MONEY IS ASTRAY
Nearly $1,000 of Lawrence
Strike Fund Is Gone.
Believed That Money Was
Used in Graft.

Boston, May 12.-No satisfactory
explanation of the disposition of $10,-
500, out of a total of more than $6s,-
900 subscribed for the benefit of The
striking operatives and their families
during the textile strike at Lawrence
year ago has been made, according
to the finding today of Winfield S. Slo-
cum, who as master, investigated the
strike expenditures.
SIocum filed his report with the su-
preme court today. Joseph Bedard.
secretary of the committee to solicit
funds for the strikers, deposited $10,80O
in his own name in the Lawrence Trust
company and later drew checks for $2,-
500, to Vincent St. John of Chicago,
secretary of the Industrial Workers of
the World; $4,000 to Thomas Powers. a
textile worker of Providence, and $500
to Desire Steure of Lawrence. Slocum
finds that these disbursements were not
returned to the strikers fund. Neither
Joseph J. Ettor nor William D. Hay
wood, leaders of the Industrial Work
ers, received any part of the fund.
Proceedings against Bedard and 9TH
er members of the strike fund commit
tee were at the instigation of three
Boston contributors who complained
that the money had been improperly
used for personal ends.
An expert accountant fOund tnaI
81 800 had been spent in sending chill
dren of strikers from Lawrence to New
York, Philadelphia and other cities,
81, 1863 for agitation and SLIP for law.
About $10.SO0 was paid to Joseph Sha--
heen treasurer of the strike committee,
SIS, 900 to --ngelo Rocco and $1,000 to
August De Tolleneare, all of whom had
direction of relief work. The accounts
of Shaheen fail to show the expendi-
ture of $500 and in Roccos accounts
there is an item for 1925, for which no
voucher could be found.

WOULD RAISE RATES,
Request of So Eastern Railroads to Be
Considered.

Washington, May 12-Announcement
was made recently by President Will
lard of the Baltimore & Ohio that ap-
plicatiOn would be made to the COM
mission by the So eastern roads for
permission to increase their freight
rates per cent. The precise form of
the applica ton has not been determin-
ed. This probably will be settled We'd
nesday.
If it should be found that there is
prima facie reason for consideration of
the application, it is likely an order for
an inquiry may be issued. That method
would have the railroads issuing new
tariffs which would cost nearly a quar-
ter of a million dollars. OF course if
such tariff were filed, they would be
suspended by the commission pending
an investigation of the reasonableness
of the proposed advances, but it is not
regarded as necessary in this instance
to file tariffs in order to get the ques-
ton before the commission.

Service Corporations.

Everett, Wash, May 12.-Mrs.
Maud johnson, who was convicted in
Vancouver of defrauding the Northern
Pacific railroad through a fake dam
age claim, and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary and released on parole, only
to have the parole revoked because
she disappeared, was arrested last
night. Mrs. Johnson'S arrest resulted
from an anonymous letter sent to the
warden of the penitentiary at Walla
Walla.
Mrs. johnson, who is wanted in sew
eral states on charges similar to the
one on which she was convicted, was
released on parole to Mrs. r. c. Nc
Redie president of the State Fedora
ton of Women's clubs. The paroled
woman left Mrs. McRedie's home last
summer and disappeared. When
brought here Mrs Johnson admitted
that she had a long carer in Swind-
ling public service corporations
through fake damage claims. She
told the officers that she had figured
in nineteen damage claims, the first
of which was legitimate, during the
last ten years, her operations extend
ing from Missouri to the Pacific coast
and netting herself and accomplices
between $40, 900 and 100000, of which
she received a quarter.
She said the headquarters of the
band to which she belong and in
which there were four women and five
men was at Springfield, Mo. She also
asserted many railroad claim agents
and surgeons profited by the opera
tions of the swindlers, but would not
give the names of any accompliceS.
Mrs. johnson said she was anxious to
serve the remainder of her sentence.
