Washington, March lit is
interesting to note the visit to the

hotel in a carriage with Senator
llama and upon arriving there
was told that the White House
had been endeavoring to reach
him by phone. Senator Hanna,
who was standing by asked Mr..
Morgan if he had an appointment
with the president.
"No," chuckled the fnancler,
and then turning to the hotel clerk
he left this remarkable messages:
:'When the White House calls
again tell them Pm not in"
A qulzzical smile crept over
Senator Hanna;s face when he
heard this remarked. The tive

exchange of knowing glances.

the receiving window and began shooting.
The first bullet struck Stewart, and he

permit such strike If the local union
orders one.'
Many strikes are ordered by local unions
Of national councils or federations, it is
said, and the Central body does not have
the power absolutely to veto the action.
The new council will start with the idea
of abolishing strikes as the basis of it's
organization and will so legislate that
every union which belongs to it will be
bound to obey the central authority.
Following are the names OF the pow erful
structural trades that are at work in the
interest of amalgama ton: Interna tional
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, Bricklayers and Masons' Inter
national union, United Association of
Plumbers, Gas Filters, Steam Filters and
Steam Filters Helpers; Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators and Paper Hangers;

union.
One meeting Of members and represen-
tatives Of these organizations has been
held. Another will be held Oct. Z in In
dianapolis. At the coming meeting rep
resentatives Of the associations concerned
will draft a constitution and work out de-
tails for the amalgamation Of all Of
them. Minor unions will be invited to
participate and offer suggestions as to the
best methods of preventing ill-advised and
sudden strikes in violation Of agreements
with employers.

4 KILLING AT SUPERIOR
Gilbert of the Euclid Hotel Cafe In
stantly Shot to Death by
a Boy.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Superior Wis, Aug. 31-One Of the
most cold-blooded murders ever committed
here was done this morning by Arthur
Sherman, a 16-year- old boy. He shot and
killed his former employer, H. c. Gill
bert, proprietor of the Euclid Hotel cafe.
Sherman had earlier in the day been
discharged by Gilbert, there being sus-
picions that he was stealing articles in the.
hotel. Sherman went home and told his
folks he would have revenge.
Getting money enough to buy gun, he
went to the nearest hardware store and
bought a 3S-calibre revolver and car
tridges enough to fill it up. He found Gill
bert in meatshop nearby and proceeded
to kill him.
Without giving any warning, he walked
behind the counter to get aim at the back
of Gilbert's head and emptied three cham
bers into his victim before the latter fell
One shot went into Gilbert's brain and
the others into his back
The boy put the gun back into his pocket
and ran, but was caught by a crowd Of
citizens that had hurried to the scene.
Sherman is as cool as an experienced MUIR
derer and says he was angry and deter
mined to have Gilhert's life.

All the Negro Population Is Forced

An "All-White City" the Motto
How and When the Climax
Was Reached.
Special to The Journal.

Waterloo, Iowa. Aug. 31.-An '.An White
City is the motto adopted for Waterloo,
and the citizens are bending their ener-

up to.
This means not only that negroes are
not wanted as residents, but that they
will not be tolerated here. The reform
began but few weeks ago, but so vigor-
ously has it been carried forward that to-
day one can search the city over and in

FOUR SHOT

Chicago Aug. 31.--Without word OF
warning, two men were killed and two
others injured by hold up men at the barns
of the Chicago City Railway company
yesterday.
The shooting was done by three men,
who escaped with $1,000. Three of the
men who were shot were working in the
cashiers office, and the other was mo :
torman asleep in the outer office. The men
in the office were shot before they were
aware Of the robbers presence, and the
motor1nan was killed as he was rising from
a bench where he had been asleep.

No violence was resorted to and none was
threatened, but the cOlored people knew
what the warning meant and in less than
a week after the edict had gone forth
there was an exodus Of the black folks
which has been continued until they have
all departed.
Growth Of Negro Population.
Waterloo has never afforded shelter for
many of the colored race. Up to two
years ago not more than two or three
families made their homes here, but dur
ing the past year friends Of these negroes
have been attracted to the city and these
in turn induced their friends to come.
The result was settlement Of the col
ored people. ......,. ..,..
Conservative citizens who do not ap-
prove Of negro influence on a community
became alarmed at the increase in popula-
ton represented by the negroes, but no
positive move was made to rid the city
Of them .- ....
The matter was recently brought to
climax, however, when two negroe base
ball teams were brought to the city.
Waterloo has baseball nine of white
players, and in order to attract players
worthy to contest the sport with them,
| the negroes, who had proven their prowess
at other places, were invited for g. series
Of games.

Then the trouble began These dusky
| players, because they were associated
with white men in the sport, assumed an
air Of equality with their competitors
They were really good ball players, and
their work on the diamond made them
| heroes In the eyes Of many susceptible
people. especially young white girls. They
were not slow to take what advantages

of several Of the girls were suddenly
aroused to the condition Of affairs.
| No open action was taken then, and no
demonstration was made against the
players, but after the colored ball team

| that a second invitation for them to visit
Waterloo would be resented.
