TONOPAH, Aug. 12.—The meat cut- ters struck today. in local shops belonging to the Interna- tional Workers of the World demahded that the shops close at 6 every night except Saturday, when they should re- main open until 8, and that they stay closed all day Sunday. Four of the five shops refused the demand and tayd their men to report for work this morn- ing as usual. The men did not do so. The employers say that it is impossi- ble for families without icehouses to use meat bought on Saturday, as the meat is usually brought from cold stor- age in Reno and i6 eight or ten days old when it reaches Tonopah. The men are receiving $5 a day and full time for khalf a day on Sundays. The employers do not object to closing earlier in the evenings, but declare that they must keep open Sunday morning. The bosses have banded together to fight the men. e e Fatal Issue of a Crap Game.

Bonaparte delivered an address this evening at the | Allggheny Chautauqua near Cumber- | 1and Letore a large gathering, his sub- | ject being “Anarchism and Its Rem- edy.” Secretary Bonaparte said in closing: On anarchists the death penalty should be unequivocally imposed by |law and inflexibly executed, whenever | the prisoner has sought, directly or in- directly, to tgke life; for offenses of less gravity I advise a comparatively rief but very rigorous imprisonment characterized b{' complete seclusion, deprivation of all comfort and denial of any form of distraction, and which could be, to my mind, advantageously supplemeénted by a severe but not a public whipping. The lash of all pun- ishments most clearly shows the cul- prit that he suffers for what his fellow men hold odious and disgraceful and not merely for reasons of public policy. Any abridgment for fear. of anarch- ists of that freedom of speech and of | the press guaranteed us by our State and = Federal Legislatures' would be neither a wise nor a worthy policy, | but these privileges in no wise shield councilors of crimé nor instigators of disorder and rebellin.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The balloon which goes up daily at Bergen Beach and turns loose the aeronaut at a dizzy height for a descent in hs parachute took fire in midair today. The aero- naut and his assistant, after fighting the flames at a height of 100 feet from the ground, came down with the col- lapsed balloon and were badly, per- haps, fatally injured. The accident ocurred over the grounds of the Arlington Hotel in Flatbush. The injured men are Wilson Ellesquist, lthe aeronaut, and Joseph Morse, his assistant. The people on the porch of the hotel saw that there was something wrong with the balloon. It swayed in the air and began to smoke. Presently they were terrified to see it was afire. The horrified people watched the struggle in midair, powerless to give any aid. The balloon descended, wab- bling, until it' was within a hundred feet of the ground, then suddenly col- lapsed, and the smoking ruins, ingolv- ing the men, fell in a heap in frdfit of the hotel. Doctors found the men to be masses of burns and bruises, and both were manifestly injured internally. The graves ‘fears are entertained for their recovery. SHORTAGE FIGURED AT A MILLION. CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—State Bank Ex- aminer C. C. Jones completed his in- spection of the affairs of the defunct Milwaukee avenue State Bank this af- ternoon and will forward -his report on it to the authorities at Sprinfield to- morrow. The official was reticent con- cerning the exact results of his inyesti- gations, but intimated that the total shortage discovered was between $800- 000 and $1,000,000. 3 The lochl police and the State Attor- ney’'s office continued their inquiries to- day. Inspector Shippy questioned more than a dozen of the bank's employes, seeking information from watchmen, bookkeepers, assistant tellers and other minor officials. . One bookkeeper as positive that President Stensland’sson was cognizant ot the shaky condition of the bank previous to July 14, the date on _which young Stensland says he first suspected irregularities on the part of his father. Other employes told the inspector of midnight trips‘to the bank by President Stensland and Cashier Hering. . According to the Chicago Chronicle, Paul O. Stensland, the president of the defunct bank and for whom the police in eyery important city are watching, has beeri seen in Chicago twice within a week. Two witneses, one of whom, ‘William Jennings, was for five years a porter in the bank, told today. of having met the banker on tne street. Each time, it is asserted, he was ac- 1 ied by .

LOUIS, Aug. 12.—A letter re-| celved in this city from Zurich, Swit- zerland, under date of August 1, brings the first definite statement of Willlam Jennings Bryan's programme for turn- ing the rallroads of the country over| to the Federal and State governments. The plan_ is new and has been care- fully worked out. The letter, which is from a newspaper correspondent, says: “Mr. Bryan will attack the trusts| in his New York speech and it is pos- sible that he will go further and give his views on certain forms of public| ownership of the utllitles, with es-| pecial reference to railroads, both in- terstate‘and within States. “His plan would admit of the own- ership of certain trunk lines by the general Governmeént, in order that those famously efficient should not in any way suffer impairment, but he would insist that the local lines in every State be owned by the separate States, thus preserving more effectu- ally the idea of State individuality | which, in Mr. Bryan's opinion. would in time be wiped out if all lines passed | into Federal control. The enormous patronage that would be the result of such a railroad man- | agement in America would, of course, tend to intrench the party in power, and would in time accomplish what Mr. Bryan fears—the abolition of State boundaries.” | BRYAN ANNOUNCES PLANS. Cables That He Will Arrive in New York on August 30. PARIS, Aug. 12—Willlam J. Bryan and his party went in automobiles to Fontainbleu today, where they visited the palace. Bryan hopes to pay his re- spects to President Fallieres at Ram- bouillet Monday or Tuesday. Bryan cabled C. W.

