Livingston, Sept. 16-The Yellow
stone park season is drawing to a
close. The end Of the week will see
the complete evacuation of the park,
so far as tourist transportation IS
concerned.
+ The last ticket was sold Sunday af-
ternoon The tWice-a-day passenger

Off September 10 and the old mixed
daily train of passenger and freight
will be resumed. The hotels will
close the first part Of the week and
the army of employees will seek other
employment. The camping compa-
MES are handling their last parties
and will be ready to pull up camp and
be out at the close of the week.
The summer has been very graft
flying one to the Park Transportation
company and the various camping
companies. The travel has been
heavy and steady enough to keep ev-
erybody busy and satisfied. The alb
sence of a rush of numerous big ex-
cursion parties, and Of notable for
eigners, has been observed this year,
but nevertheless the season has been
distinguished by its steady travel of
individual tourists and small parties,
sufficient to show up financially with
any former year of heavy travel.

BY CLARA WARD
California Woman Declares that
Fraud Was Perpetrated at Birth Of
First Child Of Prince and Princess
de chimay Executor of Ward -
tate Declares Story False.
(Ry Associated Press.l

Chicago, Sept. 49, Mrs. Mary Mar
tin of Oakland, Cal, spent Sunday at
a Chicago hotel and is quoted today
by the Inter Ocean as telling strange
story about Clara Ward, daughter OF
the deceased Detroit millionaire.
Clara was divorced from the Prince
de Chimay and her escapades and mar
ratives with subsequent marriage
and divorce from a violinist named
Rigo, caused an immense amount OF
gossip.
Mrs. Martins published story is that
one Of the two children that the prince
has had in his custody is not the child
Of the princess, but Of a poor Irish
woman. The impression is that in
1891 the wife Of the prince gave birth
to d son in a New York hospital. She
substituted a girl for him, sending the
boy out into the world unnamed and
unknown. Mrs. Martin was accom-
panied yesterday by a youth of 16.
whom she asserts IS the son Of the
prince and princess.
Mrs. Martin says that her home in
Oakland is guarded day and night by
two Filipinos and that the Ward rela-
tives are bound to spoil her plan, but
she is bound at any cost that the son
Of the princess shall get his rights.
Thomas R. Lyon, executor Of the
Ward estate, and uncle of Clara, says
he has known Of Mrs. Martins story
and that IL is absolutely false. He add
ed that his niece is living in Italy with
her husband, Recaido, and that the
children of the prince are now with
him in Belgium. He says Mrs. Mar
tin has frequently written him asking
for money.

RorLERMAkERs WALK OUT ON
UNIONS ORDERS.
WANT HIGHER WAGES
Demanding 47la Cents an Hour--Ma-
chinists Can Work but Short Time
Without Them, and Prospects Are
Said TO Tend Toward Bigger Strike.
Especial to The Gazet.s J

Livingston, Sept. 16.-There are no
boilermakers at work in the Livingston
shops Of the Northern Pacific this
morning. The union of Boilermakers
and Helpers, numbering about so,
have joined the general strike for nine
hours and As cents an hour.
The boilermakers at this point have
been getting the benefit of the nine
hours since the first of the month,
when the nine-hour schedule went into
effect for the mach1nists, but conclud-
ed to go out on strike for As cents an
hour, when the strike was announced
at headquarters.
The machinists asked for As cents
as well, but they agreed to return to
work for 421a cents. The boilermakers
asked for 471s cents, but would COM
promise for As cents. Now they re-
fuse to go back for less than 471s
cents. If the boilermakers win their
fight, the trouble may begin all over
again between the machinists and
the company. Some of the machin-
lists are not satisfied with 421a cents
and conditions look rather ominous in
the present crippled state Of affairs
brought about by the boilermakers'
strike.
The work at the machine shops. as
far as the machinists are concerned,
can go on but short time until 1t
will be absolutely necessary to have
the services of the boilermakers. Traf-
fic on the road makes it highly i'm.
portant that engines be kept in con
stant repair. Machinists can carry
the work of repair just so far and
then there is apt to be serious halt
lie the strike Of the boilermakers is
not adjusted by that time. Nothing
has been heard from the company as
yet, and there is no sign OF settle
mont in sight.

