Reported That Longshoremen
Have Voted Against Going
Out on Strike. +
REFERENDUM VOTE WAS =.
5 CLOSE BUT DECISIVE
No Change in the Situation AT
fecting Engineers and Lake j:
Seamen.

Advices from down lake ports, not
ably Cleveland state that the long
shoremen have voted against strike
by the small majority Of about 200,
Efforts to interview T. V. O'Connor,
shoremen's union on the strike ques-
ton have not resulted in throwing
much new light on the subject.
Mr.. OConnor admitted that the vote
has been very close and said that
where so large vote is cast there is
always the possibility Of mistake. He
has declined to, make official an
nouncement until the vote has been
recanvassed.
1t is reported that the returns from
the various locals about the Great
Lakes are all in. Mr.. O'ConnOr has
stated that the result Of the referen-
dunn vote would have a great bearing
on his decision as to whether or not
the strike shall be declared. He has
been given carte blanche in this mat
ter, and may call the longshorenen
out at any time without further con!
sultation with the executive board.
Mr.. O'Connor stated yesterday that
the vote is being carefully gone over
and that the results will be made pub
lie today OF tomorrow. .-,.. ~
The opinion prevails generally
among marine men and labor leaders
that no strike will he declared this
year and the differences between the
union and the lake carriers will be
gradually adjusted between now and
the opening of navigation in 1910. 1T
IS not believed that Mr Q.Gonnor VII!
go contrary~,to the, maj ajoE3t5EssVkGGAtet et~dp
the strike question, or call his men out
if the vote is reasonably close
G. L. Douglass, Duluth representa-
tive of the Western Transit company
who was In Cleveland, Buffalo and
other lower lake ports about two weeks
ago, stated on his return that from
the best information obtainable h<
was convinced that the longshoremer
would not strike this year and in thu
past two weeks the situation has, de-
veloped along that line. t;:;.
The other marine workers who arr
at outs with the Lake Carriers a4so-
citation, including the engineers AM
seamen, have been awaiting the de-
cision of the longshoremen with con-
siderable interest. as the moral sup
port lent them in case Of strike by
longshoremen would help them great
ly in their present fight. Presiden
O'Connor has made it plain on severa
! occasions that his union has griev-
ances of it's own, and that no sympa,
thetic strike has been or will be con-
sidered. =
Two members of the Duluth loca
of the Marine Engineers Beneficial
association stated that while most q
their men are at present employed
they are ready to quit and sign will

Will promote honest dealing and legit-
innate trading. AS president, he de-
clared, he will use his efforts to those
ends. -.
Duluth has been Disseminated
against in railroad rates, the speaker
averred, but that with the coming OF
the steel plant and other manufactur-
ing institutions, the railroads will be
compelled to recognize the Zenith
City and equalize rates to the west,
giving Duluth the same opportunities
as the Twin Cities. He urged con
certed action on the part of Duluth
ians to procure manufacturing plants
and declared > every Duluth citizen
should put his shoulder to the wheel

CONDENSED NEGRO
LYNCHED By MOB.

Tallahassee, Fla, June 6.-Dangling
from a limb in the county jail yard,
and within sight of the dome Of Flor,
ida's capitol, the lifeless body Of Mike
Morris, colored, greeted the people Of
this city this morning: Already con-
demned TO death for the murder of
William Langston, late sheriff of this
county, this negro on Friday, June II,
would have paid the penalty Of his
crime with his life at the hands of the
law. A mob Of not more than Is men
decreed otherwise however, and at
O'Clock this morning Morris was drag
ged from his cell in the Jail and strung
to the limb of tree within the jail in
closure. AS if to add emphasis to
their lawlessness, the masked band
emptied round of cartridges into the
lifeless body Of the negro and rode
away without the slightest molesta-
ton.
Sheriff Houston was in Georgia and
when the lynchers arrived at the Jail
they brought the jailer to the door
with the ruse that they had prisoner,
overpowered him, took mis- keys: secur-
ed the negro Morris, locked the jailer
in Morris cell and soon accomplished
their work.
Lately Morris had been acting
strangely, and it is believed that fear
that the negro would attempt to es-
cape the gallows through feigned in
sanity prompted the act Of the mob
members who this morning took the
law into their own hands to avenge
the death Of Sheriff Langston.
Langston was killed by the negro
Morris in March, last, while the
sheriff was attempting to arrest him
for crime committed in Georgia,
There was considerable excitement
following the killing of the officer and
for three days posses. Win bioco-
hounds secured the turpentine woods
and swamps in search of Morris,
lynching being recognized as inevita-
bl in case of capture at that time.
He was later captured in Georgia and
taken to Jacksonville for safekeeping
until the date of his trial here. Nor
ris pleaded guilty to the murder
charge, received the death sentence,
and Gov. Gi!christ named an early
date for his execution, since when
there has been no intination of lynch
ing
The coroner's inquest today failed
to develop any clue as to the identity
of the men composing the mob.

