END NOT In SIGHT.
The St. Louis Strike Situation Is in No.

NO DISTURBANCES YESTERDAY.

Of Its System.
FOUR PERSONS HAVE BEEN KILLED.
OF This Number Two We're Innocent Non
Participants.

Men--striiscrs Insist ON "a General
Reinstatement of Their Forces.

ST. Louis, May 27.--rhis was the TWEEN.
tieth day OF the street railway strike and
the end seems as far away as ever, both
the Transit company and Its employees
standing Arm in their respective positions.
Not car on the Transit company S
system has run without police protection
since the strike began. In consequence
Of there not being enough police 10 guard
the 500 or more cars usually operated
less than a quarter Of that number have
been run by the company over only part
of its twenty-five divisions and lines.
Since May S. when TIE strike began,
there have been numerous collisions be-
tween the police aud the strikers and
the latter's sympathisers. Hardly day
during that time has passed without
somebody being wounded by bullets or in
jured by flying missiles and police clubs,
The list of casualties shows four persons
shot and killed, twenty-five wounded by
bullets and fifty or more injured in other
ways.
Two of the killed were innocent by
ISLANDERS, striking motorman and an
emergency policeman completing the
number Several of he wounded are in
a critical condition and may die.
IL is estimated by the strikers that less
than nifty of their number, 1925, who
struck have returned to work. These,
with the street car men imported from
other cities. are operating the Transit
oompanys cars, II is assorted that t
least fifty of the imported men have Joined
the strikers,
An the points at issue between the
company and its striking employees have
been agreed to except that of felnstat-
ing all of the men who went out. The
c0mpany refuses 10 dls2lace the men they
have hired since this strike began, while
the strikers decline TO sign any agreement
that does not give all the old men their
places again. Several attempts have
bean made TO bring the employers and
employees together. but without success
and thus the matter stands,
A meeting Of citizens has been called
for tomorrow afternoon in the directors
room of the Merchants Exchange for the
purpose OF discussing plans for the anil
cable settlement OF the strike.
Today was uneyenttul The first cars
to run over the Transit company's lines
since 10 a. m. Saturday were sent out
this morning over the Delmar avens.e
Page avenue, Spaulding avenue, Compton
Heights, Park avenue. LacIede avenue and
Olive street lines. The day being fair the
cars were crowded from early morning
until p. M. when they ceased running
by persons going to and from the parks
and western SUBURBS. The lines men-
toned run east and west and in CON
sequence the main dependence OF those
living in the north and south portions OF
the city was on wagons and buses or the
cars OF the Suburban system, which OPP
crates only in a limited area compared
with that covered by The Transit system.

GOES TO THE Jury To

If No Unforeseen DELAYS Occur-The
Arguments Are Now Going 0n-Diehl
Believed to Be in a Close Place
Evidence Ended TODAY at II,

| Special to the Palladium.
New Castle, Ind, December 21.-
The attorneys are now arguing the
| Diehl case
Yesterday afternoon John Diehl
was placed on the stand He was un-
der fre for some two hours, and is
not believed to have done his case
any good by testifying. He made
statements different from his previ-
Gus statements on the same lines.
and proved either that he was testi-
flying falsely or that many of the wit
nesses had perjured themselves. 1t
is the general impression that he in
Jured his cause by going on the
stand. After he had testified the
state put on John Williams "a news
paper man, Henry Farwig and Mrs
Farwig, on rebuttal, and after they
were through, Mrs. Diehl and Mrs.
Jones, mother and sister of the de
fendant, were placed on the stand
for rebuttal.
The defense rested at Ii today and
the argument began. Each side was
given four and half hours. The
first two speeches OF the prosecution
will occupy most of the time today.
Prosecutor Steele of Henry county
spoke first, and he was followed by
Prosecutor White of Delaware coun-
ty. The prosecution will have its
two speeches together, and the third |
and closing speech will be made by
Judge Forkner. The other speeches.
or the defense, will be made this af-
ternoon and tomorrow morning.
Judge Bundy states that if nothing
Unforeseen occur to delay matters
he case will get to the jury by noon
tomorrow.

THAT NEW TRUST.
A STRONG CONF
OF LOCAL CAPITAL.
10 Conduct General Trust Business
The Dickinson Trust Company Alb
sorbed and 5000 Capital Added to
That Of the Old Company-Llst of
Stockholders.

The new local trust company.
whose prospective formation was
foretold In the PALLADIUM some time
ago has become a reality. 1t is a
combination of local capital, absorb
ing the Dickinson Trust company and
adding to that company 5 $50 900
stock $40, 900 more. The total capi-
tai stock is thus 800. 900. all
of which is paid up. The Dickin-
son family retains its original
stock of $50, 900, and does not in
crease it In any amount. The addi-
tlonal capital all comes from outside
the family. No one outside the orig
| inal Dickinson stockholders has more
than 81, 800 stock. To the prestige
of :ae Dickinson company, which was
III that a long, honorable and sue
cessful business career could make
it, is added combination of local
capital, backed and accompanied by
the finest business intelligence of the
city. That the new trust company
will be successful and will do an ex-
tensive business is a foregone
conclusion. 1t is one of the |
strongest in the state, fnan-
cially as well as in the pres
pany and from the excellent personal |
and business standing of all the par
ties making up the body of the stock
holders. The formal organization
will soon be had officers viii be elect
ed, etc. The company will occupy |
the Dickinson Safety Deposit build
ing on south eighth street, according
TO the latest arrangement. That
building is admirably fitted for that
line of business. No name has as
yet been selected for the company.
