HERNAN'S BIG OFFER.
willing to Give 1I8.OOO for a Fight Re.
tween FitZ and Gardner.

Jack Herman OF the International A. C.
is keeping his word regarding the proposed
battle between Bob Fitzsimmons and George
Gardner Herman was the first to suggest
such fight. and said he would so as high
as the next club In order to secure the
coveted attraction. The other day Alec
Greggains of the San Francisco A. c., San
Francisco, after Herman had bid $4,000
for the contest, went Herman IS 900 better.
The fighters were notified, and agreed
that this was a tidy sum to fight for. The
next day Mexican promoter Increased the
bid to S25. 900, but as he refused to divulge
the location of the club or say just when they
would be able to hold the scrap the pugilists
let the offer go
Yesterday Herman revived matters by
announcing that he was ready to give a
purse of $i8, 900 for the encounter and hold
the mill on Labor Day as already suggested
by Fitzsimmons. Fitz has all along said
he would rather fight in San Francisco.
He may change his mind, however, be-
cause the purse which Herman offers is a
large one and is not likely TO be eclipsed
by the Western club. If Fitz makes up his
mind and agrees to battle at Fort Erie, he
may ask Herman to lot him meet Gardner
on percentage basis.
Fitz and Gardner are nearly Of one weight
and height. Both are hitters from way
back, and in spite OF the difference in age
the mill should prove interesting. As
this will be Fitz's last battle, win or lose,
the meeting will be Of added interest

COULDN'T SAVE MURDERER RHEA
Legal Fight Kept Up To within Ten Min
utes OF the Hanging.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 10.-William Rhea,
a twenty-year -old murderer, was hanged
at the State penitentary, near this CITY,
this afternoon. The trap fell at ~ clock.
Rhea retained his self-oomposure during
the reading of the death warrant. mount
ing the scaffold without tremor,
The execution was fxed originally to
occur at noon, but Warden Beemer post
poned the proceedings until he heard that
neither the Supreme Court nor Gov. Mickey
would interfere.
desp crate effort was made by Rhea g
attorneys to balk the hangmsn. Six Of
them appeared before Chief Justice Sui
Ivan and argued for two hours for
the issuance Of a writ of in
junction to stay the execution,
pleading that former Gov. Savage had
no right, when he respited Rhea year
ago, to fix a date for the execution, such
authority being vested solely in the courts
Judge Sullivan called two members of the
Supreme Court Commission into consulta-
ton, and ruled at o'clock that he had no
authority, while sitting in chambers, to
enjoin legal execution.
A final appeal was made to Gov. Mickey,
who expressed his willingness to grant
another respite, provided Justice Sullivan
would so advise in writing but this the
Justice declined to do
The warden was notified Of this decision
by telephone; and ten minutes later the
march to the scaffold was begun.

STRIKE? WHY, SURE.
Pipe CauIlScrs in the subway Go Out in Spite
Of Their Agreement.

or Their Agreement.
Representatives Of the House Shorers
Union and the Pipe Caulkers and Tappers'
Union made an effort yesterday afternoon
at a conference Of the arbitration committee
of the Contractors Association and the
committee of the Central Federated Union,
held at the office Of the Rapid Transit Sub
way Construction Company, to prove that
the subway contractors were not paying
the prevailing rates of wages to the members
of those unions.
Numerous affidavits were produced.
w. c. Douglas, secretary of the Rapid
Transit Contractors Association, said after
the conference that the demands OF both
unions Cor an increase in pay had been
rejected AS their representatives had failed
to. substantiate tn ir assertions. There
are only twenty-four pipe caulkers en-
ployed in the subway.
The Pipe Caukers and Tappers Union
met last night in Curry's Hall, Forty
seventh street near Third avenue ard
ordered the twenty-four caulkers en-
ployed in the subway to strike to-day for
the advance demanded. Seventy-six
more caulkers employed by outside con,
tractors making 100 in all, were ordered
out, Some cynical people say that this
is all tho pipe caulkers and tappers there
are in the union.
The matter will be brought up before
the Central Federated Union on sunday,
but it is thought likely that the c. +. Z.
will withhold its iuGorsemcnt from the
strike, which is in violation of an agree

CHICAGO, July Representatives of

be followed out in this new and larger
organization.
II is not the purpose to wage war on the
labor unions, but to prepare n defence
that will not permit the industrial strife
that has done so much harm to business
within the last year.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July lO--Leaders
of organized labor here profess TO feel
contempt for the movement among the cm-
ployers Of labor throughout he country
which has resulted in the organization of
the National Employers Association But
they do not hesitate to deal with ii in vigor-
GUS language.
IL have Just read the statement in which
the new movement makes it's initial bow
said Secretary W. B. Wilson Of the United
Mine Workers of America to-day. THE
real object of the new movement ia I'M
questionably to substitute the newspapers
that are not already owned and controlled
by the big moneyed interests. They can
not carry on successful war with organized
labor while the public get even some of the
facts.
Il will not discuss Mr.. Parry, except
to say that every one knows he does not
represent in his views the sensible, pro-
gressive business men of the country.
To my mind the so-called new movement
is being made a mountain out of mole
hill"
at is a foolish undertaking for Mr. Parry"
said Secretary Duff Of the Carpenters and
Joiners' Union Of America, 'for he will
find that the business men and manu-
facturers are not with HIM"
