prepared to report, and as j. ]. Kane,
CO East. ST. Louis, who was to read
the report. came upon the rostrum a
line of police officers marched in and
suggestively formed a long line in

turned and confronted the delegates.

Cleveland, O., June 15.-After six
weeks of tie-up on the great lakes
that has directly involved only a couple
of thousand men, hut indirectly more
than 100000, who have been idle be-
cause of its existence, a cessation has
been bought to the strike by the sur
render OF the masters, who, with the
pilots, have been holding out for
more uniform scale of wages this sea-
son than was offered by the Lake Car
riers association, whose boats were
most affected by the difficulty between
the vessel owners and their employees.
Howell Makes Statement
The strike was declared off by Paul
Howell, district captain of the Mas
ters' and Pilots association, who gave
out the following statement: THE
Masters and Pilots association has
concluded that it would be good policy
at this stage of the game, owing to ex-
listing conditions over which we have
no control. to advise our captains to
go to work and make the most of a
bad situation. Our mates will meet at
the earliest possible opportunity and
make arrangements along the line of
their own ideas and present them to
the Lake Carriers association for ac-
ceptance. In the meantime the mates
will remain where they are until this
arrangement is made and agreed upon
by the two associations"
Looks Rosy for Business Now.
1t is understood that the Lake Car
riers' association will soon come to
an agreement with the mates, and
that the full feet of the Lake Car
riers' association will be gotten under
way within very few days. The
Lake Carriers association was willing
to pay last years scale of wages, but
this was not agreeable to the masters
and pilots because of alleged great
difference in the wages. of men doing
exactly similar work.. The strike has
been one of the most costly in wages
and time lost and stagnation to busi-
ness that has occurred in recent years.

New Theory at Bedford That
Agrees with the Anonymous
Letters Story.
EXPLAINS ABSENCE OF oUTcaY
When Miss Schafer Was Murdered
Hundreds Hunt i'm Vain for the
Lost Seelyville Boy.

Bedford, Ind, June IA. : A new
theory is being advanced by Attorney
r. N. Palmer in the Sarah G.. Schafer
murder mystery. 1t is that she was
slain by two men. According to his
opinion the man who is generally sus-
pected of the murder and an accessory
committed the crime. the accessory
having done the real work. The identi-
ty of the second man is not revealed
for the reason that all witnesses be-
fore grand jury, including Palmer, are
under oath of secrecy. He is believed
to be a Bedford man of social posi-
tion. Palmer said: 1T is likely that
the persons interested in the present
investigation would never have got on
the right track as only one person was
thought to be involved in the crime.
But secret between two persons Is
no secret"
Explains the Lack of Outcry.
Palmer advances the theory of two
men to explain why no Outcry was
heard from Miss Schafer. He asserts
that one man could not have dragged
her down the alley to the cabshed,
where her body was found, and at the
same time prevented her screaming,
but that two men could have accom-
plished this with ease Il have al
ways believed in the axiom that muir
der will out, and that the outcome
of this murder will prove it," said
Attorney Palmer. He said that the in
vestigators were impressed on the be-
ginning of the work of collecting evi-
dence by the opinion of DR.. G. III.
Emery, a Bedford physician, who
thought that all the wounds on the
school teachers head hae not been
made by the same instrument.
New Evidence Is Discovered.
1t is further asserted that the in
vestigators are I'm possession of evil
dence which shows that the girls slay-
ers went to the cabshed q second time,
this visit being to make sure that the
wounds inflicted were fatal. This sec
ond visit is thought to have been sew
eral hours after the murder. That
both men went in a buggy and were
seen to stop at the mouth of the alley
by a man living in the neighborhood
is said also to be established. Accord
ing to Palmer, the second visit was
made that the girls clothing might be
disarranged in order to make it ap-
pear that a wanton attack had been
made upon her.
