PR— plicate matters more, according to the of- ficlals of the assoclation All Wait on Morgan, Whether Mr. Morgan will answer the message of the Amalgamated assoclation or not seems to be a question that even the assoclation officers do not care to pre- dlct. They state positively that if he does not there can be no settlement at this time of the strike Mr. Morgan's silence s regarded by some as significant and omin- ous. Others profess to belleve that he is in consultation with other offictals of the United States Steel corporation and will answer shortly. The secretiveness of the meeting of the Amalgamated men, which bas characterized the preceding meetings, was continued to- day. The members of the executive board gathered early in the morning and re- mained confined in the conference room at the headquarters all day, with the excep- tion of a brief lunch hour. There were the same guards placed outside the room and newspaper men were kept back from all approaches to the meeting. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon President Shaffer, actin on behalf of the hoard, sent word to the newspaper men that there would be no statement glven out for publication today and that there would be a meeting of the board tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to consider matters before it. The meeting id not adjourn at this hour, however, but remained In session until nearly 6 o'clock. During the afternoon Joseph Bishop of the Board of Arbitration of Ohlo. was present for a time. Ex-President M. M. Garland of the assoclation was also in the offices for a time, but both of these men left early. They declined to discuss the situation in any form except to say that they did not know what the probabilities were for a settlement. There were many rumors in the strikers’ circles today. Among those Interesting them the most was one that the American Sheet Steel company was preparing to bring a large number of nonunion men from the south to take their places and that the of- ficlals of the Demler tin mill were prepar- ing to break the strike at that point,/Every, avenue of approi to these mills Is be- ing carefully watched by the strikers and not the least loophole is being left un- guarded. PEACE APPROACHES 'FRISCO Municipal League Finds Both Strikers and Employers Willing to Some Concession SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.—The only new phase of the local labor trouble is a strong undercurrent that is making for peace. The Municipal league, which held secret meetings today with labor leaders and em- ployers, reports that the outlook for a set- tlement is encouraging and that a basis of adjustment may be reached within twenty- four hours. An officer of the league said “We find both sides ready to make con- cesslons on general lines. The employers are ready (o recognize the unions and the unions are ready to stop interfering with the business of the employers outside of what ar. considered legitimate lines.” On the water front only four vessels were loading and only one coal bunker was In operation. The transport Kilpatrick salled for Ma- nila at noon and the steamer Sierra sailed for Australia. The Water Front federa- tion bas organized a patrol system with a view to assisting the police in preserving order. It {s sald that the coal merchants have applied to the Employers' association to assist them in having credit denfed strik- ers by the dealers who are supplying them with necessaries, in order to bring the sit- uation to a climax.

They even followed the mob to the cell doors wich their arms around the necks of the leaders, pleading with them to let the | law take its course, but with no effect. | Ida McCray confessed knowledge of the| murder and stated that her mother Betsie and her brether Belfield helped commit the crime. She further implicated others, who wlill probably meet a like fate. Betsie Mc- Cray refused to make any statement. Governor A. H.

He ‘gddresseq ialarge and attentive audience at the courthouse, impressing upon them the duty of .their citizenship and qbedience to law and order.

