ASSOCIATED PRESS
 ANSWERS PETITION
Officers of the Corporation Are Power.ess to Furnish Service Without Unanimous
 Consent of Other Papers.

Springfield, H., June 20.-In the supreme court today the Associated Press filed an answer to the petition for a mandamus by the New York Evening Journal. The an- swer touched practically the same points as that filed yesterday to the petition or the Denver Post.
 The answer recites that the officers of the incorporation are powerless to furnish the service applied for because, under con- tract with the other New York papers, unanimous consent is necessary, and the Press Publishing Company, which pub fishes the New York World refuses to grant permission.
 The answer recites that William R. Hearst owns a controlling interest in the Star (evening publication and the Journal (morning daily); that the Star is mem Der of the Associated Press, and that such member voted it eight shares of stock at the meeting last month against the adop- ton of a motion providing that the corpo- ration should furnish service to all persons making application. The answer denies that an application was made by the Jour nal for service until May IT, and charges that the petition is not filed in good faith, but to embarrass the Associated Press and further the interests of the petitioner in It's relations with a new corporation in New York as a competitor of the press in llll- nois.
 Objection is made that if a writ is grant ed the contracts with the other newspapers will be violated, and the propretors will be released, and the Associated Press will be liable to damages To grant the writ, it is claimed, would be in violation of section b. article l, of the constitution of the United States and the 14th amendment Of the constitution.
 The answer states that issuing the writ would involve the rights of the New York World, New York Evening Post and New York Staats Zeitung under contracts; that they should have been made parties to the proceedings because of that fact.

Madison Crops in Bad Condition

Huntsville, June 20.-(Special)-T con- tinued rains of the past three weeks have affected the farmers of Madison County and other counties of the district in se- rious way. No work to any considerable ex- tent has been done by the farmers since the rains began and they were then three weeks behind w'y' their planting. Grass is now as high as the cotton, and corn Is in equally as bad condition. Hun dreds of acres of ripe wheat is standing in the fields, and the ground is too soft for the reapers. If the crops prove to be three fourths as good as estimated before the rains began, the farmers will consider themselves lucky.

small Chance of Concession

The officials of the company here state that there is small chance of any conces sions on the part of the company. The men, they say, are being as well paid as any in the district, and to make any con sessions to them would be to establish a dangerous precedent
 The coke pulers, who number about 200 men, are still al work, and show dispo- sition to strike. They are paid off in cash every night. The coke ovens will however, be shut down if the strike continues.
 The work of the Southern Railroad is also at standstill, only two out of their ten engines being in use.
 The men have received notice to vacate their houses. and some have been already vacated. While the situation is not encour- aging, it is believed that the strike might be ended with a few minor concessions on the part of the company. Besides their de- mand for a ten per cent increase in wages and a bi-monthly payday, the men have several minor grievances.
 There will be meeting of the Merchants and Manufacturers Associa tion tonight at which the strike situation will be discussed in all its phases, and 1t is hoped there will be suggested some solution of the trouble

IMPORTED MEN
 LEFT IN THE NIGHT Folded Their Tents and Silently
 Stole Away. SITUATION AT BESSEMER The loS Men Who Game to Work in the Furnaces Say They Were
 Not Informed of the
 Strike

Bessemer June 2o.-(SpeciaL)-The ne- groes one hundred and eight in number, who arrived here yesterday afternoon to take the place of the strikers, disappeared in the silent watches of the night
 The men came from different points in Tennessee and Georgias, being brought here on a special train over the Louisville and Nashville Mineral from Ironaton. The train went on out to Robertstown, where the men were housed and placed under the guard of the city police, which had been greatly reinforced. It was expected that when their number had been augmented the men were to be put to work, but during the night most of them disappeared. To- day many were seen on the streets with their bundles with them, but the greater number seem to have left town.
 Under False impression
 These men, when questioned, stated that they came here under the impression that they were to receive $150 a day to work in mines and rock quarries, and had no knowledge of the existence of a strike.
 As soon as they learned the true situa- tion they declined to work Others state that they were waited on by a committee of strikers, who persuaded them to leave, and still others that they were frightened by threats Out of the 10S there are but five who remain and express themselves willing to work. Twenty men are expected in tonight and the company hopes to so add to this number that they will be able to start up one stack, which will require about forty-five men. While there Is more or less desultory shooting of revolvers at night, there has been no serious trouble of any kind, the strikers being unusually peaceabe.
