THE STRIKE
 NEAR AN END Obstacles to Peace Ap- pear Eliminated. ANOTHER MEETING HELD Question of Union Button
 Plays a Part. indications are That UnIes. Something Unforeseen Occurs, Settlement VIII Be Effected within Very
 short Time.
ANOTHER MEETING HELD

Chicago. June 23.--All the obstacles which prevented an ending of the team sters' strike appear to have been elim- inated and the indications are tonight that unless something unforeseen de- velops. hostilities between the oppos- ing interests will cease within short time.
 At the meeting today between the committee, representing the strikers, and J. V. Farwell. for the Employers' Association. the question of a conspicu- ous display of the union button which has been opposed by the employers during the peace negotiations, was sct- tied. This question Is to be left to the employers Individuality, the association agreeing to withdraw the demand for the elimination of the union emblem.
 During the meeting Mir. FarwelI. the subcommittee of the teamsters' union assured the employers representative that his terms of settlement would be satisfactory to the men. but that the result of the meeting would have to be reported to the general committee be- fore any official action could be taken.
 Arrangements were made by Mir. Far we'll to meet representatives of the general committee tomorrow, when, ac- cording to labor leaders. the settlement of the strike will be completed with the exception of taking a referendum vote by the strikers on the proposition This referendum vote is merely mat ter of form and will without doubt re- suit in an unanimous vote to accept the employers terms.
 Decision by Monday Night. Should tomorrowss conference result in settlement being reached, it Is ex~ pected the referendum vote will be completed by Monday night.
 President Shea of the teamstors' union said he was satisfied with the basis of settlement and would not stand in the way of putting an end to the trouble
 Three concrete problems confronted | the teamsters' Joint council strike set- | clement committee in session today with the Executive Board of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Teamsters
 Upon the decision of the leaders to adopt any of these seemed to depend the settlement or continuation of the strike. The first plan considered was: surrender, give up to the employers. terms. abandon the union button ana get back whatever places may be had" The more belligerent members favored the calling of a general strike of team sters to carry the point that the union button is to the teamster what the flag is to a patriot in battle. The only other alternative was to let the strike continue on the present line.
 President c. P. Shea again appeared to be in the saddle. The peace com mittee had made no progress in nego- tiations with Chairman John V- Far well, Jr., of the action committee of the Employers' Association.

KILLED FROM AMBUSH.
Tragic Death of Baptist Preacher in
 gOufh Carolina.


 Charleston. S. C.. June 23.-A special from Florence says H. D. Granger. a local Baptist preacher. was shot from ambush and killed while working on his farm near here today. He lived in the district known as The Dead Stretch" where it is said that negroes are not welcome and the only exp1ana- tion of his death is Tn the fact that he hired two negroes to work on the farm and paid them, even allowing them to sleep on his premises. Granger was respected and had many friends, but appears to have angered a certain element that had made 1t a risky thing for a negro to enter the dead stretch which is said to lie between Bayboro and Lorls.
 Blood hounds have been sent for and the authorities are evidently intending to track the assassins if possible. Coro- ner Burroughs of Florence has gone to the scene of the traGedx.

august BelmOnt. Hyde VIII Assist.

James H: Hyde. through his counsel Samuel Untermeyer, has indicated to Attorney General Mayer his willingness to facilitate the Attorney Generals pro- posed suit against James H, Hyde and associates" for the return of the profits received by them in the syndicate's transactions in which the Equitable so- ciety was involved. MT. Hyde informed the Attorney General that his counsel was instructed several weeks ago to be- gin a friendly suit against the Society in the syndicate deal which he already has turned over to Cashier Murray of the Society as custodian pending the determination of the ownership of the fund.
 In view of the fact that the Attorney General Is about to bring suit involv- ing the same points. he felt that such action would be entitled to a preference, and 1t could, therefore. be more sped fly tried. He would very much prefer, if agreeable to the Attorn General, that this course be taken.
 Mir. Hyde said he was most anxious for an immediate determination of the ownership of this fund, and If he is right, as he believes himself to be, re- lieve him by the Judgment of the court from the criticisms that have been lev eled against him in the report of the superintendent. which he regards as most unjust and as based upon a total misapprehension of the laW.<and facts !"

Panic at LOJIx ,

Lodz, Russian Poland, June 23.- Since early this morning this city has been in a state of panic. The strike Is general and all the factories and shops are closed. Barricades have been erected at many points. Rifle voIleys and revolver shots are heard contin- ually.
 Many persons have been killed or wounded but it Is impossible at pres ent to ascertain the number with any exactitude owing to the general char acter of the disturbances. The mob sacked a number of liquor stores and broke street lamps. Street railroad traff1o is interrupted.

