FRAUD
Buffalo Dry Goods Men Get Salty
Sentences For Get Rich Quick
Conspiracy.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Aug. 3.-The
former Buffalo dry goods men convict,
ed OF conspiracy and secreting goods
to defraud creditors in bankruptcy
were yesterday sentenced to long
terms of Imprisonment and heavily
fined. The convicted men and their
sentences are:
Albert ]. Lowrie, eight months i'm,
prisonment in the penitentiary and a
fine of $1,000.
Harry Joseph, thirteen months i'm
Drisonment and fine Of $1,000.
Isaac Joseph, Moses Henler and
Aaron Schwartz, a fine of $1,000 each.
Lowrie and Harry Joseph will APP
peal.
Lowrie opened a clothing store in
Buffalo in 1903. Large quantities of
goods were shipped to the firm by New
York, Rochester, Syracuse and Phila'
delphia concerns. When Lowrie went
into bankruptcy only $4,000 worth of
goods could be located by the credi,
tors. After an investigation warrants
we're issued for the arrest of Lowrle
and the others. At the trial the fact
was brought out that goods received
by Lowrie were taken to another part
of the building, where they were re,
packed and shipped out of Buffalo
under another firms name to Scran'
ton and Forest City, Pa, where they
we're retailed by others in, the CON
spiracy

Down on PASS RlBIT
Col. J. Hamilton Lewis Inausurates
Some Reforms.

Col. James Hamilton Lewis, the re-
Gently appointed corporation counsel,
has taken the oath of ONCE and as
sumed charge of the legal affairs Of
the city, says dispatch to the Wash
ington Post from Chicago. His first
act was to prohibit every assistant
corporation counsel, stenographer, in.
vestigator, messenger and other at
taches of the Office, from accepting
any gratuities of amy sort whatever"
Railroad passes, theatre tickets, street
car books, free lake trips, telegraph
franks and presents from any public
utility corporations which have or
are likely to have any dealings with
the city are some of the things to
which Mr.. Lewis objects.
This is following the policy laid
down by Mayor Dunno Immediately
upon his Inauguration. The mayor
returned all gratuities except those
which could be used in the transac'
lions of the city's business, and he
accepted those with the expressed
stipulation that they would be used
for no other purpose.
THE pass habit seems small
thing" Colonel Lewis said, but l dis.
like it. 1t may not, but it is likely to,
Interfere with the proper discharge
of public service, Therefore, l have
prohibited the persons of my depart.
ment from accepting them"
This does not mean that l will be
compelled to purchase my own thea.
tire tickets" the prettiest of the
stenographers of the corporation
counsel's Office mused as she read the
order. al really don't see why this
order should have been promulgated
before l went away on my vacation
| wanted to go to Oregon, but ! guess
l won't go any farther than Fox Lake
now"
While some of the assistants were
inclined to jest about the new order,
none 0 fthem objected.
Because" one said, ut doesn't
mean much to me. l never get a pass
except a railroad pass for my vacation,
and l have had that"
The personal appearance of the
employees of the Office was more than
neat yesterday. They anticipated
that Mr.. Lewis would commence his
administration. Maclay Hoyne wore
a new serge suit Of perfect fit. Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Beckwith ap.
peared with a new emerald scarfpin,
tie kind that Colonel Lewis wears.
Assistant Barge had a new suit of
fancy black cloth, adding 20 per cent.
TO his professional appearance. AS,
sistant Hornstein had a new light
outing suit, and several of the others
had their clothes pressed.

pitched battle in which sticks and

paugh,
The work in which the New Castle
men have been engaged is the con-
struction of the new cut of which is
near the Hazelton mill. Last evening
while performing their usual labors
they were attacked by large force of
Republic Steel Company employees,
These men were armed with various
kinds of weapons, and in addition car
ried a quantity Of dynamite to which
lighted fuses were attached. The
deadly explosive was thrown into the
crowd of railroad workmen who were
compelled to fee for their lives.
A great deal of damage was done
by the attacking force of workmen,
the new tracks being blown up by
the charges of dynamite. While this
work of devastation was being accom-
plished the railroad men had recruit
ed their forces and returned to the
attack. 1t was at this critical mo-
ment that the sheriff of the county
interfered, probably preventing CON
siderable loss of life.
The cause of the trouble is dispute
between the railroad and the steel
companies as to the right of the B.
and 0. people to occupy and use the
ground which has been appropriated
for the purpose of making the cutoff
