on Powderly and Hayes. .-
QUEER FINANCIAL METHODS
Turnor Charges That Powderly Got Money
Sub Rosa from the Order to Buy a.
House, and Bad His Salary Raised to
Pay It Back—Hayes’ Pickings.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.—-The feature of
"he convention of the Knights of Labor at
ifoledo last week was the report of the
:ommittee that investigated ex-Treasurer
i‘red Turner’s books. The report; of this
:ommittee, unanimously adopted, was to
:he effect that Turner had refused to ap-
ocar before them or to give up the canceled
:hecks and other documents in his posses—
=ion, and that, in the absence of these
iocnments, the investigation showed a.
balance of over $14,000 unadunted for,
even crediting him with $17,000 expended
«wording to his statements.
Mr. Turner, who was found at his gro-
zery at Sixth and Master streets, indig-
zautly denied that his accounts were
wrong in an 3' particular. and denounced
Jhe action of the committee as part of the
general master workman’s scheme to de-
orivc him of some dangerous weapons
{gainst Powderly himself. He said that
Expert Sinnexon, employed by the order,
Iad sworn that his accounts were all right
It the end of the convention of 1888, when
no left the Powderly camp.
He had left all his accounts in the treas-
Irer’s office that could be needed by his
successors, but had retained all the can-
:cled checks for his own protection. Thus,
Ihould the executive board claim that any
)f the vouchers for expenditures during
1is incumbency were missing, he could
iefend himself by producing the corre-
sponding canceled checks.
Why His Salary Was Increased.
Some ofthe canceled checks which Mr.
Turner exhibited were the basis of a
remarkable tale concerning Mr. Powder-
iy’s use of the order’s money and his “pri-
vate" and “confidential” instructions as
70 little arrangements of his own. One of
:he checks showed that on June 23, 1886,
51,000 were drawn from the order’s funds
it the Corn Exchange National bank by
l‘. V. Powderly, followed by the drawing
If an additional $1,500 on Aug. 26.
The story that Mr. Turner hinged upon
)hese checks was that Powderly wanted to
my a house. but he didn’t have the money
:0 do it, while the order did. He wanted
:0 use the order’s money without anybody
Knowing anything about it. The execu:
:ive board at that time consisted of Pow-
;Ierly, Hayes, Bailey and Barry, all stanch
Powderly men, except Barry. So, accord-
.ng to Turner, Barry was sent away on
lume fictitious mission, and Powderly and
Iis two satellites held a meeting and
.oaned the general master workman 82,500
If the order’s money.
It was agreed that the money should be
returned, and also that Powderly should
1013 be compelled to go down into his own
pocket to do it. His salary at that time
was $1,500 a year. It was arranged that as
men as the convention met in the fall his
lalary should be increased to $5,000, which
would enable him to pay with the order’s
noney what he had taken out of the or-
ler’s treasury.
At the Richmond convention, in Octo-
Jer, 1886, this plan was carried out, Pow-
lerly’s salary being raised to the prear-
ranged figures. The general master work-
nan received his salary monthly, with a
:‘at expense bill in addition, and about four
nonths after the “increase” voted him by
3he Richmond convention he began to pay
Hi? the loan in driblets.
‘Wantod It Kept Mum. _
Mr. Turner exhibited in this connection
I. bundle of letters received by him from
Powderly. They were marked “per-
sonal,” “private” or “confidential,” and
were evidently regarded by the author as
)f a. compromising nature. They were ad-
iressed to “My dear Fred,” and were
signed “Terry,” Powderly’s own adapta-
;ion of his name Terence.
In a. letter dated Aug. 25, 1886, Powderly
nade his second demand on Treasurer
I‘urner for a big chunk of the order’s
noney, concluding with, “Barry has said
so much concerning what has transpired
m the board that I do not want him to
{now anything about this unless he calls
for it, and if he does, let me know, so that
i can at once get the money and pay it
Jack to you.”
On Feb. 2, 1887, he wrote to Turner to
:he effect that he expected to make a be-
ginning of paying ofi his debt. This letter
:oncludes with, “Let no one see this, for I
rm under the impression that some one
goes over all the letters thatthey can find
in your desk or on Charlie’s.” Two days
Ifterward, when he made his first pay-
nent on the loans, he wrote, “Several
:hings have leaked out that ought to have
seen kept quiet,” and he complained that
iomebody was trying to find out what was
going on. Q
Subsequent letters related to further
payments on the loan and to various
schemes to keep the affair from ventila-
tion. Some of the letters threw a new
.ight upon the general master workman's
rendering of his monthly expense bills
1nd his diplomacy regarding the order.
