CHICAGO POLICE.
Seventeen Men Suspended by an In-
spector at One Station.
ALLEGED NEGLECT OF DUTY
Their Indifference to Outrage* at the Poll*
on Election Day the Cause—
Knight* of Labor
Meet.
Chicago, Nov. 14.—Seventeen police*
jnen were suspended by the inspector
nt the Hast Chicago it venue station
last night. Their indifference to the
numerous outrages at the polls, cul-
minating in the murder of Dus ( ollian-
der on election night, is alleged to be
the direct cause. 1 he formal charges
are neglect of duty and disobedience of
orders.
Inspector Schuuek also revised his
force of detectives oil the ('oilhinder
murder case, and the men who have
been looking for Senator O'Malley,
the notorious “Maj.” Sampson, “(’lab-
"by" burns, “Kid” Murphy, .John
San try and the others of the gang
accused of the murder of bus Col Han-
der, are now in fear for their otlieial
heads. It has been strongly intimated
that many of them will he suspended
within a day or two. It is understood
Inspector Schaack has obtained au-
thentic information that some <>f his
detectives not only did not attempt to
find tin* murderous gang, hut furnished
information to them regarding the
movements of the police.
Three hundred and forty-four mem-
bers of the Union League club talked (
about election day outrages last night
and within ten minutes made up a
purse of 84,000 to help to pay for the
catching of election law violators and
the sending of them to .Joliet prison.

called to order at noon to-day. It was
stated, however, that they would boon

the nature of the attempt to wrest con-
trol from the present ruling element in
the order will be.

Leading officers and delegates say it

HAMPTON’S REPORT.
The Commissioner of Railroad* Make* HI*
Annual Statement.
Washington, Nov. 14.—Wade Hamp-
ton, commissioner of railroads, has
made his annual report for the year
ended June 30, 1804, to the secretary of
the interior. The commissioner calls
attention to the effect upon earnings of
the financial and industrial depression.
He notes the fact that, notwithstanding
this depression, the Union Pacific,
which includes the Kansas Pacific, is
the only one of the bonded railways
which, during the period mentioned,
passed into the hands of receivers. A
personal inspection of the properties of
the Union and the Central Pacific Rail-
way companies by the commissioner
showed them to be in excellent phys-
ical condition. The Union Pacific,
including the Kansas division, shows
a decrease of net earnings, as com-
pared with of 82,105,716. The
commissioner calls attention to the
fact that in the case of the Union Pa-
cific Railway Co. bonds to the amount
of 8640,()()() will mature in November,
1895, and between that date and Janu-
ary 1, 1899, the balance of the subsidy

Chicago, Nov. 14. The United States
government report on the great rail-

day. The report, which is signed by

BANK ROBBERY.
A Kansas Itank Raided In Broad Daylight
—One of the RMiIstn Killed.
Sai.ina,Kan.,Nov. 14.—Three masked
robbers held up the Hank of Sylvan
i Grove, Kan., 40 miles west of here, at
] noon yesterday, and one of their rrum-
j her was left dead in an unusually tragic
I manner. He was shot by Cashier John
Colene, of the hank, and when in a dy-
ing condition was peforated with bul-
lets by his own companions, to save
themselves from exposure. The men
rode into town on fast horses. They
were finely mounted and heavily armed.
Their masked facesand Hying steeds at-
tracted every lx sly’s attention, but they
wasted no time in getting to work. They
pulled their horses up with a jerk in
front of the bank, and while one rob-
ber remained seated, holding the
bridles of the other two horses and
guarding the entrance to the hank, his
two companions entered. A citizen
who was transacting business at the
counter complied quickly with their

