OLD MEN IN WEATHER BUREAU
VICTIMS OF 0SLER THEORY
Young Men Being Pushed to Front
in Responsible Positions of
Service.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-old men, make
way for younger blood.
This in effect is the insinuation which
has been sent along the line Of the United
States weather bureau field service by
Chief Willis L. Moore. 1t means in plain
English that the day OF men over three
score year Of age occupying high positions
in that service is passed. Young men are
being pushed to the front to fiji the places
once occupied by gray haired veterans.
Men who have reached the age above in
dicated. will not be let out OF the service,
but will take less important stations.
Illustrations OF the fact that is to be-
come the policy Of the weather bureau are
found in the changes made at Philadelphia.
Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Nashville,
all of which posts had been filled by men
whose ages are between 90 and 70 years,
but which are now occupied by younger
men.
Among the other transfers is Edward
Bowie, formerly in charge of the st. Louis
station to be foTecaster in this city. He
will be succeeded by ]. Warren Smith Of
the Columbus, o., station.

Ferries Have stopped Running, and
Drinking Places Are Closed by
Authority-Crisis Grave in
Swedish Capital.

STOCKHOLM. Aug. 4-The labor con-
flict in Sweden shows signs now of be-
coming much more acute. While the ranks
of the strikers are considerably swelled,
the general strike called for today has not
vet become entirely effective Many or
ganizations, although sympathizing with
the strikers, hesitate to join them actively.
The employees Of the street car lines and
the cab drivers stopped work this morn
ing and neither cabs nor street cars are
available. The fact that the troops are
protecting the gas works and the electric
lighting plant has incensed the workmen,
whose leaders threaten to call out all the
men unless the soldiers are withdrawn.
The printers union this morning resolved
to postpone for the present any decision to
20 on strike
A corps of workmen. some thousand
strong, is being organized with the object
of maintaining order and the people gen.
orally, bankers merchants etc, are arm
ing themselves for self-protection. The
gun shops of the city are practically de-
nuded of revolvers and small arms All
tourists have left Stockholm and the num-
ber of visitors now in the city is smaller
than at this season for many years.
Although railroad men have decided not
to strike, the government is taking the
precaution to guard the tracks with troops,
fearing attempts to blow up bridges or
injure the permanent way. Quantities Of
dynamite are reported TO have mysteri-
ously disappeared recently from the gov
ernment stores.
Babies Suffering for MIX.
The leaders of the strikers claim that the
end of the week will see a notable spread
of the movement; that the railroad, postal.
telegraph and telephone employees and the
printers will by that time have Joined in
the strike.
This Afternoon guards were posted in the
market places and the railroad stations
All milk supplies have been cut off and
thousands of babies are suffering from
lack OF nourtshment and have changed
from cows milk to canned milk.
The streets of Stockholm are filled with
idlers who promenade back and forth
chatting the volunteer street cleaners,
many of whom belong to the better classes
All the saloons are closed today and only
the best restaurants are permitted to re-
main open and even here 1t is possible to
get wine only with a solid meal
All the ferries have stopped running and
there is little communication between
Stockholm and the suburbs reached by
water routes. This fact will result in a
further diminution Of food supplies. For
the present all is quiet in the city. but
trouble is expected when the stocks Of food
begin to run low.

after dark Tuesday night when they parted

James saying he was going to get shaved
and that II ne did not return soon not to

hours and, his brother not returning, he
went to sleep in some weeds.
Where he spent the day yesterday is not
known definitely but he was evidently
hiding where he could not get water, for
the first thing he asked for was drink
and he drank as a man who was fam
ished.
He did not seem to be hungry however,
and has evidently been getting food with
considerable regularity. He insists that he
has no idea where his brother is now, but
says that James more than once remarked,
since they have been in hiding, that he
would like to see his wife and 1t is possible
he may attempt to do so.
Just what charge will be placed against
him is not yet known. He has been in
Jail before on minor charges, but on ac-