Hayes’ Scheme for Ito-election.
“I have in my possession many other
letters from Powderly,” said Mr. Turner.
“I never thought of using any of his per—
ional letters against him until he and his
lriends attacked me. Then I decided to
make my defense as strong as possible. It
was because my office as treasurer couldn’t
be worked by some of the officials in the
arder as they wished that I incurred their
:nmity and Powderly eventually turned
Igainst me. ~
“A committee waited on me last spring
1nd wanted me to give up my canceled
:hecks. I refused to do this, because it
would have deprived me of substantial
weapons had we ever got into the courts.
[t was always my intention to sue Pow-
lerly the minute he should give utterance
to the charges against me. It was useless
to sue the others, because they didn’t have
my property, and I couldn’t sue a corpo.
ration.
“I hardly know what to attribute the
charges to unless to Hayes’ desire to keep
In office. He succeeded me at the conven-
tion of 1888 and has kept himself in office
since then, promising great developments.
[ think he will now see that he is inafair
way to get them. In the 1889 convention
he said that he couldn’t make head or tail
of the accounts, because I had carted away
III the books. As a matter of fact, the
order never kept any books, but plain
daily sheet accounts, all of which I left in
the office.
“At the Denver convention last year,
Advertise in the DAILY GAzETTE.
when he had been 1' we years going over
the accounts, be mad . a speech in which
he said that he vms null pursuing the sub-
ject, and thought that if re-elected he
could unearth something. On his sugges-
tion a committee of lines was appointed
to investigate the matter.”
Mr. Turner was asked if he thought
there was actually a shortage of 814,000 or
any other sum in the Order’s accounts.-
Hayes Had i'ickinga Too.
“I don’t know anything about the or-
Iler’s accounts now,” he replied quickly.
“I have been asked if money hasn’t been
stolen by somebody in the order and the
charges made against me to cover it up,
but I can have nothing to say in answer
to such a question when I have had noth-
ing to do with the order for three years.
“While I don’t know anything about
the order, I will venture to make one as-
sertion. Since the publication of the fact
that I have in my possession a. voucher for
a fifty-five dollar piece of furniture bought
by Hayes, charged to the order and then
sent to his own house, it will not be many
days before that bit of property will be
forwarded by him to the general head-
quarters as proof of his honesty. I don’t
know whether any other articles will ac-
company it or not.
“There is one thing I want to say. I
don’t believe my bitterest enemy in the
order will say that he believes any charges
that I appropriated to my own use the or—
der’s money. That is something that it
might be easier to say of others.”
The famous ex~treasurer had some
amusing incidents to relate in the way of
the presenting of the general ofiicers’ bills.
Cigars and drinks for their friends, laun-
dry for themselves and families, clothes
and furniture formed striking parts of the
curiously itemized accounts.
“Powderly was never caught in any-
thing like that though,” he continued.
“He was too shrewd. His monthly ex-
pense bills averaged from 8100 to $175, that
sum being handed over to him in addition
to his fat salary. He always paid all his
bills himself and then presented his own
bill to the treasury. He never ran up bills
for other persons to present. He made up
his own accounts, and I must say that he
presented as nice, clean and pretty a. bill
as I ever saw.”
Powderly’s Explanation.
Mr. Powderly has telegraphed to this
city from Toledo the ‘following in ref-
erence to Turner’s charges:
“My house was built and paid for by my
own money. I earned it and was under
obligations to no one. If what Turner
states were true, it would brand him as
positively dishonest not to have revealed
such matter to the general convention of
1886 and 1887. I opposed him at Indianap-
olis in 1888 because he was incompetent,
and he then circulated the some stories he
now reiterates. His accounts should con-
tain all of his financial transactions with
the order and its oflicers. If he failed to
make full reports, the opportunity to do
so was presented to him by the special
committee appointed at the Denver ses-
sion, and what he now rehashcs could
have gone in the official report of the com-
mittee.
