THE WEATHER For St. Paul and Vicinity—Fair. For Minnesota —Fair Wednesday and Thursday; fresh west winds. VOL. XXVII.—NO. 209 FATAL DISTURBANCES ATTEND CHICAGO STRIKE Wounds Are Received by a Striker and an Outsider —Differences Show No Signs of Being Adjusted— Packers Claim They Will Soon Have Enough Men to Do All the Work —Teamsters Also Resolve to Strike ' CHICAGO, July 26. —The sympathetic strike at the stock yards will be com plete tomorrow morning. The belated snnction to the teamsters joining their brother workmen in tlie general strike Mas given tonight by the officers of the International Teamsters' union, and the 700 drivers employed in the pack ing Industry in Chicago will quit work tomorrow. Nearly 100 of these men struck today of their own volition, re fusing to wait for an additional order notifying them that the sympathetic strike was indorsed. With the union teamsters out every union organization represented in the Chicago packing plants will be on strike. The teamsters' organization is considered one of the most important organizations in the present contro versy and all along was mainly de pended upon to bring success to the strikers. Last Sunday the men at a meeting of their union voted almost unanimously to strike on Monday with the other allied trades unions, but the lioint council of teamsters' union re lused to ratify the decision, so there was nothing left for the men to do but remain at work or quit as individuals. The objection to taking the latter course was that if they should do so they would be without the support of the national union of teamsters. International Officers Consent Another meeting of the joint council •was hold tonight, when it was report ed that the men would quit work sin gly. After a long discussion the desir ed indorsement of the council was granted. The international officers of ihe union were immediately communi cated with at Indianapolis and they gave their sanction to the men joining the sympathetic strike. The greater portion of the fresh meats disposed of to the local trade is huuled in wagons to the down-town district by these teamsters. With the men on strike and non-union men in their places rioting is almost sure to follow and a duplication of the riots which took place in 1902 during the packing house teamsters* strike is looked for as soon as the packers at tempt to deliver their product with non-union help. Riots by the unionists and their friends in the stock yards district to night resulted in the shooting of one man and the beating of another into insensibility, while a third was severe- PANAMA IS TRICKED Serious Friction With the Uni ted States Threatened Special to The Globe PANAMA, July 26.—The discontent among leading merchants of Panama and Colon over the establishment of United States custom houses in the canal zone is growing. The situation is considered serious, as it may result in friction between the two govern ments. One of the leading officials of Panama declares Panama was tricked in many ways, as the treaty was so artfully phrased that it could- be inter preted in almost any way the United States saw fit. TAWNEY IS ASKED TO HIRE SPELLBINDERS But He !s Not Sure He' Will Have the Time to Spare Globe Special Washington Service 1417 G Street WASHINGTON, D. C, July 26— Chairman Cortelyou, of the Republican national committee, has asked Repre sentative Tawney, of Minnesota, to take charge of the speaker's bureau for this campaign. The chief of that bu reau hires all the spellbinders and ar ranges their routes and it takes about all a man's time to do this. Therefore, Mr. Tawney is not sure that he will ac cept the offer. He is a member of the executive committee of the congres sional campaign committee and does not know just what he will have to do in that capacity. He has written Chair man Babcock, of the congressional committee, and will give Mr. Cortelyou a definite answer when he hears from the 'Wisconsin member. —Walter E. Clark. SETTLEMENT WITH TURKEY IS REACHED United States Seems Not to - Have Made Demands in Vain VIENNA, July 26.—According to a private telegram from Constantinople the council of ministers has held two sittings for the purpose of considering the old demands of the United States government regarding American edu cational institutions in Turkey, and also the question of raising the Tur kish legation at Washington and the American legation at Constantinople to the position of embassies. The tele gram states that a settlement of both questions has been reached and that the sultan will receive Mr. Leishman; the American minister, next Friday.

