ADELBERT S. Hay
FALLS TO his DEATH.
SON OF SECRETARY OF STATE
TUMBLES OUT FF A HOTEL
WINDOW

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 23.-7Adel-
bert S. Hay, son of Secretary Hay, and
former consul to Pretoria, was found
dead on the sidewalk outside the New
Haven house at. 2:3O this morning.
Hay retired to his room at / o'clock
after spending the evening with. friends
in apparently excellent spirits.
At 2:SO a passer-by noticed the body Of
a PROSTATE man lying on z. sidewalk on
the College street side Of the hotel. The
night clerk of the hotel was Immediately
summoned and recognized the young man
as the one who registered as Adelbert s.
Hay. There was considerable excite
ment about the hotel and large body of
students and graduates who are here for
the commencement exercises soon
gatnered. A number of Hays former
classmates at Yale positively identified
the young man.
It is believed that Hay became i'll ana
went to the window for air, was over
come by a fit of dizziness and fell to the
ground below.
DR.. Bartlett, the medical examiner,
stated that Mr. Hay probably came to
his death by an accident. The clothes on
the bed had been turned. showing his In
tention to go to bed. tIis clothes had
been folded. On the ledse Of the win
dow was found a partly bsrned cigarette
This discovery leads to the belief that
Hay had lighted a cigarette before re-
tirtng and went to the window to smoke
it. Whether he was seized with fit Of
dizziness or fell asleep on the window
ledge cannot be determined.
WASHINGTON, June 29-Adelbert 8.
Hay was about twenty-five years of age
He was appointed consul to Pretoria
early in 1900 to succeed Charles Macrurn,
of Ohio. He arrived at his post of duty
March 1, 1900, and aftes serving during
the critical period of hostilities in South
Africa, he resigned his position and re-
turned to this country, reaching here
about the beginning Of March. No sue

INJUNCTION 70 Strikers
ORDER OF WIDE SCOPE ISSUED
FROM JUDGE ELLIOTT's COURT
IN MILWAUKEE,
TROUBLES OF MACHIN1sTs
Former Employees of viIter Manufac-
turing Co. EnjOined From Doing
Anything That VIII in Any
Way InJure the Concern.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis., June PA
sweeping injunction of widespread scope
and Importance relative to the strike OF
machinists was issued today to the
Vflter Manufacturing company. The
order prevents the strikers from in any
way interfering with the workmen that
are employed at the Vilter works; from
gathering about the works in any way;
from posting ptckets from combining for
the purpose Of preventing tradesmen
selling to workmen who have refused to
quit and from doing anything that will
in any way operate to result in damage
to the Vilter company.
The injunction equals In It's effect the
celebrated strike order issued by Judge
Jenkins in the Northern Pacific case
without embracing many Of the defects
of that order which led to it's reversal In
the court of appeals. There is not a
single reference to strike in the injunc-
ton; the men are not restrained from
striking as they were in the Northern Pa
ctfic strike order, but they are simply re-
strained from taking any action or doing
anything which will in any way tend to
cause damage to the Vilter company.
OF FAR-REACHING EFFECT.
The suit is without an equal and is the
first of the kind ever instituted. If it is
successful it Will have a most important
part to play in labor disturbances of the
future.
While the action is brought in the name
of the Vilter company, it is really the
National Metal Trades association that
is the plaintiff, the Vilter company hav-
ing been selected to serve as plaintiff be-
cause it is said the equities existing were
greatest in it's favor and Milwaukee was
considered as the best place in the coun-
try in which to fight the battle in the
court. The injunction is directed against
each and every member Of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists and all
persons in any way connected therew tn.
The order is returnab.e In Judge Elliott's s
court.

ED IN TRANSFER YARDS


ED IN TRANSFER YARDS.
Pat Martin, swttchu,an, who worked
for the Chicago Great " estern at the
Minnesota Transfer, we instantly killed
last night at 11:2O. in tt transfer yards.
He was riding on the foe board of wild
locomotive and gave wrong signal,
which, when the engine reached switch,
caused it to leave the raids and overturn.
Martin was caught underneath it, and at
an early hour this morning his body had
not been extricated.
Martin was thirty-three years of age
and unmarried. He had been in the rail-
road business for fifteen years, and with
the Great Western for one year. He lived
at the Great Western hotel Minneapolis,
and previous to that had lived in st. Paul
for some years. He is not known to have
any relatives in the Twin Cities.
According to the accounts of those who
saw the accident, the unfortunate man
must have been instantly killed, ass he
did not utter a cry after the engine over
turned.
