The Bulletin's Ciroulation in Norwich i RAILWAY MEN RETURNING TO WORK| Cabiea TWO CENTS . Industrial Crisis Which Hovered Over United Kingdom Has Been Averted STRIKERS MAkE CLAIM OF VICTORY Both Sides Agree to Permit a Commission to Settle Their Difficulties—Twelve Killed in Wales and Some Split Heads at Dublin—Thousands of Operatives Penniless, Having Spent Their All During Holidays. London, Aug. 20.—The rafiway men throughout the United Kingdom are urning to work, and it is hoped Wwithin a few davs to have the great transit systems working under normal conditions. Hope of Ending Dockers’ Strike. Following the announcements Sat- vrday night that the railway managers and their employes had agreed to per- mit a commission to settle their diffi- s, came the reassuring news to- that there was great hope of ending the dockers' strike at Liverponl @nd that the workers thers shortly would resume their duties. Some Heads Cracked at Dublin. No rioting as a result of labor trou- bles were reported today except at Dubiin, where tha police and constaples came into collision with a mob which was in sympathy with striking news- boys who were endeavoring to prevent the distribution of newspapers. Nua- merous persons had their heads crach ¢ in the melce and several shops were ooted. Railway Workers Claim Victory. The railway workers held meetings throughout the country today to cele- Drate what ti claimed to be a v tory over the railway companies. With exception of 4,000 men of the ortheastern Railway company, which was not a party to the strike sett's- ment agreement, and 3.000 Manchester men, all the unions passed resolutions in favor of a resumption of work. Demand Minimum Wage of $5.50. The Northecast company’'s employes demand an eight hour day and a two #hilling weekly advance in wages, with minimum weekly wage of 22 shill- ings, about $5.50. Some Progress Made Yesterday. Although the servicfs on the other lines have not been completely re- stored, the men in most cases pre- sented themselves for duty today, and & start was made toward remedying the dislocation caused by the strika. During the day some prosress was madz in clearing the lines of freight traing, but it will be some days before normal conditions are restored. Some Rioting in Wales. TUnfortunately, because of the block in the telegraph lines, the manifesto of the striks leaders calling upon the men to return to work did not reach some points until this morning. during he night there were disturbances at numerous places. With the exception of Lianelly, in Wales, however, there were no serious riots. Twelve Killed at Llanelly. At Llanelly the death list as a result of the disturbances of yesterday and last night, but due chiefly to the ex- plosion in’ the freight shed which the mob set on fire, reached twelve. Three of this number \were shot by the troups yesterday morning. The police believe the explosion in the freight shed was caused by a box of cartridges lootxd from the troop train being thrown into the fire. Many persons were seriously injured by the explosion and are being treated in the hospitals. Strikers Not the Rioters. Eight thousand troops still remain at Llanelly, but today the town re- sumed its usual quiet. The officer in command of the troops there says that roughs and not strikers were responsi- ble for the original rioting. Military Had an Easy Day. The military also remained on duty today at a few other points in the kingdom,. but their services ' to put down disorder were not required. King Congratulates Prem King, George today telegraphed Pre- mier Asquith congratulating the gov- ernment on the success of its efforts in bringing about a reconciliation be- tween the railways and their employes. Thoousands Are Penniless. One pitiable effect of the strike has been the suffering of stranded holiday makers in Lancashire. “Thousands of factory workers passed the holidays at Blackpool and had spent their iast penny. They had the return halves of their railway tickets, but no trains were running and many of them tried 1o walk distances of twenty and thirty miles in order to reach their homes at Preston, -Blackburn and _other places In hundreds they fell exhaust- ed by the wayside or in the fields. Authorit Succor Them. The authorities of other towns, Jearning of their distress, posted no- tices inviting assistance from benevo- lently inclined persons, whereupon ve- hicles of every description were sent out- on the road to rescue the faetory | ha4 workers. The mayors of many other towns provided meats and shelter in the town halls and public buildings to similarly ?randefl visitors. * iverpool in Line. At Liverpool the railway -men at a mass meeting_tonight decided to re- turn to work Tuesday morning whethar or not the dockers resume their labors. NAVAL OFFICER KILLED BY A GANG OF THUGS.

A PLOT TO DESTROY THE USEFULNESS OF DR. WILEY. Opinion of Those Who Have Heard Evidence ih His Case: (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, Aug. 19.—That there ex- ists in the department of agriculture a plot among certain officials to de- stroy all public usefulness for Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, is the opinion of all i that have attended the hearings before {the house committee on expenditures in the agricultural department. Only one more witness remains to be heard, Secretary Wilson, and he, ] take the stand Monday morning. Very fewfl if any, believe that the sec- retary has had any personal knowledge of what has been done. Is is known that he has been made the victim of mutilated letters that did not tell all the truth, and that his endorsement of the findings of the personal board were based on evidence that was no evidence. Dr. Wiley conciuded his testimony yesterday and told the story of the conception and organization of the famous “poison squad” of a few years ago. He foresaw that in the near fu- ture a pure food and drug law must be passed, and set about experimenting 8o that ha would know some specific things about adulterants and preserva- tives. Dr. Wiley said that he did not originate the title of “poison squad,” but that it had its origin in the brain of a newspaper man, and it has stuck. He said it was an experimental effort, and that it developed a vast amount of information. This poison squad was composed of twelve voung men, Their physical condition was carefully noted, and a i sclentifie ration was adjusted for each that would maintain the body at a uniform rate and normal condition. Each of these voung men pledged himself to eat and drink only what was prepared and given them by Dr. ‘Wiley. The ration was varied only by the addition the preservative. For ten | days the men were fed with food mix- ed with the preservative and ten days without the preservative, .and the physical condition at the end of each period was carefully studfed. At the end of a nine months’ period it was found that in every case borax —produced distinctly unfavorable effects. Prior_to_his experiments with this squad Dr. Wiley had thought that bo- rax was the least harmful of all the i preservatives, and he suspected that its use only as a means of shutting out American meats. He said experiments were made with sulphur. dioxid, sulphate of salycillic, benzoate of soda, ~ benzoic acid, and saitpeter, as well as borax, with harmful effects in every case. The committee did not talk about the case, and there is no telling what the resuit of the hearing will be, but it is_thought that Solicitor McCabe and Assistant Chief Dunbar will suffer the fate they sought for Dr. Wiley. 1t is stated upon the highest author- ity that the president will await the result of the hearings before rendering 2 decision on the papers now in his Dpossession, recommending the dis- charge of Dr. Rushby, the demotion of Dr. Bigelow, and the acceptance of the resignation of Dr. Wiley.

The woman died from the eifects of taking carbolic acid, and from the investigation made by the police and the coroner, it appears that she took the poison Thursday night, this being the last seén of her or her little daughter by the janitor and oth- €rs in the apartment house. Mrs Peterson, who was about 35 years old, some time ago was divorced from her husband, and in a_letter which she wrote to Inspector Board- man sald another woman, whom she did not name, was the cause of all her troubles. Tne police iearned that re- cently she took an examination for a government position and became dis- couraged waiting for an appointment. She had no funds and this preyed up- on her mind. She has called upon Inspector Boardman several times in the past few months, and it appears that she entertained a notion that she whs the subpect of espionage by Pink- erton detectives as the result of the machinations of the other woman whom she accuses of having caused her domestic distress.
