OPERATIVES REJECT OFFER
Advance in Wages and Profit Sharing
Plan Fail to Suit Cotton Mill
Employes
By Associated Press.
FALL RIVER, Mass., Oct. 22.— The
Fall River Textile council, representing
the organized cotton mill operatives of
the city, today decided to reject the
offer made by the manufacturers' as
sociation last week to advance wages
5 per cent and introduce a profit-shar
ing plan. The council made a request
for the restoration of the 12 1-2 per
cent which went Into effect July 25,
1904. No trouble in the mills is antici
pated and it Is probable that further
negotiations will be conducted during
the coming week.
The Textile council held a special ses
sion of two hours and a half duration,
and, according to Secretary Thomas
Taylor, the sentiment was unanimous
that the council should insist upon a
straight advance of slightly over 14 per
cent. The secretary was instructed te>
notify the association to that effect.
The committee had heard no inten
tion to change the policy adopted, and
as far as members of the committee
were aware there had been no break,
and would be none, in the ranks of the
manufacturers.
The great majority of the cotton mills
in northern New England, Rhode Isl
and, eastern Connecticut and in othei
Massachusetts towns will not be di
rectly affected by the movement here.
Tomorrow's advance In this city wih
affect about 30,000 operatives.
Work will be resumed by all the Fall
River mills in the morning, and if any
trouble comes it is not looked for until
after Wednesday next.

SNEEZED IN MANY TONGUES
Remarkable Case of "Ker-chu" at a
Blaze in a New York
Tenement
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.— "Ker-chu!
ker-chu! ker-chu!"
Hundreds of persons gazing at the
second story window of a tenement
house at 308 West Sixty-ninth street,
known as the "Block of All Nations,"
from which smoke was pouring last
evening, heard strange sounds from
scores of throats in the building.
Down the fire escapes in the front
hurried men and women, some with
children in their arms. All were sneez
ing with full lung power. From the
falsetto of the Italian Infant In arms
to the deep, resonant snort of the fat
German, who stuck fast in one of the
openings, none escaped the sneezing.
It came in all languages.
While the fire created intense alarm
for several minutes In this, one of the
most crowded city blocks, the spectacle
of the "ker-chu" brigade afforded so
much merriment that the crowd hugged
the police lines and yelled encourage
ment.
The sneezing rose in volume as the
smoke Increased and the stream of
figures on the fire escape thickened.
The firemen connected with engine
company No. 40 were fighting flames in
two rooms occupied by an Italian
family. Lieut. Ford, who led several
men with fire extinguishers, was one
of the first to reach the windows. He
sneezed until he was red in the face.
Every member of the company finally
got to the windows and the "ker-chus"
took on a brogue.
. Meanwhile in the street the crowd
had a hilarious time until a gust of
wind swept the smoke to the pave
ments. It enveloped several hundred
persons. Then came a unanimous
sneeze. The crowd broke, each and
every one "ker-chulng" with might and
main, while the evicted families and the
firemen got a chance for a breath of
air and a hearty laugh themselves.
Frank Lafelgo, who occupied the
rooms, had several hundred red peppers
hung on the walls. The flre burned the
peppers and the fumes, penetrating the
building, started every one sneezing.
The damage was $10.
SPURNS LIFE SAVER
Unidentified Man Deliberately Seeks
Death Beneath a River's
Flood
Special to Tho Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.— Refusing to
grasp a rope thrown toward him by
life savers, an unidentified man about
50 years old sank to his death in the
North river alongside the recreation
pier at the foot of West Fiftieth street
early yesterday. Just at dawn men
employed there were startled as he
rushed past them and Jumped off the
pier end. Two life savers, who are
watchmen at the pier, ran after him
with a rope and a life preserver, and
succeeded in throwing the latter almost
over him as he was swept down stream
by the tide.
Instead of grasping the life preserver
or its rope the man deliberately threw
up his hands and sank before the
rescuers could spring overboard. They
worked for an hour with a boat and
grappling irons and finally the body
was brought to the surface. Policeman
Kolle of the West Forty-seventh street
station, who assisted, found that the
body was not cold and hastily sent to
Roosevelt hospital for medical help.
Dr. Johnson, who came, said the man
apparently died immediately after he
sank.
MUSIC LURES FROM CRIME
Special to The Herald.
LORAIN, Chio, Oct. 22.— The family
of James Allenbauch of Elyrla was
aroused last night by the sound of
the piano. Allenbauch found a rough
ly dressed man seated at the grand
piano playing Handel's "Mesuiah."
One classic followed another for som«
time. Then the fellow, still uncon
scious of his auditors, fell forward on
the piano, his head buried in his arms.
At the first move of Allenbauch he
leaped to his feet as if to escape. Being
assured there was no danger, he gave
the name of John Schmunk. He says
he was a musician by profession, but
became a criminal and served a term
in prison. He said he had entered the
house to rob it. On seeing the piano
he could not resist the temptation of
touching the keys.
He was given a place to sleep, a suit
of clothes, and a $20 bill to start up
ward again.

The price of corn is also rising, the
advance being over BO per cent as
compared with the prices of August.

