Chicago. July 23 Two trainloads of
nonunion men from Daatern points were
stopped by strikers at 11.30 o'clock to-day
between Kensincton and Hammond, on
the Lako Shore and Michigan Southern
and Erie railroads. Several hundred ne
groes wtre compelled to disembark on the
prairie. Th3 stock-yards strikers had laid
careful plans to intercept the trains.
A detachment of strikers left Chicago
early this morning for the appointed
place. Telecrams from spies on the
trains furnished Information as to the
time of arrival, and the number of non-
uclonlslts. Tne strikers waited on the
railroad right of -nay with red flags in
readiness. The trains were promptly
stopped and the Chicago labor agitators
got aboard The nesroes were told that
a strike was In progress at the packing
houses la Chicago, and that It would be
healthier for them to get off the train
then and there.
John Ukanazltsch. a. Lithuanian anarch
ist, to-day entered the Exchange building
at the stock jards and attempted to as
sasslsato George T. Ward, a well-known
commission man. With no word of warn
ing the man struck Rogers, a clerk. In the
back. The clerk turned, and his assailant
ran Into the hallway. Rogers saw that
he held a large knife In his left hand, and
had evidently struck with his right.
Mr. Ward was Just returning to the of,
flee, and encountered the man In the hat!.
The knife was raised to strike, when
Choever and Lebeau, the only two who
had not run for safety, seized the man's
arm. They told Mr. Ward to get into his
office and lock the door, which he did just
In time, as his assailant wrenched himself
free and made another attempt to attack
him. Sir. Ward does not know the man.
Ukanazltsch said he Intended to kill all
the packers.
Bessie unaruschcK, a union worker, who
rtslted the yards yesterday and remained
orae time, was taken for a scab by the
strikers, and this morning she found an
effigy of herself hanging in front of her
house on a wire. She was hooted by men
and boys.
A crowd gathered about the young
woman's home, and the effigy was hoisted
upon a telegraph pole. The cries of the
women In the crowd aroused the girl, and
she soon appeared at the front door.
When she saw'that an attempt had been
made to reproduce her personal appear
ance, and that the efflgy had been hanged
to a telegraph pole with & card portraying
her as a scab, the young woman broke
down and wept.
As the girl stood with bowed head the
women In the crowd assailed her with
"Scab" and "Traitor." Finally the girl
raised her bead, and stepping; resolutely
forward, said:
DENIES BEKO A "SCAB."
1 am not a scab, nor am I a traitor to
my union. If I was a scab my father
would kill me."
She then explained that she was de
tained at the works by a foreman, and
that she was still on strike. This quieted
uje oroirg ano uia emrj wu removed.
Altnoutna reUef Ztiaa-orzt&ixm was
Toted "by- the unions to alleviate tha dis
tress of stock yards strikers and their
families, who are In want, there is little
change to-day In the condition of those
huddled In the squalid district generally
referred to as "back of the yards."
Instead of complaints there Is a dispo
sition to conceal destitution. Like the
Spartan mothers of old. hungry wives and
mothers of strikers sit In Bllence in their
rpare homes, purposely avoiding those
who seek them out with charitable mo
tives. Two elements enter into the forti
tude of these women loyalty to the
unions and pride.
Mrs. Michael Faladov, AmJtage avenue,
near Forty-third street, was found raving
from illness and hunger. A daughter of
U rears was acting as nurse. There was
neither food nor medicine In the house.
Caspar and John Wojlnk. 7 and S years,
were found in Paulina street, near Forty
rlith street, crying for food.
Mrs. Elolsa iCagle. Marshfleld avenue
and Forty-sixth street, is without money
or food. Four other families were found
in a similar condition, but none of the
adults complained or made application for

REPUBLICAN CLUB
OPPOSES BOSSES
Welch's Letter Withdrawing
Prom Contest for State Chair
! manship Indorsed by Repre
sentative Party Men.
At a meeting of the Good Government
Roosevelt Republican Club at No. 2300
Eugenia street last night resolutions were
adopted which approved In so uncertain
terms the letter which was sent by C. A.
Welch to the Republican bosses at St. Jo
seph during the Republican State Con
tention. .
Mr. Welch, who was the active manager
of the Republican city campaign two years
ago, was a candidate for chairman of the
Republican State Committee until Tues-
cay last. At mat uxno. realizing mat cir
cumstances and conditions were most un
propltlous, he Issued a letter -in which he
stated that he was no longer a candidate
for the state cnairmansnip.
In his letter he stated that In view of
"the unholy alliance which existed be
tween the anti-Roosevelt Republicans and
the bocdle element of the Democratic par
ty" to nominate the St. Joseph ticket and
which, by the way. culminated In suc
cess, Mr. Welch declined to permit the
use of his name further in connection
with the office, and withdrew from the
-contest-
This letter, which recited the circum
stances and conditions surrounding the St.
Joseph convention, was Indorsed by the
Good Government Club last night, and
their feeling in the matter is said to be
fairly indicative of the sentiment which
prevails not alone in St. Louis, but in
many sections of the State at large.
In the membership of the Good Govern
ment Club are representatives of the Re
publican party from all sections of the
city, and their action has especial sig
nificance with respect to the approaching
campaign.
OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Classed by Coffee.
Physicians know that drugs will not cor
rect the evils caused by coffee, and the
only remedy Is to stop drinking It.
Dr. W. J. Allison, of Heber, Ark., says:
l have been a coffee-drinker for EOTrears,
said have often thought that I could not
1!va without it. but after manv rears of
suffering with our national malady, dys
pepsia. I attributed it to the drinking of
coffee, and after some thought determined
to use Postum Food Coffee for my morn
ing drink. I saw that Po3tum was made
carefully with directions, and found it
lust suited my taste. At first I used it
only fcr breakfast, but I found myself
retting so much better that I used it at all
meals, and Z am pleased to say that it lias

