DAY SOUNDS WARNING
DEFENDER OF CORPORATIONS
PAINTS A PICTURE OF CHAOS.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, June 1O.-Commence-

"Our condition today is the result of an
attempt upon the part of our millennium
makers to set aside the principle of Christ,
that the wheat and the tares shall grow
together and to force by legislation an
order of things unnatural, unreasonable and
impossible. The great hosts of the people
are in one common confusion. No one of
them seems to be of sufficient commanding
ability and influence to assemble the pub

rection. There is no difference in political
parties; each clamorS that it is the author

ments which hitherto have been considered

PRINTER DROPS DEAD
END OF FAST OF NINE DAYS BY
JOHN sWERDFIGER.

A fast of nine days proved too great
strain upon the system of John II. Swerd-
flyer forty-eght years of age, who was
compositor in the government printing Of
flee and this morning shortly after he
reached his place of employment, he
dropped dead, His death proved to be a
severe shock to those with whom he az
filiatcd. including members of the socialist
party and of the Economic Educational
League. Mr.. Swerdtger was vegetarian,
and was greatly interested in the work of
the physical culture organization. 1t is
said several thousand persons connected
with the latter organization began the
first of the month fast of thirty days,
and during the nine days Swerdfiger
had partaken or nothing but water
Members of the society say, however, his
fast was not in any way the result OF It's
teachings.
Friends Of his had tried to induce him

could successfully pass the oreal, and re-
fused TO take anything but water. While
his way to the printing office this morn
ing he felt the effects of his fast, 1t Is said.

was stricken just after he left the elevator.
however and before he could reach his
case.
Death occurred before physician could
do anything for him. Acting Coroner
GlazebrOok gave permission for the re-
moval Of the body to an undertaking estab-
lishnent. and later in the day gave a GER
tifCate of death from heart failure.
Swerdfger came here from Pasadena,
CAL and was given a position in the gov
eminent printing office about five years ago.
He made his home In the building at l. c
street northwest where the organizations
with which he was connected hold meet
ings. He leaves a brother and sister, the
former being George Swerdfiger. who is
printer in California. and the latter is Mrs.

be a land agent in the same state.
Members of Columbia Typographical
Union have notified his brother and sister
of his death. and until they are heard from
the arrangements for the funeral will not
be completed. 1t is likely that the body
will be cremated as he had often stated
that his body should be disposed of in that

STRIKE DECISION FRIDAY.
Telegraphers Expect to Hear From the
Western Union on Thursday

NEW YORK, June 1O.-Whether or not
there will be a strike of the telegraphers
against the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany will be known positively Friday. The
officers of the union will wait until Wednes-
day evening or Thursday morning for a re-
ply from the board of directors of the COM
pany. which meets on Wednesday.
Secretary-Tre Wesley Russell of
the union arrived here from Chicago yes
terday and had talk with President S. j.
Small at the Aston House. He brought his
check book with him as treasurer of the
union, which has a $4,000 fund. At the
meeting of the national executive commit
tee today a motion will be adopted to
raise defense fund of 100000 by an as
sessment of 81 per week per member In
case of a strike the assessment will be
raised to 81 a member.
The executive committee will meet at the
Astor House at i pm. and go over all the
grievances. They look for an answer from
the Western Union directors on Thursday
morning.
At the Astor House last evening Mr..
Russell said:
THE feeling in the west is that the ex-
ecutive committee and the president should
be sustained in all that they do in the pres
ent emergency. II necessary they can call
strike for the demands. The local unions
throughout this country and Canada have
already voted to go on strike if necessary
so that in order to strike referendum vote
is not required. The executive committee
can call a strike in any locality at the re-
quest of the president. | cannot conceive
however. that there will be strike be-
cause the demands of the telegra piers are
just ans equitable.
while We are hopeful that everything
will turn out all right. we are making every
preparation for emergencies in case the de-
mands are refused and we are compelled to
strike. We are not looking for trouble
but If il comes we will meet il. and for that
reason we are raising a large defense fund
In the event of strike we will have the
material and hearty assistance of the rail-
road telegraphers. who 5000 strong
and who have $4,000 in the treasury of
their union"

raphers' Union received this message from

Interest in Dreyfus Case.

