Said TO Have Been Offered By Packers Mayor

Peace Proposition From Packers.
DETAILS OF SECRET NEGOTIATION

board on Saturday morning. The labor
officials were given to understand that
nlr. Armour, who had intended to leave
for the east Friday night would re-
main over until Tuesday.
When the proposition was presented
to the allied trades conference board
Saturday morning committee was ap-
pointed to draft an answer and address
1t to ]. Ogden Armour. This answer
followed the lines suggested by Mr.
Skinner but added how the arbitration
board should be formed and that the
details OF how the men should return
to work should be arranged by a con-
ference of the packers and labor Off
cials.
This was given to Mr.. Skinner and in
few hours he reported that the part
referring to the details of how the men
should return to work was not sat
isfactory. 1t was also said that Mr..
Armour had suggested that the prop
osition of the strikers should be direct
cd to all the packers instead of to HIM
self alone
When this report was made to an
adjourned meeting of the Allied Trades
conference board Saturday afternoon
the members refused to alter the docu-
ment on the ground that 1t was abso-
lutely fair, but the committee was au-
thorized to submit the peace PROPOSE
ton to all the packers. A special
meeting Of the Allied Trades confer
ence board was held Sunday morning,
but no answers having been received an
adjournment was taken until this
morning. But Is was not until this
afternoon that Mr.. Skinner reported all
negotiations were off.
This leaves matters just where they
were several days ago except that 1t
has created a still worse temper among
the rank and file of the strikers and the
fear grows among the leaders that it
will be impossible to hold the more tur-
bulent element in check much longer.
They are being encouraged by their
leaders to believe that the packers are
on the verge of giving up the fight and
if they will only wait patiently few
days longer victory will be theirs.
AS the days go by without tangible
result, however, their impatience
grows and unless results are secured
soon, an outbreak of violence is fear
ed all along the line. Not much is
hoped for from Mayor Harrison's
interference. Representatives of both
sides of the controversy will meet him
and probably submit propositions, but
with the spirit which exists of inde-
pendence on lne part of the packers
and non-concession on the part Of the
strikers, it is believed that no satisfac-
tory middle ground of settlement will
be reached at THIS time.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-The secret peace
negotiations between the packers ana
strikers which appeared so promising
Saturday were broken off today, the
union officials rejecting the terms Of
fered by ,ue packers through a mys-
terious third party.
Immediately afterward President
Donnelly declared that while the pack
ers were already defeated in their ef-
forts to crush the unions that they
would probably hold out another week
or two before making satisfactory
settlement with the strikers. He also
said that he did not believe any third
party could bring about a settlement,
Mayor Harrison however, at the re-
quest of several market and grocers as
sociations has requested separate con-
representatives and these will be held
Tuesday.
In his letters to the interested parties
the mayor states:
"The packing house strike Is caus-
ing great financial loss to the meat
dealers and in their interest and in the
still greater interest of the general pub
lie, | beg to ask you for an immediate
conference in the earnest hope that II
will lead to an amicable settlement OF
the existing troubles"
President Donnelly, John ]. Fitzpat-
rick and Matthew Carr will meet Mayor
Harrison at 10 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing.
The breaking off of the secret peace
negotiations was the most sensational
incident of the entire strike. The union
officials were confident that a settle
ment woulu De the outcome and held
this view until 4 o'clock this after
noon. The details of the secret nego-
tiations are as follows:
Last Thursday afternoon w. e.
Skinner, general agent of the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company WIS.,
tied President Donnelly in the transit
house and presented him with a plan
of settlement which If accepted by the
strikers would be signed in an hour by
]. Ogden Armour. The proposition was
that all the strikers would be rein
stated as soon as possible and that the
question of wages would be arbitrated.
President Donnelly hastily called a
conference of strike leaders and placed
the proposition before them. At the
same time those present were Informed
tnat no outside influence could ever
settle the strike and that of all the
plans that had been presented for a
settlement that proposed by Mr.. Skin
ner was the most promising. The labor
officials present-President Donnelly
John J. Fitzpatrick, Mathew Carr and
]. L. Tracy-decided TO report the
matter to the allied trades conference

CRAZY PATCH
BOUNDARY LINES IN BRAN.
MOCK DISTRICT.
THE ALLIA nee CASE
Heard Before Judge M.
E. Aungst Yesterday

The Brannock bill case was heard
before Probate Judge Aungst Monday
in court room No. 8, and evidence was
introduced upon the part of Joseph
Klinger, the saloonkeeper who is trying
to have the election set aside, showing
that there had been a disregard Of well
defined boundaries in the making of the
district. 1t appears that the district
was laid out rather haphazardly with
the aid of an olu map that was inac-
Curate in many particulars, and that
the boundaries are along streets that
have been vacated and no longer exist,
and follow lot lines that are not accu-
rate. The map of the district submitted
by Klinger was compared with that of
the temperance people and as there
were no discrepancies the defence in
troduced no testimony whatever. The
case will be argued to the judge and
then submitted. Those who heard the
testimony seem to be of the opinion
that the court will be compelled to set
the election aside. If that is done. the
temperance people Will Immediately
take steps TO have another vote, and
will be more careful in the matter of
fixing boundaries. 1t is said that a
proposition TO compromise on second
election was rejected by the "drys."

