SUFFER In NEW YORK
Showers Brings Relief to the Suffering
of the Poor, Due to the Excessive
Heat and Humidity in the Great Me-
tropoIis-Tenement People unpre-
pared,

New York, June 19.--Showers and
change of wind early today greatly re-
duced the temperature and excessive
humidity from which Greater New
York sveltered throughout the Sab
bath. Nowhere in the city was the
suffering so intense as in the east side
tion had been made for it. From
hundreds Of stuffy tenements thou
sands of children swarmed into the
streets, many of them half clad and
others struggling to rid themselves OF
such fragments as still clung to their
little bodies. Mothers with haggard
faces peered out Of lofty windows and
snieked in vain for their little ones to
come in and the police were constant
ly called upon to queH infantile riots
and scores of children were reported
lost at nightfall. Nearly every house,
hold among the tenement dwellers has.
been called upon to provide for one or
more of the immigrants who swarn1ed
into the city last spring, and most or
these have nothing but heavy winter
clothing. In places the curbs and
door steps were lined with heavy
bearded men, exhausted and appar-
entity suffering intense physical pain,
Orders were, issued in all the down
town precincts to leave the parks open
during the night until the weather
changed.
Business men and sociologists and
others will begin here the formal dis
cussion of the immigration question:.
1t is estimated 60 per cent of the inn
migrants arrived at this port remain
in New York, and the over-crowded
condition of the east side streets andl
tenements during the past six months
has awakened a new interest in TIA
matter and plans will be discussed faS
ridding the city of the burden. Some
authorities estimate that in Greater
New York nearly 100000 English
speaking families are on the verge Of
destitution because Of the influence Of
cheap labor.

Bagley, June 19.-Five farm resi-

tornado which passed thru this Sec
ton Of the state last evening. Three
members of the family of Joseph sear-
uba were seriously injured. All OF
the buildings on the Searuba farm are
totally wrecked and the crops badly
damaged. Trees were uprooted and
windmills leveled. The storm passed
east and is not believed to have COW
cred a very large area, but details OF
damage in the country are hard to OBJ
tain, owing to the fact that all tele-
phone lines are out Of commission. The
storm was accompanied by heavy
rain which was general all over cen-
trail Iowa.

STRIKERS ASK FOR JOBS
Large Number Of u-ion Teamsters
Individually Applied For Their Old
Positions Today Those Desiring
Peace Will Make Strong Effort
at Tonisht's Meeting.

Chicago, June 19.-A pronounced
CURED today when large number Of
striking teanlsters applied individ
ually for their former positions with
out waiting for the strike to be for
1nally declared off. This was especially
true at the lumber yards.
The Peace party of the striking
teamsters was busy today outlining
the plans for forcing an end Of the
strike: Tonight the Steering COM
1nitee" appointed Saturday at the
meeting of the the anti-Shea and
anti-strike element, will endeavor to
carry its point in the teamsters' joint
council meeting, even if it has to
keep the deliberations in progress all
night. Calls have been sent out to
command a full attendance at the joint
council, and there are many who pre-
dict the way for peace In the indus
trial situation will be paved at to-
nights session. L. B. Beebe, head OF
the Steering committee" will lead for
peace. The first move Of the anti
strike teansters will be to have the
whole matter referred to. the natlonal
executive board of the international
brotherhood of teamsters with run
power to act. If the steering commit
tee fails to force others in the council
to adopt this program, it will essay the
task of getting new council commit
etc with plenary power.
None of the teamsters who applied
for reinstatement were given employ
ment. as the employers stated they,
wished to consult other members OF
the Employers Association before glV-
ing an answer.

