FREIGHT PILING UP.
Strike Situation at New York Docks
Grows More Serious.

New York, May 13.-There is no
change for the better in the dock sit
uatiOn, caused by the strike of the
longshoremen. Freight is piling up
at an enormous rate at all the docks
here and apparently the steamship
companies have but few men to move
it. The blockade is causing much in
convenience to shippers, and mer-
chants, transportation companies and
strikers are losing thousands of dol
lars daily. The loss to shipping in
terests alone is said to aggregate So
900, 900 thus far, while the loss in
wages to the lOngshoremen also runs
into seven figures. Neither side has
thus far shown any disposition to sur
that one side or the other must soon
give way, as the strike is paralyzing
the ocean freight traffic of the port,
condition that merchants can not
long permit to continue.
According to the strike leaders 3d.
600 Stevedores are on strike in Man
haitian, Brooklyn and Hoboken, and
considering the number of men out
the strike is remarkable Tor the lack
of disorder. There have been a few
scenes of disorder, but the rows have
been of no great magnitude and have
easily controlled by the police.
The Civic Federation, despite the
rebuffs of last week, will this week
renew its attempts to settle the strike
by arbitration. In this connection, it
is stated that Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, influential with workingmen
generally. has been called upon to en-
deavor to bring about a peace con-
ference. Mr.. Gompers is in Wash
ington and it is expected he will reply
today to the several messages sent
him on the subject.
The strikers, it is believed, are
ready to fail in line for arbitration,
but they want the steamship owners
to take the initiative. They believe
any move in this direction by them
would be construed as a sign of weak
ness, and want it therefore to come
from other quarter.
A feature of the strike in the last
few hours was the desertion of be-
tween two and three hundred strike
breakers from the White Star line
docks. The men grew tired of being
cooped up on the docks and left to go
to their families. 1t is feared that the
dissension will spread to the strike
breakers on the other piers.
President Corners of the Long
shoremen's union, says he expects the
tide water boatmen, who tow the coal
barges from the pockets to the
steamers. to strike in sympathy to-
day He also expects that the grain
elevator men will strike today. Should
these movements occur the shipping
embargo will become more serious
than ever.

An innovation that is without ques-

magazine publication has come with
the FIRST appearance OF the newest Mum
sey idea for July. Like all OF Munseyls
undertakings, it is q little startling. but
it will grow on you. Briefly, it is a
magazine In two volumes under sep

name is The Scrap Book-a magic
name that made a great magazine a
great success from the start. The
Scrap Book in its new form is the lars-
est magazine ever published. The first
section is practically an all-illustrated
magazine. Every phase of life, every
topic of interest Is told in picture and
story. The other half is 100 pages OF
pure hction-the kind that tugs at the
heart string, the characters in which
take the form of life and become your
acquaintance. The double magazine

The supreme court Of the state of
Washington has decided that the fact
that the university of that state vas
granted seventy-two sections of land
did not preclude 1t from sharing in the

ture of Washington gave 100000 of the
latter grant to the university and IL

FOR wYoMlNGs IMPROVEMENT.

Hon. w. r. Sohnitger, secretary OF
state, has just returned from a visit
to the east in the interests OF the work
OF the state board of charities and re-
form. At Minneapolis he attended the
national meeting of representatives of
state boards OF charities and had the
pleasure and profit of hearing Senator
Beveridge Of Indiana deliver his great
address upon child labor. Secretary
Of War Taft was also in attendance at
that convention.
At Fort Wayne Secretary Schnitger
found n of the finest homes for the
~feebleminded that exists. He was
greatly impressed with the thorough
ness with which such people are car
ed for at this place. 1t is the policy
to inculcate cleanliness nj industry
n to discover the particular talent
of each individual and in training TO
bring that uppermost. The home for
the feeble-minded at Waverly, Mass,
was also visited. The purpose OF the
visit to these homes was to discover
the best possible plans for the expend-
iture Of Wyoming's appropriation for
this purpose. Mr.. Schnitger realized
the futility of trying to accomplish any
thing like what has been performed
at either of the places visited. He be-
lieves it would be wise to first con.
struct an administration building with
sufficient wards for the accommoda,
ton of such persons as would be sent
to such an institution at present, leav.
ing the building of cottages, etc., to the
future. He would build the founda,
ton Of the institution broad enough
to meet such demands Is may be
made upon it in time to come.
During MT. Schnitger's absence he
also made some investigation looking
to the Improvement of the hot springs
at Thermopolis. He has long been Oh
the opinion that the idea that the hot
water coming from the great thermal
spring there could not be piped be-
cause Of %corrosion of the pipes was
all m~oonshine, n he has been able to
ecu expert corroborative testimony.
1t is the opinion OF one of the most
learned experts in the country, based
upon actual experience, that the water
may be piped n carried for years
without the pipes being in any way at
fected by deposit of mineral properties.
Mr.. Schnitger first reached this conclu-
sion by logical reasoning. He noticed
that the stones in the main spring
were not covered with any sediment
and that a deposit was only made
where the water was exposed to the
atmosphere or where spray fell. The
expert whom he has consulted says
that the only danger is from leaky
joints or at the outlets. The state
property at Thermopolis may be greatly
improved by putting in iron pipes for
the transmission of the water from the
springs. The secretary also has other
plans in mind for the betterment of
conditions there
