The strike which has tied up the
Standard Steel Car company's works
was settled. late last night and many
! employees of the plant returned to
work today. The settlement is a par.
tial victory for both sides, each yield
ing points In an effort to reach an un
| derstanding.
The strike was brought to an end
through the efforts Of the Rev. Father
F. Beczewski of the Polish Catholic
church here, and under whose advice
the men have been acting almost from
the beginning. Following the presen
tation of an ultimatum by the men
yesterday Attorney Levi M. Wise and
Father Beczewski were called into

the workmen and consented to a re
/ duction of the per cent of delinquent

matum making four concise demands
a yielding to which will insure an i'm
mediate termination of the walk-out
The demands were: That the stat,
troops be withdrawn; that all strikers
in Jail in connection with labor trou
bles be released Immediately; that th'
company treat with the committee rep
resentinga the men, giving assurance
,, of an increase in wages as soon a
trade conditions warrant, and that tn
per cent of delinquent rent taken from

DEATH OF FORMER OFFICER.

Annapolis, Nd, July 21.-Lieutenant
William F. Bevan, who resumed his
Testimony today in the Sutton case,
has been besieged with questions by
Major Leonard. He stated that he did
not recall ever hearing Sutton threat
but related the occasion of Sutton's
shooting UP the camp as told by Wit
nesses Adams and Osterman during
yesterdays session.
Mothers Work Effective.
Pointed questions hurled by the
| mother Of Lieutenant James N. Sut-
ton at the three witnesses testifying
in the session of the naval court Of in
quiry investigating whether the young
officer killed himself or. was slain by
brother officers, served to confuse the
witnesses and led them into glaring
discrepancies with one anothers testi-
mony, although they all stuck firmly
to the main declaration that young
Sutton was a suicide.
The mother practically took the ex.
animation of the witnesses out of the
hands of her attorney, Henry Davis
AS a result of her tangling those on
the stand, particularly Lieutenant
Adams, the latter for moment ap-
peared as the man accused of Sutton's
death.
Attorney Davis was quick to take up
! this point and interrupted Mrs SUIT
ton to argue that, if, as Adams had
admitted, Adams had obtained coun-
sci and considered himself in danger
of being accused of murder, his cred

Observation-Disclosures TALK.

Washington, D. c., July 81.
Determined to present to the
president tonight a program for
settlement of tho dispute over
raw materials or at least to de-
fine issues so sharply that the
executive may be put in. position
to weigh the merits of the con-
troverted points, the tariff con-
ferees today took up in earnest
five big subjects, iron, ore, lum-
ber, oil. hides and coal, that had
been held in allegiance by the at
titude of the administration. The
only obstacle in the way of max
ing compromise report, putting
iron, ore and oil on the free list
and making reductions in duties
on coal, hides and lumber is be-
lieved to be Representative Payne,
chairman of the ways and means
committee. His signature must be
had If there is to be a tariff legis-
lation. If he exacts the placing
of hides on tho free list and
adoptes reciprocal provision,
which would mean the free entry
of coal from Canada as the price
of his signature, the senate con-
ferees say there is no pos.
sibilisy of an agreement. There
is little hope of an adjustment in
all the differences over slumber,
hides or coal today. These sub
jects, in all probability will literal
ly be put up to the president"

Washington, July 21.-A special
meeting of the cabinet was held today
to further discuss the matter of cut
ting down the estimates of the various
departments for the coming fiscal year
according to the statements of several
of the cabinet members before enter
ing the consultation room with Presi-
dent Taft. AS an indication that the
president will use his best efforts to
get harmony out of the chaos sur
rounding the tariff bill at the dinner
he will give at the White House to-
night to the house and senate, con-
ferees, came the announcement today
that in addition to the conferees the
president will have as guests Vice
President Sherman, Senators Root and
Crane and Speaker Cannon and Rep
i resentative Dwight of the Republican
whip" of the house.
Sherman Works for Votes.
Vice President Sherman is helping
In the task Of lining up senators for
The finished bill. He and Senator
Crane, however, are said to fear that
1t will take until next Monday at least
to assure a safe majority for the final
report. Until they have lined up the
necessary quota, the report will not be
made public.
Seven ''insurgents''- OF
Idaho, Beveridge of Indiana, Cununins
and Dolliver of Iowa, Clapp and Mel
son Of Minnesota, Bristow OF Kansas
declared they would vote against
The conference report, while Senators
Crawford, South Dakota, and Burkett
ard Brown of Nebraska decided to fa.
gor it. Senator LaFollette of Wiscon
sin was absent, but will vote against
The report
Efforts on the part of these insur
gents to get the "anti-free-raw-mater
tal'' men in line against the bill are
not having much effect. So far, how
ever, Senator Crane has not been able
to get satisfactory assurances from
the latter that they will stand by the
Aldrich-Taft program.
What happened at the White house
between the president and the senate
and house leaders is a sealed book
When Messrs. Aldrich and Cannon re
turned to the capitol they minimized
the differences that had aroused bit

