HIS HEAD DOWN,

WALKED TO DEATH

One OF those thin. ragged, poorly
nourlshed men that haunt bread lines
and lodging-houses In the winter and
park benches and employment agencies
in the summer, went shambllng across
Third avenue at the north crossing OF
Forty-seyenth street to-day, with his
hands buried deep in his trousers pock-
cts and his head drawn down inside the
upturned collar OF his old coat.
Motorman Dennis Buttimer. coming

ley car, rang his bell like mad when
he saw the ragged man step out upon
the tracks only few feet in front OF
him, but the other never raised his
head. Either he didn't hear the warn.
ing or he didn't much care.
Anyway, the bumper struck him n
hard blow before Buttimer could check
his speed. and he went flying through
the air fifteen feet, to fall outside the
car rails and lie motloness at the base
OF an IL" pillar
Policeman steil got Flower Hospital
on the phone, but DIR. Smith. who
came with the ambulance, said the un-
known had been killed instantly. His
back was broken and his skull was
caved In at the base. Stel arrested
Buttimer on the technical charge OF
homicide and took him to the East Fiji
ty-frst street station, to be later re.
manded to the Coroner
The dead man was about twenty
eight years old, feet inches in height
and weighed lio pounds. He had dark
skim black hair and blue eyes. His
rusty derby hat had the initials M. A.

tation gold cuff links bore the letters

TO INVOLVE LABOR.

The impression In political and labor
circles that the threat OF the United
States Steel Corporation TO reduce wages
if II should become necessary to reduce
prices was masked attempt to influ.
snce tariff legislation In the approaching
special session Of Congress appears to
be confirmed by an interview granted
to-day to an Evening World reporter by
Judge E!ber. II. Gary, chairman Of the
United States Steel Corporation.
The astute manager OF the Steel Trust
was directly asked II adverse tariff leg
islatlon would not result In a wage re-
duction among steel and iron employees
up to this time" he said. the di.
rectors of the United States Steel Cor
poration have not officially considered
the question of reduction in the wages
Of employees In the iron and steel in
dustries. All these reports In the news
papers are not official, and are, be-
lieye, the outgrowth Of the testimony
OF the leading steel men Of the country
before the Ways and Means Committee
In Washington last Winter
All Depends on Tariff.
"All Of these leading steel men, ex-
perts In their line. told the members of
Congress Investigating the subject
that any radical reduction in the tariff
would render absolutely necessary
general reduction of the wages of en-
ployees in the steel industries This
was the general opinion OF the men
best informed concerning the steel
business.
Now, In advance Of action on the
part Of the Ways and Means Commit
tss, cannot say whether there Will
b reductions In the wages Of the en-
ploysss Of the United States Steel
Corporation or not. It all depends
upon the tariff.
'As l said before, the men best in
formed have told Congress what is
bound TO happen II there Is a radical
tariff reduction. IN case Congress
should make such a reduction | cannot
say that there would really be wage
cut or what classes OF employees would
be affected. / can only state that the
men best qualified to tell of conditions
In the steel business have told Congress

tee just what thost cnditions are"
Organized labor in the steel trade has
not as yet taken any action upon the
threatened wage reduction. Labor lead
ers in New York do not expect any
such action to be taken until the ques.
ton Of tariff reduction on steel comes
up before Congress.
To Bring In Labor.
The United States Steel Corporation
ls one OF the best organized business
machines in the world II has well
organized press department. which man.
aged to spring the recent wage reduc.
ton threat most cleverly connected with
proposed cut in prices. This combina.
tion resulted in widespread newspaper
publicity. and at the proper moment the
agile press department, uncovered the
handspring OF the situaton--the tarIfl
question.
The skilled workmen In the steel
trades are very close to their employers.
Thousands Of Steel Trust employees are
the holders Of United States Steel Cor.
stocks and bonds. A word
from the right quarter would send these
men or their representatives to Wash.
ington in swarms. protesting against a
raid upon the laborlng mans wages In
the guise OF tariff revision.
Politicians assert that such move.
ment Is being planned by the Steel
Trust management. And while the
threat OF wage reduction Is rampant
the stocks OF the corporation are un.
favorably affected.
Is is estimated that about 500 900 men,
skilled and unsk!lled, are directly in.
terested In the threat Of a reduction OF
wages in the steel Industries, These In.
,lue the men who work In the ore mines,
N the shipping departments and the

Tremendous Sales Of Reading Garry Prices

A combination of gloomy forebod-
iEgs forced the skids under the stock
market this afternoon, and prices went
tobagganng with the usual panicky
excitement on the floor of the Ex-
change.
The strenuous state OF affairs In
Steel paved the way last week for
sensational decline. All that was need
ed to open way for the bears to rush
in was the circulation OF reports that
the United States Supreme Court was
certain to decide against the coal roads
In the commodities suits and against
, the New York Central IN the rebating
case.
Prices were scaling merrlly before
the attack was concentrated on the
coal roads, especially on Reading.

The market was weak and disorderly
up to the moment OF closing. There was
the heaviest sort OF covering among the
shorts in the final hour. but this only
produced a feeble rally OF point or
less. Delaware & Hudson received
heavy series OF blows that caused 1t to

Affairs had looked gloomy for Steel at

effect upon the market as the selling

SURVEYORS PLEAD
GUILTY, PAY FINE
Case Regarded as Effort to
HaPass and Delay
the Crew

M. @. Barnes, chief engineer of
surveying outfit that are conducting
surveying operations at Mica Bay,
presumably for a branch line of the
Chicago, Milwaukee G st. Paul rail-
road, and several members OF the
crew appeared in the court OF Judge
Russell today to answer to the charge
Of malicious destruction Of property.
The complaint was filed by Donald
Ryrie OF Spokane, who is identified
with a real estate and insurance firm
OF that city, and the charge made was
that the crew In running line across
the Ryrie summer home on the west
side OF the lake, had cut down some
trees. The case was originally start
ed in the court of Judge Chamberlin,
but when the time arrived for trial
Ryrie failed to make his appearance,
and the case was dismissed. Ryrie
then commenced the acton in the
court of Russell, and the surveyors
were summoned from their camp at
Mica Bay to appear for trial. The case
was disposed OF by two of the crew
pleading guilty, and being fined IS
each.
The case has attracted considerable
attention by reason of the persistency
OF the complainant In the case, and
che fact that he is Spokane man, and
the further fact that such a procedure
against crew of surveyors is unique,
and 1t has formed subject of consid-
cradle comment among the citizens
and business men of Occur d'Alene.
No complaints have been made by
people In the city against the survey
oTs, nor by residents OF this vicinity,
and as near as can be learned the case
meets with their general disapproyal
The general expression heard is that
the case but operated to delay and un-
necessarily harass the crew, and the
people of Occur d'Alene and vicinity
are not in sympathy with it, but be-
lieve that since the surveyors are the
forerunners of an enterprise that will
build up the city generally, develop
the resources of the county, and add
to the general prosperity that they
should be encouraged and assisted In
their work wherever possible, and not
be delayed and hampered by the insti-
tuition of groundless suits against
them.
