TREASURE UNEARTHED BY AR
 REST AT PITTsRURG.
ITS OWNER LIVED IN EQUALoR
Police Found Trunk Full of Coin;
 Stockings Full of Bills; Wash Boiler Full of Dimes, Nickels and Pennies.

Pittsburg, Aug. 12.-The police have discovered that Peter Leibauch sup posed to be demented, is the possessor of a fortune which he hid about his house, where he lived in squalor.
 Trunks Full of Coin.
 Trunks full of coin, stockings full of bills, washboilers full of nickels, dimes and pennies, the whole estimated at $10O,000. were loaded into a patrol wagon and taken to the Farmers De- posit National bank by the police, where, up to quitting time tonight, fully S40,000 in cash had been counted. with the job not half finished
 Leibauch lives at No. 1,400 Madison avenue, North Side. Some paper had blown across his lot and he chased a little girl, charging her with throwing it. Her mother told the police and Sergeant James Rogan sent six officers to arrest Leibauch yesterday.
 Examiner Charles Young of the de- pertinent of charities was notified by & priest of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church that Leibauch was destitute. Examiner Young out of curiosity took Lieutenant Henry Regelman with him and examined the hut In every corner they found money One trunk was so heavy that two men could not lift it.. When opened they found it jammed full of silver and copper coin.
 Police Guard Treasure.
 A further search revealed two trunks a small one and a larger one, both filled. wash boiler was filled with money of small denominations. By lifting boards which the officers found marked with mysterious figures they found other hoards. A box filled with nickels was hidden away under a bed. Several bankbooks were olscov- cred showing deposits of thousands of dollars. Inspector Scott Woods de- tailed two officers to remain at the house to guard the treasure until it could be carried to the bank. Leibauch was born on Madison avenue, North Side. and spent his life there. Until two years ago he and his brother An drew lived in the hovel. One day An drew shot and killed himself. How the men accumulated so much money is a mystery, as their only known occupa tion was peddling herbs.

MINISTER wu RECALLED.
Announcement Caused Surprise ir
 Government Circles Here.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Announce- ment If the recall of Minister Wu came in a cablegram to the Chinese legation which added that Chang Yin Tang has been named as his successor.
 The recall surprised government cir cles here. Dr. Wu has been the ac- credited representative of China in the American continents since March, 1908 and during that time has done much toward adding to the reputation he es- tablished among the people generally during his first term as minister to America in 1897-1902, of being one of the most popular diplomats who ever came to Washington.
 Mis sympathies with the United States during the Boxer trouble led to his first recall. It was reported then government promptly intimated that such course wonld be offensive to the United States.
 Washington, Aug. 12.-Dr. Wu's suc- cessor. known as progressive" in Chinese political affairs, is a man who has been much diplomatic service.
 Minister Wu is now in Peru. It is expected that he will return here be- fore going to China During his sec ond term in Washington the minister has attracted considerable attention by his advocacy of vegeterianism, which he exploited both publicly and private ly. Dr. Wu believes an adherence to a vegeterian diet would prolong life and he said he intended to live to be 100 years old
 There is considerable speculation as to the reasons which have animated the Chinese government in directing his return, but further than the an- nouncement that he is to have an- other assignment at Peking nothing seems to be known.

|, teiephcning to his men to stay in the boarding house and not to incite the strikers pending a confirmation of the report that the company had yielded when the first shot rang out. An agreement had just been approved at the city hall when a repoR was tele- phoned that rioting was in progress. The officials promptly notified the mayor tFat they would now fight the strike out to the bitter end. No peace will be considered until they are done, with the Greeks. They were the in- citers of the strike and would not listen to- reason.
 Strikers Drive Police Back.
 The shot which terminated all ef- forts to effect a settlement marked the inception of riot which has not yet been terminated. For an hour this aft ernoon volleys and shots followed each other in quick succession. The strikers hlassed and drove the police back into the bunkhouse, where they are now undergoing siege. They fired through the windows and were preparing to storm the house when Chief Dodds, backed by Sergeant Taylor and the city police force, prevailed on them to stay away.
 The police had to do this largely be- cause the police were backing argu- TUT Dcdt6 WILL DullclS llISu HUH crevices of walls and through windows from positions whih the strikers were unable to locate. All the windows in the bunkhouse and Canadian Pacific railway yard buildings were smashed with bullets.

