Number of Persons Wounded at San Francisco. San Francisco, Sept. .—The labor union parade resulted in the shooting of two men by employes of the United Raflroads.

New York, Sept. .—A wireless out- fit, which, the police believe, was used for transmitting racing news to the poolrooms of New York ecity, was seized in a cottage near the Sheeps- head Bay racetrack. Two men were arrested in the apartment. The fact that the racetrack man- agers withhold racing news for a | stated period in order to make it of little value to poolrooms has led to many Ingenlous schemes to get the coveted information. The wireless method was the latest. A cottage overlooking the track was hired and experts, with the ald of a powerful telescope, collected such information as was desired. As the telephone and telegraph wires in the track’s vicinity were closely guarded the wireless sys- tem was resorted to by the poolroom agents to get the news through to the oity. MURDER AND SUICIDE.

IENELUELH NOW 00T Delegation at Peace Conference Ordered to Withdraw. CABLE MESSAGE RECEIVED Head of Delegation Instructed to Take No Further Part in Deliberations but to Return to His Post as Min- lster to Germany. The Hague, Sept. 5.—Senor Fortoul, Venezuelan minister to Germany and head of the Venezuelan delegation to the peace conference, has recelved a cable message from the Venezuelan government ordering him to withdraw from the conference and return to Ber- lin. He thinks there was delay in transmitting this instruction, due to the dispute between the Venezuelan government and the - French Cable company, necessitating sending mes- sages by a roundabout route,. Senor Fortoul cabled to his government ex- plaiding the present situation here, but he does not expect an answer for several days. The dispatch from Caracas to M. Fortonl said that full instructions would reach him by iail in a few days, so Z2 does not expect to start for Berlin before Sept. 7 at the ear- lest. AMERICAN PLAN APPROVED General Horace Porter Wins Fight at The Hague. The Hague, Sept.\5.—General Horace Porter of the Amenican delegation to the peace conference pressed His pro- posal for the collection of contractual debts to practically unanimous ap- proval by, the committee of examina- tion and at the conclusion of the meet- ing he was the recipent of many con- gratulations upon the success of his efforts. The importamce of this Amer- ican proposition, it is pointed out, lies in the principle, which is estab- lished rather than lngita practical ap- plication, which may" be very infre- quent. General Porter met! with ready ar- gument all the objections raised and finaily brought all the,countries rep- resented, debtor as well as creditor countries, into line, with the single exception of Switzerland, which Is neither a debtor or creditor country. There is reason to ibelieve, however, that after all the Slwiss government will sign the convention with reserve regarding the matter tof jurisdiction. Dr. Drago, while ‘he cast Argen- tina’s vote in favor.of General Por- ter’s proposal for the' reason that it establishes obiigatory arbitration in matters relating to comtractual debts, declared Argentina maintained her original reserves on the subject.
