Louis. TRYING TO MAKE Mckinley votes. Reports as to the Methods of the Trust in the Liggett Myers Tobacco Factory. It la reported on good authority that within the last two weeks employe of the Liggett 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 defeating Bryan lay their chance of prosperity, and that this action was expected of them regardless of their party affiliations. Incident showing how this covert in- mldatlon la Influencing employes of the trusts Is told by Eugeno Normandy of No. 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 employe 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 yesterday, 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 return 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 altogether. Therefore tho wife could not guarantee payments on the machine. In tho home of another employe of the same concern, where he had placed a machine, Normandy was met with almost tho same reply.

It was stated these people that It was well understood by tho employes of the concern what was expected of them by the management. Both Feet Were Cat On. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. Neooho. Oct.

of Wealthy Penn- sylrania Family. Ilatl Heen Parted From Wife. WORKED IN STEEL FOUNDRY. Talked Much of Sulfide, but tin- Coroner Returned Vi-rdiet, if Accident Hotly He Sent for P.urial. A.

Kolbeck, scion of a wealthy I'enn-syhanla family, died at Granite City. jestcrdav beneath tho -wheel of a drag passenger 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 almost 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, 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 replied 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 hotel, 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 proceeded 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.

Mrs. Sampson told me that this great man was brooding, was breaking his heart the thought that tils fellow-countrymen were so unkind.

"I said to Mrs. Sampson. "'When I ltlt Southland, If thn opportunity offers itself, I wlh to till them bomcthing of this majestic character' "She replied: 'Vou dare not. Your Southland was quick and lgorous to resent what wb thought to b3 an attempt to take away the laurels of one of its great "I cam" by Washington and raw the Secretary of the Navy and the President.

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 uninjured. Richer lives Just south of Caron-dclct, near the quarry, and his fall was the result of tho caving In of an overhanging 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 Hospital. 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 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 Irregular 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. Suddenly he felt the earth sinking beneath him and before he could rcalizo his pro-carious position he was precipitated to tha bottom.

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 alleged damages to his picture, caused by a danco held In tho art rooms at the Exposition 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, rendering it worthless In its owner's estimation. Schumacher has put his ligure at JL2uO. but ha thinks that no sum of money could fully repay- him for what he calls tho "Insult 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 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 Exposition, for permisj-lon to use the two west art rooms In hlch were Schumacher's pictures. It was granted. On Saturday Schumacher got wind of the scheme, and he went forthwith to Mr. Atkinson and registered a "kick." Mr. Atkinson was not so sensitive on the subject of art.

and said that he could see no harm that could come to tho pictures by the dance. The dance was held, and nothing more was heard about the matter until 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 regarding a sign on which is printed, "Boston. Twenty Miles." The hole obliterates the fat man's countenance, which Schumacher thinks Is a terrible catastrophe. HELEN GOULD PRESIDED. Opened Eleventh Annual Session of the Woman's Law Class.
