RETIRED FROM MANAGEMENT OF STORE Oonstitution Bhattered in Building Up a Mammoth Business at Chioago. WAS FORMER RESIDENT OF DAVENPORT Begnn Mis Career as Merchant in Towa City and T Went to Iiinols Metropoils, Where He Became Famous. CHICAGO, July 28.—A. M. Rothschild, until two months ago the head of the State street department firm of A. M. Rothschild & Co., committed sulcide today at his home, Thirty-seventh court and Michigan, by shooting himself in the head, the wound in- Sicted causing almost instant desth. Acute insomnls, which probably caused temporary insanity, is said to be respon- sible for the deed. Mr. Rothschild re- turned from a six weeks' outing in Min- nesota the past week and seemed improved physicaily. At no time, it is sald, was his mengal condition such as to cause &ny ap- prehension that he contemplated self-de- struction. Bhortly after luncheon this afternoon Mr. Rothschild entered the bathroem of one of the upper floors of his home and almost immediately the servants heard the report of a revolver. Rushing to the bathroom, they found the merchant lying on the floor. A bullet wound in the forehead showed what had happened. Mr. Rothschild was atill breathing. A physiclan was sum- moned,: but could be of no service. 7Mr. Rothschild retired from the manage- ment of the big department store at State and Van Buren streets about two months ago, on account of ill-health, A constitu- tion ordinarily robust had been shattered in building up the business since its open- ing, seven years ago. Interested with him and the principal owner of the store was Nelson Morris, his father-in-law. Mr.. Rothschild was born in the little German village of Nordstetten ffty-seven years ago. When a child of 5 years he came, to America, and while in his teens went to Davenport, Ia. With his two ‘brothers he established a general store. In 1876 he came to Chicago and immediately ‘began making a reputation for himself, or- ganizing in 1895 the department store which pow bears his mame. Mr, Rothschild was s & P i — Many Injured, Ten of Them Seriously, ia Disturbances in the Streets. PARIS, July 3§—Many persons injured, ten of them seriously, and hundreds rested are the net results of the street disturbances yesterday in which both cler- ical and anti-clerical demonstrations brought abdut by the closing of unauthor- ized religious schools, were made. There were great crowds on the boule. vards throughout the evening In expect: tion of further rioting. A large proce slon of students shouting and singing was dfspersed by the police and attempted red- flag demonstrations at the Strasburg statue also were broken up. Quiet was restored at midnight. Francols Coppe, the author, and M. Lerolle, a nationalist deputy, who were arrested last week in connection with the anti-clerical rioting, addressed a great meeting, which was held in a riding school in the Rue d'Enghion tonight to protest against the government's action in the matter of the closing of the unau- thorized congregationist schools. M. Cop- pee In & vigorous denunciation of the gov- ernment made remarks hostile to Presi- t Loubet. After recelving a demon- stration, & countsr-demonstration to M. Coppee occurred in the senate, but the po- lice were able to maintaln order. TELEPHONES WITHOUT WIRES Electrical Inventor Succeeds Talking Over Seven Kilometers Without Wire. BERLIN, July 28.—Ernest Fuhmas, an electrical Inventor, succeeded Saturday evening In telephoning seven kilometers by his wireless method. The speaking volce was perfectly audible continuously , during the éxperiments.. Ruhmer, who has hitherto used a searchlight cenfimeters in dlameter, intends to col struct’ a larger one, expecting to speak forty kilometers, which would be a ai tance sufficlent to a modern ecity. It 1s afirmed, however, that the apparatus is too large, too expensive and too delicate to be practicable commercially, but it will be highly useful to warships in trans- mitting orders at eea. Herr Ruhmer's in- ‘vention acts on the principle of transform- atlon of light waves to sound waves with @ searchlight and a michrofone. ATTITUDE TOWARDS TRUST Balt Says it is Impossible for Brit- ish Government to D Position Now. LONDON, July 28.—The premle . Balfour, in the House of Commons toda: In reply to & question in reference to the Atlantic shipping trust, . said it was im- probable that the government would be in ® position to formulste & attitude toward the trus cess of Parllament on August 8. If any agreement were to be made with the trust, iovoiving a financial arrange- ment, such agreement, necessarily, would be subject to the approval of the house.