The Peter Cooper club had a tempest in a teapot at its meeting in Washington hall I sisted in alring his pet views on the gov- ernorship vacancy question in opposition to the wishes of the members, who were already tired from unloading hot air and desired to adjourn. He became very angry at repeated interruptions and refused to play politics with his fellow populists any longer. The situation looked squally for a time, but the matter was finally smoothed over and the doughty Yeiser expounded his views. After a lengthy discussion, which ranged all the way from acrimonious to ridiculous, Yeiser's uncorked eloquence proved convincing and the. following reso- lution was adopted with but one dissent- ing vote: Resolved, That the Peter Cooper club rec- ommends fo the state committee of the peo- ple’s independent party at its next mecting that a thorough examination -of the que: tion whether there Is such a vacancy or dls- abllity in the office vf the governor of the state of Nebraska as will justify a nomina- tion to this office in the next siate conven- tion of the party and, in case such justifica- tion be found, to include such officer in the call for the convention, A representative of what is left of the silver republican party reported that the remnant had no place to lay its political head. It was necessary under present con- ditions, he said, to go back into the old republican party or be driven into the ranks of the socialists. Either alternative was repugnant to him and his brother pa- triots and as previous Invitations to be swallowed by the Jacksonlans and also by the Douglas county democracy had been scornfully spurned he desired to about an amalgamation of the true reform forces. It was a fond dream of his that the silver republicans, the popullsts and other reformers would be firmly united into one great and grand party, with the peer- less Willlam Jennings Bryan to lead it to victory In 1804, This proposition seeemed to strike the Cooperites favorably, for at the end of a two-hour discussion, in which all phases of the question were touched upon, it was decided to fnvite the silver re- publicans to meet with the club and dis- | cuss the proposed amalgamation The all-important question of finance was brought up by the report of a com- mittee which had been engaged in trying to ralse Douglas county's $300 deficlency assessment due the state populist commit- | tee. The committee reported a total of § time. A warm dlscussion ensued, in which every populist who had even held or ex- pected to hold an office was throughly roasted for not coming to the front with w liberal donation. Two members were added to the committee, with instructions to call upon democratic office-holders for their pro rata and to make & strong shake- down among the county employes. They have until August 15 to raise the balance. —— Right to Snurvey Anaconda W BUTTE, Mont., Aug, court of Montana tod of survey graaed urdett O'Cont uinst the Anac company.

Phillips company, which became famous through its pool operatfons in the Chicago corn pit during the last year, had trans- ferred all its open trades to McReynolds & Co. It was at first rumored that a large | defaleation has been discovered in an ex- amination of the books, but this proved un- true, having its only foundation in the fact that one of the head bookkeepers was con- fined to his ome by iliness. | Lack of facillties for the proper clerloal | needs of the concern, which had acquired an | enormous commission trade, was, according | to a statement given ‘the Associated Press by Attorney John S. Goodwin, who, @s a representative of the law firm of Black & Goodwln, has taken charge of thé company's affajrs, l%y sple teason fnqlfiéx'rnlpnruvr[h’ sus- pendiog byisioggs. © The tangl{d’ colitliten of the books became appartnt“shirie {Ihfe Wgol whbii “thé"Board " of Tradeé dfréctors ruled @at the ‘Phillips compsny. should turaish to oach member of vhe Ma5, »=ta,pool &.det tafled account of the entire transaction. A | large force was then put to work on the books, and in their efforts to digentangle the multitudinous trades it became appar- ent that every trade on the company's books since November, 1900, would have to be checked over, entafling an enormous amount of work. As the firm's business kept In- creasing at a remarkable rate the machinery of the house was found inadequate, and at midnight July 81 it was decided to simply transfer all trades and for the time being throw the business of the house into other hands until a complete new et of books shall have been complled. Mr. Phillips, while regretting the nécessity of this course, said it was the only plan open to him, ““This does not mean we are quitting busi- ness,” he sald. “On the contrary we shall execute all orders, but shall have to ask that usual margins accompany all orders until our books are checked oves Following 1s a statement given the Asso- clated Press by ‘Attorney Goodwin for Mr. | Phillips: “The company was incorporated | in November, 1900, with a capital of $30,000. The business grew 8o rapidly that in the | spring the capital was Increased to $250,000, and with that increase business came in so that the office force was simply over- whelmed, “We have been doing the largest com- mission business of any house in the world, but it had recently come to the attention of the firm that the records of the transac- tions were not being kept in the proper shape for such deals.

We are sending out u circular asking all our customers to send us a statement of thefr claims against the conpany, so that we may have them audited and use them in preparing a new set of books, with the expectation that upless something happens, which does not seem probable, we shall take care of every claim and proceed with the business as heretofore. “The accountant so far hus found no evi dence whatever of criminal frregularity, Bt | simply mistakes due to the immense amount of business handled with fnadequate facili- | tiek for caring therefor.” | Kilpateick Sall SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.
