WOMEN HELP THE STRIKERS.
Plum Creek Miners Persuaded to Qni
Work Through Their WLves.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. S.-Although to-
day was considered Il day of rest
among the strikers. probably the most
effective work among the Plum Greek
miners was performed, and as n result
the strikers have been assured that con
siderably less than 200 ilen will be al
work tomorrow at the mine.
A large mass meeting was held at
Camp Isolation, at Plum Creek this at
ternoon which in addition to about 200
others was attended by about 200
women, the wives and daughters of the
miners who are still mt work in the
Plum Creek mines. Notwithstanding the
fact that deputies visited the homes of
these people and advised them not to
attend the meeting. nearly every wire.

Because of the many restrictions put
on the strikers they have hitherto been
unable 10 get n chance TO argue their
cause with the Plum Creek workmen
and the occasion given them today was
taken advantage of to the fullest ex'
tent. The unusual opportunity to
day was the result of the missionary
work of the wives of the strikers from
Mcdonald, Finleyvllle and Carnegie
These women have been working assid-
uously during the past week, and secur-
ed the promise of the wives of the
working miners to attend the meeting
and bring their husbands.
The result of the meeting was the as
surance from nearly n hundred men
that they would join the strikers to-
morrow. The plan is for the men TO
work until they receive their twenty
days pay, which will be given them to-
morrow, and they are to desert the pit,
leaving only eight days pay back.

company in the case of the Sandy

In the discussion of terms of peace
between Greece and Turkey, frequent
reference has been made TO Turkeys
demand for the abolition of the capitu-
lations. These capitulations are the
provisions by which Greek subjects
resident in Turkey share with the
subjects of other independent powers
the right to appeal from Turkish trib-
unals to their own consular courts.
There are several million Greeks living
in different parts of the Turkish en-
pire. and among them are many active
business men, and some of large means.
Turkish courts are VIGOROUSLY oppres-
sIve and corrupt, and it would be a
serious matter to these millions of
Greeks If they were left without appeal
from their jurisdiction.

POTASH DESTROYS A coRPsr,
Grewsome Test Completes the Web Against
Inetgert. the San.nEe Maker.

Luetgert. the Sausage Maker.
Chicago, Aug, 9.-The experiment of
destroying human body by the Use
of crude potash was successfully car
ried out. The body was destroyed
with the exception OF n few small
splinters of bone in two hours. OF the
tleshy substance only small guam
tity of fluid about the consistency of
molasses remained
The experiment was made under the
orders Of the prosecution in the case
of Adolph Luetgert, the rich sausage
manufacturer, who is charged with
numbering his wife and disposing of
her body in the watts at his factory
The theory of the prosecution was
that Luetgert placed the body of his
wife In solution of crude potash and
cold water, raised the solution to n
boiling heat and destroyed all traces
of his alleged crime. A few small
bones were said to have been found in
vat in the factory. The state has
wound n complete web of circumstan-
tial evidence about the sausage maker
but the fact that body could thus
be destroyed has been disputed. To.
days test settles that point beyond n
doubt. The cadaver was cut up.
placed in the solution, the fire was
started and In n short time the flesh
had completely dissolved. The frame
did not melt so quickly. but at the end
of two hours nothing remained except
n few splinters and small amount
of fluid.
The attorneys for the state were en-
tirely satisfied with the test and be-
iieve the last linl; in the chain of cir
cumstaces has been found to convict
Luetsert of his alleged crime.
