local board bound to Foraker to delay action
for three days He will hear arguments Tor the
three committees in Columbus tomorrow. and
will decide himself which is legal.
On the decision hinges the chief fight in OHIO
Both the Foraker and Taft forces have centred
their contest in Cleveland. Should the regular
committee pro-Taft and assailed Illegal be-
cause of having served two years when elected
for only one, be held illegal, at least thirty
county committees would be thrown out and
Foraker would get opportunity to capture a
score of committees now allied with Secretary

county organization The Taft followers de-
clare that Secretary Thompson will undoubtedly
uphold the present committee, the members of
which are composed strictly Of Taft supporters.
The ForakE men reiterate the declaration that
they will win in the end. The third faction,
which insists upon the Endorsement of President
Roosevelt for reelection, has taken no decisive
action.

Several tons of sand used for slippery rails

the only one which remained. 1t was fifteen
feet long and ten feet high. There were at least
five tons of sand heaped side of this
wall Yesterday afternoon the Iaborers were
put TO work cleaning up the debris The re-
moval of the sand is believed to have caused
the wall to topple over.
Without any warning and just as the men
were about to quit work for the day the wall
fell burying the men under it. Several of the
Italians who had escaped began shouting that
many had been Killed. Their cries attracted a

MINORITY FORCED OUT
SMALL BUTCHERS ANGRY .
Liuely Time at Election OF Meat
Con, pany President.

Trouble developed yesterday at the meeting ol
+h +ookbo1ders of the New York Butchers
Dressed Meat Company. of NO. $50 EleVeh''i
avenue at which Arthur Bloch, the vice-presi-
dent was elected president, to succeed Frederich
Josanb who resigned about week ago. Julius
Henry Cohen representing the minority stock
holders. says he was forcibly elected from the
room, after his clients of whom there were about
two hundred present had not been allowed TO
vote
The meeting which held in the office OF
the president of the concern, was called TO order
bv Arthur Bloch, the vice president, and II was
at once suggested that the election OF a ne"
nresident proceed. Mr.. Cohen stepped forward
and urged that the election take place in anotner
room, to which his clients were clamoring for
admission According to one of the minority
stockholders Isaac Fromme, who represented
the majority interests, said it would be impos-
sible and surrounding himself with three men,
who looked like prizefighters, proceeded to clear
the room of all except his friends One of the
employees of the firm saw the scrimmage ana
called in two policemen, who succeeded in re-
storing order.
The minority stockholders say they have not
received dividends, and have begun an action
in the Supreme Court to obtain an order direct
ing the officials of the firm to open the books
for inspection.
Mr.. Cohen's clients hold $35O.OOO of the stock
Last May Frederick Joseph bought from the
Bloch interests 100000 of stock at $1,000 a
share and became president of the concern
He paid for half of this, but falling to pay for
the full amount lost control and resigned The
stockholders demanded this action when 1t was
rumored he had purchased the stock for the
Beef Trust against which organization the New
York Butchers Company was organized to
fight
One of the charges made by the minority cCm-
nlittee is that while Mr.. Bloch was president
year ago the control of affairs was not really
in his hands but in those of his lawyer, Mr.
Fromme who, they say, ran the business of the
corporation. Charles Grismer. chairman of the
minority committee. said last night:
I'VE want to the books of the firm and
find out the status of the company's affairs. We
want also to know who controls the majority
stock, as have heard rumors that the trust
has gained control We organized the company
to keep up the competition with the trust and
we do not purpose to be frozen out
d. Wynant, of No. 11S Front street, holding
shares amounting to $12,50O was another who
was not admitted, Mr.. GriSmer said.
There are 325 retail butchers among the mi
nority stockholders. Charles Grismer, Peter
Schmidt and August Grimm. leaders of the
minority said they and their associates invested
in the company because it understood that
it would continue independent of the beef trust
and would give the retailers a fair opportunity
to purchase supplies at the lowest market prices.
AS most of the stockholders patronized the con-
Germ they expected to benefit accordingly.
