Typographical Union.

Cincinnati O., Aug. 13.-The convention

fington, label agent of the United Boot and
Shoe Workers. Consideration was contin-
ued the report of the committee

most of its adverse reports the PROPOSE
tonS for changes. The committee recon-
mended that all unions put forth every ef-
fort to abolish the interchange of matter
previously used in type or matrices, and
the convention changed it SO to read:
The practice is unlawful and shall not
be permitted
long discussion, with instructions for the
law committee to construct such law as
would prevent the exchange of local mat
ter. but not interfere with syndicate
matrices. The San Francisco machine
tenders asked for international machin-
ist vice president and allotmentS on the
committees Rejected
All attempts to change from the referen-
dunn system in the election of officers were
defeated.
The proposition of West of Louisville to
substitute piece work in daily newspaper
offices in place of time work, and time
work in place of piece work in job offices,
caused a long discussion and was finally
defeated
The question of limited membership came

POLICE IS BAFFLED.
BarthOlin Murder Mystery is
Too Much For Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Mystery surround
ing the Bartholin murder case battles
the Chicago police. Today the feeling
grew stronger that the body of the
young woman found last Thursday in
the field at Seventy fourth and State
streets and buried as Minnie Mitchell,
was not that of the young woman
Coroner Traeger today was asked to
exhume the body but inasmuch as the
request, he declined. He said the body
was so decomposed that such action
would be of little avail. The coroners
physician and other well known medical
men, however, state in positive terms
that eight days exposure could not
have effected such a change in the body.
Working on this theory the police have
sent out tracers to find VIM. ]. Bar
tholin and his fiancee together alive.
Efforts also are being made to identify
the supposed Mitchell body as some one
been missing. The Mitchell family has
taken no steps to clear up the mystery
about the body, apparently being sat
isfied that the clothing scattered about
the field where it was found was suffi-
cient Identification.
Oscar Thompson, one of Mrs. Bar
tholin's roomers, is still retained by the
police and today was once more put
through the sweating process to in
duce him to tell the police something
that will lead to the solution of the
nothing. The police have received word
from Denver that M. L. Edwards, an
other of the roomers at the Calumet
avenue death house, would return if
sent for. Chief of Police O'Neil sent the
transportation at once.

CABLE AGAIN CUT.
Hard to Ascertain True State
of Affairs in Venezuela.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Over-night the
navy department received word that the
Cincinnati had sailed yesterday from
Puerto Cabello for Barcelona under the in
Mclean, directing either the Cincinnati or
Topeka to proceed Immediately to that
point. Commander Mclean, who is the
senior officer present, evidently decided
to go himself and leave the Topeka to
protect American interests at Puerto Ca
bello. 1t is probable that the Cincinnati
already has arrived at Barcelona, but that
fact may. not be known officially here
for several days, as Minister Bowen cabled
the state department from Caracas today
that the cable from Caracas to Barcelona
On Monday he reported that this cable
had been cut, but presumably it had been
repaired in the interim and his last dis
patch indicated that the connection again
has been lost.
Neither the state nor the navy depart
ment has received confirmation of the
which were conveyed there from Barcelona
by boat, of the extent of the fighting at
American. Italian and Dutch consulates
had been pillaged. The officials of the
mander Mclean with the Cincinnati will
be able to take care of American inter-
ests there: Owing to the general dis
line of the Venezuelan coast and the
appeals of Minister Bowen for warships,
the question whether our naval force in
those waters is sufficient to take care of
the existing situation and to meet future
contingencies, has been canvassed. For
the present it has been decided that it is
unnecessary to send an additional vessel.
We now have three ships at the three
critical points. the Cincinnati at BARGE
Iona, the Topeka at Puerto Cabello, where
the Germans already have landed force.
and the Marietta at the mouth of the
Orinoco which was declared blockaded
by the Castro government.
The question of affording an asylum
to President Castro aboard an American
warship in case he should be obliged to
flee from the country and should have no
other means of escape, has not been serf-
ously considered by the state department,
and it is not believed his condition at
present is desperate enough to make such
a move imperative. Besides, it is re-
ported through the press dispatches that
he has vessel at La Guaira upon which
he can embark for France if the neces-
Sity should arise.

TURNING TO MARBLE.
Dorothy Styles Seized With a
Puzzling Affiiction.

Toledo, o., Aug. 13:-Miss Dorothy
Stiles, the daughter of William Stiles,
a retired chemist, formerly of Columbus,
O., is dying at the home of her father,
seven miles south of Bay City, Mich,
with a disease that has baffied any
physicians called in to attend her. The
girl is 16, and until a few months ago
was in perfect health Her body is slow
1y turning into marble or a substance
resembling it.
The af1iiction first seized the girl at
the shoulder blades, hips and feet, and
has been slowly eating its way through
the body. Her family at first believed
that it was merely a stiffening of the
joints that would wear away but when
one night while bathing the girl found
that her heels were perfectly white and
as hard as stone and called her moth
ers attention to the fact the latter was
thoroughly terrified. On examining the
girls body>she found that both heels,
the tips of her shoulder blades and her
hips were similarly affected.
Physicians were called in, although
every effort was made to keep the mat
ter secret and the doctors were unable
to account for the condition, which has
now spread until both legs above the
ankles are turned to marble. The hips
of the afflicted girl have no longer the
power to bend, and the power of action
has been taken from the shoulders.

