Frisco Key Tappers Strike.


Not being satisfied with the peace
arrangement made 10y Labor Commits
sioner O'Neill at New York between
the Western Union and the telegra
piers, President Small of the Telegra-
piers union went right ahead with the
original plan to call strike at San
Francisco June 81, all the men leaving.
both the Western and Postal offices in
that city and in Oakland In his state
ment Small said that salaries of teleg
raphers there had not been increased
since the earthquake, Notwithstanding
the increased cost of living. Both
companies received messages subject
to indefinite delay and called for strike
breakers from the east Business was
greatly hampered all over the west.
1t was expected that the strike would
spread to Chicago and to other Cities.
Railroad telegraphers on the Southern
Pacific were said to be handling some
commercial business, and this it was
feared might lead to sympathetic
strike of the railroad union.
Strikes Troubling New York.
In the midst of the heat wave New
York city has suffered considerable in
convenience and no little danger, first.
from the strike of the garbage wagon
drivers and, second. from the ice
wagon drivers, the former having dis
agreements with the city authorities
and the latter demanding recognition
and better pay from the American
Ice company. Throughout the lower
east side health was endangered by TIE
accumulation of great heaps OF gar
bage and refuse in the streets, and as
long as the strike lasted the public
suffered great Inconvenience from the
inability to get ice in the usual guam
titles. The street sweepers were said
to be on the point Of joining the gar
bage wagon drivers in a sympathetic
strike.

In gratitude for complete relief from
aches and pains from bad backs-from
distressing kidney ills-thousands have
publicly recommended Doans Kidney
Pills. Residents of Owosso, who 50
testified years ago, now say their cures
were permanent. This testimony doub-
ly proves the worth OF Doans Kidney
pills to Owosso suffers
Wellington White, Retired, living at
20S Goodhue St., Owosso, Mich, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills certainly act as
represented. I haye suffered great
deal from kidney trouble. My back
caused me great annoyance and sharp
shooting pains extending to the should
er blades. / came to. the conclusion
that my kidneys were disordered, and
procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills.
i found great relief at the first, and
continued taking them until my good
health was restored. I gave a state
ment for publication eight years ago in
which ! recommended Doan's kidney
Pills. During the lapse of time, have
not suffered from kidney trouble what

Dominican Treaty Signed.


The treaty drawn between the
United States and Santo Domingo was
signed by the president at his Oyster
Bay home last week, 1t having already
been ratified by the Dominican con-
gress and the United States senate.
This treaty settles definitely the ques-
ton Of the collection of Dominican
revenue and makes the island repub-
lie virtually an American dependency.
Oklahoma Census Ordered.
Upon the advice of Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte the president has IN
structed the secretary of commerce
and labor, Mr.. Straus, to have the
census bureau make a special enumer-
alton Of the proposed state Of Okla
bona, including the present territory
Of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
for the purpose of determining the
distinction of population among the
subdivisions into which the state will
be divided should the new constltu-
ton be approved at the polls. The adj
ministration understands that this
constitution would be likely to gerry
mander the state favOrably to the
Democrats. The work on the new cen
sus is to be commenced as soon as the
necessary blanks can be provided.
William c. Hunt, chief statistician of
the census bureau, will have immedi-
ate supervision of the work in the field.
China Thanks the President.
Among the guests at Sycamore Hill
the other day was the Chinese minister,
Sir Chentung LANG Cheng, who came
for the express purpose of bidding fare
well before returning home and to
bear message from the emperor of
China expressing gratitude for the
presidents remission of q large part
of the big indemnity claimed on ac-
count of the Boxer rebellion. China
evidently regards this act as an ex-
preston of the friendship of the United
States.

MUCH Is HIDDEN
 BEHIND SCENES Sensations Promised In the
 Hitchcock Case ACTOR WAS NOT INDICTED Counsel for Hitchcock Declares That Only an Affidavit Was Made Against Him By Agent of
 Gerry Society.
ACTOR WAS NOT INDICTED

New York, November 2.-(SpeciaL)--A missing man, supposed to have been the agent who induced Raymond Hitchcock 10 abandon his stage career and leave his friends in the lurch, is being sought by the actors attorney, Herman Fromme. Mir. Fromme declares that this man disap- peared about the same time as the com edian, and that when located he will be found with Hitchcock
 There is more in this case than the general public thinks" said Mr Fromme, and when the whole matter is threshed out there will be q sensation equal to any that has ever startled New York. | am satisfied that Hitchcock was lured away
 Fromme asserted that Belle Mckenzie, the girl whom the Society for the Pro- lection of Children believed went away with Hitchcock, is in this city in hiding and willing to be a witness for the de- fense should the actor be placed on trial
 Belle McKenzie, said the lawyer, "came to my office. She said she wanted to make a statement about her connec- tion with the Hitchcock case, and to deny that she had gone away with Hitchcock.
 Hitchcock was never indicted. The only thing on which he is held is a short affidavit by an agent of the Gerry so- ciety I don't care what has heen said, there are no indictments out for Hitch cock. At least I have never heard of any"
 One of the reports current today was that Hitchcock's valet had also disap- peared. This report was denied.

Compromise Is Proposed Be-
 tween the Contestants
ALI ACTION IS POSTPONED
Railroads Are Willing To Take Up the Subject of Dispute, But Employees May Resist Attempt at
 Consolidation.

