Reports as to the Methods of the
Trust in the Liggett & Myers
Tobacco Factory.
It la reported on good authority that with
in the last two weeks employe of the Lig
gett & Myers tobacco factory, one of the
largest belonging to the. Tobacco Trust,
have by a few hints and many pointed
statements, been given to understand that
their chances of remaining at work during
the coming winter depend largely upon the
election of ilcKlnley.
In th6 lasiJtMv daj-3 several of tho voting
employes of the concern have been cut down
to half time and they have been given to
understand that In case "Bryan Is elected
their services vlll no longer bo needed,
thereby conveying the Idea that the election
of Bryan would be followed by tho closing
of the tobacco works, and that by voting
for McKlnley la order to aid him In de
feating Bryan lay their chance of pros
perity, and that this action was expected
of them regardless of their party affili
ations. Incident showing how this covert in-
mldatlon la Influencing employes of the
trusts Is told by Eugeno Normandy of No.
406$ Fairfax avenue. Mr, Normandy Is an
agent for a sewing machine company and
In making Ms rounds as a city salesman Is
dully thrown In contact with worklngmen
and their wives.
In the last week Mr. Normandy placed a
machine on trial In the home of an em
ploye of the Liggett & Myers Company
with the understandlnt; that If ratlsfnctor
It would be bought from him and paid for
In Installments. Calling for an answer yes
terday, Normandy was told by the wife
that a decisive answer could not bo given
until after the presidential election. Upon
pressing his Inquiries, he learned that the
husband a week aso had been cut down to
three working days a week and given to
understand that his only chanco of a re
turn to steady work lay In the election of
McKlnley and that If Bryan nas elected
thero -vould be still another reduction and
perhaps his employment would cease alto
gether. Therefore tho wife could not guar
antee payments on the machine. In tho
home of another employe of the same con
cern, where he had placed a machine, Nor
mandy was met with almost tho same re
ply. It was stated y these people that It
was well understood by tho employes of
the concern what was expected of them by
the management.

C. A. Kolbeck. of Wealthy Penn-

Parted From Wife.
WORKED IN STEEL FOUNDRY.
Talked Much of Sulfide, but tin-
Coroner Returned Vi-rdiet, if
Accident Hotly .May He
Sent K.-IM for P.urial.
C A. Kolbeck, scion of a wealthy I'enn
syhanla family, died at Granite City. III.,
jestcrdav beneath tho -wheel of a drag pas
senger train. Whether he lnlted such an
end or wns killed accidentally Is a mntter
of conjecture.
He was run down on a side track near
the wire mills at 7 a. m. and mangled al
most beyond recognition. Letters found in
his pockets revealed that he and his wife
had parted.
Ill" father, II. Kolbeck. Is a prominent
lumber merchant living at Lebanon, Pa. He
has been notified, and It Is- thought that ths
body -will be ordered Kast for burial.
Kolbeck, Jr.. was nppa.rcr.tly nbout TB
years old. He arrived In Granite City four
days ago. and registered at LaufTs Hotel.
Attention was drawn to the stranger by his
downcast nnd gloomy manner. He was well
dreshed. and seemed to have plenty of
money, but he announced an Intention to
go to work In the steel foundry.
Kolbeck applied at the American sfC-cl
foundry, and was told that hard labor
would bo his only chance Just then. Ho re
plied that he was not above earning an
honest lltlng. and was thereupon given a
Job as helper in the blacksmith department.
The stranger lled a. sort of dual life. He
wa "Roily" at the forge, and Mr. Kolbeck
at the hotel, where ho always deported
himself as a man of means. He talked much
of suicide.
Yesterday morning ho breakfasted earlier
than usual, and hurried away from the ho
tel, though It was fully half an hour before
his time to go to work.
On the street he met Harry Chrlstman. an
acquaintance, and tho two strolled toward
tho railroad tracks. Arriving there they
parted company. Chrlstman walked south
to the Terminal depot, whlls Kolbeck pro
ceeded north, crossing the main tracks to
a siding.
Ten minutes later an excited erglneer
rushed Into ths depot with the report that
a man had been killed. Chrlstman followed
the crowd, and several hundred yards up
the siding ho found Kolbeck's bodv crounJ
to pieces under the eleventh coach of a
train of eighteen cars. Forty-two wheels
naa passed over the corpse.
News of the tragedy spread to Venice and
two rival undertaking concerns forwarded
dead wagoas with the promptness of patrol
service after a riot calL They arrived hours
before Coroner Bailey could be summoned
from Alton. After viewing tho body tho
Coroner Issued instructions for its removal
to tha city JalL A verdict of accidental
death waa returned.

