WITNESS IN new ULn .
CASE is POISONED
Man Who Saw Murderer the
Night of the Crime Eats
Doctored Sausaaes
Special to The Globe

OPCC1dl 70 Lie .S1lODS
NEW ULM, Mimi, Dec. 31.-New
Ulm was startled today by the dis
covery that Anton Horsak, principal
witness for the Koch defense and the
man who saw the murderer mount the
stairs leading to DR.. L. A. Gebhard's
office few minutes before the murder,
has been poisoned by sausages, but not
fatally. While the poisoning may have
been accidental, 1t is believed by many
to have been carefully planned.
The fact that DR.. Gebhard received
a bottle of poison week before he
was murdered and the only man who
saw the murderer go up the stairs to
the murdered mans Office has now
narrowly escaped being the victim of a
poisoner, is commented upon.
The attorneys of DIR. Koch are trying
to learn who poisoned the sausage. A
suspect is under surveillance. Horsak,
who is a shoemaker, went home
Wednesday night and took with him a
quantity of sausage, and both he and
his wife ate of it freely. They retired
and a little later both became deathly
i'll. Mrs. Horsak came near dying,
while Mr.. Horsak was not in so seri-.
ed and both recovered from the effect
OF the poison.
Horsak's Testimony
Mr.. Horsak says that he was walk
ing on Minnesota street, near Dr. Geb-
hard's Office, the night of the murder,
and only few minutes before the
crime was discovered. He saw a man
come across the street from the direc-
| ton Of the alley next to Olson'S drug
store. The man held handkerchief
to his face as though he were suffer-
ing from the toothache. He passed
Mr. Horsak and went into the doorway
OF fl,,-sf foo Of Tor ords cfa a;,-c
"Guten abend." said the shoemaker,
addressing the man in German, as he
passed him. The man refused to re-
spond, and, although Horsak is GER
tain that he is a New Ulm citizen, he
is positive in saying that it was not
DR.. Koch.
Since an attempt has been made to
poison the shoemaker, and the man
who murdered Gebhard is probably the
one who mailed him the poison, it is
thought that the same person put the
poison in the sausages of which Horsak
and his wife partook. Many persons
believe that the real murderer fears
that Horsak may be able to recognize
him and is making an effort to quiet
him forever.

PRONOUNCED BREAK IN RANKS,
OF STRIKING TRANSFERS
At CHICAGO.
END OF The TROUBLE IN SIGHT
PROPOSED VOTE OF MEN INTER.
EsTED MAY DECLARE THE
STRIKE OFF.

Chicago, June 20-A pronounced
break in the ranks OF the strikers oc--
Cured during tie day For the first
time since the strike began many
weeks ago there were numerous in
stances where striking teamsters ap-
piled individually for former positions
without waiting for the strike to be
formally declared off. This was espe-
cially true at the lumber yards. George
K. Wenig of the Wenig Teaming COM
pany said:
Many of my old teamsters have
asked for their positions. Not one Of
them said anything about deliveries to
the boycotted firms. have done moth
ing yet in the matter and shall not do
anything until consult with other
employers
Additional evidence of conspiracy,
it is said, has been obtained by the
grand jury, which is deyoting it's at
tention to the graft" charges and to
6nding out who was responsible for
the killing of nonunion drivers during
the strike riots.

BY REFERENDUM VOTE.
Chicago Teamsters Likely to Declare
Strike Off,

Chicago Teamsters Likely to Declare
Strike Off.
Chicago, June 2O.-There are indi-
cations that the teamsters' strike will
come to an end before the close of
this week. The announcement is made
from a source high in the counsels of
the union that the strikers will be
allowed to decide for themselves
whether the strike shall be called Off
without conditions or allowed to con-
tinue
Present plans, which will be set on
foot officially at special meeting of
the Transfers Joint Council, contem-
plate a referendum vote during the
next few days by which each Of the
teamsters may decide for himself
whether he has had enough of the war:
fare.
One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the referendum, it is argued,
is the fact that the peace terms of the
employers contain demands diamet-
rically opposed to the principles of
the teamsters' organization and the
drivers would rather call off the strike
than agree to them.
Negotiations are in progress be
tween the Freight Handlers union and
more than score of railway COM
panies for new agreement. Over
1000 members of the organization are
demanding an increase in wages
amounting to 10 per cent. The scale
now ranges from $1.75 to 50 day and
the present agreement expires July 1.

e Paris, June Ofieia quarters
here show a feeling Of optimism and
confidence concerning the early adjust
ment of the Franco-G German contro-
versy which is in marked contrast with
the agitation and depression Of the
last week. It is definitely stated that
the negotiations between Premier Rou-
vier and Prince Radolin, the German
ambassador, give promise of accord
within the present week. This doubt
less will be for an international confer
ence on the Moroccan question, with
the scope clearly defined so as not to
give the slightest prejudice. to French
interests or obligations, but rather to
supplement- the international agree
ments France heretofore has made.
The conversations between M. Rou-
vier and Prince Radolin are proceed
ing in the most amiable spirit with
feeling manifest on both sides to
reach an agreement.
The improvement in the Franco-Ger-
man situation continued during the
day, the officials expressing the belief
that the crisis was past and that the
affair was on the way toward speedy
adjustment on the basis of confer
ence within defined limits.

IN HANDS OF RECEIVER.
Fyfe, Manson & Co., Prominent on
Chicago Board Of Trade.

Chicago, June 2O.-Fyfe, Manson &
Co., a grain firm prominent on the
board Of trade, went into the hands of
a receiver during the day. Notice was
posted at the board notifying all per-
sons having trades with the firm to
close the trades at once.
The application for a receivership
was made voluntarily by Fyfe, Man
son d Co., who are said to be involved
to the extent of between $4,000 and
$4,000 Uric King, president of the
grain and stock protection bureau, was
named as receiver.
The failure is attributed to the fact
that the firm has recently favored the
bear side in the corn market Con
trary to expectation of the firm quota
tions for corn have shown an upward
tendency since the bull deal in corn
for May delivery was completed.

PUTE WILL BE SETTLED BY
NEGOTIATION.

s
Berlin, June 2O.-Premier Rouvier
has informed Prince Radolin, the Ger
man ambassador at Paris, that France
is inclined to accept the invitation to
take part in the proposed conference
on Morocco provided the German and
French governments can reach a mu-
tually satisfactory agreement as to
the precise points to be considered by
the conferees. The conviction exists
at the, foreign Office that France and
Germany will be able to agree on this
programme. although earnest differ
ences of view are yet to be reconciled
the authoritative Judgment Of the for,
eign Office is that they will all be over
come by negotiation. M. Rouvier has
thus yielded to Prince Won BueloW on
two essential points on which M. Del
casse, the former foreign minister, had
refused the invitation to take part in a
Morocco conference. NJ. Rouyiar first
consented to reopen the question and
then agreed to take part in the confer
ence provided the protocol is in con-
formity with French interests. This
will be accepted by Germany, which
will limit the deliberations of the con-
ference.
Great Britain, supporting France,
had also refused to join the proposed
conference, but Foreign Secretary
I1ansdoWne has, it is understood. said
that if France accepted Great Britain
would also accept.
A great diplomatic battle is in prog
ress with the probabilities leaning to-
ward German success.