What the colonles and ‘Great Britain ehould do was to join In common cause to meet American competition. Should this be dome, the result need not be feared, sald Mr. Seddon, because the Brit- Yeh workmen and manufacturers were un- equaled in the whole world. All the colonial premiers, with the ex- ception of Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the prime minister of Canada, who is {n London, were given a great ovation here today. Mr. Bar- ton, the prime minister of the common- wealth of Australia, in one of the many speeches he delivered in the course of the day, warned his hearers that the British empire was large enough and that Britons now. ought te look to consolidation rather than to acquisition. George W. Ross, premier of Ontarlo, de- clared in a speech that the war in South Africa was prolonged to the extent it had been because there were so few colonial troops in the field. ENTERTAIN GENERAL DEWET Famous Leader Goes to Capetown Quietly, but Afrikanders Tender Him Banquet. CAPE TOWN, July 28.—General Dewet proved that he could evade friends as suc- cessfully as he did encmies by riving here unexpectedly this afternoon and up- setting all the elaborate plans prepared for his feception. He strolled through the streets, casually nodding to acquaintances and occasionally to a former opponent. Ar- rangements were quickly made by Afri- kanders to entertain the famous leader to- night at a semi-private dinner, tickets to which already stand at five guineas pre- mium. A striking contrast to Dewet's return was the scene Sunday when Generals Botha and Delarey attended church. The bullding was packed mainly with women, and the sorvice was scarcely' concluded when these aps Town admirers stormed the pew In which the gemerals sat. With difficulty they retreated to the vestry. The congre- gation followed and Generals Botha and Delarey were lifted to the vestry table. The pastor of the church warmly remonstrated, whereupon & number of those present ed the generals and carried them to carriages, where another monstration ensued. MACNEIL ENTERS PROTEST Irish Nationalist Opposes Appoint- ment of m as Lord I m mn—xnnmm of Com- “ today Jobn G. S. MacNeil (Irish na. ‘tionallst) moved a protest against the ap- pointment of Lord Alderstone, lord chiet justice of England, and Sir John Bingham, Judge of the king’s bench division of the high court of justice, who, together with Major Sir John Ardagh, recently agent of the government on the South African laims commiesion, were appointed last week a royal commission to proceed to South Africa August 9 and inquire into sentences imposed by the military court with the view of ascertalning whether it i expedient that such sentences and fin be remitted or reduced. Mr, MacNeil ma tained that the attitude of Lord Alderstone and Sir John Bingham toward the Jameson aid commission utterly unfitted them to fulfill their present duties. Mr. Brodrick, the war secretary, de ferided the selaction of Lord Alderstone and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, sup- ported the government. Mr. MacNeil's mo- tion was defeated—210 votes to 64.

Bitter Contest Bflm Oandidates in New Jersay Oauses Trouble, \ ONE MAN DEAD AND ANOTHER DYING Resnlt of Primaries Close, but Latest Returns Indicate Louden CAMDEN, N. J, July 28.—The primary election for delegates to the convention of the First congressional district of New Jersey were held this afternoon and every- thing in Camden, Gloucester and Salem countles, which comprise the district. The candidates for the nomination are Henry C. Loudenslager, the present congressman, and J. Alpeus Van Sant. The contest has been ome of the most bitter ever held in southern New Jersey. The polls were oben from 5 p. m. to 8 p, m. and the three hours were marked with serlous fighting. One man was killed in this city and “Joe" Goddard, the well-known heavyweight pu- gilist of Philadelphia, was probably fa- tally shot while electioneering in Pen- spuken township; another man was dan- gerously stabbed In this city, and a fourth man recelved stab wounds at “Dog Cor- ner,” near Merchantville. Goddard was ut a voting place in Pensau- ken township when he was shot. He was with a number of men who were traveling from one polling place to another. The pu- gllist got_into a quarrel with a colored constable named Robert Washington. It is alleged that Goddard assaulted the con- stable with a base ball bat and that the colored man, in self-defense, shot Goddard in the head. The constable surrendered himself to the police and the wounded prize fighter was brought to Cooper hos- pital here, where the physiclans say he may dle. Near the polling place Constable Isaac Fowler, while in a fight, was stabbed twice. His wounds, though painful, are not considered serlous. There was con- siderable trouble in Pensauken township and at Merchantville, and a number of persons were badly beaten. The most serious affray occurred at Third and Beckett streets in this city. Bach side had a crowd at the polling place at that point and a general riot was started. When it was all over it was found that a man, who was later found to be John Morrissey of Philadelphia, had been shot through the heart by some un- known person, and that a policeman, not in uniform, named Harry Miller, re- ceived two cuts on the head and a prob- ably fatal stab wound in the left lung. There were a number of other persons hurt fn the fight, but not seriously so At midnight both sides claimed the elec- tion, but the returns up to that time from the three countles indicated that Van Sant had secured a majority of the delegates. The adherents of both Louden- slager and Van Sant charging each other with traud and numbers, of repeaters from St P most wfl’lfi.o returns at this hour show that Loudenslager will have a majority of about twenty-five delegate —_— FEEL AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK \ Violent Vibrations Are Experienced in Parts of California and Damage Results.

WASHINGTON, July 28.—(Special.j—"As an indication of the direstion in which prog- ress Is now being sought for and promoted Among sugar beet growers may be cited the proceedings of a recent meeting of the Ver- ein der Deutschen Zucker Industrie, a na- tional association of beet culturists and sugar manufacturers, wherein it was decided to offer a prize of 10,000 marks ($2,380) for the best process which can be devised for drying beet leaves and heads—i. e., the top which Is cut off when the sugar beet Is trimmed preparatory to grinding,” sa; Consul General Frank H.

Mr. McNally says that the money in use is paper currency and frac- tional nickel colns. The present value of the peso is about 15 cents in United States currency. In government decrees as to values, custom duties or other internal Tevenues where the peso is mentioned ref- erence is made only to the paper peso, which fluctuates in value from day to day.

