Seattle, Wash, July 9.-News
reached the sheriff yesterday that
Harry Tracey was at Rancher Ger
aids house, below Renton, on the Ce-
dar Mountain road a little after 2
p. III. the 1I-year-old son Of Rancher
Gerald arrived at the sheriff's Office
with gold and silver watch, saying
that Tracey had arrived at his faith
er's house at 1870 a. m, and after
eating hearty meal had sent him TO
neighbor's house with the two
watches, with instructions to try to
sell them. He told the lad that If he
were given away" be would Kill the
whole family, the boy included.
Boy Takes All the Chances.
The boy. knowing that it was Ira
cey. concluded to bring the watches to
the sherin's office. hoping that the
desperate would remain there until a
searching party could arrive. The
watches answer the description of
those stolen from the Johnsons. Young
Gerald described Tracey accurately,
and the officers concluded that he is
trying TO make the Palmer cutoff by
the Cedar Mountain road. Johnson's
white boat, used by Tracey in his es-
cape from Port Madison. has been
found on the mud fats in South Sc
attle.
Posses Start on Their Campaign.
The first posse took a trolley car for
Renton. AT that place a locomotive
was in readiness to convey the man
hunters a mile and a half up the Co
lumbia and Puget Sound railroad to
the immediate neighborhood of the
Gerald house. The second posse start
ed for Renton an hour later with
bloodhounds. Sheriff Cudihee with
several deputies left for Renton at 3 80
p. N.
They Find Their Game Flushed.
There was no doubt here that these
forces would surely catch the fugitive.
But news has arrived here that the
forces surrounded the Gerald house
all right, feeling sure that they had
hagged the game. But when they
closed in they found him missing.
Tracey was non est inventus-no-
where. But the campaign was not
fruiuess. They found one man-pOOr
Anderson-tied hard and fast to tree.
Where the Boat Was Found.
Some time between Saturday night
and Monday night Tracey reached the
city of Seattle. JOhnsOn's boat. i'm
which he left Port Madison accom-
panied by Anderson on Saturday
night was found yesterday with the
chain attached to the boat thrown over
u boom of logs at the wharf at New
ellis mill, South Seattle. The boat was
seen there Monday night, but no at
tention was paid TO it. Yesterday at
noon one of the mill employees noticed
for the first time that the boat an

Union Pacific shops at Armstrong. The
force has been gradually Increased day
by day since Wednesday, when 263
men were employed inside ne nee.
All the gates to the big yard are
guarded, and watchmen see all who
enter or leave. The union men have
an unusually strong system. These
pickets watch the gates as closely as
the railway guards. and if a non-union
man is seen he is at once approached
and asked to join the strikers. Thus
far there has been no violence at Arm

NATIONAL DEFENSE FUND
Latest Move In Behalf of the riking An
thracite Miners.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July "a ma
tiOnal defense fund to which all or
ganiZed labor and the public in gen.
eral will be asked to contribute is the
latest proposition placed on foot to
help the striking anthracite coal min
ers if they need assistance in their
struggle for higher wages and a short
er work day. Harry White, of New
York, secretary of the National Gar
ment Workers and member of the con-
Citation committee of the National
Civic Federation, had long confer
ence with President Mitchell yester-
day, during which the plan was ap-
proved by the miners chief, and White
will at once begin preparations to car
ry it out.
President Mitchell wants it under
stood, however, that the miners union
will accept no aid until its own re-
sources are exhausted. White came
here authorized by several labor organ
izations to place the proposition before
President Mitchell. After the confer
ence President Mitchell had nothing
say about the matter beyond the brief
statement that he approved the plan.
The scheme, in brief. is this:
Efforts will be made to organize a
movement throughout the country so
that the unions and others may be pre-
pared TO collect funds when the time
is propitious. Public men will also
undertake an Independent movement
and solicit subscriptions from those
not connected with labor organizations
All friendly newspapers will be asked
to cooperate The scheme contem-
plates the concentration of the energy
and resources of organized labor in
behalf of the miners cause-a result
which has never before been achieved
and the ising of a given amount
of money each week with which pro-
visions and other necessaries of life
will be purchased.