This is believed by the police to be but a foretaste of what is to come, now that the team sters have joined issues with the other union workmen. No Sign of Adjustment CHICAGO, July 26.—Little if any advantage was gained by either side in the stock yards strike today, and there is no hope tonight of any immediate settlement of the difficulty. Realizing that they have one of the hardest propositions to contend with in the history of the packing industry, the packers are leaving nothing undone to gain the upper hand in the struggle with their 30,000 union employes who are on strike. All day workmen from outside points were rushed to Chicago and taken to the stock yards under po lice protection to fill the places of the strikers. Tonight it was announced by the packers that 7,000 new men were now installed at the stock yards. With these men and with the new arrivals that are expected each day the pack ers expect to get their affairs in such shape that the strikers will be com pelled to seek a truce in the hostilities arid a peaceable settlement tit the dic tation, of the employers. Although the receipts of live stock today were small compared with re ceipts on corresponding, days under normal conditions, still many cattl?. hogs and sheep were left in the pens tonight unsold. Few Teamsters Out With all the union workmen out on strike with the exception of the pack ing house teamsters, the only addi tions today to the ranks of the strikers were about 100 teamsters who quit work as individuals, preferring to do this rather than wait for an official order to walk out, and the waitresses in the restaurants at the stock yards controlled by the packing companies. The teamsters have become restless. and the general belief is that few if any of the 700 employed in the packing industry will wait «for the sanction of the international officers of the union to go on strike. Rumors of renewed efforts to settle the difficulty by arbitration were thick today, but were without foundation. When questioned regarding the situa tion tonight, Michael J. Donnelly, president of the butchers' union said: "I have no hope of an immediate set- Continued on Sixth Page ACCUSEPOSTMASTER He Is Said to Have Worked Green Goods Scheme CLARKSBURG, W. Va., July 26.— Thomas W. Tichenal, alias O. S. Gun dale, postmaster at Pleasant Hill, Pres ton county, West Virginia, was lodged in jail here today by Postoffice In spector Edward I. Allen charged with working a bold green goods scheme. In his position as postmaster, Tichenal is charged with sending circular let-: ters through the mails claiming that he had been an engraver in the treasury department at Washington and pro posing to sell bank notes at $1 for $10 worth of the spurious money. The ar rest is of national importance, as his correspondence shows names of people in all parts of the country who were willing to circulate counterfeit money. Find Microbe of Malaria WASHINGTON, D. C, July 26.—1n a report to the state department, Consul Plumacher, at Maracaibo, Venezuela, says that two doctors of Medellin, Co lombia, announce that they have dis covered the true microbe .of malaria, and that it can be cultivated in medi ums prepared with flowers of erythrina umbrosa ducara.

Indorsed by nearly every mem ber of the committee the day after the convention adjourned at St. Louis, it has been known ever since that only the decree of Judge Parker in favor of some other man, or the consent of Senator Gorman to accept the place, could prevent the nomination of Mr. Taggart. Neither of these contingen cies arose and the Indiana man was unanimously chosen Jto a place for which he long has had aspirations. Although the vote was unanimous, it was not until after it was actually in progress that opposition to Mr. Tag gart's selection was withdrawn. Be ginning with the return to Senator Gorman, ex-Senator Hill, former Sen ator Jones and other Democratic lead ers from Esopus last evening, and last ing up to the moment when the com mittee was called to order today, the strongest possible effort was made to bring Senator Gorman into the field or to arrange a combination that would place some one besides Taggart at the head of the committee. Taggart's Men Stand Firm Almost continuous conferences were held, intimations of great financial ad vantages to the party were made and many expedients were suggested, even to delaying the election until after the committee's visit to Judge Parker to morrow, in order to defeat Taggart. But nothing could change the deter mination of his friends to force an election today and to compel a show of strength. Failing to secure the nec essary conditions to defeat Taggart, the opposition yielded and the pro ceedings of the committee were brief and harmonious.- The contest for the other offices cre ated only a slight diversion and dif ferences regarding them, which have been somewhat spirited for a few days past, were easily adjusted. The most important action of the committee aside- from the selection of a chairman was that of arranging for a committee or committees to manage the campaign. A proposition submit ted by William F. Sheehan, slightly modified upon the suggestion of Sen ator Bailey, was adopted. Under the resolution Chairman Taggart will se lect campaign managers. It is taken for granted that he will be the chair man of the executive committee, as that custom is always followed. Probable Committee Members A.fter the adjournment of the com mittee there were consultations among the leaders and the names of several men were mentioned as likely to be on the committees. Among those men tioned were William F. Sheehan, of New Toik; Arthur P. Gorman, of Maryland; August Belmont, of New York; David B. Hill, of New York; James M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania; John T.