HIS HEARJJSJiREAKING.
llobson Says Admiral Sampson Is
Dying Because of Criticism.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. El During his present
visit to his home In Alabama nnd
wherever he has cpjored betoro tho pub
lic. Richmond P. lltbton has been quoted
assajing that Admlril SampBOn is dying of
a broken ti-art. ofting to the Sanipioii
bchicy controversy, which followed th
naval engastmetit ut Santiago, lie is
quoted as follows.
When Inst Saturday. October 13, I saw
in the papers that Admiral Sampson was
111. I took the next train to Itoston und J
spent s-unilay with Mm. iils ncaun is ut
ciiniiu;. His pujciclciis arc I allied at, his
nialaoy. His organs are all right, but his
health doc-n't impro.-e. ,
"We touched cm oce or two subjects. For
a little wlillo lie cjuld not tjjtak. Soon
he had to be carried to his room, and I
did not fci" iiim agum. Mrs. Sampson told
me that this great man was brooding, was
breaking his heart a: the thought that tils
fellow-countrymen were so unkind.
"I said to Mrs. Sampson.
"'When I ltlt m Southland, If thn op
portunity offers itself, I wlh to till them
bomcthing of this majestic character'
"She replied: 'Vou dare not. Your South
land was quick and lgorous to resent
what wb thought to b3 an attempt to take
away the laurels of one of its great men.'
"I cam" by Washington and raw the Sec
retary of the Navy and the President. To
them I also stated my Intention and they
both gave me tlitlr consent, warning mo,
roweier, of whit I rilshl expect."
Air. Hobson. in hla sueech at a nubile re
ception here to-day. said Admiral Sim;ton
had not received simple justice at tho hands
of the American people. He said:
"It has Ikvii souaht to place him In a j
despicable ltaht before the wo'ld. To make j
him an incompetent, narrow -minded man
and Jealous of tho fame of his contempo- I
rnrles, particularly 01 ono u.usirious navai
hlef. As his Junior oMcer. serving umler
him, I express Ihe deliberate opinion that
Admiral Sampson is the colossetl figure of
the Spanish-American War the genius of
the naval lictory of Santiago.
"Ho la unmatched to-day as the directing
mind of a war squadron en tho seas."

FELL 100 FEET, BUT
ESCAPED INJURY.
Earth Gave Way Under John
I.iclier and lie Plunged to the
Bottom of Lohrum's Quarry.
John Richer, a laborer, fell headlong to
the bottom of Lohrum's Quarry, a distance
of 1W feet, yesterday afternoon, and, osldi
from slight contusions of the body, wras un
injured. Richer lives Just south of Caron
dclct, near the quarry, and his fall was
the result of tho caving In of an overhang
ing ledge, upon which ho was standing.
watching the quarrymen at work. That 1
Richer Is allvo and apparently but slightly
Injured Is considered miraculous by Doctor
Nlctert, Superintendent of the City Hos
pital. Hither Is not at all exercised over
his perilous experience, and unhesitatingly
discusses It with the attendants and ph) si
clans In his ward.
Richer Is K years old and until recently
was employed 83 a farmhand in St. Louis
County. Ho was returning to his home
after a vain endeavor to find employment
yesterday when he observed several men
at work in the quarry. Tho quarry Is an
exceptionally deep one. and Is bordered on
tho top by overhanging lodges of rock and
earth which extei.d. peninsular like, at Ir
regular Intervals, for a distance of many
feet owr the abyss. On ono of these frail
ledges Richer waa standing, watching tho
quarrymen ut work lirt feet below. Sud
denly he felt the earth sinking beneath
him and before he could rcalizo his pro
carious position he was precipitated to tha
bottom. The crash or falling rock and clay
attracted Uio attention of the quarrwnen
and they Immediately rushed to Blcher's
assistance, lllehei- i .. ,. ,

or the body could bo properly nttended.

