BRITISH PAPERS SKEPTICAL
OVER MORGAN'S OFFER

London, July 10.-The Daily Express
describes Mr.. Morgan's offer relative
to the use of British ships in the trans
Atlantic combination by the admiralty,
to the belief that nothing will come of
the American ship subsidy bill and
that it is, therefore, best to make
terms with the British government. 1t
expects that the admiralty and Mr..
Morgan will come to terms, as the
country needs the ships as offered.
The Daily Mail, summing up the
operations of American capitalists
who are exploiting British industry,
declares that the members of the
British cabinet are living in the past

Chicago, July 10.-The strike OF the
freight handlers is virtually settled.
Meetings of the strikers will be held
today to ratify the action taken last
night by President Curran of the order,
but, as he stated last night after con-
ference with general managers of the
railroads that he had agreed to their
terms because the majority of his men
were going back" on him, there is lit
tie doubt that the terms will be ac-
cepted by the mass meeting of strikers
today. BY the terms of the settle
ment the strikers accept the
schedule of wages offered them by the
railroads July L. This schedule was
emphatically refused by the strikers
at the time it was made. 1t offered
the average increase of 20 per cent. for
all classes of labor connected with the
freight handlers union. The demands
of the men would have made an aver
age increase of about 80 per cent
The railroads at the time of offering
the increase July l, said that under NO
circumstances would they recognize
the union of freight handlers to the ex
tent of allowing officers of the organ
ization to make terms for the men with
the officers of railroads by which they
employed. This was one of the chief
reasons for the strike, the men insist
ing that the union be fully recognized
The railroads won complete victory
on this point.

Columbus, Ohio, July 1O-Miss
Maude Perry, aged twenty. beautiful
plonde stenographer, is mysteriously
missing. She has been engaged by
Colonel G. B. Adams, superintendent
OF the state boys industrial school al
Lancaster, as stenographer. The posi-
ton was secured for her by Captain
Ross Shaw, a young society man con-
nected with the adjutant generals
Office.
Miss Perry on Monday, June 80, left
her nome to take her new position az
Lancaster. Now it is learned that she
never reached the institution and two
mysterious notes figure in the case.
She sarted for Lancaster upon re-
celYing note signed with the name of
Captain Shaw, telling her to report az
once to Colonel Adams. A few min
utes later came letter to the girls
mother, written ostensibIy by Miss
Perry on the boys Industrial school
stationery, and telling the girls pA.-
ents she had arrived safely, had been
assigned a pleasant room and was re.
celVlng kind consideration from the off,
GERS and employees of the institution.
Captain Shaw declares the note bear
ing his name was a forgery and the
letter from Lancaster certainly mus,
be forgery, too. 1t is believed that
the girl has been abducted and that
the k1dnapper knew of her plans ana
forged both the Shaw note and the let-
ter written on industrial school sta
tionery. But there is no clue to the
abductor.

We don't blame Mr.. Lewis very
much for it is very exasperating
to have a lot of dogs killing your
chickens. at the same time if the
owners had been notified first it
would have been better. How
ever, it should also be borne in
mind that chickens are a great
big nuisance as we'll as the dogs
and it. is no pleasant job to keep
chasing your neighbours hens out
of your garden. The dogs have
just as much right to run at large
as the chickens. We would prob
ably have been mad enough to
kill the dogs had we been in Mr..
Lewis place.
