PITTSBURG Aug 13 J F Cooper
Treasurer of the Bay View lodge of the
Amalgamated Association at Milwaukee
and J D Hickej former member of the
same lodge called on President Shaffer
today They told him that the men of
the Bajvlew lodge wanted to return to
work and fill out their contract with the
National Steel Company that they had
been carried away by the strike fever
and worried by Shaffers threat and
therefore rescinded their first vote to dis
obey the strike order Cooper and Hlckey
sald that the men would take another

A good many of the strikers say that
the two men named were permitted by
the manufacturers to visit the Clarke and
Painter mills which arc partially oper
ated by non union men The fact that
they were allowed to enter Is declared by
the strikers to mean that their visit here
has been brought about by the manu

LIKELY TO AVERT A CLASH
lltner Place Their Grievances In
the Lcnderx llniidN
WJLKESBARRE Pa Aug 23 John
Mitchell National President and District
Presidents Nichols and Fahej of
the United Mine Workers were today
given discretionary power to order a
strike at any colliery where the operators
refuse to admit the union cord commit
tees This was the result of all jester
days and this mornings work In the con
vention at Hazleton and was embodied
In resolutions a column long
Whether a strike will be ordered how
ever Is another question The considera
tion of the question was left in the hands
of the officers of the union and this morn
ing thev submitted resolutions which were
vigorously discussed throughout the
morning session Nichols held out for
firm measures In District No 1 where
the card committee hnd been refused ad
mission to the mines while Mitchell Duf
fy and eager to keep harmony
adopted a more moderate tone
The District No 1 men however made
a vigorous light and In the end carried
the lMjInt In a modified form The opera
tors in this district are to be asked to rec
ognize tlie union card day once a month
when thej shall allow the card commit
tees to enter the mines and examine the
cards of the men If they refuse to do
this the officers are given the discretion
ary power to order a strike If the opera
tors agree they are to sign a contract to
that effect no mere verbal or potted an
nouncement belrg aeccpted
The companies which have already re
fused to admit these card committees to
the mines In this are the Lehigh
Valley the Delaware I ackawanna and
Wcbtcrn the Delaware and Hudson the
Temple Coal and Iron Company and the
Lehigh and Wllkesbarre and the King
ston Coal Company and it Is expected
that they will persist in their refusal It
will then be up to Mitchell and as he is
opposed to strikes at this time It Is
that the matter will be adjusted
especially as ho has discretionary power
nnd Is i uiiported In his stand by Pres
idents and Duffj
glad to Inoculate him
Since then the average death rate has
risen to 15 per cent from the bites of in
fected mosquitoes While the department
does not urge inoculation It feels that
this is the least dangerous way of having
the disease as the patients get care in
the earliest stages The department stands
ready to immunize anjonc who so desires
after the risk Is fully explained
The station at Las Animas is not an
experimental one but Is merely for the
purpose of rendering persons immune Dr
Carroll and the jellow fever board have
obtained mosquitoes from Las Animas

I would rather be right than be Presi

Mr Brjan refused to discuss D B Hill

Mr Johnson Is a good man nnd a good

was offered after the company had Jack

You will remember that wc were told
of a schooner ljlng In the which was

SAN TRANCISCO Cal Aug 23 Se
cret Service agents are trjlng to locate
the San Francisco crooks who have flood
ed Alaska and the Klondike with bogus
gold dust but thus far have been un
successful
This spurious gold dust Is made of
brass filings and mixed with genuine dust
at Dswson where most of It was sold
Bogus njgrets hav e also been sold In
large quantities Altogether 100000 of
this species of gold brick was worked off
confidence men The fraud was first
discovered at the United States Assay
Office at Seattle where It was noticed
the quantities of gold dust which should
have run nt about 113 an ounce did not
run over 7 For a time this did not
nrouse suspicion It was thought to be
dust of low qualltj
Subsequently attention war drawn to
the matter Mrs Dlgnon of Seattle
who had received a gold nugget from her
mother Mrs Woods of Dawson This
nugget Mrs Dignon had taken to a
Jeweler to be mounted in a pin While
cleaning it with acid the Jeweler discov
ered that the nugget was not gold at all
but merely brass and copper with a thick
wash of gold The matter was thin
turned over o the Secret Service officers
and Investigation began
It was found that the nugget had been
sold to Mrs Woods bj an old man and a
woman who had disposed of a good deal
of ore on the ground that were
going back to the States and did not
want to take out dust Two officers
are working on the case nt Dawson but
all have discovered Is that the stuff

