REJECT WAGE SCALE
Men of Lake Harbors Vote On
Carriers Proposition.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May IA vote
was taken tonight by the different
harbors along the great lakes on the
proposition submitted to the masters
and pilots for this years terms Of en-
ployment. Nineteen out of twenty six
narDOrs whose reports have been re-
eelved, show an overwhelming vote in
favor of rejecting the proposition of
the vessel men, the vote in most in
stances being unanimous.
The result of vote indicates a
struggle between two great lake inter-
ests, which may mean idleness to other
classes ashore and on the water to the
number of 100000.
The Lake Carriers association has
offered to pay last years wages. This
is not satisfactory to the masters and
pilots because of the alleged difference
in wages that resulted from those
terms. 1t is claimed that similar boats
have paid their captains as much as
from 5000 to $500 more than others.
The masters and pilots want a uniform
scale.
President Livingstone of the Lake
Carriers association, has made the
statement that if the proposition of
that association is not accepted the as
ISOLATION will try to work the boats
without the union men,. The harbors
voting are stationed at the important
lake ports and extend from Ogdens-
burg, N. Y, to Duluth, MINI.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 1.-THE ex-
ecutive committees of the Lumber
Carriers association and of the long
shoremen closed their sessions here
this evening and adjusted all their diff
ferences amicably with the exception
of wages. The showers want 52H

question to an arbitration committee of
three, each side to chose member and
the two to select the third. There will
be no interruption to lake traffic on
account of the inability to agree upon
wages.

STORM STRIKES
BANKERS UNION
Police and Sheriff Do Business
With FraternaI Insurance
Order.

OMAHA, Neb., May 1.-THE annual
meeting of the supreme council of the
Bankers Union of the World. devel-
oped into a stormy session, during
which the police were called to restore
order, and the sheriff served an In
junction on DR.. E. c. Spinney, re-
straining him from transacting bust
ness. After the reading of the report
of President Spinney. Supreme Bank
er SWartZ denounced Spinney and his
method of conducting the business of
the order. Several delegates declared
Swartz was out of order. DR.. Spinney,
who presided, called upon the police
to eject Swartz, but the latter sat down
and avoided trouble.
AT this juncture, and just as Chair
man Spinney called for nominations
for president, the sheriff appeared and
served an injunction on Spinney and a
number of associates, who were re-
strained from taking further action in
the election of officers and from the
voting of proxies. DR.. Spinney at once
appointed Ezra Howard chairman, and
himself retired to a seat with the dele
gates. Howard continued the session,
proceeding at once with the election.
It resulted:
E. c. Spinney, Omaha, president; A.
w. Field, Lincoln, vice president; E.
H. Drake, Lu Verne, Mimi, supreme
secretary; Ezra Howard, Edgar, Neb..
supreme banker; D. Fensch, Omaha,
supreme physician; Miss M. Murdoch,
Omaha, supreme correspondent; DR..
A. M. Laird, Kansas City. supreme
guard; A. Savilla, Glen Carbon, Ill,
supreme sentinel.
Attorneys have been retained by the
Swartz faction, who declare they will
fight the matter out in the courts. The
injunction against Spinney will come
up for hearing Thursday.
There has been considerable opposi-
ton to Spinney by many, who allege
his management was responsible for
the recent application of the state au-
ditor to the supreme court for a re-
ceiver, at which time the sheriff was
placed in charge of the orders af-
fairs. This opposition was headed by
Swartz, who secured the injunction on
the ground that Spinney was not prop
erly conducting affairs and that he
had arranged for Omaha men to vote
proxies of South Carolina lodges. The
Bankers union is a fraternal' order,
doing business in thirty states.

SHERIFF WILL SEND
OUT VANS AGAIN

delinquent in the payment of their
whom judgments have been rendered
in the district court, and of this num-
Der larger percentage paid last year
than had ever done so before in the
history of the county. 1t was a rich
harvest for the sheriff, and while but
little work was ever accomplished by
the van crusade, it served as a means
for soaring the delinquents in with the
cash, which was the primary object of
the plan.
Conditions a year ago, however, were
very much different from those Of this
year, for at that time Sheriff Justus is
said to have had no intention of being
candidate for a third term for the
Office of sheriff, and was in a position
where he could afford to offend few
score taxpayers so long as 1t placed
money in his own pocket. In the
meantime the sheriff has decided to
make the race again, and it is pointed
out that 1t would be bad politics for
him to start van crusade when he
will need all the support possible, and
for this reason his threat to renew the
collection of delinquent personal prop
erty taxes by the van method is con-
sidered largely a bluff, and so far as
having the effect of soaring the de-
linQuents into paying up again, is ex-
peoted to be something of a failure.
Under the law, the sheriff has a
right to seize personal property where
the owner is delinquent in his taxes,
and the prospect of having a large tax
van, followed by a curious mob, back
ed up to ones home or place Of busi-
ness to cart away whatever the depu-
ties might lay their hands on, was not
a welcome one to those who had
neglected to settle at the proper tine.
Must Show the People.
Should the crusade be made again
this year, and carried past the farcical
stage which bound 1t last year, there
is no doubt it would yield large re-.
turns, but until the people see that
Sheriff Justus is in earnest, it is high
ly improbable that any extra force Of
deputies will be required to care for
the rush of the delinquents.
However, Sheriff Justus stands pat
on the proposition that he will send
the vans out this summer, and Deputy
Sheriff Reichow, also a candidate for
sheriff this fall. is now wondering If
Mr.. Justus will try and dispose of his
candidacy by placing him in charge Of
the unpopular expedition.
The collection Of delinquent personal
property taxes had its origin In
Omaha, where it has been conducted in
a most successful manner for a num-
Der of years. 1t was tried here for the
first time last summer, but the trial
was merely a bluff, less than half a
dozen delinQuents being paid visit by
the big wagons.

BRAVE PRIESTS STORY.

LAO YANG, May 11.-Among the
wounded from the battle of the Yalu
who arrived here today was Father
Stephen Tcherbackoffsky the priest
who led the charge of the Eleventh
regiment at the battle of XIII Lien
Cheng. Father Stephen said:
"On the morning of the 1st Of May
I arose at o'clock, knowing that there
would be a terrible battle, and was
determined to do my duty and to show
an example by my death. At o'clock
l prayed, then laid down my Bible and
stood with the company. AS the COM
pany moved forward to the charge l
blessed the soldiers and went in front
of the flag with my cross in my hand,
Joseph Perch. Bullets were flying all
around us.
81 never felt my first wound. The
second bullet struck my shoulder and
1 fell, losing consciousness. When
opened my eyes found my assistant
bending over me with smile on his
face. Seeing that I was alive he
clutched my hand and then took me off
the field of battle. If ever there was a
hero, Joseph Perch is one"
