the
same time tried TO grasp the bride Of the horse.
He missed it by a few inches, and the horse
str,,cL him. knocking him 10 the ground. The
horse trampled on him. and then the wheels of
the wagon passed over his body. The baby
carriage rolled 10 the curb and Mrs. Spero fell
to the ground, the wagon passing within few
inches Of her body.
The horse increased his speed and ran west
ward Patrolman Barnecott rushed into the
roadway and grasped the bride He was
dragged for fifty feet before he brought the
horse TO a standstill.

QUICK WORK FOR GAFFNEY.
RECKLESS AFFIDAVIT.
Judge HcMahon PERMITS Inspection
of Grand Jury Minutes.

Judge Martin T. Mcmahon. in General Ses-
sions yesterday. granted the motion of Peter A.
Hendrick, counsel for James f. Gaffney. for an
inspection of the evidence presented TO the grand
jury on which Gaffney indicted. Mr.. Hen
drick submitted an affidavit in support Of his
argument in which il is said that only three wit
nesses-P J. Scully, William H Burke and
Frederick r. Killeen-gave testimony in the
Ciaffney case before the grand jury. Mr.. Hen
drick represented to Judge McMahon that these
three witnesses could not by any possible means
have known anything material about Gafney
being a stockholder in the New-York Contract
ing and Trucking Company. Mr.. Hendricks
affidavit caused a smile the Criminal Courts
Building. The Indictment paper shows that
eight witnesses testified concerning Gaffney's
offence.
on Tuesday Judge Mcmahon said that he
would personally inspect the minutes and see II
the motion was proper. Yesterday he admitted,
in response to Assistant District Attorney
CIarke's question that he had not seen the min
utes. giving as a reason for not having read
them that they had not been furnished to him.
The clerk and stenographer Of the grand jury
both said yesterday that it was the invariable
custom for judges. when they desired to see the
minutes of the grand jury. 10 send their court
officer for whatever they wanted.
DID NOT WAIT FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Mr.. Hendrick opened his argument for an in
spection Of the minutes without waiting for the
appearance of any one from the District Attor-
ney's office
After Mr.. Hendrick had finished mis- argument
and nut in his afidavit he turned to Mr..
Clarke who had just entered the courtroom.
and thrust copy Of the affidavit at him. Mr.
Clarke looked at it and said:
ct haven't anv particular use for this affi-
davit now 1t should have been served on US

paper toward Mr. Hendrick.

with show of indignation.
We'll, protest against your conduct in COM
ing here without letting US know that you were
going to make a reargument for an inspection
of the minutes and not allowing US TO see your
affidavit until after you have made your argu-
ment." said Mr.. Clarke. with more than or
dinary warmth
II was afterward learned that both Mr.. Jerome
and Mr.. Clarke had distinctly understood that
the case was on the calendar solely for the pur-
pose Of taking Gaffney's plea 10 the indictment.
AS is customary in such cases, nobody appeared
for the District Attorney. but Notwithstanding
this fact Mr. Hendrick proceeded to argue the

The New-York Tribune here a great swindle of
women has been uncovered. Circular letters were

to well known in the East. They invited
women TO become members of the league, and
promised checks to pay expenses from their homes
TO Detroit and return The letters were signed
bv Phoebe a. Calvin, president. and the address
given was the Majestic Building. The women were
to get their tickets from John P. Harris supposed

never had an Office in the Majestic Building. She
has no standing among the banks here and is not
known here at all Z. Doyle. agent of the Ma
