CUT HIS OWN THROAT.
Etrike Breaker BeJieved That He Was
Marked for Slugging.
Chicago, May 16. Bricklayers' hall,
chief labor headquarters in Chicago
and meeting place for the Federation
of Labor has been invaded by police.
Lleven men were arrested who had
taken refuse in the building after a
nonunion driver had been "slugged."
Fear that he would meet the same
fate as C J. Caristrom, the wood
worker, who was killed, it is alleged,
by "sluggers" has led John Mitter
man, to kill himself. Mitterman cut
his throat with a razor while standing
In the street opposite his dwelling. He
died two hours later at a hospital, rav
ing against the unions. Mitterman
up to and after the time of the strike
was in the employ of Fred L. Meikel
in whose shop Caristrom worked. He
was one of the men on the list of
those to be "slugged" of whom Cari
strom was the first.
The fact that he was to met the fate
of Caristrom so prayed upon Miner
man's mind that he sent a letter to
Mr. Meikel a week ago. saying that
be had been followed by "sluggers"
and was in fear of his life.
An investigation is being made by
the police.
Pat McMahon, president of the Ter
ra Cotta Sand and Brick Teamsters'
union, has partially recovered from a
blow on the head with a "black jack,"
supposedly administered by "sluggers"
hired by another faction of the team
sters. McMahon says he will continue
his fiirht against the policy of Presi
dent Shea in the present strike as he
had been doing.
George Tallman and Henry Xeals.
colored men attacked by a mob of
strike sympathizers at Fourteenth
and State streets today, were rescued
by the police. The negroes had
driven teams for the Employers'
Teaming company and were severely
beaten. Big consignments of new strike
breakers arrived in Chicago today re
cruited in Louisville, Evansville and
other river towns. '
Nearly a score of whites deserted
after they reached the city, declaring
thfy were not told that there was a
Ftrike on here. T. C. Bakers, one of
the deserters, complained that the
two passenger cars in which they were
brought here were locked during the
entire trip.
More than 100 messenger boys em
ployed by the Postal Telegraph com
pany paraded the streets today. The
boy strikers occupied themselves
chiefly in shouting at nonunion team
sters. ,

Mrs. Doud Charged $1.15 Storage on
50-Cent Sack of Feed.
Mrs. Kffis L. Doud, of Chetopa, La
bette county, thinks that the Missouri
Pacific has given her the worst of it
on storage charges on a sack of
chicken feed which she ordered from
Des Moines. The chicken feed cost
her about 50 cents, and the storage
on the feed in the Chetopa freight
depot cost $1.15.
Mrs. Doud says that she repeatedly
inquired of the rfeight agent whether
her package had come, and he as
often assured her that it had not.
Finally he sent her a notice that it
had been in the depot 2 3 days, and
he proceeded to collect 5 cents storage
for each day. She wants the state
board of railroad commissioners to say
whether she can't make the railroad
company pay back her money.

