club consisting of store clerks, every
member a thief, is Pittsburg's latest con-
tribution to the crime record. The de-
tectiyes call it the store Clerks Theft
League" The members called it pleas
ure club" Il met regularly, and after
the business was concluded a wine sup
per wound up the night. The business
part of each meeting, according TO the
detectives, consisted in an interchange of
plumber. A clerk who had stolen more
jewelry than he needed would exchange
with one who had pilfered more clothes
than he could wear. What was left over,
the stuff that none of the members fam
cied, was sold to provide pocket money
Detectives who have been at work on the
case say the scheme has been worked like
a charm fer several months. One firm,
Joseph Horne & Co, places the loss at
$4,000, ar' says it may be twice that
amount. Clerks in a number of stores,
men who bought the plumber, and en-
ployes OF two theaters are being carefully
watched. One of the clerks arrested broke
down and revealed the plot. Among the
articles stolen was a solid gold and jewel
studded clock, valued at $1,000, and a
5000 diamond studded collar. These We're
returned by women to whom they had
been presented by the clerks. The woman
with the clock tainted when told its value
by the police. She thought it was gilt
and rhinestone affair of little value. The
Horne company had no idea it was being
robbed until the detectives produced stolen
goods they had recovered. The police say
many other concerns have suffered in the
same manner

PLOWS UP DYNAMITE
INDIANA FARM PLANTED WITH
THE EXPLOSIVE.
Farmer Schneider Fatally Injured
and Team Killed as Result of Her
mit's RevengefuI PIot-Great Steel
Plant far Tacoma, wash.

Another explosion OF dynamite on the
farm Of Philip Schneider, just south of
Hammond, Ind, proves to all the inhab-
itants of the neighborhoOd that the place
is honeycombed with the deadly stuff.
While Farmer Schneider was blowing
during the forenoon he struck glass jar
filed with the explosive. Mr.. Schneider
was thrown fifty feet and fatally injured.
His eyes were blown out and his body
horribly mutilated. Both his horses We're
instantly killed. The unconscious man
was found BY his wife when she went look
ing for MIN when he did not return to
dinner. lie was lying between the bodies
Of his horses. This is tie second tragedy
that has followed rha leasing of the farm
by Schneider The place formerly had
been rented by John \. Thompson, who,
on being elected by Helen Fritsche, the
owner, for non-payment Of rent. swore, it
IS said, that any one vino set foot on the
land would be killed 1t is claimed by
neighbors tina Thompson at that time
bought 200 pounds Of dynamite sealed in
glass jars. Recently six jars of dynamite
were found by Schneider in the burrows of
a field. When Schneider who leased the
place two months ago. took possession he
found packages of dynamite in the house
and barn. Neighboring farmers belie.ed
che place haunted. One night not long
ago an explosion occurred in the barn,
which was destroyed by fire. The next
day the remains of Thompson We're found
in the debris. Thompson, who was con
sidered eccentric and somewhat of a her

19O5-Year of Few strikes.

According to data just published by
the Massachusetts bureau of labor, the
year ending Sept. 80 1905, was particu-
larly free from industrial disputes in that
State. There were but 15S labor contro-
versies, 1913 being strikes, 2 lockouts and
3 partaking of the nature of both a strike
and lockout. This number, as compared
with the disputes of 1903-1904, shows a
decrease of 40. The period was marked
by ne large or general strike, and, on
the whole, the disputes were of minor i'm
portance, and the number of disputes was
less than in any preceding year.
More dissension occurred in the textile
industry than ia any other, the industrial
stoppages numbering 40, or about % per
cent of the entire number The inhar-
monious state of affairs in the textile in
dustry was occasioned largely by the in
PRODUCTION OF new machinery, the electric
warp-stop motion, together with the OPP
GRAFTON of the 10-loom system being the
primary causes of the greater number Of
strikes.
The decreasing number of trade dis
putes is accounted for in a large measure
by the joint industrial agreement and ths
more conservative attitude on the part of
trade union leaders in discouraging the
resort to strike unless fund TO be abso-
lutely unavoidable. The sympathetic strike
in Massachusetts, it is said, is becoming
apparently weapon of the past.

Chicago, However, Cannot Operate
Her Street Railways.
Under the result of the Chicago city
election, in which the question of mu-
nicipal ownership of the street railways
coed to acquire and control the rail
ways, but cannot operate them. At the
same time the voters, while declaring
that the city shall not proceed to oper-
ate the railroads, declared that as a
question of public policy it would be
desirable for the city to do so. Three
propositions were. submitted to the
voters, the first of which was: Shall
the city of Chicago proceed to operate
street railways?"
This proposition required 60 per cent
of the total vote cast in order to become
effective.
The total vote cast on the question
of municipal ownership was 231, Ill.
Of this number 120911 were cast in
favor of municipal operation of the
street railways and 110,260 against it.
In order to become binding the propo-
sition to operate the railways should
have received 1873, 703 votes. 1t there
fore fell short of the required number
by 1892 votes.
The proposition to issue $75,0O0,0O0
in street railway certificates was car
ried by a vote of 110,00S against 1O6-
669. The question of public policy was
carried by a vote Of III $50 to 10S,025.
This question has no legal effect what
ever, it being simply ''Shall the City
Council proceed without delay to secure
the municipal ownership and operation
of the street railways under the Muel-
Ter law instead of granting franchises
to private companiesW
Mayor Dunno construed the passage
of the $75,000,000 certificate and pub
lie policy propositions as a victory for
municipal ownership, but expressed his
disappointment over the defeat of the
proposition for municipal operation.
The election was one of the most in
teresting to Chicago voters that has
been he'd in many years. The vote was
much larger than had been expected,
and all day the contest for and against
municipal ownership was bitterly
fought. Party lines were largely ig-
nored and the eligibility of candidates
depended more upon their attitude to-
ward munipical operation of street cars
and high licenses for saloons than upon

