DEUTSCHLAND AFTER RECORD
Unheralded, German Greyhound i.
Crossing Atlantic La Provenc,
After Ribbon,

New York, Sept. 1s-Unheralded and
with not even a wireless dispatch to
show her position on the ocean, the
Hamburg-American flyer, Deutschland,
is on her way to this port trying for
new record westward across the At
lantic. While 1t is not admitted by
Hamburg American officials that the
Deutschland is out for record, those
who know say the big German boat
will be pushed harder this trip than
at any time since she was launched
On the next westward trip, leaving
Liverpool Oct. 5. the record breaking
Cunard liner, Lusitania, will have a
competitor in the swift French liner
La Provence, which will leave Havre
the same day.
The French line today, according to
official advices received in this city
from Paris, practically challenged the
giant Cunarder to race for the 5lue
ribbon of the seas by changing the
sailing time of La Provence from Sept
% to Oct. 5.

Private in Cuba During Late War Now
a Millionaire.

Washington, Sept. 18.-Washington
has pricked up eager ears at the news
of a suit filed in New York city against
Frank Steinhart by II. j. Reilly, con-
tractor. Reilly vaguely threatens to
make this suit tell tales out of school
about certain affairs in Cuba where
Steinhart was consul general until
July i, when he became manager of the
Havana Street Railway Company.
Reilly claims that Steinhart owes him
some $4,000 on a street railway deal
closed in April, while Steinhart was
still consul general.
There is a keen appetite in official
circles here for any light on the career
of the man who entered Cuba as a

revolution" yesterday in a tight
which is to be waged against the un-
ions of the United Mineworkers, head
ed by John Mitchell. thruout the
southern part of the state. "
Among the things advocated in con-
nection with the movement was the
immediate abrogation of contracts with
employers and the abolishing of rich
union treasures, which were declared
by delegates to be curses" upon work.
ingmen The S85O,OO0 fund collected by
the Illinois miners was described by
Secretary w. E. Trautmann as "em-
ployers' money!" He said it was de-
posted in banks owned by mine oper-
ators and therefore was tainted.
John Mitchell, Samuel Gompers,
head Of the American Federation of
Labor, and other national labor lead
ers were assailed in bitter speeches by
the delegates. They were characterized
as "fakers" and were declared to be in
league with employers.
M. w. Fenning, miner from Pana-
ma, ILL.,, asked to be seated as dele
gate and said hundreds of mine en-
ployes will join the new union and
take part in the proposed strikes. He
was given place in the convention.
The industrial workers also decided
to send a committee to invite the strik-
ing telegraphers to join their organiza-
ton. One delegate, George Speed, ad-
dressed the operators in the afternoon
and advised general sympathetic
strike, including railway telegraphers
and all the telegraph employees in the
