PUPILS STRIKE AGAINST
LUNCHE0NS' HIGH PRICES
Not More Than 100 Students Out OF
500 Appeared When School
Convened

CLEVELAND. Nov 4.-The strike
of the pupils of the West high school
against. both morning and afternoon
sessions and the high prices of
luncheon continued today. When
school convened not more than 100
pupils were in the building. The other
400 held a meeting and adopted reso-
lutions to prolong the fight. 1t was de-
cided to invite the pupils of the other
high schools to join in the strike.
During the last ten years only morn
ing sessions have been held in the
high schools. At the beginning of the
present school year the double session
was revived.
1t is said the pupils in South high
school are making preparations to join
in the strike.
A committee was chosen to confer
with Principal Lynch of West high.
Principal Lynch said he can do moth
ing. mot even expel the strikers, as the
whole matter is in the hands of the
school board.
West high strikers assembled in
Lincoln high school yard, and gave
their yells and blew horns, but the
Lincoln pupils refused to walk out.
The West high boys withdrew, but left
ten to picket the school yards. The
pickets were driven away by the prin-
cipal and policeman.

WHEREABOUTS OF DEP0SED
TREASURER NOT DISCLOSED
Official OF Big Four Line Alleged to
Be Short 100000 confers
with Superiors

CINCINNATI, Nov. Awhile the
whereabouts of G. L. Warringer, the
deposed local treasurer of the Big -Four
railroad, have not been disclosed, II
was given out today that Warringer
has returned from New York with rail-
way officials with whom he has been
comforting regarding his accounts.
Officials of the road refuse to make
public the extent of the supposed short
age, estimated at $4,000 to 100000. II
was intimated today that an arrest In
connection with the Warringer case on
charge of blackmail was contem-
plated.
1t Is said this man was at one time
an employe of the Big Four, and that
he had knowledge of an. alleged former
defalcation on the part of Warringer,
and that he used this knowledge to
blackmail Warringer.
There was a conference today be-
tween local officials of the Big Four
road and representatives of the COM
pany which bonded Warringer. A re-
port that $4,000 had been paid in by
the bonding company on Warringer's S
account was neither confirmed nor de-
MED.

WRITER OF BLACK HAND
NOTES MAKES CONFESSION
Member of Firm Sends Threatening
EplstIes to His Own Business
House Demanding Money

OTTUMwA, Ia, Nov. A "black
hand" mystery which has puzzled the
officials of Keokuk county for long
time was unraveled here yesterday
when Charles Rix of Hedrick made a
confession to the sheriff that he him
self had written threatening letters to
the firm of Hix brothers, of which he
is a member. The letters were address
sed to James Reynolds, clerk In the
store, and demanded money.
Hlx was arrested by the sheriff, but
was released after he had made the
confession.
He said he could give no reason for
writing the letters.
The first letter was written to Rey-
nolds and ordered him to leave the
community under threats. 1t was
signed BLACK hand" Reynolds stayed,
however, and a few days later received
another letter written in the same hand
The threats were little stronger and
were signed darker" Again Reynolds
refused to go. and a third letter reached
him, more threatening than the others.
One morning a letter was found
under the door. addressed to Hix broth
ers, demanding $500. They were or
dered to proceed to lonely corner on
the deserted country road, strike three
matches as a signal and deposit the
money in the fence corner.

PRIEST TAKES STAND IN
CONTESTED WILL CASE
Declares Woman Testator of $2,0o0,0oo
Estate of Feeble Mind, but Not

ance on the witness stand of Father
Andrew Garriga of the Mission church

He testified that Maria de Laveaga
was of a feeble or undeveloped mind
from the time she was a child ~ years
old, when he first knew her. until she
attained maturity, but he denied she
was either insane or an idiot
He testified also in regard to the
sanity of Trinidad de Laveaga, who
was an aunt of Maria.

EVIDENCE IN UNJUST RATE
CHARGES HEARD BY LYON
Special Examiner Presldes at Case in
Which Sacramento Shippers
Are Complalnants

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4-Evidence
for the railroads was heard today by
Special Examiner Lyon, who Is making
an inquiry into the charges of unjust
discrimination against Sacramento
shippers of freight to Reno and other
Nevada points.
The complainants assert the Sacra-
mento-Reno rate is double what 1t
ought to be, based on the Los Angeles
Bakersfield conditions.
The first witness for the company
was Engineer Jerome Newman, who
testified the difference in the physical
conditions of the two sections of the
railroad compared justified the dissim-
liar rates. He explained the cost of
hauling freight depended to a large
extent on the gradient which the road
was compelled to cross. and as the Sis
kiyou and Sierra lines crossed much
higher grades than the Los Angeles
Bakersfield line, the rate for the first
two routes was correspondingly higher.
Seth Mann subjected Mr.. Newman to
severe cross examination.

SEAL PUPS RAISED ON
CONDENSED MILK FOOD
Scientists Hope to Prevent Extermina-

Animal Artificially

SEATTLE, Nov. 4.-On the revenue
cutter Bear. bound from Seattle to
San Diego, are two fur seal pups
brought by Boatswain Judson Thur
ber His success in rearing the in
fants has aroused hope that extermin-
alton of the American seal herd may
be averted.
Newborn seals are helpless without
their mothers. The mothers are
obliged to leave the rookeries to seek
food and when the adult seals go OUT
side the three-mile limit they are
butchered by Japanese sealers, who
last season with twenty schooners
killed 10000 seals. The babies left on
the rookeries starve to death.
Thurber took two orphaned seals
last summer and fed them on con-
densed milk until they were able to
eat fish and now they are vigorous
pups. Scientific men believe this nurs-

of Imprisonment for Contempt
of Court

NEW YORK, Nov. 4,-John Mitchell,
vice president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, whose sentence of nine
months Imprisonment for contempt of
court has been upheld by the United
States court of appeals, has arrived
too late to meet President Samuel
Gompers before the latter went to
Washington, but Mr.. Mitchell declared
that the matter would be taken to the
supreme court and that he was willing
to go to jail in defense of principle
if the final court sustained the others.

taken up by the convention of the
American Federation of Labor which
begins in Toronto on Tuesday" he
declared.
''Trial by jury is the traditional and
constitutional right of free people.
The agitation against the decision will
be of national scope and will be kept
up. Meantime every legal course will