SERIOUS SITUATION.
Affairs in Poland Have Reached al
 Acute Stage.

Affairs in Poland Have Reached an
 Acute Stage.
 St, Petersburg, June 24.---According to advices received here. the situation in Poland is again exceedingly serious. Censored dispatches from Lodz though giving few details, indicate that serious street fighting took place yesterday be- tween the military and the striking workmen who barricaded the thorough fares in various quarters of the city and offered resistance which the troops met with volleys. The list of dead and wounded presumably Is heavy, but not even an estimate has been received here, Russian correspondents telegraph ing that the streets are entirely in the hands of the military and the mob and that 1t is unsafe to venture out to ob- tain details. It Is not known whether the fighting was continued last night but 1t Is feared that order can be re- stored only at heavy sacrifice.
 Lodz has been in turmoil for the last three days. The strike which em- braces 60,000 workers appears to have entirely lost its economic nature, and is now a vast political manifestation. All forms of public business activity have been suspended, the peaceful in- habitants remaining indoors in fear of their lives. The political zeal of the manifestants have become infiamed by intoxicants from the vodka shops which were Droken Into ana pllld8eu yesterday.
 At Warsaw a strike has commenced and disorders are looked for and the trial of Okrjey. who threw bomb at a police station March 26, will probably result in other bomb outrages. A man was arrested yesterday morning armed with a bomb whicSl was evidently to be used in court during the trial yesterday. In the meantime. the Government has publicly disclaimed all designs as to the Classification of Poland, the com niittee of ministers in its deliberations on the school question which was pub lished yesterday, saying: The com mittee considers 1t absolutely necessary to establish the fact that Classification and denationalism of the Poles cannot possibly lie within the intent of the Russian Government The aim must rather be the amalgation of the Polish Government with the Russian adminis- tration and the welding of the Polish people with the general body polite of Russia by peaceful ties which will pre- serve Polish individuality. culture and language"

JEROME IS
 IN EARNEST Will Probe Deep Into the
 Equitable. TROUBLE FOR OFFICIALS Courts Vacation Has Been
 Suspended. Hyde offers to Assist in the Legal In- vestisation Regarding Action of Himself and the
 Syndicate.
 

New York, June 23.--The reg ular vacation of the Court of General Sessions will be suspended this year so that the court may be avail able If District Attorney Jerome begins prosecution in connection with the af- fairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. This action was taken upon the request of District Attorney Jer- ome.
 District Attorney Jerome, in making his motion to suspend the courts vaca- ton, said he had a letter from Cover nor Higgins offering to place the evi- dence obtained by Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks at MT. Jerome s disposal. Mir. Jerome added:
 Tt is my desire to have that evil dence, and 1t Is my intention to go through 1t very thoroughly.
 'The widespread attention called to this matter makes it mandatory upon me to make an examination of the whole affair. l am not in a position to know at this time whether there has been a violation of the law but 1t Is my duty to find out. Before the Governor addressed his letter to me I had the matter under consideration. having sent for a copy of the official report of the investigation. It may be that there is nothing in this affair to call for action of this court
 Tt Is unusual for the Governor to address such letter as this to the dis trict attorney and it focuses public att tention upon me. have made arrange ments with Justice Davey of the Grim inal Branch of the Supreme Court and he will continue the June term of that court through the summer. The powers of both courts can, If necessary, be in- voked. It will take me some time to learn whether I will need the assist ance of the courts or not
 Attorney General Julius NJ. Mayer was at his office in this city today en- gagged in going over the proceedings in the investigation of the Equitable So- ciety.
 When asked how soon he would be- gin action against the Equitable ofi- cers, scored in the. Hendricks report, Mir Mayer replied:
 Action will be taken as soon as 1t is practically possible and 1t will not be a matter of weeks, but of days, before we will be ready. Not only have I got to go over the Hendricks report, but the testimony which preceded that re- port and on which the report is based
 He was of an opinion that separate action would be taken, one for the res- titution of the funds wrongfully elic- tied and the other for the debarment proceedings against officers of the So= ciety.
 A Novel Action.
 In commenting on this phase of the situation, MT. Mayer said: This is a novel action and it is the first time in

assembled on the college campus
last evening for the first hour of
football practice, and great in
terest was shown in the game and
the promised sport. Charles
Stewart is the coach, and while
he has no heavy material, such
as played in the college team
last year and the past two or
three seasons, he has a promis-
ing bunch of players, aud hopes
to turn out good team compos-
ed entirely of bona fde students
to represent Albany college on
the gridiron the coming season.
Charles Monteith has been
selected as captain of the team
and suitable manager will be
chosen soon. Arrangements for
games are being made with the
