ST. LOUIS STRIKE
 IS NOT YET ENDED
Conference Broke Up Without
 Reaching an Agreement,
NOW A FIGHT TO A FINISH
President Com CTS Proposes to Turn the Entire Power of the American of Labor Against Transit
 Company.

St. Louis, June 16.-After a lengthy con- ference today the striking street car men and the officials of the Transit Company failed to reach an agreement, and the end of the trouble is yet far off

President Whitaker said the best he could do if the strike was declared off would be to place the strikers at the bottom of the list.
 President Mahon of the International As- sociation of Amalgamatcd Street Railway Employees said:
 This is now fight to the finish. Presi- dent Gompers told me today that he pro- poses to turn the entire power of the American Federation of Labor with it's membership of two millions, against the Transit Company, and light the issue out if it takes five years to do it.
 "The boycott to be declared will apply not only to the St. Louis Transit Compa- ny, but to every person, every business man, every association, and, in fact, ev- cry corporation or individual tavoring them in any way"

bowels. Peruna is specific for catarrh of the stomach.
 Many people think that catarrh is con- fined to the head, and perhaps occasional cases of catarrh of the stomach. This is very far from being the case. Every organ, duct and opening of the body is lined with mucous membrane and is liable to catarrh or inflammation. One man has catarrh of the eyes; another catarrh of the bronchial tubes; another catarrh of the kidneys; another catarrh of the bladder.
 A remedy to cure catarrh of these diff ferent organs must be a remedy that acts directly on the mucous membranes lining these organs. It must be an in- ternal systemic remedy. It is claimed for Peruna that it cures catarrh wher- ever located.
 A book on catarrhal diseases, written by Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Pe- runa, will be sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Columbus, Ohio.

DR. LITTLE WILL 60
 BEFORE THE COURTS
Quo Warranto Proceedings Will
 be Instituted.
CASE BEFORE JUDGE SPROTT
Papers Will be Filed as Soon as He Reaches Tuscaloosa-Attor Want to Avoid Any Ques-
 tion of Jurisdiction

Tuscaloosa, June 16.-(Special)-Dr Lit tie will institute proceedings quo warranto in the Little vs. Foster contest The pa pers will be filed as soon Judge Sprott reaches the city. This was determined to- day. The papers cannot be filed in the city court of Judge Mayfeld. it's juris- diction is limited.
 It was thought at first that the papers would be taken to Livingston, where Judge Sprott resides, but the lawyers have decided to wait until the judge comes here to avoid any technical complications aris- ing on the question of jurisdiction. Judge Sprott is expected Monday or Tuesday Dr. Little's lawyers are Hon. Daniel Col Her and A. s. Vandegraff. The papers were prepared last Thursday the result having been anticipated, though it was expected that the vote would be 5 to in- stead of to 8 This will not affect the cases of Jeter and Mcclellan, as each case must stand on its own merits.
 Colonel Foster will still hold his seat in the board and vote on all questions, but if the courts should decide against him, and that Dr. Little was the rightful trustee his vote would necessarily be invalidated. That is the concensus of opinion.
 The Board Adjourned
 The board adjourned at late hour last night and will not meet again until Tues day morning. All of the trustees have left the city except Pratt, Lomax and Webb, who are working on committees. The re- ports of officers of the faculty and the president have all been submitted.
 That of Dr. Powers was a lengthy docu- ment, and contained the important sug- gestion that permanent secretary be ap pointed to serve the president and the fac ulty. The faculty at present have no sec retary, and the one who serves the presi- dent is usually student who gives only part of his time to the work of secretary.
 Another report was that of Professor Palmer on his work of preparing the Alumni register This will contain the names of all the Alumni of the University since it was first established, and Professor Palmer asked that an appropriation of $25O be made for its publication. Colonel Eos ter is serving on the finance committee, and is busily engaged with Mr. Pratt in examining the books and reports of the treasurer.

at the United States legation, besides MT. Conger, his wife and daughter, at least one lady visitor, Secretary of Legation H. G. Squires of New York, w. D. Bainbridge of Iowa, the second secretary; Lieutenant Albert L. Key, naval secretary, and E. D. Cheshire, interpreter. Inquiry at the war department concerning the communication facilities at the scene of the trouble de- veloped the fact that cable communication ends at Shanghai. From Shanghai tele- graph line runs up to Tien Tsin, there branching off into two lines one to Tuka, on the coast of Pechi Ii Gulf, and the oth- CT continuing up to Pekin.
 If as reported, the line between Tien Tsin and Taku has been cut, communica- tion with Pekin would be interrupted, but this would explain the absence of any word within the last twenty-four hours from Admiral Kempff at Taku.
