Popular sympathy with a suffering
animal and the readiness of the public
to relieve such suffering were illustrat-
d recently in st. Louis when man
risked his life to rescue a cat from

ing a swallow. and although it had
climbed down to the ledge alone, was
unable to climb back. For several
days it remained prisoner, one hun

and thirst. The man who discovered
the cats predicament climbed the two
hundred and twenty-five steps to the
top of the tower and was lowered by a

This would include Admiral Call

it would imply that the government

portant effect on the action to be IA.
ken at the coming conference between
the AmGlgaInated Association OF Iroa.
Steel and Tin Workers and representa-.
tvs OF the sheet steel and steel hoop
companies to settle the wage scale.
On Saturday twelve men were dis
charged from the Wellsyille. Ohio. steel
plant, an underlying company OF the
United States Steel Corporation. No
reason was given for the discharges,
but the men say the action was taken
because the men discharged were known
to have taken an active part in union
izing the mill, which has always hereto
fore been non-union. The case was
brought before the advisory board OF
the Amalgamated Association, which
was in session here yesterday. the re-
from President Shafier calling upon all
union men in the mill to strike to-mor-
row. This action may seriously cripple
the plant, and emphasizes the impor.-
fac that President Shaffer is de-
termined that the scale must be sign
led for all mills alike, and will take no
chances on a settlement of the existing
troubles by the conference to be held
tere this week.
The President of the A~malgamated
association has not as yet been noti-
ftd officially that a renewal Of the con-
fesence on the sheet scale has been re-
qltsted. but he has been maae aware Of
Of lthe desire OF the companies. and

NEW YORK, July 7.-Edwara Ssthy,
forty-three years old, a bookmakef on
the eastern race tracks, who lived with
his wife Abbie l.. Luthy, n four OF
her children by a former husband on
East One Hundred and Sixty-ninth
street, killed his wife by shooting her
in the head this evening after She had
taken refuge on a fire escape. Then he
shot himself. Dozens of pedestrians on
Park avenue, opposite the house where
the Luthys lived, saw the woman killed
and saw her body fall from Il Land
ing of the fire escape to the Il below.
1t is thought Luthy contemplated the
deed, for he sent the children from
their home. Jealousy and d quarrel
growing out of a delayed dinner, is
supposed to have been the cause of the
tragedy.
Luthy is in a hospital, and though
the self-inficted wound is serious, it
may not prove fatal, He says his wife
tried to shoot him first.
