The Bucks Company and A. T.. r..

Cincinnati, O., July %. = 1T is
understood that the agreement We have
reached with the Bucks Stove and
Range Company does not affect the
standing Of the cases against john
Mitchell. Frank Morrison and myself,
in which we are charged with contempt
of court for having published notices OF
the boycott in the American Federation
of Labor Journal after the court had
cnjoincd us from doing so, said Sam
ueI Gompers, in statement following
the announcement Of the agreement.
The only change will be in the fact
that the Bucks Company's attorney
will drop out of the case"
Gompers declared the American
Federation OF Labor would aid the
striking railroad men in Canada, al
though they do not belong 10 the organ
ization.
The Grand Trunk men had no
other course than to strike when the
railroad refused to acccdc to their de-
mands. Nothing but death can keep
them from winning and death does not
come i'm such great numbers. "

EEEIGY STARTS ROW.

A dummy, attired in wrapper and a
sunbonnet, hanging in backyard in
Reading, Pa, in full view OF the whole
neighborhood, started a fight yesterday
between Mrs. Bridget O'Mara and Mrs
Mary Flanagan, neighbors, which
ended in Mrs. O'Mara accusing Mrs.
Flanagan of throwing bucket of ice
cold water over her and slap
ping her with dishrag. The neighbor-
hood has been at odds for some time
and as a climax Mrs. O'Mara fitted up
the figure in her backyard and said it
was Mrs. Flanagan. This was more
than Mrs. Flanagan could stand and
she became very active. After the al
legged assault, Mrs. O'Nlara swore out a
warrant for Mrs. Flanagan, who en-
tered bail for hearing.

ONE reason given out by the powers
that he for the recent dismissal of Col.
J. S. Mosby from the position he hclo
in the Department OF Justice was that
he was superannuated and could not bc
depended upon. But the real reason Is
that Col. Mosby knows too much about
the way the government has been
swindled by the land and cattle bar"l's
of the west and others holding pronll-
nent positions. Col. Mosby has always
looked after the government interests
whenever he has been in its employ.
For forty years before he was appointed
consul at Hong Kong, the collections at
that port were $4,000: during his SIX
and a half years service there rs con-
sul the collections Noted the govern
ment 100000 after every expense OF
the consulate was paid, including sal
ary rents. etc. Suits were. also lnst'-
tuted at his instance against former
consuls from which $40, 900 was rccov-
cred, making q total of SloO,ooo re-
ceived by the government Tor his
services during his six and hall years
as consul in China. 1t is also under
stood that when he was recalled as
special agent in the northwest ana sem
to Alabama to look after government
timber lands he collected $4,000 fol
the government, which would not have
been collected save for his active SER
vices. 1t is now said that the same IN
tiuence which caused Col. Mosby 5 dis
p,issal kept him from receiving an APP
pointment under Mckinlcy'S admins
tration. When Senator Gore begins
an examination into the Indian LAND
steal valuable information will be
placed in his possession.

4 DARING FEAT.

Rare presence Of mind was displayed
Monday when 0. W. Nelson, arriving
in an automobile with Miss Ellen
Smackel seized his companion in his
arms and leaped to safety on the pilot
of a train that threatened them with
death. The incident occurred at Roselle,
Ill.,, where the Elgin electric road
crosses the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul tracks. The couple were driv-
ing toward Chicago and as soon as they
we're on the tracks defect in mechan-
ism abruptly stalled the car. A freight
train was running toward them. The
engineer applied the brakes, but the
train maintained its velocity. As it was
about to crush the automobile and its
occupants, Nelson grasped Miss Smackel
about the waist and leaped for the
engine, clutching rail and hanging
on. The automobile was pushed off
the track and the train was not stopped
inside of 500 feet. Nelson was only
slightly bruised. Miss Smackel's only
injury was nervous shock.

A decision by the auditor for the
War Department disallowing a claim
for $1,000 for supplies to repair the
automobile OF Col. II. L. Scott, super
intendent of the West Point Military
Academy, was sustained by the comp
troller OF the treasury today, The latter
said that there was authority IN law
for the repairs of wagons, carts and
drayage used for military purposes
but none for the repairs OF automobiles
for the personal use OF an officer.
The quartermaster general of the army
sent the automobile to the quarter
master at West Point and resented the
disallowance of the repairs claimed by
the auditor. The Comptroller, how
ever, upheld the auditor and some
further action will be necessary to pay
the bill

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY !:

THE political opponents OF PRESIDENT
!. Taft are receiving reinforccmentS daily.
The insurgents secured negro allies IN
Washington last night when the prcsI-
dent was condemned at a meeting OF
the Washington branch of the NatIona
Negro Independent Political League
for his attitude toward the negro.
Those attending the meeting asserted
that the independent element among
colored voters has been steadily IN
creasing and Mr.. Taft's policy OF re-
fusing to appoint negroes TO office III
localities where white people objected
has greatly augmented the numbers OF
such voters in every section OF the
country where the negro Is OF any con-
siderable size. The meeting was hcld
with the special object OF giving eX-
preston to the opposition OF the league
to President Taft's southern policy
and to elect delegates to the annual
meeting OF the league at Atlantic City
August A and 5. The national league
led the opposition of independent
negro voters" in the last national Cant
paign against Mr.. Taft and the rcpuo-
lican party and urged the negro race to
vote for Mr.. Bryan rs the surest way 0!
rebuking the republican party. One
OF the speakers said:
In the southern states 90 per cent OF
the 100000 negro citizens OF the
United States are deprived OF the ballot,
The executive head of the federal gov
eminent within Is enthusiastically
admitted this disfranchiscmcnt in his
inaugural address and palliated the
violation of the federal constitution,
instead of declaring his purpose to en-
force the law in obedience to the oa'h
he had lust solemnly taken. President
William III. Taft even intimatcd the
legality of those devices for multiplying
the fifteenth amendment by state laws
which are as much worse than tralau-
lent practices as law is stronger tiia''
custom. The legislative branch OF the
federal government has viewed with
apathy and inaction their Migrant vio-
lation. The judicial branch has lodged
the issue in all cases brought involving
southern disfranchisemcnt laws.

The Strike i'm England.

London, July 20.-Today's earl y
additions to the strike on the North
eastern Railway brought the tota'
number of men up to 25, 900. A large
number of firemen joined the striking
switchmen today, forcing the company
to abandon practically all lis trains ex-
cept the most important mail connec'
tions. Even these are being run with
great difficulty, and if many more men
walkout, total te-up on the road Is
expected. The men went out without
warming, starting in the Newcastle
district and spreading to all portions
Of the line. They have not rs yet spccl-
fled their grievances. but declared they
have struck to protest against The
tyrannical methods Of the officials. "
London, July 20.-The strike of the
trainmen OF the Northeastern Railway
has reached serious proportions, 10000
railroad men being out and many
thousands of men being forced to lay
down their tools as result OF the
strike. Most OF the colieries, docks,
shipyards and factories reached by the
Northeastern were today compelled Ia
suspend operations, owing to then
inability TO receive supplies or to make
shipments. More trimmer are going
out every hour and complete ticul
seems probable.
