While some Of the strikers are ap-

Western Unions executive committee
indorsed President ciowry's battle
against the striking tlegraphers today
and issued statement calling the
strike thing Of the past the union
leaders from Samuel Gompers down
were not In the least cast down. Gem
pers gave forth statement that the
strikers will never surrender uncon-
ditionally.
President Small dubbed the West
crn Unions statement the last pieee
OF bombast before surrender. The
executive committee of the company
however, announced the fight would
be continued that the directors meet
ing tomorrow will ratify this decision
ind that the usual quarterly dividend

Arguments Over Messages.
Company officials also added Dr.
NAL of the report that they are not

week 6S,000 messages were dispatch
ed and the strife leaders come back
with the retort that II this we're true
most of the messages were sent by
mail.
Mr. Gompers was in conference
with all the union heads today. After
ward President Small declared that
the strikers simply cannot lose, for
thousands have already gone to work
for the railroads. he said "and II the
companies were to surrender tomar
row they would not be able to get
back enorgh operators to even nearly
man their wires"
After the meeting General SuperI1

NEW YORK, April 26.-Part of the real
from the Trust Company of America leaked
out yesterday.
w. o. Douglass, the assistant bond clerk,
who already stated, had been stealing
bonds from the company had been specu-
lating in the market, expecting to return
the bonds after he had made his pile. In
these speculations he was associated with
Oliver NJ. bennett. 1t was bennett who
small amounts, putting them up as col
lateral for loans from reputable stock ex-
change houses.
Last week the affairs of the Douglass
bennett combina ton became so desperate
that Douglass decided that nothing but a
bold stroke could save him. On last Fri
day, therefore, he dipped into a particular
one of the trust company's strong boxes
and walked away with several hundred
thousand dollars worth of bonds-not $4,000
worth One man who had heard the retails
of the case said that the clerk tooR 500 900
of the bonds.
1t was Douglass purpose after making
this big haul to open negotiations and coerce
the trust company into giving him i'm
munity for the smaller thefts provided he
would return the larger amount.
Arrested in Boston.
Following this plan a letter, it is said
was sent by either Douglass bennett
to Boston to endeavor 20 secure the serv-
ices of Josiah Quincy, once mayor of Bos
ton, and, like bennett, a member of the
Manhattan Club here. bennett was for
merly a Boston man and was arrested in
Boston some years ago after bucket shop
failure Just through whom Mr.. Quincy
was approached with a request that he act
as counsel for Douglass in negotiation with
the trust company is not stated. but Den
nett says Mr.. Quincy declined TO have any
thing to do with the case.
A Rhode Island lawyer it is understood,
called on President Oakleigh Thorne of the
trust company on Sunday in regard to this
matter of peaceful settlement of the
trouble between the trust company and the
Dennett-Douglass combinations. Mr.. Thorne
informed the lawyer that both bennett and
Douglass were under arrest, and that broke
up the conference.
On Monday Robertson Honey, a lawyer of
this city, appeared for Douglass Mr.. Honey
announced at the time that he had not
been retained by the defendant, but by
other person. Mr.. Honey is a brother-in-
law of Josiah Quincy and is the son of
Samuel r. Honey of Newport, former lieu
tenant governor of Rhode Island He is
graduate of Harvard and West Point and
was an assistant under District Attorney
Asa Bird Gardiner.
that there is a third man in Boston. not
named, who is concerned in some way or
other with Douglass and bennett. This
man is described as fairly prominent, both
in financial and political circles in Massa-
chusettS.
Loss Over $4,000.
That the plan to force the trust company
into giving Douglass immunity failed was
due in large part. it is believed, to the
prompt action which President Thorne and
other members of the trust company took.
