Prin jy2-2m PASSED BOGUS CHECKS. The Police Are on Offender. A rather clever case of passing worthless cheeks has come to light within the past few days. It is probable that the author!- ties will have the culprit under arrest with- in the next twenty-four houfs. They know who he is, although they refuse to divulge his name. Two checks were pdssed, and in both cases Mr. Charles W. Schneider, the baker, was made the victim, Saturday last young man went into Schneider's bakery and after satisfying the® ple that every: thing was all right, them to cash check for $56, and latér spcceeded in do- ing the same thing at the bakery stand in the Center market, this' time for $23. The larger check was on Mf. Ri. N. Copp, the real estate man, and thé other was on Mr, Charles W. Darr, the ajictioneer. Later, when Mr. Schneider's cashier was adding up the reccipts for the day from all cources, he noticed that these lwo checks were in the same handwriting, and that there was something, decidedly crooked about them. The matte: was placed in the hands of the detectives, and they have succeeded in locating thelr man. This afternoon Inspector Hollihberger had a long_conferenc> with the chief of the Balti- moré detective force. They have been work- ing today through the agency of the Post Office Department, as it is known that the young man’s mother has been writing to him since he has been away. — Estimated Revenues. An estimate of the revenues of the gov- ernment under the Gorman compromise tariff bill has been made at the Treasury Department, as follows: Customs, $17: internal revenue, —$21:3,000,000; Tracks of the miscellaneous items, $20,000,000; postal serv. ice, $84,427,748; total, $496,67%,890.16. Tn his last’ annual report Secretary Car- | lisle estimated the revenues for 1895 $154,427,748, and estimated revenue der the original Wilson bill were $442,085,177, both estimates being very much less than the revised estimates for the Senate bill. > The recent report sent Kan., that Mrs. Mundi: the notorious female h who broke jail at El 1, ard has since by apprehended in tha been a mistake. from Fredonia, om King and band December had been | proves to —, | for nominations for chairmai {come forward at this stage. AUGUST 18, 1894-TEN PAGES, A COMMITTEE NAMED Tndignant Certificate Holders of the Endowment Association, A CROWDED MEETING LAST NIGHT Charges Made Against the Manage- ment of the Concern. — MAY GO TO THE COURTS ema. The call for a meeting of certificate hold- ers in the Washington Beheficial Endow- ment Association met with a very general response last night. Willard Hall was packed. Through a lack of concert an earlier meeting was called for in the board of trade rooms, but the certificate holders who assembled there immediately adjourned and joined forces with those at Willard’s Hall. It 1s a mild expression of the truth to say that the people at Willard Hall last night were indignant. Some of them were angry to the point of boiling over, and it is se- riously to be doubted whether the officials of the association, had they been present and made themselves known, would have left the hall in a pleasant frame of mind. With the controversy and circumstances that called for the meeting held last night the readers of The Star are doubtless by this time quite familiar. Suffice it to re- peat briefly that each of those present held & policy in the Washington Beneficial En- dowment Association. Recently each holder received notification that the association had sold out to the Commercial Alliance Company 6f New York, and that the En- dowment Association policies could be ex- changed for those of the latter organization. This transaction Was a complete surprise, and, for various reasons which were de- veloped by the speeches last night, it has proved to be intensely unpopular with the holders of the policies. As a result of the mecting it seemed probable that few, if any,of the poliey holders of the Endowment rN n woul] enter the new company, resting developments are promised through the medium of the committee of ten appointed last night to represent the policy holders in the thorough investigation of the affairs of the association which the indixnant ones at the meeting vociferously demanded. ° «x the Meeting. When Lawyer F. H, Mackey rose to start the wheels going at every seat in the all was occupied and dred more people standing up back, while a few had found their way into the gal- lery. The great majority of the audience were men, but there was quite a sprinkling of women present. It was probably one cf the most representative crowds that ever ered tm Washington. All grades of so- ail sorts and conditions of men were AMongside of a judge of the Dis- urt WaS a messenger in rtments. The seat next a habby hes anxious lest. her s had been swept away. There probably not a grade of official or esented, and it ebie to say that all, without exception, rned with deep indignation. Mr. Mackey