CLEVELAND CAR COMPANY WINS
Supreme Court Rules Against City
i'm Suit Involving 3-Cent Fare.


The case of the city of Cleveland versus
the Cleveland Electric Railway Company
was decided by the federal Supreme
Court in favor of the company. The
case involved the right of the city to grant
a charter to new street car line to OPP
crate in Woodland avenue in the face of
the contention of the old company that its
charter had not expired. The opinion was
by Justice McKenna. This case presented
phase of the effort to force 3-cent fares
on the street railways in Cleveland. The
electric company claimed the control of
the city streets until 1908 and the action
was begun by the company to contest the
grant of a charter by the city to the For
est City company for line along Wood
land avenue. The old company attacked
this charter as a violation of its contract
with the city under it's own charter and
charged the granting of it to be "a part
of the conspiracy between the city and the
Forest City company to compel the old
company to submit to 3-cent fares" The
old company asked the courts to declare
the new company's charter null and void
and to restrain it from proceeding. The
Circuit Court granted this prayer and
the city appealed to the Supreme Court.

John Alexander Dowie arrived in Chi
cago at Q a. m. Tuesday. Instead of go
ing direct to Zion City he proceeded i'm
mediately to the Auditorium Annex in
Chicago. 1t was reported that a deputy
sheriff attempted to serve some kind of a
legal document upon the First Apostle"
but one of Dowie's followers pushed the
deputy sheriff aside and prevented service.
Dowie made the following statement :
THAT fight that will make TO regain
my prestige in Zion will be legal one
/ do not think it wise for me at this time
to proceed at once to Zion, as | fear my
enemies have set trap and would do
bodily injury to me. ! shall not turn back
from Zion, but as soon as ! am armed
with the proper weapons, which will be
the necessary legal document, l shall pro-
coed there and take possession"
Dowie was in jOvial mood in excel
lent spirits, and his health, upon reaching
Chicago, was better than at any time dur
ing the trip from Mexico.
When the train rolled into the station
an immense throng was there to catch a
glimpse of the First Apostle" He was
given a most spectacular welcome. Cries
ranging from the Zionites' motto, God
Be With Thee" down to the irreverent
Good boy, Dowie," were showered upon
the old man in bewildering confusion. As
he walked through the crowd he was, for
time, in danger of bodily harm, so great
was the crush.

More snrlnglike weather
CHICAGO.

Chicago. has s's stimulated extended
-' activity in factory work,
distribution and agriculture. Tie eff
feet of the coal strike thus far has its
worst feature in the large number of
men in voluntary idleness and loss OF
wages. Fuel is in ample supply for
local needs, but prolonged negotiations
for a settlement would be harmful to
various interests and the exigencies of
trade at this time call for prompt end
ing of difficulties.
A notable Improvement this week is
the stronger demand IN the leading lines
of State street trade and liberal buying
of seasonable apparel, footwear and
household goods. New building work
and other construction is pushed rapid
~, this involving enormous demand for
heavy supplies of structural materials
and much effort to obtain prompt de-
liyeries. Raw supplies continue in un-
precedented absorption particularly
furnace product, steel, woods and leath-
or, and values have assumed further
strength in pig iron and hides.
While the number of visiting buyers
has decreased, the tobbing branches re-
main fairly active upon current selec-
tions in staples. but shipping rooms are
fully eXerted in forwarding interior
purchases Of dry goods, boots and shoes,
food products. furniture and clothing.
Advices from the farming sections sus-
tain former favorable reports as to con-
dition of growing crops. Mercantile cas-
ualties again are comparatively slight
and western collections make good
showing
Manufacturing effort derives encour-
8gement from the continued accumula-
ton of forward orders. The produc-
tons of pig iron and finished steel to
fulfill old contracts requires the use of
all available capacity in this district.
Furnace stocks are narrow, consump-
ton exhibits further expansion, and
bookings enter into the last half of
this year Railroad returns indicate
that the movement of commodities sur
passes all former records.

Welding Copper and steel.

A French engineer is now enlisting
American capital to develop his process
of welding copper and steel. 1t is ex-
pected that this combination will largely
take the place of solid copper in the trans
mission of electricity. 1t will also be use
full in the manufacture of cooking uten-

equipped at Chester, Pa, where steel in
COTS and bars will be turned out coated
