MOVEMENT TO
END STRIKE

CHICAGO, Sept. 2e-Plans to end
the telegraph strike were announced
at the regular meeting of the Teleg-
raphers' union yesterday. A commit
Tee of As delegates from all sections of
the country win meet in New York
September to be in readiness il the
companies evince willingness to settle.
1t was also announced at the meet
ing that the operators had increased
their demands from is per cent to 25
per cent raise in pay.
1t is said some mysterious influence
is at work to bring about a settlement
of the strike.
There is reason to believe that un-
less there is a quick settlement the
railroad telegraphers will become in
volved. S. J. Small, president of the
Commercial TelegrapheHs union,
sends message to Chicago that with
in As hours the relations between the
railroad telegraphers and railroads
have become greatly strained, and he
expressed the opinion that unless con-
ditions were remedied the telegraph
ers will walk out.
That the telegraphers strike will
come to an end in four days both COM
panies and striking operators agree.
But each side asserted the other side
would give in.

Cassidy, a policeman, was shot and
killed early today while endeavoring to
arrest two burglars who had been
caught in the act of robbing store.
The burglars were then pursued by a
crowd and rather than submit to cap
ture one of them killed himself in a
swamp. The other burglar escaped.
Cassidy had arrested the men and
started with his prisoners for the sta
tion house when one of them drew a
revolver from his pocket and pressing
it against Cassidy's coat pulled the
trigger, Cassidy fell down and the
men ran away.
The shooting aroused the neighbor-
haad and crowd gave chase. The
burglars separated, one of them MAX
ing for the Passaic river. When the
crowd pressed too close the burglar
turned and fired a fusllaie OF shots,
but no one was hurt The burglar
then ran into the swamp trying to find
a place where he could swim the river,
but the mud and slime dragged him
down and he became exhausted in his
efforts to escape,
Realizing that he would be caught
he used the last cartridge in his re-
volver to shoot himself. He was dead

ended after a sensational trial at Cleve-
land, and her sentence to a term in the
Ohio penitentiary a year or so ago. was
recalled by an appeal filed in the Supreme
Court yesterday by the government The
record shows that Mrs. Chadwick pledged
various diamonds. opals. or pearl rings
stiCkpns. and earrings to J. W. Friend,
Of New York. as collateral for loans.
