F0RTY-1TFTII YEAIL FELL INTO A T The Secretary of the State Liquor Dealers' Asso ciation Worked . BY A PROHIBITION ORGAN. He Described How and Why the Wets I Were Successful in the BIG FIGHT IN PENNSYLVANIA. Arguments Which Troved to Have the Host Potent Influence. A GEKEEAL DENIAL AT ONCE ENTERED A representative of the Toice, the Prohi bition organ, interviewed H. P. Crowell, of Philadelphia, Secretary of the State Liquor Dealers' Association. He represented him self as a Nebraskan, who wanted to find out how to beat the prohibitory amendment. According to the Fotce Crowell gave him the whole inside story of the Pennsylvania campaign, using names and figures in a Very reckless manner. lErECIAL TZLEGBAtf TO THE DISrATCH.1 Sew Yokk, April 1. In its issue of April 3. the J'oice, the Prohibition organ published by Funk & Wagnalls, will re Veal what purports to be the modus operandi by which the Pennsylvania liquor dealers managed to defeat, last summer, an amend ment to the Constitution of that State pro hibiting liquor selling. It is in the form of an interview with H. P. Crowell, of Phila delphia, Secretary of the Liquor Dealers' State Executive Committee, and the mana ger of its campaign. The interview was brought about through & "party of the name of Johnson" writing a decoy letter from Lincoln, Neb., in which he, by implication, represents himself as anxious to dereat the pending prohibition amendment, and asks Mr. Crowell for the benefit of his experience in conducting a campaign in the liquor interests. A CONFIDENTIAL BErLY. Mr. Crowell in reply, marked "Confi dential" after telling him, among other things, to get the politicians and news papers on his side, sas he could tell him more in three hours in a personal interview than he could write in a week. According ly Colonel It. S. Cheves, of this city, a re porter of the Voice, called on Mr. Crowell in the guise of a friend of Johnson, and as equally anxious to beat prohibition in Ne braska. According to the Colonel's account of the interview 3fr. Urowell told him first how the sinews of war were obtained by assessing the brewers, retailers, the big hotels and others with whom they bad dealings. A fund ot $200,000 was thus raised and ex pended by the State Committee. SOME TECULIAE ADMISSIONS. In response to Colonel Cheves' questions as to the disposal of this campaign fund, Mr. Crowell made the following admis sions, which the Voice prints inconspicuous type: "Such State leaders as 'Bill' Leeds, Charlie Porter, who is chairman of the City Republican Committee, Cooper and 'Dave Martin and others, and a lot of Democratic leaders we paid &500 apiece, and $200 apiece to local leaders and $5 apiece to men who worked and manned the polls on the day of elections." "Did yen pay Quay any money?" "Ves, for three years he bled us, and our contributions to him came very near beat ing us at the polls. It was reported that we contributed money to defeat Cleveland, and the Democrats got hold of it and a plan was on foot to have the Democratic vote cast for the amendment as a punishment to the Re publican brewers of the State, and it would have succeeded if I had not 'fixed' the boys, but it cost ns a big pile of money to do so. BOTH MACHINES WERE WORKED. "We had all the workers on our side and the machines of both old parties were vith us. "We p3id the County Commissioners of this county to let us have the poll list ex clusively for our use. with the understand ing that we were not to return the list until after the election. So the Prohibitionists, with no window