A MOTHER OX FRATERNITIES.
Criticises the Action of Those Who
Would Suppress Them.
Chicago, May 16. With the dual
desire of getting away from neighbors
who annoy with piano playing and
singing, and of living a life which he
can fashion as he chooses, Oskar Eck
stein, an instructor in chemical re
search at the University of Chicago,
has deserted the neighborhood of Mid
way Plaisance and now is living in a
fisherman's hut one the shore of Lake
Michigan, where he prepares his own'
food, chooses his companions from the
few fishermen that live near by and
wears the greater part of time a
simple bathing costume.
Dislike for conventions of all kinds
and a wish to be allowed to live his
own existence in his own way these
are the influences which had led the
scientist to leave his nleasnnt nnflrt.
ments for the lonely house beside the ' yas tnaj wouia control the boys he would
A mother who is a staunch friend of the
fraternities and sororities organized by
the high school students, In a communica
tion to the State Journal, says:
"Some of the ladies who attended the
meeting of infuriated mothers were justi
fied in so doing because they went to de
fend their sons and daughters, while some
otturs would be excused for their presence
because, I understand, they did not know
tae nature of the meeting or the frame of
mind some of the mothers were-in. 1 am
sorry I can not think of some excuse for
the rest who were there, for I think tne
meeting was certainly most unfortunate,
and something every mother should re
gret. All matters could have been easily
and quickiv regulated without any of this
tumultuous upheaval, but there are those
who still take a club instead of a feather
to knock a ily off, and some mothers never
learn that a grain of tact is worth a ton
o force; that they may lead their chil
dren, but they can never drive them, and
that opposition never wrought any real
good in dealing with young people.
"The boys learned of the secret meeting
about as soon as the mothers heard of it,
and by noon the day of the meeting they
had every name of those who attended:
they knew all about the petition, just
who signed it and those who did not; they
heard what each mother had to say, who
the bitter and prejudiced ones were and
all about the scene when one mother was
so courteous as to cast reflections upon
the son of another mother who had re
fused to sign the petition; also that one
mother said her boy ousrht to use his
money to buy shoes and stockings for the
family instead df spending it for parties;
that there were many bouquets exchanged,
and tears galore, indignant, bitter and
passionate words, but really no hair pnll
ing. It must have been a most cheer'ul
spectacle and a charming picture to be
hold. And all for what?
"One mother, in speaking of the affair,
said she could manage her daughter at
home, but some of the mothers were
spanking their children in public. A fath
er asked if some of the girls did not sneak
off to the parties. How can they expect
anything else, why should their girls not
deceive them if some of their mothers ap
point secret meetings and steal off to
them? That the mothers were hasty in
their action and unwilling to reason is
evident from the fact that Prof. Whitte
more reausted a committee of thorn to
confer with him before taking any action
in the matter, and they positively refused
to do so. The committee of gentlemen
these mothers appointed to wait upon the
board of education asked the members of
the sororities and fraternities to meet
them last Saturday to be investigated.
The presidents of the fraternities ignored
the request, as the fraternities are not on
trial. They are under no obligations to
answer questions at this time. One of the
boys said he had not been suhpoenaed yet.
However, two or three boys from each
fraternity went to the meeting out of curi
osity. They found that three of the
committee had the good taste to keep out
ot the controversy, and I think business
could not have been very pressing with
the other two gentlemen.
"I understand the committee hardly
knew how to begin, but finally one of the
gentlemen had the courage to state that
the fraternity boys had poor grades. Then
there was brimstone in the air, a frater
nity boy told him in few words his state
ment was false and proved to him that
every fraternity boy could show the very
best grades in his class, that none were
better. This same brave man then .asked
why they took such a limited number into
the fraternity, why the most of the school
were not permitted to join? The same boy
replied by asking him why his 'conversa
tion club' was so select, why they didn't
branch out and take a goodly number into
it? "When the gentleman saw what he
was up against he hastened to ask the
same fraternity boy if one of his frater
nity friends was running for some politi
cal office if he would not aid and give
him every support in preference to any
one else? The young man then handed
him a bouquet by saying: Mr. Committee
man, if a member of your 'conversation
club' was running for chief, police judge
or some such office, wouldn't you clap
your hands? The meeting was immediate
ly adjourned, the committee had failed to
get the best of the boys. One oL these
active committeemen boasted, I under
stand, tliat if there was no law in Kan-

National Liberal Party of Cuba Meets
in Havana.
Havana, May 16. The National Lib
eral convention opened here amid cheers
for the reorganized party and for Gen
eral Maximo Gomez, who is regarded
now as one of the most ridical of the
party's leaders. The convention unan
imously though tentatively adopted a
declaration of principles.
The declaration most applauded dur
ing the reading was one asserting that
the Piatt amendment to the permanent
treaty between the "United States and
Cuba constitutes a danger of weaken
ing Cuban sovereignty and declaring
that the treaty should be revised when
opportunity offers.
After a unanimous vote of sympathy
with General Maximo Gomez, who is
dangerously ill at Santiago, the conven
tion adjourned until tonight.
The majority of the delegates favor
the nomination for the presidency of
General Jose Miguel Gomez.