PRESIDENT HAS
RESTFUL DAY
LEAVES AT NIGHT FOR TOUR
OF ALABAMA
Attends Church at St. Augustine and
Takes Sea Beth at Anastasla
Island — Receives Few
Visitors
By Associated Press.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Oct. 22.—
President Roosevelt started tonight for
his tour of Alabama. He left St. Au
gustine at 9 o'clock, and is not sched
uled to make a stop of any length until
he reaches Mobile tomorrow afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock. His day In St. Augus
tine was a quiet one. He attended ser
vices In the Presbyterian Memorial
church at 11 o'clock. The pastor, Rev.
James Coffin-Stout, preached from the
text "Worthy the lamb that was
slain." He made no reference to the
president In his sermon.' The church
was crowded. At the conclusion of the
services the president was taken for a
short drive about the city. After
luncheon the president, accompanied by
Secretary Loeb, Surgeon General Rixey,
John Mcllhenny and John Greenway,
the last two of whom have been his
guests on the trip south, drove to Fort
Mertion, where they boarded a launch
and went to Anastfisia island. Here
the party donned bathing suits and had
a bath in the salt water.
The president greatly enjoyed the
bath and seemed In excellent condition
to tackle the hard work which lies be
fore him this week. When the party
left the hotel for the fort the mounted
policemen of St. Augustine, who had
been waiting In front of the hotel,
started anead as an escort. The secret
service man, who was on the box with
the driver of the president's carriage,
said to one of them:
"We do not need you now."
"That's all right," responded the offi
cer, "we will go along."
They galloped to the fort, where they
stood at attention while the president
boarded the launch and steamed away.
Dinner was served at the hotel to
night, after which the president drove
to his train. St. Augustine was full of
strangers today, attracted by the presi
dent.
A large crowd lingered around hl&
hotel all day anxious to catch a glimpse
of him. He received but few visitors,
however, and got the rest of which he
stood in need.
This week will see the end of his
trip. After visiting Mobile tomorrow
he will spend Tuesday at Tuskegee,
Montgomery and Birmingham. He
will devote Wednesday to Little Rock,
Ark., and Thursday he will visit New
Orleans, leaving that evening on a gov
ernment vessel for Washington.
UNCLE SAM IN SHOW BUSINESS
The Navy Department to Display the
Naval Biograph Exhibit at
St. Louis
Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22.— The navy de
partment Is bringing the naval bio
graph exhibit from the Portland expo
sition to St. Louis. The first exhibition
outside of Portland will be given here
and on the result of the performance
will depend whether or not the navy
department will go into the show busi
ness. The entertainment will be at the
Odeon, Saturday afternoon and night,
October 28. There will be 400 free- seats,
800 at 10 cents each, 625 at 25 cents ad
mission and 400 at 50 cents.
Lieut. Slgnor, In charge pf the naval
recruiting party which opened a re
cruiting Btation in the federal building
a week ago, is to be Uncle Sam's critic.
He will decide whether the show takes
well enough to warrant a tour of the
big cities. He was notified yesterday of
the coming of the exhibition. From
Lieut. Signor's standpoint the succeHS
of the exhibition will depend on
whether or not it will interest young
men in the navy and stimulate the re
cruiting business.
The biograph Bhow, which attracted
much attention at Portland, Is similar
to the one given in the government
building at the St. Louis world's fair.
It is a complete presentation in moving
pictures of the ships, showing a fleet
in mimic warfare, the daily drills and
scenes on board, the marines In action,
the sailors at work and play, and al
most everything that goes to make up
life in the navy. The pictures were
taken at much trouble and expense and
cover scenes from the naval yards of
the United States, the naval stations In
Europe, the orient and the Philippines,
Introducing everything from the tor
pedo boat and the submarine to the
biggest battleship afloat.
SAVED BY THE SIMPLE LIFE
Slim Diet and Much Exercise Averts
the Awful Fate Predicted for
an Editor
Special to The Herald.
LANSFORD, Pa.. Oct. 22.— Editor J.
W. Maloy of the Lansford Record, one
of the best known newspaper men in
Eastern Pennsylvania, has completed
a feat in the reduction of avoirdupois
that physicians say is nothing less
than wonderful.
A year ago Mr. Maloy, who is Just
about 5 feet high, weighed 243 pounds,
and was growing heavier every, day.
He consulted physicians, who told him
that his chances of living more than a
year or two were very slim. They pre
scribed a course of diet and training
as a last resort, but told the editor that
there were few cases that had been
cured, even by this method.
Maloy followed the directions care
fully and a wonderful change soon took
place. His weight was reduced grad
ually until he now tips the scales at
178 pounds. Besides this, his health has
improved materially, and despite his
50 years he now says he feels as young
and chipper as he did at 26.
He publishes in his paper a cut of
himself as he appeared a year ago and
as he appears today, labeling them
"Before and after." He ascribes his
present condition and the fact that he
is still in the land of the living to "ths
simple life and strenuous efforts."

chuck me under the chin.' That
to my mind, is the spirit that is es
sential to the making of happy homes,"