“Turner was himself a member of the
general executive board at the time he
speaks of. He was treasurer of the order
also, and when he states that the 700 dele-
gates who assembled at the Richmond
general. convention in 1886 increased my
salary to $5,000 to enable me to pay back a
loan he tampers with the truth very reck-
lessly. The convention increased my
salary to 85,000 against my protest. I am
under no obligations to the order or its
members for that money for I earned every
cent of it. Mr. Turner’s contrition comes
too late and must be regarded as a case of
sour grapes. The general assembly has a
full and explicit statement from me.”
Almy Taken to Plymouth.
MANCHESTER, N. 11., Nov. 17.—Frank
Almy, the slayer of Christie \Varden, was
taken from his cell in the jail here and,
closely guarded, he was driven to the de-
pot and boarded the express for Plymouth.
He was accompanied by officers from that
place. The prisoner seemed to be in good
condition. There was only a small crowd
at the station. Almy boarded the car
aided only by his crutches. The doctor
says that the bones of his leg have firmly
united. -
DIrs. Holmes Won Her Suit.
BOSTON, Nov. 17.——The jury in the case
of Mrs. Carrie A. Holmes against her
father, H. W. Smith, rendered a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for 822,000. Mrs.
Holmes brought the action to recover $20,-
000 which she had put in the business of
her father, an organ manufacturer. She
alleged that this sum had been wrongfully
converted by her father to his own use.
Prince George Recovering.
LONDON, Nov. 17.—-The bulletins of the
physicians in attendance at Marlborough
House upon Prince George of \Vales an-
nounced that the latter is progressing
toward recovery. Prince George was at-
tacked by enteric fever at Sandringham
recently, and on Friday last his father
brought him to this city for treatment.
Wentworth Made Collector.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-—The president
has appointed Mark F. ‘Vcntworth, of
Maine, collector of customs in the district
of Portland and Falmouth, Me.
SVORL‘D’S FAIR NOTES.
The exposition will Open its doors to the
public on May 1, 1893, and close them Oct.
30 of the same year.
The American sculptor Macmonies is
working in Paris on an immense fountain
for the Chicago fair. It will be the cen-
tral decoration of the exhibition grounds,
and will consist of thirty gigantic figures.
It is now being put in plaster.
It may be said to be assured that the ex-
hibits at the exposition will cover a wider
range and be far more numerous than were
ever before gathered together. They will
present a picture of the condition and in-
dustrial progress of mankind in every
quarter of the world and of its achieve-
ments in every branch of the sciences and
arts.
The participation of women in the expo-
sition promises to be one of its most inter-
esting as well as novel features. The
World’s Congress Auxiliary has arranged
to bring to Chicago in 1893 many of the
world’s greatest specialists and thinkers
to participate in congresses where an in-
terchange of ideas and discussions of the
important questions in their respective
fields will occur.
The exposition buildings will be dedi-
cated on Oct. 12, 1892, with imposing cere-
monies, in which the president of the
United States, the governors of all the
states, the military and militia and many
distinguished individuals are expected to
participate.
Daniel 0. French, the New York sculp-
tor, has just arrived in Paris to fill an or-
dot for the Chicago exhibition. It will be
a colessal statun of the Republic, a female
figure sixty to eighty feet high.

ANOTHER PLOT UNEARTHED
A Hundred Nobles Arrested—No Official
Information Given Out in St. Peters-
burg, but the “’ilde‘st Rumors
Are in Circulation.
LONDON, Nov. 17.——Since the arrest at
Moscow on Thursday last of about a bun-
dred members of noble families, literateurs
and others, charged with being concerned
in the movement looking to the creation
of a popular assembly or parliament, simi-
lar to the Temsky labor assemblies under
the early czars, it has become known that
this alleged conspiracy was of much wider
extent than at first supposed, and it is said
that several hundred persons have been
taken into custody in addition to those re-
ferred to. ‘
From the time of the discovery of this
plot the correspondents in Russia of the
news agencies and newspapers have been
doing their utmost to discover the true in-
wardness of these wholesale arrests, but
without success, for little or no news re-
gardin g this revolutionary movement can
be procured.
“’ild Rumors Afloat.
A United Press correspondent at St. Pe-
tersburg wired last night as follows:
“Strictest censorship of press dispatches
observed. Government contemplating se-
vere measures against newspaper corre-
spondents. Almost impossible to get
facts regarding arrests of nobles and oth-
ers, who were planning creation of a par—
liament. Reported extensive arrests here
as well as Moscow and other cities. All
information refused. Police advise corre-
spondents not to comment on arrest-s.
