SAVED MANY LIVES.
Captain of Transfer Boat Shows Re-
markable Presence of Mind.

New York, Aug. 20.-A hundred
passengers on the ferry boat South
Side, plying in the East river between
Tenth street and Green Point have
been saved from possible death by
quick action on the part of the cap
tain of a New Haven railway transfer
boat.
The ferry boat was so yards out in
the stream, making for the slip at the
foot of Tenth street when she was
rammed by the big float carrying Is
freight cars. The floats PROV pene-
trated nearly to the center of the ferry
boat on the side of the ladies' cabin.
The passengers fed, the women in
the cabin having been cut and bruised
by flying glass and splinters. The
captain of the transfer boat realized
that if he backed off the ferry boat
would float helplessly away and sink.
Whistling for help he ordered on all
pressure, pushed the helpless ferry
boat toward the docks and succeeded
in showing it against one near the slip
where the passengers quickly scram-
bled through the windows and over
piles of freight to the street. A few
minutes later the South Side settled
to the bottom. Darkness and storm
together with a misunderstanding of
signals probably caused the accident.

ARE STRIKERS RESPONSIBLE?
Santa Fe Engine Is Tempered With al
Arkansas City.

Enporia, Kan, Aug. 20.-When Santa
F'e Engineer Morris Jones and Fireman
KowalSki, of Emporia, started on the
return trip yesterday, they found that
the engine which was set out for them
to make the run with, had evidently
been tampered with and some large
hexagon bolts had been inserted in the
guides of the engine so as to interfere
with it's working. The engine had been
run only a short way when it was no
ticed that something interfered with
the machinery. Had this not been OBJ
served before the engine started out,
it might have resulted in a serious ac-
cident. AS it was, the side of the en-
gine was considerably torn up and had
to be taken back to the shops, but
neither the engineer nor fireman was
hurt.
The location of the bolts in the en-
gine looks as though they had been
placed there by some one that had a
grudge against the company SINH
at Newton last week, and theI engine
was badly damaged. Why any one
should hope to get even with the com
pany by putting the engine in a condi-
ton that is liable to cost the lives of
the .enginemen, is hard to understand.
1t means little damage to the company.
At Arkansas City six guards are kept
on duty about the roundhouse to pre-
vent tampering with railroad property.
The engine on which Engineer Jones
and Fireman Kowa1ski started had
been in the shops for several weeks,
and it is possible that the bolts might
have found their way into the mechan-
ism of the engine accidentally, but the
critical position of the bolts gave the
impression that the engine had been
tampered with, with malicious inten-
tiOnS.

BIG PICNIC is OFF.
Butchers and Grocerss Won't Go on
Their Outing.

The Grocers and Butchers picnic,
which was to have been held at Eu-
reka Lake on August "a, has been
called off, owing to the fact that the
Union Pacific railroad on Thursday
announced that it would be unable to
furnish more than ten or twelve
coaches on that date. while at least
thirty would have been needed.
The Grocers' associa ton held a
meeting last night and decided on a
postponement of the picnic, until some
date close to September 1. Definite
arrangements will be made with the
railroad to have cars ready at that
time. A special fare of 81 for the
round trip will be charged.
1t was also decided to refund the
money to all persons who have already
bought tickets to make the trip. Sec
retary Hutchinson has charge of that.

UNCONDITIONAL
SURRENDER.
Only Terms Which Strikers
Will Now Consider.
Donnelly Has a Trump Card
Which He Will Play.
MAYOR TAKES A HAND.
Packers Ordered House Strike
Breakers Outside of Yards.
A Meeting at Swifts to Discuss
the Situation.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-'T see no peace
in sight except on condition that the
packers surrender and on uncondi-
tionaI terms. When the people see
the report of last nights meeting of
the Chicago Federation of Labor they
will be astounded. We have a trump
card to play and IT has been drawn
from the deck So said President
Donnelly of the striking cattle butch
ers today while he was directing his
assistants to go to st. Louis to meet
International Vice President Casse
Schmidt whom Donnelly will send to
Kansas City to look after the labor
situation there. He declared the ac-
ton of Mayor Harrison in ousting the
strike breakers from the housing
rooms in the packing plants meant
quicker success to the strikers
Not since the strike began has Pres
ident Donnelly seemed so hopeful. He
criticised the action of the teamsters
in sending a committee into the yards
to make an investigation.
ST don't see what the teamsters ex-
pected to do" he said IF they don't
like this strike let them go back to
work"
On the subject of action by the Fed
Grafton of Labor Donnelly was silent
He simply declared the report would
prove sensation.
"a national election is coming on
said President Donnelly. The labor
vote is too powerful to be ignored. As
soon as L have seen Schmidt in Kan
sas City, 1 shall go to Indianapolis
While / am away / expect to make
several speeches"
1.-The mayors action in declaring the
packers shall no longer house their
strike breakers is the hardest blow our
foe has yet received said President
Donnelly. The packers will have no.
trouble gettinge the breakers out Of the
plants and out of the yards. We will
help them do that If they need any
help and will see that the outgoing
crowds are not nurt. But as sure as
the sun rises the strike breakers will
not be able to get back to their places
of work"
Packers affected by Corporation
Counsel Tolman's opinion holding that
thousands of employees lodged at the
stock yards must find accommodations
elsewhere caused meeting today at
Swift & Co.'S office to determine what
action to take. 1t was limited before
the meeting that attempts to abolish
plants would be contested, recourse
being had to the courts II necessary
The packers declared informally be-
fore canvassing the situation that they
would contend Major Tolman is mis-
taken in the premises and that the
temporary placing of beds in the
plants does not change the character
of the buildings any more than the kill
ing of a chicken in a private home
would cause evolution of residence
to a slaughter house

Kelly of San Francisco, here in the
fourth round of what was to have been

punished in the first round. He receiv-