books, no money and no organization, had no show whatever against us." When asked how he secured the support of so many newspapers Mr. Crowell is rep resented as saying: "I visited the editors in person, or had some good man to do so, and arranged to pay each paper for its sup port a certain amount of money. Through out the State we paid weekly papers from 550 to 5500 to publish such matter as we might furnish, either news or editorial, but the city daily papers we had to pay from 1,000 to 54,000. which latter amount was paid to the Times, of this city. Other papers we could not buy straight ont, con sequently we had to pay from 30 to CO cents per line for all matter published for us ac cording to the circulation and ability of the paper. "We paid the Ledger 40 cents per line and the Record we paid 60 cents per line, though it aid some good work for us for nothing. EFFECTIVE ARGUMENTS. "The most effective matter we could get up in the influencing of votes was that prohibi tion did not prohibit, and the revenue of taxation, and how prohibition would hurt the farmers. "We would have these articles printed in different papers, and then buy thousands of copies of the paper and send them to the farmers. If yon work the farmers on the tax question you catch them every time." According to the Fbice, Mr. Crowell also told how he "worked" the preachers, whom he denominates cowards, through members of their congregations. His tactics were not to dc.end saloons, but to argue in favor of high license as better than prohibition to really restrict their number. The liquor dealers were 550,009 in debt when the campaign closed, Mr. Crowell is .A...'..... ..... ,.., J-iiTTMry, BJjMsBBBJjjlBBJIBBBBBBIHIIBIBBBBBIIBB Mil , Tin nin n -mi - .ss'JBl'Bsl'ssnssl'rsssWl.s'sssPssW represented as confessing, in conclusion, but the committee made an appeal to the rank and file and settled oil claims. CROWELL DENIES IT ALL. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: "The DisrATCH correspondent hunted up Mr. Harry P. Crowell, formerly Secretary of the Brewers' Association, of this city, and showed him a synopsis of the alleged interview with him to be published in the Foic3 on Thursday, in which Mr. Crowell makes statements regarding the campaign against prohibition last year. He carefully read through the alleged interview and then said: "This is the first I ever heard of this. It is totally untrue. I never said the things attributed to me here nor any thing like them." He added: "This is not the first time such things have been falsely printed as coming from me." Before seeing Mr. Crowell, the corre spondent found Colonel A K. McClure, editor in chief of the Times, and Mr. Frank McLaughlin together, dininc with Mr. Charles PotK They both said they doubted that Crowell had made the statements at tributed to him by the loice, but added: "If he has made them, they are absolutely false so far as the Times is concerned, and we believe they are untrue as to the other Philadelphia papers." Mr George W. Childs, proprietor of the PuMic Ledger, and Mr. "William V. Mc Kean, editor in chief, were found at their residences to-night. They both pronounced the Voice story a vile lie so far as it related to the Ledger. Mr. William M. Singerly, editor and proprietor of the Record, in his usual terse and vigorous style, said the story was an absolute and unqualified falsehood so far as it related to the .Record. Senator Quay was shown the dispatch to night As he read it over, he said: "It is a lie. It is beneath notice." A TEIPLE ELOPEMENT.

