Only 10000 sympathizers Out.
Director Of Public Safety Henry Clay
last night issued aYdetailed census of
:he workers who have responded to the
,all for a general sympathetic strike to
aid the car men who are fighting the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
According to this census, which was
taken by men from the police depart
ment, fewer than 10000 men are out
In sympathy with the car men. The
labor leaders, in the face Of this CEN
sus, however, reiterate their assertions
that at least 125,O0O men already have
responded to the general strike call and
that $4,000 more probably will walk out
today.
Statewide Strike Threatens.
BY far the most important Develop
ment last night in the strike situation
the general strike would be extended
until the call had been made to include
every union man in the entire state Of
Pennsylvania.
Elmer e. Greenawalt, president of
the state federation of labor, declares
that that body has power to call such
a strike. Altho he refused last night to
state positively that statewide strike
would be called, he gave out an inter-
view which is cited by the local strike
leaders to prove their contention that
the state federation, which will assem-
BILE today for Its annual convention at
New Castle. Is favorab1y inclined to the
proposition.
Hints at Second Revolution.
"The convention will have complete
authority to call statewide strike il
it sees At" said President Greenawalt,
'but as to the likelihood of such ac-
tion can not commit myself.
"The convention will represent 3O0,-
900 organized workingmen of this
state, a majority of whom are employed
in Philadelphia and Pittsburg. There
are about 100000 in Pittsburg. The sit
uation in Philadelphia is extremely
critical. One great American revolu-
ton was started there, and it might be
no strange thing if another one did so
but one of ballots instead of bullets.
"The State Federation of Labor will
go into politics with vim. Candidates
are to be put forward in every con-
gressional district, and in state as
sembly and senatorial districts, and
campaigns are to be waged with ex-
traordinary vigor. The nominations
will appeal not. only to organized work.
ers but to all@wage earners alike
In addition to the statewide general
strike q movement is on foot to have
the street car men Of Cleveland and
Omaha strike in sympathy with the
local street car union.

DAVENPORT

Prominent Farmer Missing. The
whereabouts Of Henry Meinhardt, a
prominent farmer residing on the Du-
buque road about two miles east of
Eldridge, has been unknown since
Tuesday afternoon and search Is now
being instituted by both his relatives
and the police department. Mr. Mem
hardt drove into the city Tuesday
morning with load of corn which he
disposed of to the Frey livery. Soon
afterwards he cashed a check for SGT
at the German Savings bank and the
last seen or heard of him since that
was early in the afternoon when he
made some purchases at the Moss
Clothing company. He mysteriously
disappeared and nothing whatever has
been seen of him. A telegram received
from Clinton states that a man an
swering in some, respects the descrip-
ttion sent out of Mr.. Meinhardt had
been found dead there, but little be-
lief is placed in this death by his rela-
tives. Mr. Mefnhardt is about A years
of age and wore black suit and is
easily noticed because of a slight limp,
due to an injury in HIS left leg.

Edna Freeman, a 15-year-old girl OF
Davenport, submitted to an operation
in which six square inches of skin
were taken from her body and grated
on to the body of her sister, Eunice
Freeman, aged 13 years, who was bad
ly burned month ago when a gasoline
stove exploded at her home in Daven-
port. Her neck and the lower part of
her face were so badly burned that it
was impossible for the wound to heal
without Disagreement. DR.. S. l.. Kay
lor of Des Moines, who had charge OF
the case, stated that skin grating was
the only way to save the child from
permanent Disagreement. Then it was
that her sister, Edna, agreed to submit
TO the operation. The skin was taken
from places on the girls thighs. At
tending physicians stated yesterday
that both patients were improving as
we'll as could be expected. The opera

a large share of this increase to the

for the five years. the increase was
worth more than 100000 a year.
The extra "a bushels have done much
to bolster up the diminishing food
supply.

kinds have been run for the benefit
Of the farmers. Oregon has run an

The camp extends about one and a half

The discipline in camp is perfect.
The troops drill about five hours each
day. There Is quite a contrast in the
manual of arms on account of the re-

of .deploying as skirmishers is quite
different. The general formation is
