HANNA TO THE RESCUE
At Suggestion of Ohio Senator
State Department Takes Steps
to Save Wilson.

Washington, July 22.-The state depart
ment has taken active, steps to save the
life of Dr. Russell Wilson, a young Ohio
physician, who is held under arrest at
BIuefieIds by the Nicaraguan military
authorities.
Wilson was a member of filibustering
party that made a landing near Monkey
Point. four miles from Bluefields.
Most Of the party were captured. owing
to the inability of the commander of the
expedition to land achievements, owing
to heavy weather
The Nicaraguan general was about 70
execute him summarily, but was induced
BY the pleas of some OF the English
spea king people of Bluefields to allow the
law to follow its course
This meant 8 trial by courtmartiai
and it is the understanding that the death
sentence was almost inevitable
Wilson lives at Milan, o., and Senator
Hanna has interested himself in his case

KEEFE MUST DECIDE
Tug Men Ask Longshoremen to
Strike--Lake Commerce
Threatened.

Chicago, July 22.-In the hands of one
man now rests the decision whether a
tie-up of the marine industries of the
great lakes shall be decreed- This man
is President D. F. Keefe of the Interna-
tional Longshoresmen, Marine and
Transport Workers association.
Today, as a result of the strike of
the tug men, which has been in
progress since April, the executive body
of his association empowered him 70
decide whether the $1,000 members en-
gagged in loading, unloading and operat-
ing vessels in the lakes shall cease
work to help the tug men in their
strike against the tug trust.
If the decision be for a fight, work
will be suspended on all the iron ore,
coal and lumber docks along the chain
OF lakes.
The fact that the Licensed Tugmen's
Protective association was assigned to
membership in the LOngshOremen's as
ISOLATION while it already had a strike
on hand, is taken TO indicate that It's
officers expect help. 1t is said that the
striking tugmen have for some time
endeavored to get the dockWorkerS
mixed up in their strike
With the whole of the matter in his
hands for settlement it is likely that
Mr.. Keefe will visit Cleveland within
a week for conference with officials of
the Great Lakes Towing company.
Upon the result of this meeting will
largely depend the future of the strike
against the company
Should a general sympathetic strike
be ordered at this time, the result
would be most disastrous to lake COM

The crop has made splendid progress ex-
cept in Iowa and limited portions OF Mis-
