drove to the First Methodist church

Principal Interest Centers In the
Duauesnc Plant.
Pittsburg, Sept. 3.-The principal In
terest In strike matters yesterday was
:centered in the Duquesne plant. where
1T was expected the strikers would
make a decided move toward closing
down the entire works. The report
from there says the situation is critical.
The two boss meters and all the first
helpers went to work as usual yester-
day morning and all twelve furnaces
were charged. Only one second helper
went in and all ladle men stayed out.
The strikers made thorough house to
house canvass of open hearth men all
day. At o'clock, time for helpers and
ladle men to go on. pickets were on
duty on the streets and turned back
three ladle men. The night turn is
badly crippled. but men were brought
from the Bessemer department to help
out and the mill is running full. Sixty
Of the day turn men are off and the
strikers say not a man will report to-
day. If the open hearth Is shut down
the forty-inch mill must also shut
down.

Smith has returned from Guam, where
he went to serve as private secretary
to Military Governor Schroeder. He
was forced to resign after three
months service owing to Ill health and
the treatment he received from the
governor. Gov. Schroeder's acts as

Smith, twill be investigated by con-.
gress Schroeder is a South Carolinaus

should abuse. In three months there
were seventy summary court-martials
of enlisted men and twelve court mar
tials OF general nature, making q
total Of eighty-two men cut Of $50 ma

overworked in the fierce heat OF the

lions and merciless treatment the men
are forced to fee to the hills, without
food OF shelter, and they return only
when starvation drives them from the

Care in the wording of a will is
something which can never safely be
neglected. A man whosdied lately in
New York left his house, with fllrni-
ture and contents to his wife. Other
relatives were named for specific be-
quests or as residuary legatees. The
inventory Of the estate disclosed the
fact that among the contents of the
house was safe containing over a
hundred thousand dollars, besides
which there was nothing of account,
either in the house or out OF it The
widow naturally claimed the safe with
all it contained, but the courts have
decided against her, ON the ground that
the money cannot be considered as a
part of the contents" of the house
within the probable meaning.

Pittsburg. Pa, Sept. while there
is no actual change in the steel strike

calculated to produce results in the
Hear future. The conference between
the Bayyiew committee and the Anal

scathing editorial in the Labor World
calling for the Impeachment Of Presi-

ers Of McKeesport to Duquesne, and
the decided effect Of the injunction
proceedings at Canal Dover, Ohio, all
indicate that the crisis is approaching
and that an important change In aft

by either party, but the fact that the
committee is here at all would indicate
that the Bay View strikers are uneasy.
Notwithstanding the report from New
York that no conference has been held
or arranged for between G. M. Schwab
and Simon Burns looking to arbitra-z
ton, the latter has not relaxed his eff
forts in this direction and seems de-
termined to bring about some sort Of
compromise. II am interested in this
natter said President Burns last
night, as the big strike is affecting all
lines of business, including the win
dow glass trade. My purpose is to get
the two sides together and start the
mills. If President Schwab is still OPP
posed to my plan of arbitration Will
request him to suggest whatever mod
ifications he desires. Anything will be
acceptable il the United States Steel
corporation can be induced to arbitrate
and get the mills started. 1t is foolish
ness to say there is
N OthiME to Arbitrnte.
Il feel confident that something can be
done to bring about settlement that
will not be dishonorable to either side
and result in the starting Of the mills"

and because the whole strike Is un-

President Shaffer should be impeached.

Several species of animals unfortll-
nately have been exterminated because
of their commercial value; 1t remains
to be seen If a like fate will ever over
take any animal because 1t is con-
demned as a pest. The rat is already
under the ban In many countries, and
concerted action, 1t is said, might put
an end to his tribe. The mosquito, an
insect, seems likely to be greatly re-
stricted in his field of operations by
the new measures taken against him.
