the factory and break tho machinery.
The Beginning.
Mr. Spreckles statod that he had be
come acquainted with graft and Its
methods by buying Into tho corpora

but was unable to do anything until
he wrote to all the stockholders and
camo Into a meeting with proxies
enough to put every corrupt' man off
tho board. This, ho said, was what
