Chicago, June S.-Mrs. Sue M. Simu- son, accused of treason by Mrs. Bret til, president of the Women's Interna- tional Label league. was expelled from the organization to-day by a secret vote of 29 to 31. This action followed one of the most spirited sessions ever witness ed in Hull house, where the meeting was held. Mrs. Simpson, after the vote was taken, said that she would carry the case to the federal courts to get justice. Tt was gravel rule, and a terrible injustice was done me- she said.

YALE CREW,s QUIcK YORK.
Covers Four Mile Course on Thames in
 20:4O 2-5.

Gales Ferry, Conn, June Showing under almost perfect weather conditions the Yale crew covered the four mile course on the Thames river tonight in 20:40 2-5 and Coach Kennedy evidently was greatly pleased by the work of the oarsmen whose first long row 1t was since they arrived here yesterday. The men rowed over the regulation course down stream. finishing at the bridge and were followed by Coach Kennedy and a few substitutes in the launch which arrived here from New Haven late in the afternoon. Daiy's forced ab- sence from the boat gave Ortmeyer a chance to show his worth and he rowed strongly. The shell went smoothly over the river. the oarsmen showing almost finished form. They were in good con- dition at the end of the four miles.
 The freshman eight went down the river mile and a half with the varsi- ty and then gave it up, rowing back to their quarters. Neither the varsity nor freshman crew was on the river this morning, but the members of the four cared crew padled about.

WIRELESS FOR TRAINS.
Chicago & Alton to Install system on
 Expresses.

 Chicago, June S.---As a further pro- lection to their train service, the Chi cago and Alton railway announced to- day that the company had made all ar engagements for the establishment of a wireless telegraph system on all trains running between Chicago and St. Louis and that eventually the scheme would be extended through the entire sys- tenn,
 That the wireless telegraph can be used on fast-moving trains with entire satisfaction was demonstrated to-day by the Alton road, when messages were sent from Chicago to the officers of the road travelling on a limited train run ming between Chicago and St. Louis. The observation car on the train was equipped with wireless apparatus, and while running fifty miles an hour mes sages were received from President Felton. who was in the general offices in Chicago, and replies sent back from the train without the slightest hitch.
 This is the first time that the wire less system ever has been used to com municate with persons on moving train.

and M. Shipoff is bringing to present fair to become historic. The custom ary phrases of respect at the opening and the closing are omitted and it is otherwise unceremonious, employing the direct personal pronoun.
 The address arraigns the bureaucracy and reminds the emperor that his pledge to cOnvoke national assembly is slow of fulfillment. It says the country is on the verge of civil war, and even ventures to critieise a royal measure, contrasting the increase of the police power by the ukase issued last Sunday with a weakening of the administrative process which the coun- try has been led to expect.
 The address urges the sumInoning of a national assembly that the war may become national or cease, and con- cludes with a solemn reminder of the sovereign's duty to God and the Fath- erland, and a prayer for action before it is too late.
 There is intense interest, to learn whether the emperor will receive the bearers of so bold message, couched in terms such as have never before been used between the emperor and his subjects. The address it buttressed with stream of petitions from indi- vidual zenlstvos and municipalities.
 The doumas of nearly all the princi- palities have addressed the throne praying that the representatives of the people be summoned at once.

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
Much Depends on Action of Chicago
 Team Owners Association.


 Chicago, June S.-The teamsters' strike has reached the point where it's further progress and it's further in crease is dependent upon the action taken by the members of the Chicago Team owners association This or ganization has from the first declined to make deliveries to the boycotted houses and has constantly urged the team
 sters to arbitrate the question of mak- ing such deliveries The teamsters have positively refused to deliver or re- ceived goods and now, the last chance of securing any concessions from the teamsters having faded away, the members of the Team owners associa- tion must either decide to deliver goods or allow the teamsters to have their own way. :.
 Opinion among the members of the Team Owners association is strongly divided. At meeting of the organiza- tion tomorrow night the Team Owners association may decide to make deliv- cries and discharge all of its men who refuse to obey orders. Such action would add to the ranks of the strikers about 5000 men.