stated that at a fully at- tended mestitig of policy holders held at the board of trade during the afternoon it.was learned) that the Willard Hall mecting would be held later, and it was therefore {to adjourn the earlier meeting and idate the two. In the afternoon Mr. O. Claughton had been selected as chair- man and Mr. T. Percy Meyers as secretary. | Mr. Claughton, he said, was not able to esent in the evening and he asked A voice cried ne of Simon Wolf, which was taken up, and in a moment Mr. If was escorted to the platform. Mr. ers was chosen as secretary. Mr. Wolf ated briefly that the meeting was not tied for the purpose of Hstening to speeh- out anybody in the audience who might be will- ing to state the objects of the meeting to There was a and the crowd seemed very pause, After a moment or two Mr. William J. Miller advanced and took a ce on the He was grected with applause and Went on to say that he presumed that as name had appeared in the papers as hav- ing called the meeting he ought to start the ball roliing. He said that the meeting had stage, | been called at the special instance and re- of a large number of certificate hold- in the Endowment Association. “You all,” said, “probably received a cular Jeter without signature, stating we have, by some ‘presto, change,’ m placed in’ the possession of a different ‘company entircly from that which we oriz- inally tered “A at number of you en in the Endowment Association y years, all the way from sixteen pwn to a few months, and you have suddenly placed in Commercial Company of New . 1 do not if you have read the policy sent you ave read mine and i that I, for one, will som ng here showed nest vociferous 2 5 ied men waved now vpplause continued - of minutes, and was punctuated suts of encouragement to the speaker, at's the way to talk,” m with you,” “We won't go into it, Air. Miller then took his copy of the Al- nee policy, and, requesting his hearers to jow him with their covies, called atten- tion to the peculiar features of the new cer- tificate that they were asked to accept. “It ys that you are insured at a certain age, he said, “in the body of the policy, but there is a side provision among the regulations which permits the company to increase your premtum whenever they see fit to ad- Just it to your increased age. Every lawyer in the sound of my voice will agree with me that this picce of paper is noc worth the cost of its printing.” Mr. Miller waved his document high in the air, and this was the signal for another outburst of cheering and encouraging outeries. Mr. Miller's next point was, though perhaps very distaste- ful, productive of the greatest enthustasm. Now,” he continued, “in consideration of this inereased premium, this generous com- pany will pay you what? They promise to pay, in the event of my death, ‘a sum not exceeding $3,000," That means nothing more nor less than that they will pay you nothing. They don’t agree to pay you a farthing. The law of contracts says that the amount to be paid must be definite, or the contract is not valid.” Attacking the Company. Again the shouts of the now thoroughly awakened policy holders rose to the roof. The pot was boiling over. Mr. Miller went on to point out that the new policy stip- ulated that it would be void if the premium were not paid during the lifetime or good health of the holder. “That places you in a beautiful situation if you are sick,” he said, while, for the firsi time, the meeting burst inte laughter. this up, he said, “but he was a very shrewd chap, at all events. This is the poi- icy that they ask me to sign, and I say again { will not do it. I stand here at sixty-three years of age, after being fifteen years in this company. It is almost impos- sible for me now to get into a new com- pany. I intend to hold on to this policy as long as I can, and I shall invoke the law and contribute my mite in order that a court of equity may go thoroughly into the merits of this case and grant us our just rights. I have heard during the day a great deal of cordemnation expressed against Mr. Gardner, the president of this association. I also blame Mr. Gardner for his action in this matter, but I will not a low the directors of the company to escape | condemnation for their part in the transac- tion.”” This was another signal for an outburst of hand-clapping and shouting. After fully | a minute of confysion Mr. Miller went on | to say that when he went into the concern he did not know. it was 9 stock company, and did rot learn that fact for severai years after he took out his policy. At all events, he sald, the directors had no right to ‘sell out the policy holders, which they had done. “I am told that yesterday checks went out of the office of the association to the stockholders to pay them the profits of this cowardly bargain with the Alliance there were a hun-| cer was occupied by a poor | rom the chairman, and he called upon | Give it | “I don't know who got | y.

