At ALL FRENCH PORTS
General Strike Of Sailors Of Ma"
val Reserve in Effect. .
OVER 100, 900 MEN Affected

Reports indicate That the Tieup Is
Complete and a Total Paralysis Of
French Commerce Is Threatened as
Result.
Paris, June 1.-French commerce is
threatened with complete paralysis as
result of the general strike Of sailors
belonging to the naval reserve, which
went into operation at daylight at all
the ports Of France. The naval re-
serves comprise almost the entire
maritime population devoted to sea-
faring life. They number about Ill.,
600 men, of whom $4,000 belong to the
war feet. Practically the entire per-
sonnet of the merchant marine as we'll
as the longshoremen are inscribed in
the naval reserve. The executive
committee of the National Seamen's
union ordered the strike because the
members Of the union regard the gov
ernment's new bill increasing pensions
from $4,000 to $3.50 in the case of
seamen and from $156 to $500 in the
case of cay aims as being inadequate.
The reports thus far received indi-
cate that the tieup is complete. At
the Meditei anean, Atlantic and Chan
mel ports the crews generally left their
ships. The government promptly Or
dered the army transports at Mar
settles to be placed in commission in
order to insure mail service between
France and her African possessions,
but the transportation companies were
taken by surprise and are at the
mercy Of the strikers. Generally the
companies are in a position to cOerce
the men, as, being members of the
naval reserve, the crews are subject
to heavy penalties for INSTRUMENTATION,
but it is regarded as more likely that
they will try to effect a compromise.

OF beverage.
The brewery employees have rebelled
against President Compers and the
national labor executive council and
they are to be disciplined. The method
adopted is that of expulsion.
Secretary Kemper of the local I'm.
ion said the 5000 brewery workers in
Chicago will go on brewing beer
whether the American Federation of
Labor regards it officially as "uniOn"
product or not.
The trouble has been growing for
several years. Two months ago the
national labor council met in Washing
ton and gave the Brewery Workers
union until June l to comply with an
order to GUST all engineers, firemen
and teamsters from it's organization.
These men were under the protection
Of the union, which was in conflict
with the principle Of trade autonomy
upheld by the federation The brew
cry employees then took vote and SO
per cent of the membership favored
resistance to the order, which brought
about the present situation.

BROTHERS WILL TESTIFY.
George and Frank Gould to Appear il
Divorce Case.

New York, June 1.-When Howard
Gould is hailed into court by the suit
for a separation brought by his wife,
formerly Miss Katherine Clemmons, it
is likely that his brothers George and
Frank will be called to testify in his
behalf. 1t was announced by an int1-
mate friend of Mr. Gould that although
it would be extremely distasteful to
members of the family to appear in
court the two brothers had expressed
their. willingness to do SO.
From present indications it seems
assured that the whole history of the
domestic troubles of Howard Gould
and his wife will come out when the
case is finally taken into court. How
ard Gould's reply to his wife's suit will
not be made public at least until June
6, which is the limit allowed by law.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Illinois Girl Kills Younger Sister and
Herself. 49,.

Herself. .g
Springfield, ILL.,, May Silt is now
deemed certain, from all evidence dis
covered that Cora Liederbrand, aged
seventeen, killed her little invalid sis
ter, Carrie, aged seven years, and then
killed herself with the revolver found
in the creek near where the bodies
were found floating, nine miles north
Of here.
1t is believed that after Carrie was
shot the body was thrown into the
creek by Cora, who then shot herself
and pitched forward into the water.
The father Of the girls, who found the
bodies, said Cora had complained re-
peatedly within the past few months
that the incessant care of her invalid
sister was an injustice to her, as it
did not permit her to enjoy the COM
partnership of other young girls. An
examination of the bodies showed
that the bullet wounds were in pre-
cisely the same relative positions, in
the temple, No other wounds were

The publication inspired Hagerman

tdent, In which he reviews his part in
the Pennsylvania Development COM
pany transaction and vigorously de-
tends himself against the charges
contained in the presidents letter. In
the presidents letter the administra-

as unsatisfactory and his conduct in
the Pennsylvania Development COM
pany transaction is characterized as
illegal and blameworthy."
The president says that but for the
former governors previous good rec
ord he would have been removed in

letter goes at length into Pennsylvania
Development company affairs and
quotes an opinion of Assistant Attor-
ney General Cooley which severely
critioises Hagerman's delivery of the

Special Efforts to Ferret Out Mem.
bers Of Society.


New York, June 1.-The recent at
tempt on the life of DR.. Markar Da-
dlrian, physician here, by means of
an Internal machine, has stirred the
police to special efforts to ferret out
members Of the sO-called "Black
Hand" in this city. The grand jury in
Brooklyn is making a special inquiry
into all outrages committed by the
''Black Hand" which are brought to
it's attention, while the judges of the
court Of general sessions in Manhat-
tan have asked the legislature to in
crease the penalty for extortion or
blackmail by threats Of murder from
five to twenty years imprisonment.
They believe such legislation would
have deterrent effect and lessen that
class Of crimes.
The New York police have as yet
found no evidence of any local branch,
but they admit that they find it diff
cult to get Italians to testify in re-
puted Black Hand" cases because of a
general fear of vendetta.

At TACK ON new LAWS

islatiOn Questioned.
STOCKHOLDERS BRING SUIT

Railroads, State Officials and Vari-
GUS Shippers Throughout the North
west Being Made Defendants.
st. Paul, June lon the ground
that the new commodity freight rate
law, In effect June / in Minnesota,
and the 2-cent passenger rate law,
which went into effect May 1, are In
contravention Of the provisions Of the
Constitution Of the United States
suits asking for an order restoring
the old rates were begun in the fed
eral court during the day.
Temporary restraining orders have
been signed by Judge Lochren Of the
United States district court against
the attorney general Of the state and
the Minnesota railway and warehouse
commission.
The suits are filed by stockholders
Of eight railroads doing Interstate
business in Minnesota. In the bills
the railways, as we'll as the state at
torney general and members Of the
railway and warehouse commission,
together with various shippers repre-
senting thousands Of railway patrons
in the, Northwest, are named as de-
PENDANTS.
In effect the railroads are suing
themselves with the object Of testing
the validity Of the new commodity
freight rate law and the 2-cent pas
senger rate law.
Eight Railroads involved.
The railroads named in the several
complaints are the Great Northern;
Northern Pacific; Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul; Chicago and Northwest
ern; Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha; Minneapolis and St..
Louis; Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault
Ste. Marie and Chicago Great West
ern.
The complaint in each of the suits
is virtually the same. The complain
ants in each are stockholders of the
roads named as defendants and the de-
PENDANTS include the state attorney
general, members Of the railway and
warehouse commission and shippers
over the line named in the bill.
The charges in each complaint are
that the new freight and passenger
rate laws enacted by the Minnesota
legislature are confiscatory in nature
and that they will work unfairly to
the railroads transacting Interstate
business.
Should the railroads be victorious In
having the temporary injunctions
made permanent it is believed the eff
feet will be sweeping throughout the
country in wiping out 2-cent passenger
rate laws.
