The Entire Continent to be
Included in the Embrace
OF the Movement -Includ-
edAssOciated Press, West
ern Union and Postal Union.

Boston, Aug. 13.-Following orders
from Deputy President Percy Thomas
of the New York local, President James
j. MeGearty of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union this morning called out
all the operators in Boston and com.
panies operated with New York officers
in extending the strike to all New En-
gland points. About 600 men Of the
Western Union and the Postal offices,
including the operators manning special
wires in newspaper offices were expected
to quit work by noon. Few operators
remain at the keys in the financial
houses, where they have contracts.
1t is probable that the wires all over
New England viii be tied up before
night.
Reports from other citiss, received
this morning, show that the strike has
reached Pittsburg, Pa, where 200 union
men have already quit and 300 more are
expected TO join them today. Two
hundred men and women, or about 95
per cent. of operators employed By
both companies are out in Washington.
The day force of the Western Union in
Cincinnati failed to report this morn

York To call out all operators Of the
Associated Press in New England.

Eat VS.. EAT.
Game Of the Season at Intercity Park
Tomorrow Afternoon.

The fans of Barre are all going to
see Fat vs.. Fat tomorrow afternoon in
the base ball game Of the season. Mont
pelier has d great team and the Bottom
Bases win have to hustle.
II would not seem that Green as pitch
err has anything on Reynolds, Mute or
Gall. Club Wales ought to hold his
own against Beef Standish. Punch Dali
ey has kept in practice, but Alexander
should be all right on first base. Tilden
at second would appear the equal Of
Lowe. Bergeron at short stop looks
good against Goss, while Kelley ID OPP
posed on third base by Rowland. AL
though Small Mctsowan and Morse have
not been seen in the game for few
years, they should not be Obliged to
take back water from Holmes, Wright
and Brown.
With Aver, jackson, Faulkner, Welch,
Wood, Burke, Mills, Chandler, Calder,
Pape, McIver and McHugo to help out
in the succeeding innings, the dope sheet
would indicate no wallS-over for the
heayyweiqhts down the Onion.
You win want to see the procession
of fats before the first inning, the run
ming race and hear the band play, be-
sides seeing real base ball game.
What Is base ball? The national game,
you say. TO be sure, but whyf Not
because thousands Of dollars are paid
professional players every year in sal
aries, but because men and boys, fathers
with their boys, but all kids together
get out and play just for the fun of
the thing. Did you ever see a fan too
old to get really excited over good
gamer No, and YOU never viii.
The game tomorrow will be just as
interesting game as though oil the
boys were paid money, and lot more
fun.
Now just word about league base
bah. II is believed that the Intercity
association has tried to give the twin
cities real good, clean ball. 1t is con-
ceded that they have succeeded. 1t was
no fault OF theirs that elements beyond
their control placed the game on los
ing basis.
What do you say, fansf Shall we not
all take hold and while enjoying some
rich sport help whittle few shavings
off that stick err We will all meet at
Intercity park tomorrow afternoon. You
viii not be Obliged TO carry cot beds
or walk home. The M. &. w. will have
cars there to bring all back at the close
Of the game.

R I'D WAY TELEGRAPHERS
MAY GO ON STRIKE
NoEld Tie Up Nearly Every Railroad
81 the cOuntry-Men Have the
Strike Fever.

flIicago. Aug IA strike of the Or
8gfof Railway Telegraphers which has
HsEatofore been regarded as remote
possibility, today looms up as decided
H3ebability. A general strike Of this
eNanization now would tie up virtually
sffEy railroad line in the country. But
KAf Strike fever has caught the members,
and officers are having difficulty to keep
n in line If the men are forced
~ handle message sent by non-union
trike-breakers, there is little doubt but
that they will 60 out. The Northwest
ern railway furnishes critical point.
1t is claimed that it is sending thinly
yelled commercial messages over its
wires, and early today II was served
with an ultimatum that the practice
must stop.

KING ESTATE SETTLED.
Niece and Daughter Establish Claims
to $4,000.

The long case c0Kce rning the dis
srsbution OF the estate Of the late
Jerry King has Just been settled In
the Pennington county circuit court
King. who lived liz that county fof
many years and had cleaned up for.
tune amounting to $4,000, left some
interesting legal questions to be set,
tied by Judge and jury. The first in
teresting question was whether or not
his niece, Miss Corinne Ray. was en-
titled to $4,000 in certificates on the
Pennington County bank, which her
uncle gave her shortly before his
death. He handed them to her with
the remark that this was to be her
share OF the estate. However. the
certificates were no Endorsed. The
administrators therefore claimed that
they were valueless, and that King
died interstate. The jury took differ.
emit view OF the question and rendered
4 verdict In favor OF Miss Ray, giving
her $11.000 with interest, amounting
IN all to nearly $4,000. The second
question was the establishing Of the
identity of Mrs. Flora Belle Hollis Of
Ellsworth, Me-. who claimed to be the
daughter OF King Mrs. Hollis brought
from the Eastern state asnumber of
witnesses to establish her claim. and
offered as one of the most telling bits
OF evidence Black Hills gold ring
given her by King on his last visit,
and engraved ON the inside to show
tt was from her father. The court
decided In her favor. and she will re-
ceive the rest of the estate, valued at
about $4,000.
Unless appeals are taken. these two
estates will stand. Additional claim
snts are turning up every few min
ntes. however. in yarions parts of the
country. some of them In Canada. and
the final settlement OF Jerry Kings
gold still may be In the future.
