ATTACKS THE INTEGRITY
OF THE NATIONAL GRANGE,
Charge of Attempt to Throttle Progress
sive Legislation.

Atlantic City. n. J.. Nov 16.-
Charges that the national grange,
Patrons of Husbandry,f is being run
by a clique of standpatters who are
attempting to throttle progressive leg
fsla ton and are discrediting, betrayiDg
and defeating strong constructive
leadership and using the funds of the
organization recklessly were made at
the first session of the powerful farm
ers organization here today
M S. Godfrey of Olean, n. Y. said
that George P. Hampton of New York
and ]. W. Helme of Adrian, Mich, the
recognized leaders of the insurgents in
the organization, had caused to be
printed articles attacking the integrity
of the grange and it's leaders. He pre-
sented resolution which incorporated
the charges and calico for the enlarge
rnent OF the committee on claims and
grievances to inclu6e every voting
member of the national grange to in
vestigata the attacks made by Helme
and Hampton and asked these two men
or any others who believed such
charges to be true to present them to-
gether with proofs in writing to the
convention.
The resolution also required these
proofs to be submitted on or before
Nov. 21.
Insurgents claim this move will keep
the present administration in power
because of the number of their follow
ers. This, they say, demonstrates that
a state with a membership of 70. 900,
as Pennsylvania has, should be given
representation in proportion. which
would allow the insurgents to take
control from the standpatters who,
the insurgents claim, are backed by
western states whose membership is
still in the hundreds but who are en-
titled to equal vote on the questions to
be discussed by the convention.

IMPROVEMENT OF BOSTON
TRANSPORTATION WAYS
Expenditure of About Fifteen Million
Dollars Involved.

Boston. Nov 16-The first step In
what promises to be the biggest pro-.
iect for the Improvement OF local
TRANSFORMATION facilities undertaken
for many years and involving the ex-
penditure of about $15,000,000 was
taken today by the Boston & Maine
and New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad companies. The two
companies addressed a petition TO the
legislature for authority to acquire
the Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn
railroad upon such terms as may be
approved by the Massachusetts board
of railroad commissioners. The COM
pany whose control is sought operates
a. narrow gauge line between East
Boston and Lynn with branch line In
Winthrop, the connection with Bos-
ton proper being made by ferry boats.
The petition further asks that au-
thority be given to widen the gauge
of the road to extend it on the north
to connect with the Portland division
of the Boston & Maine, and to make
a connection by tunnel between East
Boston and the South station in this
city, trains in this tunnel to be oper-
ated by electricity.
Timothy p. Byrnes vice president
of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford and the Boston & Maine roads,
said today that under the proposed
plan it will be possible to carry pas
sengers from New York to Bar Har-
bor through Boston, without transfer,
by the new route.

KILLING TREES.
Now Disease Which Attacks Chest
nuts-No Known Remedy.

The season of active employment in
the park department is drawing to a
close, says the Waterbury Republican
and the men are cleaning up the parks
preparatory to their practical deser-
ton during the winter sea SON. Supt
George G. Walker said that he had a
force of men in each of the city parks
going through the ground, cutting off
the deadwood on the trees and cutting
down all diseased and decayed trees.
Because of the spraying process most
of the trees are in excellent shape.
but in Chase park there have been dis
covered several chestnut trees which
have been attacked by new and
deadly parasite for which there is no
remedy known to forestry. The trees
alta cked by it are doomed and the
sooner they are cut down and burned
the better. for this is the only way
to check the spread of the parasite. 1t
has but recently made it's appearance
in this city, and in the city parks it
has made no progress. owing to the
vigilance of the park superintendent.
1t is different. however. through the
woods over toward Middlebury, where
many trees have been attacked and are
now dead or dying. The parasite
gindles the bark on the tree and when
the girdling is completed the tree
dies. The forestry stations are send
ing out warnings of this new disease
and are striving to find the best way
to fight it,
Superintendent Walker said that he
planted the flower beds in all the
parks, about 1900 bulbs being used
in the parks and on the green. There
are tulips, hyacinths and daffodis in
great variety.
The appearance Of the temporary
pumping station just on the edge Of
the park does not add TO the pleasure
;of the park superintendent or others
interested IN the appearance OF the
park.

COUNT DE BEAUFORT HAS
ADDED FINANCIAL TROUBLE.
Fourth Claim Since Open Rupture
With Rich Father in Law.

Chicago. Nov. 16.-F'inancial trou-
b1es were added today to the domestic
difficulties of Count John Won Mourilz
de Beaufort, when the National City
bank of Chicago filed suit against him
for S257 which he is said to have over
drawn. This is the fourth claim made
in the courts against De Beaufort since
his open rupture with M. FL. Killgal-
ton, his rich father-in-law a week
ago.
The banks suit was filed only short
time after a claim had been filed for
$3.50 In addition to these suits have
been filed by a book publishing con-
eern, which claims De Beaufort owed
for a number of volumes on etiquette,
and a second l1aberdasher, who asks
pay for a number of fancy waistcoatS
worn by the count.
De Beaufort avoided process servers
in the first of these actions until yes
terday, when a municipal court bailiff
who camped outside his door in a down
town hotel for five hours managed to
reach him.

| MORE CENSUS PADDING.
THREE ENUMERATORS JAILED.
How the Increases for Great Falls,
= MORT, Were Obtained.

Washington Nov. 16.-The popula-
ton of Great Falls, Mont, is 13,94s a
decrease of 9S2 compared with 1880
in 1900.
Director Durand in a statement said
that. the Great Falls returns as orig
inal1y received showed a total of 23324
or 1876 more than the correct count
The director attributes the attempted
padding to three out of twelve EMU
merators of the city, so per cent of
whose returns he said were fraudulent.
The three men were arraigned and two
of them sent to Jail for twenty-fou
hours each and fined $50 each, while
the third was in prison for forty y-eight
hours and fined 5000. He says that the
increases were obtained largely by TAX
ing the names of transient visitors to
the city which We're placed in the
hands of the enumerators by private
individuals.
The returns show a decrease from
the figures of 1900 amounting to 9s2.
but Mr.. Durand contends that as there
was fraud in the 1900 census there has
been an actual growth.
