here that the superintendent of the
Western Union, with headquarters in
New York, has Informed the district
superintendent in Chicago that O. r..
Z. men are lending considerable aid
to the strikers.
The information that reached here
was to the effect that the superin-
|tendent had wired the Chicago man
that the O. r. T. men are holding up
Commercial business.
II must be recognized that the
trunk lines of both the Western Union
and Postal companies follow the rail
roads between the two largest cities
In the country and that each company
in most of the little stations has cut
wires into the railroad telegraphers'
rooms. This is for convenience. The
railroad operator is not supposed to
handle any commercial business as
long as he is busy with dispatchiag.
but can occasionally manage to do a
little work on the side 1t is said that
since the strike has been on the rail-
read men have had their ears glued to
the commercial wires, and. when they
hear some city in the East calling
Chicago. they ''cut I'm" with"Ch."
Thereupon the Eastern man, thinking
he has the main Office in Chicago,
starts to send. Sometimes the way
cross ham" will take the message,
other times he will ground the wires.
At any rate. when the message is fin
ished and il is time for the Chicago
operator to 30 X" the railroad man
gives the Fastener the signature of
some Chicago man which at some
time previously he has heard going
over the wires.
Thus it is easy to see that lots of
business can be diverted and that
Chicago strikebreakers will have little
or nothing to do II the o. X. r. men
continue these tactics.

DENoUNcEs DELEGATES.
st. Louis Grand Jury Scathingly
Arraigns the Assembly.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November 30.-The
October grand jury made a written report
to Judge Mueneh today covering the
progress of the work the body has ac-
complished and including a scathing de-
nunciation of the house Of delegates, the
lower branch Of the municipal assembly.
The report says concerning the house
of delegates:
This body as constituted and con-
trolled Is a menace to decency. order and
good government. and Is a disgrace to
the citizenship Of st. Louis. It is a
lamentable and regrettable fact that these
members who have the capacity and are
disposed to render honorable public serv-
ice are In a hopeless minority. subject to
the Hbes. taunts and billingsgate of those
who control
ut appears that the house is domi-
mated by an organization popularity known
as combine composed Of eighteen
members Of the body. 1t is evident to u.s.
and it is only fair to say. that all of the
members of the combine ARE not venal
and corrupt and that some Of them hon.
estly have felt themselves compelled to
join this majority in order to be in a
position to obtain legitimate legislation
for the constituencies which they repre-
oent."

days ago. after having admitted today
that he was a swlndler and had served
two years in prison at Cape Town, South
Africa was fined 500 or thirty days In
the workhouse on a charge of being a

His arrest was brought about here when

POLICE ARE WITHOUT news
LIEUT.. CRAWFORD'S ABSENCE
REMAINS A MYSTERY.
Maj. Sylvester Hopes to Locate Him
Others Fear He Committed
Suicide.

That Lieut.. John W. Crawford, secre-
tary to Admiral George Dewey, who dis
appeared from his home, 1902 G street
northwest, week ago last Friday, and
who was supposed to have committed sui
eide by jumping from the ferry boat
Lackawanna, Is still alive IS the opinion of
Maj. Sylvester. Statements made to the
police about the passenger on the ferry
boat caused the belief that the missing
man had jumped overheard, and men en-
ployed on the boat and others who were
about the wharf at $50 o'clock Friday a
week ago declared the lieutenant had no
package with him when they saw him.
They were not acquainted with him, how
ever. Miss Ella Griffin. who tells diff
ferent story, was actually acquainted with
him. She spoke to him. and readily re-
calls that he carried a small package. She
also states that he left the boat at Alex
andria. and, although he started in the
direction of the steamer after he landed.
she thinks he did not again board the
boat. Miss Griffin took so active an in
terest in the case and was so certain
about the appearance and movements of
the lieutenant that the police changed
their minds about what had actually hap
pened to the missing man.
Search by River Police.
Russell A. Dean, pilot of the police boat
Vigilant, who has had many experiences
with such cases as the one under investi-
CATION, has had charge of the work of
dragging the river for the body. During
the rainy weather Saturday and Sunday
he had the members of his crew out in
the small launch dragging the bottom of
the river, although he had grave doubts
as to the body being there. 1t was due to
the efforts of the pilot that Miss Griffin
was found and taken to police headquar-
ters to see Maj. Sylvester and Inspector
Boardman, and it was not until after Maj.
Sylvester had heard her statement that
he reached the conclusion the lieutenant
had left the city.
close personal friend of the missing man,
tina, he could hardly travel without being
seen and recognized"
In response to this the police say that
other men have gone away under condi-
tions similar to those in the case of Lieut..
Crawford and have afterward been found
at some distant place. Nothing was gained
by the members of the crew Of the police
boat by dragging the river.
Maj. Sylvester said yesterday he hoped
to be able to give out something definite
about the disappearance of the lieutenant
before tomorrow night. He had received
information, he said, that man answer
ing Crawfords description had been seen
at a point not very far away from here,
but not in the vicinity of the city. Mr..
Wilson. Lieut.. Crawford's friend referred
to. said last night he fears he committed
suicide.

DAWES ON THE PANIC.
He Exonerates President Roosevelt
From Responsibility.

ST. LOUIS. November 30.-Charles G..
Dawes Of Chicago. former controller of
currency, was the guest Of honor tonight
at regular dinner Of the St Louis Com
mereial Club. and made a speech concern
ing the present financial situation. its
causes and lessons"
He declared that President Roosevelt is
not responsible for the recent financial
stringency. despite opinions he'd by critics
of the President. and asserted that neither
could the responsibility for the monetary
crisis be assigned to any particular group
of Spectators in Wall street. He said the
stringency resulted from too great a dis
proportion between the cash in which
debts are redeemable and the debts them
selves.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 30.-A. I.
Vorys, manager for Secretary Taft, said
today, regarding Senator Foraker's presi-
dental candidacy:
"Ohio republicans have determined their
choice, and this preference is for Secre-

of the press of the state, by the public
and private expressions of state officials,
representatives, state legislators and
hundreds Of other active party men and
by the Endorsement of Taft by the state
committeeS by numerous county commit
tees and by other organizations of Ohio
republicans.
1.-The friends of Secretary -'aft, as l
have repeatedly said. will welcome an
early opportunity to submit the question
direct to Ohio lrepublica1s or their rep
