RECRUITING AGENTS STOP

Washington, Aug. 6.-The state de-
partment has received a report on the
employment of American engineers
in Canada from w. r. Holloway,
American consul general at Halifax,
Nova Scotia. He says that the Ca
madam Amalgamated Association of
Engineers has presented a petition
to the dominion government asking
for the discharge of certain high Off
Gals of a Canadian railway engineer
ing department on the ground that
they are Americans. The petition
ers contend that there are plenty of
engineers in Canada competent to
fill the positions now held by the
Americans and the employment of
Americans is in direct contravention
of the alien labor law in operation
against the United States. The
consul says that it is stated similar
action will be taken against the
roads in Canada and that all Ameri-
can officials employed by them will
be forced oUt.
Recruiting Parties Recalled.
Washington, Aug. 6.-Orders were
issued at the navy department yester-
day recalling the three naval recruit
ing parties which are travelling in diff
ferent parts of the country securing
recruits for the navy. This action is
due to a recent decision of the comp
troller of the treasury that the officers
engaged in recruiting duty are not en-
titled to travelling expenses, but may
be allowed the usual mileage. This
mileage does not equal the actual ex-
penses of the officers by large mar
gin for the reason that their itinerary
compels them to make frequent short
stops. One of the recruiting parties is
now operating in central New York,
another in Texas and a third in Kan
sas. 1t is said at the navy department
that the suspension is only temporary
and that the recruiting will be re-
sumed in short time.

the board of trade of Columbus. He
was GA years old.
Former Governor James d. Lewis
died at his home in Columbus, Wis,
Thursday. He was born in Clarendon,
N. Y, in 1919, his family being among
the early New England settlers. Lber-
ally educated, he studied law in New
York and commenced practice on his
arrival in Columbus in 1912. He mar
ried Orlena Sturgis, daughter of

Legislature in both houses, was lieuten-
ant governor for two years, secretary
Of state two years and governor COM
mencing in 1864. His services to the
Wisconsin troops and to the state, dur
ing the civil war were great. He de-
clined denomination when his term
expired. He always enjoyed to high
degree the confidence of his fellow cit
liens, irrespective of party. AS a
candidate for secretary of state, he re-
ceived every vote cast in Columbus,
and his majority for governor 1864,
was the largest ever accorded any can
didate up to that time and never equal

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The strike in the
packing houses was practically lost
sight of yesterday in the excitement
attending a run on the Drovers' Trust
and Savings bank, located in the stock
yards. The rush of the depositors to
the bank started early in the day, be-
cause of an unfounded rumor that one
of the packers representatives had
withdrawn his money from the institu-
ton, and also because of reports that
the bank was being used by the pack
ers as an adjunct in paying off the
men who have taken the places of the
strikers. All day long hundreds of ex-
cited depositors, most of whom had
only small accounts in the bnak, stood
in line to withdraw their deposits.
When closing time came in the after
noon there were at least 1000 persons
waiting for their money. The place
was kept open until every depositor
who presented himself at the window
had been satisfied. The bank kept
open until after o'clock last night,
but nearly two hours before that time
the last man in the line had been paid
in full and fresh arrivals had ceased
coming
1t is estimated that upwards of 5000
depositors withdrew their deposits
during the day. An officer of the hank
last night expressed the opinion that
the run is ended, but that should it
continue today the bank can pay every
depositor without touching its reserve.
The teamsters' union, the members
of which are on strike, has $4,000 de-
posted in the bank but has no inten-
ton of withdrawing it.
No Peace Conference.
Rumors of another peace conference
btween the packers and strikers were
occasioned last night by the appear
ance at the livestock exchange of John
M. Boardman and M. E. Miner, presi-
dent and secretary of the Montana
Roundup association. an organization
of drovers which sends nearly CSC. 900
head of cattle to the yards each year.
The Montana men represent several
million dollars and announce that they
are in Chicago to investigate the
causes and conditions surrounding the

that the Montana men will try to ar.

Hand in Hand to Death.
Mr.. Riley lived near the river in the
southern part of the city and was ac
customed to battle on the beach in
front of his home after returning from
work. Last night his little daughter
begged to accompany him and he took
her and seven of her girl friends to the
beach with him. When they entered
the water, Mr.. Riley babe the children
join hands and they all waded into the
river and walked along a sandbal
stretching out into the stream at that
point.
They had gone some distance from
the shore when suddenly the whole
party disappeared beneath the water.
having in the darkness stepped from
the sandbar into deep channel.
Only One Child Saved.
The children struggled and screamed,
fighting desperately to reach the sand
bar, where the water was shallow. Mr..
Riley, said to be a good swimmer. is
thought to have been made helpless by
the girls clinging to him.
The only one in the party to regain
the sandbar was Mary Timiny, 8 years
old. The child is unable to tell how
she saved herself, beyond the state.

Immediately Mr.. Timiny organized
a rescue party but when they reached
the beach there was no sign of Mr..
Riley and the seven little girls whom
Mary had seen sink. Four bodies were
soon recovered and searching parties
worked late into the night.
Caused by Steamers Waves.
According to the Timiny girls story.
the drowning was caused by excite
ment incident to the passing of a
steamer. Mary says they had waded
some distance into the river, keeping
carefully to the sandbar, when the
wash from steamer, caused waves of
considerable height to come ashore.

Mary was at the end of the line ana

from the sandbar she was nearest to
the shoal water, and to that fact she
