PRINCE GAVE
LAST DINNER
WILL SAIL FOR EUROPE ON THE
DEUTSCHLAND.
NO SPEECHES were MADE
Attends Theatre In Evening and Is
cheered BY Great Crowd
Of People.
NO SPEECHES were MADE

New York, March 10.-Prince Henry
and his party arrived from Philadel-
phia, where they spent today, at 1913
p. m. and were taken on the navy
yard tug John Bowers to Hoboken,
whence they were escorted to the
steamship Deutchland on which the
prince gave a diner to those who had
been his hosts while in New York.
There were no speeches, the prince
simply toasting the kaiser and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and Assistant Secre-
tary of State Hill toasted the prince.
Forty-six guests were present. About
9 O'Clock the party again boarded the
John Bowers for New York and were
driven to the Irving Place theatre.
The decorations at the entrance Of the
theatre We're Of the most elaborate
kind, a canopy covered with flowers
an delectric light being stretched
from curb to door. There was a
slight accident as the prince was
about to alight from his carriage. The
horses were startled by a tremendous
cheer from the crowd in front Of the
theatre. The front wheel caught n
of the supports of the canopy, tearing
it from it's %fastenings and a loud
crash followed. The canopy fell in.
but Inspector Thompson and Sergeant
Hodgins, who were stationed at each
side of it, grabbed the supports and
held them in an upright position until
Prince Henry hastily jumped from
the steps and hurried through the
wrecked enclosure to the theatre. His
cap was almost knocked from his
head. It was midnight when the
prince left the theatre.

waited upon by a grievance commit
tee representing the two unions. De-
mand for reinstatement of the dis
charged men was made, which he re-
fused and told the committee if his
ruling was not satisfactory appeal
could be taken to the general man
ayers Office. It is said the commit
tee declined to do this and a strike
was ordered.
The piece of road affected extends
from Butte and Helena on the east to
Hope, Idaho, on the west.

A GRAVE FOR FIVE.
All the Children of a Family Burned

All the Children of a Family Burned
to Death.
Binghamton, March 10.-"Dig one
large grave, children all dead" So
reads a telegram received today by
his sister in this city from Thomas
Scanlon, whose five children were
burned to death at Shinhopple, Della
ware county, last night. They were
Mary, aged 10; Thomas, aged 10; Mel
lie, aged 8; Dennie, aged 4, and
Michael, aged 2. The bodies will be
brought here in one large coffin for
burial tomorrow. No details of the &C.
cident can be secured tonight. Shin
hopple is a small settlement near
Hancock, composed of only a few
houses and the Finch Ross Chemical
company works where Scanlon was
employed. The family removed there
from this city five months ago.. It is
presumed the home was burned at
night while Scanlon was away and
that all the occupants except Mrs.
Scanlon persisted.

FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE
SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUN
DRED MEN INVOLVED.
Wharves Choked With Merchandise
and Business Along Water Front
At StandstiII.

Boston, March 10.-A strike of the
according to votes passed by the la
Dor unions yesterday, threatens to. in
volve 10000 men, was begun early to-
day.
AS far as could be learned there
were about $500 men involved, includ-
ing members Of Transfers Union No.
Is, 5000 men; Freight Handlers UE-
ion No 62S, 600 men; Freight Clerks
Union No. 1917, $50 men, and Freight
Handlers Union No. 6527. $50 men.
Along the water front the effect of
the strike was most marked.
The longshoremen, not having step
ped work, promptly began unloading
vessels which locked Yesterday and
this morning. and soOn the wharves
werec hoked with merchandise, as no
teams had arrived to cart it away.
Fishing boats brought in SOC, 900
ers for the cargoes as the dealers
could not get teams to move the fish,
this brought business to a standstill
at that point.
In sympathy with the freight
handlers about so per cent Of the de-
livery, checking and receiving clerks
on the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford and the Boston e Albany roads
did not go to work today. At the office
of the roads it was stated that the
force remaining was more than suf-
ficient to handle the small amount of
business that was moving.
Tomorrow the local employees of
the great express companies, the
Adams and the New York & Boston,
two companies which handle practi-
cally all the fast freight in southern
New England, will refuse to work,
while smaller bodies of organized
labor, such as the brewery teamsters
and the piano movers, as well as
freight handlers in East Boston will
be idle.

LAWS ARE NO GOOD
ILLINOIS STATUTE DECLARED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Decision Affects At Least a Dozen
States Having Laws Along
Similar Lines.

