IRON Works SHUT wN.-Several
thousand employees of the big Hecla iron
works in Williamsburg, N. Y, one OF
the largest plants in the country, oc-
cupying two square blocks, were locked
out and the works were entirely shut
down yesterday for an indefinite period.
The men have been receiving the high
est wages that could be given, and hun
dreds Of them were benefited yearly by
the cooperative system, whereby EN-
ployes in point Of service have been
sharing in the profits. The shutdown
was ordered by the company to put an
end to the strike talk which has been
going on for sometime and to rid the
workmen who want to work of the at
tentions of walking delegates who have
been fomenting a strike movement.
The men are likely to lose their CO.
operative interest in the company
business as result of the situation
which brought the lockout.

WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Filings Herself in Front of Car -
Caught by Fender.

As a protest against being returned
to the state mental hospital at Provo
Mrs NJ w. Wagstan, wife Of a street
railway conductor flung herself in front
OF a state prison car, at $40 o'clock
last night, on east Seventh South street
Mrs Wagstatf intended TO destroy her
self but was defeated In her purpose by
the fender on the car The affair oc-
CURED almost directly I'm front Of the
Wagstaff home, between eighth and
Ninth East.
The ear was in charge of Motorman
George Peterson and Conductor S.
Hanks, and according to the story told
by Peterson, he had 10 stop at owen
street, He saw a woman standing by
the track several yards ahead and he
called TO her, asking If she wanted TO
board the car. She replied that she did
not, so he started the car, and when
within about six feet Of the woman the
latter threw herself In front of the car,
face downward. Peterson says he
kicked at the bolt that releases the
fender and al the same time reversed
the car. He does not know whether
his effort did II or whether the fender
STRUCK the woman, Dut IN any event, "
fell and caught her. The car was
stopped and the motorman and con.
ductor lifted the woman off and and
carried her into the house. AS she was
being carried she said she would rather
die than go TO Provo tomorrow.
Dr. Richards, the company physician,
was summoned, but he found that she
had not received any injuries, The
woman was released from the Provo
hospital some time ago, and recently
there was a threatened recurrence OF
her mental trouble and the advisabllity
OF sending her back had been discussed
She, In some way, heard Of II and hence
her attempt to end her life. Had she
chosen the car returning to the city,
which had no fender, she no doubt
would have been mangled TO death al
most instantly
The place where the unhappy woman
jumped in front Of the car Is about the
identical spot where man named
Pierson was killed by a car about a
year ago.
