Y., June 30.—Notice was posted in the Remington typewrlter works at Ilion that commencing July 1 the establishment would be closed until further notice. The typewriter works employ 2,100 people and the ‘weekly payroll is about $30,000. Some time ago the company attempted to introduce a machine for accomplish- ing a part of the work of aligning the letters on the typebar of the machine. The men engaged in alignment ob- jected to this and struck. Shortly thereafter the assemblers quit work. Conferences have been held between the company and the striking work- men, but they have not resulted in healing the differences. The shutdown is the result.

HOPE TO FIND SOME " TRAGE OF LEON LING Fifty New York Detectives al Work in New Jersey Towns. b2 ? I New York, June 30.—The police cor- don. thrown about the comparatively narrow territory comprising Paterson, Passalc, Hackensack and other neigh- boring towns in New.Jersey is tight- ening around a number of Chinamen among whom the police hope to find trace of Leon Ling, the supposed mur- derer of Elsle Sigel. Fifty of the best detectlves of In- | spector McCafferty’s staff have been sent into this district. The concen- tration of so many of them lent color to a belief. 'that important informa- tion, carefully guarded from the pub- lic, was In the possession of the po- lice. The double mystery of the inde- pendent movements of Tieon Ling and of the trunk contsaining the body of Elsle Sigel was apparently no nearer solution after detectives had run down the latest clue, the alleged moving of the trunk on the night of June 9 from Eeon Ling’s rooms in Eighth avenue to a laundry in West One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. ‘According to the man who is supposed to have moved the trunk Leon: Ling did not accompany it on its travels from:the Eighth avenue address ‘to Harlem, but sent it on by express. The laundry ‘was found untenanted when the de- tectives visited it, however, and no evidence of value was obtained. § - A BATTLE WIT H TRAIN ROBBERS Britlsh Columbia Policemansand One Bandit Killed.

PEOPLE OF NOTE INVOLYED Case Attracted Wide Attention Be- cause of That Reason, Mrs. Cleve- fand Being Among the Witnesses . for the Prosecution—Genuineness of " the Signature Not Material, Accord- ; ing to Judge's:Charge. New York, Jume 30.—Broughton Brandenburg was acquitted on the charge of grand larceny growing out of the sale to the New York Times of an article parporting to have been signed by Grower Cleveland. He was at once arresped on a charge of kid- napping his stepson, James Shepard Cabanne,'in St. Louis. Justice: Fitzgerald charged the jury that the.only thing for them to con- sider was whether or not the defend- ant stole-$500, the price said to have been paid'to Brandenburg for the art- icle. The: genuineness of the signa- ture was not material in this case, the | :BROUGHTON BRANDENBURG. Judge said, as forgery of the signature was not the crime with which Bran- denburg was charged. Brandenburg’s case has attracted wide attention because of the prom- inence of the persons who have fig- ured in it and the interest that at- tached to the threshing out of the question of the genuineness of the Cleveland article, on which the pro- ceedings against-him were based. Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland, widow of the late Grover Cleveland, was a wit- ness for the prosecution at the trial, as was Richard Watson Gilder, a life- long friend of Mr. Cleveland. Both declared the signature attached to the Times’ copy of the Cleveland art- icle a forgery. COMMISSIONED TO KILL CZAR 8layer of Swedish General Confesses on Death Bed. Stockholm, Sweden, June 30.—Al- though he refused to divulge the names of his co-conspirators Adolph Vang, the assassin of General Beek- ‘man, confessed on his: death bed that he had been commissioned by the an- archists to kill the czar of Russia and that he was only prevented by his inability to get within striking dis- tance of the Russian soverelgn. Vang confessed that he had no per- sonal motive to kill Beekman, but said he shot the first high official he could reach in order to convince his an- archistic comrades of his good faith. USE WILD WEST METHODS Anti-Saloon Campaigners “Shoot Up” Drink Dispensaries. Tucumecari, N. M., June 30.—The anti-saloon campaign at Endee, N. M., came to a climax when a band of masked men rode their horses through the doors of a saloon and, after driv- ing the customers into the street, “shot up” the bar until the mirrors and glassware were nothing but wreckage. The raiders then crashed into a dance hall and, while some of the women fainted and others rushed screaming for the doors, the same programme of destruction was carried out. The raiders then rode rapidly away. ONE THEATER WAS CROWDED Bombs Exploded in Two Barcelona Playhouses. Barcelona, Spain, June 30.—Bombs were exploded in two of the Barcelona theaters. One of the playhouses was empty, but the other was crowded and the audience was thrown into a panic. One man was fatally wounded. Dynamite on Street Car Track. Evansville, Ind., June 30.—Dynamit- ing has begun in the Evansville street car strike. A car ran over a large stick of green dynamite, which, how- ever, failed to explode. While the police were testing the stitk there was a terrific explosion, said by ex- perts to have been sufficient to blow the car to atoms. POSTPONED FOR THE PRESENT Prosecution of Sugar Trust Has Not > Been Abandoned. ‘Washington, June 30.—That the government prosecution of the Amer- ican Sugar Refining company has not been abandoned was the opinion ex- pressed by department of justice offi- clals in the absence from the depart- ment of Attorney General Wicker- sham, who was engaged at the White House in the pure food whisky cases. The officials pointed out that in view of the eminence of counsel represent- ing the Amcrican Sugar Refining com- pany, who have set up the claim that the prosecution of the company is barred hy the statute of lmitations, it is quite possible that the attorney general has consented to the tem- porary postponcment of further pro- ceedings until that question can be thoroughly examined. MAYOR’S ACTION COMMENDED Bucceeded in Ending Street Car Strike at Pittsburg. Pittshurz, June 30.—Greater Pitts burg is happy in the realization that it does not have to walk down or around town, as street railway traffic has been resumed.

The union men assert that they have galned their points The car company is just as strong in the assertion that it stood firm. On every hand is heard commenda- tlon of Mayor Magee. Through his efforts the strike was amlcably “set- tled. LAY SRS Baseball Manager Dead. !