The theory ut the police is that she was drugged, taken into the saloon and there killed. Blood stains were found on the gollar, mecktie and shirt of obe of the men under arrest. Immigration Bnml ‘Will Bee Men Are Not Browght from Eurepe. RUMOR OF -UNION PACIFIC'S PLAN Report that Company port Forelgn Meo! plant Strike Shops, eks to Im- tes to Sup< Thelr As the result of an effort to trace down & rumor that the Union Pacific would try to import skilled mechanics from Europe to take the places of strikers, District Sec- retary Grace of the machinists received a letter yesterday from the National Immi- gration bureau at Washington informing him that the department would make an official Investigation of this report and it true employ every means df preventing the Unfon Pacific from um its plan. President McNefl of the kers, who has been working on the same matter, has been advised in answer to letters to a clates in the east that every available re source will be exhausted in suppressing any such movement. The letter from the Immigration bureau to Mr. Grace oays that the department Is grateful for the advance Information.and ures the men here that if the Unton cific really should be contemplating such a step it will be intercepted and the immi- gration laws, which strictly forbid such importation of foreign labor to supplant American labor, rigidly enforced. The understanding of the strikers here«ds that the company’s plan contemplates most of the European importations from the oity of Glasgow, the great center of mechanical industries and the home of the most skilled workmen. MeNeil Discredits Story. “I take little stock in that story,” sald President McNell, when asked his opinion s to the authenticity of the report. “The laws of the country are so strict upon that | subject that the Union Pacific Rallroad com- pany would not dare to undertake such a step as that. Tt would be folly to suppose that the company did not fully appreciate the grav- lity ot the law In this case. Of cours there is some possibility of the report be- Ing true; things of that kind have been undertaken, but I must confess I am not disposed to put much faith fn this rumor. At any rate, we are not annoyed over it whother it be true or not, for we feel cer- tain that the law will be sustalned and the company would fall, even if it at- tempted such a movement.” Views of other strike leaders differ from thia. Some are strongly of the opinion that the company has gone to this extent of trying to supplant its old men. District Segretary Grace and others who, while not vouching for the veracity of the report, argue that the company has had sufficient time in which to find out whether it could get skilled mechanics on this side of the water. It bas been conclusively demon- strated, they assert, that an adequate number of skilled men cannot be secured (in America, outside of the unions, and ihat Tealiving. this, the compuny bas decided. to make a final effort to fill its shops before yielding to the strikers. “Probably you obsorved that at first the company went no further than Chicago for its nonunion men; then it brancied out to Milwaukee, picked up a few in Kansas City and jumped to the north, bringing down small forces from St. Paul and Minneapo- lis. Then they landed some from Cleveland and the last batch that came in came from as far east as Philadelphia, and only last week a man quit at North Platte who had come all the way from New York to go to work. It'looks to me ltke a fair test has been made and the company has been shown that it cannot get even enough un- skilled or nonunion men to take the strikers’ places.” This s the view of Mr. Grace. = Nonunion Men Meet. The honunion men In the shops held a meeting yesterday afternoon. What was done was not known outside of their own circles, but some who deserted later in the day reported that there was a strong feeling of unrest and that the entire force was on the verge of leaving the shops. Strikers’ pickets reported last night that twenty-five of the men quit at the close of work hours. This report could not be confirmed. Nine men appeared at Labor temple, however, claiming to have been among the number that had left the shops and thé gave the information that sixteen others were in the office of General Fore- man Tuttle, demanding their time, when these men left. Those who came out base their com- plaints unon the introduction of plecework, saying they could not earn a fair day's pay at th em. Two of the men who came out sald they had 360 each, saved trom thelr earnings in the shops. Regarding the number of men intro- duced into the shops and those deserting the officials and strikers are at direct variance in. thelr statements. The off- clal positively deny that as many men have deserted as claimed by the strikers and hold that the quota on the Nebraska division s almost up to normal. Further, they dispute the assertion that there is any serious defection among thelr men, and persistently deny that the men bave been forced to pay thelr own board or accept plecework, only in exceptional cases. The company is &s positive in its clalms as the strik in theirs and officials ex- press the utmost stonishment at what they regar illusions of the strikers. President McNell of the Brotherhood of Bollermakers and Iron Shipbullders last night recelved a telegram from the Lou ville & Nashyille, the Alabama & Great Southern and other roads entering Bir- mingham, on which the boflermakers are striking, requesting him to order the men back to work, but he refused to comply with this request, saying that while some of the roads had acceded to the demand of the men for 35 cents an hour, thoso that joined in this request bad not ylelded, but wanted to compromise matters on about 32% cents. Telegraphers Will Meet. The exeoutie board of the Order of Rallway Telegraphers will begin a serles of meetings in Omaha today to adjust lo- cal. differences. Their affairs are sald to have no relation, however, to the present labor troubles on the Union Pacific. Willlam Hockenberger, the Denver mem- ber of the board of adjustment of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, reached the city yesterday to comsult with General Manager Dickinson regarding minor grievances of the engineers on his aivision. Boflermakers' oficiale have announced that every member of thelr craft who does mot furn out for the parade today will be fined $5.
