American Telephone Co.
Buys Up Stock
Recently Sold by Mackay In
terests, Paying Cash.
Will Give Postal and Western Union
Same Service at Same Price.

Boston, March 4.-The purchase by
the American Telephone Co. of the 3d.
900 shares Of it's stock recently sold by
the Mackay Cos. was announced here
today by President Theodore N. Vail.
President Vail says that the stock
was secured at price representing a
cash overturn of between $11 900, 900 and
s12, 100000.
1t is the plan of the American Tele-
phone Co, according to President Vail,
to utilize the Mackay stock in ex-
change for the stocks of several of the
subsidiary companies which are being
refinanced and re-grouped, in order
to confine the physical property of the
operating companies to establish state
lines.
President Vail denied that there was
any basis for the assertions that a rate
war between the Western Union and
the Postal Is impending.
On the other hand, in carrying out
the plan for the increased use of the
telegraph, President Vail said that
the Telephone Co. is prepared and ex-
poets to afford to the Postal the same
advantages of handling telegraph mes
sages over telephone wires as is ex-
tended to the Western Union and at
the same rate.
1t is understood here that the pur-
chase of the Mackay stock was on a
cash basis, the Telephone Co. paying
for it with a single check

Every Union Worker in City Ordered
To Stop Work, Beginning at Mid
night--AN Non-union Workers Al
so Urged to Join Movement.

Philadelphia March 4.-Encouraged
by messages of sympathy and offers
of assistance from labor organizations
| from all parts of the country, the union
workers of many trades ceased work
at midnight and inaugurated what
promises to be one of the greatest
sympathetic strikes in the history of
organized labor. The Committee of
Ten engineering this big strike say at
least $4,000 organized workers as well
as many unorganized sympathiZers of
the street car men have already ceas-
ed to work.
Promptly at midnight union orces-
tras playing in the leading hotels and
cafes picked up their instruments and
started for their homes
Union cab drivers and chauffeurs al
so abandoned their posts and the hotel
and railroad cab and automobile SER
vice was badly crippled. The drivers
of both taXicab services in the city are
members of union and refused to
take out their machines after the strike
had gone into effect.
The Committee of Ten remained in
session at its headquarters all night
receiving reports from the various To-
cal unions.
The labor leaders refused to COM
ment on the report that the police Of
ficials would prevent the demonstra-
ton planned for tomorrow afternoon
in Independence square.
Rioting tonight in several sections
of the city was particularly severe in
the northeastern district and is
thought to be a forerunner of more
serious trouble tomorrow, when thous-
ands of idle men will throng the
streets.

THE REAL OWNERS,
Mrs. Glover Says She Has
Title to the Laundry
Conducted by Murdered Illus.
band---AIso Owns Home.
Brothers May Not Get Much Il
GIover's will Is Broken.

| Cambridge, Mass, March AIRS
Lillian NJ. Glover's fourth day on the
witness stand in the probate court
where practically an investigation OF
the murder of her husband is being
conducted, was more in her favor than
the other three Her opponents lead
ing counsel completed his direct ex.
animation ard apparently little more
remains to be drawn out from the wild
ow of the murdered Waltham laun-
dryman. The cross examination by
her own counsel, which will probably
begin Monday, is expected to clear up
at least part of the testimony which
may seem damaging.
Mr.. Scott the counsel for the Glover
brothers who are objecting to the al
lowance of the will. which gives the
property to the widow and another
brother, has based his case on the
ground of undue influence on the part
of Mrs. Glover, as WelI as threats,
and the claim that Glover made the
will while in fear of his wife.
Mr.. Scott has endeavored to show
that Mrs Glover knew more of the
murder than has yet been disclosed,
intimating even that she might have
instigated it because of her hatred
through her husbands alleged rela-
tons with her servant, Hattie Lee
Blanc.
On many of the critical points in
the examination, especially those to-
day which related to alleged threats
by Mrs. Glover against her husband,
and her reported remarks that she
was glad that some one killed him,
she replied with a direct denial
She admitted today that she talked
but did not show any such weapon.
In the search for Hattie Leblanc in
her house, she admitted accompanying
the officers, but said she was afraid
to stay alone. 1t was after the third
search that the girl was found in the
house, much to Mrs. GlOver'S appar-
ent astonishment
She declared that she had bill of
sale for the laundry and that she
owned the house in which she lived.
She even offered to show a bill of sale
for the laundry. AS that is the prin-
cipal piece of property in the estate
the brothers may not get much if the
will is broken.
The examination by another of the
opposing counsel will continue on
Monday.

Up to Friday Night in

Of The Faro Men.
Many Boston Business Men Were
FIeeced BY the Gang.

Boston. March 4.-Up to tonight the
expectation of additional arrests in
connection with the wrecking of the
National City Bank of Cambridge had
not been fulfilled. When young Wilson
I.ockhart, intimate friend and chauf-
feur of George w. Coleman. the ac-
cused bookkeeper, was taken into
custody last night charged with aid
ing Coleman in his (Lockhart's) ca
pacity as extra clerk. it was predict
ed that several other arrests would
follow shortly.
After Lockhart had appeared before

manded to Jail in default of $4,000

declares that many Boston business
men have been fieeced of thousands Of
dollars. The reticence of the victims
to report their losses has handicapped

to have enough information to warrant
presenting the case TO the grand jury.
Several Of the alleged members OF

unknown. 1t is rumored about the
city that two of them left New York
yesterday for the European continent.

fling of the final decree.
After Justice Mills had signed the de-
cree he handed the papers back to Mrs.
Astor's counsel, who tucked them away
in his pocket and hurried to catch a
train. leaving an inuuiring crowd Of
reporters on a vain quest to obtain in
formation concerning the alimony set
tIement and the disposition of the As
tor children.
The decree will be filed later in the
county clerks office in Poughkeepsie.
Mrs Astor brought suit against Col
onel Aston last year for divorce on

learn the details of Colonel Astor's al
legged offenses.

wife will have the custody of the two
children, William Vincent Aston and
Alva Alice Muriel Aston, is not known.
Social circles hear that Mrs. Aston will

On the eve of the signing of the final
decree Colonel Aston gave magnifi-
cent bali last night at his newly re-
modelled mansion on Fifth avenue.