The report says the capitalization of ' command to throw fits hands up. Cash
will also mature, for whoso payment
or redemption the company has prac-
tically made no provision. In the case
of the Central Pacific, the aggregate
of whose liabilities amounts to upward
of 856,000,000, the company has pro-
vided a sinking fund for the redemp-
tion of the first mortgage bonds, the
funds at present available for that pur-
pose amounting to nearly 86,000,000.
The commissioner recommends the
adoption of an amendment to the Thur-
man act, by providing that the amount
of net earnings he retained and applied
to the liquidation of the mortgage in-
debtedness. He also recommends that
congress take into consideration the
propriety of creating a national hoard
of railway arbitration, to whom all
questions in dispute In railway matters
between tin* employer and employes
should he submitted, and whose deci-
sion in respect to all questions sub-
mitted shall he final.
A PENSION FRAUD.
A Blind Mmi Who Huh Beaten the Govern-
ment Out of Over <M 7,000.
Four Smith, Ark., Nov. 14. John M.
Taylor, a blind man, whose home is at
Tahlequah. I. T., was convicted yes-
terday in the federal court of having
defrauded the government out of over
817,000. which he illegally drew during
the past twelve years as pension money.
Twelve years ago Taylor presented
himself before the examining hoard at
Van Huron, and. approaching Dr. nib-
broil. one of the physicians, asked that
gentleman if he remembered him.
After a more careful scrutiny of the
man, the doctor decided that he knew
him, and when the applicant asked
him if he had ever treated him for any
trouble, the physician thought again,
and told Taylor that he had, and that
his trouble had been caused by a gun-
shot wound. To this Taylor acquiesced,
and got from the doctor a certificate
that his injuries resulted from a gun-
shot wound. Upon the strength of
this, and other testimony trumped up,
various officers on the principal Baylor succeeded in getting several
upon association roads were treated as
under subjugation to the General Man-
agers’ association, and the report, af-
ter detailing the action of the associa-
tion in establishing agencies and em-
ploying men, adds:
This was the ttrst time when men upon each
line were brought sharply face to face with the
fact that in questions as to wages, rules, etc.,
each line was supported by twenty-four com-
bined railroads. It was an incident of the
General Managers' association to assist
each road in case of trouble.
The association is an Illustration of the per-
sistent and shrewdly disguised plan of corpor-
ations to overreach their limitations and to
usurp Indirectly powers and rights not con-
templated In their charters and not obtainable
from the people of their legislatures.
The report then describes the town
of Pullman and how it was conducted.
As to the great railroad strike proper,
the report says:
It is apparent that the readiness to strike
sympathetically was promoted by th«- dis-
turbed and apprehensive condition of railroad
employes, resulting from wage reductions on
different lines, blacklisting, etc., and from the
recent growth of the General Managers’ asso-
ciation iii' ii seemed to them a menace.
Further on the report says:
It is seriously questioned, and with much
force, whether courts have jurisdiction to en-
join citizens from “persuading' each other In
industrial or other matters of common Inter-
est. However, it is generally recognized among
good citizens that a mandate of a court is to be
obeyed until It is modified and corrected by the
court that issued it.
The committee upholds the president
for sending United States troops.
The report adds, however:
Many Impartial observers are reaching the
view that much of the real responsibility for
these disorders rests with the people them-
selves and with the government for not ade-
quately controlling monopolies and corpora-
tions. and for failing reasonably to protect the
rights of labor and redress its wrongs. No one
asserts that laws can completely remedy con-
tentions as to wages, etc., but many do insist
that something substantial can be accom-
plished in this direction if attempted honestly,
reasonably and In good faith.
However men may differ about the propriety
and legality of labor unions, we must nil recog-
nize the fact that we have them with us to stay
and to grow more numerous and powerful. Is
it not wise to fully recognize them by law: to
admit their necessity as labor guides and pro-
tectors, to conserve their usefulness,increase
their responsibility and prevent their follies
and aggressions by conferring upon them the

The moment the robbers were out of

himself he kept his seat and galloped
on. He was too badly wounded, how-
ever, to continue the effort long, and
before he had gone a quarter of a mile
his body swayed to and fro and finally
he fell heavily to the ground. His two
comrades, who up to this time had kept

