MORE EVIDENCE AGAINST TAMMANY
Hennesey Secured Corroboratin0 Ev- idence From George Mcclure
 About Tammany Graft.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-The charg- es made by John Hennesey that the Tammany leaders had grafted from the contractors doing work for the state were corroborated today when George Mcclure, a contractor, said that he had heard that forty con- tractors had been forced to contri- bute to the campaign chest of the Tiger under penalty of being harass- ed by the politicals, their vouchers held up, the inspectors refusing to pass the work and many other things would be found wrong with the work done by non-subscribing contractors.
 Hennesey says taht he will bring the Tammany grafters to justice and that many of them will soon be serv- ing time at Sing Sing.
Valdez daily prospector., 1913-11-20

When interviewed by a representa- tive of the Prospector, Ed. Wood, the freighter and draying man, stated that the Wood referred to was not himself as he had not even offered the government bid on the carry ing of the mail from Valdez to the interior It was also stated that W. E. Wood, of Chitina. the deputy mar shol at that place, had made a ibd but the Prospector has been unable to verify the rumor, nor could any other person in Valdez be found who had made a bid for this service.
 where else but Fairbanks it might have been supposed that the success full bidder was R. c. Wood, president of the First National Bank
 It is known that he is not in the camp of the present contractors. the N. c. Company, and he may have bid either for himself, some individual at Fairbanks or for the White Pass & Yukon R. R., who have for some time had an eye on all the transportation business centering at Fairbanks.
 It seems very likely, however no matter who gets the contract that the mail will go via Valdez. It IS a we'll known fact that the Copper Riv- CT X Northwestern R. E. have found the mail contract to be white ele- phant on their hands and as soon as their present contract with the N C. Co. expires that they will have no more of it.
 The D. Q. Department, in asking for bids gave Valdez the preference of routes but named the Cordova as an alternate. The bond required viz $1300OO made is impossible for any but g wealthy corporation or rich capitalist to compe te. hence the lack of bids from this place.
 The Prospector has endeavored to get more information on this matter which is of so much interest to Val dez and will keep the public inform ed of developments.

MANY STRIKE IN
 ST. PETERSBURG
Cossacks and Finianders Are Used to Overawe the Strikers Who Are
 Held Prisoners.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20.-Six- ty thousand factory employees in this city have gone on strike because the police arrested several workmen wh had quit the factories because of ill treatment.
 The strike was unexepected and even the police spies were surprised and the number of Cossacks in the garrisons of St. Peter and St. Paul were not strong enough to handle the situation and troops are being rush. ed in to overawe the strikers. Fol lowing the usual policy of the War department, Finlanders and Cossacks are used in St. Petersburg because the Finlanders and Cossacks hate the Russians and when trouble is exper- fenced in Finland the policy is rever- sed.
 As fast as the troop trains arrive they are sent to places of vintage about the city and large forces are concentrated in the residence dis trict of those who have struck and the strikers are virtually prisoners, a cordon surrounding the section, pre- venting them from leaving or others from joining them