the result that DR.. Strong went to a

FORLORN HOPE
ORDERS GIVEN FOR CRUfS.
Err DIVISION OF
BALTIC SEA SQUADRON
To Sail at Once For the
Far East.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-It was an,
nounced last night that orders had
been issued to the cruiser division OF
the Russian Baltic sea squadron to
sail for the far east. A portion OF
the fleet left Kronstadt at once, and
the remainder of the cruisers will
leave within "a or &c hours. The ex-
act route which the vessels will take
has not been made known but 1t is
believed they will go round the Cape
of Good Hope, coaling from colliers
which will meet them en- route.
The battleships of the squadron will
not sail for a fortnight or SO owing to
the necessity of completing repairs
to the Orel, which was damaged by
an accident several weeks ago.
According to a high official, the
ordering of the squadron today result
ed from the depleted state Of the
Russian navy, caused by the victories
of Admirals Togo and Kamimura. Had
the Port Arthur squadron been able
to force a passage through Togo's
feet and join the Vladivostok feet
there would have been no necessity
of haste in sending the Baltic fleet
to the seat of war. But, with the
Port Arthur fleet rendered practically
useless, and the Rurik sunk and the
remaining vessels of the Vladivostok
cruiser contingent laid up for repairs
the cars officials feel that no time
can be lost in hurrying the Baltic
warships to the front, to regain, |,
possible, supremacy of the Pacific, SO
effectually wrested from Russia's
hands.
AS to the route which the fleet viii,
take, nothing can be learned. The
natural course would be through the
Suez canal, but the same official al
ready quoted stated that for reasons
known to the navy department, it was
probable that the Cape of Good Hope
route would be chosen.
The Baltic fleet consists of eight
battleships. ten cruisers and 25 tor,
pedo boat destroyers.

WILLIAM M. POORMAN
Met Death By His Own Hand in NimiSi|Ia Park,
Where He Shot Himself On Monday
Evening With Revolver.
TEMPORARY ALTERATION OF MIND

With a fatal bullet in his brain,
William M. Poorman of 1922 Dunbar
street, an employe of the Diebold Safe
and Lock works, was found lying with
his back against a tree in Nimisilla
Park victim of his own hands.
About $50 last evening the report
of a revolver was heard by people
about the park and running to his as
sistance he was found by Phillip Min.
lch with the revolver lying across his
breast. A call was sent to the pol
station at Sd and the patrol wagon
with officers Schlemmer, Piero, Schis-
sler and Patrolman Reed responded,
taking the body to Shilling and Som
undertaking rooms. The remains were
later removed to Seesholtz's morgue.
The members of the family can give
but one reason for his committing
the deed. They say that a year ago
last September a valuable horse be-
longing to Mr.. Poorman was stolen
from his barn. He Immediately start

property of the Manhattan Supply

gated the history of the horse which
was being kept in the Miller-Blan,
chard livery barns and later Trustee
Clark told Poorman that the horse
had been bought from Ben Reed, a
local auctioneer who in turn had pur'
chased him of Shertzer and Fry. Mr.
Shertzer says the horse was bought
by his firm, in the first place, from an
Indianapolis horse dealing firm about
six months ago. But this did not al.

still positive that the horse was his

The last that was seen of Mr.. Poor.
man was at the Miller-Blanchard
barns Monday afternoon when he
went to look again at the horse and
make sure he had the right animal be-
fore he began proceedings in court
He still firmly believed the horse to
be his property. Employees of the
livery stable say he seemed to be
much worried while he was about the
barn.
In the Identification of the horse
not all of the family agreed. Mr.
Poorman stood alone in the belief
that he was claiming the right ami
NAL. Because of this fact he was
afraid that people would say he was
dishonest and tried to gain the horse
by other than honest means. He was
always known as an honest and rep
utable citizen and the thought that
his good name might be lost weighed
heavily upon his mind.
Monday morning he went to work
as usual but returned home shortly
after noon. When he reached the
house after his trip down town in the
afternoon no one was at home and he
went over to the park occupying one
of the benches in the central part
The first intimation of the deed was
the report of the pistol, as he had
never mentioned anything to the eff
feet that he would take his life. Since
his death friends are led to believe
that his mind was slightly affected
and this Is borne out by recalling sew
eral incidents which have occurred
recently.
He was so years old and was born
in Pike township. His first wife died
16 years ago and he has been married
to his present wife, Martha, for the
past 13 years. They have lived in
the same house since their marriage
in 1891. No children were born OF
this union but he is survived by two
sons. Horatio of North Industry and

still lives at the parental home. Other

A TEMPERANCE LAW
THAT is A HUMMER
Said to be In Pickle by the Anti Saloon League.
Radical Measure That Means Fight

Some of the plans of the Anti-Saloon
league for the next term of the legisla-
ture are developing, and one measure
that is contemplated will, it is said,
precipitate big fight, not only in the
legislature after 1t meets, but will en-
ter into the primary and general cleo
tions.
The scheme Is to raise the Dow, tax
to $500 and then make 1t condition
that In case any dealer violates the
Sunday closing law his license or right
to continue in business shall be re-
voked by the auditor and he shall be
forever debarred from entering into
business In the state. The reyoking OF
the license is to be made mandatory

upon the auditor upon conviction.
This is something after the plan of
the Pennsylvania law. with the differ
ence that over in that state the fee is
VI 900 and the license can be revoked
for any infractlon of the law.
Another provision of the proposed
ONO law is that there shall be no back
entrances; that the doors must be upon
public streets or alleys, and the liquor
must be drunk in the room where 1t la
drawn. This is aimed at the dance
halls, wine rooms and saloons that
serve liquors to restaurants or hotel
dining rooms
Should this issue come up at an cleo
ton 1t will precipitate the biggest fight
tnat has been on between the two ele-
ments for many years.
