now been set for tomorrow. and Willis

smaller boarding houses. The weather
chief. when his presence became known.
was much sought after person.
A Foolish Scare.
To anxious inquirers he said:
'All this scare about a tidal wave de-
stroying Atlantic City is foolishness. In
order for such a wave TO originate it is
necessary that there be some subter-
raneaH disturbance al the bottom of the
ocean. and there is positively not the
slightest sign of there being any such
trouble
THE only indication of a storm was
the one blowing around North Carolina.
and for time it looked as if il would
come this way but it has passed out to
sea. so even that danger or a summer
squall is past. This storm had no rela-
tion 20 the one in Mexico, where a city
is reported to have been wiped out by
a tidal wave; neither is the land at the
oceans bottom in any way connected
with the land at the bottom of the West
Indies where the recent volcanic erup-
ton took place.
Came to Show Scepticism.
Il came here to show that l did not
put any faith in the wild prediction. and
hoped that it would reassure public
opinion on that score. l will be disap-
pointed, with thousands of others, IL
the surf fails to rise on schedule

He also stated that he received hun
dreds of letters at Washington, all con-
tanning the same question. to which he
replied that the usual summer storms
may occur. but that they should not feas

Chief Moore is accompanied by Mrs.
Moore, Miss Flora and Jasper Wilson,
daughter and son OF Secretary Wilson.
They expect to return to Washington to-
morrow evening.

Attorney General Wilfley mercilessly

TIN PLATE PLANT CLOSED.
Over 1000 Thrown Out of Employ
ment, at Sharon, Pa.

Pittsburg, Sept 18.-The Sharon
Tin Plate company yesterday closed
its 20-mill plant. Over 1000 men airs
thrown out of employment. This
company has sold the product of its
works for FIVE years to the American
Tin Plate company, and the closing
of the works is supposed to be due te
the refusal Of the men to vote for the
rebate proposition Of the tin plate
combine. The big plants at New Cas-
tie, owned by the combine. have been
closed for several weeks.
The workers, who compose Pride
of New Castle and John F. Ward
lodges of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
were holding a special meeting yes
terday afternoon, and it was said they
would reconsider the vote against the
rebate plan and vote for it.
The Sharon workmen may BE-
brought to vote for a reconsideration
as the adoption of the plan means an
export trade that will amount to fully
10000 boxes annually for the Amer
lean Tin Plate company.
