.MAGEL LSSEN WAS
ATTACKED BEFORE
Two Masked Men, Armed With Knives, Sought the Life
of the Vice Consul Year Ago = Intended Victim
Knocked Them Down and Testimony Shows This Min
nesotan Is Fully Able to Take Care of Himself

ELIZABETH, N. j., Aug. 29-The
Rev. Lewis CASTOR Leary, of this city,
who returned to America less than two
weeks ago from Beirut, where he occu-
pied chair in the Syrian Protestant
college, is an intimate friend of Vice
Consul William c. Magelssen. Accord
ing to Mr.. Leary. a previous attempt
was made on the life of Magelssen.
About year ago, while walking in
the suburbs of Beirut, the American
vice consul was attacked by two mask
ed men. They reckoned without their
host, for Mr.. Magelssen knocked both
of them down before they had an op-
portunity to use their knives. He is a
powerful man, over six feet tall, of
great bodily strength, and of remark
ably handsome appearance. A lover Of
athletics, he took part in all kinds of
sports, and in such club life he was
found congenial at Beirut. He was at
one time cowboy in Dakota and was
considered one of the best shots in that
part of the country.
Magelssen always carried a revolver
in Beirut. Although assassinations
among the natives were frequent, Mr.
Leary says that Americans were rare
ly molested, and used to go out quite
freely at night without thinking it nee
essary to carry other weapons than a
heavy stick. Magelssen was a man
without personal enemies.

WATERS STRIKE IS
OF UPHILL VARIETY
Majority of the Men viii Refuse to
Obey Orders of Union Officials.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-After a meeting
of the striking walters, which was held
tonight, President Robert A. Callahan,
of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees
international alliance, declared that
all the men in the city would be out
on Monday. The call applies only to
walters in the restaurants.
If they do not respond to the call
that has been made tonight" said Mr..
Callahan, none of them will ever
again be able to work as union men in
restaurant in the United States or
Canada. as long as they live"
The call for a general strike is gen
orally regarded as the last straw that
can be played by the local unions. AS
the strike now stands it is hopeIessly
lost. because the great majority Of the
men will not obey the orders Of the
officials to go on strike. They will
for the most part declare that the call
ing Of tthe strike was fll-advised, and
have refused to obey the order. COM
mittees visited large number of res
taurants in the city today and made
every effort to get the men to go out,
but met with no success whatever.

BERLINER ALSO HAS
A FLYING MACHINE
Successful Test of contrivanee on the
Principle of an AeropIane.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. 2s.-
Emil Berliner, an Inventor, has sue
cessfully tested a flying machine, the
principle on which he proceeded being
that of an aeroplane. The experiments
have been conducted with a small ma
chine, which. is unlike the Langley in
yention. Two skyrookets supplied the
motive power for the test made, and
the Berliner aeroplane lifted and main
tanned itself for considerable time
In the air at a distance OF eight feet
from the ground.
The model is capable of lifting, while
flying, a weight of more than pound
for each square foot of horizontal area
and maintaing a speed of something
less than twenty miles an hour. The
machine is constructed Of aluminium
and tin plate and has a weight of
thirty-four pounds. It's main body is
made up of four arches, open below
and sloping down in the rear to wide
tail ends. In moving. forward the
arches produce current of compress
ed air, exerting at the same time a
parachute action. thus serving to sup
port the structure The actual lifting
is done by the tail pieces. which carry
the air current.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Aug. 30
Attorney General Crow struck his first
blow at the so-called terminal monop-
oily which, 1T is claimed, is threatening

ing before the Missouri supreme court
qua warranto proceedings to annul the
charters of the st. Louis Merchants
Bridge, the Terminal Railway company,
the Virgins Ferry company and the
st. Louis Terminal Railway associa-

TURKISH MINISTER
DEFENDS THE PORTE
Chekib Bey Dexterousiy Lubri-
Gates the Perturbed
Waters.

