MUCH INTEREST IN
 VOTE OF PRESBYTERY
Overture Proposes to Allow Negroes to Organize Separate Presbyteries
 Along Racial Lines.

Washington. April 7.-(Speclal. J-Great interest is taken in the Presbyterian cir cles of this city. eastern Virginia and Maryland in the meeting of the presby- tery which will convene next Monday. This will be the last meeting of the pres bytery before the national assembly con- venes in Winona. Ind.
 A warm debate is anticipated on the overture of separate presbyteries for the negroes and allowing their organization on racial lines The Rev. J. G. Grimke. the leading colored minister of the pres bytery. Is bitterly opposed to the over ture, as are all of the colored ministers of the Presbyterian church .l all the presbyteries. Although the overture is couched in general terms 1t is under stood to be aimed at the colored people, and to be intended to get 2 stumbling stone out of the way for union with the southern Presbyterian church. The Rev. B. F. Bittinger will earnestly advo- cate the adoption of the overture.
 As the overture has been adopted by the constitutional majority of the 225 presbyteries of the denomination, 1t will make little practical difference how this presbytery votes. except as to local in- fiuence.

JUDGE DUNNE IS
 REMARKABLE MAN
Congressman Hamilton Bays Experl. ment in Chicago Will Have
 National Influence.

Washington. April 7.-(Special )-Former Congressman James Hamilton of Chicago is in the city after whirl in tte campaign of Mayor-elect Dunne. Speaking of the election, he said:
 Tn regard to the result in Chicago as fraught with national possibilities, If the two years trial. previous to tie off-year elections, discloses a satifactory result of municipal ownership in c. great city, it will make for a national declaration of government ownership of railways. If the reverse it will quiet the issue of national ownership for the present generation.
 ''The victorious candidate. Judge Dunne, is an extraordinary man. an excellent jurist poet and a musician. He was educated in Europe after graduating from the public schools. office to him is only a laboratory for the proving of govern mental theories. In or out of office he is going to be a central figure among the foremost men of the nation"

TEXANS WILDLY CHEERED
 CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH
PRESIDENT MAY
 MEET THE INDIANS
MANY OF THOSE IN THE DISTRICT WHERE HE WILL HUNT ARE ACTING UGLY AND REFUSE TO LEAVE.

Hayden. Colo. April 7.-Indians in the White River country, where President Rooseevlt will hunt, are reported to be sullen and ugly because of the vain ef- forts of the game wardens to drive them back to the uintah reservation. This news was brought in by T. M. Wingrove and son, trappers. who have spent the entire winter in the White river region.
 The Apaches, the Wingroves say, are slaughtering deer ruthlessly, and pay no . attention to the perfunctory warnings of the game wardens, who have no means of enforcing their commands.
 President Roosevelt, if he makes an ex- tended stay, will hardly fail to encounter some of the bands of angry Indians. They have heard that the Great White Father is coming, and some of the red skins have announced their intention of holding a pow-pow with him.

 BLOW TO BEEF TRUST

 to MT. Swift.

Baker, auditor for the Boston Eles=.ed railroad, and for two years private secre- tary to Edward c. Swift, vice president of Swift x Co. MT. Baker was ques- tioned for nearly two hours and is said to have furnished great deal of infor- nation concerning the inner workings of the big meat Iacking firms.
 In answer to questions after leaving the jury room. MT. Baker declared he had told the truth, and that from the action of the jurors it was apparent to him that they had already decided on what action would be taken against the pack CTS. It was also consistently rumored about the federal offices where the jury is sitting that preparations are being made to return indictments within a short time, but whether the indictments will charge violation of the antitrust laws, perjury or interference with wit nesses could not be ascertained.
 T believe that the jurors have made up their minds in this matter said MT Baker after he left the jury room. They seem to thoroughly understand the situ- ation, and we got along finely together. I was not asked If any one had approach ed me or anything along that line. SO know what I was doing since I came to Chicago"
 "Did you tell anything that may injure the cause of the packers?' MT Baker was asked.
 "Yes, I think I did l told everything I knew and 1t was the truth. I testified for almost two hours"
 Did you present any documentary evil dence?" he was asked.
 "No, I did not was the reply, accom- panied by significant motion to his fore head to indicate that he had the entire matter well in mind.
 The jury adjourned tonight until Mon- day.

SOUTHERN IRON DEAL
 SUFFERS A BAD CHILL

N FEW YORK, April 7.-tSpecial. 1.-The
 M southern iron deal went into a state of very low temperature to- day. All of the principals who could be seen discussed the merger in most pessi- mistic way. Very few of them wanted to go on record that the deal would be con summated, although none cared to say positively that the trade is off.
 The latest trouble seems to be that the bankers who were going to finance the merger are getting cold feet on the cash end of the proposition and that they now want to buy the constituent com panies with the stock or bonds of a con- solidated company. Without exception this offer has been rejected. Owners Of the existing properties hold that the se- curities they now own possess a known and satisfactory value, whereas they might be getting gold bricked should they

LABOR MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
Question Arises as to Using Foreign
 CTS on Panama Canal.

Washington, April 7.-The former Pan- anna commission previous to the time 1t resigned was about to sign contract for 2000 Japanese laborers to work on the Isthmian canal. The contract provided for a work-day of ten hours, and quar- rel arose as to whether the government could employ laborers for more than eight hours in any calendar day. The subject was referred to the attorney gen eral for an opinion. This opinion has not yet been rendered, and the matter will again come up before the new com mission.
 A question also has been raised as to the right to import contract labor in the canal zone, but 1t Is held that the canal zone Is not like other territories in the United States. and. therefore, is not sub ject to the contract labor law.

 Down to within a day or two all talk has been upon a basis of cash. Conse- quently the shift from coin to securities has given the entire deal severe and possibly fatal chill. Messrs. Guthrie and Gates, on behalf of the Republic, Maben.

 Mir.

CHICAGO IN THROES
 OF ANOTHER STRIKE
TRANSFERS ARE AGAIN CALLED UPON TO BE THE DECIDING FAC TORS IN NEW LABOR UNION CONTENTION.

Chicago, April 7-chicago is again in the throes of battle between capital and labor unions. As on former occasions, the unions have resorted to the use of tle union teamsters to bring them victory in the struggle which tonight promises to spread to many branches of the teaming industry of the city.
 The present struggle had it's incep- ton in strike several months ago of few hundred garment workers, employed by the mail order house of Montgomery Ward x Co. The closed shop is the issue, and in order to bring the firm to the terms of the union, a strike of the POO drivers and teamsters employed by the concern was called today.
 As has always been the custom in the past when the teamsters are called to as- sist in strike of sympathy, the down town streets of Chicago today were the scenes of disorder which followed fast on each other when an attempt was made to deliver goods with non-union drivers. Many teamsters, garment workers and their friends filled the streets, and many clashes with the police occurred. In sev- eral instances 1t was necessary for the police to place a number of belliger- ents under arrest before the bloekaders could be lifted.
 Although the police worked incessant- ly all day to keep the streets clear in the vicinity of the Ward building, the crowd became so dense at one time during the day that all traffic was blockadeu. Forty policemen charged the crowd. using their clubs. The friends of the strikers were stubborn, however, and for several min utes resisted. The fight was tco one-sided, however, to last long, and the rioters were finally dispersed and during the remainder of the afternoon the streets about the building were kept clear.
 Various meetings looking toward peace were held today but no progress was made, and the indications tonight are that the strike will spread r. the other ooprorno
