Completely Tied up. -

Completely Tied Up. -
New York, Oct 26.-Three hundred
chauffeurs employed by the New York
Transportation company, which oper-
ateS $50 public electric cabs, went on
strike during the day for an increase
in wages. As a result nearly all the
cabs remained in the big garage at
Fiftieth street and Eighth avenue.
The men declare that they are com
PEELED to report for work at the garage
every morning at 7 o'clock and some
days they are not given any work at
all. They are paid at the rate Of I62s
cents an hour for what time they
work -
They demand for the chauffeurs for
ordinary electric machines a uniform
wage of 81 for twelve-hour day. An
other Of the grievances is the cost OF
the uniform they are compelled to
wear. For the drivers of vehicles
hired to private families the men de-
mand $3.50 per day, instead of $2.Si,
the amount they are now receiving.
A nonunion man who attempted to
take one of the electric vehicles from
the garage was set upon by a crowd OF
strikers and was being roughly ham
died when he drew a revolver and
fired into the crowd No one was hit.
Two arrests were made. i

the dense smoke and had to be carried
out by the sfiremen. But many were
able to escape down the ladders with

their attention to the people above.
AS the ladders did not reach above
the third floor the men on the fourth
floor literally pitched their wives and
children down to the firemen on the
ladders and then jumped down them
selves. Some of the more excitable
ones jumped to the ground and were
either killed OF badly injured. Some
whom the sfiremen tried to catch fell
the entire distance to the ground.
Only the south side walls of the
building remain standing. The interior
construction was entirely of wood and
the stores on the ground floor and the
rooms on the upper floors contained
much inf1ammable material. The en-

DAMAGES CLAIMED
Illinois Operator Would Enforce the Holiday Provision Of
Wage Scale Assert Union Violated Agree.
Ilent by Not Working Oct. z

Chicago, Oct 26.-The executive
boards of the Illinois Coal Operators
association and of the Coal Miners
union met here to adjust certain diff
ferences. The chief matter slated for
discussion is the fact that the miners
have been making a holiday of Oct.
II, the anniversary of riot at ,Yirden,
ILL.,, in which a number Of men were
killed. The operators declare this mol
iday is a direct violation of the agree
ment between the miners and the OPP
orators. 4 .s:=ss
The operators presented to the min
ers bill for $3.50, 900. which they de
manded should be paid on account OF
! the holiday taken by the miners on
the anniversary Of the Virden riot
The demand Of the operators is based
on an agreement between the miners
and operators which declares thai
holidays shall be taken only on certain
specified dates and that the sum d
$40 shall be paid by the union to the
operators for every man who fails t.
work on other days. -:
The assertion IS made, by the oper
ators. that the taking OF the holiday OF
Oct. II was contrary to agreement an,

DARING
PLOT TO BREAK JAIL FAILS, BUT
TWO KEEPERS ARE sERl.
OUSLY WOUNDED.

New York, Oct. ga daring at
tempt to liberate fifteen prisoners
from Harlem Jail was frustrated dur

had been SO severely beaten that he
may die and another sustained a
broken arm and serious bruises. Henry
Curtin, a prisoner who had gained the
confidence of the prison officials and
had been permitted unusual liberties
about the prison, is charged with be-
ing the leader of the outbreak and
with inHicting the injuries upon the
prison guards.
Curtin had been detailed as a
Waterman on one Of the upper tiers.
As Edward M. Cuskley, one of the
regular keepers, reached the third tier
on one of his half hourly rounds Cur
tin sprang from dark corner and
struck him over the head with a
wrench. Cuskley fell to the floor and
Curtin ran to the cell of Albert Ian

to open the door. While he was strug-

"A fierce fight for possession of the
wrench followed. The keeper called
for help, while the prisoners jeered at
him and cheered Curtin on. Cuskley
gradually was getting the upper hand
when suddenly Curtin drew back and,

twice into the keepers side and then

Havana, Oct. 90 General Bell has
returned here after a tour OF inspec-
ton Of the American garrisons, going
as far as sCienfuegos. He reported
that It was necessary at the city Of
Santa Clara and some other points to
provide permanent quarters for the
troops and Governor Magoon has de-
cided to utilize, wherever it is neces-
sary, the old Spanish barracks now
used for schoolhouses. In making
this arrangement Mr.. Magoon said
that in view Of the fact that the troops
were not likely to remain more than a
few months he believed it would be
unjust to impose on the Cuban treas
ury the cost Of erecting barracks. The
schools, he added, would only be used
when other quarters were not avail

Kansas City, Oct 26.-In the ruins
of the Chamber Of Commerce building
in Kansas City, Kan, destroyed by
fire early in the day, there are any
where from half a dozen to thirty bod
les, according to estimates given. out
by firemen who had worked at the
scene all night. On the other hand
Assistant Fire Chief Lind insisted that
the dead would not reach over six. In
addition fifty persons were injured,
several Of whom will die. The actual
loss of life will not be known until a
thorough search of the ruins can be
made, probably not then, as some of
the firemen assert that many bodies
must have been burned to ashes. The
building, used as a tenement house
and containing 100 rooms, held as near
as can be learned between 200 and 300
persons at the time the fire broke out.
Most of these composed families,
many others were transients, whose
names are unknown. It was the GUS
tom for many of the transients, who
came mostly from the nearby railroad
yards, not to register and thus all
trace Of them Is lost for the time be-
Ing. Only thorough search of the
ruins that may take days and an exact
accounting of the missing will finally
reveal the extent Of the catastrophe.
The fire broke out on the ground
floor from some unknown cause at
1890 a. m. Isolated as 1t was the
burning building was difficult Of access
and Il was some time before the fire
department reached the scene. Sew
eral companies were at fire IN an
other part OF the city. 3.. 's3 ls
When the hremen arrived the en-
tire building was Id flames. So quick
" did the flames spread that within
q few minutes after the, fire was dis
covered ali means Of escape by the
stairways for the scores Of occupants
was shut of. On two sides of the
building the elevated railway tracks
hemmed it in and made stflI harder
the work OF the fremen. Then an
other obstacle arose. The fremen did
not have sufficient ladders and many
OF those they had were too short to
reach the upper stories. a sitting
smoke filled the building. evidently
coming from the burning stocks Of
merchandise ON the floor below, and
some Of the occupants probably were
never able to leave their rooms.
Upper Floor Occupants Cut Off
When the tiremen arrived they saw
men hanging from windowsills on the
upper floors and frantic women with
babies Id their arms and children
|clinging to them leaning far ont from
