Philadelphia Police Say
20,000; Stri Kers120,000
-The City is Orderly
PPHILADELPHIA, March 8.- Al
though It Is now three days since the
sympathetic strike went Into effect,
It is still impossible to accurately
state the strength of the united move
ment.
Widely divergent claims continue
to be made by both sides. -The union
leaders say that 125,000 union work
ers are on strike and that they have
been Joined by at least 20,000 men
and women who heretofore were un
organized.
The police authorities, on the oth
er hand, state that a careful compila
tion of reports resultant upon a thor
ough canvas shows less than 20,000
on strike. The police back up their
statement with a detailed list of the
concerns affected.
The day was the quietest since the
calling of the general strike. Tonight
there was absolute quiet up to a late |
hour, according to police reports and
every Indicition that the night would
pass without serious outbreaks. May
or Keyburn said late tonight that the
sympathetic strike was over so far
as the city administration was con
cerned, adding that the aftermath
may safely be left to the police to
handle. Word that the order for fed
eral troops had been cancelled indi
cated that the authorities believe the
worst of the strike is over. The tran
sit conditions, to every appearance
showed continued improvement to
day and tonight. There was less ne
cessity for the presence of the police
on the cars and even timid people are
beginning to show a disposition to
ride.
The police do not attempt to ex
plain the discrepancy between their
figures and those of labor leaders.
According to the police, establish
ments affected by the sympathetic
strike employ 54,954 hands.
There are 121,539 employes In
other establishments not affected by
the strike, and this gives, according
to the police figures a total of 176.
193 employes, of which 18,407 are
out. Many have quit work, It Is de
clared, not from sympathy for the
carmen, but because of the action of
certain branches of the trades. For
l/.rtance. It Is said at a carpet mill.
300 dyers quit work and this com
pelled the closing of the plant and
the enforced Idleness of 2,800 other
employes.
Secretary Nell Bonner of the Re
tail Liquor Dealers’ asosclatlon, an
nounced that the association had re
quested Its members, as well as other
cate proprietors to close their bars
should disorder occur In the city, and
keep them closed until the trouble
subsides. A willingness on the part
of the proprietors to comply with
the request was indicated.
The master builders met late today
at the builders’ exchange and adopt
ed resolutions condemning the sym
pathetic strike and discussed action
against some of the bodies of men
who Joined the general strike move
ment. It Is asserted that agreements
made by the employer with more
tnan one of the unions In the build
ing trades have been deliberately
broken. The resolutions call upon
labor leaders to reconsider their ac
tion at once.

HuGO'i A, Colombia, March 8.—A
quarrel between the manager of the
American owned street railway line
and a police officer late yesterday
was followed by a riot during which
mobs attempted to wreck the street
cars.
Traffic was stopped and the man
ager placed under arrest. The riot
ing did not cease with this but con
tinued for some time?, finally reach
ing the United States legation loca-1
tlon.
The police gathered in force In the |
vicinity, but the mob, after wreaking
Its vengeance on the rolling stock of
the company In that vicinity, at
tacked the United States legation,
stoning the building.
Members of the legation were pro
tected and though there were fur
ther disturbances during the night
the authorities today appeared to be
able to afford protection to Ameri
cans and gave assurances that the
trouble was over.

