The President and Strikes.

4 President Shafter, Of the Ainalgamated
Iron and steel Workers, went to WASH
ington yesterday to Interview President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Skaters mission, we are
told, is to enlist the Influence OF tho
President in the settlement OF the iron
and steel strike now in progress IN
youngstown and Girard, O. FIe Will pro-
pose that the President suggest to the
United States Steel Corporation that the
differences between the company and the
strikers be submitted to arbitration.
The ghost OF the anthracite coal strike
il continually arising to haunt and tor
ment President Roosevelt. In under
taking to settle that strike he set pre-
cedent, and it is natural that strikers
should continue to come to him and re-
quest his friendly offices in settling dis
putes between themselves and their enl-
ployers. It Will be hard for him to give
a satisfactory explanation why he inter-
rered in one strike and why he will not
Interfere In others.

Wife KILLER
FLED TO
WOODS

Wentworth. n. IL. Sept. 3o-The body
Of Mrs Henry wilkinson was found In
bed early today, with the skull crushed.
and the authorities, assisted by large
posse Of citizens are searching the woods
for her husband who Ia charged with
having murdered her.
The first intmation that there had been
a tragedy in this village came when the
eight-year-old son OF the Wilkinsons
awakened the nearest neighbor, Samuel
Kenney IN the early hours OF the morning
and told him that his father had sent for
Mr. Kenney to come TO the house as the
boys mother was Ill.
Mr. Kenrey accompanied the child
home and found Mrs. Wilkinson lying
dead In bed, while Henry Wilkinson had
disappeared. Deputy sheriff Brown OF
Plymouth was notified as soon as possible
and took charge OF the case.
IL was learned that wilkinson had
taken with him his rife and his razor
ana he was traced as far as the edge Of
the woods nearby. There however. the
trail ended and men sent I'm all directions
in the hope OF finding the man before he
had gone far away. No cause for the act
Is known.
wilkinson Is a laborer. about IS years
old and his wife. who was about the
same age. Is said 10 have been very pop
ular In the town. They had two children
a boy. eight years old and a baby girl q
year and a half old The theory held by
the villagers Is that Wilkinson committed
the crime during an attack OF insanity.

1t consisted OF a mass weighing about
five pounds.
Its component parts were tar axle
grease. pitch, turpentine and other sub
stances. the exact nature OF which could
not be readily determined.
The package was wrapped up In piece
OF newspaper. one end OF which was left
free.
A sample OF the compound was placed
upon piece OF paper and a match ap-
piled to It,
The stun burned rapidly and furiously
and as the heat softened II down II ran
before the flame, covering large sur
face.
So fierce did the compound burn that
wind would not blow IL out and water
seemed 70 have little effect upon It.
A coincidence is that at IL o'clock last
night a man giving the name OF James
| Powers was arrested near that same
| building
He was taken in ,as a suspicious char
| acter and held to await the action or
| the detective department.
or course there was nothing known al
that time which could have connected

II is another coincidence that Powers
wore a gray suit and gray cap.
