union MILLS ARE IDLE
WHILE THE NONUNION PLANTS ARE
WORKING STEADY.
Condition In the Sheet Steel Industry
tiOn Is Trying to Improve.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 31.-The result of
the convention to-day of the sheet mill
lodges of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers will probably
bring about a decision that the men will
work turns of six hours each instead of
eight as at present, and the limit of output
be the same for each turn. This solution
of the present deplorable condition of the
sheet steel trade is thought to be sufficient
to bring about the desired effect. A vote
will be taken on the matter tomorrow
The convention met to-day and was rep
resented by twenty-seven lodges, with as
many delegates. In the absence of Pres-
dent Theodore j. Shaffer, Secretary John
Williams acted as chairman of the meet
ing.
The union mills are nearly all idle, while
the nonunion mills are working steady. The
manufacturers say that with a restriction
on the output the cost of production is
greater than with the limit removed. For
this reason the nonunion mills have an ad-
vantage of the union mills and are turning
out nearly all the sheet steel that is being
manufactured.
The question of opening up all the nom
union mills was not discussed at to-day $
meeting. This action will be the last re-
sort to bring about better condition of
the industry.

DO NOT WANT A CHANGE.


BERLIN, Aug. 31.-The National Zeitung
SAYS the Danish West Indian commission is
said TO have reported as follows to Finance
Minister Hage: THE population of the
islands is satisfied to remain under Danish
rule The whites hope from the newly
awakened interest of Denmark i'm the
islands an Improvement OF economic con-
ditons and the fostering of civilizing in
fiuences. The negroes. for the greater part.
are Indifferent and know but little about
Denmark. The administration of the
islands was found TO he impractical and
expensive. and the hygienic conditions en-
tirely unsatisfactory
1t is believed says the National Zeitung.
that the commission will report in favor of
reducing the military establishment on the
islands and reorganize the gendarmerie on
modern lines. The report will also sug-
gest that more attention be paid to public
instruction. the Improvement of the hos
pitfalls. the tobacco growing industry and the
raising of corn. The commission places
great weight on the necessity for commu-
nicaton between the islands themselves and
with Denmark. The belief is expressed that
the exports of the islands can be developed
and i'm this connection hopes are based on
the new West Indian Steamship and Land
Company

WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-The commits
sioner OF internal revenue has made an as
sessment of $4,000 on Kingan & CO.. of the
Sixth Indiana district, for oleomargarine
colore1 I'm imitation of butter. which was
returned as uncolored. This sum represents
the difference between the tax on uncol-
o-ed. which is one-fourth of a cent pound,
and that on colored. which is 10 cents. In
addition to this assessment a penalty OF
$1,000 is imposed for violation of law. IL
is understood the act of the Indiana firm
was unlntentiOnal and that the penalty i'm
posed was therefore lenient.
The Internal revenue officials are unusual
ly active in the direction of enforcing the
anti-oleomargarine act. Evasions of law are
apprehended In returning colored oleo as
Uncolored Is constantly increasing. Many
assessments have been made during the
past six months. running from 5000 TO
$50.0J0 Settlements have been made in
most of the cases and i'm only one instance
has threat been made to take the mat
ter into the courts. The officials explain
that i'm the majority of the cases the vio-
latiOns OF law are not willful. They are
due to the ignorance of the manufacturers
that certain oils used are regarded as col
orng matter. and the officials believe that
as soon as the fact becomes generally rec
Ognized that any compound of whatsoever
nature which adds color to the oleo makes
the product subject TO the 10-cent tax that
evasions of the law will cease.