NEW 1 ORK Aug 3 Deputy Corr
mlssioner Devery was confronteel at po
lice trials today by another Irish mem
ber of the force who as good as declared
that 23 would have altered the verdict
In the case nt trial the po
liceman Edward ONeill gave the tariff
for transfers of policemen at 23 a trans
fer and called transfers shakedowns
Several hundred transfers at J23 a trans
fer would manifestly be a comfortable
addition to income however large al
ready from other sources That It cost
J300 for a chance to get on the force at
all 2500 to be promoted sergeant and
13000 to be promoted captain Is part of
tne record of the Lexow investigation
But a tiZ tariff for transfers is new to tho
general public
The only police official who has the
power by law to make transfers Is Com
missioner Devery can recom
mend them and that his recommenda
tion sometimes counts ma- be gathered
from his roaring at ONeill
Ill bieak jou
Wlw n he Is not ery angry he saj s Ill

To transfer a policeman for a punish
ment Js usually to send him ten or
miles from his dwelling place and
family To transfer him for 23 appears
to be to send htm back home ONeill has
been transferred five times since April
last With 5 fees for transfers assess
ments for legislation and so on members
of the rank and file who are sometimes
accused of stealing fruit from peddlers
probably do It to sustain life At any
rate now that ONeill after twelve years
service as a policeman has made a be
ginning the district attorneys office
hopes that other members of the force
who would prefer to live In on
their salaries will tell what they know
about the extra expenses of being a po

strode out of police headquarters after
Devcrj s threat to break bim nnd he
went straight to the District Attorney
with his storj At the District Attornejs
office ONeill talked with Assistant Dis
trict A0ncj Garvan Subsequent he
made a deposition before Justice Jerome
after a conference at which Assistant
District Attorncj s Garvan Gans Sand
ford an I Thorne were present Then the
Justice told ONeill to- talk about the af
fair to no one ONeills hearers were
Impressed with what he told them
and believe that recent occurrences in
the raiding line and the Whitney confes
sion have alarmed some policemen and
arcuscd disgruntled ones so that the
truth will come out from within
Police Captain Gannon of the East
Street station whom
Jacob Hess made a captain last Decem
ber told on tho witness stand how
lb came about that he was In the Webster
house in Fifteenth Street when It was
raided on Wednesday night bj Assistant
District Attorney Sandford
Incidentally the captain declared under
oath to Justice Jerome before whom the
hearing for the two women arrested In
the raid was held In the Special Sessions
courtroom that there was not a suspi
cious place in his precinct not a disor
der house not a gambling house not a
poolroom nor a shop In return
Justice Jerome told the captain that Po
lice Inspector Thompson had sworn that
he the inspector could not make suc
cessful raids because of tips from sta
tionhouses With this exchange of In
formation tho justice and the captain
parted after an hour of examination

Mentioned n a Gubernatorial Can
diilate by State Democrats
BOSTON Aug 23 A boom for Joslah
Qulncy for Democratic candidate for
Governor this fall was started
by cx Representatlve John F Fitzgerald
and it was circulated through Dem
ocratic circles The idea Is generally ac
cepted among the leaders that William
A Gaston will withdraw his name for tho
Democratic nomination in favor of the
ex ma j or who Is said to be now on the
way from England to this country to con
fer upon the matter
It has been in the air for ten dajs that
such an outcome would not be unlikely
The mention of Colonel Gastons name
was received enthusiastically at the out
set but in the months which havo Inter
vened since it wai first heard a more or
less acrimonious discussion has dev eloped
among the friends of Gaston and those
oX the Hon Charles S Hamlin and what
started to be a friendly contesthas now
assumed proportions which might prom
ise unfortunate results In the event of
the nomination of either
Gamaliel Bradford never has been seri
ously regarded by the Democratic lead
ers Mr Bradford sajs he has scared
the Democratic machine Into deciding
upon Quincy as a compromise candidate
AN ANTI UNION WAR
nullderx ami Contractors Taking
Acllse Steps In Xevv Orleans
NEW ORLEANS Aug 29 -In view of
tho disturbed condition of the labot situa
tion and the numerous strikes preelpitat
ed here and the still greater number
threatened the architects builders and
contractors took the preliminary step to
day to protect themselves against furth
er disturbance and tie ups in their busi
ness This action consisted in the calling
of a mass meeting of master builders
master painters master plasterers mas
ter plumbers master brlckmasons mas
ter sheet and galvanized Iron workers and
architects to meet at the Mechanics
Dealers and Lumbermens Exchange on
afternoon It Is announced
that the purpose of the meeting Is to
declare war against the unions and be
gin the war at once instead of waiting
for the unions to still further strengthen
themselves and precipitate a strike when
get ready for it The call for the
meeting declares
lhe time has come when faced with
such unreasonable demands as are at pres
ent madeby thedlfTerent unions of the city
it becomes necessary that some concert
of action should be had between those
emploving the men to carry out the obli
gations for which they have contracted
and the men emplojed them In the
presence of these facts and with a view
of having tha existing differences adjusted
at once we deem It necessary that a joint
meeting of the master builders master
painters master plasterers master plumb
ers master sheet Iron workers and gal
vanized iron workers architects master
brlckmasons etc should be held as soon
as possible to determine what action
should be taken to remedy the existing
evil
The call has been signed by all the presi
dents of the several branches of the build
ing trade The painters carpenters and
other trades have struck and sev
eral of them have secured considerable
advances The Building Trades Council
composed of the unions employed In the
building business meets tonight It is
understood that a general strike of all
the building trades unions was stroncrlv
advocated and prevented the re
fusal of the Bricklayers Union one of the
strongest of the organizations to endorse
the move

