MUNCIE, Ind. May ia murder Is sup
posed to have been committed at o'clock
this morning because of the strike at the
Daleville stove works, twelve miles west of
Muncie. For two weeks the forty men en-
ployed in the finishing department have
been on strike and are living under a tent
on the river bank half a mile from the fac
tory. Monday morning the company put
about twenty nonunion men to work and
trouble has been anticipated.
This morning at O'Clock. as Arthur
Walker, aged twenty. was going to the
factory he was attacked by a crowd of the
strikers and Is believed to have been killed.
His cries for help attracted neighors, who
saw the crowd beating the young man and
then take him away in a rig. All day
searching parties engaged by the company
have been hunting for Walker. but cannot
locate him, while the strikers profess ig-
norance of any trouble. Muncie Officers
we're summoned and tonight brought
Charles Leaf Charles Leming and A. E.
Oglesby here and placed them in jail as i'm
plicated in the assault.
Further trouble is anticipated, as the
citizens declare that If murder has been
committed they will run the strikers out Of

THE CANTEEN QUESTION.
Army officials Severely Criticised BY
Temperance AgitatOrs.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE report of
Secretary Root, General Corbn and other
army officials on the army canteen. sent to
the military committees to-day, called out
a reply which was filed with the military
committees by Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts. of
the Reform Bureau, and Mrs. Margaret
Dye Ellis. legislative superintendent of the
w. c. T. U. 1t says, in part:
1.-THE administration yesterday for the
first time came out openly in favor OF the
army liquor selling its merits. Hitherto
the plea has been that the administration
could not suppress canteens because the
law OF Congress was ambiguous Both
Secretary Root and President Mckinley re-
Gently said that If Congress would speak in
plain terms they would enforce the law.
This attitude has now been abandoned and
the secretary of war, whose acts and words
the courts declare are to be taken those
OF the President, has come out in open adj
vocacy of liquor-selling canteens. Secretary
Root, apparently oblivious of the new anti
canteen developments in the British and
French armies, said yesterday, in an OFF,
cial communication to Congress: L think
the enactment of this bill would be in
furious to the temperance morals and dis
cipline Of the enlisted men of the army
General Corbin. in declaring that pro-
hibition cannot be made effective in the
army, forgets the success of railroads in
securing abstinence and his reference to
benefits of canteens in Manila is particu-
larly unfortunate for his case, In view of
the conclusive testimony as to the un-
paralleled drunkenness and insanity of our
soldiers there We are charitably seeking
some creditable excuse for General Cor
bins statement that professional temper
ance reformers and aggressive saloon In
terests are working together to suppress
the liquor papers have unanimously OPP
posed the anti-canteen law.

MASSACRE ON A VESSEL
TWELVE PERSONS ATTACKED BY A
MAN WHO ROBBED THE CAPTAIN.
Seven Of the Victims Dead-Murderer
Armed with Two Revolvers
and q Dagger.

COPENHAGEN, May ia telegram
from Hoping. Sweden. reports that as the
steamer Hoping last night was passing the
Prinz Carl man sprang upon the deck OF
the latter vessel and shouted, eff any one
comes near 1 will shoot.'' AT the same mo-
ment a woman was seen hanging over the
ships side shrieking for help. The man
escaped in a boat. When the Prinz Carl
was boarded IT was found that twelve men
on board had been shot, six of whom, in
Guiding the captain, were dead. The rest
were found locked in their quarters. One
of the wounded has since died.
Details received here to-day show that
shortly after passing Quicksund. at mid
night, man suddenly started shutting all
the doors of the cabins and saloons and
then, with a revolver in each hand. and
with dagger and knife in his belt he be-
gan firing at every one he encountered. He
stabbed the captain in the back and a
woman passenger in the breast with the
dagger and hacked boy with the knife.
He also shot the mate through the shoul-
der, and of four men who were playing
cards in the smoking saloon one was shot
in the temple because he moved when the
murderer warned him not to do so. Search
of the steamer disclosed seven dead and
five wounded.
A tradesman of Arboga, Sweden, reports
that q man giving the name of Grenkirsk,
of Stockholm, came to him yesterday and
secured three revolvers, which he fired sew
eral times TO test their qualities.

AUTOMOBILE WAGON TESTED.
Exhibited Before Mechanical Engi.
neers at Annual Convention.

CINCINNATI, o.. May 1.-THE closing
session of the forty-first meeting of the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
was held this forenoon. One of the most
interesting papers read was that by Arthur
Herschman, of New York, on 1.-THE Auto
mobile Wagon for Heavy Duty" 1t was
all the more interesting because of an ex-
hibit made by Col L. c. Weir, president of
the Adams Express Company, who had or
dered a wagon here for trial before the
members of this society. The experimental
trip was made after the business session
and was witnessed with considerable inter-
est Other papers presented were: M. E.
Cooley, "a Test of a 100000 High-duty
Pumping Engine at Grand Rapids, Mich"
W. F. NJ Good TESTS of the Snow Pump
ing Engine at the Riverside Station of the
Indianapolis Water Company" b. G. Ball,
Cylinder Proportions for Compound and
Triple Expansion Engines" Topical dis
cussions: What Does 1T Cost to Run
Trains at High Speed?" Protection of
Penstocks from Corrosion.
The test of the automobile wagon was
conducted by Mr.. Arthur Herschman. who
had read the paper on that subject. 1t ap-
pears that his study of the subject has been
largely at the suggestion of Col. Weir,
president of the Adams Express Com
pany, who is seeking a substitute for the
horse for heavy truck hauling. The wagon
exhibited here to-day is the first of its
kind in America and is built upon sugges-
tons by Mr.. Herschman. IT is interna-
tonal in its makeup, portions of IL hav-
ing been made in France, England and
America It's draught power was shown TO
be great, but some minor defect caused II
to be stopped for repairs after running a
mile or Colonel Weir does not look upon
this machine as the best that can be made
but expects American ingenuity to make
liz provements that will bring IL to a
higher state of perfection
The afternoon was spent by the engineers
and their friends in visiting places OF local
interest. At night a reception and ball was
given at the Hotel Aims, and to morrow
they close their meeting with a visit to
the National Cash Register works at Day.

murders the prisoner replied that IL was
ravel. On being further questioned Nord-
lund confessed his crimes and said he had
stolen 500 krones from the captain.
The wounded say they were playing cards
In the smoking room about half past IL
with other passengers when somebody put
his head In the room and exclaimed:

his head. DisregarGing the wound, he ran
after the assassin to the steering room.
The fugitive shouted down the speaking
tube: Full speed ahead" The engines
were already at full speed, and the en-
gineer replied: "Is that the captain" re-
ceiving the answer: Certainly: drive her
gines at full speed as term. The assassin
then ran down to the engine room and
threatened TO shoot the engineer II he did
not obey. The engineer barricaded the
room At that moment the Hoping camc
