MAcH1N1sTs STRIKE ON q. P. R.R.
Order Went Into Effect in Omaha This
Morning.

OMAHA, Neb., June 30.-The order au-
thorizing a strike of all the machinists on
the Union Pacific system went into effect
at 10 this morning. There were few men
left to walk out in Omaha and Council
Bluffs, however the machine shops having
been closed down Friday night. Nobody
but the machinists knew what hour the
walkout would occur, and railroad officials
were kept in suspense until the men should
stop work. No reports were received from
outside shops up to noon, but it is under
stood that the order issued from the eXecu-
tive committee of the International Ma
chinists' Union merely authorized the
strike and that a vote will be taken by
local unions before the actual walkout oc-
ours. In Omaha this preliminary step had
been taken
There will be about LOO men affected by
the strike This includes molders and boil
ermakers who have already struck, those
who were locked out, and those who are
expected to obey the strike order of the
n.achinists' executive committee.
Vice President Wilson of the Machinists'
Union is in the city and Grand President
James O'Conrell is expected in a day or
two. Chairmen of the boards of adjustment
of the different branches of the trainmen
were in the city today but declare their
presence here has nothing to do with the
strike A large meeting of the machinsts
was in progress during the day at the labor
temple behind closed doors

fifteen typewriter operators, with the object
of preparing for the information of Con-
gress a statement in detail of the revenues
and expenditures of the military govern
ment of Cuba during the occupancy of that
island by the military forces of the United

PRESS DISPATCHES CONFIRMED.
Blockade Established by the Venezue-
Ian Government.

The State Department received cable
gram today from United States Minister
Bowen at Caracas confirming the press dis
patches in regard to the blockade establish
ed by the Venezuelan government at a
number of points.
The officials declined to make the text of
Mr.. Bowen's dispatch public. but 1t is I'M
derstood that it indicates that an important
battle and one that will probably decide
the fate of the Castro administration is
imminent. Mr. Bowen did not request any
additional protection from this government
in the shape of either warshipS or marines.
Acting Secretary of State Hill spent the
greater part Of this morning in consultation
with the President regarding the rival as
phah claims in Venezuela. AS a result it
may be stated that the President has de-
cided to protect the present occupants Of
the asphalt property-the National Asphalt
Company-from dispossessfon until the de-
cision Of the supreme court Of Venezuela
has been rendered and reviewed by the
United States.
This matter was brought to a head by an
appeal from the Warner-Quinlan asphalt
syndicate, asking for the restoration of the
rights which they claim In the asphalt lake
region, but this government has decided as
already stated. to await the decision of the
highest court of Venezuela and it's rev,ewaI
by the United States before any further
action Is taken.

Myron Lefhngweu Accused by His
Wife of Making Threats

Myron L. Leffingwe1l, an actor and play
wright, appeared as a defendant before Judge
Kinball in the United States branch of the
Police Court this morning on a charge of
threatening his wife, Fife D. Leffingwell, an
actress. After hearing the facts the court;
released the defendant on his personal
bonds. Mr.. and Mrs. IIeffingwell reside on

Anderson decided to hold him on charge of
threats and required him to deposit S10O
collateral for his appearance in the Police

Mrs. Leff1ngwell recited to Judge Kimball
this morning that she was afraid her hus-
band would do her bodily harm, and that
yesterday he made threat of what he in
tended to do, and as she was afraid he
might put the threat into execution she ap-
pealed to the police. She said her husband
was apparently not in his right mind, and
that Saturday night he brought a sledge
hammer and a. piece of railroad iron home
with him and put them under the bed before

ed as his own lawyer and questioned his
wife. ~
The defendant took the stand and in g.
tention Of haITning his wife, and that such
a thought had never entered his mind. He
said he had an engagement at one Of the
local theaters during last week, and that
when he went home Saturday night he Dor
rowed the sledge hammer to take home
with him for1the purpose Of breaking up
oyster shells to be used in building path
way in front aof his. house.
What about taking the sledge hammer
to bed with you?" the court asked.
That's right, your honor, but l only had
it under the, bed he replied. land" he
continued, IL did not take the hammer to
my room with the intention of harming
my wife with it." ..,
What use did you intend to put it top
his honor inquired ; -..
You see, weflive in an isolated section of
the city and and 1 took the hammer to
my room with the intention of using it on
burglars if they entered our house." the de-
PENDANT explained
After her husband had made his state
ment to the court Mrs. LeftingweII again
declared that she was afraid of her hus-
band. and said that she did not think his
mind was right. and wanted the court to
require him to keep away from her
Judge kimball decided that the case had
been made out. but was of the opinion that
