Radical Element Left the Hall and the
Remainder Voted to Return to
Work This Morning.
DISSENSI0N AT PITTSBURG
sHAFFER WARNED BY COLLEAGUES
THAT THE STRIKE MUST END,
And He Is Said to BE Trying to Get
Terms from Schwab-RevOlt of
Strikers Probable.

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. s.-The Bayview
meeting, after a stormy session to-day
broke up in a row. The radical element
left the hall and the remaining members
not quite half of those in attendance, voted
to return TO work, and will do so tomorrow
when the mills start UP. The question of
returning TO work was defeated at length,
and after every member had had his say
President Joseph D. Redfern ordered a
secret ballot to be taken. An appeal was
made. The appeal was referred to the
vice president OF the lodge, whose duty it
is to act in such an exigency. The lodge
waited fifteen minutes, and the vice presi-
dent failed TO take any action on the APP
peal President Redfern then appointed
tellers and ordered that secret ballot
be taken, whereupon the radical element
left the lodge in a body. The radicals
slightly outnumbered the conservatives.
Those remaining in the lodge then voted
unanimously to return to work.
The result of the meeting will undoubted-
ly be a split in the organization of the
Amalgamated Association OF Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers in this city. The radicals
will undoubtedly claim the charter OF the
association, but President Redfern says, as
president of the lodge he will hold on to
the charter as the action taken at the
meeting was constitutional.
Trouble is looked for when the men re-
turn to work tomorrow. 1t is believed
that more than half the members of the
lodge will return TO work. Though the
radicals outnumbered the conservatives, 1t
is said that had all remained in the lodge
when the secret ballot was taken that the
vote would have been largely in favor Of
returning to work as a number OF the radi-
calls, while openly opposed to returning to
work would have voted on a secret ballot
with the conservatives wing of the lodge
Fires had been started at the mills pre-
paratory to starting tomorrow morning
whether the lodge voted to return or not.
This action of the company. 1t is believed,
was the cause of the question being set
tied to-day, as the company, it is said, was
prepared to start the mills with nonunion
men.
Those who voted to return to work are
made up mostly of married men who have
worked at the Bay View mills for many
years, owning their homes and having fam
lilies to support.
The Illinois Steel Company, it is said
will continue to pay the same scale as was
agreed upon week before the strike was
inaugurated, and was in fact. the scale
presented by the Amalgamated Association,
and which contract was broken when the
men struck work.
1t is likely some Of the national officers
will come to Milwaukee to form a new
lodge; and in the future will not recognize
the old charter. In this event the men
who return to work will continue as a local
association, and will treat with the COM
pany from time to time as such.

has called forth unbounded sympathy for
the stricken President and his family, and
has brought upon every good citizen OF this
Republic sense OF speechless humiliation.
Regardless OF party aff1li8tion, the whole
Nation is filled with sorrow and horror.
One editor characterizes Mr.. Mckinley
something like this: Perhaps we have had
greater Presidents, for Washington and
Lincoln and Grant were befoEe him. We
have had more autocratic Presidents. like
Andrew Jackson. We have had Presidents
more yielding in their policies, but We
never had a more lovable President. one OF
more amiable and philanthropic character
than he.
The home life Of the President has been
ideal. His devotion 10 his invalid wife II
more beautiful than romance. and has for
ever endeared him TO the hearts OF the
American people. He arose from the COM
mon people, and his sympathies were a.
ways with them. 1t was while mingling
with the common people, meeting them on
a common level as fellow-citlzens, that he
became the victim OF a cowardly assas sin
The mystery OF il is that such man
should be singled out as the victim or an
assassin. The sorrow Of IL is that such
man must suffer at the hands of such an
element OF society as the assassin repre-
sents. The humiliation OF IL is that such a
deed is possible in this country, and espe-
cially that a petty horde of human beings
calling themselves Anarchists should be A
constant menace TO the lives OF men who
may be at the head of our national govern
ment. The popular doctrine Of free speech
is the cover under which many an attack
is made upon the very life of the Nation.
and what is called free speech s. often
rankest treason. Whether the President
lives or dies there never ought TO be room
in this country for another Anarchist
demonstration like those witnessed in Chi
cago from year TO year. Paterson, n. J.,
ought To be cleaned out from top b.,
tom, and there never ought. TO be room for
another Anarchist meeting, not in the
highest garnet nor lowest cellar in America
and there never ought 10 be room for an

LAKE VESSELS WRECKED
SIX VESSELS ARE DRIVEN ASHORE
NEAR PORT HURON.
Crews of Four Are Rescued, but Those
of Two Are Still Aboard-StOrm
and Smoke the Cause.

