charges Of mismanagement and faIsl-
ficatlon of accounts made today
against Robert B. Armstrong. former
president of the Consolidated Cas-
ualty company. by John +. Roche, the
actuary, at Charleston. w Va. Mr.
Armstrong tonight issued the following
statement:
THE report of Mr. Roche reflects
the hostility which the company has
encountered from Its inception. For
practically two years there had been
apparently an organized effort To as
sassinate the company These guerll-
la methods of the competitors Of the
company We're encountered on every
side and enormously increased the ex-
pense Of organization. | have been

Consolidated had i'm continuing In

The warfare of the combined in
tcrcsts on the Consolidated prevented

Of states where II had spent money
and time to secure stockholders and

equipped to do business along "A num-
Der of lines which the opposition to
the company prevented.

time during the last two years. the or
ganlzation had been abandoned and
lqudated, the stockholders would
have lost heavily. As it is they have
an opportunity ultimately to realize
their original investments and earn
dividends on the amounts paid in.
Temptation has been very strong

The statement Of Mr.. Roche Is un-
true and misleading in many partic-

records, | should say the item of in

impression Is given that the assets
of the company have been dissipa ted
until only $19l 900 remained. This Is
practically untrue. The latter figure
Is arrived at by scaling down values
and throwing out of consideration

Los ANGELES TO RUSH
SUSPECTED RESIDENTS
Agitators and Other Undesir-
ables to Be Run Out by,
vigiIantes.

Los ANGELES, December 27.-The
prospect Of a vigilance committee shows
the feeling Of Los Angeles people regard
ing the latest dynamting outrage against
non-union industrial concerns.
The explosion at the LleWellyn iron
works early Christmas morning set off
more than the dynamite that wrecked the
building. In the afternoon Secretary
Zeehandalaar Of the Merchants and Man.
ufacturers' Association and Fred Baker,
president Of tho Baker iron works, who
Is one Of the biggest open-shop advocates
! OF Los Angeles, met and decided that a
vigilance committee composed OF bust
ness men should be organized to rid Los
Angeles Of undesirable citizens. A meet
ing has been called for today for the Or
gani1ation Of this committee
Expulsion of "Undesirables."
1t is intended to avoid actual fighting
! said Mr.. Baker, but the undesirables will
be notified that they will find it best to
leave the city. Other agitators who are
headed for this city will be met at the
railroad station and warned not to stop
here.
This means that the business men will
try to drive out the labor union element
from the city. There is no question that
the example set some years ago in Colo
! iado, as a result of dynamiting and SIM
mar outrages, will be followed here. This
is openly advocated by the leaders in the
open-shOp movement.
Police Captain l>enhausen has advo-
Gated similar organization Of citizens.
What we Should have here he said,
'is a. committee of business men to CO.
operate with the police and drive these
dynamiters and their supporters out Of
town. This committee should aid the
police in running down the perpetrators
of the dynamitings that have occurred
that are planned
One of Series of Crimes.
Earl Rogers, attorney. who is conduct
ing the grand jury investigation into the
Times disaster of October I. when "A
score of men were killed. said yesterday:
There is no question that the Lie
wellyn dynamiting WAS but one Of a
series Of similar crimes that are planned
by the labor union leaders. More will
follow within a short time unless drastic
I measures are taken. 1t behooves the
| law-abiding citizens Of Los Angeles to
| take steps to prevent any further such
outrages"
The grand jury is still investigating
! the Times dynamiting. Upward Of three
! hundred witnesses have been examined,
| but what has been developed Is kept
secret 1t is not known whether the three
| men charged with the crime by the po-
! cisco or not. All that is known is that
detectives are still at work on the case
| and that the grand jury is still actively
| engaged in its investigation.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, December 81
Rising in a Wright biplane to q height of

miles, and 97o feet higher than NJ. G..
LegagneuX, who made a worlds record
in France by rising 1O499 feet, Arch

champion of the world in altitude flight.
This il the second time worlds alti-

Louis Paulhan electrified the world by
rising here to a height of 4,164 feet,
which is now considered hardly any alti-

Mr.. Hoxsey is ambitious to set a mark

better his own record. Yesterdays rec

Mr.. Hoxsey continued on his way and
was soon lost to sight in the clouds. The
minutes went by and passed into hours,
when the cry went up that Mr. Hoxsey

body was on tiptoe and straining his eyes
to catch sight Of the dark speck in the

he could hardly feel the steering wheel.

When the American Association 1oi
the Advancement Of Science, during lts
annual meeting which opens in St Pau'
today, takes stock OF the achievements
in the realm Of science for the last
twelve months. it will have no occasion
to feel chagrined At the share which
America has contributed to the world

astronomy, in medicine, in metaphysics,
in engineering and, in fact. in all the
associated and correlated branches OF
science the American has been donli-

The year 1910 will not go down in his

but there has been a steady, healthy
and a unitarian growth along almost
all scientific lines.
The branch Of science which has at
