Woman for Saving His Life.

Chicago. April 21.-Mrs William
Rees, well known society matron
and horsewoman of Lake Bluff. has
just heard of her good fortune, which
comes as reward for her heroic eff
fort many years ago. Her reward is
in the form of a legacy from an Ital-

DECIDE TO STRIKE.
Pittsburg Street Car Men Preparing
to Quit Work.

Pittsburg. Pa, April 21-The en-
ployes of the Pittsburg Street Railway
company have decided to strike unless
the company at conference which ii
Is hoped may be held today, makes
concessions, which have so far been re-
fused. The company refused to grant
the advance in wages demanded by the
men and meetings were called and a
vote on the proposition to strike was
almost unanimous in favor of it,
The company says it will not make
any further concession and that it will
put on new men If the old men quit
work. Thousands of applications for
work have been received already. it is
said, and the company seems to antici-
pate no trouble in operating its cars in
the event OF a strike.
President w d. Mahon, of Detroit
head of the national organization is
reported from Detroit, to be on his way
here to advise with the men. No time
has been fixed for the strike to take eff
feet. but it probably will be put into
effect at once, if further negotiations
with the company prove fruitless.

This conflict between Wall street
and James A. Patten, the acknowledge
ed wheat king of the world, is fast be-
coming a matter of stubborn pride on
the part of Wall street. They don t
want to be beaten to a finish by the
Chicago wizard, who seems to have an
uncanny way of predicting the wheat
crops for months in advance. "Reggy''
Vanderbilt and the other New York
bears have lost tremendously on pa
per. They had opportunities to sell
when May wheat was at $1.04 and
again when it was at SLIP, but they
are still fighting on and 1t is now a
matter not so much of dollars and
cents as of beating Jim Patten at his
own game. Whether they will sue
coed or not is a question which will
be settled presently when they have
to produce the goods. Meanwhile Pat
ten on his side is displaying as much
stubborn pride as the New Workers.
He has refused point blank to make
any private settlements with the Wall
street crowd.
1.-THE men who are short of May
wheat in contracts witt me will have
to buy it in the pit or the cash mar