.TwENTY.THREE WE'RE KILLED.
Wreck on the Western MaryIan
u Claims Over Score nf Nicfinas

Wreck on the Western Maryland
Claims Over Score Of Victims.
Baltimore, Md, June 19.-The death
roll of Saturday nights disaster on the
Western Maryland railroad now foots
up twenty-three and this number is
likely to be increased from among the
list of injured.
Baltimore, June 19.-By far the worst
wreck in the history of western Mary
land railroads occurred Saturday eve
ming at Patapesco, small station be-
tween Westminster and Finksburg. At
least eighteen people are believed to
have been killed and score or more
injured.
Passenger train No. 5, west bound.
was running at high rate of speed,
when near the station named, It
crashed into a double header freight
train running east. All three engines
were reduced to scrap iron The ex-
press and baggage cars and passenger
coaches were smashed and a number
of freight cars splintered.
The passenger coaches sustained lit
tie injury and almost without excep-
tion their occupants escaped with
nothing worse than a bad shaking up.
The fatalities and injuries were to
the crews of the engines and workmen
employed by the workmen. The men
were on their way to their homes in
small towns along the Western Mary
land, to spend Sunday. When the crash
came, those on the engines jumped or
were thrown from the train and We're
only injured. ~
Those in the baggage car were ter
ribly mangled and the crews of all
three engines were killed. Their bodies
are all believed to be under the wreck
age of the engines.
Just before the first relief train
bringing the injured to the hospitals,
left the scene, the wreckage about them
began to burn.
The first relief train to reach here
brought eleven badly injured and one
who had. died on the trip. Those re-
covered from the wreck dead were
taken to Westminster.

Wright has troubles all + own that
the public knows very lit: f. He has
almost come to think THAI every one
with troubles always goes to the
dairy commissioner. if there is a dis
ease breaks out anywhere it is either
the water or the milk that is to blame
and if the water is at fault it is spme-
times traced to the milk. The greatest
difficulty, however. seems to be that
about the time a good milk inspector
is discovered he gets mixed up in the
milk business himself, or else gets to
selling stock food or something.
Whenever the milk men in town
make no complaint of a milk inspector
Mr. Wright becomes suspicious that
things are not, all we'll and usually
starts quiet investigation to discover
what the trouble is. When the com :
plants come in reasonably regular,
but not in too great numbers, he has
reasonable degree of certainty that
the milk is being inspected along rigid
lines that are affording safety to the
people One great difficulty is that the
milk inspectors work gives him eni-
p.oyment for only few days in each
month and for that reason It is diff
cult to find men who will take the
,rk. Just now there seems to be
some towns where there are not
enough complaints coming in from the
milk men to indicate that the inspec-
tors are doing their work.

Superintendent Horton of the Sol
diers' Home, spent the greater part
oe last week at the state house as
lsisting the members of the board of
control in making up the awards Of the
contracts for the supplies to the state
institutions. The board at the regular
intervals receives samples Of every
thing that is purchased for the var
ious institutions. What is purchased
for ore institution is purchased for all
institutions, with very few excep-
tions. And there is hardly a thing but
the state is a consumer. The various
samples are placed on table in the
board room and the goods are compar-
ed with the prices made by the differ
ent firms. The samples are kept and
the goods shipped must then compare
favorlbly with the samples. Tie poll
icy OF the board Of control is not to
take bids on anything. but the best that
there is. There are no second rate
groceries of any kind. Every article
that is purchased, must be the best
ob.ainable and the price is fixed by the
competitive bids Of the various firms
For the orphans home and the indus
trial schools and other schools where
there are children, candy and peanuts
are part of the regular supply for
distribution on special days. For the
institutions where there are men pipes
and tobacco are a regular staple arti-
Gle purchased. These supplies are
given out under certain rules, a cer-
tain amount going to each person. In
the penitentiaries the prisoners get
tobacco according to the grade in
which they are c1assed. The lowest
grade get none and the highest gets a
good supply while the middle grade
gets small supply each day. But
none of the prisoners or inmates get
cigaret papers. That is one article
that the state does not furnish Fre-
quently the prisoners are found to
make. cigarets of scraps of newspaper
however. tho this is prevented as much
as possible.
