MAY STRIKE IN CHICAGO.
Freight Handlers Are Threatening
TO OMIT Their Work.

are InreuIGnlnR
to Gait Their Work.
Chicago, July 1.-THE indications
are that tomorrow will begin another
conflict between the freight handlers
organization in Chicago and the rail-
roads, such as was experienced here
last summer, when the union was de-
feated and all but disrupted.
The difficulty this time is not over
a question of wages, but is brought
about by a controversy between the
teamsters' union and the Kellogg
Switchboard and Supply Company
where the employees went on strike two
months ago, because the firm refused
to discharge ten non-union employees
The Kellogg plant has been tied VI
ever since the strike because of the
refusal of the union teamsters to de-
liver or take away goods from the
factory while the strike was on.
A compact has been formed between
the union teamsters and other unions
involved in the Kellogg strike and
President Curran of the Freight
Handlers Union whereby the latter
agrees to call a general strike of the
freight handlers employed on the rail-
roads in Chicago If any further at
tempts are made to deliver goods from
the Kellogg company to the railroads
with non-union teamsters.
Preparations were made by the KEEL
logg company to deliver to the rail-
roads tomorrow morning with non
union teamsters seven carloads OF
freight. President Curran of the
freight handlers said tonight that II
the Kellogg people persisted in such a
course he would order a general strike
of freight handlers in this city to-mor-
row. The railroad managers stated to-
night that they were prepared for a
strike.

TALKS FOR TAMMANY.
Murphy Tries to Show 1t Served the
City Better.


New York, July 12.-Charles F. Muir
ply, present leader of Tammany Hall,
and former treasurer of the Tammany
dock board, which District Attorney
Jerome is attacking in proceedings be-
fore Justice Mayer, gave out state
ment tonight in which he compares
the results and methods of the Tam
many board with those of the Strong
and Low boards.
Mr. Murphy says that the city's in
terests were better served under the
Tammany board than under either of
the others and challenges Mr.. Jerome
to prove the contrary. He explains
the nature and purpose of the treas
urer's orders" which Mr.. Jerome has
referred to so frequently, and says
they are in use, under another name,
by the present commissioner.
The statement which bristles with
figures and statements of facts, de-
parts from it's purely business tone
long enough to attack the present adj
ministration for leaving Pier "a to
Gov. Odelrs Central Hudson Steam
boat Company, on which transaction
alone Mr. Murphy says the city's loss
amounts to $3.50, 900.

sNAKE-LIKE TREE BRANCHES.
blossom Like n Tnrantula and Have
Deadly ChIOrofOrm OdOr.
From the indianapolis News

From the indianapolis News.
Los Angeles. Cal, July ga wonder
full tree of unknown variety has been
discovered In a mountain canyon in
spur Of the San Jacinto mountains,
down near the Mexican line. 1t was
discovered by a party of prospectors
who penetrated the canyon in search
of water branch of the tree and it's
blossoms were brought to this city for
classification, but it is unknown to
botanists in this city.
The leaves of the tree resemble, in
size and shape, the fig leaf, but they
are of a vivid purple color and the un-
der side of the leaf is thickly covered
with stiff hairs which stand out from
the leaf fully half an inch. These hairs
are sharp and thorn like and easily
penetrate the skin, and when they do
go they are poisonous, causing swell
ing and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are of
rusty red color, and are about two
inches in diameter. In shape they are
a very good representation Of the ta-
rantula. There is a huge hairy bulb,
in shape resembling the abdomen of
the poisonous spider, and there are
several chives or stamen correspond
ing to the legs of that insect.
The most peculiar features of the
plant, however, remain TO be told.
Whenever one approaches the plant or
when the wind agitates the branches
of the tree, the flowers give on an
abundance of perfume-heavy, sicken-
ing and deadly. This perfume has the
quality of chloroform, and few in
halations of the odor produces uncon-
seriousness. The prospectors who made
the discovery of the plant were render
ed insensible upon approaching the
tree to examine it,
AS the plant seems to have no bo-
tanical name, two names have been
suggested by the qualities of the plant
itself. One is "Tarantula plant" the
other, "Chloroform tree"