I ask you to appoint a committee of bookkeepers to go into the | books of this association, and to learn, if | possible, when and how this outrageous transaction was accomplished. Then I want you to appoint three lawyers to examine into the legal aspects of the case, and to see where the responsibility rests. Then there should be three civilians, conversant with the affairs of corporations, to see whether there may not be some way of re- viving the association, and placing it on a new and more satisfactory basis.” To Pay Assessments. At the close Mr. Miller’s remarks were greeted with tremendous cheering, in the midst of which a man arose in the front of | the hall and shouted out a question. He | kept on shouting until the enthusiasm of the others was abated, and then it was found that he vas asking for advice as to the payment of the regular monthly assess- ment of the Endowment Association, which is due toda: “On Saturday I sent my check through the office,” said Mr Miller, “and I advise every man here ionight to do the same. We must preserve our rights, and we can- not do so unless we pay our dues.” Immediately voices were raised in every part of the hall, assuring the speaker that the assessments due today would be promptly paid. The crowd had got down to a fighting basis, but it was not very ruly, and Chairman Wolf had great difficulty in maintaining order. In the effervescence of their indignation the policy holders could not restrain themselves, and the floor was frequently clamored for by several men at once. Mr. J. R. Griffin finally secured rec- ognition and a moment of quiet, and he went on to suggest that it would be better to appoint some business men to take charge of the association and carry it on “better than it has been conducted in the pas He said he had been told at the beginning that the assessments would not exceed thirteen each year, but they had gone far beyond that number, and he could not see why this was so. Mr. Charles W. Darr assured Mr. Griffin that the association was a stock concern, and that, as the directors had sold out, there was nothing left to reorganize. This was the signal for another storm, and chaos prevailed for some minutes. | Finally Mr. Charles H. Mann, standing the radiator in the southeast corner of the |hall, with folded arms, in the attitude of | Napoleon at Moscow, shouted out the ques- tion that rang far*above the clamor: “Is this a mutual association or not?” he yelled at the top of his voice. |" “It is not,” shouted Mr, Wolf, “or else the | directors could not have transferred us as they have done.” Mr. Mackey’s Remarks. Then ensued a period of comparative quiet and Mr. Mackey sald that he was heartily jin favor of the motion to appoint a com- mittee of investigation. “Rutg" he added, “I do not expect to get very much of my money back. I believe that it has gone into ns but I want to have the company vestigated and find out where thei hole ached to. Mr. Gardner, in bis circular, ays thac the company has since organiza |tion paid about a million dollars to the beneficiaries. Now, I want to know how | many of the dollars of the policy helders have been paid to the association. They can’t sell me to any other company. I have been sold once and I don’t propose to be sold again.” Again Mr. Staples’ plastering was en- dangered by the roar that went up from hundreds of sympathetle throats. This warmed Mr. Mackey up toa few further re- “It should be the duty of this com- he said, “to investigate the com- | pany from the granting of the charter | down to the present moment. We want to know what our rights are. If the associ tion is willing to show its hands and not hide in the dark this committee can get at the books and perhaps they can find out whether the officers have spent our re- served funds for their own uses. If this is )a stock company they cannot esc: per- formiag their contracts with us. When I went into the concern I undertook to pay my assessments regularly, and in consid- eration the association agreed to insure my Ife for $5,000. If I have performed my part faithfally, ought they not be willing and able to perform theirs? In the language of an eminent statesman, let us see where we are at. | w it It in Proposed to Do. | This relieved the strain of the indigna- tion of the policy holders somewhat and a | hearty laugh that followed cleared the at- | mosphere for Mr. Wolf to make a brief but |succinct statement of the condition of things, and to give the policy holders some | whe esome advice. “This committee,” he | said, “will solve the whole question and can |do more i» one day than this entire meet- |ing can do in a week. The committee will omorrow, I trust, gO to the offices of the association and demand access to the books, | which, I have no doubt, will be refused. A bill will thea be filed in court io compel the association to turn the books over to tae pert accountants on the committee for an exhsustive investigation. If this = na will, we can then all report as I hope t yw cilizens, in Whom we have trusted, | whom we have placed in charge of our af- fairs, have been worthy of our trust, wheth- jer they are honorable mea or have grossly deceived us.

