RAGPlCKERS MAY GO OU'
New York City Sorters' Union De.
mands Higher Wages.

New York, June 2S.-A strike of rag
pickers is the latest labor trouble
threatening the New York public. Or
ganizers are now forming union in
this trade, accoding to an announce
ment, and strike for higher wages is
contemplated within few weeks.
''In this trade" the announcement
explains, there are boss ragpickers
who make contracts for the cuttings at
clothing factories and employ men
and women to sort them. The people
who sort the rags in cellars are the
worst paid workers to be found any
where and, in addition to this, the
work is unattractive and by no means
healthy. For this reason the pickers
whose union is to be known as the
Clip Sorters union want union wage
scale"

AMERICAN AlRSHIP SERVICE
German Syndicate to Put Zeppelin
DirigibIe Into Commission.

New York, June 28.-New York has
learned that the German syndicate
which is operating the Zeppelin air
ship Deutchland to carry passengers
on regular schedule between Fried
richshafen and Dusseldorf is already
planning to extend its activities to
America. 1t is announced that the
syndicate has under consideration the
possibility of putting Zeppelin diri-
gible into commission between New
York and Boston.
A ruling by the United States gov
ernment will first be necessary, how
ever, as to whether an airship is a
ship of something else. Should the
airship be put in the same family
with the ship of the seas or rivers II
would not be possible for German
company to operate in this country.
No ship carrying foreign flag can do
business on the inland waters or do q
coastwise trade.

TONG WAR RESULTS
IN TWO DEATHS
Long Strife Renewed In New
YOrk'S Chinatown.

New York, June 2S.-Two China
men are dead, a third is seriously
wounded in a hospital and seven Ori-
entails are under arrest as the result
of the renewal of the hostilities in
the never dying tong war in China
town.
Shu Foo, a Long Island laundryman,
was the first victim to succumb to the
wounds he received when fusillade
of shots broke loose while the Four
Brothers, one of the parties to the
irrepressible conflict, were celebrat-
ing an anniversary in Pell street, and
the On Leong Tong, their rivals, sore
over the murder recently of one of
their number, were gathered in force
In Mott street nearby and are alleged
to have raided the arriving banquet
ters.
The second victim was Son Jing, in
front of whose store at Mott and Pell
streets the heaviest shooting occurred.
Chu Pan, the third man to be struck
by the flying bullets, is expected TO re-
cover. He is under guard in hos
pital.
The outbreak was entirely unex-
pected, but the police rushed in in
time to confine the trouble to the i'm.
mediate locality and believe that
among the man they grabbed during
the melee they may be able to find
some guilty participants.
The two dead men were members of
the Four Brothers and the recent kill
| ing of Chong Fook Yuen is said to
be considered by fellow tong mem
bers of the dead man among the On
Leongs to have been adequately
| avenged.
Immediately after the shooting a
| big force of police was thrown into
| Chinatown, which was closed to out
| siders, and the district is being strong
| ly guarded to prevent a renewal of
l the warfare.

Washington. June 2S.-Seyen COM
mittees assigned by congress to poke
sharp sticks into dark places are ar.
ranging to do the work and tell con-
gress about it early in the next ses-
sion
First to apply the probe is the sem

The subcommittee, of which Rep
resentative Burke has charge, will
meet at Oklahoma City, Okla, in the
first week in August, to begin the in.
vestigation demanded by Representa-
tive Mcclure of Oklahoma. Senator
Gore charged that corruption was in
volved in an attempt to induce the
government to approve contracts that
X. j. F. McMurray had procured with
about 10000 Choctaws and Chicka-
saws.
The members of the Ballinger-Pin-

CANNON WOULD
RETAIN PLACE
Speaker to Be Candidate for
Reelection.
PRAISES THE TARIFF LAW

Says Only Mistake in the Measure
Was That in a Few Instances the
Duties Were Made a Little Too Low.
RdicuIes Those Who Cry "Czarism"
and "cannonism," Hoping to Fool
Somebody.
Washington, June 2S-Standing on
the steps of the White House Joseph
G. Cannon made a statement that was
taken to mean that he will be a candi-
date for the speakership of the next
congress, provided the Republicans
carry the next house. And of this
Cannon seemed to be supremely conf
dent.
Cannon was asked point blank
whether he would seek reelection as
speaker. 1t was pumped at him in
the midst of a glowing tribute which
he was paying to the tariff law. Con-
non stopped abruptly, looked hard at
his questioner, and then gave an an
swer which he has always withheld
from those who have cried against
"Cannonism"
God knows" he said, then waving
his arms, Il may be dead, or | may be
living. If you want to make hare
pie, first catch your hare. Possibly |
may be dead Some people would
think from the hurrah that would fol-
low, that there would be peace in the
universe There are few people who
think if / die that the universe would
go into chaos In my judgment it
does not make a particle of difference
| in the grand roundup whether | die or
live. What is true of me is true of
those people who, having nothing else
| to do, cry 'czarism' and 'Cannonism,
hoping to fool somebody.

the best of my ability. If We win it,

| ity. In any event, l am content"
Those who heard the speaker
| statement construe it as declaration
| that he will be a candidate for another
| term of welding the gavel. Uncle
Joe says that any man who will look

and then think for fifteen minutes will
| conclude that the Payne-Aldrich law is
| all right He thinks that the fact that
the bill has brought good revenues
into the treasury ought to satisfy
everybody, even those who hoped that
the law would reduce the cost of liv
ing. Cannon finds but one flaw in the
law.
ct looks as though in a few in
stances" he said, "the duties were
/ made a little too low. Take the cast
of boots and shoes. The imports o.
boots and shoes have been growing
steadily since the law was passed. i
looks as though the duty was made
lower than it ought to be, so that i
does not protect the home manufactur
er against the difference of cost a
home and abroad"

CITY OFFICERS EXEMPT
Corporation Officials May Also
Drive Autos Without Licenses.

Albany. Aug. 16.-Attorney General
OMalley to-day advised Samuel s. Koenig,
Secretary of State, that elective or ap-
pointive officers of a municipality, under
salary, may drive a motor car belonging
to such municipality without being licensed
chauffeurs unless they are employed for
that particular service. The opinion ap-
plies also to officers of corporations who
operate a motor car owned by the cor
poration not for hire an employe in
that particular capacity.
The Attorney Generals opinion also ad-
vises that the exemption clause contained
in the act exempting citizens of other
states and countries from the requirement
of a license when such other states or
countries grant like exemptions and privi-
leges TO citizens of New York State has
no application to the citizens of other
states or countries granting citizens Of
this state only temporary exemptions from
the requirements of their laws The ques-
ton arose because in some states nom
residents may receive a tourists license
good for seven days or upward on paying
a small fee. which entities them to exemp-
ton for that time from the state tax.
The Attorney General points out that the
exemption contained in the New York
State law is an absolute exemption apply
ing to residents of all states which grant
state granting only a qualified exemption
to New York citizens does not grant a
. .like exemption and is therefore not
entitled to the benefit of this clause.

her left arm. She was told that the doc
tor would not be at home until last night,
and when she called last night the maid
showed her to the waiting room to await
the return Of DR. Clark from a call.
Miss Sharkey evidently passed through
the folding doors into the doctors Office
and there selected the carbolic acid from
among his professional effects. On a pre-
scription blank she wrote:
Il want to die and don't want TO live
I won't stand for what l have any longer.

The maid discovered Miss Sharkey in
agony. She called DR.. E. ". Brown. of

dote and summoned an ambulance DR..

for her act as she had always seemed
happy She was twenty-three years old.
