A General Strike of the $4,000
Union Drivers in Chicago
is Threatened.
The TEAM OWNERS ULTIMA1UM.
The Joint Liverymen's Association
Has Become Involved and Strike
of Their Drivers is Imminent.
Another Death Added to the List Of
Strike victims-James Jennings,
CoIored, Was Shot In the
Head and Killed.

Chicago, May 15.-Unless comprom-
ises are effected by all the opposing
interests in the fight now in progress
in Chicago between capital and labor
the teamsters' strike may spread many
fold during the next few days. The
refusal of the teamsters' joint council
representing $4,000 union drivers, to
accede to the demands of the Chicago
Team Owners association to handle
merchandise for all business houses
having contracts with the members OF
the owners organization. without dis.
eliminating against the firms involved
in the present strike, has brought the
controversy to point where speedy
settlement will have to be made to
prevent an extension of the trouble.
There is a possibility, however. that
the whole trouble may be satisfactor-
lily adjusted without resorting to such
drastics measures. After receiving the
announcement Of the teamsters joint
council refusing to obey the ultimatum
of the Team Owners association a
meeting of the latter organization was
held and it was decided to give the
teamsters more time to consider the
proposition.
The Chicago Joint Liveryman's as
sociation has become involved in the
trouble and strike of the 1000 driv-
ers employed by this organization Is
imminent. The trouble was brought
about by the union carriage drivers re-
fusing to carry patrons of the associa-
tion to the strike bound department
stores. statement was given out
by the association that the drivers
would be ordered to carry all patrons
~ their destination and that a refusal
meant immediate discharge. The OFF,
cals of the cab drivers union declared
that their men would all be ordered on
strike If but even one member OF their
union was discharged for refusing to
obey the command of the association.
Should this strike be called it will in
volve the hearse drivers, and, it was
said, would necessitate the use of
mounted guards to escort funerals to
outlaying cemeteries should it be nec-
essary to use non-union drivers.
Another death was added to the list
of strike victims. In a controversy
arising out of the strike between John
Cahill and two companions with Jas.
Jennings, colored, the latter was shot
in the head and killed. Cahill. who
did the shooting and who is under ar.
rest, declares that he killed the negro
in self.defense

coal by the Russians were at Algiers,
where the quantity was Insignificant.
The main stock of coal was purchased
in Germany and England without pro-

Russian second Pacific squadron OBJ
tained by anchoring off the French
coast were equally open to the Japa-
nese II they had taken the offensive
instead OF awaiting the Russians"

daughter of ]. c. O'Hara, boarding
house keeper, Harry Burke armed him
self with two 32-caliber revolvers and
repaired to the girls home, bent on
killing her. A shooting ARRAY result.
ed, In which one man was fatally
wounded and another seriously. Burke
himself was mortally injured.
Burke, who is employed as trainer
on the fair grounds, boarded at the
home Of O'Hara till when he was told
that his attentions to O'Hara's daugn-
ter we're not welcome. There was a
violent scene. after which Burke left
the house, swearing vengeance. He re-
turned and, flashing his revolvers, he
threatened to kill Lizzie at sight.
Charley Kennedy, also a horse train.
er and boarder in the house, entered
and counseled Burke not to do any
thing rash. The infuriated man then
turned on Kennedy. He fred at him
at close range and shot him in the
shoulder and side. Kennedy fed and
made his way to the roof Of the house,
with Burke In close pursuit
When the men we're on the roof
Burke fired another shot, 5ut missed
his victim. Kennedy, being. .unarmed,
had to choose be.waea certain death

landed onla grass plot without further
injury He ran down the street and
met Policemen Sam Nis'ey and Geo.

the shooting.
Meanwhile Burke had descended
from the roof into the clearinghouse,
where he again threatened to kill the
girl. The latter. however, was barri.
caded in an inner room. and her "a
ther and the other boarders were in a
similar plight in another room. When
the officers appeared Burke showed
fight at once. He shot twice at MIS-
ley, wounding him In the side and
shoulder. Physicians give no hope of
the officers recovery.
Burke was finally overpowered and
taken to jail by Officer Johnson, but

A RAILWAY HORROR.
Twenty Persons Killed and Over 1oo
Injured at Harrisburg, Pa.

Harrisburg. Pa, May 12.-Twenty
persons are known to be dead and
more than 100 others we're injured In
the railroad wreck and dynamite ex.
plosion which occurred on the Penn
sylvania railroad in the southern part
of this city. That not more persons
were killed Is considered remarkable
by the Pennsylvania officials as full
box car of dynamite exploded directly
at the middle Of heavy express
train.
Most of the bodies are burned to
crisp and in some cases arms and legs
are missing. Two Of the bodies have
nothing left but portion of the trunk.
The wrecked train was the second
section of the Cleveland and Cincin-
natl express leaving Philadelphia.
The engine on an eastbound freight
train was tagged by the crew of a
shifting engine ahead on the same
track. The engineer quickly put on
his airbrakes and the train, an un-
usually long one, came to a sudden
halt. The strain on the air valves was
a severe one, and a connecting air
hose in the middle of the train blew
out This caused the middle Of the
train to buckle" and the damaged
cars fell over on the passenger tracks.
Just as this happened the express
came laundering up and "side-swiped"
the wreck. The express was, stopped
within it's own length, and the third
sleeper was opposite the wrecked cars.
Before any one could leave the passen'
ger train, which was not very badly
damaged, few slight explosions oc-
cured, and then there was one great
flash and roar that shook the earth
The whole affair occurred within a
period of a few seconds.
