NAN DIED AS
CROWD PRAYED
Train Killed Him But Trainmen
May Have Been Responsible
They Were Fighting.

Chicago, Sept. 22.--''K neel and pray for
the soul Of dying man."
At this command from the lips of Father
Madden of st. Gabriel's Roman Catholic
church, $50 persons of many creeds and
many races fell on their knees in the
networkof railroad tracks at Forty-fif
street and Stewart avenue last night and
prayed for Thomas Shaughnessy, over
whose mangled form the priest was bend
ing. The man died as they prayed.
Could he have spoken, the police be-
heve that he would have told story OF
murderous attack. Boys of the neigh
borhood declare that Shaughnessy and a
trainman were scuff1ing by the side Of a
freight train and moment before the
former went under the wheels A dis
pute over the blockade Of the crossing by
the train was the cause of the seeming
quarrel, the police believe.
The entire crew Of the freight train has
been summoned to appear at the coro-
ner's inquest over Shaughnessy' re-
mains.

Talk about the freedom Of mems

over. If you stand any way excepting like
q fool wax tailor's dummy you spoil your
creases. When you sit down you hitch

wires when I have to make those stiff,
awkward gestures that 1t seems are pc
cular to mankind.
Take 1t all In all, + feel In mems
clothes like a trussed bird. Comfort?
Give me my trailing skirts, corsets and
all the rest of feminine fol-de-rols every

trousers-and top hats. At first I was
painfully aware Of my extremties and felt
horribly weak and bending at the knees.

shorn of flowing draperies and Is thrust

MRS. LYDICK TO
GET The LAND
Interior Department Found Nothing

Washington, Sept. 22.-Mrs. Nellie Ly-
dick and her two children have again
been awarded their allotments at Cass
Lake. Assistant Secretary Ryan to-day
announced that the decision of the inter
Tor department of last December. con-
tirming the allotment Of eighty acres each
to them has been concurred In
The last of the decision is withheld for
the present, but Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Campbell, who drew up the last opin-
ion, announced that 'the department.
found nothing in the evidence presented
at the hearing by Inspector Nesler to war
rant a change In the former decision
awarding the land to Mrs. Lydick and her
children and the opinion Is concurred 1n
In the due course of the official route
this opinion will reach Commissioner
Jones of the Indian office and it will be
up to him to take some action to carry 1t
out and put Mrs. Lydick In possession
of her land. The commissioner is out or
the city to-day, but it is probable that
no radical step will be taken by him.
Recently, in discussing the probability
of the former decision being affirmed, the
commissioner indicated that 1t was prob
able that sale compromise could be agreed
upon. He indicated that George Lydick,
husband Of the allottee, who has been her
to sell the land on which part of the
town of Cass Lake is located, provided
that legislation authorizing Mrs Lydick
to sell the land could be secured in con-
gress. -
Such action was proposed when the de-
cision was handed down last December,
but 1t was not pushed because Senator
Nelson had taken steps to have the case
reopened. Such legislation has been en-
acted before in cases where towns have
been located on Indian allotments, and
there Is no doubt that bill granting Mrs.
Lydick the right to sell her land would
receive the approval Of the commissioners
and the secretary of the interior.
It may be said on the best of authority
that no hasty decision will be taken in the
case Of the squatters at Cass Lake, altho
the authorities recognize the fact that in
going on the land these people knew they
We're doing so without shadow Of au-
thority and with a strong probability that
they would eventually be forced to vacate.