 Threaten to Burn Grain Elevators.
 The strikers threatened tonight to burn the Canadian Pacific grain eleva- tors and the night promises to be fuIl of danger. although liquor selling places have all been closed by order of the mayor.
 Chief of Police Dying.
 Fort William, Ont, Aug. 12.-It is reliably reported that a well known Italian lately made the threat that when the coal dock section saw fit to take the affairs of the city into it's hands the life of the chief of police would not be worth a cent.
 Chief Ball, head of the Canadian Pacific secret police, who was shof at noon, is dying. He will not survive the night.
 When the militia began a appear to- night the strikers threatened that every policeman on the city force would be shot

DEVELOPMENTS IN PERscH CASE Note Broker, Released on Writ of
 Habeas Corpus, Was Re-arrested.

New York, Aug. 12.-There was a new arrest today in the circle of com
 psexities surrounding young Donald Persch, the note broker, who is charg- ed with the larceny of S110,000 worth of copper stocks put up as collateral with the Windsor Trust company to secure a loan of s5O,OOO made to M. NJ. Joyce, broker for F. Augustus Heinze. w. l.. Clark, another note broker, but representing Joyce, who is the complainant, maintains Persch was arrested in the district attorneys of flee, charged with the larceny of $10,- 900, said to be part profits from the curb sales of the stock which Joyce supp0sed was safe in the vaults of the Windsor Trust company until he was astonished to buy part of the shares back in open market. Clark was released on $12,000 bail.
 His arrest is based on two checks drawn in his favor by Persch one for $48S and the other for $10.,09. The checks were drawn a few days after the loan had been closed.
 Earlier in the day, Persch. freed on writ of habeas corpus, was promptly re-arrested, charged this time with the specific larceny of $44.000, which the district attorneys office sets forth was his share of the profits from the al- leged swindle. Bail this time was fixed at $50,000, which Persch failed to secure today.S
 Persch's counsel was indignant at his re-arrest. This is the most re- markable case I have ever heard of" he said. T intend to open up the floedgates and will see that several men are swept away if l find it nec- essary toysave this boy. He has been the tool for men higher up. He knows nothing of the transaction. If these accusations are not withdrawn I will give the district attorney evidence that will create a sensation in the finan- cial world"
 This statement agrees with the be- lief of MT. Mott of the district attor- ney's office, who has said plainly that he expects to uncover a widespread conspircy to sell hypothecated stocks here and in other cities. Mir. Nott, however, seems to think the scheme was only a way to make easy money, whereas friends of Heinze still per sist that there has been a systematic organized by a master mind,'' to ruin him.
 Had Nothing to Do With Transaction
 Boston, Aug. 12.-A. D. Adams, a street broker, in a lengthy statement issued tonight said that he had noth- ing to do with the transaction regard ing Heinze stocks now bein ginvesti- gated in New York. ItAhad been in- timated in New York and Boston pa- pers that MT. Adams was wanted to explain what he knew about the case.

 MT. Tingier favored all three amend- ments The motion to table was considered out of order under sIis- pension of the rules.
 A motion to accept the report of the committee and the amendments was carried by a large vote and the bill passed, and was transmitted to the. senate.
 Resolution to Expedite Business.
 The resolution amending the joint rule concerning the introduction of bills and resolutions. which was de- signed as a measure to facilitate and expedite business in the house, caused considerable debate this afternoon. Darro-ontufixra of cto spoke in favor of it and explained it in brief way. It designed that each member should be provided with a copy of the rules and the blank forms of resolutions and amendments as we'll as with instructions how to pre- sent them, and also provided that matters should be filed before the opening of the session. Representa- tive Burnes moved to indefinttel- post pone the resolution on the ground that joint rules Of this session would not be binding upon the next general as- sembly Mir. Chandler of Rocky Tin intimated that important matters are kept until the last crowded days of the session and mentioned other things in favor of the passage oS the resolu- tion. Mir. Bush of Orange said that in his opinion the session had been prolonged by great many members who had talked too much. Mir Brins- made of Washington iiltimated that 1t might have been due to diiatory tac- tics on the part of lawyer members of the house. After considerable de- bate the motion to indefinitely. post pone prevailed.