One of the Best-Known Re
porters in St. Louis
Helped to Unearth
Boodling in Mu
nicipal Assembly.
FUNERAL WILL BE SUNDAY.
From newsboy and bootblack. James M.
(Red) Galvln, who dld rarly yesterday
morning at St. Joseph. Mo. worked his
way up to the distinction of being the
best-known newspaper reporter among all
classes of people in St. Loulo.
Dispatches to The Republic from St. Jo
sph last night stated that Coroner Dojle
had rendered a verdict that death was
due to heart disease.
Galvin left St. Louis Sunday with Flor
ence McCarthy, to report the Republican
Stato Conientlon for the St. Louis Star.
They had rooms at the Metropole.
Mr. Galvln went to bed about midnight,
complaining of a chill. When McCarthy
went to his room an hour later, Mr. Gal
in told him that he was perspiring freely
and that he thought lie would soon be
over the attack. He refused any medi
cine or stimulants
When Mr. McCarthy passed through
Galvln's room to the bath shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday morning he supposed his
coworker to be sleeping. After dressing,
Mr. McCarthy raised the curtain, and then
saw that something was wrong. He felt
the pulse and realized that death had
come. He went for Doctor Max C. Stark
loff of St. Louis, who Is attending the
convention and is a guest at the Metro
pole. Doctor Starkloff said that death had
come some time before. The body was
taken to an undertaker's establishment
and prepared to be sent to St. Louis under
the direction of George C. R. Wagoner, a
delegate to the convention. Coroner Doyle
did not hold an inquest, but simply took
the statement of Mr. McCarthy.
The body will be met in St. Louis by a
committee of newspaper men.
The President of the United States,
Judges and other officials of the United
States and State courts, bankers, brokers,
merchants and men of the professional
ranks were included with persons of the
most lowly walks of life in Galvln's list
of friends.
To them he was known as a man who
never betrayed a confidence. They knew
that they could let him in on the Inside
facts of any matter that promised a big
newspaper story, and that he would not
print even a hint of it until the proper
time.
Many of nls acquaintances, who later
became his valued friends, included men
in the business and professional world,
whose shoes no shlned and to whom he
sold newspapers when be was conducting
a stand at Third and Olive streets is the
early eighties.
As a police reporter Galvln's superior
has not been known In St. Louis. As he
had been compelled to hustle for a liveli
hood from tha time he donned his first
pair of short trousers, his education was
meager, and as a writer ho never attained
special ability.
PROTEGE OF JOSEPH R. McCUIXAGH.
But as a news-getter his equals la the
ranks of newspaper reporters were few
and his superiors fewer stm. It was this
ability that attracted the attention of Jo
seph B. McCUUagh. then editor of the
Globe-Democrat, who gave Galvln his first
real newspapsr assignment.
Galvln had worked in the mailing-rooms
and circulation departments of the Post
Dispatch and the Chronicle, but his ambi
tion was to be a reporter. His "tips" to
Mr. McCullagh were received with appre
ciation, andthe editor soon saw that
in Galvln thoro was the making of a first
class reporter. Mr. McCullagh's Judg
ment has been borne out by the achieve
ments of his protege. After Mr. McCul
lagh's death Galvin went to the Star,
where he held a position on the local staff
to the time of his death.
Credit has been given to Galvln for ob
taining the first Information of the gl
gantlo boodle deals in the combine of the
House of Delegates, and Circuit Attorney
Folk received from him the "tip" that led
to the exposure of the entire matter,
landed several former Delegates In the
Penitentiary and mads Mr. Folk famous
as a boodle prosecutor.
"Red's" hobby was diamonds. Several
years ago ho wore the precious stones in
every conceivable place. Lately, however,
he had laid some of them aside. "Oh, I'm
getting; tired of them," he recently re
marked to a friend, who commented on
the absence of several of the sparklers.
Usually thrifty in his habits, Galvln -was
a ready spender -when a point was to be
gained, but he managed to save much of
his earnings, and was reputed to be the
"richest reporter" in St. Louis. It is said
that he bad accumulated 150,000.
FUNERAL TO TAKE PLACE SUNDAY.
He lived at No. 1301 South Tenth street
with his sister, to whom he had always
been devoted. He loved children, and was
always pained to find the little ones suf
fering in the City Hospital. Once when
covering this assignment he found a
mother with five little ones, none more
than 12 years old, afflicted with diphtheria
in the Isolated ward of the hospital.
Regardless of the warnings of danger
from the doctors, he entered the ward,
cheered the mother and her babies, and
when he departed each youngster
clutched a slHer dollar In his hand.
His brother. Sam Galvin. is likewise
well known In St. Louis as a programmer
His body will arrive in St. Louii this
morning at 7:10 o'clock on a Burlington
train. The funeral arrangements are in
charge of his lifelong friend. Frank
O'Neil of the Post-Dispatch, and the serv
ices probably will be conducted Sunday at
the home of his Bister in South Tenth
street.
THIEF STOLE WINTER WRAPS.
Crawled Through Purnace Hole
of Page Avenue House.
By crawling through an unfinished fur
nace hole, a burglar effected an entrance
to the basement of the house at No. 4350
Page avenue Wednesday night, and se
cured winter clothing valued at $83. which
had been stowed away for the summer.
Living in the house are Mrs. A, M.