POSSIBLY A FAKE Will
ALLEGED LAST TESTAMENT OF THE
LATE CHARLES l.. FAIR.
Document Received Through the
Mails by a San Francisco JudGe-A
Putative Heir introduced.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. a.-What
purports to be the last will and testament
of the late Charles l.. Fair has made its
way through the United States mail in a
mysterious manner to the chambers of Su-
perior Judge f. ]. Murasky. The document
is in the custody of the county clerk. On
opening it, Judge Murasky found what pur-
ports to be will signed by the late mil
lionaire, Charles l.. Fair, and witnessed by
the late /. w. Lees and w. III. l.. Barnes.
The document was short and typewriter.
Fairs signature and that of the two alleged
witnesses being written i'm ink. In this al
legged will, Fair mentions his son. Charles
j." and to him he bequeaths the sum OF
$4,000. In addition to this bequest the sum
of $4,000 is bequeathed TO The Roman
Catholic Orphan Asylum $4,000 to "Jo-
seph Harvey" and $4,000 "To the city Of
San Francisco for the purpose OF founding
a hospital. The residue of the testator's
estate is left to his wife. who is also named
as executrix. The alleged will is dated at
San Francisco, April 16, 1901.
1t will be remembered that about eleven
months ago an heir, Charlie Fair, was
brought forward in this city, although he
never appeared in person, and the matter
was dropped without any investigation
Whether one will come forward and petit
tion the court TO probate the alleged will
of Charles L. Fair, which reached Judge
Murasky i'm mysterious a manner, is a
matter of conjecture. Any way. the docu-
ment, whether genuine fictitious, has
been brought to light in most unusual
manner.

NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE OATH.


WASHINGTON. Aug s1.-As result of
an investigation of the question, acting
Secretary Darling. of the Navy Department
has concluded that there is no occasion for
any action by the Navy Department at
this time on the proposition that all en-
ployes Of the Navy Department and navy
yards be required to take the oath of al
legiance TO the United States. He found
upon inquiry that citizens OF the
United States and only such noncitizens as
have been honorably discharged from the
army, navy or marine corps eligible
for employment in the naval establishment.
These requirements he considered sufficient
guarantee of the loyalty to the United
States of the men in the employ of the
civil naval establishment.
Acting Secretary Darling has received a
report from Navy Constructor Capps re-
garding the charges of discrimination
against the veterans Of the civil war at the
New York navy yard. The constructor
says that no discrimination against veterans
has been in operation and characterizes the
charges as extraordinary allegations" !"
Mr.. Darling considers the report as fully
disposing OF the charges.

THE UNKEFER MYSTERY
LOGANsPORT CORONER AND POLICE
WORKING FOR A SOLUTION.
Authorities Satisfied that Yonns I'm

Murder Was Committed.
Irecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Aug. 31.-Tne mys-
terry surrounding the supposed murder Of
Joseph Unkefer, jr., continues to occupy
the attention of Coroner j. p. Hctherington
and the Logansport police. While some
progress has been made toward the soluti Dn
of the problem. evidence at noon was in
sufficient to warrant the filing of a charge
of murder against anyone. The authorities
are satisfied that young Unkefer was the
victim OF a violent death and thai murder
was committed.
Since the arrest of Joseph Unkefer, sr.,
the father OF the dead boy, the coroner and
police nave labored assiduoCsly TO secure
some tangible evidence. Unkefer, mis- wife
and daughter, were put through series
of questions and conflicting stories were OBJ
tanned from them. 1t developed >that be-
fore the elder Unkefer and his son had
reached home in the evening the father
was seen struggling with his son near an
overhead bridge in Shultztown and that he
had him down on the ground at
one time. Other evidences of a
quarrel between father and son are said to
be in the hands of the authorities. Unkefer
and the female members of his family all
deny any knowledge of a quarrel between
them. However. the authorities claim to
have witnesses to prove that Unkefer was
fighting with his son and that he struck
him once. The elder Unkefer is persistent
in his claim that he knew nothing what
ever about the sons condition, except that
he was intoxicated when he left him lying
on the tie pile near the house. Harry Grace,
the young man from whom the elder Un-
kefer separated his son in the early part
of the previous evening, and who is said
TO have struck the old man with a rock
is still in Jail, pending further investiga
ton and trial on charge of assault and
battery. He maintains ignorance of the
cause of young Unkefer's death and insists
that he had trouble with him. Gre acc
had been forbidden to pay attentions to the
daughter OF Unkefer. but this, he claims,
did not embitter him against her parents
or any member of the family
