STRIKE AS PLOT
TO RAISE PRICES
Meat Trust Said to Have Forced
Labor War That Public May
Be Squeezed.
New York Sun Special Service

b. Is,
Philadelphia, July 28.-A local
learning exact conditions, sent to Chi
cago to his commission man and from
him obtained today a report. He says
a perfect understanding exists be-
tween ranchers, commission men,
feeders and the trust houses in the
west. Because of this, ranchers are
not bringing range cattle to market,
and commission men are instructing
feeders to hold back the prime cattle.
AS a consequence the supply Of both
grades is kept below the demand and
prices are kept up.
The trusts control of the commits
sion men is explained when it is
known that 80 per cent of all the
cattle that come into the great mar
kets of the west is bought from the
commission men by the trust. In
most cases, indeed, commission men
who are supposed to be acting indie
pendently are secretly salaried by the
trust.
It is the belief of the man who made
the report that the strike and it's re-
newal was planned deliberately by the
trust to continue the abnormally high
prices which were inaugurated when
the trust cornered distillery-fed cattle
two months ago.
Manipulation Of the livestock mar
ket by the trust Is so evident" he
said, that most men In the financial
circles Of Chicago are satisfied thai
every move in this situation has beer
deliberately planned to stiffen prices
The Philadelphia wholesaler tC
whom the report was made, predicts
an increase in the price Of all meats
for next Monday.
I'VE are finding it hard to get cattle
at reasonable prices he said, "anc
the difficulty will increase"

FRENCH PUBLIC
NOW WITH POPE
Surrender Of Bishop Nordez Car
ries sympathies of People
... to Vatican.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun special Service.
Rome, July 2S.-The step suddenly
taken by Bishop de Nordez in going
to Rome, Notwithstanding the action
of the French government in backing
him against the Vatican, entirely
changes the position of the Vatican
in It's contention with the French gov
eminent.
1t was hoped by Premier Combes
and his fellow ministers that the
French bishops would be the govern
ment's allies in its war with Rome,
but the bishop most threatened by
Roman censures and deeply concerned
In proposed disciplinary measures,
has now surrendered to the Vatican,
and many others no doubt Will follow.
Bishop de Nordez will find a very
warm welcome at the Vatican, where
he will be forgiven and probably. be
honored in addition.
The matter is now one for the
French officials to settle. Will a con-
tinuation Of the war with the Vati-
can authorities now be as popular in
France as it has been? is the ques-
ton with them. Public opinion in
France will hereafter be with the Vat
lean, and the other bishops will sub
NIT to the ecclesiastical authorities
Therefore the action Of Bishop de
Nordez can be considered a great VIC
tory for the Vatican.

REPUBLICANS TO
MAKE GOLD ISSUE
Money Question to Be Put to the
Fore by President and
Workers. .
New York Sun Special Service.

Oyster Bay, July 2S.-The presi-
dent and his advisers have determined
to force the financial question to the
front as the main issue in this cam
paign.s
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech, according to
such eminent republicans as Speaker
Cannon, clearly indicated this. The
president and Speaker Cannon both
referred to the fact that the demo-
cratic national convention had failed
to make any specific declaration for
the gold standard in the platform.
The republican leaders will create a
doubt in the minds Of the business
men Of the country regarding the po-
sition Of the democrats on finance.
Speaker Cannon's and the presi-
dents speeches Of yesterday are to
! be made the keynotes of the cam
paign. Both the president and Mr..
Cannon belittled the telegram sent
the democratic national convention
by Judge Parker.
Chairman Cortelyou of the repub-
lican national committee left Oyster
Bay today for New York and will give
instructions to all republican work
ers to talk Sound money.

New York sun4special Service. Pr.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 28.-The ex-
pected meeting of the state concilia-
ton board was not called yesterday
and the mine workers situation there
by becomes more critical than ever
The members of the board, it is said
see no reason for holding a meeting
as they have assumed an unalterable
attitude in demanding that Umpire
Wright reconsider his decision in the
check weighman grievance.
A leader Of the mine workers says
that in view Of this the situation is
very serious, and that a strike OF
$4,000 workers may be precipitated
at any moment.
The executive board representing
the miners Of this district has been
given authority to order a strike at
all the collieries where the award on
the check weighman is not enforced,
and is merely delaying action In the
hope that the operators will recede
from the position they have taken.
The operators say there is no state
ment to be made regarding their po-
sition. They declare it is unchanged.

SAYS SPIRITS KNEW
SAFES COMBINATION
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, July s2s.-After resist
ing the skill Of two experts connected
with the treasury department, a small
safe belonging to Colonel j. Eldridge
Smith, an inventor, who died recent
ly, has been opened, and now the
only question is whether it opened
in answer to Mrs. Smiths prayer or
thru information coming direct from
Colonel Smith to S. Clark SWEET, a
spiritualistic medium. Mrs. Smith
scouts the idea of spiritualism, but
Mr.. SWEET, under WHOSE manipulations
the safe door swung open, says it was
nothing else.
The little safe contained all the
valuable papers belonging to Colonel
Smith, and he was the only one who
knew the combination. Experts gave
it up as a bad job. Then Mr.. SWEET
said he would try. SWEET says he
has been spiritualist for forty years
and has about twenty-five spirit
guides" One of the guides, he says,
is an Indian girl, and she is the one,
he states, who saw Colonel Smith in
the other world and got from him
the combination and transmitted it,
thus enabling the safe to be opened.

PARKER SCORNS
PATRONAGE DEALS
At Least a Close Friend Says the

Discussion.

Esopus, N. Y, July 2S.-The visit to

in democratic politics, including mem
bers Of the national committee, officials
of Tammany hall and leaders known
turnout the country, was a source of
qualification to Judge Parker and at
the same time some dissatisfaction be-
cause Of the political gossip result
ing.
A close friend Of Judge Parker said
today. that the judge thinks It undig-
ni1ed for candidate for the presi-
dency to engage in deals for the con-
troll of petty offices and that he has
not entered nor will he enter upon
such discussions.
That Judge Parker is interested in
everything that might affect the cleo
tons in New York state is not denied,
but he has exhibited the same interest
regarding internal affairs Of other
states.

Washington, July 2s.-Colombia
has not been represented diplomat
cally at Washington for more than a
year. Minister Concha, who took up
the original canal negotiations, was
forced to retire from Washington be-
cause of his demands for personal
consideration as a prerequisite to any
treaty. He was practically driven
out Of Washington and is still marked
''absent" on the diplomatic list. DIR.
Herran, secretary of the legation,
concluded the canal treaty. which the
congress of Colombia repudiated.
Then came the revolution of Nov.
8 by which Panama got it's indie
pendence. Even DR.. Herran retired
from business then and since then
Colombia has not been regularly rep
resented in this country, altho Minis
ter Concha has never presented his
recall.
Furthermore, there is no real treaty
between the United States and Colon
bia. The treaty was made with New
Granada in 1916 and Colombia fell
heir to it. With the isthmus cut out
Of it the treaty Of 1876 amounts to
little or nothing.
