BULLETS INHEAD, STILL LIVES.
Remarkable Case of Baltimore Man
 Who Attempted Suicide.

Remarkable Case of Baltimore Man Who Attempted Suicide.
 Baltimore, May 21.-on May 3, George
 Horst, thirty-two years old, an en- ploye in a brewery here, attempted to
 commit suicide by shooting himself twice in the head. The bullets have not been removed, but to the amazement of physicians who have interested them selves in this case he is not only liv- ling, but according to present indica- tions, will soon be well enough to be out of the house, One of the bullets with which Horst attempted to end his life entered just below the right tenn
 pie. Ordinarily either bullet would
 have been sufficient to cause death, but 1 in Horst's case they apparently result [ ed in nothing more serious than paraly- 1 sis of the left and part of the right side. which paralysis is now disappear ing. At first 1t was decided to probe for the bullets, but this plan was abandon led, the physicians in attendance say ing they can be removed at any time in the future. Horst's mind began to clear
 rapidly after the second day and five days after the shooting he smoked a cigar. His memory Is perfectly good
 and he understands everything going ion about him.

EXTENSION OF STRIKE.
Everything in Chicago Pointed to It Last Night.

Chicago, May 21Sunday brought no change in the attitude of either side to the labor controversy now in progress in Chicago. and everything tonight points towards an extension of the Iteamsters' strike during the coming
 week. Officers of the seven express companies, whose refuse to reinstate
 any of their former employees, fearing the collapse of the settlement of the trouble last night, still adhere to their determination not to give employment
 to any of their former employees, and the other firms involved in the diffi- culty tonight declared that they would stand by the express companies in the fight.
 | The Tearnsters union has taken just
 as firm stand as the employers, and ! it was said by President Shea tonight
 that the union would not call off the strike until the express companies came
 to terms.
 The first spread of the strike is ex- pected to come tomorrow morning, when the Lumbermens association, an organization employing 2,4O0 teamsters, issues an order to their men to make
 deliveries to all business house, regard less of whether they are involved in
 the strike. In anticipation of such an order the teamsters met this afternoon
 and voted to go on strike should any teamster be discharged for refusing to oFf Inr 1 sociation.
 With non-union drivers making de- liyeries for the lumbermen the strike twill undoubtedly spread to affiliated l industries, as the union men employed ton buildings will refuse to handle ma terial delivered by .non-union labor. 1 Should this lumberrnen's strike be call
 ed tomorrow, and there is nothing to-
 night that would indicate how it can be
 avoided, there seems to be nothing that
 can prevent a general industrial up-
 heaval throughout Chicago.
 | Levy Mayer, chief counsel for the
 Employers association, gave out a
 statement to-day in which he said:
 ''The employers propose to do busi- ness and will continue to invoke every legal avenue for the protection of their
 men and property. That the employers
 are right in the attitude they have as- stunned in the controversy was demon
 strated by the fact that every term and
 condition they insisted upon was agreed
 to by Shea and his committee. Not
 withstanding this, however, Shea now 1 insists that the express companies shall lbs boycotted by us in order to bring

Lord Esher's interpretation of Premier
 Balfour,s Speech.

London, May 22.--Lord Fisher (wl1o was chairman of what is known as the Lord Esher commission appointed in 1903 for the purpose of advising the government concerning the creation of a board for the administrative business of the war office), in a letter published in tbe Times this morning he infers that the general Interpretation of Pre- mier Balfour's recent speech on de- fense ,os the empire Is incorrect. Lord Esher contends that the premier's ar gument which was necessarily clothed in parliamentary and diplomatic lan- guage was rather for an increase than la decrease of the naval and military power. Lord Esher argues that Mir. Balfour intended to convey the necessi- ty of a naval force so large and mobile as to leave sufficient force to protect the country from invasion even when the main fleets are absent and for an army strong enough to meet the future possi- bility of the Russian and Indian from |tiers becoming conterminous.

DEATH OF PIGEON SHOOTING.
Prominent English Club Votes to Abol'
 ish the Sport.

