AGAINST CLASS ISSUES.
Manufacturers Association Takes a
Decided Stand.

New York, May 20.-Following up
the important action of it's earlier ses-
sions protes ting against political agi-
tation of a demagogic nature calucu-
lated to set capital and labor at odds,
the National Association of Manufac-
turers in annual convention here took
a decided stand against the raising of
class issues by the great political par
ties of the nation. This action was in
the form of a resolution introduced by
John Kirby of Dayton, O., and worded
as follows: E.sE
Resolved, That the president OF
this association be authorized and In
structed to select such members as he
may deem proper to serve with him
as committee to represent this as
ISOLATION before the national execu-
tive committees Of the two political
parties, and that he invite the CO.
operation of committees from other
associations to the end that class
declaration planks may be omitted
from the platforms of both parties"
Close upon the heels of this move
by the manufacturers came the taking
on their part of decided stand
against the advance in freight rates,
which the trunk lines Of the country
have announced to be impending. The
manufacturers seek an amicable adj
justment of the matter with the rail-
roads, but failing that announce their
intention of resisting the proposed
advance in the courts by process of
Injunction or otherwise. IL
The aid of other associations is to
be invoked, if thought advisable, by
a committee authorized to carry the
terms of the resolution into effect

SAID TO BE "PEEPlNG TOM
Curiosity Gets One Man Into Trouble
and He Paid q Fine.

From fridays DAILY.
Albert Vosbeck was arrested at
1890 o'clock last night by Officer
Simmonds, on complaint of a lady
residing on South Broad street, who
called up the police station and said
that he had been playing the part
of a Peeping Tom while she was dis
robing for the night. He was allowed
to 90 until this morning, when a
friend advanced $40 bail to secure
his appearance. He was arraigned at
ten o'clock today on the charge of dis
orderly conduct, pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to pay a fine of $40 and
costs, which he did. The court in
formed him that if another charge
had been preferred against him the
punishment would have been heavier
VOsbeck was arrested three or four
years ago on a similar charge, pre-
ferred by a lady on Fourth street
Last night he frightened the South
Broad street lady so badly that she
may not get over it for some time,
so it is reported. Vosbeck is a mid
dle-aged man and has family, and
his friends are at loss to account for
his actions.
George Huntley, deaf mute, was
arrested this morning on the charge of
assault in the third degree, preferred
by A. d. Carpenter, who alleges that
yesterday he struck his wife, Mabel E.
Carpenter He pleaded not guilty and
his trial was set for May Is at 9
a. M, and he was allowed to 90 upon
his own recognizance in the sum a
500.
The two families live over a store
on South Front street.
Deputy Sheriff G. G. Phillips went
to fadelia today and arrested Ras-
tus Miller, an eighteen year old boy
whose parents live there, on the charge
of petit larceny, preferred by George
Wilson, who lives at 3l5 Minnesota
street, charging him with petit lar
ceny, committed May y, in the theft
of razor from his house. Miller was
arraigned and pleaded not guilty and
his trial was set for May 10 at 9 a
IN. Failing to give a bond for 500
for his appearance, he was committed
to the county jail.
Miller stated to Mr.. Phillips that
two other boys did the stealing, and
that he took the razor and pawned
it for 25 cents. He said that a pound
of butter, five eggs and % cents in
money were stolen. e

that when the plan to get possession
of the original papers failed scandal
was begun in the papers to force Miss
Wood to come to terms. "Wynne,
first assistant postmaster general,
started the ball rolling by getting
New. York newspaper to print the arti-
Gle as 1t first appeared" says the
statement, which concludes:

litical standpoint. consulted Mr..

did Miller ever say anything to
you about the letters ?" asked the ex-
aiming attorney of Miss Wood, who
had been on the witness stand in her
own behalf since, early Monday.
PIatt Would Never Get Them.
N"Yes," she replied, che said that If
he got the letters the Platts would
never get them"
what was he going to do with
them?"
Hold them over Platt's head, be-
heve," she answered.
The statement purporting to have
been signed by Miller bears the date
of Oct. 10, 1903. 1t reads:
81 was asked by high government
officials in Washington and New York
to get possession of Senator Platt's
love letters to Mae C. Wood. In order
to do this, had to pretend l would
get out book for which she gave me
the manuscript on Oct. s. 1908. 1t was
agreed by all parties interested that
was to get her to New York and get
the papers out of her room.
''Mr. Loeb called up Plat in New
York and told him Miss Wood was
suing him for breach of promise. Then
scheme. failed to get possession of
any original documents or letters. We
then began the scandal in the newspa-
pers to force her to come to terms.
Wynne, first assistant postmaster gen.
eral, started the ball rolling by getting
a New York paper to print the article
as it first appeared.
81 established my headquarters in
the Tribune building, disseminating
such information as / could get from
the Office of the first assistant post
master general. Senator T. G. Plat
was fully informed of all matters by
me, and | was instructed to cooperate
with him, but the original papers were
not to be given to Plat, but to Mr..
Loeb at Washington.
81 was gotten into the conspiracy by
powerful officials whom l dare not to
displease from a newspaper or politi-
cal standpoint. l consulted Mr. Howe,
Senator Platt's secretary, frequently,
and acted at all times under the direc-
ton of Loeb and Platt."
In her testimony given earlier in the
day, Miss Wood, then under cross-ex-
animation, was led to tell of the cir
cumstaAces under which she signed,
in 1903, in this city, release of Sena-
tor Plat for any claims she may have
had against him. She testified that
she received from A. H. Hummel the
sum of $500 unon signing the state.

[. H. S WINS BY ONE POINT
And the Higgi@vile Men Protest. Says
ing they Won, 10 TO @.

Despite their opponents Intellectual
attempts to win the game by dubious
maehination the Lexington High
school football team was victorious
over the team representing the ed
cational Institution at H~igginsville
Friday by a score of 6 to s..
of course both sides have their
tales to tell, but the Lexington testi-
mony is believed here. The
contract made among DR.. Chalkley,
the official timekeeper, Mr.. Laidlaw,
a teacher at Higginsvine, Or. Payne,
Official referee and Capts. Becker and
Burglar, of the Lexington and Hig-
ginsville teams respectively, was
heard by some of the spectators and
was explicitly this: that the teams
would play two 20 minutes halves if
possible; but would in any case stop
at 1870 O'Clock to enable the Licking.
ton boys to catch the train. During
the first half both teams scored a
touchdown, and Lexington Kicked a
goal, giving that team an adj
vantage of one point. The s~quabbling
never ceased during the entire game,
some OF the Lexington men being
openly insulted, but the dramatic
climax, which is the cause of all the
controversy, came when time was
called, per agreement, with Higgins
vile holding the ball on Lexington's
25 yard line. According to the
stories of several who saw Or. Chalk
ley's watch, the hand pointed exactly
at 4:30 o'clock. When the referee
blew his whistle, announcing the end
of the game, the Lexington boys
started from the field. But Laidlaw
in his melodious, high keyed voice
waved his hat like one possessed and
yelled 'Play it out, you have three
quarters of d second yet" Accord
ingly one of the Higglnsville team
grabbed the ball from the referees
hands and opposed by no one made a
touchdown, exactly one minute after
time was called. Or. Fayne, acting
in his capacity as referee, gave the
game to Lexington b h e
score of 8 to 5. Then pandemonium
reigned. The unsophisticated mob
beloved out its %displeasure and sur
rounded DR.. Payne with Igorote
looks upon their faces. He escaped
with only a few scratches, however.
The final score was 8 to 5 in favor
of Lexington.