see to it that the next legislature cassed
one; if this most worthy eentlemah had a
son, his statement should cause him to
blush for shame; as he has none, there
will be time enough for him to assist us
in governing our boys by ordering a law
to control when the parents request him
to do so; he will then, no doubt, cover
himself all over with glory.
Ill the Wrong Light.
"I think these mothers iiave put our
boys in a wrong light before the public.
They are not -dt set of ineorrifibles, as
might be inferred or suspected from the
fact that some of the mothers appealed
to the board of education to control, in a
measure, their children for them; since
they consented to their sons joining the
iruternity and gave the boys no reason to
think that they objected to it, but, on the
contrary, made tnem welcome in their
homes and gave cause to feel that they
approved of them and had faith in them,
I can not undet stand the consistency of
their action and I do not believe it would
be possible for them to explain it.
"Their method and course of action was
wrong and wholly unnecessary. There
has never been a time that the fraternity
boys were not ready and willing to grant
every request the mothers of their sorori
ty friends made of them and they agree
with the mothers that 12 o'clock is late
enough for their social affairs and that
extravagance in the entertainments is
not tilting for boys and girls of their age,
even if they could afford it, and they also
agree that they can not afford it, even if
it were fitting, so it would have been the
proper thing for the mothers (as they
were the only ones who could do it) to
have called a meeting, open and above
board, and decided on the hour for the
boys and girls to adjourn their social af
fairs, dispensed with carriages if they
thought best and fixed a limited amount
for decorations and refreshments, then
made known to the boys and girls the re
sult of their meeting and requested them
to abide by their decision. Coming from
the mothers as a whole to the fraternity
and sororities as a whole, the societies
would have been most erateful to them,
and not only cheerfully yielded, but tliev
would have thanked the mothers for their
action. In this way no one organization
would have advantage over the other.
"Every one can readily see that one bov,
one fraternity or one mother was power
less to act; it was necessary to have it
come from a whole body to the societies
as a whole; all the boys and girls needed
was a fixed limit. Then the mothers should
enter into their young lives, take an in
terest in their pleasures, counsel advise
and act as moderators in all things.
"The fraternities are small organisa
tions. It is not difficult for a few boys
to work in perfect harmony, while great
numbers are not apt to. In considering a
boy for membership I believe his grades
twin inugicss xir. Hnai counts ratncr than
his age. I know the fraternity to be a
power for good. I consider it a very great
advantage to the boys and a wonderful
help to some of them, as it seems to be
just what they need. It disciplines and
develops; it acts as a restraint; in some
instances it has been a very great re
straint and has helned to mould charac
ter. Every boy in the fraternity is con
tinually impressed with the fact that his
school work, must come first, school is
paramount, each one is spurred on to bet
ter grades, better work, a higher moral
standing; they are filled with aspirations
to make the most of themselves and of
their opportunities. It is their mirpose to
be gentlemanly and manly in all things
at all times and under all circumstances
Their meetings are by no means frivolous
or foolish. There is some literarv work

who thev think would enjoy their hospi
talitv and in this wav they give some
pleasure to their school friends outside ot
the fraternity. Otherwise there would not
be much in the social way for any ot
them, as the school affords nothing or the
sort. Some have said there snould be no
fraternitv work until the boy gets into col
lege As manv of our boys never go to
college, thev would then be deprived of
all social affairs and would know nothing
of these little pleasures that saould come
into every young life to brighten it m
after rears. .
'During the last vear the sororities and
fraternities have rallied to every call.
Thev have given liberal support to every
worthy cause, though Mr. Miller, the hign
school principal, has seemed to be an
tagonistic to tnem, showing a bitter preju
dice. For instance, when the 'High School
World' was considerably behind the fra
ternity and the sororities in a very few
minutes raised nearly the whole sum. Mr.
Miller made some indignant remark, I am
told, and refused to allow a mere state
ment of the facts to be published in the
'World.'. I think he has been as unreason
able with and as narrow in his views re
garding these organizations as he was
with some of the boys who refused to
wear their shirt collars to suit his taste.
I understand that Mr. Miller boasted to
one of the mothers some time ago trwt
thev would start clean next year, mere
would be no fraternities and sororities, so
it would not surprise me at all to lern
that Mr. Miller had been the undercurrent
which has caused this useless eruption.
"Prof Whittemore is to be congratulateu
on the stand he has taken in the fraterni
tv matter, lie certainly has shown great
wisdom and the best of judirment in refus
ing to meddle with any tnmg that does
not come under the jurisdiction of the
board The boys claim Prof. Whittemore
is a gentleman, and 1 imagine from now
on we shall hear: 'What's the matter with
Whit he's all risht.'
-Jn Kansas Citv the board of education,
and not the parents (as has been stated),
rou-ht the Phi. Lambda Kpsilon through
the lower court aud it was finally earned
to the.supreme court, where it was turned
clown, for the court had no jurisdiction
over these societies. It was shown, too,
that the board of education had no au
thority over them any more than tbey
have over some Masonic order. So the
onlv ones who can possibly act are the
parents. Of sixty mothers, but eighteen
of them signed a petition that was sup
posed to be a stand against the organiza
tions. Xow a number of the eighteen say
thev did not sign any such petition. How
ever, it does not look as if the fraternities
and sororities would have to go very
soon. While some pr-ople will always op
pose, such societies, there will always be
parents who will uphold these organiza
tions and battle for their boys and eirls,
so it is mv belief that the fraternities and
sororities are here to stay, and it is to be
hoped that these fathers and mothers will
use their better judgment. Let this un
fortunate affair cool down as quickly and
eaiiy as possible, trusting that the mis
used bovs and girls will pardon their er
ror, although it will not be possible for
them to ever forget some of these parents
and their conduct."
