MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY
AT TRUESDALE HOME

A very mysterious and Puzzling
robbery. perpetrated at The residence
of c. c. Truesdale on Eighteenth
street and Sixth avenue, has just been
reported to the police. 1t supposed
the deed was done on Labor day
while the family was absent. No
signs of an entrance having been eff
fected were visible, doors, windows
and screens being left untouched.
The sum of $50, diamond ring, a
pair of diamond ear drops and gold
necklace were taken.
No traces were left excepting that
the drawer in which the money was
kept clearly showed the marss of
having been pryed open with a scis-
sors. The police are at loss to know
where to begin operations, as they
have nothing tangible to work upon.
No one was seen around the place
during the day.

sCHwAB EXTENDs THE TIME
For the AmaIKamated to Accept His OneI
Further Conferences.


New York, Sept. 6.-The concilia-
tion committee which is trying to ne
gOtiate a settlement of the steel strike
with President Schwab, had another
conference with Schwab last evening,
and it was learned late last night that
at the request of the Cancellation COM
Dittee Schwab agreed yesterday to ex-
tend the time for the acceptance of his
offer to this evening. Late last night
Mitchell started for Hazelton. Pa. OH
business of the United Mine Workers.
A report from Pittsburg that Shaffer
and Williams were supposed TO have
started for New York was discredited
by the positive information that the
advisory board of the Amalgamated
Association will meet in Pittsburg to-
day to consider Schwab's proposition.
This, it is understood. differs from
MOrgan's proposition only in that i:
stipulates that the mills which the
United States Steel Corporation has
succeeded in opening as non-union
mills shall remain non-union, the com
pany being unwilling to abrogate the
contracts which it has made with the
men who are now at work in those
mills.
The conference of the members OF
the Cancellation committee with the
steel trust officials was resumed at the
Ashland house at ; p. m. yesterday
and continued until $50, during which
time there was much telephoning
When the conference adjourned Mitch
ell explained the point reached in the
negotiations to be that the proposition
of the steel corporation has not yet
been acted upon by the Amalgamated
Association. but that the board will
probably reject it. Nevertheless. Inc

of some of the best citizens of this
place, have got back here and pro-
ceeded Immediately to find out whether
the mob Is supreme in the United
States or whether there is any defense
against Outlawry.
These were the leaders of the strik-
ing cigarmakers who were kidnapped
and sent out of the city to some un-
known spot. 1t turns out that they
were 'marOoned with a limited guam
tity of food on a desert island off the
coast of HOndgras, where they were
accidently found by an Indian, who
took them to the mainland. from
whence they have made their way
home. Their story of abduction
makes one wonder whether he is
really living in the twentieth century
or the twelfth.
Six of them are SpaniardS. the others
citizens of the United States. and the
authorities of Washington have in
structed the United States district at
tOrney AT Jacksonville. Fla. to make
an investigation of the matter.

boards, where it was found today.

sHAFFER AND WILLIAMS MISSING

Pittsburg, Sept. 6.-The prevailing
opinion in Pittsburg is that the great
steel strike is practically settled, but
absolutely nothing positive can be
learned from either side to the contro-
versy. The day was spent by the
Amalgamated advisory board in secret
conference, behind doors that were
guarded closer than ever before. The
newspaper dead line" was drawn
most effectually. When the final ad-
journment for the day came at about
6:30 p. IN. those who had been inside
headquarters refused to say Il word i'll
answer TO insistent questions. and vol
Cnteered no statement. When the
meeting was over it was learned for
the first time that PRESIDENT Shaffer
had not been with his colleagues dur
ing the afternoon session, and his
whereabouts We're unknown TO outsid-
eTs. Secretary Williams also disap-
peared shortly after the adjournment,
and he. too. cannot he located.
May Hnvs Gone to New York.
1t is the belief of those who are
familiar with the strike proceedings
throughout that the two gentlemen
have started on another unannOunced
and mysterious visit to New York city.
II Is DcllpNtu Indt the ulOEnluS SeSSioH
of the advisory board must have de-
cided upon a plan by whicn President
Shaffer could go to New York and
complete the arrangement for peace,
which il is supposed was started by
the conference Wednesday between
the steel magnates and the presidents
of the several trades unions.
schwab's Proposition Impossible.
The only approach TO a statement
of the condition of affairs was made
by Trustee John Pierce. who said it
was impossible to accept the PROPOSE
tion made by the United States Steel
Corporation. as by doing so some of
the members of the Amalgamated As
sociation would suffer. 1t would he
unjust to our members" said Pierce,
ito accept such terms. We have made
no counter proposition. and still insist
on the terms made and are willing to
arbitrate the differences. The con-
mittee that visited President Schwab
had no authority from the Amalga-
mated Association to settle the dis
pute. The members were acting on
their own responsibility. The strike is
iB the same position today as it was
before the conference was held in
New York yesterday. The local situa-
ton is practically unchanged. but 1t is
I'm better shape than it was last week.
We have made some gains and are
still confident that we will win. 1t
will be impossible for the combination
to operate its plants satisfactorily
without the aid of the Amalgamated
Association men,"

Orders.
MIsLED BY A MANUAL OF FACTS

Washington. Sept. 6.-The cabled
report from Manila TO the effect that
the newly-arrived American teachers
ut mass meeting had decided to cable
10 the president complaining that
promised commissary privileges were
denied them. and that they found their
expenses double what they were as
sured they might expect. attracted
considerable attention at the war de-
partment. The privilege of purchas-
ing commiSsary stores at the govern
ment warehouses in the Philippines
was taken away from all civilian en-
ployeS by order of the secretary OF
war issued in June, and as that order
was widely published it was presumed
that the teachers who sailed subse-
Quently to its issuance We're aware OF
its existence.
Where the Promise Was Contained.
The letters and circulars issued by
the war department to applications for
these positions in the Philippines con
tain no direct statement upon the
subject of cOmmisSary privileges, but
the promise that they would have
these privileges might have been as
Sumed from some statements con-
tanned in 4 manual of information
relative TO the Philippine civil service" +"
which was published in Manila early
In the present year. and to which at
tention was invited by Colonel Ed
wards. chief of the division of insular
affairs, in his circular to applicants.
This pamphlet. in setting forth the
conditions in the islands for the in
formation of Americans seeking posi-
tionS in the civil service there. con-
tainS the following regarding the pur-
chase of commisSaries:
Extract from the Manual.
MANY of the Americans secure
rooms with private families and board
in messes. the provisions being pur-
chased from the commiSSary. The
food obtained from the cOmmisSary
stores is the best. and the average
cost for room and board for, those who
live in this manner is about $50 a
month. 1t is also proposed to estab-
liSh stores similar to the army COM
misSary stores for the benefit of civil
ian employe. The stores will be well
stocked with provisions. groceries and
other neceSSaries of life. and civilian
employees probably will be able to pur-
chase from these stores at about 10
per cent. above the cost TO the gov
ernment."
Mailed to Each of the Teachers
The pamphlet containing the above
statement was mailed to each of the
teachers appointed. but attention was
not called to the fact that the privi-
lege of buying supplies at the govern
ment cOmmiSsary had been discon-
tinued. The governments was COM
PEELED to cut off this privilege, both to
stop the frauds which were discovered
to be due to its operation and also to
satisfy the regular merchants in the
islands. who were complaining bitterly
that the furnishing of supplies by the
United States was closing one of their
main channels of revenue.
