DECISION ON
STRIKE NATTER
Forbid Council 10 Call a
Wd|k0ut

CINCINNATI. Oct. 22.-The tenn
Of a strike by the International Press
mems union, for an eight hour day.
was made permanent yesterday by
United States Judge Thompson, who
cid that such action on the part of
unior. officers would be the breaking of
a valid contract.
The injunction was sought by the
United Typothetae of America and GER
ain publishing concerns in New York,
Chicago, st. Louis and Massachusetts
to prevent the defendants, officers and
members of the Pressmens union from
melting and carrying on a strike,
contract entered into last May and
running until January l. 1912.
According to this contract, the press
men We're to have nine hour day un-
Ill January 1, 1909, when the eight
hour day was to go into effec:, but the
union had demanded the immediate
acceptance of the eight hour day.
When the case was argued the de-
PENDANTS raised the question of juris-
diction, and the complainants moved
to amend the complaints so as to efm-
mate parties not Indispensable to the
suit, which motion was sustained to-
day, the court holding that it had jul
rsdiction in the case.
That the demand by the internation-
al union officers for an eight-hour day,
prior to the date agreed upon was vi
olative of their contract was the Opin-
ion of the court, but he said the men
as individuals could not be enjOined
from striking.
One of the points sought by the pc
tition was to enjoin the paying of
strike benefits. The attorneys for the
union pleaded for the benefciaries of
the strike fund. but the court sustained
the petition and the injunction. as is
sued, forbids the payment of strike
benefits or any action by the officers
of the union that would incite a strike
in contravention of the contract.

Kisses GREETED
EXPIRES. SMALL
Pathetic Appeal Falls on
Deaf Ears

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Followed by
jeers and Kisses, S. ]. Small, former
president of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union, left Ulrich's hall in
tears yesterday afternoon. He did not
get the vindication which he sought at
the hands of the rank and file of the
local union.
AS Small left the hall he APPEARED
broken hearted and declared he had
given up the fight for restoration to
his former position. His successor, W..
w. Beattie, of Washing,o on, who was
vice president of the organization, was
formally recognized as the new head
Of the union. He announced that his
policy would be an aggressive one.
When the meeting opened, President
Small. who had been waiting in an
anteroom for chance to be heard, was
invited 10 the platform. Hardly mad
he ascended the steps to the plat
form when a number of strikers got
ND and left the room. The others
hooted and hissed so that the words of
the former president were drowned In
a pathetic way he appealed to the older
members of the union saying he had
children and that they should not be
disgraced by the branding of their
father as dishonest without one bit of
evidence and without a hearing.
This appeal, however had little ef-
feet, although a great many of the
strikers after the meeting had ad-
iourned agreed that Small had beer
treated shamefully and at least should
have been received with common de-
cency.
1t was voted to assess broker AMI
leased wire operators two days pay
each week in lieu of calling them out
on strike.

FORMER PASTOR
SAYS FAREWELL
MEETING OF MEMS CLUB LAST
NIGHT TO BID GODSPEED TO
REV. RICE.

Last night in the basement of the
ular monthly meeting of the Mems
club was held. The meeting assumed
the nature of a farewell to Mr.. Rice, at
whose instiga ton the club was found
ed three years ago.
There was full attendance of the
club members to take part in this last
forewell to the man who has for the
past Line years, labored faithfully as
the pastor of the church.
D. " Mitchell, president of the club,
presided at the meeting and introduced
the speakers after the bountiful supper
prepared by the Ladies Aid society
had been disposed of. q
Prof. Bratton was the speaker of the
evening and spoke of the work the club
has done, on its origin and history. He
told of the three lines along which the
club has worked, general information
he social life and its spiritual infiu-
ence. The club has done much along
these three lines and has become use
full and permanent part of the church
In replying, Rev. Rice spoke of the
gratifying growth of the club, corre-
spending to the great growth of the
city and of the good the club has dohe,
more than fulfilling his expectations.
in closing, he expressed his regret in
leaving Walla Walla and the hope he
entertained of some day being able to
return to Washington-the state ne
loves best.
In behalf of the church and the
club, Allen Reynolds then presented
Mr. Rice with a purse of $50. 1t was
but poor way to show their love and
appreciation, Mr. Reynolds said, but
the gift contained their best wishes Tor
the success of their beloved pastor IN
his new fields. Mr. Rice replied in a
few well chosen words, after Which the
club adjourned that the members
might meet Mr.. Rice personally. MI
Rice left last night for Wakeheld,
Mass. where he will join Mrs. Rice ana
.ake up the pastorate of the Congre-
gational church there.

