WARNING FULLY JUSTIFIED.
Significant Note Found in Drowned
Girls Pocketbook.

BRIDGETON, N. j., June 20.-"You'd bet
ter watch Mamie
This warning. contained in an unsigned
letter to her brother, Harold Vennell, was
found in a pockethook on the body Of
Mamie Vennell, the twenty-two-year-old
Bridgeton girl, drowned Tuesday night in
Sunset lake on the outskirts of this city
From what is said by Vennell and Mrs.
Sadie Murphine, with whom the brother
and sister lived, the warning was fully
justified
Vennell said today that his sister had
complained to him she had been attacked
by two young men while boating on the
lake one evening last week. She had
screamed Murder" and one Of her male
companions had tried to choke her. She
was rescued from her predicament by per-
sons in other boats. The girls brother and
Mrs. Murphine declare that the girls death
was accident.
Meanwhile George Evans, the young glass
worker, who took the girl on the fatal boat
ride, and has told conflicting stories about
how she came to her death, remains free in
his parents home apparently not under
surveillance by the officials. who unoffl-
cially seem disposed to accept the accident
theory, although they are investigating the
case. They say no arrest is now contem-
plated.

The District government was not repre-
scented by q delegate at the convention,
although several Of the local officials are
members OF the association. w. NJ. Mac
farland, superintendent of the District de-
partment. and prominent member of this
association, had anticipated attending the
convention. but at the last moment was
detained in the city. When he learned that
Washington was selected as the next rleet-
ing place of the association Mr.. Macfar-
land was highly elated. and stated that
the citizens of this city should consider
II distinct compliment, especially so, in
asmuch as the District was not repre-
scented at the convention and the selection
was made on the initiative of outsiders.
Mr.. Mscfarland stated that he has never
overlooked an opportunity to praise the
merits of the national capital to men,
bers of this association as a desirable and
interesting place to hold convention, and
he is of the opinion it was no doubt those
gentlemen to whom he praised Washington
who were responsible for Washington being
selected as the next meeting place.

DELEGATES TO COMMITTEES.
Hague Conference Will Make Impor.
tant Appointments Today.

THE HAGUE, June 20.-The various dele
cations to the peace conference met today
and selected members to be assigned to the
four general committees created yesterday
Under the rule each delegation has full lib
erty of choice in this respect. These as
sisnments must be communicated to the
bureau of the conference before 4 o'clock
| this afternoon, when the four presidents
and M. Nelidorff will hold a consuta ton
and arrange the days on which each COM
mittee will meet
AS in many instances, especially In the
case of the smaller delegations, the same
numbers will be assigned to two or more
committees, it will be necessary for the
committees to assemble on different days.
The real work of the conference will be
done in the committees.
A month is expected to elapsc before the
next plenary sitting, as the plan Is to have
the committee work well advanced before
again calling full conference together.

was a period of twenty eight days between
the appointment of the committees and the
presentation.
NJ. Nelidoff has received petitions from
the committees of Armenian and Albanian
organizations praying that the conference
consider some measure for alleviating the
deplOrable position of these people. Similar
petltlonS are pouring IN on the conference
from all over the world. The petitions are
filed with the secretary and acknowl-
edged with notification that the confer
ence could not occupy itself with matters
not presented by delegates.

AN ADJUSTMENT REACHED
Clowry Explains Position of the
Western Union Company.
WAGE RAISE IS TO STAND
Official Declares That, the Company Is
Trying to Act in Good
Faith.
AN ADJUSTMENT REACHED
WAGE RAISE IS TO STAND

NEW YORK, June 20-As a result of the
and following suggestions made by him an
adjustment of the difficulties between the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
its operators has been reached and there will
be no strike. This morning Col Clowry
president of the Western Union addressed
a letter to Mr. Neill outlining the position
Of his company, and this is admittedly
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
Mr. Clowry's letter to Mr.. Neill is as
follows:
referring to the conferences held be-
tween yourself and me and other officers
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, and having in view the possible
grave inconvenience to the public following
any general interruption of our business,
am glad to make clear to you the position
occupied by the Western Union Telegraph
Company in regard to this whole matter.
IN Good Faith.
"As to the statements made by persons in
no way connected with this company that
the 10 per cent increase granted by the
telegraph company on March l last has
not been applied to all salaried teleg-
raphers, l desire to say that the telegraph
company announced this increase in good
faith and is carrying it out in good faith
and that if any case can be found in which
the increase not granted it will be
corrected at once.
THE statement also being made that the
telegraph company is endeavoring to neu-
tralke the 10 per cent advance by the ap-
plication of so-called sliding scale is with
out foundation. There is no such practice
in effect, nor is there any intention of put
ting 1t into effect by the management of this
company.
Standard Salaries Maintained.
''The standard salaries for regular posi-
tons as established by the increase of
March l will be maintained, and the COM
pany will pay to any man appointed or pro-
NOTED to any position the salary attached
to that position after that increase and will
pay to extra men the salaries in effect for
their work, as of March l inclusive, of the
10 per cent increase.
This company has not Disseminated
against, nor will it discriminate against any
employe of the company because of affilia-
ton or naturalization with any organiza-
ton. and If 1t can be shown to me that
any subordinate has dismissed or discrim
mated against any telegrapher because of
utilization with any organization such te-
legrapher snail be restored to his position
without prejudice.
All in Good Faith.
AS evidence of the absolute good faith
OF the Western Union Telegraph Company
In its relations to its employees l beg to say
that If any telesrapher feels that he has
any grievance under any of the foregoing
conditions, and if he cannot secure a salts
factory adjustment of his complaint with
the officers of the company, we will submit
the matter to the arbitration of three par
ties, one to be selected by the telegraphers,
one by the telegraph company and the