The party took a train for Binghamton, but while looking around for a minister there, they heard that the city police were on their track,having received instructions from their friends at home to arrest and bold them. The runaways got safely aboard an out going train and went on to Upper Lisle. Hero they left the cars and went t' the Methodist parsonage, where the Rev. Georce F.

Then the runaways got back to Homer; the friends of the first named couple submitted to the inevitable and forjrav o the escapade, lint the mother of Miss Cole went before a magis trate and swore that the girl was under 12 j ears of age, and had Johnson arrested for abduction.

In 1SS7 the company reduced its capital stock from fJO to J3S per share, returning tho differ ence to its shareholders. John G. Johnson and M. E. Olmstead, on behalf of the company, contended that this was merely a reduction of capital and not taxable, while J. C. McAlarney, special counsel for the Commonwealth, argued that it was to be treated as a dividend, and made the company subject to a tax of abont $23,000. The Commonwealth subpoenaed as witnesses F. Weckerly. Secretary of tho company, and Evans Morris, II. Richards Muckle, Frank S. Milne and William H. Lucas, directors. Mr. Weckerlv and Mr. McMenaman (a stockholder) were called upon to testify. The Secretary read at great length from the minutes of the company to how that the transaction was a reduction of capital stock aDd not a dividend.

Sensntlonal Reports Sent Out In R.ccnrd to the Flood In Mississippi The Author ities Abundantly Able to Pro vide for llio Saflerers. Greenville, Miss., April 1. The situation has been very wet here for the past 21 hours. The heavy rain of last night rnd all or to-day has made things very disagreeable, in addition to the en croachment of the back water in tho northern portion of the city. The water has not spread much since last night. In the center of the town is a high ridge, which was was formerly tho bank of Rattlesnake bayou; this ridgo runs east and west for a distance, when it takes a southeasterly conrsc, until the bayou appears and makes a good drain for the water in the eastern part of the town. It is now flowing over tbe tracks of the Louis ville, Now Orleans and Texas Railroad, thereby preventing the water from spreading very much in the town. At one place above tbe town it is higher on tho inside than tho levee and the witer is runnins over the levee into the river. No lives have been lost and tho stock is saved. To-day the Mayor appointed a committee to look after and ciro for those who may bo in distress in tho overflowed portions of the city, the city authorities feeling abundantly able to provide for any who mv be in want. The members of the Cotton Exchange held a meet ing to-dav at their rooms, which was largely attended by the members and citizens gener ally. This meeting was called by the Cotton Evchanco to take action In the matter of con tradicting the false and sensational reports, which hail been sent out from hero to the prc's, and to private individuals, which were alarming and without foundation. The Exchange sent a special to tho Associated Press which was simed by the Exchange, bankers and merchants. This action was timely and proper, as the condition here is not as bad a' it would seem to be to the outside world. Should the flood piss off in 30 days a good crop can be made, which has been the case in nearly all jears of overflow. Should this section be blessed with a good cotton crop, the effect of the overflow would not be felt six months hence. WORSE MIXED THAN ETER.

A BUCKET SHOP B0IC0TT. Another Attempt to Freeze Ont the Small Fly speculators. lEPECIAl. TELEGRAM TO IBS DISPAT0II.1 St. Louis, April 1- A new regime was inaug urated on the Merchants' Excnango and in the bucket shops this morning owing to the with drawal of the Chicago official quotations. On the Merchants' Exchange tho New York quota tions were substituted for those of Chicago, and this course will be pursued ill future. The greatest interest is centered in the bucket shops, as upon" their ability or inability to ob tain quotations from Cbicaco depends the fail ure or success of tho move made by tho Board of Trade of that city. To-day afforded no test, as, owing to the election in progress in Chicago, no quotations were made. The proprietors of the bucket shops declare thattbey will have no difficulty in furnishing the Chicago markets to their customors. They will, of course, lack tho official stamp, but the bucket shops will be no worse oil than the rest of the couu'iy in this respect, and they most positively assert their ability to obtain and post accurate information of every change in, the market and to givo continuous quotations as steadily as if no boycott had been declared.

He began it by breakfast, about 9 a. 31., with his son Kichard, Judge Theophilus Wilson, of Clarion county, and General William Lilly, of blanch Chunk. Collector Cooper put in an appearance at the breakfast tabic later on, but refused to eat anything, saying he had but just left his own table, and only desired a few minutes talk with the National Chairman.

Shelmire, Select Council man Houseman and Magistrate Durham gathered in room 23, to await his coming. HE CALLS ON HASTINGS. "When Senator Quay returned to his room he greeted his callers pleasantly, but, ex cusing himself on the plea of urgent busi ness, ordered a carriage, at the same time informing the visiting party he would re turn by noon. On the way to his carriage Senator Quay encountered Collector Martin, and tho two remained a few moments in whis pered consnltation, when Senator Quay left and gave ordors to his driver to take him down to the business center of the city, where he spent at least an hour attending to private busi ness matters, after which he drove to the Lafayette Hotel, where General Hastings, can didate for the Republican nomination for Gov ernor, was in waiting, and tho two remained in conference for nearly two hours, after which Senator Quay returned to tho hotel. Both of the parties to tho conference refused to talk for publication, but enough was learned to authoritatively announce that Gen eral Hastings will continue to prosecute his canvass for Governor, and that he had no thought of accepting the appointment of Assistant Secretary of War. General Hast ings' friends insist that ho could have tho position if he desired it, bnt they say he has positively mado up his mind to refuse the tender of it even though it should be made. Many of his friends are anxious for him to openly declare himself in the fight to stay and tho belief is that such a statement will be forthcoming in a very few days. When asked upon bis return if he were yet committed to any candidate for Governor, Senator Quay replied negatively, adding: "I have not taken any part for any candidate." When asked regarding the condition of tho party organization in the State, be replied- "I thinK the'Renublican party in Pennsylvania is in first rate shape.

