ADJUSTMENT OF THE DIFFERENCES

tary Williams, Of the kmalgsmnted Assoeia'
fiea e The Two Labor Leaders Slipped
Unseen Out Of Pittsburg.


Formal negotiations for a seitlemen,
cf the great steel strike were opened
here al conference between President
Shaffer and Secretary Williams, OF the
Amalgamated Association, and J. Pier
pont Morgan and a group OF his asso-
ciates, OF the United States Steel Cor
poration.
The conference and the movements
of the conierees were secret and no in
timation OF the result of the delibera-
tions has come from any one in au-
thority. IL is believed however, that
substantial progress toward an agree
ment was made and that formal an
nouncement Of the compact for peace
will come within few days. There has
been much speculation as to the terms
OF peace, but much OF it has been pure
conjecture. Ii was said that the strike
would be called off and that there would
be a resumption OF the negotiations OF
general labor questions at the point
where they were broken off at the Pitts
burg conference
In financial circles however. the cpin-
ion was general that the prospective
agreement would go further than that
and in itself dispose OF the serious
questions at issue. The conference re-
suited from several days OF preliminary
discussion, all OF which was kept secret.
MIR. Morgan and President Schwab,
OF the United States Steel Corporation,
met first at the office OF the former and
were closeted for some time The
meeting with the labor leaders followed.
The names Of those who participated in
the meeting aside from leaders on either

MIR. Morgan was seen after the meet
ing, but would say nothing beyond de
nying that he had any appointment with
President Shaffer. OF the Amalgamated
Association.
A news bureau quoted an official OF
one Of the constituent companies OF the
United States Steel Corporation as fol-
lows: "Unless something OF an unex-
pected nature comes up. it is reason
ably certain that the differences now ex-
listing between the mill owners and the
strikers will be adjusted shortly

Returning to the office he found DR..
McGee. who had been attracted by the
shooting, bending over Garrett. Kelly
fired at the physician, the bullet strik
ing DR.. McGee in the spine, and he fell
near where Garrett lay.
Then followed an exciting street fight
between the madman and officers who
came upon the scene. Kelly. flourish
ing his pistol, ran through the lumber
yard. He met Isaac Healer, a laborer,
and shot him in the hand. A few yards
further on he encountered Sergeant
Dodge The two exchanged shots as
they ran. One bullet from Kelly's
weapon struck Dodge in the neck, but
not before that officer had shot the
madman in the shoulder. Kelly kept
running and was soon confronted by
Detective Mcdonald and Policeman
Falthager. Mcdonald dropped Kelly
with bullet in the neck Dodge raised
his pistol but it failed to work. and
catching up with the murderer he
crushed his skull with the weapon

Assassination or Lypchiug?

Acting Secretary Hill dispatched to
the Italian Charge here. Count Carig
mani a copy OF the report OF Governor
Longino, OF Mississippi upon the recent
killing Of Italians at Erwin.
The Governor says that il has no,
yet been determined whether The Ital.
ians were naturalized citizens OF the
United States. After receiving news
OF the outbreak he Immediately sent
the sheriff OF Washington county. in
which county the affair took place, TO
the spot. and on the second day the
Governor went there in person and
learned that every endeavor was max
ing to discover and punish the guilty
parties.
The residents of Washington county

rage, and he assures the State Depart
ment, and requests that the assurance
be communicated to the Italian Gov
ernment, that every proper effort is be-
ing made to bring the lynchers to jus
tice.
A study of the Governors repor.
makes it appear that after all the aues
tion OF the nationality of the murdered
Italians will not be the principal issue
in the inquiry. The Governor appar-
emily leans strongly to the belief that
there was no real lynching but that
the affair was a simple assassination.
and that the men were not killed be-
cause they we're Italians. but as the re-
suit OF tribal quarrel Should this
view be sustained by the inquiry now in
progress, the case at once will lose its
international aspect.

Philadelphia. Aug. IA terrific ex-
plosion in a block of six buildings on
Locust street, above Tenth street, at
o'clock Monday night completely de-
stroyed five of the structures, three g.
stories and two 216-stories, and caused
the death of ten or more persons.
Over two score of others were more or
less seriously injured. Some of those
taken to the hospital will die 1t is es-
timated that at least S5 persons were in
the five buildings when the explosion
occurred and the exact number of dead
not yet known.
What exploded and how it happened
is not yet known, but it is believed to
have been barrel of gasoline in one of
the three groceries. Almost every build
ing within radius of two blocks of the
explosion had windows shattered and
were otherwise damaged. Every build
ing on the opposite side of Locust street
was more or less wrecked, but none of
them fell.
A terrific cry went up from the ruins
the moment the explosion occurred.
Women, children and men occupants of
the wrecked houses, could be seen
crawling from the debris, while the
agonizing cries of others were heard in
the wreckage From all the surround
;ro, Iui16iu0z ipiurad raapla oouoa rrn
ming and some fell into the street un-
conscious. To add to the horror, fire
broke out in the debris the moment it
settled to the ground and in less than
five minutes the great pile was burning
fiercely from end to end A general
alarm was turned in for the fire ap-
paratus and ambulances and in the
meantime the work of rescue was vol
UNFAIRLY begun by those in the neigh
borhood who were not injured.
Here and there person was dragged
from the ruins before the fire could
reach the victim, several lives being
saved by this prompt work. When the
fremen reached the scene the flames
had made great headway and were ig-
hitting the buildings across the street.
The fire, however, was soon under con-
troll. The work of digging away the
ruins was then begun in earnest and
soon several were rescued.
While the work of rescue was going
on in the exploded block, hospital at

make it brittle; hence they should only
be used where there is a preponderance
of oil. While vaseline often prevents
hair from falling out, it also makes it
darker; so the caution to rub it on the
scalp and avoid getting it on the hair
is especially important to fair haired
women.
There are many methods Of perfum-
ing the hair, which is much fad now
adays. The scent can be put In the
rinse water or on the hair just before
it is dry or a perfumed cap can be
worn at night. 1t is best, however, not
to cOnfine the hair at night. Braid it
lOsely or have it flowing II it does not
snarl easily.
Do not use hot irons on the hair II
you wish to keep it silky and long.
Tight crimping pins are also injurious.
II it must be curled. do it up loosely In
kids or soft paper. A soft curl is much
prettier than crimps.
Do not tie the hair up tight on the
head. 1t not only lOOsens the roots and
is prolific source of badness, but it
makes impossible that soft, loose, pret-
ty effect which is essential in modern,
fashionable hairdressing.
Well kept hair in healthy condition
should be soft and pliable, with a rich
silky luster that is the most exquisite
frame for any face. old or young.