What grieves most is that when these lirectcrs—this great president whom we have all trusted in the pas came aware of the condition of things they | did not consult us. We could have agreed then to stand an increase premium and | could have strengthened their hands to tide them over the difficulty. I had a similar experience with a Phila- delphia assessment compary, holding a policy for $5,000, The time came when the concern could not continue at the existing rates of premiums, and they made a plain proposition to me to transfer me to another company, one of the strorgest in the United States, and they offered me a policy reduced 32.500, They explained everything frankly to me, and, recognizing the force of their | arguments and the fairness of their proposi- ticn, I accepted the reduced amount. But I was consulted, and when it was over 1 felt no indignation about the transaction. That is where the fatai blunder has been made here. It may be past remedy, but it is not past finding out. The great injustice is that through the negligence of somebody a large number of men are now absolutely deprived of the chance of getting any more 1 "said Mr. Wolf, in conclusion, “let justice be done. If we have wronged any one let this committee say so. If we have been wronged let’s find it out. Let the ax fall where it will; we have paid for its sharpening and have a right to see it fall.” Talk of Reorganizing. Hats and umbrellas were waved in the air, A shout went up that might perhaps have been heard by President Gardner in the Pythian committee rooms down the street three or four blocks, where he was attending a meeting. The confusion reigned for several minutes, but at last strong- lunged Mr. Bartold made himself heard and suggested that a reorganization was still possible and that the association could be conducted on a very much cheaper plan. This inspired an individual who had as- sumed a seat on the platform among the reporters to spring to the front of the stage in an excited manner, waving a copy of the ‘Alliance policy. He declared that he sented a large class of German policy hold- ers, and he asked with choked utterance whether there was not sufficient evidence in the Alliance policy to indict every man con- nected with the conduct of the Endowment Association. This was near to the danger point. The crowd was in the mood for great | excitement, and a few suggestions like this might have caused trouble, but the calmer counsel of Mr. Wolf prevailed, and the in- dignant German policy holder was _ suaded to resume his seat. He continued, however, at Intervals to wave his policy aloft an@ to mutter imprecstions on. the | heads of the officers of the association. Mr. Darr sugsested that the committees | should be empowered to employ counsel, but | Mr. Wolf answered that the committee should have full power to do anything that | the situation demanded, and he thought that the convention of policy holders shout | guarantee to stand by the investigators, | some Seattering” Fire, | “This committee should be instructed,” | sail Mr. Darr, “to ask the stockholders | what they will take to sell their stock to the policy holders.”* “They have already sold it to the Com- mercial Alliance Company of New York,” outed a man from the rear of the hall, and again the anger of the people found vent in a mighty yell. The chairman plead- ed for order, but the policy holders were in |a very turbulent mood, and it was with great difficulty that Mr. Mann, still in his ‘apoleonic attitude against the radiator, Suggested that the committee should re- port progress to a second meeting of the policy holders. This was the signal for another outbreak, and it was very evident that those present were in no mood for d leys. What they wanted was action, quick, sharp and decisive. They felt that mass meetings could not accomplish the results of investigators. So Mr. Mann was greeted with a storm of “nocs” from ail parts of the hail. Mr. Fenwick arose to state his experience, and quoved from a letter re- ntly sent by him to the president of the eociation, in which he had said that he would demand full execution of the policy Another policy holder sprang from his seat and indignantly waved a copy of the Gardver circular in the air, shouting that it was absolutely worthless, that it was not signed by anybody. There was some dis- cussion as to how the committee of in- vestigators should be appointed, and vari- ous suggestions were offered, but before the matter was decidtd Mr. Wolf put the question on Mr. Miller’s motion to appoint the committee, and it was answered with a mighty yell of affirmation. It was unani- mously carried. The question then recurred as to the manner of appointing the coi mittee, and it was apparent that there was no doubt as to the willingness of the policy holders to allow the names to be selected by the chair. Mr. Woif protested aod urged that the meeting appoin. a committee of romination, but this was cried down. “The chairman of this meeting oug®t to be chairman of the committee,” yelled Mr. Mann. “No, no,” cried Mr. Wolf, but Mr. Darr made a brief speech and insisted on this proposition, and in another moment it had been decided without dissent that Mr. Wolf should be chairman ex-officio of the inves- tigating committee. Then ensued one of the most interesting episodes of the even ing. “Mt. Chairman,” called a man on the west side of the hall standing against t “I move that Mr. Robert Ball, who the affairs of this concern from top to bottom, be called on for a speech.” This brought forth more applause and cries for “Bob Bail! Bob Bali!” bd Mr. Ball Makes Charges. Mr. Ball ascended to the platform and quietly but earnestly told of his experiences in the association. merely came to the meeting,” he