he never lost faith-even in the
dark days which it was his lot to
experience.-Superior Telegram.

fense of the good name of his cis-
ter, Frederick Shaw today shot and
probably fatally wounded his bro
ter, Henry, at their home here in
Ocean View a suburb.
The girl, Edithe, 90 years of age,
witnessed the shooting but was un-
able to interfere. The brothers had
quarreled and a hand to hand en-
counter had resulted before Shaw
used his revolver. He fired one bull
let. which penetrated Henry's left
breast.
Later at the city prison he told
the police that he fired only when
his brother attempted to hit him
with a set of brass knuclSles. Pend
ing Henry's injuries he will be held
on acharg0 OF assault with deadly
weapon
Henry in an ante-mortem state
ment to the authorities said that he
had upbraided his sister for what he
supposed to be unbecoming conduct.
He said that his younger brother,
Fred. overheard him and came to
Edithe's defense. Bitter words
passed, then blows. He refused to
make any accusation against his as
sailant, claiming that he believed
his brother meant to shoot him in
the arm
This statement was corroborated
by the younger brothers. account OF
the trouble.
He claimed also that he shot to
wing" his brother and did not in.
tend to wound him seriously.
The wounded brother is Al years
of age while his assailant Is 80.
The girl attributed the action OF
her elder brother to false tales con-
cerning her that had reached his
ears.

sible TO compile an exact list OF those
who escaped, but they number be-
tween 20 and 35.

OFFERS A REWARD
ThL authorities Announce That
Nearly All of the Building
Trades Who Went Out Last
Friday Have Returned to
Work.

Philadelphia, Pa, March S.--Di-
rector of Public Safety Henry Clay
today requisitioned every police Of
ficer and detective that can be
spared from patrol duty to search
for a carload of dynamite that dis
appeared mysteriously from the
yards of the Pennsylvania railroad
in West Philadelphia.
The car containing the dynamite
arrived here early yesterday. 1t was
shunted into the West Philadelphia
yards where it was thought it
would not be discovered by the
strike sympathizers.
Last evening the yard officials
telephoned to Clay the startling
news that the dynamite had disap-
peared. Clay Immediately notified
police authorities and two score of
police detectives were detailed on
the case.
With the knowledge that hun
dreds of sticks of explosive may be
in the hands of the strikers, the
authorities are confronted today
with the actual situation they have
feared since the strike began.
While it is not known positively
that the explosive has fallen into
the hands of the strikers, large
quantities of dynamite seldom are
stolen in times of industrial peace.
1t was reported today that a liberal
reward would be paid by the city,
and a second by the company to
which the shipment of dynamite was
for information that
would lead to the apprehension of
the thieves.
City authorities this afternoon an
nounced that information in their
indicated that nearly all
members of the building trades who
struck, last Friday at midnight,
have returned to work.
Strikers, however, deny any de-
fections and insist that more men
joined the walkout today.
AS an indication of the quiet con-
ditions, Director of Public Safety
Henry Clay. said that many police,
on almost constant duty.
had been allowed to go to their
homes.

Are Turned Toward Me-.
Castle Today. {
NO DISTURBANCE REPORTED
The Outcome of the Meeting
of the State Federation of
Labor, in Session Today, Be-
ing Watched Will State
Wide Strike Be CaIeId.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1RB.l

Philadelphia, Pa, March 8.-The
eyes of the strikers, of the opponents
and sympathizers are turned today
toward Newcastle, where the state
Federation of Labor is in session.
The labor men predict that the
Federation will decide to call a SYM
pathetic strike of union men and
women throughout Pennsylvania.
Business men, however, declared
that they do not expect such an ex-
treme measure on the part of the
state labor organization.
The announcement of the possibil-
ity of a statewide strike came as a
surprise to the majority of citizens
here. 1t is believed that only a
few labor leaders knew such a plan
was being considered by Federation
leaders.
officials of the Philadelphia
Transit Company today announced
that the strike of their car>men was
broken. They claimed that they
were running a normal service.
Their assertion was supported
someT hat by an increased number
of persons who rode on the cars.
The heavy police guards and police
patrol along the car lines was not
withdrawn.
No serious disturbance was re-
ported during the night and by day
light the city was quiet. 1t became
apparent that both sides are playing
a waiting game.
A canvass by leading newspaper
here indicates that $4,000 union
men have quit work. The city Off
cials claim that only 10000 men
are out and that many are seeking
to return to work. Union leaders,
however, still maintain that 1000
are out.