A PEETINENT QUESTION. Proceeding to the dining room the conversa tion on political matters was continued, and after somo little by-play, and an evident desire on tho pirt of each to wait for the other to open np tho subject of the nomination for Governor, Mayor Fitler broke tho ice by asking the Sen ator whom he thought would secure tbo nomi nation. Senator Quay replied that be had taken no part-in the contest himself, but re marked that a large number of tbe delegates so far elected were in favor of Delamater's nomi nation. Mayor Fitler admitted that the signs of tbe times pointed to the nomination of the man from Crawford, but intimated that tho main reason why the election of Dclamatcr delegates was dailv going on was because of a belief that Senator Quay favored his nomination. Senator Quav reiterated that lie was in no way interfer ing in tbe contest, and after some few further remarks they parted, with tbe understanding that they were to meet again prior to the time of holding the primary elections in this city. William H. Andrews, Chairman of tho Re publican State Committee, who is occupying room 24 at the Continental Hotel, which is ust across tho corridor from Senator Quaj's room, received quite a number of callers to-day.

Not a Shadow of Truth in Quay's Candidacy for Governor. rrnoM a staff cobkespondbut. i Washington, April L A statementcoming from Pittsburg to-day in effect that Represen tative Townsend, of the Beaver district, had given out the assurance that Senator Quay had said to him that he might bo a candidate for Governor in certain contingencies, created some gossip in Pennsylvania political circles. The correspondent of The Dispatch sought Mr. Townsend to learn tho truth in regard to the statement, and that gentleman entered bis emphatic denial. The Senator never said one word to me," said Mr. Townsend, "nor to anyone in my hearing from which it could be inferred that ho contemplated being a candidate for Governor. All that I know on the subject is what I have seen iu the newspapers and hare so said when I have been questioned by our friends." It can be said from more direct authority than even that of Senator Quay's friend, Townsend. that tbe whole party of the Sena tor's candidacy for the Governorship is simply idiotic, manufactured out of the'whole cloth by those whose abilities are equal to only such petty stories. Their never was a shadow of truth in the stuff. THE WOMAN'S TICKET Makes Election Contest In Kansas De cidedly Interesting Mrs. Jnckion, of Emporia, Wins on nn In dependent Platform. Topeka, April 1.

