NEW YORK STRIKE ENDED
THE ICE AND GARBAGE WAGON
DRIVERS RETURN TO WORK.
Mayor Promises Grievances of Latter
VIII Be Considered - Men
Busy Cleaning Streets.

New York, July 3-The discomfort
which New Workers have suffered
for several days by failure to receive
ice because of a strike of the drivers
of the wagons of the American Ice
company and by the presence of piles
of rotting garbage in the East side
streets because of the strike of
drivers of the city garbage collection
wagons, was practically ended Tues

All the drivers of garbage wagons
returned to their work under promise
ffom,. Mayor. Mcclellan that their
grievances will be considered! .<iThe
strike of the ice wagon drivers was
broken by a large number of the
strikers Individually without author
ization of the union returning to work.
Although some of the ice men con-
tinued the strike and the officers of
of the union declared that they were
about to extend it, the officials of
the ice company declared that the
worst of the strike was over, and
that the delivery of ice would soon
be normal
Augmented forces of garbage col
lectors were soon at work on the East
side Tuesday clearing the streets of
the accumulations Of refuse which
has Uttered the streets and caused an
almost intolerable stencil for several

ITALIAN WINS AUTO RACE
NAVARRO CAPTURES GRAND PRIX
OVER FRENCH COURSE.
Frenchman Is Second While American
Fails to ShoW-Nobody Seri-
ously Injured.

Paris, July 3.-Felice Navarro, Ital-
ian, Tuesday drove a Fiat Italian
made automobile over the 477-mile
Grand Prix course in 6:46:33 and
won the most famous automobile
event of the world from 81 rivals,
Francois Szisz, Frenchman, driving
a Renault (French) car, was second,
his time being recorded as 6: :53: 10.
Walter Christie, the American, who
drove the 135-hoTse power machine
bearing his own name, was one of the
unfortunates who found the triangular
76 kilometer 998 meter course be-
tween Dieppe, Eu and Londinieres too
strenuous for their cars. No con-
testant was seriously injured.
The pace was killing from the start,
leaving a score of cars hopelessly
beaten before the second round was
ended. The race was full of surprises.
NazZaro was not prominent early in
the contest. Lancia took the first
three laps, but when he broke down
at the third and surrendered the lead
to Duray, the latter, as he reeled off
lap after lap under 40 minutes, looked
an easy winner, but on entering the
fourth round a broken bearing put his
car out of action and he was forced
to retire amid the plaudits of the
crowds In the meantime Nazzaro,
riding like demon but cool and
steady, overhauled Lancia, and when
Duray dropped out he continued on,
uflheaded, to the finish. Szisz came
up from the rear and made a gallant
effort during the last two laps to over
take the flying leader. Lancia's
petrol gave out in the final round,
permitting Baras to finish third.
Nazzaros brilliant victory was ac
knowledged by all, but the heart had
been taken out of the crowd by
Durays accident, and the French
thousands received the news coldly.

AIM TIC DEFEAT zELAYA,s PLAN.
New Combination of Central Ameri-

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, June 27,
via New Orleans, July 3.-Within the
last few days a new combination has
appeared on the Central American
checkerboard of five republics, where
President Zelaya, of Nicarauga, has
been maneuvering for several months
by means of revolutionary plots Ito
consolidate the five countries under
one government. The new combina-
tion is reported to be Honduras, Guate-
mala and Salvador. Their understand
ing was made at Tegucigalpa, Hondu-
ras' capital and aims at defeat of the
consolidation.
1t is reported that Nicaragua has
already spent between s2,00O,OO0 and
S3,000,000 in the attempts to place
men of Zalaya's choice in the presi-
Dental chairs of other republics and
that the people are discontented with
the large expenditures. Nicaragua is
sued about $2,000,0O0 in treasury
notes, percentage of which were to
be redeemed in customs duties.

Old Lace.

Real old lace is supposed to look the
part When it doesn't various tricks
are resorted to 10 yellow it. One Of
the best is the secret of a southern
woman.
The whole art, she says, lies in q
newspaper. Cut strips of newspaper
a trife wider than the lace to be tinted
and carefully sew the edges Of the
lace to the paper. Then make a roll
of newspaper about as thick as an
ordinary mailing tube and roll the lace
trimmed newspaper strips around this
with perfect smoothness.
Next wrap the whole In blue paper
and seal up the ends In the course Of
two or three months the lace will have
the most perfect ."old" look one could
wish for. A hundred years couldn't
bring about any better results than a
newspaper properly put on.

STRIKE IS CALLED
IN another CITY

ORDER TO AID PACIFIC COAST
OPERATORS.
NAME OF TOWN is
NOT MADE PUBLIC
TeIeeraphers in Chicago on Verge of
Wakout-Men Ordered to Hold
Themselves in Readiness to Go Out
on Moments Notice.

San Francisco,x July Sit is an
nounced that President Small of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
America has extended the strike OF
the telegraphers by ordering out the
operators of the Western Union and
Postal companies in another city to
help out the men on strike in this
city and Oakland. Small would not
say where the strike had been called,
and for the present will not disclose
the location until the message reaches
it's destination.
Chicago May Be Scene.
Orders for the extension of the
strike, it is declared, were mailed by
Small Monday night. 1t is believed
by many of the operators that either
Portland, Los Angeles or Seattle will
be the scene of the next walk-out,
while some declare that the men in
Chicago, regarded as the key to the
telegraph situation of the entire coun-
try, have been ordered out.
The pickets of the Commercial Tel
egraphers have been notified by Pres
ident Small to look for J. L. Powell
son, an operator who is said to be
on his way here from Los Angeles to
act as a strike breaker for the West
ern Union. 1t is asserted by mem
bers of the union that he is a desert
er from the signal corps of the
United States army, and is wanted by
the army authorities in Utah.
Superintendent A. H. May of the
Western Union and General Superin-
tendent L. w. Storer of the Postal
repeated their assertion of previous
days that their companies are hand
ling without delay all business that
is offered and emphatically deny the
charges made by the striking opera
tors that they are sending packages
of kilograms by mail and express.
Superintendent May Stated that
there were 107 men at work in the
Western Union main office at Oak
land Six branch offices were open
ed in this city Monday by the West
ern Union.
Chicago Operators Ready to Quit.
Chicago, July 3-Twenty-five hun
dred telegraph operators in Chicago
are on the verge Of d strike against
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies.
News that President Samuel ].
Small of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' union had mailed orders for
the extension of the strike to a new
city was received and the local key
men were ordered to hold themselves
in readiness to quit at a. moments
notice, expecting the order might be
for general walkout here.
Chicago is held by strike leaders
to be the most vulnerable point for
the companies. This city is called the
key to the nations business" teleg-
raphically.
The situation here has become deli
cate since the union tried in vain to
persuade the Western Union company
to reinstate William Main, an opera
tor who had been discharged for
copying the names of nonunion opera
tors.
