DES MOINES, June 23.—(Special)—The telephone strikc In Des Moines s still on and the contest may be prolonged some time. The operators are all out and the companies have their places partially filled. Several conferences were held today be- tween the operators and the managers, gen- erally informal, since the managers re- fuse to receive the strikers in a body or to treat with them collectively. Nothing was accomplished at any of these various conferences and both sides are firm. Reports are that some of the telephone wires in the outekirts of the city have been cut by irresponsible persons who sympa- thize with the strikers. The Mutual had elghteen girls at work today in the main office and two in the East Side station, practically all inexperienced girls, and the lTowa company had sixteen operators at work, with a number more ready. One of the striking operators returned to work at the Mutual, but the strikers claim that they have induced a number of the girls brought here from other points to take thelr places to join the union and follow the strikers The strikers are encouraged by the ac- tion of the Trades and Labor assembly in appointing a committee to take action in assisting the etrikers in case there Is no immediate settlement. The electric work- ers are also ready to act. At their meeting held in a park the soclalists also gave en- couragement to the strikers. Dentist to Go to Armenia.

BOY ENDS LIFE BY HANGING Twelve-Year-0ld Walter Davis Fears and Chooses Death Instead. Punishment CRESTON, Ia, June 23.—(Spectal)— Walter Davis, a young boy who resided with his father In Lenox, a small town south of here, committed sulcide yesterday by hanging himself with a halter rope from the hay loft. The lad was in good spirits at noon and was engaged in mowing the weeds. The team he was driving ran away and he went to the barn and secured a halter rope, pulled a ladder up to the hay mow and swung himself off. His father was not at home at the time and his body was not discovered until several hours after the | deed 1s supposed to have taken place. He was but 12 years of age and was in the best of health. No cause is given for the rash act unless it was fear of punish- ment for allowing the team to get away. His father, G. W. Davis, is highly re- spected In the community, Hamilten Corn Crop a Total Fallure. WEBSTER CITY, Ia., June 23.—(Special.)

A revolutionary movement broke out dur- ing the night of May 23 in Cludad Bolivar, capital of the state of Bolivar.

Moore denies that the tracks lead- ing from the murdered man's house to his own were made by him. LAUNDRYMEN TO ORGANIZE Meet at Fort Dodge to Consummate Permanent Association in Five States. the government has 5,000 of is best troops, the situation is unchanged. The revolu- occupled the towns of Barcelona, Carupano and Cumana. Genearl Matos, whose march on Caracas has been delayed by rains, is at present in the vicinity of those districts and hundreds of bands are awaiting his passage to incorporate themselves with his army. In a word, the situation is less favorable for President Castro than it was a month ago and every day it becomes more un- tavorable to him. Caracas is believed to be on the eve of grave events. It {s positively affirmed that President Castro intends to offer resistance in the capital if he is beaten in the de- cisive battle which will probably be fought in the environs of Valencia. President Castro has signed a decree providing for the temporary opening of the port of Udana, on the frontier of Co- lombia, for the outlet of Colomblan mer- chandise which has been stored for upward of nine months In Cucuta. These goods belong to German and American firms and consist for the greater part of skins esti- mated to number 50,000 and of coffee said to aggregate 35,000 sacks. Venezuela charges a heavy toll on the tranelt and it is therefore a clear profit for the government.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 23.—The hear- ing on the injunction suit brought by the government to restrain the Kansas City- Chicago and the Kansas City-St. Louls rail- roads from discriminating in freight rates in favor of packing houses and other large conderns, was continued in the federal court today until October 13. In the meantime the temporary restraining order granted in April will remain in effect. The appli tion for the continuance was made by the railroads and consented to by the attorney general. When the sult for the injunction was filed, based on information obtained by the Interstate Commerce commission June 23 was fixed as the date for a hearing on a motlon to make the injunction permanent, and it was arranged that the case should be heard in Chicago by Judge Phillips and Judge Grosseup jointly; the proceedings having been brought concurrently In the two jurisdictions. At the time the application for the writ was made the attorneys for the different railroads allowed a temporary order to be issued with the understanding that they waived mo right or privilege to move a dissolution of the injunction later. The same agreement governs the contin- uance of the order now in force. Page Institute in August.