Situation very grave. \Vildest rumors
circulating.”
In this city, however, there are a num-
ber of prominent Russian exiles who
seem to be able to laugh at the Russian
police and who are kept constantly well in-
formed, by some secret means, as to near-
ly all that transpires in Russia. One of
the most prominent of these refugees was
questioned in regard to the large number of
arrests now being made in Rbssia. After
the correspondent had pledged himself not
to use his informant’s name, the latter
said in substance that never in the his-
tory of the Russian empire was the situa-
tion of affairs within the dominions of the
czar so desperate and so weighted with
danger to the imperial regime.
Not a. Quarter of the Horror Known.
Not a quarter of the real horrors of the
famine are known, he added. Thousands
are dying in the famine stricken districts
of starvation or typhoid fever, influenza
or other diseases. In some sections, said
the Russian gentleman referred to, the
distress is as great as when the cholera or
the plague swept down upon villages and
towns and nearly wiped all their inhab-
itants off the face of the earth.
Even were the government so consti-
tuted that an honest attempt could be
made to relieve the sufferers, even had the
government at its disposal the immense
sums of money which would be necessary
to relieve the distressed, thousands more
of them would perish before help could
reach them, even supposing that the in-
clemency of the Russian winter would
permit the free transportation of supplies.
War in the Near Future.
In view of the famine, official crooked-
ness, disgraceful disclosures in high cir-
cles, the danger of war and the practical
failure of the new Russian loan, Russia’s
rulers are in a position which is far from
enviable, and to which war would be a re-
lief, as it would take the public mind off
the contemplation of official abuses.
There are but few ways out of the grow-
ing difficulty, continued your correspond-
ent’s informant; the czar must give Russia
some little liberty of action or else drown
out the present sentiment in favor of such
legislation by plunging into war. The
utterances of the Emperor Francis Joseph
recently would seem to indicate that Aus-
tria. looks upon war as nearly certain in
the near future. Germany seems to have
the same feeling, and so who can tell what
will happen before the year 1892 expires.
A Trusted Employee’s Fall.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.——Herman Grue-
nebaum, an old and trusted employee of
the Berhner 85 Eagle Brewing company,
has been arrested charged with embezzling
upward of $10,000 from his employers. He
held the position of weigher, and had the
authority to stamp all the kegs that left
the brewery and to weigh all material that
camein and went out.
Barge and Two Men Went Down.
MEMPHIS, Nov. 17.—The steamer Lady
Lee collided with a barge containing 2,000
sacks of cotton seed at Gold Dust, on the
Mississippi river. The barge went to the
bottom, carrying with it John Baker and
Moses Griffiths, two deck hands. The
barge and cargo are a total loss. The
steamer was not damaged.

Genera Grant’sMemoirs,
Iriginal $7 Edit-ion for 30 Cents.
'0 BOOK, excepting the Bible, has ever had such a. sale in the United
States as General Grant’s Memoirs. 650,000 copies have already gone-
into the homes of the rich, but the subscription price of $7 has placed it
beyond the reach of people in moderate circumstances. If 650,000 people
have been willing to pay $7 for Grant’s Memoirs, there must be a couple of
million people in the United States who want them, and will jump at the
opportunity to buy them at the low figure here ofl‘ered. ‘
We will send you General Grant’s Memoirs, publisher’s original
edition, best paper, green and gold binding, hitherto sold by subscription V
at $7, for 30 cents— . - .
FUR 3M! ABSOLUTELY ONLY-l 300:
and absolutely a. proposition such as has never been made in the history of
book publishing. The two splendid volumes of Grant’s Memoirs, of which
650,000 copies have already been sold—not a. cheap edition, but the best-—
for 30 cents ; provided you send your subscription to THE WEEKLY GAZETTE
for one year, and also a. subscription of $3 for THE COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE,
the brightest and cheapest of the great illustrated monthlies, itself equal t
the best 354 magazine.
THE COSMOPOLITAN is enabled to make this‘offer because of the purchase
of 600,000 volumes at a. price which even publishers would deem impossible,
and with the idea of running up its circulation to half’a million copies. B
contract with THE COSMOPOLITAN, THE WEEKLY GAZETTE is enabled to offer
our readers a share in the low price obtained through the largest purchase
of books ever made in the history of the world.
If, however, you have Grant’s books, THE COSMOPOLITAN’S offer will
permit you to take instead,
