THE sHIPYARD TO CLOSE
Newport News Shipyard co Close en-
less Machinfsts Return to Work

Newport News. Va, June 15.-Over
seven hudred men were laid of today
by the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock Company. Unless the strik-
ing machinists return to work Monday.
or unless enough machinists report to
carry on the work which has been held
by the strike, the shipyard will close
down.
General Superintendent w. A. Post,
in an interview relative to the compa-
ny's attitude, states that arbitration
will not be considered as the yard has
nothing to arbitrate. He expresses sor-
row at being obliged to take the step
which will throw nearly 1000 men out
of work. but explains that it is neces-
sary in the face Of the attitude Of the
strikers. Just how long the yards will
remain closed, he said, will depend on
the strikers.

issue is believed 10 have had its effect
in inclining the ministers to accept the
British-American proposal. It is GER
tain that any movement toward the
settlement of this indemnity question
must result in unanimity TO be effec-
tive. Although often mentioned, the
details of the British plan have not
heretofore been given and they were
learned today from an authoritative
source to be as follows:
The Chinese government is to issue
bonds to each OF the powers to the
amount of the indemnity due each.
These bonds are to bear per cent, in
terest with clause providing II per
cent. for amortization Certain Of the
Chinese revenues, not specifically des-
ignated in the proposition, are to be
ear-marked for the liquidation of the
bonds. A committee appointed by the
foreign powers is to take charge of
questions relating to the revenues thus
ear-marked and the committee is to
arrange details by which the revenues
are to be applied on the bonds. In
case of default on the bonds, the de-
fault is to be to the committee and not
to the several powers.
The foregoing is in substance the en-
tire proposition, but later it was pro-
posed in addition that the period of
the bonds be thirty years, and that
they be issued in installments. In this
form the proposition stood up to within
a few days ago, but it is not known
in what particulars it may have been
modified by the ministers.

The home team took the third game
with Raleigh yesterday by timely hit
ting and all around good work The
game was hotly contested and was fill
ed with many pretty plays.
Perhaps the most sensat ational piece
of fielding ever seen here occurred in
the eighth inning. Stanley was the
first man up and drove terrible liner
at Crockett. which went about two feet
higher than he could reach, but Davy
made a desperate lunge in the air and
pulled the ball down with his left hand.
The play electrified the audience and
Crockett received round after round of
applause. Davy also made another
pretty stop in the sixth inning by which
Atz and Heneger were doubled. These
plays fully offset the two errors he
made, one of which was responsible for
the visitors run.
Stewart and Person did the twirling
for their respective teams and both did
we'll Stewart allowed only four hits one
of which was a scratch, and struck out
six men. The locals touched up Person
for seven clear hits, while nine famed
the atmosphere. Each pitcher sent two
men to bases on balls.
Devlin and Crockett led with the
strick for the locals and Atz made two
of the visitors hits.
The locals started the run getting in
the first. After Clayton had famed,
Devlin hits to right for two bases and
goes to third on a bad throw of Sher-
mans. Crockett hits a slow one to Kel-
ly. which the latter misses and Dew
lin crosses the plate.
The Redbirds tied the score in the
second. Hennegar gees out from pitch
er to first. Sorber is given his base on
balls and goes to second on a passed
ball and scores on Crockett's error of
LeGrand's hit. -
The locals clinch the game in the
fifth by scoring two runs after two men
are out. Stewart fans and Clayton
flies to Stanley. Devlin, Crockett, Staf-
ford and Sebring each single in success
sion, Devlin and Crockett scoring.
Thackera ends the inning by tanning.
Both teams had men on bases after
ward but inability to hit prevented any
runs.
The visitors started off in the sixth
as if they intended to score. Atz sin
giles and Hennegar hits a hot one to
Crockett, which the latter handles
cleanly, touches Atz and throws to
Stafford in time to retire Hennegar,
completing a very pretty double play.
Notwithstanding the inclemency OF
the weather about 600 people mere pres
ent, among them being very large
number of ladies, who Justify cheereo
the home team on to victory.

CRUSHED BY THE CARS
W. A. BOWMAN MET DEATH IN
 RAILROAD YARD.
He Was Coupling Flat Cars for the Plant System Yesterday Morn
 ing and Was Killed Instantly.

{ William A. Bowman aged IS years, was crushed to death in the yards of the Plant System railroad at 1:30 o'clock yes- terday morning.
 Young Bowman had been employed by the railroad as car weigher. Yesterday morning among the ears to be weighed were two flat cars filled with lumber. Long pieces of plank projected from each car about two or three feet over the ends. One of the cars was pushed on the scale and Bowman uncoupled it and gave orders to the engineer of the switch engine to push the car Up the track. An other freight ear was standing further up the track and it was thought that when the flat car with the lumber came in contact with 1t that the coupling would be made and the car secured. Bowman then walked on the track facing the car on the scale It seems that the fiat car which had been shifted up the track for some reason did not couple and the track be ing on a slight incline 1t came rolling back towards the scale. Bowman did not see the car an dhis head was caught between the two piles of lumber which was projecting from either car. lie was killed instantly. I,,
 Coroner Tice was sent for. He viewed the body but thought the cause or death too apparent to hold an inquest
 The remains were taken to an under taking establishme mt where they were prepared for burial Later they were sent to the residence of the boys father, Mir w A. Bowman, 404 Martha Street, from which place the funeral will take nlace this morning at 10 o'clock.