Washington, March 10.-The su
preme court today decided the Illinois
antitrust statute unconstitutional be-
cause it exempted livestock and agri-
culture products from it's provisions.
The decision of the court in effect
declares unconstitution the antitrust
laws of Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Mon
tana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South
Dakotae Tennessee, Texas and Wis
consin. In each of these states there
is an exemption in favor of livestock
and agricultural products in the hands
Of the raiser or producer, or of labor
organizations. Under the ruling of
the court an antitrust law to be con.
stitutional must be indiscriminate to
all combinations, with no exemptions
or exceptions whatever.

REPORT ON CANAL ROUTE
SENATOR MCRGAN'5 WORK Is
COMPLETED.
Will Not Be Presented Until kittridaa
Has Minority Report Ready
to Submit.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Morgan today placed at the disposal
of the isthmian canal committee, but
did not formally present., the report
of the subcommittee of which he is
chairman on the question of the abil-
ity of the new Panama company to
give a clear title in case the United
States should purchase the franchises
report Of the subcommittee will not
be made formally until the minority of
the subcommittee holding views con-
trary to the majority shall be pre-
pared to present it's report. Senator
Kittridge will prepare the minority
report.
AS has already been published, the
report of the majority of the sub-com-
mittee is adverse to the acceptance
of the title Of the Panama Canal COM
pany. The contention is made that
ceptable title it will be necessary to
secure legislation from France repeal
ing the French statute requiring the
purchase in France of all machinery
and material to be used in the con-
struction, also the French laws es-
tablishing a lottery for the benefit of
the canal. The position also is taken
that as Colombia put all her, conces-
sions to the Panama company in the
form Of statutes it will be necessary
for that government to repeal these
statutes.

Mr.. NELL
Sorry for What He Did and Wants
Another Chance.

1t may interest the local members
Of the order to learn that Actor
James Neill has finally arrived at the
conclusion that he made a fool of him
self in the little episode at Spokane
and is now on the mourners' bench.
The more he has thought the matter
over it seems the more Mr.. Neill has
condemned himself and the more
anxious has he become to make peace
with the gentlemen who wear horns
AS a preliminary to his efforts to re-
instatement in the good graces of the
order he appealed to G. E. Pickett,
! grand exalted ruler, and asked his
advice as to the best thing to do. Just
what TRANSFERRED between the two is
not known, but it is evident that the
gentleman who plays the heroic part
in barbara Freitchie' is on proba-
ton preparatory to making another
stagger at becoming an Elk, as the
following Official statement from Mr..
Pickett would indicate:
"The whole matter was discussed
at some length. Mr.. Neill evinced re-
greet that the trouble had occurred and
by way of exclamation said he had
never joined any secret fraternity and
therefore the initiatory ceremonies
were a surprise to him and Of a diff
ferent character than he had assum-
ed; that on the night of his initiation
he was extremely nervous by reason
Of loss Of sleep, hard work and the
taking Of the initiation in the interval
between the matinee and evening per-
formance; that his letter and like
wise his subsequent interviews and
statements were written and made
when he was greatly excited and on
the impulse Of the moment; that upon
reflection and after discussing the
matter deliberately with friends, he
realized that he had made a serious
mistake, and would be glad, in any
honorable way, to rectify the same.
He expresses the highest regard for
the order and a very earnest desire to
become a member thereof: that he
would gladly retract anything he has
stated and make any honorable apol-
ogy.
Eat the conclusion of our interview
he was informed by me, in substance,
of the law of the order; that he could
not apply for membership within xix
months, and that he must then take
his chances with the members of the
lodge having jurisdiction to receive
his application; that the grand exalt
ed ruler had no power in the premises;
that the attitude CT the order towards
him in the future would depend upon
his conduct and what was said and
done by him by way of rectifying
what has already been said and done

TRAINM len ON STRIKE.
Rocky Mountain Division of Northern
Pacific Tied Up.

Information of a strike on the
Rocky Mountain division of the North
ern Pacific was received here yester-
day. The strike went into effect Sat
urday evening and from Missoula it
was reported that not a train had
left there, mail trains alone excepted,
since the strike was ordered.
Two brotherhoods, the Railway
Trainmen and S~witchmen, are respon-
sible for the strike and the trouble
had it's origin in the discharge Of a
train crew, about ten days ago Be-
aus the men refused to take out a
train from Helena when they said it
was not their turn they were dismis-
sed from the company's service. The
order taking them out they claimed
was in violation of the first in, first
out" rule. After refusing tt take out
the train they were informed that the
crew that stood to go out ahead of
them was sick, when they went. Upon
their arrival at Missouia they were
discharged for d~isobedience of orders.
Last Saturday Superintendent Rus
sell returned to Missoula, having been
at the west end of the division for
several days Strengthening out matters