London. November 2.--(Special Ca -ble. )-The threatened general railroad strike is very likely to be averted by a compromise. In the meeting of the executive committee of the Amalga- mated Society of Railway Servants to- day, it was decided to postpone all ac- tion on it's strike resolution until after conference with MT. Lloyd George, president Of the board of trade. on No- vember 6.
 The meeting of the parliamentary committee of the Trades Union con- gress with committees of the general Federation of Trade unions and of the labor party which had been ar ranged for Tuesday, was postponed on the suggestion of Richard Bell. M. F., who in a note written to the secretary of the Trades union. said that towing to d chain of circumstances, I do not think it necessary to call them to- gether at this stage
 The circumstances to which MT. Bell referred are, of course. MT. Lloyd Georges invitation to conference. His plan is to form 6 permanent board of council with an equal number of representatives of the companies and of the men and having an independent chairman.
 The railroad directors apparently are willing to adopt the plan, but the ques- demanded complete recognition of their unions and direct dealings between railroad managers and the unions, will accept such a substitute.

DONELSON CAFFERY
 HOT IN THE COLLAR
HE CALLS LIEUTENANT GOV ERNOR SANDERS BAD NAMES AFTER CHALLENGING HIM TO A PISTOL DUEL.

New Orleans, November 2.-(Special)-- --- Sanders into a pistol duel Donelson Caf- fiery, son of tue late United States Sem ator Donelson Caffery today posted Mir. Sanders as a common liar and pol troon." Thousands of these posters signed by Caffery were posted on boards, tele- phone poles, sidewalks and across the several downtown buildings in the vicin- St. Charles hotel.
 The work was done by 20 bilposters before daylight. Sanders having no inti- nation of the attack until he came down town this morning.
 Friends of Sanders spent the forenoon ripping the posters off with knives San ders still maintains he cannot at this time give Caffery personal satisfaction, however much he would like to. Hold ins one public office and being candi- date for another, he contends he is not in position to meet Caffery or any other man in mortal combat
 The lieutenant governor must pass the challenge by. Caffery, who was senator from 1893 to 1901 and Sanders have been politically opposed for some time. Early in the present state campaign Caffery became an ardent supporter of Theodore S. Wilkinson for governor against San ders.
 Charges against the record of Sanders in d speech at Donaldsonville, caused Sanders to reply to 1t in his Jeannerette speech last Tuesday. It was to these ref erences that Caffery took exceptions re- sulting in his demand for retraction.

DEATH BY POISON FATE OF RICH MAN Examination of Stomach Re- veaIs Cause of Death FORTUNE HAS DWINDLED Detectives On the Case Refuse To Say Whether Death Was By Suicide
 or Caused By Other
 Persons.
FORTUNE HAS DWINDLED

New York, November 2,--(Special)- Walter Farnsworth Baker, the rich liar yard graduate and clubman, whose sud den and mysterious death in the home oi his friend, Frank Hurd, in Bogota. N. J., last Sunday, has stirred the Baker family to swift investigation, died from poison. This was established today when an analysis of the contents of the stomach in Boston disclosed enough knockout drops to kill three men. Following this came the statement that an arrest soon would be made, and also that other causes besides poison might have contributed tc Bakers death.
 Not one of the detectives engaged in the case would commit himself to state ment as to whether this poison was taken by Baker accidentally or with suicidal intent, or was administered by another.
 Soon after the result of the analysis was made known. Alfred Baker held a long consultation with his attorneys, after which one of them, accompanied by the Baker family physician, left for New York.
 Dispatches from Boston tonight said Bakers fortune of more than $2.0N,Oo0 had dwindled to between s400,000 and $5oo,c00 and that he had left this money by will to MT. and Mrs. Frank Hurd of Bogota with whom he had made his nome for the best part of two years, and to Mrs George W. Young, who is said to be the wife of the president of the Windsor Trust company. It is also said that Mrs. John son, sister of Mrs. Young, and Mrs EIurd was generously remembered bJ Baker

BANKERS IN CONFERENCE.
Special Session of Congress Is Dis
 cussed at the Meeting.

New York November 2.--(Special )-J. P. Morgan was In conference nearly all day with groups of bankers in the pie ture gallery of his Madison avenue home The condition of the banks, as revealed by the bank statement was said to be the primary cause of the conference, though the shortage of currency and other matters were discussed.
 It was reported that the advisability of asking Roosevelt to call special session of Congress to deal with the needs of the financial situation was also dis cussed
 In the principal conference there were present besides Mir. Morgan, his two partners. George W. Perkins and Charles Steele; James Stillman, president of the National City bank; George r. Baker, president of the First National bank; A B. Hepburn, president of the Chase National and former comptroller of the currency; Isaac Seligman and Grant B Schley.
 During the day Oakleigh Thorne, pres ident of the Trust Company of America, was said to have visited MT. Morgan rel ative to the sale of the Central of Geor- gia railroad and other properties in which Thorne and a group of associates are interested
 Though no formal statement was made by any of those who visited Morgan, it made for any protective measures that the situation may require Monday and during the week.
 Morgan left his home in a carriage at 9 D. m., and it was rumored he was go- ing to Washington to confer with the President. Late tonight it was declared that MT. Morgan would spend the night in the city .and would also be in town tomorrow It was declared there was nothing in the situation to make it neces- sary for MT. Morgan to go to Washing ton at this time.
