Pittsburg Sheriff Says He Will Swear In 1,500 Deputies
To Protect Property Of Company, But Hill Not Use
His Officers To Protect Men Brought In To Take
Place Of Strikers-Meetings At Philadelphia And
Smoky City May Avert Trouble
Pittsburg, July 18. Although there
Is marked uneasiness here over the
strike situation on the Pennsylvania
railroad, it Is not believed that a
strike order will issue before the
meeting between trainmen and rail
way officials, which began nt 11
o'clock this morning, Is concluded.
Sheriff Judd H( Bruff of Pittsburg
threw a bomb Into the camp of the
railroad people by announcing that
he would not consider It his duty to
protect mn whom tlie company
brought in to take place of striking
workmen. Sheriff Bruff 'admitted
that he wis now ready to swear In
1,500 deputy sheriffs at the first signs
of trouble, but added:
"L will ba piepared for any emer
gency which may require the, protec
tion of proporty In event of a strike,
but this does not Include protection
of the men who will take the places
of striking workmen. I wish this
point made very clear and have em
phasized it to the railroad people. If
there is tobe a strike here I will be
on hand to protect property and I
will protect it fully, but I will not
permit my men to be used as guards
for strange men coming to take the
places of dissatisfied workmen." t
The Pennsylvania road is prepared
to house and feed 2,500 strikebreak
ers In what Is known as the Pittsburg
district and In event of trouble they
claim there will not bo a train can

tho Pennsylvania railroad on tho
other, another meeting Is being hold
tills afternoon in the offices of tho
general manager and Is attended by
the, general committee of tho conduc
tors and trainmen.
What the outcome of the meeting
will bo It is Impossible to predict, but
that tho employes of tho system do
not deslie u stilko Is evident, as they
uro doing all in their power to bring
about an adjustment of affairs, and

meeting to be held today was ar

BRYAN LEFT HIGH

Own Party Repudiates Plank,

Omaha, Neb., July 18. William J.
Bryan Is to be completely crushed by
the Nebraska Democracy, Is tho word
which went out to the leaders of all
counties of tho state in which con
ventions have not been held. Not a
single Bryan man is to bo placed on
committees, regardless of the Instruc
tions given the delegates by tho
county conventions.
Tho poor showing mado by Bryan
and his county option scheme In tho
county conventions already held was
surprising to tho insurgents, and they
have determined onco for all to rid
themselves of the "peerless leader."
Tho anti-county optlonlsts oxpocted
victory, but not so ovorwhelmlngly,
and tho weakness dlslpayed by Bryan
has made (ho opposition leadors bold.

conductors' organization, and W. G.
Leo, president of the trainmen's body,
are doing all they can to adjust all
differences and avoid a strike, and
the fotmer stated that as long as
there Is a door open and there Is n
possibility of avoiding a strike, the
employes of tho road will tako advan
tage of It.
A rumor was In circulation to the
effect that locomotive engineers In
tho employ of the Pennsylvania rail
road are about to domand an liici-easo
in wages, but the rumor could not bo
verified. President Qarretson of the
conductors' union stated that he had
heard of no such movement.
Q. M. Wilson, assistant president
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, was In Philadelphia Fri
day and conferred with President!!
Lee and Garrctson of the trainmen's
organizations. The lattor stated that
the talk was general and had nothing
to do with the possibility of the engl

delegation from only a slnglp county.
Efforts will bo male in the counties
yet to hold conventions to prevent
tho naming of a slnglp Bryan sympa
thizer In the convention itself. Tho
plan Is that Bryan be not placed upon
a single committee, that the time of
the great speech which he Is expect
ing to make be cut to the minimum,
and that while no actual discourtesy
be shown him, y6t that he receive
scant attention from tho convention.
Throo-fourths of delegations so far
are anti-Bryan. Republican conven
tions ahendy held show that tho Re
publican state convention will declare
for county option. With tho Demo-
oratlc platform declaring against the
plank which Bryan sayB is tho great
paramount moral issue, and tho Re
publican platform carrying a plank
standing for exactly what Bryan has
been fighting lor, the question natur
ally arises, will" Bryan stand for tho
Democratic platform or will he work
for the election of the state Republi

Within half a dozen years, according to a number of leading bankers of
New York, the suburban electric- Hues that are being built throughout the
Onitcd States will give nwny to the monorail system. II. H. Tunis has been
busy building the monorails In and around Now York. They have been tried
and the success of Germany duplicated. Owing to the fact that the monorail
is less expensive to build and the fact thnt much higher rato of speed can be
secured than either by steam or electric trains the backers declare they will
supplement the present method of transportation, nnd that soon. According
to the New Vork bankers' plans no stock Is to be sold to the public. How

of stock. Tho Tunis company Is a close corporation.