A TRAIN HELD UI’.
Bandit* Plunder the st. Louis Jfc Sail Frtui-
cl*»*o Passenger Train and Escape.
Monktt, Mo., Nov. 14.—The St. Louis
A San Francisco passenger train No. 1,
due here at 7:50 p. in., was held up and
the express car robbed 3 miles east of
this city at 7:30 o’clock last evening. At
,Verona two masked men boarded the
tender of the engine, concealed them-
selves until the heavy grade and deep
cut was reached. Then they sprang
from their hiding place, covered the
engineer and fireman with Winches-
ters and commanded them to stop the
train. The command was promptly
obeyed. Climbing over the tender into
the cab the bandits marched the en-
gineer and fireman to the baggage car
and commanded them to open tlie door.
Messenger Chapman, by this time
aware of the robbery, refused to com-
ply. when, in a loud tone of voice, the
bandits, now six in number, threatened
to blow up the car with dynamite, and,
with true determination and in regular
Bill Cook style, produced a stick of
dynamite and were just in the
act of putting it to use when Engineer
Stevenson called to the messenger and
implored him to open the door, which
was done. The bandits entered the
cur. plundered it and, in full view of
the terrified passengers, clambered up
tlie hill and made their escape. It
was a successfully planned hold-up,
which required just fifteen minutes.
A PROCLAMATION.
We ought now to Inaugurate a permanent
system of investigation into the relations be-
tween railroads and employes in order to pre-
pare to deal with them intelligently, and that
we may conservatively adopt such remedies
as are sustained by public opinion for defects
or wrongs that may from time to time appear.
When railway employes secure greater cer-
tainty of their positions anil of the right to
promotion, compensation for injury, etc., it
will be time enough to consider such strict
regulation for them as we can now justly ap-
ply to railroads, whose rights are protected by
laws and guarded by ail the advantages of
greater resources and more concentrated con-
trol.
The commission contends that law should
make it obligatory upon some public tribunal
promptly to intervene by means of investiga-
tion and conciliation and to report whenever a
difficulty of the character of that occurring
during the past season at Chicago arises.
The commission, therefore, recommends:
First (1). That there be a permanent Unit-
ed states strike commission of three members,
with duties and powers of investigation and
make recommendation as to disputes between
railways and their employes, similar to those
vested in the interstate commerce commission
as to rates, etc.
A That , as in the interstate commerce act,
power being given to the United States courts
to compel railways to obey tin* decisions-of the
commission after summary hearing unattend- f sewl of thl. stiite of Kansas,
ed by technicalities, and that no delays in , |,oll,. !lt Toneka this L.’th day
obeying the decisions of tlu* commission be al-
lowed pending appeals.
It That w henever the party to a controversy
In a matter within the jurisdiction of the com-
mission are one or more railroads on one side
and one or more national trade unions, incor-
porated under chapter 507 of the United States
i statutes of 1885-0, or understate statutes, upon
j the other, each side shall have the right to se-
I loct a representative, who shall Ik* up|K>inied
! by the president to serve a* a temporary mem-
j brr of the commission in hearing, adjusting
and determining that particular controversy.
(This provision would make it for the inter- '
j ,.*1 of labor organizations to incorporate under
the law and to make the commission a practcul
board of conciliation, li would also tend to
create confidence in the commission and to
give to that body In every bearing the benefit
J of practical knowledge of tlu* situation on both
1 sides.)
C That during the pendency of tin* proceed-
ing before the commission inaugurated l»y na-
tional trade unions or by an incorporation of
employ on, It shall not be lawful for tin* rail-
roads to discharge employes belonging there-
to except for inefficiency,
or neglect of duty; nor
during such pendency tc
or aid or abet strikes o
Denyeb, Col., Nov. 14.—About 1:15
o'clock this morning' Kiku Oyama,
a Japanese woman who ran a dis-
reputable house, was strangled
death in a most mysterious manner.
This morning a murder wan committed
in the same row of houses ill which-
Lena Tapper and Marie (Sontassasoit
were strangled.
Kiku Oyama was 24 years old and
went from Japan to the world’s fair
at Chicago with the racial representa-
tives of her native land. There slio
made the acquaintance of I mi Oyama
and together they came to Denver last
November. I mil Oyama says lie was
the dead woman’s cook, but the neigh-
bors say he lived with her as her bus-
hand. He was the first person to'enter
her room after her death.
Ln the room, where tlie murdered wo-
man was found then* was every imlicar
tion that a desperate struggle had
taken place*. A rough hath towel lmd
been' used to* choice the woman, and
there was another of a similar kind ly-
ing upon a dressing table. The first
towel was twisted into a rope, and
there is every evidence that the victim
was thrown upon her back upon the
bed after the towel had been placed
about her neck and then deliberately
garroted. No money was found in tlie
room and it is believed the woman was
robbed.
BOV BANDITS PLEAD GUILTY.
Lait.NKifi Kan., Nov. 14. —Harvey and
Arnold, the boy murderers of Maj.
Marsh, of Kinsley, were taken before
Judge Vandivert this morning and
pleaded guilty to the charge of murder

posed by Judge Vandivert was impris-
onment in the state penitentiary at
Lansing until such time as the gover-
nor should decide that they should be

The boys wore taken on the 9 o’clock
traiu for Leavenworth by Sheriff
Heath, but not until a mob had gath-
ered and threatened lynching. Judge
