Chicago, Oct. Pa novel plan to
escape conflict with a court order
has been hit upon by union labor men
and will be put into operation here to-
day
Fearing that any attempt by them
to talk with the non-union machinists
at the Allis-Chalmers company shops
might be construed as a violation Of
the injunction recently issued by
Judge Kohlsaat in the Federal court
against picketing, the striking ma
chinists will communicate with the
men inside the works by means of
printed cards. It is the first time
that a printed card has played so
important a part in a big strike. It is
believed by the unionists that this
mute appeal to the men who have
taken the places of the strikers will
prove eficaeious and at the same time
be within the limits of the law

GLORIES OF MID-OCTOBER
SHOWN IN WOODS AND FIELDS

Not suddenly, but gradually. this
year woodland and hedgerow. weedy
field and tangled garden bloomed into
.autumna. splendor. Any keen observer
OF the seasons might have expected
that the time OF full bloom was not far
on when suddenly two weeks ago. af-
ter night OF windy turmoil, the
'chestnuts were found TO be falling No
sharp early frost, such as usually pre-
eedes the opening OF the chestnut burrs
and the turning of the leaves had as
yet happened, but the sum of the
weather conditions was such as to
ripen the chestnuts and 10 prepare the
leaves for their annual change.
Many days before. indeed. some OF
the trees had turned to red and gold.
The swamp naples had b,ushed In sud
den flame and trees lining the water
courses had for weeks been mellow
Ing Woodland tops seen In the mass
had shown ripening boughs. and the
poison ivy had sought TO make amends
Tor It's evil qualities by wrapping in
the most splendid OF robes the tree
trunks which It disfigmes with It's
hairy ropes. The sumachs had long
been reddening. and vagrant dewberry
vines began to trail their vivid crimson
over the lichened gravity OF the old
stone walls
After all this had been going on al
most unnotlced for at east a fortnight.
there came days OF dense morning for.
followed by a night and day of rain.

the fog, nature had completed her great

TORTURED BY ElLIPlNos
Unusual Acts Of 5arbarity and Cruel.
ty BY Outlaws.

Washington. Oct. 23.-The records
in 20 court martial cases wherein the
charge was murder have been re-
ceived at the war department from the
headquarters of the division of the
Philippines. In the majority OF the
cases sentences of death by hanging
were imposed and approved. All Of
them bore features of unusual bar
barity and cruelty, in some so marked
as to warrant special mention. In
one of the latter five natives, mem.
bers of an armed band of outlaws. en-
tered the home OF a native named
Ragudo, seized and bound his son.
hanged him up by a rope and tied
his father and mother by their elbows
to a rafter. They then demanded
money of their captives. and the forth
coming amount not being sufficient
they wrapped rags saturated with oil
about his feet and legs and set his
clothes on fire. For two hours the
torture was continued, blows from the
butts Of rifles, flats OF bolos and fists
being rained on the helpless captive.
while to add to his suffering his young
daughter was struck down by a blow
from bolo on her head. Ragudo
fingered in agony from the effects of
his torture for five days and then
died. All FIVE Of the natives were sen
fenced to death.
Two American soldiers. Privates
Charles r. White and Thomas H.
Mathis, both Of Company II, Fourth
Infantry had been captured by the
insurgents. They finally passed un.
der the charge of Esteban San Juan,
a colonel Of insurgents and the rank
ing officer in the vicinity of Cavite
He had them bound to trees and then
strangled to death with cords.

lou..r-b l,y. Oct 23.-During a

It was about $50 o'clock, just after
the first act Of "Tennessees Pard

are shown between the acts had just
started. The machine was not work

restless from the delay and the hiss

ing and struggling, they fought their
way toward the front stairway. Many
occupants Of the gallery leaped over
the railing into the struggling mass
of humanity below. Finally the hall
was cleared. and over score of in.
jured persons were found lying upon
the floor.
Meanwhile those who had retained
their presence OF mind endeavored to
stop the mad rush. The ushers and
theatre attaches acted with great
GOODNESS. The great crush occurred
where the stairs come down from the
gallery. Here the two crowds met
and were packed into a space not
large enough for half of them. and all
were trying with a desperation born
of fear to reach the street.
The weaker were soon knocked
down, and trampled under foot. Those
who realized the state of affairs were
trying their best to check the rush,
but the crowd went on pell-mell
through the doors and literally rolled
down the long fight of stairs. As
soon as the rush was over the care
Of the injured began. A big room was
converted into a temporary hospital
There was no damage from fire. Il
Is said the cause of the fame was
the blowing out Of a fuse on the poly
scope.
