Are Made.
STRIKERS SLOWLY
GAINING GROUND
President Small Says All Reports
From Every Source Are En-
COuraging and That Men
VIII Win Their
Struggle.

Arkansas City, Kas., August 2S.-
The local office of the Western Union
Telegraph company, together with
all instruments office records and
furniture, was destroyed by fire ear
ly today. The building was saved.
The fire is believed 20 have been in
cendiary.
The union telegraphers are aiding
In search for the incendiary. They
are not openly charged with the
crime, and only a few people insinu-
ate that they caused the fire, direct
ly or indirectly.
No DIscouraging Reports
New York, August 2S.-President
$. j. Small of the striking telegraph
ers is carrying on an active campaign
from his quarters at the Astor house
He is in touch with the strike stu-
alton in Chicago, Washington, st.
Louis, Kansas City, Cleveland, Bos-
ton and other centers, and from not
one source was there a discouraging
report.
In spite of the continued state
ments of Western Union and Postal
officials that their business is running
nearly as well as usual the average
citizen who tries to use the telegraph
finds a decidedly different situation.
Complaints are pouring into the un-
ion headquarters from business mon,
who threaten suits against the COM
panies for non-delivery of kilograms.
Prospects Bright
Prospects were never brighter for
a successful issue of the strike" said
Mr.. Small. "The companies are in
worse shape today than they have
been at any time since the men walk
ed out. We have agents within ear
shot of every high official of the two
companies ana we know exactly
what the conditions are.
ut is positively known that the
Postal companies planned to pull off
a stampede yesterday mornig. They
failed utterly and the double line of
pickets which we threw around their
main office here had nothing to do.
Men Are Collapsing
"The strikebreakers are on the
verge of collapse. They have been
employed night and day and the de-
mands on them are more than any
human being can stand for more
than two weeks. In the Western
Union office chief operators and 9TH
er officials are working the keys in
an effort to keep up a pretense of
carrying on business.
THE Western Union abolished the
double pay system commencing yes
terday. One-half of the force work.
ing here last week failed TO report
after they had received their pay on
Friday"
Mr.. Small said he met Federal
Commissioner Neill in Chicago, but
that the meeting was purely social
and the strike was not discussed. He
added that the union was amply pre-
pared to support the strikers for two
months If necessary; also that the
executive board of the Federation of
Labor would I'm a day or two take UP
the matter of the federation's rela-
ton to the strike.

Mountainair, ~ NJ, August 2s.-
Especial. Howard Coleman, a
young engineer who formerly worked
on the Eastern Railway of New
Mexico, with s. A. Mccoy, near
near here last Friday. sick. left his
room Monday night while i'm de-
mented condition and wandered
away. Thus far searching parties
have been unable to find him and 1t
Is almost certain that he has perish
ed in the mountains. His mother,
who resides in Davenport, Ia, has
been notified by wire of his dlsap-
pearance.
Coleman, though a young man,
was an expert engineer, and he was
one of McCoy's favorite men. He had
been employed on the Eastern Rail-
way of New Mexico, or Belen cutoff
as 1t is more commonly known for
some time, and was well known all
along the line. OF late weeks he had
been working near Vaughn, and was
noted as one of the steadiest men on
the job.
While he was working at various
points along the cutoff he has re-
tained his residence at Mountainair,
which is at the top of the Abo pass
and famed for its excellent climate
and the beauty for its scenery.
suddenly Disappeared
Last Friday, after having suffered
with illness for some days, though
he kept at work, Coleman notified
his employers that he was too Ill to
work and he Immediately came to
his home here.
His condition became gradually
worse until Monday night. A nurse
who was I'm charge of the patient
that night, stepped out of the room
for moment. on his return, he
found that Coleman had left his bed
and a search of the house failed to
show any sign of the sick man. He
had been delirious at times, and as
none of his clothing was missing. 1t
became apparent that he had left the
house i'm a moment of delirium.
Searching Parties Unsuccessful
As soon as It was discovered that
he was missing, an alarm was given
and within short time a number
of men began a search for Coleman,
which up to the present time has
been unsuccessful.
The searchers have visited every
part of the mountain and canyons
near here, and carefully gone over
every possible place where a man
might lie hidden, but not a trace of
the missing man. further than a foot
print made by a bare foot near the
north end of the town, has been dis
covered.
Watchman Saw Figure
watchman on some machinery
In the cutoff yards here saw
figure fit past him Monday night
short time after Coleman had disap-
peared. but before he could locate
the movement a second time, the
figure was lost to view. He believes
that it was Coleman, who, when he
left his room, as far as is known.
wore nothing except his night cloth
ing
The search will be kept up until It
is positively known that the young
man Is dead or until he is found
alive, though scarcely anyone now
expects to find him alive, as his con-
dition at the time of his disappear
ance was such that the exposure
would undoubtedly have killed him.

CONFESSION
Awakened Suddenly by Of
fiCeT. He Admits Having
Killed Negro.
HAS BEEN DODGING
FOR PAST TWO YEARS

Chicago, August 2S.-The old say
ing that murder will out,
came true in an unusual way last
night when Policeman Frank Walsh
awakened a man who was asleep in
a doorway at the Illinois hospital
The man opened his eyes, saw the
pOliceman's star, and leaping to his
feet, cried out, You want me for
murder. You are a policeman. -
Then he started to run but the po-
liceman captured him.
At the station he broke down and
confessed that he is Charles F.
Burbage, wanted in Greenleaf S. c.,
with a man named w. II. Hawley
for the murder OF a negro named
Gus Tanner two years ago. He said
Hawley so far has escaped arrest and
that he had been a fugitive for two
years.
Order Him Held
Columbia, ;. c., August 2S.-Gov-
ernor Anseps secretary has wired
Chief Shippey OF Chicago to hold
Burbage pending an investigation of
the case.
Inquiry here has elected the fact
that killing took place at Green
leaf two years ago, two white men,
Burbage and Hawley becoming in
volNed in "A row with the negro, Gus
Tanner which finally resulted in
Tanner being beaten and shot to
death There has never been any
great effort made to apprehend eth
er Of the two men and II Is prob
able that Burbage might never have
been arrested had he not diyulged
his guilt.

Proprietors Of Butte Papers Refuse
Consent to Demands Of Stereotypers.

Butte. Mont, March 27.-With the
exception Of the Stereotypers' Union.
every labor organization connected
with the newspapers here has signed,
or expressed a willingness to sign a
contract which had been prepared by
the publishers. 1t now appears that
the stereotypers demand that increased
wages, voluntarily paid by the pub
fishers to the more skilled men, be
adopted as the regular scale. The
publishers refuse to pay these wages
under forced action.
The publishers Of the Butte Miner,
the Anaconda Standard, the Butte In
Mountain, and the Butte Evening
News, last night organized a publish
ers' association, the object of which is
to be protected against what are term
