he is Il member of the union, after walking

In the course of a long examination,

themselves to blame for the "quibbling

WATSON UNABLE TO FIND BAIL.
District enicers Locate Only 81 900 and
an Auto Out OF the 65s 900 stolen.

WASHINGTON. June 1S,-James NJ Watson,
Jr., the District employee who was arrested
on Wednesday. charged with embezzling
S75 900 of the funds deposited for permit
work, has as yet been unable to secure acccp-
table bail, even after the amount was re-
duced from $40 900 to $40 900 The one surety
company which offered to become RESPONSE
hle for his appearance at trial was rejected
by Judge Pritchard because it did not do
business in the District Of Columbia.
The District officers have succeeded in
locating only about 81 900 in cash and an
up-to-date automobile out Of the s75 600
which 1t is alleged Watson made way with.
and these have been attached including
accounts at two banks, Payment has also
been stopped on one check for 5000 which
he gave before being arrested. The auto
mobile was the third one owned by Watson,
the others having been In turn disposed
of, and more powerful and expensive
machine purchased.
Watson's high rate OF living apparently
attracted no suspicion at the District office,
a. his father-in-law was supposed to be
wealthy and Watson, according to his own
statements, was realizing Handsomely on
enterprises in which he had embarked.
To carry out these ideas he was accustomed
to draw his salary from the District Treasury

CHICAGO HOTELS GIT HELP.
RUSH FROM OUTSIDE PLACES FOR

Hotel Men say That the Strike VIII BE over

Decline to Help the Strikers-O"e Or
Of Arbitration Rejected BY Unions.


CHICAGO, June la--With every union
waiter cook and lesser employee in every
important hotel IN the city on strike
nearly all the hostelries are providing for
their guests in a more or less, satisfactory
manner. and applications for work are
coming in 80 fast that the hotel and restau-
rant men declare the strike will be broken
within twenty-four hours Not only has
the Associated Teaming Interests declined
to aid the walters. but to-day 1t had It's
pickets at the various hotels to zee that the
strikers pickets did not interfere with the
delivery of goods. At moon the milk drivers
union decided not to 60 into sympathetic
strike, and deliveries were ordered at all
points.
Meanwhile help is being imported from
nearby cities, About 200 men and women
reached the city to-day and went to work
at the various hotels, and from cities FUR
Their away has come the information that
there are many cooks and walters anxious
to come to Chicago to fill the strikers
places. AS a result the Hotel Keepers
Association had a committee at the various
hotels to-day to learn just how many men
and women were needed. The Walters
Union fastened to picket the railroad
stations, with the hope Of persuading new
corners not TO take their places.
Advertisements appeared in oil the news
papers in the big cities OF the country this
morning calling for hotel help Of all kinds,
promising good wages and steady en-
ployment. The responses were SO heavy
that John vogelsand said this Afternoon
that not only every hotel. but every res
taurant could be running with full force
on Monday, although it was probable that
the opening Of the restaurants would be
postponed until Tuesday.
1t was the feeling that the walters would
win which doubtless led the strikers joint
committee to reject this afternoon propo-
eition TO submit the present trouble to arbi-
tration.
The proposal for arbitration was carried
to the committee by George A. Schilling,
former Secretary Of the State Labor Com
mission This was after the hotel men
had agreed that John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers Of America should be chosen
the seventh member of the arbitration
board
We don't allow any interference with
our rights, was the reply Of the Joint com
mttee I'VE will not consider arbitration
until all other means Of settlement have
failed, We demand that each and every
one Of these hotel and restaurant men
shall come to us separately and sign our
schedule and agreement. We will treat
on all individual basis or not at all"

BOYCOTT AGAINST SANTA FE.
Teiesraphers Ask Ticket Agents 10 Dis.
criminate Against the Road.

CHICAGO, June IS. The Order Of R lroad
Telegraphers has declared boycott against
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
a circular letter signed by the president
and grand secretary Of the order having
been received by the ticket agents of all
the roads centring in Chicago. The letter
asks the ticket agents, when routing pass
engers and freight, to discriminate against
the Sante Fe.
The. trouble between the telegraphels
and the Sante Fe is Of long standing. In
1890 the telegraphers and station agents
became dissatisfied with their pay and
working conditions. and sent a committee
to Chicago to make demands, and, after
many conferences, n strk, was called.
The officers OF the order say that the COM
pany, by subterfuse, induced the men
TO resume work at the end OF seventeen
days and they also say that those who
took part IN the strike have been discrim-
mated aga Inst by the Santa Fe and some
other roads. An official OF the Santa Re
said that he did not believe the ticket agents
would pay any attention to the appeal
made to them.
