Big Strike Impending.

New York.-The executive commit
tee of the Garment Workers Of Amer
ca met and ordered strike to go in
to effect Monday Of the 100000 gar
ment workers in the United States, af-
fecting indirectly 100000 workers, Of
whom there are $4,000 in New York.
When the employers heard Of the ac-
ton they induced the union leaders to
rescind the order and to grant confer
ences that will be held this week. The
workers have resolved to strike May
l if the differences are not settled.
The action was taken because the Ma

decided at Philadelphia recently to
adopt the "open shop" and to or
ganize national labor bureau" to
supply employers with non-union en-
ployees.

SENATOR'S SALOON ROBBED.
Bold Work Of Highwaymen Operating
in Chicago.

Chicago-State Senator, Michael j.
Butler, with his bartender and two
friends, have fallen victims to a lone
highwayman, who left the senator's
saloon with 5000 in cash and jewelry
valued at $500.
The robber, apparently % years old
and unmasked, walked in while the
bartender, Albert Marley, was count
ing the days receipts, most of the
money being on the bar. The intruder
ordered drink, and when Marley
placed the glass on the bar the man
suddenly drew two revolvers and cried
"hands up"
Senator Butler and the two men
with whom he was conversing were in
front of the bar, and all obeyed the
robbers commands. The bartender
was ordered from behind the bar and
all were told to stand against the wall.
The robber then took the money the
bartender had been counting, looked
IN the cash register for more, and
searched the men, securing diamond
ring and diamond stick pin, and es-
capped.

PHYSICIANS INFECTED.

New York.-Several physicians at
Bellevue Hospital have suddenly con-
tracted tuberculosis from association
with patient in the institution. House
Surgeon Robert S. Mcdonald is the
most seriously affected, and his death
is hourly expected. According to the
hospital authorities members Of the
staff have been greatly run down by
overwork, and thus became peculiarly
susceptible to disease. Negligence on
the part Of tuberculosis patients, they
say, is the direct cause. Persons in
that ward should, under regulations,
|expectorate in receptacles provided
for such use, but the doctor says
whenever an attendants back is turn
ed they spit on the floor, and thus
generate germs which are certain to
spread the disease if inhaled by per-
sons in the least run down physically.

MISSISSIPPI
HAPPENINGS
INTEREST cENTERMa IN TIE
APPOINTMENT or
TWO NEW CHANCFLLORS
Soon to be Named by Governor Var
characterization in the Public
Mind as to the Provision Of the New
Chancery Redistricting Bill.

The public mind has been generally
confused for some time regarding the
new chancery court district created by
the legislature, and the appointment
OF a chancellor therefor to be made by
the Governor. An examination Of the
legislative act shows that is was pass
ed on the 10Th of March with pro-
vision that it should 60 into effect
ninety days from date. It will there
fore not become operative until the
18th Of June. In redfstricting the
ehancery court districts Of the state
the legislature changed the numerical
order in somewhat radical manner.
The old second district was formerly
composed Of the counties in the gulf
coast section, but the coast counties
under the new law are now in the
eighth district. The second and eighth
districts, as arranged by the legisla-
ture, as follows: Second Lauder
dale, Newton, Scott, Rankin, Smith,
Jasper, Simpson and Jones. Eighth
distrlet-Hancock, Harrison, Jackson,
Wayne, Green, Perry, Marion, Gov
ington and Pearl River. Chancellor
Deavours, who presides Ger the old
second district, lives in Jones county,
and he has formally announced as a
candidate for Congress, which means
that his resignation will be rendered
as soon as congress adjourns and his
opponent, Hon. E. j. Bowers, returns
home. Capt. j. L. McCaskill, who
heretofore has been regarded as the
probable successor Of Chancellor Dea-
YOURS, cannot possibly be appointed
to the new eighth district, as he lives
in Rankin county, which is in the new
second district. 1t therefore appears
that when Chancellor Deavours re-
signs and the new chancery redistrict-
ing bill goes into effect, the governor
will be called upon to appoint two new
chancellors, instead Of one, as has
been heretofore believed. Thus far a
comparatively small number of appli-
cants are in the. field, especially from
the gulf coast section.
