for Stock

Chicago, July 26.-William d. Miles, for
mer general manager for the Armour
Packing company at Kansas City, NO..
and one of the chief witnesses for the
government in the recent packers trial.
charges that he has been defrauded out
of $16s.SiS.74 in a bill for an accounting
filed today in the circuit court against
j. Ogden Armour. Charles W. Armour
and the Armour Packing company
Miles declares that as an inducement
to take the position of general manager
at Kansas City February, 1894, he was
promised an interest in the business and
later received 1000 shares OF stock in the
company.
In February, 1902, the bill states, j.
Ogden Armour offered the shares of stock
to Miles at $170.S2 a share and agreed to
carry the stock at the rate of per cent
a year on the purchase price of $40. 80.
Under contract signed by Miles when
the sale of the stock to him was me-
gotiated, the Armours had the right to
terminate the agreement ar any time by
paying Miles the amount due.
On December II. 1908, Miles claims he
was notified by j. Ogden Armour that
he had decided to terminate the contract
and pay him what was due Two days
later, Miles signed a release OF his rights
and received s40S4S.74, in final settlement
which was on basis of s21l go per share
according to the allegations in the COM
plant
In this bill Miles alleges hat the stock
on August /, 1902 was worth 1866 a share
and that the actual amount due him un-
der the contract was $2O9, $40. p.
Miles asks that the receipt and re-
lease be nullfied and that the defend
ants be compelled to account to him for
what he claims is really due him.

Ten White Men Arrested
Last Night by Two
City Detectives

City Detectives Garner and Christian
last night raided an alleged gambling
den in the old Peerless saloon building
at the corner of Second avenue and
Nineteenth street. confiscated large
amount of gambling paraphernalia and
arrested 10 white men whom they
charged with being engaged in game
of craps. The men were lodged in the
city jail and the alleged gambling den
closed.
During the past month almost
dozen gambling houses have been
closed by the police. Captain Eagan
said last night 1T may be the gen.
eral impression among the public that
the police are not doing all they are
able to do in the matter of closing
up these gambling places, but in or
der to get the upper hand on these
people we must go slowly. Unless we
can catch them red-handed any ar
rests will be useless. Time and again
we have raided places that we have
suspected of being gambling houses
only to find that every bit of their par
aphernalia had disappeared and we
had no case against them. My men

AGAINST HELM
Hellwig States Matter Will
Not Be DrOpped-Heflin
Is Not Worried

That formal charges had been filed
against Solicitor II. p. Helm and were
now in the hands of the governor was
the statement made last night by A.
C. He,lwig, the Pinkerton detective who
worked on the Coleman-S Strickland
poisoning cases. The charges were in
the form of letter to the governor.
he said, and 1t is understood, charge
the solicitor with neglect of duty In
the trial of Ida Schmidt and asks that
an investigation be made of his at
titude in that trial. Accompanying the
charges was the affidavits signed by
Hellwig and Mrs. Sallie Wheeler
As will be remembered Solicitor
Heflin at the conclusion of the evil
dence introduced by Mr.. Hellwlg and
other witnesses for the state in the
Schmidt case. addressed the court and
stated that he was not impressed with
the evidence of the states witnesses.
IT was this statement that caused
the charges to be brought against him.
as Hellwig considers 1t was a charge
that the evidence was manufactured
Yes. we have forwarded the charges
to Governor O'Neal." said the detective
last night. "They were mailed this aft
ernoon and should be in the hands of
the governor by Saturday morning.
I'm my experience as a detective !
have never known of solicitor throw
ing down a case as was done by Mr.
Heflin. So far as working for a re-
ward is concerned, l desire to say that
[ have never worked for a reward,
nor would / under any circumstances
do so. I and my associates were en-
ployed for a stated sum to perform
certain duties and with that my COM
pensation ceased. l believe we had a
good case and believe so yet; we are
not through with it by any means, but
intend to bring 1t before the grand Jury
as soon as court convenes.
ST have no criticism to make of Judge
Benners; my grievance is with the So
licftor. We had "A conference with Mr..
Heflin before we went into the trial
of the case and he stated that we had
good testimony. The statement that
John Goldfono was a detective is a
fabrication pure and simple. He is not
and has never been in my employ, nor,
so far as / know, in the employ of
any other agency"
When seen last night Mr.. Heflin
stated that he had no statement to
make at this time other than to say he
was not in the least disturbed by the
charges, declaring them to be as "ratty'
and far fetched as the testimony in
troduced by Hellwig and his associates
at the recent trial"

gether with all its contents, be-
longing TO Charlie Knouse, who was
living in il. No insurance was
carried en- either the bui- ding or
the furniture The loss is un-
known, but is estimated at about
$500.
The alarm was turned in about
; O'Clock and the fire department
responded promptly, hut when
they arrived the building was a
seething mass Of flames and there
was nothing to save. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but either
defective flue or an overheated
stove was the cause. Ms. Knouss
was asleep, and was awakened by
the noise of some,h hing falling in
the kitchen. When she opened
the kitchen door the interior was
all in flames and spread so rapidly
that only a sewing machine cou d
be removed from the building. With
the exception of a trunkful of
canned goods, which MIR. Knouse
had that day taken to rheir new
home near Letha, to which they
expected to move the following day,
all their furniture al clio h ng were
destroyed, despite the heroic ef-
forts of Charlie Wi liams and other
leighbors who responded promptly
to the alarm. Mr.. and Mrs. ,
Knouse had started married life
but a short time ago, and their
loss is a severe one.
