HARRIMAN PLANS GANT COMBINE Magnate May Soon Control the Ship- Building Trust. Bethlehem Steel Company to Be an Annex of the Concern. Special Dispatch to The Call. PHILADELPHIA Aug. 16.—If the pres- ent plans of Edward H. Harrlman of New York are carried to a successful end the Bethlehem £teel Company will become an annex of a great ship building combina- tion. This proposed union of interests is intended to include the Upion-Iron Works of San Francisco, the Newport News Ship- buflding Company, the Nixon Shipbuild- ing Ccmpany and the Harlan & Hoellings- worth Company. _ Harriman figures as the chief promoter Of the monster combination.” The Beth- lehem Compa. will first pass under the control of Charles M. Schwab on Septem- ber 28, when he will pay the last install- ment of $7,500.000 in purchase money. Robert H. Linderman, president of the Bethlehem Company, and Joseph W. Har- ton, the largest stockholders, were the men who negotiated the sale to Schwab. In an interview to-d: Linderman said: “Without any positive knowledge, but from what I have heard, 1T am led to be- lieve that there is a plan to join the Beth- lehem shipbuilding combine, which is to iake in the Union Iron Works, the Nixon Shipbuilding Company, the Newport News concern and the Harian & Hollingsworth, but neither the Cramps nor the New York Shipbuilding Company.” At a meeting of the stockholders to-day the purchase of the Bethlehem Iron Com- pany was speedily effected and bonds for $7.500,000 were authorized to pay for the plant. Lawyer Max Pam of New York was present as Schwab's representative. R o GECIL HODES MAKES DENIL |South African Magnate Resents Anonymous Charges. —_—— LONDON, Aug. 17.—An anonymous let- declared that Cecil Rhodes, by a contribution of £5000 to the funds of the party, had in- duced the Liberals to abandon their pol- icy as to Egypt, which favors evacuation. Thereupon the Spectator insinuated that this arrangement explained the tender- ness which the Liberals displayed toward Rhodes in the inquiry as to the Jameson raid. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, on be- half of himself and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, declared the story “a lie from beginning to end.” To-day Rhodes writes to the Spectator promising to get the cor- respondence on the subject from South Africa and to publish it. adding that “the correspondence speaks for itself.” The anonymous correspondent also re- veals himself as Charles Boyd. who, ac- cording to the Dally News, is a journal- ist having confidential relations with the British South Africa Chartered Company. From the comments of the Liberal papers it now appears conclusive that the late Schnadhorst, the Liberal organizer, accepted £5000 from Rhodes. The Specta- tor itself repudiates thig version and charges the Liberal party with accepting a bribe. The Daily Graphic, in the course of a statement, says that both the Spectator and Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman have been over-hasty, that the transaction ap. pears perfectly’ legitimate, and that i would be well if all transactions with re- gard to party funds were as innocent and straightforward.

It was not young Patery's first experience under fire. In fact, he attributes his coolness during the affray to his familiarity with bullets gained by service in the Philippines with the Fourteenth United States Infantry. The close range fight at the residence was not of the dentist’s seeking, but when it was opened he did not hesitate to give the brace of shooting burglars all the trouble they could handle. He drove them out of the house, sending bullets after B e OFFICIAL CANVASS OF PRIMARY ELECTION RETURNS Changes Elect C. J. McGlynn, Who Was Apparently Defeated on Semi-Official Returns.

The Health Board met vesterday and approved a set of sanitary rules to govern barber shops. The rules will be sent to the Supervisors to be adopted as an ordi- nance and will also be submitted to the State Barber Examiners for approval. The rules are as follows: Mugs and shaving brushes shall be sterilized by immersion in boiling water after every sep- | arate use thereof. Razors shall be wiped with alcohol before' and after being used. Hair brushes known as ‘‘sanitary . brushes’ must he used after first being sterilized.

Reports from | unions were received and merely routine business was transacted. A committee of | ten was appointed to visit the various | unions for the purpose of soliciting finan- | clal support for the men who are now on strike. Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the Sail- | | ors’ Union, reported that conditions along the water front were satisfactory. In| speaking of the loss of the farmers and | fruit growers he said: “There is an immense quantity of wheat lying on the wharf at Port Costa and | along the banks of the Yuba River. It is in imminent danger of destruction. | They say that the fruit crop is in a bad | | state and that great losses will be suf- fered by the fruit growers. We would give almost anything we possess other | than our principles of unionism to pre- vent this loss and this suffering. “Numerous complaints have been re- ceived from the members of the building trades because they have been forced out of work. We are sorry for the building trades. We are sorry for the farmers and the fruit growers, but we cannot see our way to renounce the privileges which our fathers fought to gain for us. We in- tend to hold out until we win a victory | for our union or go dgwn in utter ruin. “The only complainf that we have to maké is that the Police Department is under such control that'its members are forced to treat us roughly in order to hold their jobs. We have made up our minds that we will not give any excuse for shooting or for calling out the militia. We are not doing any worrying about the specials. We feel that they could do more to break the strike by acting as long- shoremen and assisting in loading and unloading vessels than by riding about town with pistols in their pockets.” A report was recelved from the Beer Bottlers’ Union showing that one beer hottling establishment had conceded the demand of the union, had discharged its non-union bottlers and had union men at work. The following new delegates to the La- hor Council were seated: Samuel Grubb, National Association of Steam and Hot ‘Water Fitters and Helpers: T. J.

When it was all ended, the dentist found his shirt front covered with blood stains. He is convinced that he shot the burglar with whom he tussled in the hallway. In a front room was a bundle of dentist's tools and gold which had been packed by the thieves. The interruption caused by Dr. Patery’s arrival caused them to abanden the plunder. “There isn't anvthing more to be said about the affair,” remarked Dr. Patery to-day. “It was rather lively while it lasted. I am sure that one of the bur- glars was hit. and I hope the_ police will be able to find him.”* The burglars had their faces half hidden by handkerchiefs. Both appeared to be well dressed. As there was but little light in the hallway the dentist is unable to give anything but a very meager descrip- | tion of his assailants.
