STRIKE IS MERELY MAKING

Withdrawal Of Policemen From the
Streets for Duty at the Polls Caus.
ed the Companies to Attempt to
Move Little Traffic Today. ,

New York, Nov. 8.-Although today
was expected to mark time in the
strike Of the express company drivers
and helpers. owing to the apparent
disposition of the labor leaders to
postpone the consideration Of the
general strike until after election.
unexpected interest was injected in
to the sympathetic movement in aid Of
the strikers today by the announce
ment that 1000 additional taxicab
chauffers had Joined the strike. This
made, according to Secretary Forest
er Of the International Brotherhood
Of Teamsters, total of 1900
chauffeurs on strike, despite the fact
that 900 taxicabies employed for the
most part by the smaller companies
which had made agreements with
their men. went back to work today.
A general agreement among the
express companies was announced
under which it was expected that few
attempts would be made to move ex-
press traffic today, owing to the with-
drawal Of so many policemen from
the streets to duty at polls. There
were no early reports of disorder In
connection with the strike.

ARE SUSPECTED
Three Men Found Who Started Half
Million Incendiary Fire.

Philadelphia, Nov. 8.-Incendiarism
is said to be back of the Vine street
fire Of Thursday night, in which prop
erty estimated to be worth $5a0 800
was destroyed. a score of city aremen
injured and the many patients in the
Hahnemann hospital endangered.
Fire Marshall Lattimer admitted to-
day that three men were suspected
of having applied the torch and were
being kept under surveillance. with
the probabilities that their arrest
would be accomplished before night
fall.
The theory of incendiarism was un-
earthed in the investigation the chief
has been making, with the heads Of
the fire department and other city
officials, to ascertain the causes Of
the confagration.
There are reasons to believe that
the fire was started by an incendiary
or by incendiaries," said Lattimer.
II can't talk further on the matter
at this time, because it might lead to
the undoing Of our investigation. But
it is true that the exact cause Of the
fire has not been learned. and VIC
mean to find out IL it takes all wins

Winnipeg, Nov. Sat least one life

escaped or wandered away unnoticed
during the excitement following the
discovery of the fire and the transfer
Of the patients to places Of safety.
She perished from exposure, but al
though life was extinct when the body
was found by q skating party enfoute
to Lake Perry, 1t was still warm, in
dicating that the unfortunate woman
had survived for many hours.
According to information given to
the Free Press last evening by resi-
dents Of Brandon arriving in the city,
this is the only fatality known to
have occurred, though three men are
yet unaccounted for and are believed
to be rowing around among the farms.

of the fire. The missing men are not
dangerously insane, but are really ca

under ordinary circumstances. Their
recapture is only q matter of few
days at the most. Several of the pa
tients who escaped Friday night were
captured in the district Saturday aft

being set apart for the women and

The Trouble Now Is to Determine
What Is Meant by Loyal Men
Motormen and Conductors Voted to
Strike Today.

Philadelphia, Nov. 8.-Philadelphia
is threatened with another street car
strike. At two meetings of the mo-
tormen and conductors of the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit company it
was voted to go on strike at a certain
hour today to be named by the mems
executive committee, unless the ar
bitrators agree on one of the points
still at issue. The men, it is de-
clared, wanted to go on strike imme-
diately, but the strike was halted by
thhe leaders.
The arbitrators are Raymond Rob-
ins of Chicago representing the men,
and John G. Vogler representing the
company. They are authorized to
call in a third man if they cannot
agree. The point upon which two ar
bitrators are deadlocked is the inter-
probation to be placed upon the term

was settled the company reserved
the right to give preference to men
who had remained loyal" to the

BANKER SUICIDES
Manager of Dauphin Branch of Union
Bank Ends Life.

Dauphin, Man, Nov. 8.-The people
Of the town were shocked yesterday
when the news spread that George N.
Jost, manager of the Union bank, had
committed suicide by shooting him
self. During the past few days he
had been complaining of not feeling
we'll, and on Saturday night consulted
doctor, who told him that his tenn
perature was high, and that it indicat-
ed typhoid fever. On Sunday morn
ing the doctor again called and told
him he had the fever and that he
would arrange to have him placed in
the hospital. The friend with whom
he was staying left the premises for
a short time, and during this period
Mr.. Jost procured gun and retired
to the stable where he managed to dis
charge the gun by STOPPING over it
and pulling the trigger. The charge
entered the upper part Of the abdomen
over the left side of the stomach.
When found he was still alive, but eX-
pired after few minutes.
Coroner Harrington held an in
quest and the verdict of the jury was
that Jost came to his death by gun
shot wound while in a state of tenn
porary insanity brought on by high
state Of temperature in the early
stages of typhoid fever.

PLAYED WITH DEATH
Eleven Year Old Girl Carried Two
Pals of Nitroglycerine.

Washington, Pa, Nov. 8.-Totally
ignorant of the danger that surround
ed her and under the impression that
she was carrying water, 11-year-old
Mildred Anderson today tripped along,
in each hand pail of nitroglycerine
which had been prepared for shooting
an oil we'll on the Cameron farm near
here. As she carelessly swung the
pals the laborers stood breathless a
hundred yards away, fearing every
moment to see the child hurled into
eternity.
At quiet command from her faith
er the child set the pals down and
was taken out of danger. The men,
uhnerved. suspended work for the day.

the present time the dispensary alone
is open and patients are received each
day at noon.
The only persons in the building at
the time were Janitor Siegerman, his
wife and their children, Rose and
Bessie. The flames burst forth in a
second floor room in what is known
as Clinic No. 1. The origin is said to
have been from woodwork being too
close to the heater pipes.
Seigerman guided his family down
the steps and sounded an alarm.
Then he seized floor mop and DASH
ed up the stairs again. When the
firemen arrived they found little
blaze.
At the first cry of fire" Worship
ers in the synagogue, rose from their
knees in great alarm and Instructive
ly turned toward the doors. Some
scrambled over seats while others
grabbed up children and women and
began pushing towards the exits.
The changing of the fire engine
caused such excitement that some
fell to the pavement and began pray
ing. Order was restored after a
while and the worshipers returned to
their prayers.