coat. These she values at $35.
The thief stole from Mrs. Burg two

overcoat and a black marine underskirt,

HOLE UNDER A JAIL CELL
Guard Thinks Bats Started the
Undermining Process.
A hole was found under cell No. 3S of
the City Jail yesterday by Tom Brry.
one of the guards, and the two prisoners
who were confined in the cell twere nt
once removed to cell No. 14 so the hole
under No. 3$ could be filled with concrete.
Guard Barry believes the hole was made
by rats. It is not unusual to find holes
under cells at the Four Courts, and this
leads some to the conclusion that rats
are undermining the old prison. As fast
as holes are found they are Oiled up.
The prisoners in No. 38 yesterday were

SAYS MOHAMMEDAN CUSTOMS
ARE CURE FOR DIVORCES.
Abdel Abaxa Addresses Current Topic
Club on Marrlaa-e Customs of
the Egyptlnn.
The Mohammedan marriage custom
formed tho -arinclpal feature of the ad
dress delivered by Abdel Hamls Abaza at
the "Egyptian Night" banquet of the Cur
rent Topic Club at tho Hamilton Hotel
last nisht. Incidentally the speaker ad
vocated this system as the only solutlOT
of the Christian divorce problem.
Among the Egyptians, he said, joung
men are invariably married at the age of
20 and girls at 14 and 13, some een joung
er. Tho selection of his wife is not left
to the young man, but his parents, who
are more experienced In the was of the
world than lie, at the proper time seek
amone; the marriageable daughters for a
suitable companion.
If ono wife is not sufficient for him and
such is not generally the case ho may
take as many more as he feels his means
will permit him to support.
From the marriage question he drifted
to various customs in vogue among his
people, and also explained a system of
irrigation which he said caused the land
to become very fertile and produce in
many instances three and four crops a
season.
Joseph Salem, another Egyptian, also
entertained the guests with stories of his
native land. About fifty members of the
cub were present at the banquet, which
was presided over by F. T. Gladney.
Among those present were: Charles W.

solved, but should continue In force.
The East St. Louis packers yesterday
asserted that they were getting many
men, and that within a few days, and
possibly a week, they would be able to run
their plants without the assistance of any
of the strikers. .
At all of the packing-hoilses the state
ment was made that many of the strikers
had gone back, and that others had sent
word that thev would return to work In
a few dajs. Oiliclals of the packing plants
were apparently jubilant at the turn of
affairs, and sav they now are sure of get
ting along In opite of the strike.
RECEIVED 4 500 CATTLE.
The receipts of cattle at the Stock Tards
Yesterday were 4,500 head, the majority of
w hlch were bought by packers. ,The buy
ers for the packers said they would buy
almost the usual amount of cattle from
now on
Strikers' representatives still assert
that although kllllns Is being dT.e it is
done by unskilled labor, and that the
packers are thus losing so much on their
by-products and the waste In the cutting
that they will be glad to get the old
hands back. '
The dnigclng of the coffee at the Ar
mour plant Tuesday night jesterday
caused some trouble among the labor
agencies In Inducing men to go there to
work. AH sorts of argsjnents were used
bj- the labor agents In their efforts to In
duce the men to go to work.
The strikers yesterdav received a do
nation of two tons of dressed beef from
the Union packing Company of St. Louis

SKILLED WORKMEN REQUIRED.
Officers of the St. Louis Dressed Beef
and Provision Companj- slid last night
that but little-effort Is now being made to
secure men, as they have about as many
as tbej- can handle.
There Is still a great demand among em
plojment agencis. however, for skll'ed
butchers and .meat cutters, and the strik
ers, who claim to be well Informed con
cerning the equipment of the packers, siy
that they are sorely In need of such men.
They supplement their statement by say
ing that agents of the packers have made
repeated efforts to get their old butchers.
The strike leaders last night emphati
cally denied the statement made by the
packers that some of their men had re
turned to work. They admitted, however,
that a few of them presented themselves
at the company's plant yesterday morn
ing prepared to go to work.
ft u Mia that when they saw horc nafl
their number was they laid down their
tools and returned to the morning mass
meeting, where thej' gave an account of
their action. Thej claimed they were led
to believe that most of the strikers would
be In their old places jesterday morning.