FARMER SHOT DEAD
BY NEGRO TENANT.

Denmark, June5.- j. A. Nix, a farm
er living near Denmark, was shot and
instantly killed this n orning by 1sa-
dore Nirl2aons, a negro tenaAt. Mr..

Of the women, VINO called Nimmons
70 her rslief, Nimmons rushed in and
shot Nix through the neck without
giving any warning and again through
the body as he fell out Of the door.
Nix has been given trouble by the ne
groes many times. and it became
known today that Nimmons had
threatened in the earlier part of the
week 70 commit the crime and had
prepared himself for it. The news of
the tragedy spread rapidly and soon
hundreds of citizens and officers of
tie Law with bloodhounds were in pur-
suit Of the negro.
Several hours after the crime the
negro was seen about six miles from
the Nix place, near Baxter's estate,
where he was reared, but the Bamberg
dogs failed to carry the trail further.
Dogs arrived from Columbia on the
midday train, but no results were re-
ported.
Nix was a strong, hard-working
man. Ha leaves wife, three daugh-
ters and one son.

Case Of lufanticide.

Coroner B. B. Clarke received a
telephone message from Magistrate
Shealy at Fredonia on Sunday. stating
that female infant had been found
on rock pile in the vicinity of Cedar
Grove church. The message was re-
ceived too late for Mr.. Clarke to get
to the scene in time to hold the in
quest Sunday and he ordered MagiS-
trate Shealy to proceed. A jury was
empaneled and viewed the body, but
for lack of evidence the inquest was
not concluded and the matter will be
looked into further.
Corener Clarke went down on Mon
day to make an investigation himself
and he and Magistrate Shealy will
leave no stone unturned that will
throw light on what seems to be a
clear case of infanticide.

CLEVE TANNING
FCUL-Y SLAIN.

Williston, J me 5.-Cleve Tanning
was slain from ambush last night,
near the old Phillips mill site, by
party whose identity is suspected,
but whose whereabout are not known.
Mr.. Tanning was driving along the
unfrequented road. when he was shot
from behind a tall pine. Mr.. Fan
ning's house and buggy came to a
neighbour home, and it was seen that
the buggy was bloody. His brother,
Jack Tanning, who has charge of the
county chalngan:", was notified to
come and bring the hounds. The
searching party found the dead body
near the old Phillips mill site, which
is about two and Il hail miles north
Of town.
Since there was no other trail than
the murderer's the dogs mad no trou-
bic in picking it up from behind a
large pine, wbege the murderer stood
to shoot his VI as be sat in the
buggy. The trail was then followed
through the woods, for the fleeing man
did not trust himself TO the travelled
roads, to point on the Edisto river
about six and half miles from the
killing. There the dogs stopped at
tree on the rivers bank and looked
up az if they had the victim treed,
but on closer examination it was seen
where he had united his boat. The
dogs swan around in the river, but
could pick up 40 trail on the other
side.

BATTLE FOR CUE Title
George Sutton and George F. Slosson
Will Meet Tonight In Madison
Square Garden, New York.
Snecial to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Jan. 26.-George Sutton
and George F. Slosson will meet to-
night for the worlds championship
title at 1871 balkline billiards in the
concert hall at Madison Square Gar
den. Sutton is the present holder of
the title and emblem, while Slosson,
''the student" is the challenger Both
men have been practicing diligently
for the match in this city for the
last few weeks and both have been
playing in excellent form.
1t is barely possible that this match
between Sutton and Slosson will be
the last big contest at that style of
game. The public doesn't care much
for the one-shot-in game because it
is too difficult and therefore tedious.
Sensational runs are infrequent at
1871, the cue stars themselves finding
it not to their liking.
Sutton, of all the great players,
cares least for the 1871 style. His
specially is nursing, and that, of
course, is made extremely difficult by
being allowed only one shot in balk.
For that reason Slosson is figured to
have fine chance against the cham
pion in tonight's match. Slosson is
noted as hard player and difficult
execution is what he likes best.
For nearly forty years Slosson has
been one of the leading figures in the
billiard world, and if he should beat
Sutton in this game he might keep
the title, as it is doubtful, as stated
before whether any more big games