London, May The sport of pig con shooting appears to be doomed in England. At it's annual meeting on Saturday the Birmingham club, which, although mainly concerned with polo, was originally started as a pigeon shooting club, by an overwhelming ma jority carried resolution proposed by the president, Earl Lancaster, to hence- forth abolish pigeon shooting at the |club. Many titled sportsmen attended the meeting and strong whips had been sent out by both the advocates and op- ponents of pigeon shooting.
 Parliament attempted to deal with the question in 1883 but the house of lords vetoed the bill adopted by the house of commons prohibiting trap shooting on the ground of it's brutality It is expected that after the Burling- ham clubs decision the lords would no longer oppose such a bill. # X

about a settlement of the strike. This We will never do, and even if we were willing to comply with the demands of Shea, to take such action would be crime which no law-abiding person struck against the express companies in violation of the letter of their agree ment, despite the fact that the men were told that if they struck they would not be re-employed.''
 ''The employers association to a man believes that the seven express companies are Justified in the stand they have taken and our organization will use every endeavor to assist the express companies in maintaining the decision they have reached. Of course this decision means that there will be no settlement of the strike unless the union withdraws it's demand; but it is the only thing left for us to do.''
 Alonzo Wygant, general agent of the United States Express Co.,, said to- night that so far as settlement of the strike was concerned the only way that it coEld be ended would be for the teamsters to surrender.
 Mayor Edward F. Dunne and Sheriff Thomas B. Barrett spent the day in trying to ascertain what would be the spread of the strike tomorrow. During the afternoon a conference was held in the mayors office. President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation Iof Labor. was invited to attend the meeting,
 After talking over the situation with Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Barrett. MT. Gompers withdrew from the confer ence, to have a consultation with Pres lident Shea of the teamsters union
 Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Barrett asked me to use my influence and to do everything possibly could to prevent the extension of the strike said Mir. Gompers. T told them was willing to do everything could in an advisory capacity to bring about peace.'' At the end of the conference Mayor Dunne said: Should there be an ex- tension of the strike with a resumption of the rioting os two weeks ago. there is probability that troops will be call
 ed to maintain order. x
 Sheriff Barrett tonight said he would continue swearing in deputies to-mor- row and would make special efforts to increase the number.

Ago-Unified Management.
 The order recently passed by the Massachusetts legislature directing the railroad commissioners to obtain a de- tailed statement of stocks, bonds and other securities of street railway cor porations held by the New York, New Haven & Hartford company does not call attention to any new departure in its policy. The managers of the New Haven system believe that the public will be better served by an unified management of electric and steam lines in the same territory than by rival and conflicting interests. For number of years the New Haven road has been ac- quiring electric railways, as is well known, and has been doing so because it believes that it's course in this mat ter will prove beneficial both to the transportation companies concerned and to their patrons.
 The New York, New Haven & Hart ford was a pioneer among American railways in the use of electricity as a motive power, not only through the identification of some of it's own branches. but also through the acqui- sition and construction Of electric street railways. The electric roads, especial ly those running from town to town, are becoming the great feeders of Ann erican railways and unified control will bring beneficial results similar to those which followed the combination of many short steam lines in large rail- road systems.
 The building up of the great Ameri- can railways has not led to increased charges for the transportation of pas sengers and freight nor diminished ser vice. On the other hand, fares and freight rates have been steadily reduce ed, while the service has grown more efficient. The present generation of American travellers knows little of the inconvenience of the old system, when a passenger, riding from New York to Boston, passed over the lines of several companies, and was obliged to change cars at junction oints.
 The New York, New Haven 6 Hart ford, in acquiring it's electric railway properties has been following under present conditions a course similar to that which proved successful when the early railroads, local and hostile en- terprises, were gradually combined and brought into harmonious operation as parts of larger railways. Combination of old time steam rail- roads was brought about because of the necessities of a rapidly growing busi- ness, although the railway history of the time is full of instances of opposi- tion, and often bitter opposition, from those who did not that the new order of things meant more and better trains, increased freight facilities and lower lContinued on Fifth PaRan

MANY JAPANESE ON STRIKE
SERIOUS DISTURBANCE ON ISL
 AND OF MAUI, HAWAII.
Most of the White inhabitants and Militia at Lahaina Prisoners in Court House--Reinforceme Dispatched from HonoIuIu--Cause of the Strike. Japanese Make Demands Which Are Refused.

