tials and those who voted aye were P.
G. Ellis, John Turner, ]. E. Locke, Jno.
Waters and Lloyd Armstrong. Those
who voted no were Barney Haughey,
Robert McNicholas, F. A. Rodecker, R.
l.. Alexander and Thomas Hamor. As
the vote was tie it was up TO the
chairman K. E. Gaines to decide it and
he voted in the affirmative and de-
ciared the report adopted.
When the meeting was thus declar-
ed to be legal Barney Haughey made
a motion that no action be taken on
Mr.. Ellis's resolution until the COM
pany's books wereexamined and the
exact amount of property which it
was intended to assign to Mrs. ARM
strong was ascertained.
The objection was raised that it
would cost too much to examine the
books, and Haughey offered to do it
for nothing, but, the vote that was
taken on his proposition showed the
same five against it, and Chairman
Gaines declared the proposition re-
iected.
A motion was then made to adopt
the resolution conveying all of the
company's real and personal property
to Mrs. Armstrong, but after good
deal of very warm discussion the
resolution was changed so that as
finally adopted it only authorized the
directors to convey to her the COM
pany's real property.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-William j.
Burns, who ran down the McNamaras
and who is at work now assisting the
United States government to collect
evidence against officials of the Am
erican Federation Of Labor came here
today from Philadelphia. At his Of
flee the detective made direct charg-
es against Samuel Gompers, president
of the federation, and against other
labor leaders, who must have been
aware like Gompers, Burns says, Of
the dynamiting campaigns Of the Nc
Namaras ever since 1905.
Mr.. Burns was not willing, of
course, to disclose evidence against
Federation of Labor officials now in
possession of the government, but he
said that the governments investi-
cation of dynamiting outrages which
will be carried on simultaneously in
many cities, including New York, Phi
ladelphia, indianapolis and Los Angel
es, will result in the arrest of many
big labor leaders. The McNamaras,
said Burns, were only tools, supplied
with cash by the labor bosses to ter
rorize open shop employers. 1t is i'm
possible to tell yet, said Mr.. Burns,
how many arrests will result from the
government investigation.
Talking about Gompers, Burns hit
from the shoulder, making the most
serious charges against him. Burns
says when he arrested James B. Nc
Namara in Detroit and was taking
him to Chicago Mcnamara offered
him 100000 il he would let him 60
saying all he wanted was two hours

Waldron, who disappeared Monday
while serving as member of the jury
that is trying DR.. b. Clark Hyde, has
not been found. Two deputy marshais
stood guard all night over the Wald-
ron home in the outskirts of the city.
1t wasthought he might attempt to
enter he house surreptiously after
darkness. Mrs. Waldron and her five
children stayed up until late hour
hoping that be might come to them. a
bright light was kept burning in one
of the front rooms of the house as 3,
welcome signal to the flee,ng man but
it did not attract him. Several po-
licemen are detailed to watch for
Waldron along the Missouri river
bank. The hotel from which he dis
appeared is near the river. Many be-
lieve he will commit suicide if he has
not done so already. He is known to
be on the verge Of nervous prostra-
tion if not already sotally deranged
The eleven remaining jurors anxious
ly await news from the missing mar.
Judge Porterfield says Waldron
must appear by tonight or the jury
will be discharged If he returns
and is competent to serve the trial
will proceed. All the jurors are anx-
ious to spend Christmas with their
families.
Their only chance in doing so lies
in Waldron's failure to come back to-
day. Should Waldron return or be
located no punishment would be in
flicted upon him until the trial Is
disposed of. Even if the extreme pen
atty for his misdemeanor is assessed
he would be subject to but fine Of

NEW YORK, Sept. 1L-After opening on
a considerably higher level, stocks feI to
the lowest point OF the year and then re-
covered. Net changes were slight IN most
cases and the final rally was SO spirited
that many OF the active issues closed with
small gains, running up to a point in Read
ing and Southern Pacific.
Opening gains, ranging from to 3
points, were due to the earlier rise of
prices in the London market Traders took
advantage Of the rise to sell stocks The
selling mad the appearance OF being re-
newaI OF liquidation such as was the chief
depressing FACTOR Tor several weeks.
London, following the advances in
Americans there, bought moderately at the
opening but as the market broke, faced
about and sold. There was also holding
by Berlin, chiefly OF Atchison, Union Pa
clfic and Canadian Pacific. Total sales for
foreign account were estimated at more
than 5000 shares. Home news included
dispatches from the west, indicating
brighter prospects. Pressure against
United States steel was coincldent
with reports that operations at the
corporations mills are now on a
smaller scale than at any time during
August. A cut in the dividend of Texas
oil from 10 TO per cent occasoned no
surprise even in speculative circles. The
prevailing quotations for the stock which
is lightly held long ago discounted the
change IN rate.

paying $50 for &C. Then he made the ac-
quaintance OF several young persons at the
island. and told them all about the money
he had saved.
one young man he met cultivated his
friendship more than the rest, and accord
ing to Astone, one night, took him into his
confidence. According to Astones story.
no said:
IL have a millionaire friend that lives at
the Hotel Woodstock in New York. aud
he is crazy about playing poker. lie can't
play poker at all. and simply loves to lose
because he likes the game. Now, I'll tell
you what I'll do. You take some OF my
money and go over there and play with
him. and Ill pay you IS per cent of all
you win. You just can't thelp winning. I
would play with him myself. but the last
time he and | played we had row, so
don't want to go near him for while"
Astone spurned the offer to take his new
friends money but said he would draw
% per cent Of his winnings.
So, according to Astone last Thursday
night he drew out 81 500 from his bank and
went to a hotel in West Forty-third street.
There he says he met the millionaire" and
several other young fellows, who were sit
ting in the room smoking and drinking.
The game started at once, and Astone said
he rapidly lost his $3.50.
''Wpil. that igp't Tho f,,nnto-. .t....-
that has happened to me in years" Astone
told the police the millionaire" said. That
is the first time l have won any money for
year. Now, don't want the money, for
have millions of my own, but | do hate
to give back what l have won. Here take
some of your money back and see IL you
can win 1t all back"
Astone said he was so overioyed at the
prospect Of getting another whack at the
millionaire" that he assured him he would
be back again and perhaps then he would
win it all back"
Astone told the police that he could
hardly sleep Thursday night for thinking
OF what he was going to do to the mil
lionaire" the next night
Friday night saw Astone, with $500 in his
hands, again at the "millonaires" door.
so he told the police, and again by a most
unheard of, remarkable coincidence the
millionaire won again. Astone took his
diamond ring off, and lost that, and was
then ushered to the door and told to come
back when have struck losing streak"
Astone got the police, and the police ar
rested a well-dressed man calling himself
w. s. Smith, IS years old, a clerk, living
at the Hotel Woodstock, and locked him up
on charge Of grand larceny.
