STRAE TRENT IS + NERELY GESTURE Néw York's Car Riding Public New York. July 27 UP—Freed of immediate threat of a transit strike, New York's traveling millions breathed more freely as they ride to work today. . The threatened strike, which last midnight was to have tied up all New York's subway and elevated systéms, was called off last evening after a series of conferences be- | tween Mayor James J. Walker and officlals of the union and the com- panies. A difference of opinion in the | terms of settlement was seen today as tending to cause further possible trouble. . Jagies H. Coleman, general or- ganizer for the Amalgamated Asso- clation of Street and Electric rail- way employes, hailed the settlement as a victory for the union and said it established virtual recognition of hig organization, which was the main contention in the controversy. James L. Quackenbush, general counsel for the Interborough Rapid Transit. company, denied, however, that any recognition of the union had been agreed upon. He said the only concession made by his com- pany was the reinstatement of 13 men discharged earlier in the day for refusing to instruct new men in the. operation .of trains and for at- tending a meeting of the Amalga- mated. ‘The union officials announced the setflement gives them the right to “go right ahead organizing,” but ‘Mr. Quackenbush asserted “the ‘Amdtgamated will break its promise if #t attempts to organize the Inter- borough employes and will cause a renewal of the situation.’ The mayor said the companies had agreed to reinstate any man dis- charged because of sympathy or membership in the Amalgamated ind not discrimingte against him in the future. The labor leaders, he said, agreed not to discriminate 4gainst any member of the company union and to recommend the strike be called off. The sett! nt came as a surprise ‘at’a time wien a strike appeared dnevitable, Zirce previous efforts -of the mayor to effect a settlement haa failed. A thorough search of all subway ang etevated tracks in the city was heing made by police today follow- ing the finding of a bomb on the tracks of the Clark street tunnel of the Beventh avenue subway, run- ning under the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The bomb was opened by police who said it contained sufficient pow- der to wreck a train. A defective percussion cap, police said, prevent- ed explosion “of the bomb even though a train Is believed to have struck its fuse disc.

Take Summer Courses At Boston University Boston, July 27.—Among the 1200 students atending the thirteenth an- nual Boston university summer ses- sion which closes on August 13 are two students from New Britain who are registered here for different courses, - Miss Mabel H. Hipelius of 118 Lin- coln street, is taking courses in edu- cation and German, and Ernest F.

There was old General Custer with a real white beard; Hartio N. Ross, as natural a Custer soldier as if he had just risen from his grave. There were Sioux Indians from the nearby reservation—passive descend- ants of those who, in similar cos- tume, besieged the little stockade on French Creek and scalped women and children. All have let their hair and beards grow for the occa- slon. And there at the exact spot in French Creek where Ross panned the first gold of the Black Hills July 27, 1874, was a revivified Ross with s tin basin sitimg. the mua and | Members Diffe on Their Naval sand the rushing mountain stream.

Custer led his troops out here in '74 to investigate rumors of Indians that creeks of gold flowed down from the hills; to typify the glamor at the time of the gold dis- covery and the rush to this terri- tory; = blood-curdling combats be- tween rustic whites and Indians who resented the coming into this sacred Sfoux hunting ground, and finally the establishment of the town of Custer. Townspeople raise special beards and let their hair grow just for the annual occasions. Frontier life with stage coaches, social events, establithment of cat- tle ranches, round-ups and other western scenes are included. There are many old people still here who came out to this spot 12 miles from the summer white house in '76 and ’80 and to them the event holds keen interest. While local newspapers describe Custer as a “thriving little eity” it is not much changed from early days and there are ‘stilll many buildings on Main street which look like houses in cow towns of wild west movies. President and Mrs. Coolidge will motor here for the two hour show and return to Game Lodge immedi- ately thereafter. They will witness the spectacle from a white house automobile. Some 15,000 persons are expected to attend. of reveal a Wisconsin Senate Has Killed Beer Measure Madison, Wis, July 27 (®—The Wisconsin senate is dry.

The marriage license, which was un- earthed by newspapermen, gave Miss Tanguay's age as 48 and that of her husband as 30. Trouble was encountered in con- firming the identity of the two. ‘When the honeymoon bungalow was called by telephone a woman who admitted she was Miss Tan- guay answered it, but when asked about the marriage, cut off the conversation with a sharp bang of the receiver. The honeymoon house capitulated to the reportorial tack, however. “Mr. and Mrs. Parado at home," was the greeting she gave inter- | Vi ers last night. “I only \vlshi everybody could have a boy as nice | as mine.