RICHMOND Va Aug 29 -The women
who occupied the galleries during tho
meeting of the Constitutional Convention
today manifested their disapproval of n
speech made by Col J C Summers by
turning their backs upon him Colonel
Summers was declaring that all the peo
ple of Virginia including the negroes
should be allowed to vote on the new
constitution He declared he as a freo
man What are you he asked of th
contention
Publicly addressing the galleries occu
pied by negroes he made an open ad
dress to them saying that It was pro
posed to disfranchise men In Richmond
whose educational and professional at
tainments were superior to those of any
man on the floor
As Colonel Summers turned to the east
ern gallery in which were seated ladles
they deliberately turned their backs upon
him while he continued a smeeeh tuvr
before equaled In the hall for Its severe
arraignment of the Democratic party
The debate on the preamble and Bill
of Rights was continued today The hall
was packed with visitors
Attorney Gen
eral Montague was an Interested listen
er The galleries were filled and there
were few -vacant seats on the floor Ninety-four
members answered to their names
President Goode called the body to or
der at noon Prajer wa3 offered by the
Rev Dr P B Price
Not a single new proposition or memo
rial of any nature was presented the first
time such a thing has happened In the
convention
Chairman Ajers of the Committee on
Prisons and Public Institutions asked
and It was granted that the committee
might visit the State hospitals at such
time as the committee might desire
Mr carter of Hanover presented a
minority report from the Committee on
Legislative Departments stating that tho
minority was unable to concur in the rec
ommendation prohibiting the passage of
any law whereby private property shall
be taken or damaged for public uses with
out Just compensation The report says
the present provision Is ample on this
subject
On motion of Chairman Green of the
Committee on Bill of Bights and Pream
ble the convention went into Committee
of tho Whole and resumed consideration
of the Wjsor amendment
Colonel Cameron arising to a qnestlon
of personal privilege said that justice de
manded an explanation of an apparent
inconsistency in his speech of jesterday
on the oath question He had used an un
guarded expression He had expressed
doubt of a reference to his speech by Mr
Wj sor but the stenographers had him
accurately he believed Justice and hon
or demanded this explanation because af
ter mature deliberation he had changed
his position
Delegate Richardson of Scott was the
first speaker If he were forced to vote
on the question today he would favor sub
mitting tne constitution to the present
electorate He had been taught to believe
that the people are sovereign and he be
lieved that all power was vested In and
derived from the peopl The members
of the convention were here by consent
of their masters He was In favor of the
Wysor amendment He was a white man
represented a white and if
the suffrage plan did not disfranchise any
material part of his constituency he would
sacrifice himself and a dozen others and
come to the rescue of his brethren In tho
black belt
Mr Wjsor Would jou not vote to
submit to an abridged electorate even if
it sacrificed more than a dozen
No I would not fifteen for fear I
might disfranchise the gentleman from
Pulaski
Continuing he said that he was in favor
of postponing a vote on this question
until the convention had something to
submit He was not prepared to say
whether he favored the poll tax as that
was only a condition requisite to voting
and would not disfranchise anj one The
Suffrage Committee had according to the
newspapers agreed and disagreed and
now they were In as much of a tangle as
ever W hy settle this question now Wa
were In the dark and it would be a leap
In the dark to vote
TO ATTACK THE STEEL TRUST
Lew IVnIInce Jr Likely to Take
Action Soon
INDIANAPOLIS Ind Aug 29 Lew
Wallace Jr nephew of Gen Lew Wal
lace of Ben Hur fame and a lawyer o
considerable prominence has received
from the Anti Trust League at Washing
ton a number of documents which com
prise portions of the history origin and
acts of the United States Steel Corpora
tion
On the Information thus obtained and
from what he has gathered in this State
relating to it- Indiana branches he will
base a suit to compel the Steel Trust to
discontinue business as an organization
Mr Wallace has been engaged In his in
vestigations of trust methods for some
thing more than a ear and believes that
the provisions of the Indiana law are
ample to prevent the operation in that
State of such business combinations as
the United States Steel Corporation the
American Window Glass and
others which combined for the purpose of
limiting outputs and maintaining prices
When askeel regarding the meth
ods he would adopt he replied that any
statement concerning his intentions at
this time would be premature and he did
not care to discuss the matter He ad
mitted that he had gathered considerable
information regarding the practices of the
United States Steel Corporation but said
that Inasmuch as the employes of that
organization are now on a strike he did
not regard it as an opportune time to be
gin legal proceedings It is believed that
settlement of the strike will be the
signal for the filing of a suit to test the
right of the Steel Trust to exist in In
