STRIKE OF SHORT DURATION.
Trolley Line Employees at Yonker.
Out Three Hours

YONKERS, N. Y, August 13.-The en-
ployes Of the Union Trolley Company struck
again today, but the strike, like that of
last Saturday, was Of short duration. The
men went out today because they had re-
ceived no word from the company's Off
cials relative to demands made by them
last week. The strike seems, however, to
have been due to a misunderstanding, for
when President Maher of the company had
been Informed Of the situation he said the
demands of the men had been acceded to
and an agreement in due form would be
given to the employees this afternoon. This
explanation satisfied the men and they re-
turned to work after having been out about
three hours.
The strike last week was because of the
prospective removal of a superintendent
who was popular with the employees. At
the same time a demand was made for a
working day Of ten hours at 20 cents an
hour instead Of IS cents an hour for an
eleven-hour day that they had been receiv-
ing. After being out about two hours the
men returned to work with the under
standing that their demands would be con-
ceded.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LAUREL. Nd, August ia B. Wolf. a
merchant, left his place of business here
Monday morning, presumably to go to Saw
age, a small town about three miles distant
from Laurel, since which time he has not
communicated with his family, and his
whereabouts are unknown to his friends
here. There was nothing in his manner
prior to his departure to indicate that he
contemplated desertion of his family, and
his wife states that he had always seemed
to be cheerful, and did not appear to be
brooding over any difficulty. There were
no family troubles, Mrs. Wolf stating that
her husband had always treated her with
kindness, and that his disappearance could
not be attributed to that cause.
While engaged in her domestic duties this
morning Mrs. Wolf came across a batch of
letters lying between the bolster and mat
tress of her bed One of these was ad-
dressed to her and read as follows:

HOSPITALS FOR employees.
Steel Trust Will Establish One at
Each of It's Plants.

PHILADELPHIA, August 13.-It is stat
ed here that hospital for the treatment
of emergency cases will be established on
the grounds Of each Of the tWentv-two
plants of the American Steel and Wire
Company. The plans for the buildings,
which will be as nearly uniform as condi-
tions will permit are being prepared by a
Philadelphia architect, and the total cost
to the company Of the buildings and equip
ment will not fall short of $500, 900.
The determination of the COMPANY to
establish a hospital at each one of It's
plants was arrived at after years expert
ment with a temporary emergency hospital,
erected for the company in Allentown, Pa.
Little was said of the new movement at
the time the Allentown hospital was put
into service. and few persons outside of the
officials were aware of the company's inten-
tions. 1t did not require a full year to
prove the value of such an institution
either in point of bodily comfort to the un-
fortunate iron workers who were forced to
enter it for treatment or in point of ult-
mate expense to the corporation. For sew
eral months the company has been shaping
It's plans for hospitals at all its plants and
it is calculated that within the next six
months all will be ready to receive pa
tients.
Each hospital will be Of plain brick con-
struction two stories in height, with baths,
sitting rooms, library, dining room and
sleeping apartments for the nurses and
will have quarters for six beds, that num-
Der being figured as the maximum of cases
that may need attention at the same time
corps of six nurses and two druggists
and thorough ambulance service will be
requisite for each hospital, in addition to
the resident physician.

Election of Officers.
George P. Cronk of Omaha, was elected
grand exalted ruler of the Grand Lodge of
Elks; w. B. Brock of Lexington, KY, was
elected grand leading knight, and Judge ].
C. Pickens of Denver was elected grand
loyal knight, all by acclamation at the
election last evening.
George 2. CrOnk was born in the city of
Savannah, Ga, October p, 1862 from which
place he moved at an early age to the city
of New York, where his early life was
passed. He was educated in the schools of
that city and Brooklyn. At the age Of
eighteen he moved to Iowa, and in 1886
went to Omaha, where he engaged in the
coal business with c. B. Havens & Co.,
with whom he is still engaged in the ca
pacity of secretary and treasurer.
He has been identified with movements
of a public character to the extent of ad-
vancing the interests of the city in which
he resides. One of the principal positions
held by him in recent years was that as a
member of the board of governors of the
hnlSntS OIL Ak-Sdr-BGn. lnlS organization
has at its head the prominent business men
of Omaha, and it's purpose is to promote
and advance the interests of the state of

Declined Public Office
Mr. Cronk has been frequently solicited
to accept positions of public trust, all OF
which he has declined, preferring to remain
in the private walks of life, but at the same
time always identified with and interested
in organizations which have in view the
public good.

two years appointed as one of the COM
mittee of the Elks Home, and Is a mem
Der of that committee a the present time.
The position of grand exalted ruler was
not sought by Mr.. CrOnk. He was solicited
by many of the most prominent men in the
order to permit the use of his name in con-
nection with this office, and it was because
of their earnest solicitations that he finally
became a candidate.
