pontiff to the Catholic world, who de- light to pay tribute to the statesman ship, tact and splendid genius of their loved pope, who has done much for the progress of civilization. From crowned head to peasant, from peasant to labor ing man, prayers and good wishes have been expressed for this remarkable man.
 ''Leo has known no nationality, but has been interested in all. Deprived of temporal power, he has possessed a greater power, a dynamic that has con trolled the hearts of men and shaped in many instances the policies of mon archies and republics. He has restored the golden age of the papacy ill it's best sense. As philanthropist, poet, educator an4 reformer, the name or Leo XIII will be placed among tne very great, if not the greatest pope in history"

 New York, July 13.-Fifteen persons have been hurt by falling into a sub- way excavation at Lenox avenue and 125th street, after jumping from a burning trolley car on which they had a thrilling ride for several blocks, while the motorman was making desperate efforts to reach a fire engine house.
 The car was filled with about eighty passengers mostly women and chil- dren. When they discovered the fire many tried to jump, but the motorman put on full power. He had not gone two blocks before the car was envel- oped in flames. The conductor saw that there was danger of burning the whole carload of passengers and rang the bell. The car came to a standstill right over the excavation for the sub way. The passengers piled off on top of one another. The planking over the hole collapsed and about twenty five persons were carried down. Those on the bottom were severely bruised, but only one was in a serious condition.

 Worthless Citizens.

Negro Leaders Will Get Rid of
 Worthless Citizens.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 13.-Ne- gro leaders in Indianapolis are taking steps to avert race war. The Evans vile riots and conflicts between the rioters have made them apprehensive of similar outbreak here. An organi- zation that is known as the Negro Busi- ness league has just been formed to rid the city of what the better element of the race calls the Jim Grow" negro. The prime movers of tlfis league are J. H. Lott; Dr. B. J. Morgan and A. B. Manning. Gurley Brewer, editor of the World, the negro organ, who is supporting the movement, said:
 "It is very easy to determine who the shiftless, worthless negroes are. Agents of the Negro Business league will make inquiry concerning them, and those who will not work will be reported to the authorities with request that they be driven out of town. This scheme of ridding the city of worthless negroes is both practical and sensible"

GRUMBLINGS ARE HEARD
Rumor That Union Men are Tired Sup
 porting Strikers.

The air is full of reports to-day to the effect that at the meeting of the Central Labor union tonight strong pressure will be brought to.bear by the delegates'o certain unions to have the strike of the trolleymen settled in some manner. It is said that many members of various unions. are tired of the strike and desire that,it should be settled. They. have been paying as- sessments tor six months and they think that is long enough. They be lieve that Waterbury should fall in line with Bridgeport They claim that about $14, ,OOO have been paid by local 11nionists to the strikers fund and that the strikers should feel well satisfied with that amount. Walking two or three miles is not very pleas ant in this weather. It is also dis agreeable to have visitors from out of town and not be able to show them about the city on the trolley cars. Whether there is any truth in these reports or not will be seen at to- nights meeting of the Central Labor union.

THE DAILY STATEMENT.
Harry Warren Still in the Ranks of the
 Strikers.

Harry Warren Still in the Ranks of the Strikers.
 The strikers executive committee issued the following statement this af ternoon.
 ''This marks the 1S4th day of our
 strike, which is still going steadfastly
 on. Whether strikes in Bridgeport or
 throughout the country are declared off or not makes little difference with our strike. Our strike is separate and
 distinct from all other strikes as it is
 entirely different, and the public of
 Waterbury also is unlike the public ih
 many other places. Here we have fought man to man with liberal
 public is backing us up. Other places
 have probably been less fortunately
 situated with the stick -to-itiveness so
 necessary in all tests of endurance.
 The Waterbury strike is still oM The Waterbury public is still with us.
 And incidentally, we must also state that down in little Naugatuck and out in the suburban villages, we are being Loyalty backed up in our struggle. 1 When this strike in Waterbury is set tied, it will be no unconditional sur
 render, but the settlement must be one that will reflect nothing but credit
 upon those who have supported us so truly from the start as we'll as honor to ourselves. And right here we might say that if those nasty mer- chants had not been so eager to take sides with the company against us Tn our fair request for more money | (which eventually would go to those l merchants the settlement might have | been reached ere this.
 Another pipe dream has struck somebody, who started the rumor that Harry Warren had gone back to the company. Harry was at our meeting bright and early this mornng, by his very presence mailing this rumor as a fake Whats coming next, we won der.
 1.-Two or three more accidents have occurred since our last statement, the
 most serious being the running down of man and throwing him over an
 embankment. The man claims the gong was not rung. The other acci-
 dents consisted simply of cars running off the tracks and tail end bumps. You take chances of having plenty of ex- citement with ride these days. And we hear very little of suspensions just now
 ''We> get tired mailing fakes, some
 times, but we must just once more
 kill that one about Brother Horgan at
 tending several meetings in Bridgeport
 and exhorting them to remain on
 strike. MT Horgan has been to Bridge
 port only once since the strike began
 down there. Next"