Richer could not account for his miraculous

THINKS THE DANCE
DAMAGED HIM SI.200.
Johannes Schnmnrhcr Says His
Paintings Suffered at the
Exposition Hop.
Johannes Schumacher of thr Johanne
Schumacher Art Companv. who had a large
exhibit In thu art rooms at the Exposition,
wants $1,200 from the St. Louis Exposition
and Music Hall Association In lieu of al
leged damages to his picture, caused by a
danco held In tho art rooms at the Exposi
tion last Saturday night.
The dancers, he claims, raised a dust
which lodged in the gold-leaf frames of his
pictures, thereby- Injuring them, and ons of
the merrymakers runctured a painting, ren
dering it worthless In its owner's estima
tion. Schumacher has put his ligure at JL2uO.
but ha thinks that no sum of money could
fully repay- him for what he calls tho "In
sult to art."
"A dance! A vulgar dance!" he exclaimed
to a reporter last night: "to have a danc
In tha same room with all my beautiful
paintings! The idea Ls horrible! Why,
those pictures represent HOOuO. but that
doesn't count so much. I am an artist.
Art Is my goddess. I worship humbly at
her footstool, and here a lot of people dance'
In front of my pictures. Could anything
bi '.orse?"
The exhibitors In the Exposition planned
last week to give a danco to their employes
at the various displays and they applied
to W. J. Atkinson, the manager of tho Ex
position, for permisj-lon to use the two west
art rooms In w hlch were Schumacher's pic
tures. It was granted.
On Saturday Schumacher got wind of the
scheme, and he went forthwith to Mr. At
kinson and registered a "kick." Mr. At
kinson was not so sensitive on the sub
ject of art. and said that he could see no
harm that could come to tho pictures by
the dance. The dance was held, and noth
ing more was heard about the matter un
til yesterday.
Then Mr. Schumacher yesterday sent a
letter to Mr. Atklnsrj. This was on the
order of the previous interview, only that
It contained tho assertion that the writer
wanted J1.20O actual damages. No mention
was made of an Intention to bring suit
for tho money, and Schumacher said last
night thai he did not think he would take
it into court. "The letter." he stated. "wa
not based on a desire for money. I Jut
wanted to Ehow a man. who would allow a
dance In an art gallery, what I thought
of it."
The picture with the hole in It is called
"Twenty Miles From Boston." It represents
a fat man standlnsr on a country road re
garding a sign on which is printed, "Bos
ton. Twenty Miles." The hole obliterates
the fat man's countenance, which Schu
macher thinks Is a terrible catastrophe.
HELEN GOULD PRESIDED.
Opened Eleventh Annual Session
of the Woman's Law Class.
KKPUBUC SPECIAU
New York. Oct. H. "It vastly pleasas sn
to call attention to the great distinction
that women have attained In legal studies
In competition with men of high ability."
spoke Miss Helen Gould at the eleventh
opcnlrp of the annual session of the. Wom
en's Law Class to-day.
Miss Gould, as vice presidont of tll
Women's Ivgal Education Society, was th
chief and center in tho sre.it hall of the
New York University. She wore the silken
academic robes and cap. Around her neck
nos tied and on her shoulder rested a hood
of violet, emblematic of the detrree In law.
ltsi color and the more vivid In contrast
with her somber robes.
"Ladles." continued Miss Gould, I regret
to say that our president. Mrs. John Munn.
owing to the illness of her son. will not be
present at the meeting to-day. Owing to
Mrs. Munn's absence I wish to say a few
words concerning the Women's Law Class."
Miss Gould spoke In a low. clear voice,
but her tone was louder and she smiled hap
pily when she expressed her pleasure that
women have distinguished themselves la
legal studies In competition even with most
able men. Tho women before her smiled,
too. and the expression of some said
plainly:
"Why. of course! Poor, weak-minded
men!"
