where, with calm selfshness he could
voice the brutal aphorism of moral

at any defense which would serve as
possible justification or extenuation.
John Burt was his friend, the found

TRYING TO HEAD OFF
 A GENERAL STRIKE
Conference Will be Held To.Night-hany Men Applying for Old Jobs Lead Employers to Think That End of Strike is Near-Hearing Before Master in Chancery Continued To-Day.

Chicago, May 15.-Influences in the teamsters joint council, at work to halt a general strike movement including all drivers in Chicago, are expected to bear fruit at a meeting of the council to- night and avert new and greater in- dustrial upheaval here.
 Rumors that the executive board of the International Brotherhood of Team sters would meet in Chicago tomorrow and action of ice wagon drivers in ac- cepting the wage schedule of last year coupled with reports that dozens of strikers have applied for their old posi- tions at the department stores, sustain a belief among the employers that the end of the strike is not far off.
 A meeting of the joint iverymen's association is called to consider action in relation to a threatened strike of 2OO0 cab drivers who refuse to take their passengers to stores under the union ban. The result depends upon the determination of the teamsters joint council tonight.
 Before master in Chamcery Sherman hearing of the federal injunction cases continued to-day, attorneys for the en- ployers trying to obtain light on the alleged "slugging" feature of the strike to show that violence committees" exist for every union during times of strikes and that men are trained for ''slugging' work and employed exclu- sively for that purpose. It was de- clared today that if the union men called as witnesses continued in re- fusal to answer questions, orders cit ing for contempt would surely follow.

WAITING
 DECISION. Many Millions Are
 in Sight.
New York Nay Profit Large. ly by Franchise Tax Law - Comptroller Crout a Busy Man.

New York, May 15.-Twenty-slxm mil lion dollars will be contributed to the tax fund of Greater New York If the decision expected to-day from the United States supreme court on the franchise tax law, should be favorable to the city.
 In the hope of victory, for the cAey. Comptroller Grout has for the last three days had his office force busy preparing complete tabulation of all the taxes due the city under the fran chdse tax law, together with interest, since the law went into effect in 1900. From all five boroughs the total amount due for taxes alone is $22, ,141, ,763. To this sum there is to be added about $3,- 5OOOOO interest and at least another million for penalties, which will bring the total close to $27,OOO,OOO.
 These figures bring the amounts due to June 1 next. As soon as the deci- sion is received the comptroller will take steps to collect the money, if it be favorable to the city.
 That the city would win the suit and collect the taxes has been anticipated all along by the officials and they have made financial arrangements accord ingly. Consequently defeat would completely upset all calculations upon which the city's financial arrange ments have been made for the last tihre years. Next to the loss to the city treasury of $26,OO0,OO0 that had been counted upon the most serious result would be the effect on the debt limit, which would be reduced by more than one third.

 Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Gala, May 15.-William Morton, an aeronaut, has been severely injured and has had, narrow escape from death at Chutes park by being dashed against telegraph pole as his balloon arose from the ground. Nor ton was rendered unconscious, but be- ing strapped to the bar of the para chute, he did not fall. The balloon rose rapidly, carrying the unconscious man dangling from the bar.

But the balloon gradually lost its lifting power from gas evaporation and soon settled to the ground some distance from the park. Morton struck in the branches of a tree and rolled to the grounu in the rear yard of residence. He was still unconscious from his first injury, however, and was immediately taken to the receiving hospital where he re- vived. His injuries were found not to be serious.