Catholic Church viii BE Placed on
N All Publications Which Members Of
Organization Shall Read.
lRY Associated ! 4 Press, II

Rome, Sept. 16.-The Osservatore
Romone, organ of the vatican, today
issued an important encyclical of Pope
Plus X, on modernism, which really
is completion of his recent proelama-
tion. The document sets forth that
modernism is a danger to the church
and it refers in detail to modernism.
He condemns it as dangerous in phil
osophy, faith, theology. history, eriti-
cism and reforms, and arrives at the
conclusion that modernism is the syn
thesis of all heresy and must logically
lead to atheism. It makes the follow
ing provisions:
First: The teachings of philosophy,
positive theology, ETC., is to be carried
out in the CHURCH schools and univer-
stiles in Catholic spirit.
Second: Modernists are to be re-
moved from professorships and the di-
rection of educational institutions.
Third: The clergy and faithful are
not to be allowed to read modern1sts
publications.
Fourth: A committee Of censorship
is to be established in every diocese
to pass upon the publications which
the clergy and faithful shall be permit
ted to read.
Fifth: The encyclian of the late
pope, Leo XII, prohibiting the clergy
from assuming the directions, without
their bishops permission providing for
supervision of the ecclesiastical writ
ers, is confirmed.
Sixth: Ecclesiastical congresses,
except on rare occasions, are prohibit
ed.
Seventh: A council is to be consti-
tuted in every diocese to combat mod.
ern errors.

LABOR I'M CANADA
Fight EXCLUSION
WORKERS, CONGRESS AT WINNIE.
PEG DEMAND CLOSING DOOR.

(1y Special Service to The Gazette.
Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 16.Accord-
ing to the labor delegates from east
and west, one Of the biggest questions
which will come before the congress
which opened here today will be the
problem of the Asiatic immigration in
to Canada. Delegates are unanimously
in favor Of absolute restriction and o
resolution to that effect which passed
congress last year will be reafirmed.
A plank will be adopted along the
same lines in the platform of the la.
Dor party.
J.. H. McVety, president Of the Van
couver labor council, who is better
fitted to speak on the subject than
any other labor man, spoke most enl-
phatica1ly today on the subject, COM
ing out squarely for absolute exclusion.
Much has been given to the public
through the medium Of the press that
| is far from being based on fact, said
Mr.. McVety.
sThe constant cry that labor is un-
obtainab1e to carry on the work Of de-
yelopment and maintenance of indus
tries Is not literally true. I have seel
| white men turned away from factories
| in Vancouver, because the labor mar
ket was overstocked. There is positive
lily no shortage of skilled or unskilled
workmen on the Pacific coast. and the
statements that only through the i'm
portation of Japanese, Chinese and
Hindus can railway construction wo:k
be carried on satisfactorily and the
| country fulfill its destiny, are harmful
misleading and untrue.
.The orientals cannot be used as
laborers on the railway lines w.ler
even the first OF the cold weather
comes, because they are so susceptible
to climatic conditions that they be
cone almost useless when the ther
mometer falls below freezing.

Especial to The Gazeete.)

Glendive, Mont, Sept. 16.-James
Edwards, waiting trial for boxcar
robbery, and James Thompson, bound
over on a charge Of highway robbery,
made an easy escape from the county
jail here last night.
After giving the four prisoners tneir
supper within the cage, Undersheriff
j. l.. Patterson went to his own sup
per, leaving the Yale lock that held
the cage belt in place, unsnapped,
though hanging through the hole in
the end Of the belt. With a broom
handle Thompson, according to the
story Of the two remaining prisoners.
worked the belt back and forth until
the paddock was worked out Of place.
It was then easy to open the cage
door.
After making their exit into the
outer Jail corridor, Thompson and Ed
wards replaced the lock just as the
undersheriff left it, and then climbed
to the top Of the cage, lying flat down.
The officer shortly returned, took out
the supper dishes, did not investigate
as to whether all the prisoners were
in the cage, snapped the lock and
went away for the night.
Being loose in the corridor, Thomp-
son and Edwards found little diff
Guilty in making a hole through the
brick wall OF the building. Sheriff An
drew Larson has wired descriptions to
the various cities east and west, but
there is little hope Of their recapture.
This is the second Jail escape to oc-
cur here in the past two months. The
other time Undersheriff Patterson al
lowed man to walk away from him
while they were pumping water.
Thompson, one Of the men who es-
capped last night, had a parole from q
state penitentiary on his person, but
the officers had never discovered It,;
nor had they found two large knives
which ne carried into the Jail with
him.
