BEEF TRUST WINCES
AT FAST OF PEOPLE

CHICAGO. April SO.4The business of
Chicago packers has been staggered by
the refusal of the people of the country
to eat meat at the prevailing prices, ac-
cording to The Chronicle.
The demand for dressed meats in the
last few days has fallen OFF SO 1-3 per cent,
and the discharge of men in the packing
houses is general.
According to admissions of prominent
packers, this alarming condition prevails
all over the yards. In nearly all the big
plants large numbers of men are being
laid off and the packing business is in a
state of Generalization such as 1t has not
experienced in years.
The shipments of dressed beef from the
Yards have so decreased during the last
ten days that cars are piling up in the
railroad yards.
Shipments of cattle have been curtailed
by the packers, the Chronicle says, and
every branch of the great industry is suf-
fering from the present critical situation.
The only hope for restoration is in cutting
the prices

PANIC STRICKEN GIRLS
LEAP FROM WINDOWS
False Alarm in Factory
Stampedes Employees
With Seven Killed,
Many Injured.

PHILADELPHIA. April So-Five girls
are known to be killed and more than
score injured during a panic at the cigar
factory of Hamburger, Homan & Co,
Tenth street and Washington avenue, at
1918 this afternoon.
The company employs 100 girls.
A deaf and dumb boy employed in. the
factory caught his hand in the elevator
and in his effort to make his mishap
known, excitedly rushed into group Of
girls waving his hand, from which blood
was dripping.
Some person cried Fire. and immedi-
ately there was a rush for the stairway
of the building.
The crush was so great that many OF
the girls turned back and rushed for the
windows. Before they could be restrain
ed from jumping a score or more had
hurled themselves to the street, several
being crushed to death.
Ambulances were quickly on the scene
and the dead and injured were hurried to
the hospitals.
The section where the accident occurred
Is densely populated and nearly all the
employees lived in the neighborhood. The
families of the dead and injured were
quickly on the scene and the screams Of
the mothers and sisters of the victims
were heart rending. The police officers
now say that those who were killed were
crushed to death in the falling stairways
as they made a rush TO gain the street.
The girls were packed in the Railways
leading TO the street by the hundred and
those who were killed tainted and were
trampled and crushed to death by their
excited comrades.
Already there have been twenty girls
and one man admitted TO the Pennsylva-
mia hospital and half that number are at
the Hahnemann- hospital.
The physicians at the Pennsylvania hos
pital say several of those admitted to that
institution are fatally injured.
None OF those taken to the Hahnemann
hospital are believed to be fatally injured.
At las p. m. the police report that seven.
girls are dead as a result of injuries re-
ceived from the panic. three are dying at
the hospital and twenty are under treat
ment for injuries.
They say that 1900 girls were employed
in the factory.
During the excitement the fire alarm in
the corridor of the factory building was
struck, and the arrival of>the engines on
the scene added greatly to the terror OF
the panic stricken girls.

BROWN ROT IS
INJUR|NG
FRUIT
STATE ENToMoLoeIST SCOTT
SAYS MANY ORCHARDS HAVE
BEEN BADLY DAMAGED AND
THE CROP WILL BE SHORT.

State Entomologist w. NJ. Scott says to-
day that many of the peach orchards in
the state are suffering from brown rot,
caused by extreme cold and rainly wealth
err and that from one-fourth to one-half
df the peaches have been destroyed. He
is of the opinion. however, that a fair crop
will be realized, and does not think that
there is any cause for alarm.
Mr.. Scott has just returned from visit
to a number of the orchards in the state
and says that some of them are in bad
condition. The whole crop of peaches on
the trees of Colonel John NJ. Stubbs, near
Dublin, has been totally destroyed, and
Colonel Stubbs had over $4,000 trees. Re
ports from other sections of south Geor-
gia are to the same effect In some
orchards the damage is not as great as in
others. In North Georgia there has been
but few reports of the brown rot.
That the fruit crop in Georgia this year
will be short is a foregone conclusion, as
Mr.. Scott says that in addition to the
brown rot, the older trees which have
borne so heavily for the past two years
will bear scarcely at all this year.

to Georgia in May If the United States

Senators Clay and Bacon invited the dis
tinguished diplomat last week to come to
Georgia and deliver an GRAFTON on May

Georgia Agricultural and Military college
at Milledgeville.
Minister WI replied to the invitation
Sunday by letter in which he expresses
his high appreciation of the compliment.
but says that Senator Teller. of Colorado.
on April 18th. criticised him very harshly
for making a speech some time ago. He
suggests that it would be improper for
him to subject himself to any further
criticisms from senators by making more
speeches. and he desires to be assured
before accepting the invitation that such
criticisms will not be made.
The Georgia senators will assure him
that the colleagues will not criticise his
commencement grafton and urge his ac-
ceptance of the invitation. They had no
idea Mr. WI was still smarting from the
remarks Senator Teller made on the diplo-
mats Chinese exclusion speech.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. April SO.-There is
serious apprehension that on Thursday,

an Increase in wages goes in effect, the
contractors will not comply and that 1000

The situation is admitted to be strained.
The carpenters demand 80 cepts per hour
for an eight-hour day as against 30 cents
per hour for a nine-hour day and with
corresponding increases for the plasterers
and bricklayers. Both sides are rettcent,
but there is evidently no agreement yet.
Business operations in Birmingham are
very heavy at this time and much anxiety