Inspector Edgar T. Davies in Chicago.
Their relatives are said to be their en-
slavers. " @.
According to the inspector they have
been compelled to work thirteen hours a
day. One hundred dollars year, the
money earned by each child, Is turned
over to their families.
The inspector says two of these viola
lions Of the child labor law were found
in the shoe shining parlor Of James
Rumal, w Twelfth street and Ash
land avenue. It Is asserted that Aristo-
tolls Papapargiropulus, Is years old, is
employed thirteen hours each day, for
which service Rumal pays the child's
brother 500 a year. The boys brother Is
said to be section hand in Montana.
The case of Christ Tsiotros, IL years
DID, is another cited by the inspector,
who says the lad is employed under SIM
liar conditions the money being turned
over to the boys father, who is fruit
vender in Elgin.
The third violation is said to be in a
shoe shining parlor at w Twelfth and
Halsted streets, operated by Michael
Rumal, brother of James Rumal. In

ton, Is years old, Is employed in this
place. the money he earns being turned

be connected criminally with the unlaw-
full substitution Of Chinese before the in:
vestigation now in progress is ended. The
evidence obtained against them is said
not to be conclusive, but is sufficiently
strong to warrant something more than
suspicion that they have been actively
implicated in the illegal traffic for which
three white men and three Chinese are
under arrest and on account of which
William P. Gamble put an end to his life.
The investigation may even go further.
There are strong suspicious that federal
officials higher up than the men directly
charged with the offense exercised a tacit
acquiescence in the traffic. Their actions
In this matter are being scrutinized with
the utmost care by the secret service
agents engaged in the investigation, and
1t need cause no surprise II an upheavai
in at least two Of the important federal
offices in this city should follow.

Chicago, Sept 22.-Walter Wellman in
Washington special to the Record
Herald says:
Whether or not union labor Is to en-
gage In warfare upon President Roosevelt
with the support Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor will probably be determined
during the next few days. The executive
council OF the American Federation, COM
posed Of wellknown labor leaders from
all parts of the country. met here yester
day, held morning, afternoon and evening
sessions. but did not take up the differ
ences which have arisen between the
president and the local unions over the
case of Bookbinder Miller. 1t is thought
the subject will come up for discussion,
tho probably not for final action to-day.
President Roosevelt apparently appre-
ciates the seriousness Of the situation as
he has invited Mr. Mitchell and two or
three of the other members of the coun-
ell, with whom he has personal 40
quaintance. to take luncheon with him at
the White House next Tuesday. Tho
these invitations are seemingly personal
and are accompanied by no intima ton
that the president wishes to discuss the
Miller matter, the natural inference is
that he would like to have the action of
the executive council postponed until
after his arrival here and conference with
its sessions Saturday night, and the presi-
dent has not asked for a conference, there
is difference Of opinion to whether or
not action should be deferred.
81. TWO Factions There.
The question Is a most difficult one for
the executive council to SETTLE and two
factions have already appeared among
its membership. One favors standing by
the local unions In their protest against
the presidents action even to the extent
OF condemning the president and asking
union labor everywhere to use It's in
'fiuence against him. The other, Of which
John Mitchell of the coal miners Is the
leading spirit seeks to harmonize the DIFF
ferences and to bring about peace on
terms honorable to both Sides At this
writing II is impossible to say which
faction has a majority In the council, but
strong efforts are to be made by the
conservative men to avert the threatened
war between the national administration
and organized labor.
II believe President Roosevelt was right

one Of the ablest of the moderate men to-.

!: BATTLE ON BOUNDARY
Turkish and Bulgarian Troops Are Re-
ported to Have Ciashed.

London, Sept. pa. dispatch from the
town Of Guitchevo on the Turco-B Bulgarian
frontier, to the Daily Mail reports that
great excitement prevails in the district
because of a skirmish between Turkish
and Bulgarian troops Saturday on the
mountain range which forms the boundary
line.
The general impression is that war is
only a question Of a few days, and the
people are: removing their property from
the frontier districts to places Of safety.
The dispatch adds that Turkey is mass
ing 10000 troops in and around Palanka,
ten miles from, the Bulgarian frontier,
against which force the Bulgarians have
only 1000 men at .Kostendil.
According to information received from
Monastir 100. persons persisted in the

Baltimore. The cardinal will remain in
this city a guest at the home Of Mrs.
