PROMOTER HALL RECEIVED CON-
FIRMATION MESSAGE FROM
WILLIS BRITT YESTERDAY
ARRANGING MATTERS.

Tex Hall yesterday received tele-
gram from Willis Britt, manager
for Stanley Ketchel, stating that the
Ketchel-Langford fight would certain
ly take place here, Notwithstanding
that New York and Philadelphia had
offered the same purse for shorter
fight. The message was in reply to
one sent Britt by Hall, asking the
reason for Langford's not answering
his several messages.
Britt's wire set at rest the many
stories to the effect that the fight
was to take place in one of several
large cities. Hall has been con-
fident that the meeting of these two
men would take place in this dis
trict and the numerous telegraphic
reports did not for moment make
him lose heart. The local promoters
are going ahead with all the pre-
liminary matters, as it is not their
intention to leave everything to the
last minute and then be forced TO
pull off the big fight in manner
which would not be credit to the
district. Within the next day or SO,
it is expected that word will be re-
ceived from Langford, asking that
transportation be sent for himself
and manager.

PITTSBURG, July 17.-Justice
of the Peace Jacob Smith and Con-
stable David Keely, of Suteryille,
have been charged by Joseph Nor
asky, citizen of that locality, with
attempting to hang him. AS a re-
suit both were arrested and gave

was burglarized the other night and
Morasky was arrested, charged with
the crime. He alleges that he was
taken into a room by Smith and
Keely and asked to make a confess
sion. He refused and then the con-
stable, he says. got rope, threw 1t
over rafter and while the Justice
of the Peace held the door, Keely
proceeded to hang him. Morasky
says he was drawn off his feet sew
eral times. The mark made by the
rope was visable at the time the
was made before Squire
Truxal, of this place. John Met
Hickey, a companion of Morasky, also
charges Constable Keely with the
larencey of $50 from his person.

ARE ASKING
FOR PARDON
SLEEP WALKING EXPLAINS HOW
IOWA WOMAN CAME TO FIRE
DAUGHTERS HOME IN DEAD
OF NIGHT.

DES MONIES, Ia, July 16.-With
sleep-walking as basis of the plea,
pretty near all Iowa is asking for the
pardon of Mrs. Anna Meyers, convict
ed of what seems most dastardly
attempt to burn the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Livesay, at Winfield.
At the head of the movement is Jerry
Sullivan, former candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket, and
one of the prominent attorneys and
politicians of the state. He will ask
Governor IF. Carroll to pardon Mrs.
Myers before she enters the state re-
formatory at Anamosa. At present
the woman is out on an appeal bond.
and no action will be taken on her
case until some time this fall.
Anna Myers, many years ago, used
to go to the same little red school
house with Sullivan, and they were in
the same class. To the ties of that

Disorder and Some
BIOOdShed In PennSyl-
yania Labor Troubles
Several Are Injured
ANYONE APPROACHING THE
STEEL CAR PLANT HAD TO
SATISFY STRIKERS THEY
WE'RE NOT SEEKING WORK.

PITTSBURG. July 16.--Street
cars, vehicles and pedestrians are be-
ing held up today by steel strikers
in the vicinity of the Pressed Steel
Car Cos. plant where there has been
much disorder and some bloodshed
during the last two days. Everyone
is compelled to satisfy the strikers
that they are not seeking employ
ment. At $3.50 o'clock groups of idle
women increased to such an extent
that the constabulary cleared the
street Some resistance was offered
and several policement were injured
by flying bricks. The number of the
injured already totals fifty. Several
have bullet wounds but majority
sustained cuts and bruises. At one
time nearly one thousand men, wom~
en- and children gathered at the large
gate where stones were thrown into
the street and the mob opened fire
on the police inside. Suddenly big
gate swung open and ESQ troopers
firing carbnes into the air rode into
the mob at full speed. For awhile
the air was filled with screams, curses
and cries The mob was then driven
half mile from the plant. Furtner
trouble is anticipated. E"
A majority of the idle men are In
the Pittsburg district. Excepting the
strike of the Pressed Steel Car com
pany where rioting occurred result
Ing in the shooting and heating of
thirty persons, the strikers are
orderly. ms '1'4 fY"r1
The situation in the Pittsburg dis
trict is unusual treading as 1t does
on the heels of an apparent wave OF
prosperity.
Assumptions have been ordered in
all trades, and men who have been
without work for many months are
being afforded employment.
In several instances. the men claim
their employers are offering them too
low wages for their work. The Of
ficials assert conditions do not war
rant higher pay at this time.
Other grievances include the al
legged violation of the eight hour
work day and recognition or or
ganized labor.
The trouble is spreading to the In
dependent sheet and tin plate plants.
and there is apparently no hope FOR
adjustment

Such Is Belief Concern
ing Shah Of Persia
Will Probably Be Sue.
ceeded By His Son
s4AH TAKES REFUGE IN RUS
SIAN LEGATION AND ARRANGE
MENTS ARE BEING MADE FOR
APPOINTMENT OF REGENT.

TEHERAN, July 16.-The fact
that the Shah of Persia took refuge
this morning in the Russian legation
is accepted as tanamount to an
abdicatiOn of the throne and arrange
ments are on foot for private govern
ment pending the appointment of a
regent. 1t is probable that his son
Mohammed Ali will be chosen Shah.
TEHERAN, July 16.-Despite ef-
forts of General Liakhoff governor,
to open terms with the Nationalists,
to cease hostilities, street fighting
was in progress throughout the day
between the Persian Cossacks and
the Nationalists around artillery
square and between the royalist
Bakhtiaris and the newly arrived Ma
tionalists and revolutionary Bakh-
tiaris.
Insurgents continue In the as
cendancy, and as reinforcements are
continually reaching them, the out
come in their favor appears to be
forgone.
Fighting around the Cossack bar
racks ceased this afternoon and nego-
tiations for their surrender are now
being carried on with General Liak
hoff. The Shah's troops are discor-
tented on account Of insufficient food
and pay.
Fighting today centered around
the British legation. A number of
Royal Bakhtiaris, gaining entrance
to the city took up positions On the
tops Of houses in the vicinity of the
legation and near the nationalist
camp, which they bombarded with a
heavy rifle fire.
The Nationalists responded, and
for several hours the British tele-
graph offices and other foreign
houses, in which we're number of
women, were under fire. During a
lull the women were removed to the
British legation. The battle last
night between the Cossacks beseiged
in Artillery square and the National
lists who attempted to disiodge them
was exceedingly fierce. Non-com-
batants were compelled to seek
shelter in cellars, as shells were
bursting everywhere. The Cossacks
succeeded in holding their position,
and, on the withdrawal of the attack
ing party, opened fire with their ar
tillery on the parliament building.
Under cover of this they made an at
tack on the Nationalist headquarters,
but were repulsed by a small force
of Bakhtiaris, who took up position
with a Maxim gun in front OF the
British Legation.
There no way of estimating the
casualties, but so far as known no
foreigners are among the killed and
wounded.
The telegraph operators, who are
sticking to their posts, have the WIN
dows of their houses barricaded.

the aid of jackies. The village bellies

When the officers arrived they
found the jackies in possession of the

all the girls, too. The strict naval
regulations were brought into play
and the jackies were ordered to 60.
The jackies left, ofscourse, but they
were followed by many of the girls,
and held another ball of their own
in a nearby hall.
