DAY IS TOO LONG.
Employees of a Colorado Smeltcr strike
for Hours.

LeadvfIle. Col, April 20.-Armed
deputies in charge of Sheriff ONO
honey succeeded in maintaining quiet
at the Arkansas Valley plant of the
American Smelling and Refining com
pany here, where 10 weighers and
wheelers went on a strike for shorter
hours and succeeded in keeping nearly
500 employees from working. The fires
of eight furnaces have been drawn and
the other two are banked. The mines
in the district have been ordered to
cease shipping to the smelter until
further notice. No disorder is looked
for and a settlement is expected with
in a few days.
The wheelers struck when the
smelter put into effect the recent eight
hour law which does not include them.
They demanded the same hours as the
other workmen which was refused by
the management. This morning when
the other employees came to work the
strikers stood at the gates and pre-
vented them from entering. Deputies
were sent for and dispersed the gath
erings without disorder. Four arrests
were made by the deputies. The
strikers are all foreigners. some of
whom belong to unions, but there is
no local organization. Although the
management and the sheriff have
guaranteed protection to all who will
return to work, many of the men APP
pear to be afraid to do so and less
than 100 men went on with the night
shift. sass -as s-
The weighers and BEheeIers who are
on strike are receiving $2.75 for IL
hours work but declare they will
take d reduction if they are guaranteed
eight hours with the rest of the en-
ployes The furnace feeders profess
to be satisfied with the terms offered
them and it is believed that a settle-
ment can be arranged with the strik-
ers soon.
The smelter handles monthly about
&C, 900 tons of ore.

Baldwin, Kan, April 20.-Perhaps
the most startling and significant in
cident which has occurred in college
politics within the last II years. is the
decision of the Biblical Literary So
ciety to cut OUT the anti-fraternitv
clause from its constitution.
The enrolment of the university has
increased SO rapidly during the last
few years that it has become necessary
to organize new literary society in
order that the great number of young
men may all have the opportunity of
receiving the superior training offered
in Bakers literary societies. The new
society is composed of p members
from each of the other old societies,
and is named Promethean.
The Baker university chorus of so
voices, under the direction of Prof. R.
G. McCutcheon, rendered April 10.
the cantata Rose Maiden" This is
the cantata composed by Frederick
COwen and translated from the Ger
man by r. W. FrancillOn. The giving
of this cantata is a great big adver-
tisement for Baker, for Prof. Nc
Cutcheon and the vocal departing nt.
Prof. McCutcheon has certainly been
untiring in his efforts and the success
Of his department has been most
gratifying.

MILLION FAILED TO sWERVEHISi
President Ramsey of Wabash VIII
Retire

New York, April 20-The long stand
ing friction between Joseph Ramsey,
president of the Wabash railway sys-
TEN, and George J. Gould, head Of ali
The Gould roads, has resulted at last in
Mr. Ramsey's retirement. His resigna-
ticfi as president of the Wabash Pitts
burg Terminal company was accepted
at a meeting of Wabash directors in
this city, and F. A Delano, formerly
general manager of the Burlington line
east of the Missouri river, was elected
to succeed him. October 1, it is un-
derStOod, IS the date agreed upon for
Mr. Ramsey's final formal retirement
as the president of the Wabash sys-
tenn and his severance of all cOnnec-
tons with the road. He will then &c
on a six months tour of Europe.
AS early as last January Mr. Ram
sey wanted to resign the presidency Of
the Wabash, but Mr.. Gould persuaded
him to defer action. Since then furth-
er friction between the two men
brought matters to a crisis resulting in
the action taken today.
Mr.. Ramsey had been president OF
the Wabash since 1895 and has accom-
DiiShed wonders in the DEVELOPMENT OF
the property. The plan to enter Pitts
burg and share in the enormous ton
mage Of that city was originated and
executed by him. The offer of l mill
lion dollars from the Pennsylvania rail-
road did not avail to swerve him from
his purpose and in the face of enormous
difficulties he put the Wabash into
Pittsburg."
Securities issued to cover the cost Of
his undertaking resulted in differences
between Gould and Ramsey and his
friends claim that while he saved the
Wabash enormous sums by his 1lnan-
ciering Of this deal, he has been ham
pered and restricted IN his management
of the Wabash terminal properties
ever since.
This is Mr.. Ramsey's first step tow
ard final retirement from the Wabash
system, and it is probable Mr.. DelanO,
who succeeds him as president Of the
Wabash Pittsburg Terminal company,
will also become the president of the
Wabash railway system.
Joseph Ramsey is A widely known
railway man. He was born at Pitts
burg April II, 1850, was educated in the
Western University Of Pennsylvania
and began life as civil engineer He
has been president and general mana
ger of various railways and is a mem
Der of the directory Of the American
Society of Civil Engineers.
Mr. Delano began his railway career
in 1885 as an apprentice in the machine
shop at Aurora at five cents an hour,
and has been constantly in the service
for Is years, rising IN the shop service
and motive power department to be
superintendent OF motive power and
general manager Of the Chicago, Bur-
Iincton & Quincy. He left that road in
January of this year.

Acetylene Plant Lighting the
House, in a Cave.
HAD SPRUNG A LEAK.
Explosion Hurled Her Seventy
Feet Against a Tree.
Little Girl With Her Will Lose
Her Eyesight.

Clifton, Kas.. April 2O.-AIrs. Ches-
ter E. Schiller, of this city. met with
a horrible accident, the result of a
gas explosion. The house is lighted
with acetylene gas. which for some
unknown cause was acting in a pc.
Culiar manner. The plant was kept
in a cave a few feet from the house
and she started out to see what the
matter was, taking with her a little
girl. Miss Sylvia Campbell, who stays
with her. 1t was after s o'clock and
pretty dark, so Mrs Schiller took a
lighted lantern with her She started
down the steps, the little girl remain
ing at the top of the stairway. Just
as she had reached the last step and
opened the door, the gas, which had
been escaping from a leak in a pipe
exploded, blowing Mrs. Schuler sew
enty feet south of the cellar, when she
struck a tree and fell to the ground.
When she was picked up she was in
conscious condition, but both legs
were broken and her body and face
were terribly burned. She is still liv-
ing and is suffering intense pain, but
all hopes of her recovery have been
given up.
Miss Campbell was severely burned
about the face and will probably lose
the sight of one eye.
The force of the explosion was so
great that the windows of the neigh
boring houses and those of the high
school, which is over half a block
away, were nearly all broken Some
of Mrs. Schuler's clothing was found
high up in the tree near the place
where the accident occurred. The

recently protested at this manifest IN

When they have reached this amount
they are to lay off and give way for the

be enabled to make something during

concluded to visit Toxic while his ship,
the Manchuria, on which he will make