STILL EXCITING
Gas Bag Flight Witnessed

CHICAGO, Oct 21.-The contestants
in the International balloon race have
broken into two separate columns.
Two balloons, one of which is pilOted
by Major Hersey of the u. S. army
are now floating over Lake Michigan,
propelled by stiff northwesterly
breeze and should be next reported
near Ludington or Manistee. The sec
ond column, which has covered abour

the higher altitude, are floating along
"a more sOutherly course and are going
much slower. Caught up by a soft
east wind which veered slightly to the
north the big gas bags We're waited
over Illinois and at dawn We're sighted
by the Hoosier farmers. one balloon
bag as yet unidentified, passed Lafay
cite at o'clock this morning. This
bag is apparently leading the south

caught the outer rims OF the same
wind belt that is carrying the two
northern bags and may be expected to

MAX SMITH IS
TO FACE TRIAL
WIDOW ASKS COURT TO CANCEL
ALLEGED FRAUDULENT
DEEDS.

PORTLAND, Ore, oct. 22.-Charg-
ing that she was defrauded IL years
ago by Max Smith, who was executor
of her husbands estate, Christine Sech-
TEN appeared before Circuit Judge
Frazier this morning to ask that deeds
granting the property to Smiths wife
be Cancelled and that he be ordered to
account for the rents he has received
from the property during the past -
years.
Mrs Sechtem is the widow of Louis
Sechtem, who died in November, 1894,
leaving half interest in 400 acres or
land in Columbia county and half in
terest in four lots at Seventeenth and

and had a dummy" buy them for
himself, taking the title in his wlfe5
name 1t is charged that Smith bought
the property for sum barely sufficient
to pay the costs of administration OF
the estate.
The half interest in the lots in Port
land, it is said, is worth nearly $4,000,
and Smith is alleged to have bought
them for S3250. It is charged that the
property in Columbia county is worth
$50 an acre and that Smith bought it
for s1.S5 an acre, or 1870 for the half
interest, when it was worth $4,000.
Mrs. Sechtem has three daughters
and one son, who are beneficiaries un-
der the will. 1t is contended by Smith
in defense that there was a mortgage
of about $4,000 against Sechtem's
property. and that all the proceeds OF
the sales were required to satisfy the
mortgage. Additional testimony is be-
ing heard this afternoon.

TIMERS STAND BY
KELLY'S RECORD

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. Flat
denial of the charge made by Jack
King OF the MuItnomah club, that
Kellys time of 3-5 seconds for the
1OO-yard dash, now accredited to him
as the worlds amateur record, was
faxed, is made by ]. L. O'BHien, one
of the official timers who held the
watch on the day that Kelly ran on
the track of the Spokane Interstate
fair grounds a year ago. Mr.. O'Brien
says:
II have not the slightest idea what
motive Mr.. King had in making such
charges against Kelly; but the charge
made that the record was faxed is
absolutely and unQualifiedly false. My
watch, that of A, D. Campbell and Of
E. Sargent, all of whom are Spokane
men, showed 93-5 seconds; the watch
of Multnomah's timer, whose name
was Blumenthal, showed 92-5 Sec
onds. In the 220-yard dash two
watches showed Il seconds fiat, two
showed FL LIS, and the time was Civ
en- out as 81 LIS. There was no dis
position on our part to shave the
time made. It wasn't our man win
ming; why should we? / have timed
races, both runners and bicycle riders,

RIVAL TEAMS
IN CLOSE FIGHT

The greatest race for a pennant in
that between the four leading clubs
of the American league The fans, not
only of the towns comprising Ban"
Johnson's circuit, but all over the
United States, are anxlously specu-
lating on the chances of one or the
other of the quartet of splendid
teams engaged in the struggle. One
day Philadelphia is in the lead, then
Chicago Chambers to the first position
and then again Detroit makes a sue
finally there is the Cleveland outfit
always threatening and showing
promise of blasting the hopes of the
first-named trio.
1t is a great race and is due princi-
pally to the peerless leadership pos
sessed by Connie Mack, odd Roman"
Comiskey, Hughie Jennings and Ma
poleon Lajoie, the four greatest base
ball leaders the game knows today.
BY this statement McGraw. Barney
overlooked, for in the last worlds
championship series Commy, who Is
on a par with Mack, Jennings and La
joie, demonstrated that he was a
greater general than the clever man
ager Of the Chicago Colts, and as
Chance had put it all over Muggsy
and the Pirate leader, it is obvious
that the American quartet are the
peers of any in the baseball game to-
day.
One of the four teams will win the
American league pennant, but which
one is the question that will probably
not be solved until the last game is
played. The foxy Quakertown leader
has really the best end of the argu-
ment, for nearly all the Athletics re-
naming games are scheduled for the
home lot, while Detroit, Cleveland and
Chicago have but half the remainder
at home.
