New York May with his skull crush

neck and shoulders, James Edward Nc
Mahon, aged 81. brother of former Police
Justice Daniel f. McNIahon, was found
murdered. early today in the vestibule OF

Mcmahon lived with his brother-in-law

who occupies an apartment on the ground
floor. said ne and his family had been
awakened about 3 o'clock by hearing a
pounding noise in the hallway. Mischke

10000 ITALIANS OUT.
Excavators on New York Subway De-
mand More Pay.

New York, May 1.-The strikes of me-
chanics and laborers which has been
looked for today did not materialize to
the extent that had been anticipated,
although a great many men, including
200 Italian excavators are on strike.
The agreement reached last night by
the railroad officials and the marine en-
gineers to submit their differences 10
arbitration put a stop to the general tie
Up of all freight steamers in this Vi
cinity Freight continues to move as
usual, but the demands of the engineers
has temporarily demoralized the move
ment of craft, which depend on tug
boats. A number of owners of tug
boats decided to resist the demands OF
the engineers and tied their boats up
while in others the engineers left their
posts. Some of the companies were sue
cessful in securing nonunion men to
take charge of their engine rooms. The
situation is not nearly so serious as had
been looked for The only serious as
poets are in connection with the move-
ment of barges which bring New YORK
ice supply and the docking and taking
TO sea. of the big ocean liners.
The strike order by the teamsterS
union dast night has not as yet reaclasd
any proportions The orders were is-
sued to 1000 members but only one-
fourth of these quit work. Some 10000
Italian excavators and rockrnen engag-
ed on the subway answered the call for
a strike by their leader today. They
ask 81 day for all men, experienced
and inexperienced. while the contractors
say they can pay this to experienced
men only The strikers paraded the
streets, each waving an American flag.
This strike practically put stop to
work on the subway and also on excd-
vatons for new buildings.
The strike of the boilermakers was
settled last night and the shipyards to-
day are operating with full forces. An
other strike settled was that on the
Muscoot DAM the 300 men returning to
work In the building trades there is
a strike to interfere with work. the only
trouble being that occasioned by the

NO OUTDOOR SPEECH.
Only Opportunity to Hear Pres
ident Is at Auditorium.

President Roosevelt viii make no out
of-door speech in Topeka other than
the one at the laying of the corner stone
of the Railway y. n. c. A building
1t was hoped that in view of the fact
that so many people viii be unable to
hear the president in the auditorium
tonight who would like to hear him, he
might be prevailed upon to make brief
address to those who could not get in
to the auditorium, either from the audi
torium balcony or from platform
erected on Eighth avenue The executive
committee took the matter up with
Secretary. Loeb. but word was received
today that the president could not alter
the programme which has already been
arranged and coand make no out-of-
door address O her tslan the one at the
corner stone laying
So people who want to see the presi
dent and who cannot attend either the
corner stone laying or the auditorium
meeting will have to view him as he
passes along the streets in his carriage,
en- route to the governors residence.

ATTACKS ON CORPORATIONS
People Approached Should Apply to
Companies for Facts.

New York. May 1.-The attacks made
upon the great railroad companies, the
steel corporations. the Metropolitan
Transit company and other great inter-
ests by utterly irresponsible individuals
who represent nobody but themselves,
but who hope to be bought off" has
reached such stage that the courts in
this vicinity are likely to make such
proceedings very unpopular in future.
Attacks upon the great insurance COM
panies are continuous At the present
time a man named Usher, press
agent for a dismissed agent of a large
life insurance company, and styling
himself as secretary for the policy
holders" is making a canvass of the
country endeavoring to get letters and
proxies for purposes readily understood
While such people get turned down
hundred times, here and there they
find some man who knows nothing
about it who is foolish enough to give
his name to such an enterprise to his
own injury. People thus approached
should apply to the companies for in
formation if they need any.