MAKES CONFESSION.
A Woman Tells Police Who Killed
Her Husband

Cleveland, O., Aug. 13.-Mrs. Ignatz
Wiurchowski has made a written con-
fession to the police that the man who
shot and killed her husband Sunday
night was Charles Janaskis former
boarder at the Wiurchowski home, ana
who is alleged to be infatuated with
Mrs. Wiurchowski. Mrs. Wiurchowski
and her husband were on their way
home last Sunday night when a man
rushed from the bushes and killed
WiurchowsIxi instantly.
Mrs. Wiurcllowski told the police that
it was a robber that committed the
crime. Since the commission of the
murder Mrs. Wiurchowski and Janask1
have been under arrest Last night two
detectives went through the crime in
mimic nearly as possible from Mrs
WiurchowskPs description. One de-
tective acted as escort for Mrs. Wiur-
chowski while the other rushed at them
from the bushes. When the revolver
was pointed at the detectives head th..
woman went into Mysteries and cried
out: My God, it's Charles Janaski-' -
The confession was verified later and
written out.

BANANAS ARE SCARCE.
There Are Also Few Oranges on the
Market

There is a scarcity of bananas on the
local market. 1t has not been possible
to buv any at retail for over a week
The absence of the fruit is accounted
for by the warm weather, which makes
it difficult to preserve bananas any
length of time. 1t requires weather be-
low 80 degrees for bananas to keep.
Wholesale dealers say if one firm
could be the only one to receive car.
the fruit might be sold before it spoiled
at small margin of profit and high
prices to the public. But no one dealer
can have such a snap as this, and the
public consequently has no bananas.
Oranges are also hard to find on the
market now, that is, good juicy oranges
at reasonable prices. OF course small
ones can be had for 40 cents dozen,
but neither price nor orange is very
tempting 1t is reported that Kansas
City is likewise having a famine on or
angeS.
However, no one will worry If
bananas and oranges are not the
market for a time. There are plenty Of
apples, peaches, pears, pineapples,
grapes, etc. People enjoy these kinds
of fruit more at this time of year than
they do the juicy orange or the slippery
banana.

President Nichols is in Chicago and
will return to Topeka on Friday. His
secretary said today that he had heard
nothing about the election of President
Nichols to the new post and had no i'll :
formation concerning his acceptance.
Mr.. Nichols has recently been re-
elected president of the Kansas State
Agricultural college though there was
some opposition to him in the board of
regents.
If President Nichols accepts the posi-
ton as president of the Rhode Island
college it will end the fight which has
been made on him by F. D. Coburn in
his position as member of the board of
regents of the State Agricultural col
lege at Manhattan. There has been
considerable friction between President
Nichols and the board but Mr.. Coburn
and those opposed to him faifed-tO de-
feat him for reelection. The contention
of those who have opposed President
Nichols is that he has devoted more
/ branches of the college to the detriment
of the agricultural department.
Some of President Nichols friends
have claimed that Mr. Coburn desired
to become president of the college, which
would be the best thing that could hap
pen. Ut is not thought. however, that
Mr.. Coburn would resign as secretary
of the state board of agriculture to be-
come president of the college. E T.
Fairchild, a regent of the college from
Ellsworth, has also been spoken of as
successor to President Nichols.

the leading Democrats OF Leavenworth
said today that Atwood had consented
to make the race providing his nomina-
ton was put off until the latter part
of September. This the members of the
congressional committee agreed to do,
and now it is up to Atwood to keep his
promise. According to one of Mr.. At
woods s particular friends, the latter be-
1ieves that if he runs against Curtis for
congress and makes a creditable race
it will help him in his fight for Demo-
cratic national committeeman. Mr.. At
wood said in an interview that he had
two reasons for not caring to make the
race against Mr.. Curtis. He said that
he was too busy to run for office and
he recognized the well known fact that
no Democrat can be elected to congress
from the First district. Democratic pol
iticians, however, have kept continually
after the Leavenworthian, and now
comes the news that Mr.. Atwood has
been induced to run. When the time
comes for him to do the running he may
do the backward stunt. Some of the
Democratic leaders wanted to prevail
upon Mayor Ryan to run for congress,
but he said that he could not be in
duced to put on such heavy harness. He
has no desire, he says, to run for office,
and he may not sbe a candidate for
mayor next spring.
