Omaha, Oct. 14.-Chief of Police
John J. Donahue has received letter
from Pat Grove naming the terms on
which he will surrender. The letter
covers Is closely written pages of
manuscript. The postmark is illeg-
IDLE, but the letter was mailed at 8

ter Grove agrees to- give himself up

he is not locked up until a jury shall
adjudge him guilty. He says he is I'M
able to furnish bond in excess of $500

what action he would take with rela-
ton to the suggestion of Pat Grove
that the bonds for his appearance
pending his preliminary hearing and
trial be fixed at sum not to exceed
$500 and said:
. "That is a matter over which
certainly have no jurisdiction, and,
therefore, cannot en- .er into any agree
ment to have the amount fixed at any
limit even to accommodate Mr.. Pat
rick Grove. That is for the courts to
decide. am opposed to entering into
any special negotiations for the return
Of Grove. It is only a matter of time
when he will be apprehended. How
ever, I will withdraw the reward Of
fered for his arrest and conviction"

WOMAN TO THE RESCUE:
PAYS THE CASH

Vergennes. Vt. April 1S.-Mrs
Frances Pearson Hallett's esteem for
David X. Lewis has probably saved
him from being prosecuted for mis-
appropriatiug the funds of the defunct
Farmers National bank, of which
Lewis was cashier. When the bank
examiner found that there was a
shortage of $4,000 in Lewis accounts,
the cashier said he could make the
loss good, and in some way succeeded
in getting the necessary money in two
days.
1t is now learned that on the day
the shortage was made good Mrs.
Hallett went to Boston. She returned
to this city in two days. and an hour
after her arrival ST.. 900 in securities
were turned over to the examiner by
Lewis. 1t is believed Mrs. HaIlett fur
niShed the money.

WHAT THE TROUBLE Is ABOUT.
Organization of the Steel Trust Creates the
strike Conditions.

Pittsburg. April 1S.-The Mckees-
port trouble is the first visible eruption
of condition that has been develop
ing for over a year, beginning with
the formation of the American Steel
Sheet company. The individual COM
panies that were absorbed had no uni
form plan of treating the workers.
Those in the association of steel sheet
manufacturers employed and recog-
niZed union labor. Those outside were
nOn-union. The combine took in all.
When it came to settlement of
scale last year the Amalgamated As
sociation demanded that their scale be
signed for all mills. This the compa
the non-uniOn men were getting more
than scale rates. and that it would be
unfair to cut them down to that of
organized labor
In the meantime. or on May Is, the
non-union men signed an agreement
not to organize during the year, and
providing that the wages that then
ruled should continue during the year.
The scale controversy. however. con-
tinued. and finally ended in an agree
ment that the scale apply only to the
union mills. Since then the organiza-
ton has been devoting it's energies to-
ward getting the sheet mill workers in
the non-union mills organized. and for
that purpose has considered the mat
ter of throwing the mill open" Mills
that are "open" are those in which
organized men are permitted to work
with nOn-union men for the purpose of
propagating the seeds of unionisln.

day by the return to work of 1000
employees. The inside superintend-
ent, Bateman. resigned last night.
1t was chiefly for his dismissal that
the men struck.
Pittsburg, Pa, April 1S.-The
chance for a strike of all the men of
the eAmalgamated Association employed
i'll the organized mills of the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel company trembles in
the balance. On the one hand PreSi-
dent T. ]. Shaffer is backed up in his
determination to call a general strike
by a majority of the members of his
advisory board and the district vice
president and trustees who We're i'll
session all day yesterday. On the
other hand there is a new move toward
conciliation and arbitration, which
may end the entire controversy i'll
Pittsburg today, or may be carried to
New York to be adjusted by higher
powers. President L. j. Shaffer said
last night that the outlook for settle
Iuent is better than at any time since
the McKeeSport trouble started. He
refused to explain this statement.
Colonel French the Peacemaker.
Colonel q. Watson French, vice
president of the Republic Iron and
Steel company, visited amalgamated
headquarters yesterday in relation to
matters pertaining to some of his own
mills. He became interested i'll the
issue against the sheet steel company
and volunteered to do all in his power
to avert struggle. He talked to the
advisory board for an hour, advising
cancellation and arbitration. Later.
it is understood, Shaffer heard from
Colonel French at his home in rela-
ton TO some action he had taken.
When the Amalgamated president was
asked to tell the nature of Colonel
Frenchs message he declared that he
had thing to say, nor would he deny
tbs ne had received such message.
A canvass of all parties to the dis
.pute indicates that the declaration OF
Il strike will not take place for sew
cral days. The effort at Cancellation
TO be made today will be followed by
others that will take time.
Dispute as to an Agreement
The session of the Amalgamated ex-
ecutives yesterday took no action on
the presidents proposed resolution CIV
ing him power to call out the men.
Much of the session was taken up in
Il conference with John Jarrett, head
of the labor bureau of the sheet steel
company. Jarrett cOntended that the
Inen had violated their agreement of
year ago, in which they agreed to
remain at work under the condition
then existing, the violation being i'll
their joining the association. The
AmaIgamated men were firm in assert
ing that their joining of the assOcia-
ton was nOt a violation of the agree
ment.