SAVANNAH IS
A BETTER TOWN
GEORGIA CITY BEHAVING 5EAUTl-
FULLY UNDER PROHIBITION
REGIME-GAMRLE 60.

SAVANNAH, Ga, June AL
though it has been charged that the
prohibition law is openly defied here,
reports of Chief of Police Austin
for the first year of the operation Of
the law shows a decrease of lat in
the number of arrests for drunkenness
compared with 1907, when the saloons
were open. The total arrests for 1908
were S,483, which is Ala in excess OF
the previous year, but Austin reports
marked decrease in the number OF
arrests for offenses usually credited
to whisky.
A remarkable feature of the report
is the statement that there is not
gambling house in the city, all hav-
ing been closed during 1908. Before
the prohibition law went into effect
Savannah was regarded as a wide
open" town in the matter of gambling,
but under the first year of prohibition
every gambling place was closed. 1t
is believed that the closing Of the
saloons made the gambling business
less lucrative and consequently the
gamblers left the city.

PITTSBURG, June chairman
Norman E. Mack OF the democratic
committee, and Col. James NJ Guffy,
the member from Pennsylvania, had a
long conference in Pittsburg Sunday.
This was the first time the two have
met since Colonel Guffey resumed the
reins in Pennsylvania after being de-
posed by the Denver convention last
July, and there was not little inter
est shown when it became known that
the two democratic leaders had met.
Colonel Guffey said:
"Mr. Mack and met and talked
for an hour or so. 1t was purely a
social meeting. He was on an auto
trip with his family, and stopped over
in Pittsburg, and we had talk, but
not on politics. In fact, politics were
not discussed. 1t was purely social
talk"
"Did you and Chairman Mack bury
the hatchet?" was asked.
There was never the least trouble
between Mr.. Mack and myself" said
Colonel Guffey. I'VE have always
been the closest social friends"

MAURY HONORED
AT NASHVILLE
MAKES SPLENDID SHOWING AT
sUNDAY-scHooL CONVENTION.
w. A. DALE, v. PRESIDENT.

Maury county won signal recognition
in the State Sunday school Convention
which closed Thursday night in Nash
vile. In the first place Maury had a
! greater number of delegates present
than any other county in the state
with the exception of Davidson, and
when the Chairman of the Convention
called for the Maury county delegates
to stand up they made goodly show
ing, over 80 rising to their feet.
And then Maury was further hon
ored by the election of Mr.. W. A. Dale,
President of the Maury County Asso-
citation, as Vice President for Middle
Tennessee for the State Association.
Mr.. Dale has been jealous and earnest
in Sunday-school work, and since the
organization of the county association
year ago it has been largely from
his interest and intelligent enthusiasm
that the county association has grown
to such proportions and was able to
make such a splendid showing in
Nashville.
Thursdays meetings we're very in
teresting throughout. Nearly all OF
the delegates remained to the close
and not less than 300 were in atten-
dance. The big parade of the men,
scheduled for the afternoon, was in
definitely postponed on account of the
inclemency of the weather, but aside
from that there was not flaw in the
arrangements. The delegates returned
to their homes with renewed inspira-
ton and with the association more
effectively organized than ever before.
The officers of the association for
the ensuing year are as follows: Pres
ident, H. D. HuanEer of Chattanooga;
Vice President for East Tennessee, |
j. A. Patten, Chattanooga; Vice Pres
ident for Middle Tennessee, w. A.
Dale, Columbia; Vice President Of
West Tennessee, Harris L. Brown,
of Memphis; Recording Secretary, Ed
ward Albright, Gallatip: Superinten-
dent of the Teachers Training De-
partment, Rev C. o. N. Martindale,
Chairman Executive
e. E. French, Nashville;
Treasurer, W. H. Raymond, Nashville.
Messrs. Patten and Dale are the only
new officers of the STAFF, succeeding
7. E. Annis, of Chattanooga, and P. L.
Harmed, of GAINESVILLE, respectively.
