SITUATION BAD IN STRIKE DISTRICT Investigation of aflirS By
 Court Is Just tnded SERIOUS CHARGES MADE Imported Men Do Not Stick at Work in Car cOmpany's Plant, and Tell
 Tales of Abuse That Are
 of Shocking Nature.
SERIOUS CHARGES MADE

Pittsburg, August 2S-(Special)-Th federal probe into the conditions within the stockade at the Pressed Steel Car company's NIoKee's Rocks plant came to an end this afternoon and as a result information will be made immediately against deputies at the plant and two or three officials at the works.
 But the most significant action was a joint conference which followed the close of the investigation attended by repre- sentatives of the department of commerce and labor and immigration officials. Tes- timony that foreigners employed as strikebreakers by the car company were taken from ships in American harbors and shipped direct to the Schoenvilie plant without being passed through the office of the immigration inspector has caused the immigration department to take a hand and it is seeking the names of foreign lobarers who were brought here contrary to the labor laws.
 As result of the testimony given before Government Agent II. W. Hoag- land, suits charging assault and battery are being prepared for filing against some of the Pressed Steel Car companys policemen and the officials in charge of them, by some of the imported men.
 Fifty of the strikebreakers released from Imprisonment behind the stockade testified at today's hearing Man after man testified that it had been impossi- ble for them to leave the Pressed Steel Car companys plant. the sensational tales reaching a climax when Frank Clancy, a skilled artisan and leader of yesterdays exodus, said that Samuel Cohn. chief strillebreaker had offered him s100 to withdraw a rebellous petition, circulated among the dissatisfied men,
 A bloody shirt was exhibited by one witness as mute evidence of an attack upon him by guards. Clancy told of the escape of the strilxebreakers from the works yesterday. He said:
 When we started we had to fight our way through the gates. Jack Shepard, one of Monk Eastman's gang from New York, tried to stop us, but we beat him to it."
 The government officers declined to say anything about the course at the close of the hearing
 One hundred and fifty more imported men left the plant this morning and came in to headquarters of the strike committee. They gave startling evidence of the abuse they had suffered at the hands of the companys agents.
 We have all of that evidence we need" was Federal Attorney Jordans signif- cant comment.
 Recognizing one of the company police men. whom they accuse of having mis- treated them while they were at work, a number of strikebreakers in the cor ridor of the building this morning chased the man down Fourth avenue and for a time it looked as as though bloody riot would be enacted in the very heart of the business section of the greater city. A riot Jeall was sent in and half dozen members of the downtown mounted po- lice squad assisting in dispersing the maddened men.

SEND CHANGE'
 SAID THE YOUTH
AND HE MADE AWAY WITH "SEV- ERAL" $16 AND SEVERAL PAIRS OF sHoES-BooEKER GIVES WARNING.

A smooth youngster has succeeded in "fimaamming" number of merchants during the past few days. Shoe stores appear to be his "piekng.' Calling up a shoe store he orders a pair of shoes costing Ss or S4. and asks that they be sent to a certain address with change for SEQ. He would conclude with saying that he had a S20 certified check. The shoes would be sent to him, the negro porter would give him the change and in turn he would give the negro a check
 Upon the porter's return to the store it would be discovered that the check was of no value. sometimes being mere ly a blank check Further discovery would generally show the house to be vacant
 In addition to the stores. number or good housewives have been "flimflam- med" in the same manner supposedly by the same person. The matter has been reported to the police department and Chief Bodeker has requested that people be more careful in such matters and when they receive suspicious re- quests for the sending of change to re- port the matter to police headquarters immediately In this way men could be detailed to go out with the messenger and in all probability catch the swindler.
 Drug stores, too, have recently been bunkoed in the same manner.

Congratulations for curtiss.

New York, August 2S-The winning of the international aviation cup at Rheims today by Glenn H. Curtiss the. Amer iean aviator, was received in aeronauti- cal circles and by the general public here with great delight and preparations will be made to give Curtiss a hearty demonstration on his arrival from abroad The American winner of the James Cor don Bennett trophy Is expected to reach New York the middle of next month
 Glenn Curtiss comes from Hammonds- port, N. T., and there, in the quiet of the vineyard country, he. turned over in his mind the ideas that led up to the devel- opment of his marvellous aeroplane The aviator believed that high power could be controlled on an aeroplane just as he controlled high power before on a motorcycle and won a race at Ormond Beach in time that has never been equalled. Curtiss worked quietly away in his airship shop at Hammondsport day after day, and the idea took definite form.
 Behind this quiet, unassumng Ameri- can stood his wife, confident in his fu- ture success and spurring him on when discouraged When Curtiss sailed away for Rheims early in the month, his wife stood on the pier and as the ship Savoy cast off her lines, she called to him.
 Be sure and bring back that cup"
 'I'n do my best" called back the avia- tor. Tt won't be my fault if the Amer ican flag you gave me is not first across the line"
 Curtiss had been practicing with a bi- plane at Mineola, near this city. for over month before he sailed for France. His flights at Mineola convinced him that the biplane could stand a higher power motor. He went back to Hammondsport and there. built a new machine with which to compete for the Bennett cup.
 This machine, according to A. NJ. Her ring partner of Curtiss, carries the largest and most powerful motor ever installed on an aeroplane, though odd ly enough the machine is probably one of the smallest that ever has made flight Curtiss took it abroad as his per sonal baggage, as it only weighed 400 pounds. The motor is 60-horsepower affair.
 Members of the Aero club did not in- form Curtiss that he had been selected to represent America in the Rheims con tests until about four weeks before his departure, and his biplane was hardly given a trial on this side of the At lantic before he sailed.
 Curtiss has promised to compete in the Hudson Fulton memorial flights in
