Just what brought the matter up I am unable to Bay. "RUSH CULVER." April 11, 191L WILLIAM 3. HILL, Notary. rtifled by Clerk Frank G. Jenka of Marquette county.

Culver, after making tbe affidavit, returned to L'Anae. Documents In the possession of some of the business associates ot Hlnea, both; In Marquette and Chicago, show that the Northern Lumber company transaction, to which the affidavits refer, took place prior to December, 1908, and possibly the conrersatlons referred to occurred In 1904. Political Feaa at Bartoaa af It. Culver has been piqued and full of resentment toward Hlnes ever since tbe deal fell through. Hines offered much less for the property than he Jones also has heen unfriendly to Hines fpr years.

Jones' store Is the resting place of politicians who- are opposed to Hines and his friends in the "north Tbe publication of the story In the Mining Journal also involves a political fend of long standing between Postmaster J. D. Mangum of Marquette, who happens to be the proprietor ot the Marquette Chronicle, a new afternoon dally, which Is encroaching on the field of the Journal, and James Russell, warden of the northern Michigan prison, who is tbe proprietor ot the James Russell acquired his first political prominence as a referee of the federal courts in northern Michigan. Aa warden he la now under charges of mistreating the prisoners at the prison by whipping them and treating them in other cruel and inhuman ways. Mosber Is one of the busiest political plotters of Marquette.

-Before be became deputy marshal he was deputy warden at the penitentiary under Warden In the shuffle of the politics! cards Mosher was tossed In the discard. Ha woke up one morning to Bp 4 himself practically penniless and without a Job. Post master Ma aaa a Barea Maaaer. "I felt sorry for the fellow." said Post-f master Mangum. "so I took care of him and kept him on bis feet tor a while, at the same time trying to get bim reinatated at the I gave him a home and.

later put him to work on the Chronicle. The new warden retuaed to have Mosher as He continued on the Chronicle for aw blle. Meanwhile the prison scandal came up Invelvlag Russell. paper was more In aympathy with the prisoners than with Russell, who has been -fighting Mangum politically for years. i When It looked aa It the Investigation was going to cause the removal of Russell.

Mosher disappeared from the Chronicle office-and later, showed up on the witness stand at a bearing as a pro-Russell wttneaa. He awora he had seen a private letter addressed to Mangum from State Representative Ogg of Michigan, the contents of which reflected on the members of the Investigating committee who were friendly to Russell's side of the CSse; "I am Brmly convinced," said Poetmaster PROVE ANTI-LORIMER LUMBER MERCHANJ INVOLVED: to before iGjit 'words the matter up I am enable cA yi. Mangum, 'that Russell got at the letter In my private desk. -I cannot see bow else he could have secured it." The thing that grieves me, however. Is his ingratitude.

At the time, of the famous Chinese smuggling cares Mosher appeared as a' witness for tbe trainmen who were accused of having placed tbe Chinese In bos cars of the South Shore railway and brougbvthem across from Canada. The ease Is now being Investigated by the railway Mangum Is a friend ot Hines and keeps his picture hanging in the Hotel Praprletara Cllaea Deafals. John H. Lewis, proprietor ot the Hotel Marquette, wben interviewed, eaid: "I am well acquainted with Edward Hlnes of Chicago. He has made It a practice for years to atop with me whenever be waa In this section of tbe country.

I do not recall that I have seen him for three or four years. I have looked over tha register for 1909 since this story waa started and could find no signature Of bis. ThU denial that Hlnea was In Marquette after the election of Lorlmer was borne out also by the statement of Daniel Sullivan, the proprietor ot the only other hotel In the city. The proprietor of the Cliffton said: "I4o not know Hines when I see He baa certainly never been a guest here or I would have met him. My registers since the first of -the year 1909 'ail to show his signature.

These statements are confirmed' by yfi-: The published statement to the effect that Hlnea had. loafed about the Bush buet and consumed Scotch highballs soon after Lori-mer's election was also denied by the proprietor of tbe buffet, who said that be knew Hines. but that he had not been In Marquette, far as he knew, for at least three years. asaaaW 111 iv 111 A '-V ill i it-t i LaaaaaBasaaaassw SiV-V- II "Wt-ZZ A yi STORY "A FAKE AND 31 duly otim 4 to say it.

That the widows and dependents of tbe firemen who perished In tbe stock yards disaster last are Jbe victims of a "ring" composed of prominent business men and financiers, who have Invested tbe fund, and cany thousands ot other relief funds. In securities and bends of companies la which they are Interested for their own profit, will be charged today in aa affidavit to be filed in court by John J.

Coburn, attorney for tbe Stock Tarda Survivors' association. Attorney Coburn, who is seeking to bring about a cash division of the I211.O00 Instead of having it invested by-Harlow N. Higinbotham and tbe other trosUes ot tbe fund, declared last night he Intends to neover an organisation composed of well known who have made it an object to get control of public funds of that kind which they have uced for their, own profit and the advancement 'of their bostnesa Interests. Coburn refused to tint those to whom he referred In his verbal statement last eight, but said that the affidavit will contain the names of several prominent men of whesn Mr. Higinbotham la the least conspicuous in the commercial and- financial circles of Chicago.