third to be selected by the two SO chosen
and In the event that the two cannot agree
upon a third arbitrator within one week
We Will be very glad to have such third
arbitrator chosen by the chairman of the
interstate commerce commission and the
commissioner of labor acting. Jointly.
Entirely Willing.
"As a further evidence of our entire will
ingness to deal fairly and preserve amicable
relations directly with our own employees,
any tefegrapher who at any time has a
grievance can take it up with his superior
either in person, or, if he wishes, through
any committee he may select from the
other employees of this company in the same
district.
Il have outlined above in brief the posi-
ton the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany holds in regard to the matters we
have discussed. and you are at liberty to
make any use of this letter that you see fit.
Yours very truly,
r. c. CLOWRY,
President"

3 KILLED, 100 WOUNDED
Another Attempt to Burn Public
Buildings at Narbonne.
CITY IN A BAD CONDITION
Presented a Remarkable Spectacle
After Last Nights Battle in
the Streets

PARIS, June 2O.-Owing to the fact that
the censorship is in operation in the south
only brief items of news from the scenes Of
the wine growers demonstrations had
reached Paris up to early this afternoon.
These, however, showed that the conflicts
which have taken place between the troops
and mobs were more sanguinary than at
first suspected. At Narbonne three persons
were killed and fully hundred soldiers
and civilians, including a score of women,
are said to have been wounded, several of
them sustaining fatal injuries. The troops,
who were ordered to fire in the air, shot
straight at the mob besieging them in the
court yard of the subprefecture.
A whole army corps has been put in mo-
ton to deal with the rebellious growers but
the government claims that the forces now
are so distributed to isolate the different
sections and render. it practically impossible
to effect a general mobilization of the dis
affected people.
Three of the Argelliers committeeman,
who yesterday fled to escape arrest sur
rendered to the authorities today and were
placed in Jail at Montpelier.
Paris Banquet Countermanded
1t was ANNOUNCED TODAY that the state
this evening in honor of the King of Siam
has been countermanded in consequence
Of the bloodshed in the south of France.
The presidents decision created some
excitement, as it emphasized the gravity
of the situation.
The official announcement given out at
the Elysee palace was as follows:
Owing to the occurrences last night in
the south of France, the president of the
republic, after consultation with the King
of Siam, has decided to postpone the fes-
tivities arranged in his honor and conse-
quently the banquet arranged for this
evening at the Elysee palace has been
postponed until later date
Attempt to Burn Public Building.
The newspapers report another attempt
to burn a public building at Narbonne A
mob piled straw at the gates and then set
fire to 1t. Gendarmes fired from the upper
story and the attackers fled.
1t is a.5o announced that there has been
further shooting in the streets of Narbonne
and that number of persons have been
wounded.
Narbonne is described as presenting a re-
markabe spectacle after the nights battle.
The paving stones used in the assault on
the troops incumbered the streets, the walls
are marked with bullets. windows are
broken ana the cafes are wrecked, the 1ur-
niture having been used for building barri-
cades Broken bottles used as clubs litter
the streets everywhere.
Many Suffering From Wounds
Many of the wounded suffering from
shot wounds and saber gashes, or from
fractured skulls or limbs.
There are signs of the dangerous eX-
element abating, but the overpowering
military force keeps the people from as
sembling in large numbers.
Many wine growers continue to pour into
Narhonne from the country districts and
threaten to set fire to the hotels occupied
by the,army officers. Fresh troops are ar
irving at the disturbed city.

KNOX A CANDIDATE
WILL MAKE A STRONG FIGHT
FOR PRESIDENCY.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
! PITTSBURG, Pa, June Ex-senator Knox
| is to make an aggressive campaign for the
| republican nomination for President. Repre-
sentative James Francis Burke of Pitts
burg, who first proposed Knox for Presi-
dent, will manage his campaign. Headquar-
tiers will be opened soon at both Washington
and Pittsburg.
Representative Burke is enthusiastic over
| the chance of the senator. He said today:
There is more substance to the boom of
Senator Knox for the presidency today than
that of any other candidate in the field.
Senator Knox not only has the solid back
ing of his own state, but has been given
the assurance of the support of many In
fiuential men in other states, and l feel
certain that no other candidate has devel-
oped the boom he has.
1T would not be proper at this time for
me to indicate who these prominent men
are who have announced for Knox, but
they themselves will come out in due time
and declare themselves. l can say, how
ever, that Senator Knox himself kDows that
he has more than mere chance of secur-
ing the nomination. He is going to make
serious and systematic effort to secure the
nomination, and believe that he has every
reason to believe he will be the republican
nominee. l can say that his chances are
better today than any other man who has
been mentioned for the nomination, and
don't except one of the men who has been
named in connection with the presidency.
dency."
Corporations the Issue.
There Is no doubt that the issue in the
next campaign will be the corporations, and
as Knox, more than anybody else In the
United States, except the President, was
responsible for the work that has been
done under the present administration for
the regulation of the trusts. it Is alto
gethec logical and proper that Knox should
be the nominee of the party.
Representative Burke said Knox would
deliver a very important speech I-ext Mon
day night before the Yale Law School at
New Haven, Conn. He would not say on
what subject he would speak, but indi-
Gated that in view of the present situation
the speech would be more than ordinarily
significant. ,
In other words, it would be full OF news
