LAKE ERIE ANTICS,
 OLD MARINES PUZZLED.
Water Keeps Rising and FaIlins-Ex-
 perts Fail to Explain.

Buffalo. N r., May 6.-Lake Erie has been exhibiting a weird behavior since midnight and has risen and fall eH several times in a manner that old mariners say has never been duplicat- ed within their memory.
 Between and o'clock this morn ing the lookouts at the life saving station noticed that the water was ris- ing rapidly. At 4 o'clock it had risen from four to five feet, according tO their estimates. Between 1 and l3O this morning the water began go- ing out of the harbor so rapidly that the boats in the Blackwell canal and along the river tugged at their moor ings and were banged hard against their docks.
 The steamer Ice Queen pulled UT the piles to which she was moored and was carried down with the rush. ing water to the outer harbor, where she was caught by the police boat be- fore she had sustained any serious damage.
 Marine men are at loss to account for the phenomenon, but refer to it as a tidal wave Professor CuthbertsOn reported that the wind was blowing only 30 miles an hour at five o'clock this morning and in a direction op- posite to what would have caused the rise in the water Mir. Cuthbertson was unable to account for the phe- pOmenon.

Postal Strike
 Threatens Paris
GAUNTLET OF BATTLE THROWN
 DOWN TO THE GOVERNMENT.
LEADERS HAND IN GLOVE
With the Moving Spirits of the Feder- ation of Labor-RevoIutionary Or ganization to Destroy Capitalism.

Paris. May 6.-The famous P. T. T., that is the Posts. Telegraps and Tele- phone Employees association, threw down the gauntlet of battle today to the government by transforming itself into a syndicate, or union, under the law of 1884, thus placing the associa- ton on the same footing with work mems unions, with the right to strike against the state employer, as the workmen have the privilege of doing against private employers.
 Open Revolt.
 This defiance, which is nothing short of open revolt, came as a sudden and sensational sequel of Premier Clemen- ceau's failure today to receive a depu- tation of postal employees wko called to present demands for the redemption of promises which they claim the gov ernment had made when the recent strike was declared off.
 Serious Aspect.
 The most serious aspect of the sit uation is the fact that the leaders in this new movement are undoubtedly hand in glove with the movin~ spirits of the general federation of labor, which is now universally recognized as 8 revolutionary organization and which has for a long time been preparing for a general strike to destroy capital ism" The suppression of this organ ization has freqently been contemplat- ed by the French government.
 Many Postal Employees Break Away.
 Fortunately a considerable propor- tion of the postal employees have had their eyes opened to the revolutionary venture on which the militants pro- pose to embark and have broken away. There are loyal servants enough to form working nucleus to fight a gen eral strike which tonight is considered a matter of hours.

TRIAL OF CAPTAIN HANS,
 DEFENSE RESTS ITS CASE
Chief Counsel for Defendant Creates
 Stir in Court.


 Flushing, N. r., May 6.-The defense had rested it's case and the prose- cution was well along examining wit nesses in rebuttal when court ad- journed today in the Hains trial. The rebuttal witnesses were principally army officers who were stationed at Forts Hamilton and Hancock during June. July and August, 1908, and met and talked with Captain Hains at that time. Their testimony tended to con- troVert that of the army witnesses for the defense in that they all said Cap tain Hains spoke and acted rationally a short time before the shooting, Aug. 15 last, when the defense contends he was suffering from maniac depressive insanity"
 John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for the defense, caused a stir in court by questioning the army officers as to what military authorization they >had for appearing as witnesses against Captain Hains. lie brought out that Capt. Henry w. ToTney Of Fort Han cock had an order signed by Colonel Heistand, adtutant general of the de- partment of the east, directing him to appear at the trial. MT. Mcintyre en- deavored to show that other officers received the same orders frpm Colonel Heistand and asked Captain TOrney if he did not know that i'll feeling ex- isted between the cOloQel and the Hains family. Captain Torney was not per- mitted to answer, but 1t was evident that the defendants counsel wished to show that there was an antagOnism against Captain Hains in certain army circles.
