ATTACK ON MAaELssEN DETAILED
Turks Arrest . Young Christian Who Has
. Toy Pistol, as the AssaiIant,


Berlin, Sept 9.-The Egyptian Gaz-
cite, published at Alexandria, Egypt
has printed details regarding the re-
cent attack on United States Vice
Consul Magelssen. 1t says that Ma
gelssen was riding home in hired car
riage in the evening. when, on pass
ing a street near the Ras Beirut Ga
headland about three miles from
Beirut, on which stand the buildings
of the American missiOn he heard
sounds of pistol firing. He turned
round to see whence the shots came
and a bullet whiZZed past his face.
The vice consul at once had the car
riagc stopped and jumped out to dis
cover his aSsailant, but could see no
one.
The following day he went to the
government Office, where he met the
Italian consul and the Austrian consul,
who had come to complain about bur
glarieS in their houses. The governor
ordered an investigation of the attack
on Magelssen, but the only result was
the arrest of a young Christian, who
had attended a marriage on the pre-
vious night and in whose possession
was found a toy pistol. The United
States vice consul Indignantly refused
TO accept the arrest of this man, and
decided to visit his brother-inllaw,
United States consul general, who was
staying in the mountains to the north
of Beirut.
The Egyptian Gazette mentions that
three months before Magelssen was at
tackled by men in Turkish uniforms,
but whom by his strength he put to
flight. 1t adds that there is little pub
dc safety in Beirut and that 1t is very
8angerous for Europeans to appear on
the streets at night. Murder and pill
lage are daily occurrences, and many
families have, therefore, moved to
Egypt.

VERDICT
Umpire of the Anthracite Cone cil-
iation Board Reports His
Conclusions.
MEN LOSE ON AN IMPORTANT POINT
Companies May Not Be Limited in
Their Right to Discharge for
ANY Cause Except One.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 9.-IIon. Carroll
D. Wright, the umpire to whom was
referred the five disputes between the
operations and miners representatives
ON the board of Cancellation appointed
under the provisions of the anthra cite
mine strike commission has. filed his
findings with T. ID. Nichols. secretary
of the board. The most important of
the findings is on the matter of the
discharge of men, based on the al
legged unjust discharge of William
Mowrey against the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company.
Right to Quit or Discharge.
Lending up to the final award the
umpire says: Taking the rulings of
the court, the assertion of the anthra
cite coal strike commission, the clauses
in the agreement made by and with
the nUited Mine Workers of America,
and the admissions of the different
members of the board of conciIiation,
whether on the one side or the other,
there can be no doubt that a man
has right to quit the service of his
employer whenever he sees fit, with or
without giving any cause, provided he
gives proper notice, and that the EN-
ployer has Il perfect right to employ
and discharge men in accordance with
the conditions of his industry; that he
is not obliged to give any cause for
discharge, but that he should as in the
reverse case, give proper notice.
sustains the Right of the Company.
This right to discharge must, there
fore. be sustained. Amy other view OF
the case would result in compelling
men to work for an employer when
they did not wish to, and thus en-
slave them; then, on the other hand, it
would compel employers to employ
men whether they had work for them
OF not, and whether the men were in
competent or not, and would thus stag
nate business and work TO the injury
of all other employees
Both Parties In the Wrong.
He finally says: THAT in the par
ticular cause of William Mowrey it
would have been better and more jul
diciOus if the foreman had kept bet
ter control of his temper, and thus
allowed MOwrey to behave more rca-
sonably. All discharges as all quit
tails should be made on a reasonable
basis. The employer and the emplOye
should treat each other with justice,
and with desire to preserve peace.
Attempts should be made in all such
cases to adjust the matter between the
employer or employees effected and
superintendent. and such atempt was
not made in this case. To this extent.
therefore. there was a violation of

respondent