SAYVILLE, L. T., Aug. 29.-Alarmed
at the critical condition of Americana
Turkish relations, Chekib Bey, the sub
lime porte's envoyst to the United States
is fastening to Washington for a con-
ference with Secretary Hay The min
lister left his summer legation here to-
night, and because of the gravity of the
situation, it is the minister's intention
to ask Secretary Hay to receive him
Immediately. The conference probably
will occur tomorrow afternoon.
The dispatch Of the American war
ships to Tukfsh waters is a source Of
the greatest anxiety to the minister.
Although confident that the govern
ments only motive in taking this ac-
tion was to protect American citizens,
he fears it may have the opposite effect
and render more difficult the efforts of
the porte to afford protection to for
eigners. The appearance Of the Ameri-
can squadron off Beirut win, it is point
ed out, be taken by the reyolutionists
as an evidence of the Washington
governments sympathy with their
cause and thus arouse them to reAew-
ed atrocities.
Until he receives instructions from
Constantinople, Chekfb Bey will not re-
quest the governments to withdraw the
squadron, but he will call Secretary
Hays attention to the delicate situa-
tion in Turkey, hoping that the state
department may do something to re-
heve the embarrassment of the porte.
Uncle Sam May Help Turkey.

UNION MEAT MARKETS
ARE DEMANDED
Butchers in All the Big Packing
Houses May Be Called Out.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 29.-The
coming week will see crisis in the
trouble between the striking butchers
Of this city and the national associa-
ton on the one hand and the meat
dealers and Chicago packers on the
other. State Organizer Schneider says
that matters will come to a head in
Cleveland next week, when the execu-
tive board Of the National Association
of Butchers will meet to consider the
refusal of the Chicago packers to sup
ply union meat markets.
If the Chicago packers continue to
discriminate again union markets the
national association, 1t is stated, will
call out every man in the big packing
houses. Three slaughter houses have
been secured by the union butchers in
this city and will begin to supply meat
for the markets.
Third Vice President c.. Schmidt, of
Omaha, and Secretary Homer Call, of
Syracuse, of the Butchers National
association, were here today canvass
ing the strike situation.

RAIL WAY BARS GIRLS
StenOgraphers of NV. System
Take Refuge in Matrimony.
Special to The Globe.

special TO Inc Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug 29.-There is con-
sternation among the woman employees
Of the North Western railway. By a
general order of the company the en-
ployment of women in any capacity in
the entire system is barred. Since the
issuance Of this order the women ste
nographers in the general offices of
the company have suddenly acquired
domestic tastes and matrimonial pro-
clivities formerly unsuspected. Half
dozen of the prettiest girls have
already left their typewriters and
plunged into the duties of general
housekeeping. There are still nearly a
score of young women who are said to
be seriously considering matrimony.
The North Western officials, of
course, are not averse to the softening
and refining influences of woman, and
personally are said to regret the ulti-
mate loss Of the woman stenographer.
But business Is business, they say, and
it has been decided that women must
go. The reason for this decision is
found partially in the pension system,
which naturally carries with it civil
service. Women stenographers are al
ways women stenogra pliers, 1t Is
claimed, unless they get married, and
are not fitted for promotion under the
civil service rules in force on railroads
with pension systems.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO. Aug. 29.-Lard for next
months delivery was in great demand
in the Chicago Board of Trade provi-
sion pit today, and the price took a
jump of 80 cents per 100 pounds.
Swift & Co. were given credit for hav-
ing bought several hundred thousand
tierces of lard for September delivery
and all the actual lard in Chicago be-
sides.
Packers in other cities, foreigners
who need lard in their business and
others who were tempted by what they
considered the high and artificially in
fiated price of the product sold it.
Swift e. CO. bought all they would
sell, if the guess as to the principals
in the deal is correct, and now the
sellers are sorry they did it.

peror, made me capable of putting on
my shoulders the burden of work which
is becoming heavier from day to day.
Although my teachers were aware of

ute to prepare me r my high calling,
none of them had ~ clear provision of
what an immense burden Of labor and
what depressing weight he has to
carry who is responsible for $4,000, 900

gret the studies l took at that time,
though severe, and [ may truly say that
