MUST TAKE THE BONDS.
Financiers Will Not Let New York
Securities Go by Default.

New York, Aug. 27.-The announce
ment that the city of New York had de-
cided to ask for bids on September 10
for the biggest bond offering ever made
by the city, created stir in the finan-
cial district. The bond issue amounts to
SAC, ,000, 900 and an interest rate of Az per
cent is offered to investors. The finan-
cial district did not at first take kindly
to the prospect of such a heavy demand
upon its resources, but reports quickly
spread that many of the leading finan-
cial persons had Joined in the organiza-
tion of a syndicate to bid for the entire
issue. This restored q feeling of con-
fidence and the various attractive fea-
lures of the issue received more con-
sideration.
. No definite statement could be obtain
ed that the leading bankers had formed
a syndicate to bid for the issue, but 1t
was reported on apparently good au-
thority that J. P. Morgan & Co. and
other financial houses were identified
with the plan.
1t was pointed out that banking in
terests realized that a failure of this
bond sale after the interest rate has
been advanced to Az per cent, would
be akin to disaster. For that reason it
was confidently asserted in many quar-
ters in the financial district that the
city loan would be success because
leading financiers realized that it had to
he a success.

LYNCHERS DIDN'T COME.

determined iron workers had left that
borough in an automobile to come to
the county seat and take William H.

Jail and lynch him. The negro was ar

murder at South Bethlehem last night,
of Policeman Shuman.
Warden Collins took no chances and
aroused and armed all deputies and

entire police force stationed about the
jail. The prisoner was taken from his
cell and hidden in remote corner of

AGREE ON ONE POINT.
Both Sides Say There Can Be No Arbi-
tration of Key Strike.

New York, Aug. 27.-Arbitration of
the telegraphers' strike as 1t stands at
present is out of the question, accord
ing to President Small of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' union. Mr.
Small said the strikers are prepared
to remain out for two months and
that the union will support them for
that time. The executive board of
the American Federation of Labor,
he added, will consider the relation of
the Federation to the strike in a day
or two. Mr.. Small said also that con-
than on the day the strike was called
and that one-half the Western Union
force in this city failed to report after
Friday last when, he said, the double
pay system was abolished He pre-
dicted that by the end of the week
the telegraph systems of the country
will be out of commission. Superin-
tepdent Brooks, in speaking of the
strike situation, said:
"Our company will have nothing to
do with Mr.. Small or his union. While
we are willing to consider individual
cases of the men who went out where
we believe they did so under pressure
the agitators who have engineered
the situation will not be re-employed
under any circumstances"
superintendent Brooks made denial
of the statement of President Small
that the Western Union had abolished
the double pay system and that half
of those working who had been paid
on Friday had failed to report. Mr..
Brooks said:
''The Western Union has not abol-
ished the double pay. Every man
who has been paid off on Friday re-
ported for work. and the company has
all the men it wants. The statement
that our officials are working the keys
to help break the strike, is false

Railroads Seek to Have Regula
tiOn AmeliOrated.
Agents Will Ask Patrons t,
Sign an Appeal.
TWO COPIES OF TARIFF
They Declare Will Cost Five
Times as Much
For Printing and Clerk Hire as
They Now Pay.

Chicago. Aug. 27.-The Alton and
other western railroads have just in
structed all their agents to try to Sc
cure the signatures of all their patrons
to a petition to the interstate COM
merce commission not to enforce
strictly that section of the law which
required the railroads to post in every
station, depot or other place where
passengers and freight are received
two copies of every tariff issued by the
railroad and of every tariff of other
roads in which it concurs. While sec
ton of the act to regulate commerce
contains this requirement, it is doubt
full if any railroad in this country has
complied with it. The general practice
has been to keep a file of all tariffs at
the headquarters of the company and
to post at each station only the rates
applying to and from that station.
If the law is strictly enforced the
railroads will be obliged to spend at
least five times as much as they do
now f.r the printing of tariffs and
much larger amount for additional
clerks to post and index the tariffs.

Gustav p. Lang Is Arrested by the
Postal Authorities.

Philadelphia, Aug. 27.-Charged by
United States postal inspectors with
the wholesale selling of obscene postal
cards, Gustav P. Lang of this city who
traded under the name of the P c.
Novelty company was arrested today
and held in bail for trial The arrest
of Lang is regarded as the most i'm
portant capture made in the crusade
against the Objectionable cards. The
case was brought to the attention of
the authorities by a resident of Rome,
N. Y, who received a sample series of
postals. After he had been taken into
custody Lang's place of business was
searched. The officials claim that in
addition to hundreds of the obscene
cards, abundant evidence in the way of
orders shipped to individuals and firms
throughout the country was discovered.
One firm in New York. 1t is claimed,
ordered $4,000 cards. The postal auth
critics say Lang is a wholesaler and
has agents in many cities. 1t is said
that his other employees are known
as road agents. whose business 1t is
to go to the smaller towns and take
orders. 1t is expected several other ar
rests will be made within few days.
