CUIIfR LET'S GO WITH ALL GUNS

Erie, Pa, Aug. IA. - The Silver
Spray, fishing boat owned ere came
into port yesterday afternoon in .
badly battered condition due to an
encounter in mid.lake at noon with
the Canadian revenue cutter Petrol.
The Canadian authorities have had
trouble for years with American hsh-
ermen who were poachtng on their
side of the lake, and the Petrol 10
kept constantly on the lookout for
them.
At noon she came on the Silver
Spray on the Canadian side of tie
lake, and at once ordered Capt. Chris
Chau to stop. The Petrol is strong
steel craft, and it is said attempted to
ram the American boa. before she
could comply with the Petrels order.
Capt. Chau,
Remembering the Fate
of several other boats from this side
which had been captured and COR
fiscated, two from Erie only last sea-
son, decided to try to escape. and
started ahead at full speed.
The captain of the Petrol, when he
saw that the Silver Spray was trying
to get away, opened fire with all his
guns, and before he ceased firing some
twenty shots had struck her. One
passed through the 81 -estack into
the pilot house in whic. Capt. Chau
stood at the wheel, and two more
struck the pilot house. one OF which
came within a few inches of Chau.
scattering splinters around his head.
Two shots entered the water closet.
two pierced the cabin two split the
roof, three swept the after hurricane
deck, while others hit various parts
of the boat
Petrol Gives Up Pursuit.
The chase was kept up for some
time and Capt. Chau was nearly in
despair as his cold water pump re-
fused to work, and he feared that his
boat might be struck below the water
line He finally crossed the interna-
tional line and the Petrol gave up the
pursuit.
Capt. Chau will report the affair TO
the state department at Washington,
as he says he was only looking for
some nets which had drifted from this
side toward the Canadian shore.
A large number Of American fish
ing tugh have been confscated by the
Canadian government, one. however,
belonging at Dunkirk, was only a few
days ago ordered returned by Score
tary of State Hay.

GOVERNMENT ownership.
A Drastic Measure Before the Leg
isIature of Victoria.
STRIKERS ARE MuTINEERS.

Melbourne, Victoria, May 1s.-Vic-
storia, an Australian State, owns all
the railroads there. The employees of
road went out on a strike. AS en-
ployes of the state, they by this con-
duct became mutineers like soldiers or
sailors who refuse to obey the COM
mands of their superior officers. This
is the way the officials of Victoria re-
gard the matter The strike was so
unexpected that no laws especially
providing for such an emergency ex-
listed, but the government now pro-
poses to employ drastic measures.
Premier Irvine introduced bill in the
Victorian assembly which provides
that any government employe who
hereafter quits work without four
nights notice shall be assumed to have
joined the strike, and will incur a pen
atty of $500 fine or a years imprison-
ment, with loss of pension and shall be
ineligible in the future for govern
ment employment. The bill also for

COLOMBIA WILL RATIFY.

hcation BY Congress.
Washington, May 14.-The sub-com-
mittee of the isthmian canal commits
sion, which visited isthmus of Panama
to inspect the work and property of
the new Panama Canal Company, has
returned to Washington.
The mission of the committee was
accomplished quicker than was antici-
pated. The commission found that
while the canal company has employed
on the work about 200 men, little, in
definite or effective way, is being ac-
complished. Just enough work is be-
ing done to keep the project alive.
Members of the commission say the
ratification of the canal treaty by the
United States senate was received en-
Enthusiastically by the people on the
isthmus. Property values increased
rapidly and real estate along the route
of the canal continues to rise.
Members of the commission are of
the opinion that the treaty will eventu-
ally be ratified by the Colombian con-
gress. Admiral Walker had long
talk with Secretary Hay upon condi-
tons on the isthmus in their special
relation to the canal project.

BUILDING TRADES EMPLOYERS.
Score Unions and Walking Delegates and
Resist Their Demands.

Resist Their Demands.
New York, May 1s.-The first steps
towards effecting a general organiza-
ton of employers in the building trades
for the purpose of. offering united
resistance to the demand of the labor
unions were taken at private meetings,
in which sentiments of the speakers, as
given out, are here partially quoted.
1.-THE complete paralysis of the build
ing industry has been brought about
by irresponsible combinations, acting
through tyrannical board of walking
delegates, or business agents, which
demand prompt and energetic action
by all good citizens who have the well
fare of our great city at heart.
1.-THE delegate is parasite on the
body public to be exterminated.
ut is pointed out that this is not a
question of wages or hours, bnt ques-
tion of whether the irresponsible bodies
of men are to be permitted to conduct
the business of the employer and in SO
doing make it impossible for him to ex-
ecute his contracts and to discharge
obligations and responsibilities which
he assumes and to which the courts
and laws of the land bind him.
"The extremes to which the unions
have Escorted and the manner in which
they have repeatedly broken contracts
with their employers have alienated
from them the sympathy of the public.
The system calls for repressive meas
ures. The public now looks to the en-
ployers to take the initiative and to use
every lawful method to destroy the Go
Hath, whom lack of opposition has SO
EN- boldened that it throttles this great
city without hesitation and without
conjunction.

It's Easy to Shake Off the Coffee
Habit

Habit.
There are many people who make
the humiliating acknowledgment that
they are dependent upon Coffee to
brace them up" every little while.
These have never learned the truth
about Postum Cereal Coffee which
makes leaving OF coffee a simple
matter and brings health and
strength in place of coffee ills. A
lady of Davenport, Iowa, who used
Postum Food Coffee for five years is
competent to talk upon the subject.
She says:
Il am a school teacher and during
extra work when l thought 1 needed
to be braced up l used to indulge in
RICH. strong coffee of which I was
very fond and upon which / thought
l was dependent.
Il began to have serious heart pal
pitation and at times had sharp
pains around the heart and more or
less stomach trouble. l read about
Postum and got some to try. 1 drop
ped coffee, took up the Postum and
1t worked such wonders for me that
many of my friends took it up.
In a short time I was we'll again,
even able to attend evening socials.
And did not miss my coffee at all.
Now-i can truthfully say that I have
been repaid fully for the change /
made have no indications of heart
disease and not once in the past four
years have had a sick headache or
bilious spell
My father. rs years old. is a Pos

to the cups of good Postum which
he enjoys each day" Name furnished
