NO SETTLEMENT MADE
IN PITTSBURG STRIKE
| WAITING GAME is PLAYED BY
COMPANY AND EMPLOYEES
Butler Company's Men Not Return
Ing to Work In Spite of
Agreement Reached There
Tuesday

PITTSBURG, July 21.-The strike OF
the employees of the Pressed Steel Cal
company has resolved itself into a
waiting game on the part of both strik-
ers and car company officials. After
two conferences today between counsel
for the car company and counsel fol
the strikers, it was announced that
nothing approaching settlement had
been reached.
The expected trouble at the COM
pany's McKees Rocks plant, following
the refusal of the court to interfere
in the strike, failed to materialize to-
day, and the only outward indication
of a strike was the gathering of sew
eral thousand men, women and chill
dren at Indian Mound for a mass meet
ing. Nearly 200 men were in the plant
today, which is about the, same num-
Der as yesterday. The state constabu-
flary continues to patrol the vicinity
of the plant.
Notwithstanding the agreement
reached last night, not more than one
fourth of the foreigners employed II
the Standard Steel Car company
plant at Butler, Pa, returned to worl
today. The men say they have NJ
definite assurance of increased wages
and give as another reason the con
tinued presence of the state constabu-
larry.
Capt. Leon Pitcher of Troop B, state
constabularly, with twenty-five men
left here this morning for New Castle
in answer to the plea of the sheriff
for help in restraining the striking tin
plate workers there.

RIVAL IN SOUTHWEST
STRANGE DISCOVERY MADE BY
SANTA FE PROFESSOR
Finds Confirmation Of Indian Legends
in Documents In Spain and
Expedition Proves They
Are True

DENVER, July 21.-That mammoth
caves, containing caverns large enough
in which to place a city office building,
with natural stone bridges exceeding
in beauty and grandeur those of Utah
and Virginia, exist in northwestern
Arizona, is officially announced by
Prof. Edgar L. Hewitt, director Of the
branch school of American archaeol-
ogy, located at Santa Fe, N. NJ.
Stories of the existence of these Won
derful natural caverns have been told
by Indians of that section for centur-
les, but were thought by white men to
be merely legends of the aborigne.
Professor Hewitt, in conducting an
investigation of the records concern
ing Spanish occupation and control of
year ago, during which he unearthed
written proof of the claims of the In
dians.
Carrying out his determination to ex-
plore the region, Professor Hewitt or
ganized an expedition which started
from Gallup, ~ NJ, and, after sew
en-days journey by pack mule, the
caves were reached.
Indians guided him to the spot, and
conducted him through the gigantic
underground passages.
Professor Hewitt, who is in Denver
gave publicity to the story of his dis
covery yesterday. He will make an
other expedition to the caves next
spring. He claims to have discovered
traces of a race Of cliff dwellers hith-
erto unrecorded.

ATTEMPT MADE TO
WRECK FAST TRAIN
DETECTIVES FIND TIES ON
RAILROAD TRACK
Five Men Found Hiding Near Spot
When Obstruction Is Discovered
on West Shore r. r. Are
Arrested

NEW YORK, July 21.-The lodging
of five prisoners in the Jail at Hack
ensack, N. j., revealed the fact that a
desperate attempt was made to wreck
a fast train carrying valuable cargo
on the West Shore railroad near North
Bergen before daylight yesterday.
At a point across from the Hudson
river, at the upper end of Manhattan,
six ties had been thrown across the
track A few minutes before the fast
freight train from New York for the
west arrived the obstruction was dis
covered by three detectives and quickly
removed.
A gang of railroad thieves had been
operating in that vicinity for several
months, mostly confining their opera
tions to breaking into freight cars.
Five Men Found
From one car $1,000 worth of silks
was taken on Monday, and it was
while investigating this robbery the
detectives discovered the attempt to
wreck the train.
In searching the woods adjacent to
where the distractions were found the
officers discovered five men in hiding.
there and were locked up.
1t is estimated that many thousands
of dollars worth of valuable freight
has been stolen by the gang of rob-
bers. By wrecking the fast freight
train, it is believed the thieves would
have made an exceptionally rich haul.

YOUNGSTERS NEED NO

Implement Now Obsolete; Cats
May YowI in Peace

From Cleveland, which is in Ohio,
comes the wall of an old fashioned
man who longs for the things that
were. Desiring to secure a bootjack,
he visited six stores In his search, but
at none Of them was the article kept in
stock. In half the places the spruce
young clerks had never heard of such
a thing, and one bright youth Of later
generation brought out a shoe horn in
the confident belief that that was the
thing desired Not even in the souve-
mir shops could the object of search
be discovered.
Just what the effect upon the world
will be must remain undetermined until
several generations have grown up
without the bootJack, for it had uses
other than those for which the Cleve-
land man intended the article which he
sought. However essential it may have
been for the purpose for which IL was
designed-the removal of recalcitrant
footgear-it did valiant service in a

NATIONAL FORESTS, OF STATE VIRGIN
Sale of Billion Feet Annually
Would Improve Timber in
California Reserves

It IS estimated by the United States
forest service that the total amount Of
standing timber in the state of Cali

board feet, OF which los. SIG. eco, 600 feet
belongs TO the federal government,

and the remaining 117,3s4,OOO,00O feet
IS privately owned. OF the last figure
given, the, railroads own 1856, 100000
feet.
About IS per cent of the privately
owned timber, or a total OF 10000, 000,-
600 feet. is found in the coast redwood
region-a narrow strip rarely more
than 30 miles wide extending from
Monteres county to southern Oregon.
Very little OF this class of timber. only
fraction Of / per cent, belongs TO the
federal government, though it owns a
considerable proportion of the total
stand OF big tree or giant sequois, the
wood Of which is very similar TO that
OF the coast redwood.
The stand OF government timber may
be roughly divided as follows: On ma
tionaI forests. 81. 500. 600. 600 board feet;
on Indian reservations, $500, 600, 600
feet; on national parks. 5000, 100000
feet; on unreserved public land, s.216.-
