TOOK FIRMS MONEY
Is. 3. Miller, Travelling For Dubuque
Firm, Said to Have Taken $1,000 Of
His Employers -Peculations
Extended Over Number of Years.

Spectal to T1mes-Republican.
dubuque, Sept. 2O.-S. B. Miller,
travelling salesman for the Myers Cox
Company, tobacco house, is accused Of
embezzling the firms money. prob
ably 10 the amount of $4,000.
! Miller broke down completely when
confronted with the accusation tho he
confessed at once. d. D. Myers, presi
dent Of the company stated that the
condition had been suspected for some
months, tho tangible evidence was not
at hand until last week. Mr.. Myers
Ihaa known the man intimately during
the years Of his service with his firm
and Mrs Miller he knew as child in
DUBUQUE. The couple reside at Fort
| Dodge.
May Not Prosecute.
1--WE have not yet Determined what
action we shall take in the matter"
said Mr.. Myers. There is small sat
isfaction in prosecuting man crimi-
nally from a commercial viewpoint
tho the moral example of such proceed
IRE is altogether wholesome. Yet we
are undecided"
There appears no evidence that Mil
Ter was inclined to any of the vices
which deaden the conscience and con-
sume a mans substance, and the in
ference is that with some sickness In
his family together with the good fell
lowship that is liable to spring from
intimate acquaintance with his Gus
toners. during years Of association, he
used funds, little at a time, belong
ing to the firm until the aggregate
shortage became SO large, that sys-
tematic course of deception was neces-
sary and this was employed. He man
aged up to the last to make a show
ing of collections but the amounts
turned in became so small in compart-
son to what was owing that on being
confronted with the accusation he real
lied the futility of further attempt at
deception and made clean breast OF
the matter.
Bears Moral.
Not less than $4,000. which the final
showing 1t is believed. will aggregate
in all probability represents the sum
total OF numerous petty appropriations
to his own use of his employers money

beyond what his salary should suffice

Temporary Chairman Horn
blower Attacks Republican
Administration
SAYS NEW YORK WANTS CHANGE.
Denies Th.t the Country Has Been
More Prosperous Under the Repuh-
Hcans Than Under the Democrats
New Jersey Republicans Nominate
Stokes.

Saratoga, N. T., Sept. 20.-The DEM
ocratic state convention assembled here
today to nominate the full state tickets.
William b. Hornblower was named as
temporary chairman. His speech was
devoted to comparison Of democratic
and republican administrations, and he
said he believed the people OF New
York were thoroughly dissatisfied with
the conduct of affairs by the republic
can party.
After accepting the temporary chair
manship of the convention. which he
said he considered a duty, as well as
| an honor, Hornblower said in part:
"It is arrogantly assumed by the nat
ional platform Of the republican party
and by their candidate for the pres1-
dency, that the record Of that party
is unassailable. 1t is also arroeantiy
assumed and contemptuously asserted
that the record of the democratic par
| ty Is a record of disaster, but they
have no basis in truth.
The speaker then compared condlt-s
| ions existing during the period between;
| 1901 and 1851, when, with two Dr1ef1
exceptions, the country was under
democratic rule, and that from ~ TO
| III. when the republicans were IN pow 4
| er; also to the first administration OF
President Cleveland, and continued az
follows:
I'VE propose to do away with the in
| EQUITIES of a high protective tariff 80
far as the tariff operates to imposs
upon the people of the country un-
necessary and unjust taxation. We
propose to give to the people OF the
Philippine islands promise of tl1attin-
dependence to which we believe they
are entitled, at the earliest practicable
moment.
I'VE. propose to give the people an
economical administration Of public
revenues. we propose to re-establisn
in the government of this country dis
tinctions between executive and legis-
lative fuctions.
eve believe that to re-elect the pre-
sent incumbent to the presidential Of
fee, would be to condone grave offenc-
es against our form of government,
and would be to sanction similar acts
in the future. We believe the people
of this state are thoroughly dissatis-
fled with the conduct of affairs by the
republican party. The republican cam
didate for governor was nominated by
machine methods and pursuant to per-
sonal dictation and represents the most
objectionable features of such methods
and dictation in the state Of New
York
After Hornblower concluded adj
iournment was taken until tomorrow.

London, Sept. 20.-The day of atone
ment was marked in London by a SER
les of rioting in Jewish quarter of the

Two men Identified.

Two men Identified.
Mount Carroll, LII, Sept. 20-After a
sweat box investigation lasting sew
eral hours one of the men arrested in
Thomson Saturday for the murder of
Mayor Wayland f. Bennett is said to
have admitted his identity. He is be-
lieved to be John Powell Of Chicago,
a son Of the superintendent of the city
water pipe extension department.
The other prisoner, the one who fired
the shot, persists in calling himself
BILLY Meyers" but his companion
says this is not his true name. Powell,
alias John Johnson, has declared re-
peatedly to Sheriff Doty and States
Attorney Markley that he does not
know his companions real name. He
says he knows him only as Joe" 1t is
known that Meyers, as he chooses to
call himself, is a native of the west
side, Chicago, and his identity will be
established in a few hours.
Detective Gives Tip.
The sheriff and states attorney will
not disclose how they identified Pow
ell, but it is said the tip came from a
Chicago detective. The question was
put to him if his name was not Powell,
and he is said to have replied:
Yes, but don't want my father to
know about it. I have caused him
enough trouble already"
1t was also learned yesterday that
the card found on Powell, which was
issued to F. P. Ryan. as member OF
Division No. 30S, Amalgamated Asso-
citation Of Street Railroad Employees Of
North America, is the property Of F. p.
Ryan Of Harrison and Aberdeen streets
Chicago.
Ryan is brother of Alderman Ford
D. Ryan Of the Nineteenth ward, Chi
cago, and was the victim Of robber
last spring. His watch and $50 were
taken from him; also his membership
card in the Street Railroad Employees
Association. He is q motorman for the
Union Traction Company.
The robbery was committed in his
brothers saloon while he was asleep in
back room. The finding Of the card
in Powell's possession clears up the
mystery as to the identity of the thief.