During the Dreyfus case he acted as the
intermediary between the kaiser and the
French government, and furnished the lat
ter with proofs of the innocence of Capt.
Dreyfus. He Is perhaps the only man in
all Europe who knows the truth concern
ing the extraordinary drama. Others have
had the advantage of side lights only. and
could only venture a guess. The Prince OF
Monaco was in the thick. and was enabled
to take fair and a judicial view of all of
these matters, affecting. as they did, the
French as we'll as the Germans the He
brewS and the anti-Hebrews. He was the
last person whom NJ. Felix Faure saw. 1t
was half an hour after the Prince of Monaco
left the Elysee that Faure was struck by
that apopleptic stroke which carried HIM
Berlin, and the communication which he
brought the president of the republic in re-
gard to the Dreyfus affair was such that
NJ Felix Faure saw that it would be pos
sible to resist the demand for a revision.
The president of the republic was, how
ever, menaced by one of the anti-Dreyfus
leaders a member of the chamber, and the
owner of a powerful newspaper, with GER
tain revelations of a scandalous nature into
his (the president's) family If he dared to
make any move to have the sentence OF
Capt. Dreyfus revised. These revelations
did not affect the president directly. but
concerned a relative by marriage. but all
the same the scandal would have been
great. 1t was the terrible dilemma In
which he found himself that brought about
the second apopleptic stroke to which he
succumbed. So bitter were the Quarrels be-
tween the Dreyfus and the ant-Dreyfus
parties just about that time that there
were even wild rumors afioat to the effect
that he committed suicide rather than face
the crisis which he saw existed.
Since then the Prince of Monaco has
again put his good offices at the disposal
of the French and the German govern
ments He has done his best to smooth
away the Morocco embroglio. This has
earned for him, among other things, the
Order of the Black Eagle.

A SYNDICATE OF KINGS
MOVEMENT FOR STATUE TO
PRINCE OF MONACO.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

MONTE CARLO. June 1O-The latest thing
in syndicates is a syndicate of kings, which
has been got together by the German EN-
peror The object of its formation was to
present to the Prince Of Monaco his staue
in recognition of his service to science. 1t
is to be erected in the Museum Of Deep Sea
Exploration, erected by the Prince of Mon
AGO near Monte Carlo The money for this
monument has been raised by the kaiser
and the sovereigns of Europe. The execu-
ton Of the monument was intrusted to M.
Denys Puech, the celebrated French sculp-
tor 1t represents Prince Albert on the
bridge of his yacht, his marine glasses in
his hand, looking thoughtfully out into the
distance.
The news that the kaiser has taken the
leading part in the erecting OF this monu-
ment has not given much pleasure In Ber-
lin, where the Prince Of Monaco happens
not to be very popular. In political circles
it is considered that the Prince of Monaco
is not popular, being looked upon simply an
underpaid French ambassador, and that he
deyotes his whole influence with the en-
peror (Which happens to be considerable
whenever the kaiser happens to have feel
ing of loneliness) to furthering French In
terests. In church circles, which In bernn
means the encourage of the empress, the
fashion in which the prince earns the enor-
nous revenues Of which he disposes are not
approved. while the old Prussian ariStocracy
is inclined to look down upon prince VINO
is the stipendary of the Blanc family and
the Societe des Bains de Mer de Monte
Carlo. The latter harmless sounding name
is the official title of the company which
runs the gambling establishment.
His Attitude on Gambling.
1t is probable that the prince would reply
that 1t was not he who created the present
state Of affairs, but that he succeeded to
1t as a heritage. He might also declare
that people will gamble, and that they had
better do 1t at Monte Carlo. where the
honesty with which the tables are run Is
above suspicion, than to do 1t in clandes-
tine fashion in the tripots of the, Riviera
or Belgium. The sacrifice that the Prince
of Monaco is asked to make in the name Of
morality Is considerable.
He draws revenues amounting to several
millions Of francs year from the estab-
lishment Of NJ Blanc, and without these
gambling establishments the revenues of his
tiny principally would be nil. Then his
subjects pay no taxes and their morality
is looked after by their being forbidden to
enter the gambling rooms except one day
in the year. when they (and they only on
that day. are. given the privilege of fiut-
ter at the tables. The gambling establish