The much mooted question as to whether ex-Senator UWallace will be a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for Governor is settled, as the following correspondence will show: Allestows, March 29. W. A. Wallace, Clearfield, Pa.: My Dear Senator There is so much un certainty about your reported candidacy for Governor that I concluded to write you upon the subject. I think the question shonld bo settled at once. The interests of the party in this State imperatively require it. Your political and personal friends are agreed that you should in some way signify your willing ness to accept the nomination if it is tendered you by the convention. While I fully appre ciate tbo strong reasons that may induco you to hesitate, I as firmly think it is your duty to subordinate mere personal considerations to what is manifestly for the best interests of the Democratic party. The party has made prom ises of reform in government and has shown in THE ADMIRABLE ADMINISTRATION of Mr. Cleveland that it has tbe integrity to keep them. The defeat of 188S has not dis couraged us; it has only intensified the purpose of the party to carry out these pledges. You are known to be heartily in accord with both the principles and policy of tbe party. You are recognized as a repre sentative of what Is best in it There fore your friends look to you to accept tbe nomination for Governor, and by capable and aggressive le'adership to so organize tho party that Pennsylvania may be numbered among tho Democratic States. Will yon allow the use of your name ? A refusal on your part will disappoint verv many of your friends in this section of the State. Respectfully, Edward Harvey. Clearfield, March 31, 1S90. Edward Harvey, Allentown, Pa.: Dear Sir I am in receipt of your letter of the 29th inst. and I thank yon for its kind termi and its frankness. I recognize yonr right as a personal and political friend to a di rect answer to tho question you propound. I am not a noisy or aggressive candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Penn svivania. for I appreciate tho dignity of the plice and tbe labors and the risks that nomination involves. Still I would be proud to lead a united and harmonious party in a struggle for good government, for progressive reform and for political supremacy in our good old State. If. therefore, tbe Democratic State Convention shall with any reasonable degree of unanimity nominate me as its candidate for Governor upon such a platform of principles I will accept the nomination and try to be elected. Very trnlv yours. William A. Wallace." looking after his tences. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: Senator "Wallace arrived in this city to-day and regis tered at tbe Continental Hotel.

It was said to-day that tbe Republican managers fear Wallace's organizing abilities, and that they would like him defeated for tbe nomination. ALL TICKERS WILL STOP.

The Judges nave no speak-easy list to con fuse them in Northside applications. Ko 3Ir. Bing has yet appeared, either, to vary the monotony of the trans-AHeghenian pro ceedings. Sisty applicants from Allegheny were heard yesterday, nearly all Germans. In Pittsburg a large part of tbe list was made np of Irish names, but this is not the case in Allegheny. There are 234 applicants in the NonlisMe city, and at the rate of 60 a day there will be yet three good days' work for tbe court To-dav there will be heard the last 17 of tbe Third ward and the first 43 of the Fourth.

Judge Ewing responded: "There wasn't a house in that neighbor hood that was properly represented to the Court. In every case the condition of affairs was falsified. I have had occasion to pass through there since the hearings." The first applicant called in the First ward of Allegheny, was William Booth, a very large man, lame and walking with a cane. His place is at No. 78 Eobinson street. Among other things, Mr. Booth was asked by Judge Ewing if he did not know of any speak-easies in his neighborhood. At first he said he did not know ot any, bnt when the Judge told him that ho was entirely too unsophisticated, he confessed that he had heard that beer was sold at No. 69 Kobinson street. He said that was ail ho knew, but tbe Conrt smiled sarcastically. Attorney Marron said: "My client has been minding his own business. It is not his business to hunt np speak-easies. The constable of that ward knows more about such places tban any man in the ward, and says less." "I think that descrip tion fits your client," said Judge Ewing. Fred Beuchler, wbo has a licensed saloon at No. 35 West Diamond street, was given a brief and easy catechism. John J. Daucberty, formerly an employe of the Westinchouse Airbrake Company and now keeping a cigar and confectionery store at No. C9 Lacock street, asks for a liquor license. HE DOES UOT DKIXK.

"Oh, no," said the applicant, laughing; "just once." "How much beer does It take to run a wed dinc at your house?" "Oh. just a quarter of a barrel." -"That wouldn't run a very big wedding?' "No, bnt they were small parties." He promised to withdraw hl3 wholesale ap plication. Daniel C.

Mrs. Amelia Hoizinger. of tho Ninth ward, Allegheny, applies for a license at No. 145 South avenue. Jndgo Magee said that the bouse had a bad reputation, but Mrs. Holzinger said she would keep a good place. "It wonld take one of the strongest of men to keep a good bouse there," said Judge Ewing, "and then he could not do it. I know that a saloon is not needed there." William HolTman, applying for No. 73 Federal street, was licensed in 1383 and refused in 18S9. He has conducted the house for ten years. Ho had recommendations from ex-Mayor Louis Peterson, Jr..
