MURPHY DEF|ES PROOF
OF ELECTION |MPUR|TY
Tammany Leader Cries That
Mitchell Is First Man to AC-
.Cuse Him Personally.
HE WRITES TO WHITMAN
Help Me to Clear Myself of This
Infamous Charge, He Says
in Substance - Is
Much Hurt.

Charles F. Murphy, leader OF Tammany
night in which he said he had written
letters to District Attorney Whitman
Of General Sessions. requesting that an
immediate and thorough investigation be
made of the charge which Mr. Murphy
said John Purroy Mitchell made in his
speech at the Murray Hill Lyceum
Thursday night that he Murphy had
planned to import an army Of repeat
ers" into this city
Mr.. Murphy said that the accusation
was made regularly against Tammany
Hall I'm every campaign, which he did
not seem TO mind. but that it was tho
first time that any man had accused him
personally OF that serious offence. The
statement was as follows:
I'm a speech last night Mr.. Mitchell Is
quoted as having said: I have informa
ton as to Mr. Murphy's plans. lie has
laid plans to import an army Of repeat
ers into this city and l ask you ard ali
supporters of the Fusion cause to watch
the polls on Election Day for fraudulent
voters
In reply. | wish TO deny that ! have
any plans TO import an army Of repeaterf
into the city. The charge Is false. ana
made by him without sincerity This ac-
cusation is regularly made against Tam
many Hall in every campaign, but this
is the first time that any man has ac-
cused me personally of that serious Of
fence
In 1895. when Mayor Mcclellan was
reelected by a small plurality, the cry
Of ballot box stufiing and importing re-
peaters was Immediately raised, but en-
trely disproved by the recount OF the
ballots in the Supreme Court The re-.
suit of that proceeding showed that the
election had been conducted honestly.
"In this connection The New YORK
World. which is now supporting M
Mitchell. published an editorial on NO

Action Is Taken at New York Under
Sherman Anti-T Trust Law.

New York, March 3.-Dissolution OF

civil antitrust suit filed Saturday,

with entering conspiracies and contracts
to destroy competition in violation OF
the Sherman law 10 is alleged to have
kept the prices OF corn products at I'M
reasonably low figures, to harass and
discourage independent manufacturers.
Controlling 60 per cent. of the entire
American production of starch and glu-
eose and so per cent of the interstate
trade in mixed sirups the alleged trust
is charged with fixing resale prices,
with manufacturing cheap grade candy
at unreasonably low prices in retaliation
against confectioners. who buy starch
and glucose from independents with
practically suppressing the private
brands of mixed sirups of grocers by
quoting low prices ON its own sirups, and
with unlawful threats and contracts to
destroy competition. Aside from disso
luton, the government asks for an in
junction prohibiting the alleged restraint
of trade.
The suit recalls the long drawn-out
fight between the department of agrieul-
lure and the corn refining products COM
pany, over the branding of its strip.

Nagel Says Operators Made
Public Pay Thrice for
Wage Increase
MAKES REPORT
TO CONGRESS
Raised Prices and Withdrew
Discounts in 1912,
1t Says

Washington, March 3.--A report SUBJ
mitted to the House Saturday by Sec.
rotary of Commerce and Labor Nagel
charges that the anthracite operators in
1912 squeezed more than 100000 out
of consumers without any exigency in
the industry warranting this increase.
The report finds that in 1912 the
operators were obliged TO increase wages
to an amount ranging from eight to
ten cents a ton, which footed up all
told to about 100000. The govern
ment experts find that the operators
made this wage increase the pretext
for advancing prices 3l.2S cents ton
and that they received sl3,450,000 over
their receipts of the previous year.
The report was made in compliance
with resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Diffenderfer of Pennsylvania,
who charged that the so-called coal trust
had exacted excessive prices for their
product, using as an excuse the fact
that they had been compelled to in
crease the wages OF their employees.
Secretary Nagel holds out no hope to
the consumer. He is of the opinion that
the coal prices of 1912 will be maintained
throughout the winter. He points out
that the coal operators control the ave-
nues of transportation, or at least there
is a common control of the mines and
the railroads transporting the product.
The report shows that the increase in
prices, as measured by the
net receipts from sales of anthracite
coal by the operators since the agree
ment OF March 20, 1912, amounted to
an average of approximately 20 cents a
ton, if the prices in June and September,
1911, are compared with tie prices real |
lied in the same months of 1912. On |
this basis of comparison the average |
increase in the price of sizes OF coal
prepared for domestic consumption /
amounted to 1923 cents ton, and the
average increase on pea coal and the
smaller steam sizes amounted to 1914
'ents a ton.
The report finds that the coal COM
,anies reaped double profit through
the customary discounts OF
fifty and forty cents ton respectively
IN domestic sizes in April and May OF
9l2.

Compressed Air Tank Explosions.

Happily it is not often that we have
to chronicle the explosion OF an air tank,
and to use an old adage, it is probably
in measure due rather to good luck
than good management; but the dis
astrous accident which recently occurred
at the granite plant of Reed j. Vendret,
Quincy, Mass, suggests comment. BY
this explosion one of the proprietors and
his brother in-law \. u. Reed and
Mitchell Lavoie lost their lives, and
Mr. Nendret suffered severe shock and
other minor injuries. The plant had
been closed down on New Years day
which gave an opportunity TO repair
leaks that had been developing in the
air tank. This being done and the tank
connections made good, the air pump
was started and compressed air forced
into the tank with the view of making =
precautionary test. The three men
stood around the tank, tools in hand,
watching the accommodating pressure,
until 70 pounds was registered, when
without warning the explosion came like
a flash, throwing all three to the ground.
with the above results. The explosion of
an air tank is comparatively a rare oe-
currence and has never been attended
with the destructive circumstances of
steam explosions, due to the different
of the two elements; but
as this accident amply demonstrates,
air explosions may be at
tended with very serious results, and
most certainly much more attention
should be given to the care and main-
tenance of the compressed air tank than
IS commonly the case.-From the Nom
umental News.