Conference Agreed To
Anthracite News.

Chicago, July 9.-Unless the team
rsters come to the rescue of the striking
freight handlers the indications are
that the strike is lost. The railroads
have already shown that they can re-
place the strikers. In a number OF the
freight houses every vacant place has
been filled. Emissaries are securing
the country for men able to handle
freight. Country station agents, sec
tion hands and every available clerk
from outside offices are being rushed
to Chicago TO work in the freight
houses. Dining rooms deliberately fit
ted up and sleeping cars have been
perpared for their reception. and many
of the country workmen look upon the
strike as a lark for them.
Pickets, Police and Detectives.
Pickets surround the freight houses
the strikers deserted Monday. Squads
of police and swarms of private detec-
tives mix with the strikers and are
prompt TO suppress any demonstration.
The Jeamsters are torn with conflict

battles and large number of them

to secure the aid of the teamsters.
President Young is not in the city and
other national officers refused to dis
cuss the situation. Each expressed
sympathy with the strikers. however.
No Help from the Teamsters.
Late in the afternoon it was an
nounced that the Transfers union had
decided not TO support the freight ham
dlers' strike by sympathetic strikes or
refusal to haul ''non-union' freight.
Chance for Settlement.
The prospects did not change much
until it was announced that through
the efforts of Chairman Job, of the
state arbitration committee. q series of
meetings had been arranged for to-
day between the general manager Of
each of the roads and a committee of
five from each of the lines. These COM
mittees will not of themselves be en-
powered TO settle the strike, and what
ever the agreement may be-if any
agreement is reached at the meetings
will be reported back to the officials
of the union for approval.

Many of the delegates selected are
the same men who attended the con-

capacity, and there is a feeling at
headquarters that many of them will
vote for suspension, especially as they
voted for raising the strike fund and
urged extreme measures to compel the

of the new Koyukuk district, Of which
BEETLES City is the commercial center.
The four creeks in the district have at
tracted great prominence from their rich

noteworthy. A miner picked out a mug
get worth $601. and other pans average
from 81 to $40.
Baker fas, on which these creeks are
located, 1t is asserted will prove as rich
as the Klondike, and the pay streak in
Glen Greek, has been traced as far as
twenty-eight miles below Eureka.

APPEAL FOR CUBA
MILITARY GOVERNOR OF ISLAND
Is URGENT
Says Cuba's Two Great Industries,
Sugar and Tobacco, Are in "a
Most Critical Condition
at Present.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a circular let
ter has been received by members OF
the senate from Gen. Wood military gov
ernor of Cuba, urging concessions on
Cuban sugar coming into the United
States. 1t is dated at havana, Jan. 80.
Gen. Wood says: II desire to invite your
most earnest attention and consideration
to the economic conditions existing in
cuba today, conditions which threaten to
bring ruin to her principal industries
sugar and tobaccO-unleSS prompt and eff
hcient relief is given. With the ruin Of
her two principal industries we must
give up all hopes of q stable government.
for unless Cuba can sell her products at
reasonable profit it is obvious that
their cultivation must cease, bringing
ldleness and hunger to her people.
Relief Needed mt Once.
These great industries are now in a
most critical condition, especially sugar.
which is being sold at price less than
the cost Of production. The planter must
grind his cane, even at a moderate loss,
for his entire fortune is in the fields and
is liable to be swept away by fire or
deteriorate from the effects Of the ele-
ments."
After giving figures concerning the
cost OF production, ETC., Gen. Wood saws
that reduction of % 1-3 per cent will
SAfO al average prOut OF 50 cents on
each 300 pounds of sugar produced and
that such reduction should be the mini
mum. He further says:
Each day Of delay in giving relief is
DANGEROUS. When once the crash comes
relief will be of little value except to the
Spectator who may gather up the
wrecks here; the people of lie country,
VINO have virtually reconstructed it in
three years, will be ruined, and we shall
nave to step in and reoccupy the coun-
