Q. WASHINGTON HANNA
Couldn't Tell a Lie and Didn't Want
to Tell the Truth.

Cleveland. O.. July 31--Up to noon
today newspaper men had been unable
to locate Messrs. Morgan, Davis and
Tige. of the. Amalgamated association,
reported to have started from Pittsburg
for Cleveland last night. A canvass of
the leading hotels at that hour showed
that they had not registered.
Senator Hanna did not appear at his
office throughout the morning and a re-
port was in circulation that a confer
ence between himself and the Amalga-
mated represen tatiVes had taken place
at his residence. He arrived at his
Office soon after II o'clock having come
directly from his home. Asked if he
had held a conference with Messrs.
Morgan, Davis and Tige or would see
them during the day Mr.. Hanna said:
Il am not at liberty to discuss the
subject. I will neither deny or confirm
the report that a conference was held
this morning It is true that I am in
terested and to some extent directly
connected with the efforts being made
to settle the strike, but it would be
most foolish for me to talk about what
is being done. The Crescent Tin Plate
mills in this city, mentioned in the
Pittsburg dispatch. have been closed
ever since the inaugur ton of the Anal
gamated strike"

AN ULTIMATUM.
Report That One Has Been Issued by
the Strikers.


Pittsburg. July 31.-A number of the
board We're not present either this
morning or this afternoon. and it is
believed they are out of the city on
secret missions. When it became
known that important members were
absent, all kinds of predictions were
made The general sentiment seemed
to be that the situation was more like
ly to become more critical than that a
settlen ent would be reached on the
terms proposed by the representa-
of the big steel combination. Among
the reports that soon gained consider
able circulation was that the Amalga-
mated board had prepared a counter
proposition to those offered by the COM
bination's officers, which had been
take to New York last night by Sec
retary Williams and Trustee John
Pierce. The proposition is believed to
be an ultimatum from the Amalga-
mated board and that it hints at a
further extension of the strike If the
terrns are not Immediately accepted. 1t
is certain that there will not be a full
meeting of the board today, and as
Manager B. I. Davis says, there may be
no definite information on the subject
for a day or two.

Nc CAsH NEEDED.
Good Collateral Will Be Accepted For
Town Lota


Town Lots.
Kansas City. No. July 31.-A special
to the Star form FL Rene says.
Commissioner Richards relieved many
anxious questioners today by saying
that cash, m~aning currency or coin
money. viii not be necessary in the pur-
chase of town lots at Lawton, Anadar-
ko and Hobart The full amount Of
each purchase must be paid to the Off
ciaI conducting the sale at the time the
purchase is made and the collateral Of
fered must be approved and accepted
by the local bank on the town site. Of
course. the sale viii be turned down if
the banker rejects the collateral offer
ed by the purchaser and the lot viii
again be offered for sale. This conces-
sion by Commissioner Richards will be
a great relief to persons who believed
that it would be necessary to carry up
on their persons the money necessary
for the purchase of lots.
The danger of robbery would have
been great and it is possible that many
persons would have been injured or
killed in hOldups.