WONAN. NOYING “THE PRESIDENT Female Crank at Oyster Bay Creates a Scene During ChurchService: SEEKS INTERVIEW NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Miss Asi L.| Esac, who Is summering In Oyster Bay/ for the purpose of interviewing the President or Mrs. Roosevelt on what she declares is “a matter of life and death,” created a scene during the ser- vice in Christ Episcopal Church to- day. Miss Esac, or Miss Case, as her name is supposed to be, has attended every church meeting the President has attended here since July. She has climbed Sagamore Hill on fogt several times, only to be turned away by the secret service men. She presented herself early today at the church and took a seat directly be- hind the pew usually occupied by the Roosevelt family. When Usher James Duffy requested her to relinquish this seat shé refused. Duffy forcibly re-| moved her to the rear of the church, and Miss Esac says he tore her gown | in so doing. For this act she later applied for a warrant for Duffy’'s ar- rest, but was refused. In the rear of the church Miss Esac refused to sit down. A secret service agent stood beside her and during the service gshe made no less than a dozen attempts to get past him. As the Pres- ‘ ident was leaving the church the secret | service men surrounded Miss Esac, but| she shouted: “Mr. President, Mr. Pres- ident, President Roosevelt, won't you | speak to me a moment?” ‘The President turned his head as he passed, but he did not pause. Miss Esac says her watch chain was broken in this scrimmage and her watch fell to the floor. The President was accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Quentin and Represent- | ative and Mrs. Longwortu. | Miss Esac has stated to acquaintances she has made while here that she was to have been married three weeks after Miss Roosevelt became Mrs. Long- worth; that she was to have married a high Government official, and that it | was this wrong she sought to redress. When the President’s carriage had de- parted Miss Esac was allowed to go. It was then she sought a warrant for| Duffy. She says she will stay in Oys- | ter Bay until she accomplishes her pur- | pose. Representative and Mvys. expect to leave for Washington Cincinnati tomorrow. giro gt LB G REFORMERS AFTER SARATOGA RACE TRACK BETTING MEN | Longworth | and | | Higgins by Demanding Extra Session of Legislature.

Takes Poison and Her Friends Do Not Call Doctor Till Too Late NO PITY IS SHOWN Suffering from 'a toothache from wkich she could get no relief and brooding over family troubles led Mrs. Harry Stevens of 38 Parkside avenue to end her life yesterday afternoon by drinking chloroform. While she was dying in great agony Carl Bennett, her brother-in-law, walked leisurely into the Park Emergency Hospital and of- fered the surgeon in attendance $50 to “attend a sick woman.” He did not ex- plain the seriousness of the case and when the facts became known nearlyl an hour later Mrs. Stevens was beyond the aid of physicians. She was removed to the hospital, however, and shortly afterward died. Mrs. Stevens arrived here from Chi- cago about.a month ago and went to live with Bennett and her sister, Miss Anna Snelling, on Parkside avenue. Be= fore leaving Chicago divorce proceed- ings were .begun by her husband, and upon arriving here she learned that steps were to be taken to deprive herl of the custody of her five-year-old daughter, who is being cared for by friends In Stockton. These familyy troubles, together with a toothache from which she could get no relief, are supposed to have mentally unbalanced her and in a fit of desperation she swallowed the poison. Her cries of pain, after taking the poison, attracted attention and Bennett was dispatched for a doctor. Aftem walking several blocks Bennett went to the Park Emergency Hospital and of- fered Dr. Glover $30 to “attend a sick woman.” Glover, on learning that the patient was not to be taken to the hospi= tal, informed Bennett that he could not leave the hospital while on duty. Bene nett departed and a half-hour later ap= peared at the police sjation and told the story of Mrs. Stevens' desperate deed. The ambulance was immediately sent| after her and when she reached the hospital she was breathing her last. Bennett gave the woman's name at the Emergency Hospital as Mrs. Rose Quinn #nd his own as C. Stone, while he said that a woman who accom- panied him was his wife. He declared that the polson was taken to cure a toothache and not with suicidal intent. After Mrs. Stevens' death he told the truth of the affair and offered as an ex- cuse for his conduct that he feared the notoriety likely to follow if the unfor- tunate woman was taken to the hospi- tal. Had the case been called to the attention of a physician immediately after Mrs. Stevens swallowed the poi- son there is little doubt but bher life could have been saved. —_— SON OF A FAMOUS INDIAN IS A BASEBALL UMPIRE Sitting Bull Jr. Judges Plays om the Diamond His Decisions Are Never Questioned. ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 13.—Sitting Bull Jr, son of the famous Indian chief, is a baseball umpire and has given up the tomahawk and the scalp- ing knife to don the mask and chest protector to judge the plays om the diamond. He is as good an umpire as his father was a fighter. There is no playing with him. When he makes a decision it goes. Amateur | teams have the inclination to “kill the umpire” more times during a same than any professional team, but none of them has ever had a desire to kill Sitting Bull Jr. He is a large Indian, even when compared with some of the glant mem- bers of his tribe.
