ON QUESTION OF STRIKE
SILVER WORKERS CAST SECRET
 BALLOTS LAST NIGHT.
Win be Counted in Meriden To-day-- Three-quartes Of the Votes Necessary to Declare strike-Probabilities Are That There win be None.

Meriden, Oct. 15.-t is expected by the labor leaders interested in the de- mands of the employees of the Interna- tional Silver company for nine-h hour day that 1t will be known by tomorrow afternoon whether or not there will be a strike. In all the towns, with the ex- ception of Waterbury, where the Inter- national company has factories the union men cast secret ballots tonight and these will be sent to Meriden to be counted tomorrow.
 The probabilities seem to be that there will be no strike. It is necessary for three-quarters of the union men to vote for strike before one can be de- clared, and the sentiment in Walling- ford and Derby seems to be against one. In Meriden the labor leaders de- clare that a strike vote was cast there. The Waterbury union is holding off, awaiting the action of the union men in other parts of the state.
 Contrary to what was previously planned, only the employees of the In ternational company are voting in the matter. The employees of the independ- 5ent factories presented demands similar to those made by the International en- .ployes, but they were not allowed to participate in the voting tonight.

BEA UrIFUL GIRL SHOT.
Murdered by Man Who Then Blew Hts
 BSains Out.

San Francisco, Oct. 15.--Josephine Meade, a student of the University of California, was shot and killed to-day by Paul Schmidt, aged twenty-five years, who afterward committed sui eide.
 Miss Meade was formerly a resident |of Los Angeles, where she was en- =ployed as teacher in the public schools. Schmidt was also resident .of Los Angeles, where he is said to have been prominently connected.
 The tragedy occurred at 1S19 Laguna street, where Miss Meade lodged. On leaving the house Miss Meade was met by Schmidt, who had been waiting in the neighborhood for some time.
 Miss Meade and Schmidt adjourned to nearby doorway, where they stood for few minutes Schmidt talking earnestly and with angry gestures. Miss Meade stepped away from him and approached a passer-by, to whom she said. T beg your pardon, but this man.
 At that moment Schmidt began shooting. He sent four bullets into the girls body. When she fell dead he calmly looked at her few moments and walked down the street, removing the empty shells from his revolver. He then reloaded the pistol, and, after fir ing in the air to test the cartridge, he placed the pistol against his forehead and fred He died instantly.
 Schmidt and Miss Meade had been acquainted several years and were once engaged to be married His attentions became distasteful to her, however, and she, becoming alarmed at his threats against her life, gave up her position in Los Angeles and went to Boston to es- cape him, afterwards returning to this city, where Schmidt followed. Miss Meade was a niece of Vicar General Hartnott, of the southern Cal- ifornia diocese, and was of an excellent reputation.

Buffalo, N. r., Oct. 15.-Seven train loads of John A. Dowie's restoration" host, bound for New York, arrived here to-day and after spending few hours at Niagara Falls resumed their pill grimage to New York. Six of the trains carried about 1000 Zionists and the seventh was the prophets special train.

MT. Perry granted the permit to that extent. :.
 Dr. Dowie did not leave his special car at Buffalo. The Zionists did some missionary work at the stations by handing out pamphlets to the curious persons who gathered there to see them.

or "Dummy" Receivers in Voting In-

 corporators Called to the stand.
 New York, Oct. 15.-The entire time at to-day's hearing of the United States Shipbuilding company investigation be- fore Referee Oliphant was given up to the taking of testimony covering the incorporation and organization of the company in New Jersey. Frederick Seward, Horace Gould and Kenneth McLaren, young men connected with the Corporation Trust company of New Jersey, who acted either as incorpora- tors or directors of the shipbuilding combination, were called to the stand and examined at length as to the cir cumstances under which they served the promoters of the enterprise.
 Frederick Seward, who had served as a director, was questioned for three hours, the inquiry covering his connec-
 '
 tion with the company from the time Alexander and Green asked him to serve as a director until he resigned when the permanent officials were elected. His stay on the stand was prolonged because he would not admit that he was mere dummy acting under the orders of the counsel of the company. He held that he had used his independent Judgment in voting on the many important questions deter mined by the directorate when he. Louis Daley and Harold Newman, of the Corporation Trust company, were the three members of it.
 Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the bondholders, questioned him at length with the object of showing that he had not paid for the share of stock that he held, that he knew nothing of the value of the properties acquired by the votes of himself and his associates, and that everything done by the directorate was at the instance of counsel and the mere formal carrying out of orders. Seward admitted that he did not know the To- cation of the plant nor the character of the business of the Harlan Hollings- worth company, Moore & Sons and the Canada company, and said that he was under the impression that the Bethle- hem plant was located at Homestead.
 Seward and the other temporary di- rectors acted upon the increase in the capital stock of the company from s3,0O0 to $45,00o000, voted for the issuance of securities to the amount of s7L000,000 and decided other matters of import ance, and the testimony of to-day indi- cates an intention to attack the validity of all those transactions. It is claimed that the original directors were simply dummies, and that while the forms of the law were closely followed at all of the meetings, none of the directors was properly holder of stock and that none of their acts was of legal value

TUPPER FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
Also Says Americans Prefer Canadian
 Institutions to Their Own.

London, Oct. 15.-Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian ex-premier who sailed from Liverpool for Canada to-day, in the course of an interview declared taht Canada was perfectly united in supporting MT. Chamberlain. He thought that grain duty of two shil- lings per quarter was small, but said it would encourage emigration and help the Canadian farmers to some extent. He thought it an excellent thing that Americans were docking into the northwest in large numbers. This, he declared, would not Americanize the Dominion because. the Americans pre- ferred Canadian institutions to their own.