RICH PLANTER KILLS HIMSELF.
Louisiana Man Found Deiul in
Vicksburg Hotel,
VICKSBURG, Miss., March 8.—
Leopold Aschaffenburg, capitalist,
planter and well known clubman;
whose home was Henderson, Madi
son Parish, La., killed himself In his
room at the Hotel Carroll this morn
ing.
When the door was forced
Aschaffenburg was still clutching
the revolver in his right hand. The
coroner’s Investigation showed that
he had sent a bullet through his
brain. No one heard the report of
the revolver. Mr. Aschaffenburg,
who was 67 years of age, was a
native of Alfersweller, Rhelnpfals,
Germany, but had lived many years
In Madison Parish. For over thirty
years he was a partner with J. Stein
and together they were often reuted
to be worth |300,000 or more.
Mrs.. Lena Mayer and Mrs. Julius
Ferschelmer of St. Louis, sisters of
J. Stein, were at the Carroll hotel
yesterday and were with Aschaffen
burg during the afternoon.
Mrs. Cudahy Also Dis
plays Black Eye Re
ceived From Husband
KANSAS CITY, March 8.—His
nurse at St. Mary's hospital, where
Jere F. Lillis has been a patient
since Sunday, said this evening that
the condition of the banker was im
proved.
Definite announcement that Lillis
will not prefer a formal charge
against John P. Cudahy, the million
aire packer, renders doubtful the
probability that any further details
of the circumstances that led up to |
the trouble will ever be made public. |
Doth Cudahy and Lillis still firm
ly refuse to make any statement with
regard to the affair. John Moss, the
Cudahy chauffeur who was at the
place when the attack on Lillis oc
curred has not been located.
Into the arms of her father, Gen
eral John C. Corwin of Omaha, an at
torney of national reputation, Mrs.
Cudahy rushed tonight. The general
arrived here on an evening train and
went to the Cudahy home, where his
daughter had been waiting for him
since Stinday morning when she tele
phoned him to come to her at once.
Briefly Mrs. Cudahy told her story
to her father. General Corwin was
much affected
“My daughter is innocent,” he
said, iirmly. “I am as certain of that
as 1 am of the virtue of Jesus
ChriBt. “I regret exceedingly that
Cudahy was so cowardly us to say,
•he 1..is ruined my home.' He did
this for his own protection. Why did
he not think of these dear children
who must suuer from his untrue
statement ?”
This afternoon, Mrs. Cudahy was
Induced to make a statement. Mrs.
Cudahy, in telling of her husband s
attack upon Mr. Lillis, declared it
was the culmination of a long line
of brutal treatment. This last act,
she said, would result in the separa
tion of herself and husband. Mrs.
Cudahy was lying on a davenport in
her room as she made her statement.
One of her eyes was badly sw'ollen.
‘This was done Saturday night,”
she said, “and I have no desire to re
ceive visitors today. It was a ter
rible thing that occurred. And it was
all caused by an automobile, a new
runabout that Mr. Lillis had just or
dered.”
Mrs. Cudahy then told the story of
the attack. Her husband, she said,
attended by his chauffeur, Johann
Moss, had found Mr. Lillis and Mrs.
Cudahy at the Cudahy home when
they returned from a ride in the new
Lillis machine. She had invited him
in for a few moments and they were
seated in the library when Cudahy
“rushed into the room. He must
have come into the house through the |
billiard room. He was accompanied
by Penn (Johann Moss), the chauf
feur. They seized Mr. Lillis and be
gan beating him. Mr. Cudahy had a
thing that he uses in the car and he
beat Mr. Lillis over the head with
it.”
Here Mrs. Cudahy looked over at
the table near her coucn and said:
“There it is. See the blood on the
end.”
“The tuing," to which she had al
luded was an electric searchlight. It
was eight inches long and ahout the
thickness of a man's wrist.
“That Is what he hit me with, too,"
said Mrs. Cudahy.
“I ran as soon as I saw they were
beating Mr. Lillis. I believed they
would try to kill him and I thought
they would try to kill me, too. They
had a rope with them when they
came in and both swore frightfully.
I ran upstairs and stood screaming
at the top of the stairs. Freda, the
maid, came running in with the other
servants. She stood with her arras
about me to protect me. They had
finished tielng Mr. Lillis by this time
and Mr. Cudahy came tearing up
stairs. He struck me over the head
and In the left eye”—Mrs. Cudahy
raised her handkerchief to the swol
len eye—“and you see what he did.''
noth the lid and Immediately un
der the lid were deep purple.
“Then he rushed downstairs
[again,” Mrs. Cudahy went on, “and
then I guess he began to use the
1 knife on Mr. Lillis. He must have
lhad It with him, although I did not
Isee it when he came in. Freda ran

Heyburn Opposes Bill,
Which Passts-Says
Promises Not Kept Good
WASHINGTON, March 8.—The
senate today passed the agricultural
appropriation bill, carrying thirteen
and a half million dollars. The bill
was the subject before pasasge of a
violent attack from Senator Heyburn,
of Idaho.
The measure carried an appropria
tion of $5,703,700 for the forest ser
vice, or about $4,000,000 in excess of
the receipts from the service. Mr.
Heyburn contended that the appro
priation was increasing from year to
year, whereas assurance had been
given that the forest service would
be self-sustaining.
He said the last administration
had been conducted regardless of the
rights of the settlers of the west and
gone upon the theory that, where
there was no law, there should be
license. He expressed confidence,
however, that the country was now
entering upon a different system.
Mr. Heyburn contended that the
best use for the land was settlement
and declared he would rather see one
man on an acre of ground than whole
herds of spotted fawns.
He continued: “If, when the set
tlement of this country first began,
there had been some English forester
to tell the people that they could not
go upon the land or take the lum
ber, the line of settlement w'ould not
yet have extended more than ten
miles from the Atlantic seaboard."
As going to show the effect of the
withdrawal of the lands in a given
community, Mr. Heyburn said that
while two-thirds of the land in Bon
ner county, Idaho, was in forest re
serves and owned by the government
it contributed only $700 to the sup
port of public institutions while the
private owners of the remaining ons
third pay $190,000 in taxes.
Quoting from a newspaper state
ment that a million dollars worth of
lumber soon was to be sold by the
forestry officials in Idaho, Mr. Hey
burn agreed that the timber did not
conserve the snow supply. Indeed, he
said, his observation had taught him
that the snow lying under the trees
melted much more rapidly than that
on the bare ground.

Charles Ix>w Eonrns of Brother’s
Death at Reno—Washouts
Prevent His Going.
Charles Low of East Ely yesterday
received a telegram conveying the
sad news of the death of his brother,
W. H. Stam. in Reno, on Tuesday.
The brief message gave no details,
but Mr. Low believes death to have
been due to ill health with which the
young man had suffered for some
time. Other relatives are all In the
east, Mr. Stam having been alone on
a trip on the coast in hope of benefit
to his health.
Owing to the fact that all roads
through Nevada are now indefinitely
tied up by washouts, Mr. Low was
yesterday placed in trying position,
it being impossible for him to reach
Reno except by way of Portland,
which would Involve several days’
(travel. He last evening wired to the
Masonic and Odd Fellow lodges in
Keno, his brother haing been a mem
ber of both orders, asking If the body
could be held. Otherwise instruc
tions will probably be forwarded to
ship it at once to the home of the
family in the east. Meantime Mr.
Low is uncertain as to the course he
shall pursue.