Ask tmr lajaaetlea. The affidavit will bo filed In the Superior court this morning. It will ask for aa immediate divif Ion of the fund and an Injunction restraining the committee from Investing the-money. Attorney Coburn says the hearing will probably begin Saturday. A great.

many people will be surprised when they learn the contents of my affidavit, said Attorney Coburn. "It will not only apply to Harlow N. Higinbotham and the members of tbe committee of which he is chairman, but It will involve ethers of prominence In the business and financial affairs of Chicago. "I am ready to ahow that there la a circle of prominent men In this city ywho make tt their business to gain control of any funds of the same kind as the stock yards fire fund. These men get the money In their control, and Instead of dividing It among those for whom it is given, put the money In trust by buying stocks, bonds and securities In the companies in wbicb they are Interested as officers or stockholdera.

"I have had a careful Investigation made during the last few days, and I am now ready to bring surprising facts to the attention of tha public. Ss Ressrl aa Other Pssli, "Harlow N. Higinbotham had an important part in tbe control of the cold storage fir relief fund which amounted to S104.000. The beneficiaries of that fund appealed for a division of the money, but Higinbotham and his associates refused to grant their requests. They did.

oowcrer, give each widow SI. 000. keeping aa additional $2,000 in trust for each widow. "Has any one seen a report from Harlow N. Higinbotham regarding that money during tbe last ten years I have been enable to find any one who has.

What taaa been done with that money 7" We nope to answer those ques tions as well as many others affecting the stock yards fire fund when the hearing begins. "Higinbotham again obtained control of $211,000 contributed for-, the widows and orphans of the men who died at the stock yards fire. Ha has refused to give them any of that money. He nas emphatically de clared himself againat any proposition for a cash division of the money. We want to know why Mr.

Higinbotham Is so anxious to keep money given by the people of Chicago for a worthy cause in spite of protests of thoee to whom it was given. "The money, or a large part or It. has been Invested In the Chicago-Edlon com pany, Chicago Railway company and Chicago Telephone company bonda. Why were those bonds chosen as proper Investments for the money which rightfully belongs to widows and orphans? That question Is easy when It is knowa that Harlow N. Higinbotham and several others oa that committee, are heavy stockholdera la these three companies.

Sara He Will I rave Camrsrea. MV affidavit can be termed a aiuler. It names' some very Importaat personages. no I expect to prove every charge I have made la that affidavit, Harlow N. Higin botham, B.

K. Sunny or anyone else to the contrary." Leo Council. Knights of Columbus, whose 600 members contributed $500 to the stock yards fire fund have started an Investigation' of the committee's action. A committee has been appointed to carry on the Investigation of which J. Qulnlan, 5437 Princeton avenae Is chairman.

The committee Is strongly la sympathy with the widows who want a cash, division the tnonev. and la nlannlna- to Interval th order of the Knights ot Columbus In the movement. 'Mr. Higinbotham will have to anawer sev eral questions before Lee Council. Knights oi Columbus, win be satisfied with the ac tions of his committee.

aald Mr, Qulnlan. "We know that $9,553 has been deducted from the fund as expenses of Investing the money. That amount of money has been taken from the fund without any explanations. Why has It been done! We are anxious to have Mr. Higinbotham or any other members of the committee answer that question.

Canrtrlatatara Deaass Kxplaaallss. "Why hasn't Mr. Higinbotham given oat statement to the public telling exactly what has been done with the money! We contributed to the fund and want to know what has been done with our money, ahice It has not gone to those to whom we gave It. "We want to know how much money is In the fund at the present time. We know that money has been received almost dally from vaiiouB sources for the fund, but there has not been one word from Mr.

Higinbotham telling ua how large the fund Is at this time. "We want to know by what right Mr, Higinbotham presumed to ask Mrs. -A. D. Lannon what she' would do with her money If she received It.

We believe it Is none of his business that his authority ended aftr the money waa received and distributed among the beneficiaries. It would -not concern him If Mrs. Lannon and every other woman Intereated In the fund threw their money Into the streets. He -did not give the money and has no right to ask any questions. Hls duty Is to give the money to tbe womenl want to know why the money has been Invested In the bonds of companies In which Mr.

Higinbotham is interested. It appears to as as a very, convenient way of selling bonds. We want to know why Mr. Higinbotham has said the cltlxens- committee had de- elded to Invest the money. Has the cltlxens' committee any right to-dispose of money contributed by -thousand of people aa It sees fit.

or as the peopio who gave tbe money want It to bo disbursed? i Waa Wldswt ta Gel Maaey. We contributed to that fund, and we have more to contribute, but it will not ret into the hands of Higinbotham and his associates. We want our money to go to the widows and orphans, not to a crowd ot high financiers. If the courts will not demand that this money Is given to tbe women and children, then we will give what remains ot our contribution to the widows and orphans direct. "Leo Council Is supporting the claims of the Stock Tarda Survivors' association, both as a humanitarian organization and as a contributor, and, It possible, we intend to see that the ones to whom we gave oar money receive their share.

"We want the utmost publicity. It Is a fund accumulated by public subscription, and we believe the public has a right to know what Is being done with It. 'The money mas not given to Harlow N. Higinbotham or any of his associates. It waa.

given to tbe wives, mothers and children of the fire me a who died doing their duty at the stock yards fire, and we will do all in our power to get It away from those who propose to keep the money in their- charge and pay its owners smaller individual amounts in Interest than the Illinois Savings and Trust company will receive aa trurtee of the fund."