Honolulu, May 21.-Most of the white inhabitants at Lahaina, on the Island of Maui, including the military, are prisoners in the courthouse, which is surrounded by striking Japanese labor CTS. One Japanese was killed and two were wounded by the police during an
 attack on a plantation mill.
 All the 2,300 Japanese laborers on the island are now on strike and are show ing violent mood. The steamer Kinau left Honolulu this morning, taking Ma tional Guard Company F, consisting of thirty men, commanded by Captain Johnson and forty armed Honolulu po- licemen, under High Sheriff Henry, to | the scene of the trouble.
 The strike started a week ago on the Wailuku plantation on the other side [ of Maui from Lahaina. The Japanese made long list of demands, among them being the discharge of the head oyerseer.
 All the demands were rejected. On
 Friday the strike spread to the pioneer pic1ilteitlOll. Iht pietliLdtlot 1 ly began paying off the striking Japan csc, who then commenced to stone the
 mill and resisted all efforts of the
 mounted police to drive them away.
 The Maui military, which was called out, restored order temporarily. Every
 thing was peaceful late Saturday, when ! the island steamer Claudine left, but
 soon after the steamers departure a
 clash between Japanese and plantation
 policemen occurred, in which shooting
 took place. A general outbreak follow 1 ed, ending in the imprisonment of the
 whites and the militia in the court

Side in the strike-Indications Point
 Toward an Extension of the Strike.
 Chicago, May 21-Rioting resulted to- night at Twenty-ninth and Dearborn streets, when James Gray, negro non-union teamster was shot dead by Harry Bernstein, bartender, during an argument over the teamsters' strike Bernstein was nlortally shot by Policeman Tinsley, colored, and 1000 persons had partly demolished a saloon into which Tinsley had taken the un- conscious bartender.
 The street fighting tonight is the lat est of several clashes between negroes and whites since Enoch Carlson, eight years old, was shot and killed several days ago by two men, alleged to have been negro strike breakers.
 In a discussion tonight of the strike and the shooting of Carlson, Gray and Bernstein fought in the streets. Bern- stein drew revolver and fired four shots. Two of the bullets took effect in Gray's body and he fell dead.
 Two negroes, attracted by the noise, seized the baratender and a fight for the revolver began. Policeman Tinsley who has been appointed as a special policeman during the strike, ran up Bernstein swung the revolver towards Tinsley, and, it was said, discharged the weapon twice. Tinsley drew his own revolver and fired four shots, each of the bullets taking effect in Bern stein's body. A crowd hurried to- ward Tinsley and the wounded man Tinsley carried Bernstein into a saloon The crowd, which was composed largely of negroes, cried for vengeance for the killing of Grey. Tinsley shut and bar red the saloon door. The mob rushed at the building, but being unable tc force the doors open, large stones and other missiles were thrown at the build ing, and every window and fixture ir the place was demolished.
 Tinsley, in an effort to save Bern- stein from the mob, had the wounded bartender taken into a basement, and Etelephoned to police station.
 1.-Two patrol wagons and an ambu. lance filled with policemen hurried te the scene, but it was only after des. perate fight in which several of the rioters were bruised by policemen's clubs that the mob was forced back from the saloon, shouting for Bernstein I, the slayer of Gray.
 The police told the crowd that Bern. stein had been killed, and placing ths unconscious bartender on a stretcher covered his face and showed his body ! to the crowd, and ther ioters soon dis. persed.
 After he had been revived in a hos, pital, Bernstein declared that Gray hat started the trouble and that he hat killed the negro in self defence.
