ONE MORE EFFORT.

1t VIII be Made to Settle the Milk War
The Dealers Defiant-The Shippers Union
About to Collapse.
Since the milk dealers have made such a
successful arrangement with the non-union
farmers that they can get all the milk which
is wanted to supply their customers, the
members of the Shippers Union are very anx-
ious to shake hands again with the dealers and
let by-gones be by-gones- A member of the
Executive Committee of the Producers Union
said to a reporter yesterday
"Our arrangements with the CHARTERS
Creamery Company has done US great deal Of
harm. We have not only lost the good will of
the dealers, but our entire organization is
about to collapse. I think we shall have one
more meeting and after that we will have to
disband. OF course we cannot blame Mr..
Reed; he tried to do the best he could for all
of us, but the thing has failed. We are going
to meet the Dealers Union on the last Of this
month, and another effort will be made to se-
cure an arrangement with them. Whether 1t
will be successful or not am not able to say"
A member of the Milk Dealers Union, when
asked what they proposed to do with the ship
pers said: I'VE do not recognize the old Ship
pers' Union any longer, ANY farmer who
wants to ship his milk to the dealers has to
Join our union. The Executive Committee of
the producers organization has defed us so
long that we got tired of it, and now we pro-
pose to stick to those farmers who have helped
us out when we wanted milk very badly"

A Young Lady From Ohio Township Re-

George, alias dad" Schroebel, was ar
rested by Officer Alexander, of Allegheny,
yesterday on a charge of felonious shooting,
which occurred in Ohio township last Friday.
Onthat day the prisoner went out on the
Perrysville road to visit his brother and in
some way became involved in quarrel with
neighbor named Smith. The latter has a
daughter, young lady, named Mary Smith,
who went out on the road to induce her father
to come into the house and as she laid her hand
on her fathers arm Schroebel fired pistol at
him. The ball struck the girl on the arm. The
wound was not a serious one, but Schroebel
did not know the extent of it
He Immediately left the locality and early
Saturday morning the father of the wounded
girl came to town and made information before
Mayor Pearson, charging him with felonious
shooting.
Since that time the detectives have been on
the lookout for Schroebel, but he kept out of
their way. He was apprehended by Officer
Alexander on Ohio street yesterday and at
once arrested and locked up. He viii be given
a hearing this morning;

BREWERS VERY MAD.
The Non-Residents Will Boycott Pitts
burg Iron, Glass and Cork Men.
sOSAYSMR.A BUSCH, OF ST. LOUIS,
he Claims the Home Brewers Make the
Meanest Beer on Earth.
ANNUAL LOSS TO THE CITY, $1o,OOO,ooo

Mr. Adolphus Busch, of the firm oi
Annheuser-Busch,t the st. Louis brewers,
was passenger eastbound las. night.
Mr.. Busch was on his way to Europe with
his three handsome daughters and two
young sons. He was easily induced to talk,
and this is what he said:
"Who is this Judge White who has been
knocking out the foreign brewers in Pitts
burg and some of the home brewers, too
1 am told he revoked the licenses of some Of
the best saloonkeepers in the city. One
thing is true, that he has greatly injured
my business, and not only myself, but all
the Western brewers feel sore. We are sur
prised that the press and the Chamber of Com
merce did not take up the matter.
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT.
Lately 1. have personally visited all the
brewers in Milwaukee, Chicago and st. Louis.
We have formed an association and have de-
termined to buy no more iron, bottles or corks
in Pittsburg. The foreign brewers annually
paid into Pittsburg S5,OOO.OOO for iron, and as
much more for bottles and corks. Last
year I bought from the Key
stone Construction Company $4,000 worth
of structural iron but will buy no more here
until Lnls eInDaIRO against my business Is Io-
moved. The brewers try to support Pittsburg
Industries; but, when our business is assailed,
the people we have helped stand idly by and
partially approve of it. If this is the kind Of
people that live in this city we don't care to
have anything more to do with them. We will
buy our iron hereafter in Chicago, and the bot
ties we will get at Streator, Ill.
VERY PIzEN QUERY.
"Why is it that the foreign brewers, who are
acknowledged to make the best beer in the
country, are knocked Gut while the Pittsburg
brewers, who make the meanest beer on earth,
are allowed to sell? 1t is not right and it is
strange the people have not openly objected.
"Yes, the foreign brewers have agreed to as
sist the anti-Prohibitionist in this State. We
will contribute our share to down the amend
ment.
Another thing notice is the numerous
strikes in Pittsburg. That is the fault of the
high tariff. The workmen will allow them
selves to be gulled by the mill owners before
an election but as soon as it is over their wages
are reduced. 1 wonder how long men will be
fools enough to be duped in this manner2"

COGLSON'S CUTENESS.
Murder Trial Postponed Because an Inn

Murder Trial Postponed Because an Inn
porrant Witness Is GOne.-The Derec.
tive Traces and Corners Him.
When the Criminal Court opened yester-
day morning it was intended to proceed
with the trial of Charlie Allen, the colored
man who killed Bud Lee, also colored, at the
Yellow Row on March "a; but, when Detective
Coulson looked over the assembled witnesses
in the case, he discovered that one very impor-
tant witness, George Owens, was missing. In
quiry developed that Owens had left the city
last Thursday, and no one appeared to know
where he had gone. Detective COulson had
subpoenad him as witness on Wednesday
night, and he left early the next moaning.
As soon as the discovery was made Coulson
went to the Yellow Row to find out. if possible
where Owens was. Mollie Reynolds, who was
Owens ''best girl" was not at home when
Coulson called, but he returned to court and
had the trial postponed, and then went back to
wait for the woman.
By the time he got back again to the Yellow
Row the woman had returned. and the detect
i've decided to arrest her. He went in and,
with detectives intuition, told the woman to
show him the contents of her pockets.
She demurred at first, but he insisted. and
the woman finally pulled out a money order re.
cept for $40. which she had telegraphed to Bal
timore about an hour before The order had
been addressed to man named German for
Owens. This was sufficient for the
detective, who placed the woman in
charge of another officer to prevent
her from sending Owens any word. while he
proceeded to the telegraph Office and wired
Marshal Frey, of that city, to arrest Owens. A
telegram was received from the Marshal at 10
O'Clock last night that Owens had been ar
rested. Coulson will go after him this morning.
Owens is the man in front of whose house
the murder was committed and Allen was with
Owens at the time. The revolver used also be-
longed to Owens. but it was not supposed that
he had any connection with the murder.
Within the past day or two, however, certain
information has reached the authorities which
resulted in an information being entered
against him as an accessory to the murder. 1t
is supposed he heard of this, and thar is what
caused his departure.
The murder trial will probably be commenced
tomorrow if Coulson gets home in time with
his prisoner.