said, “to co-operate with my fellow policy holders to secure our rights. I was one of the organizers of this concern, in fact, I started it. My associates were Mr. Alexander Gardner and Mr. Noble D. Larner. We promised our friends that there would rot be more than thirteen as- sessments each year, and we carried out this promise faithfully. But of late days the association has steadily gone backward, and I say here now that any concern t is run with the neglect of @uty that ha: been shown in this affair will surely be wrecked as this has been wrecked.” Mr. Ball was interrupted by the approv- ing shouts of three hundred voices. He held up his hands for quiet and startled his hearers by this statement: “I accuse the officers of wrecking this association deliber- ately. I accuse the president, who was the secretary. That has been the effect of his running about and attending to everything else than that for which he is paid) Why talk of reviving the association? It is too late now. Where can we find the $40,000 or $5,000 of reserved funds that has been frit- tered away?” “Make "em disgorge,” yelled a voice from the gallery “Let us iad out,” continued Mr. Ball, “who is responsible for this trick that has taken our money. It,” he continued, hold- ing up one of the proposed new policies, “is the shallowest pretext ever presented to a sensible man. They tell me I can pay $40 or $0 a month for ten years and then get nothing. If I tried to tell you all I know about thie affair I could take the balance of the night. There is no use of talking; if we are lost, let us know it.” Mr. Ball's restraining hand covld not calm the tumult this time. He had hinted at untold secrets and this fired the crowd into cries of “Go on and tell the truth,” “Name the men,” “Tell us everything.” Then a voice came out asking fot advice bout the assessments due today, and Mr. Ball, who was seemingly the calmest man invitations of hig hearers to tell the tales at which he had hinted, but coolly answer- ed questions that were fired at him from all sides about the organization of the asso- clation into.the stock company, the forma- tion of the reserve fund, the notes of the en and other matters of a Ike im- pol The Committee. When the queries were all exhausted Mr. Ball stepped down from the platform and Mr. Wolf announced the committee of tn- vestigation, as follows: Experts—Mr. Henry F. Bauer of the Lin- coln Bank, Mr. Charles E. White of the Bank of Washington and Mr. F. Gieseking of the Central Bank. Lawyers—Mr. H. 0. Claughton, Mr. Franklin H. Mackey and Mr. William J. Miller. Citizens—Robert Ball, Horatio Browning and H. D. Norton; chairman, Simon Wolf. There was considerable discussion as to the question of how the funds for carrying on the war would be raised,.and Mr. An- thony Connolly suggested each member of the association should be taxed $1 to pay the expenses of the investigation. “If they can’t pay that,” he said, “they ought to be let off with nothing.” In a moment of con- fusion, however, it was voted that each pol- iey holder should be taxed one-tenth of the amount of his premium for the expenses of the investigation, but’ on motion of Mr. Darr this was reconsidered, and he said: “As we all expect to get the same benefits out of this inquiry, namely, nothing, we ought to pay the same amount.” “How many people do you suppose there are in this association?” asked Charlie Mann. “Nobody knows,” yelled a man in the rear of the hail. “Five thousand,” said another. The meeting then took an economical turn. Mr. Mann suggested an assessment of cents, and a man with a white beard wanted to make it a quarter, but Mr. Derr assured his friends that the committee would return any surplus to the policy hoild- ers, and the dollar assessment was carried almost unanimously. Mr. Horatio Browning was chosen treas- urer without a dissenting voice, and it was announced that he would receive the as- sessments at his place of business, 610 hy coe onngt nie abeeeeine en his stand the stage had adjourn- ed, and collected a good many dollars on the spot. Mr. Wolf gave notice that the in- Body of an Unknown Suicide Held for Friends. A man, believed to have been a resident of this city, ended his life in Maryland on the bank of Swan's creek, near Fort Wash- ington, ard his dead body was found there yesterday morning. Two empty bottles, which had evidently contained poison, told the story of the man’s last act. Just what particular kind of poison the bottles had contained is not known, but the liquid ac- complithed its work and left only the dead body of the man to tell the story. Justice Hatton held an inquest, and when the jury had decided that the unknown man had committed suicide the body was about to be put in @ pauper'’s grave, when Capt. Randall, hearing of the case, had the body put in @ ccffin and brought here, ‘hoping friends of the dead man would identify bis body. The man had undoubtedly gone down the river on one of the excursion steam- ers and had, perhaps, thought of jumping overboard, but having the poison, he went to a spot near the water's edge, where he supposed he mignt manage to get in the water, in the event of the drug failing to work. Undertaker J. William Lee took charge of the body and ts holding it in his estab- Ushment on Pennsylvania avenue for iden- tification. The body is that of a man ap- parently forty-five years oid, and he weigh- ed about 150 pounds. He had a heavy dark mustache, streaked with gray. A dark suit of clothes covered his body, and on the buttons is the makers’ name, Jam W. Parker & Co. The initials “A. G. C ere on his shirt. On a pair of spectacies found in his pocket is engraved “Scotty,” and his hat was bought from Saks & Co. The body is being held at Lee's for identi- fication.