PORT HURON, Mich, Sept. s.-To-night
witnesses the result Of one Of the worst dis
asters on Lake Huron, owing to the severe
gale which has been blowing for twenty
four hours. Piled up on shore are many
thousand dollars worth of vessel property
and the chances for getting them off are
slim unless many Thousand dollars are ex-
pended in dredging.
Strange to say, IN connection with this
great calamity there is no loss OF life. The
life-saving crew took off thrty-eight peo-
pie during last night and the others were
beyond danger. The barge Amaranth,
owned by Captain Kotcher. of Detroit, is a
total loss. She was loaded with lath as
was also the steamer Pauley. Their car
goes are strewn all along the shore. Ever
since last night the Wawatam has been en-
deavoring to release herself and at 5 o'clock
tonight she succeeded in getting out into
the lake The tug Sarnia, which went out
to the assistance of the wrecked boats, is
pounding the bottom, deserted by her
crew. but will be saved. Captain Plough,
of the lfe-saving crew, came ashore at s
p. m. with eight men and reported no loss
Of life but stated that il is the worst wreck
that he has witnessed in years
Heroic efforts will be made tomorrow to
save all boats with the exception of the
Amaranth from destruction. Marine men
pronounce the scene one of the most re-
markable known without loss of life.

ASKED GOVERNOR FOR MILITIA.
He Instructed Sheriff Hudson to Elk
haust His Resources First.


The citizens of Boonville, warrick coun-
ty. after having permitted. three lynchings
TO occur in their neighborhood within the
last year, changed their minds recently
and objected strenuously and successfully
to another mob killing a man last night.
Truax Wheeler murdered his son-in-law
with an ak at Jacksonville, near Boonville.
Saturday, and then shot himself. His
wound was not serious and he was put in
the jail at BoOnville.
Last evening Sheriff Hudson, of Warrick
county, telegraphed to Governor Durbin
that a mob had formed in the country
and was moving on the Boonville Jail with
the purpose of lynching Wheeler. He asked
that a company of militia be sent from
Evansville TO protect the prisoner. The
Governor telegraphed back that the sheriff
must exhaust his resources before the
State could act
The Governor was at Anderson. but the
Indianapolis office of the Western Union,
I'm finding that the Governor was out of
town, informed Assistant Attorney General
Merrill Moores OF the news from Sheriff
Hudson, and Mr.. MoOreS, who was In his
Office at the Statehouse. quickly telephoned
TO the Governor at Anderson and to Repre-
sentative Hemenway, who was at his home
The sheriff's telegram was received by
the Governor at $3.50 o'clock, and an hour
later Mr.. Moores was informed by Mr..

troops at Boonville, for the citizens had
armed themselves and escorted Wheeler
from the Jail to the railroad station, where
he was put on a train and taken 10 Evans
vile and lodged safely in jail
The mob was composed of farmers living
near Wheeler's son-in-law home. The
people of Boonville, when they were in
formed that the mob coming, took
their shot guns and rifles from the corners
where they leaned and their revolvers from
their bureau drawers and assembled at the
Jail to back up the sheriff. The country
mob lost courage at the sight of the deter
mined Boonville men and there is no in
formation that any very hot words passed.
AS soon Wheeler was put aboard the
train the farmers returned to their homes

phone receiver after Mr.. Hemenway had
finished describing the discontinue of the

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Sept. S.-Traux
Wheeler. who killed his son-in-law, Elihu
Burns, and cut his head off with an ak,
was brought here tonight for safe-keep-
ing, and this fact probably saved him
from a mob. Early this morning Sheriff
Hudson at Boonville. received word that a
mob intended to storm the jail and he at
once sent out his deputies to the outskirts
OF the town. They found people along the
public road and most them were armed
with shotguns and rifles. The sheriff
hastily deputized one hundred men and
stationed them in the various parts of
town and a large force was stationed at
the jail. Men were also stationed in the
churches and told to ring the bells when
the outskirts gave the signal that the mob
was forming All day these deputies re-
manned at their post.
Late this afternoon the sheriff received
word that a mob was forming at Woolley' s
coal mine and marching to the town. Sew
eral deputies went to the mine, where a
crowd of men gathered, well armed. They
were dispersed with difficulty. Late in the
afternoon great crowds began to surge
around the jail and the sheriff telegraphed
Governor Durbin for the militia. Captain
Blum, of the local company, had arrange
ment made to go to Boonville, when word
was received that the prisoner would be
brought here. The prisoner was tied TO a
door. and surrounded by deputies, removed
from the jail. He was removed TO the
depot. where a train was waiting and
brought here.
The prisoner was greatly excited and
begged the deputies to shoot him in case
the mob got to him.
