Their detection represent the first
break in the Carnegie forces of more

1ubilant over the incident, but the com
pany claims to have filled their places
at once and that there will be no more
desertions at any of the plants. The
Bellaire plant at which the men struck
on Sunday was finally closed down
yesterday, after working Short handed
until Monday afternoon When an
other. start will be made is profile
matical. Several hundred boys, en-
ployed at the National Tube works at
McKeesport. went out during the night
and day and their action materially
aided the effort of the strikers TO final.
ly tie the plant mp. The works are go.
ing ahead short handed. but the ranks
of the workers are thinning and the
supply of material is limited. The
strikers made gains az Pittsburg, and
Wheeling also. in the last "A hours,
but the advantage is still with the
mill owners. Reports of breaks in the
ranks at Painters and New Castle are
denied by the strike leaders.
So far good order has prevailed, al
though the steel officials assert that
there has been intimidation at Wheel
ing, McKeesport and Pittsburg. Presi-

where he is to address the strikers.
The number of men out as a result of
the general order Is now roughly esti-

ders at $1,000.
II is reported this morning that the
CHARTERS plant at Carnegie. operated
by the American Sheet Steel company
IS to be dismantled and will be re-
moved to Leechburg- The fires were
drawn yesterday after the men had re-
fused to go to work, and Superintend-

relighted.
The steel corporation held its
ground at Chicago. Joliet, Bayview,
Youngstown Columbus, the Kiskim-
netas valley and the Carnegie group.
with the exception of the instance
named. The strikers are considering
plans for breaking the decision of
Chicago, Joliet and Bayview to stand
with the steel companies, but what
they plan TO do has not yet been made
clear They are charging some of the
western men with dishonesty and dis
loyalty, and there is a general desire
among members Of the Amalgamated

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS
TO MEET In CONVENTION

Harrisburg, Aug. 14.-Chairman
Greasy and his assistants were busy
yesterday arranging the preliminaries
for tomorrow's Democratic state con.
vention. There is no contest for places
on the state ticket, and the indications
are that Judge Hartman Yerkes, of
Doylestown, will be the nominee for
supreme court judge and Representa-
tive Andrew ]. Palm, of Meadville, for
state treasurer The selection of the
ticket is apparently a secondary con-
sideration to the contest between the
rival Philadelphia factions for seats as
delegates. Ex-Governor Pattison's
city committee has certified a
full list of delegates, whose seats are
contested by the committee of which
Magistrate Eisenbrown is the head. Ma
tional Committeeman Guffey is anxious
to restore harmony in the party in
Philadelphia, and he will be here today
to try to bring them together.
Ex-Judge David L. Krebs, of Clear
field, the leader of the opposition to the
Donnelly- Ryan faction in Philadelphia
gave out a statement last night stating
that he was in favor Of fusion between
the Independent Republicans on the
state ticket His idea is TO nominate
Judge Yerkes for supreme court judge
and endorse Representative Z. A.

TRAIN ROBBERS
DIDN'T ESCAPE
BlOOdhOundS Soon TraiIed
Them to Their Hiding
Held Up Passengers on NJ. K. and I.
4 Line and Got Much BOOty-BIeW
Up Baggage Car

Denison, Tex, Aug. 14.--Within two
hours after the robbery of the south
bound Missouri, Kansas and Texas
train at Caney Switch, l. T., yesterday
By five masked men, bloodhounds had
trailed the robbers to their homes,
where ]. b. Davis, deputy marshal at
Colbert, l. T., and posse, arrested
them. Their names are +. c. Rich
mond, Bob Afford, George Brown, John
Gibson, Tom Edwards and Jack Barr.
Last night they were marched to
Ataka, where Commissioner Ball held
them in $4,000 bail each.
Caney the place where the robbery
occurred, is a side track 80. miles north
of Dennison It is in the Choctaw
Nation of the Indian Territory, and
the population surrounding the station
is only 1876. The train does not stop
at Caney on signal. AS the proper
signal was given, the engineer whist
led his reply and the train slowed
down for the stop.
Instead of the hurried signal to go
ahead, the engineer and fireman were
confronted by two men with masked
faces. About the same time the ex-
press messenger and the mail clerk
were communicated with through the
closed doors of their cars. Three of
the robbers shot wildly and then the
call went to the messenger and clerk:
"Open up, here Open up, and don't
be too slow about it..
From within came no response, and
the robbers again called out: open
the door or we will blow it open and
blow you to hell"
There was no response to the sec
and call and the firing again began,
| fully 20 shots being discharged. Still
there was no response and the three
men prepared a blast of dynamite and
exploded It. This tore the side of
the express and mail car and the rob
bers leaped through the opening and
| oyerpowered the messenger. He was
ordered to open the safe, but he could
not. The robbers then put charge
of dynamite to the safe and blew II
omen. They demolished the safe but
only secured $3.50.
Every mail pouch was emptied ant
the mail considered valuable by thu
robbers was taken. Then, with Posta
Clerk Tulley holding an empty mai
sack. the robbers went through thu
coaches and robbed every passenger
They got $3.50 in one coach. A negr
who refused to give up his money wa
severely beaten.
Superintendent Sam Gaines, of tn
railway mail service, says he does no
believe the robbers got much none
out of the mail pouches. After tn
work was done the robbers, who seen
ed to enjoy the situation, sat aroun
and laughed over the matter and eve
. went back into a car to get som
!, papers holding the train two hours
Then the robbers left, going east int
the dense bottom timber for which tn
Caney creek is noted.