BODY OF MURDERED nil is nun It Is Discovered Buried at Foot of Tree and His Daughter's Remains Probably Near Special to The Globe BEMID.TI, Minn., July 26.—The body OT"N7'o. Dahl, who, together with his daughter. Miss Aagot, disappeared from their claim on section 33, range 151, town 32, two miles from Quiring postoffice, this county, about April 9, was found today by James Caldwell, a neighbor. The body was found thirty rods from the cabin, buried under a tree. It is believed that the body of Miss Aagot is buried there also, the finder making no further search, but immediately notified the coroner, who, with the sheriff and county attorney, left for the scene of the double mur der to make further investigation. The case has attracted wide atten tion on account of the mystery. Dahl was a former wealthy Crookston mer chant, while the daughter was a popu lar Polk county teacher, who came to this section a year ago and filed on a very valuable timber claim north of Black Duck. The father came over on a visit in April and was reported to carry a con siderable sum of money with him, and the last seen of father and daughter was three days after the latter's ar rival, when they called at the Quiring postoffice for their mail. The couple were not missed until a month later, neighbors being few and far between in that country. Failure to receive answers to letters aroused Crookston relatives, who made inquiries and in stituted a search for the missing with out result, and $500 was offered for the bodies. Ten day* ago Gov. Van Sant offered a $500 reward for the ap prehension of the murderer and the county offered an additional $500, making a total of $1,500 in rewards offered to date. The past week the Dahl homestead has been searched from end to end by different parties, including detectives from the Twin Cities and Chicago. Caldwell, who unearthed Dahl's body, is a homesteader, however, and lives on the adjoining quarter section. The authorities have parties under surveil lance, who are believed to have been implicated and no arrests were made for the reason that it would be neces sary to find the bodies in order to se cure evidence on which to convict. SAYS AGE FOR GIRLS TO MARRY IS 24 BALTIMORE, Md., July 26. — Gov. Edwin Warfield has aroused a stir among femininity by stating that twenty-four is the proper age at which a girl should marry. He made the statement In addressing the graduates of the Wilmington high school recently, and today followed it up with the fol lowing interview: "If asked the age when girls should marry I should say twenty-four. That was the age of Mrs. Warfield when I married. I was thirty-six. I have said to my daughters that I should not give my consent to their marrying until they arrive at that age. "Marriage for the purpose of settling a daughter in life is, as a rule, a failure and an unhappy one. No parent, and especially no true and loving mother, will wish to push her daughter into matrimony before she is fully matured and fitted for the grave responsibilities of married life. Young girls just out of school are not equipped for the ordi nary household duties of wives and for the cares and trials of motherhood. They should, after leaving school, spend some time with their parents, giving their parents the pleasure of their* companionship and learning something of everyday work that will be theirs as wives."

PETERSBURG, July 26.— The statement that the Vlad ivostok squadron is now eastward of, the island of Formosa is somewhat astonishing. .This report comes from a Russian correspondent who is peculiarly well situated to have definite information regarding the doings of the squadron, but it will be remembered that just prior to the last sortie of the Rus sian cruisers from Vladivostok this correspondent wired that they would be detained for a long time for repairs, which was palpably a blind to cover the real movements Some snnilar reason may be back of the present statement as to the whereabouts of the fleet. BURNED BY RUSSIANS Special Cable to The Globe NEW-CHWANG, July 26.—Yesterday Russian infantry burned to the ground Wutaitze, the Russian settlement at New-ehwang. Its destruction was watched by thousands of Chinese, many of whom were rich but who have lost heav ily by the destruction of their property and cessation of trade. Five thousand Japanese troops are marching toward New-ehwang along the Kaiehou road. The Russian com mercial flag is waving over the Russian administration build ing, and the government will be handed over to the Japanese. During the battle near Tatehechiao there was no rifle fire.'

J JAPS ENTER NEW-CHWANG PARIS, July 26.—The Yin Kow correspondent of the Matin says that the Japanese entered New-chwang at 5 o'clock in the morning and hauled down the Russian com mercial flag, which had been substituted for the military standard on the residence of the governor. The Japanese standard was hoisted, the Chinese flag flying from the neigh boring buildings and the custom houses. The consular authorities had taken precautions to insure the safety of the European residents who were armed. The Russians who refused to follow the retreat have been cut off.

RUSSIANS IN BAD SHAPE LONDON, July 27.—Special dispatches from the far East printed in this morning's newspapers confirm the news of the Japanese occupation of New-chwang, but do not give any further details of the fighting. According to the Tien Tsin correspondent of the Standard, a foreigner who has arrived there from Mukden describes the conditions existing in the Russian camp as deplorable. The troops, he says, are badly supplied with provisions and the officers are indulging in pleasurable pursuits. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Mail learns that twelve torpedo boats intended for Vladivostok were among the war materials sent by rail from St. Petersburg during the past week, as well as secret freight, probably consisting of submarine vessels. He hears that forty torpedo boats will be sent by this avenue of transportation to Vladivostok.
