the board of directors. These repre-
sentatiyes are elected by the two
branches of City Councils and the pres
emit directors are Mayor Reyburn,
George III. Earle, jr., and William III.
Carpenter.
Mayor Reyburn's opinion that the
probabilities of a general strike are
very remot was unchanged by the
action Of the Central Labor Union. The
Mayor said today that he questioned
whether the labor unions. controlled
$4,000 men or even much more than a
third of that number. "All that / can
see, in their action is that they hope it
may bring about some settlement he
concluded.
Yesterdays rioting resulted in the
death of a man and a boy, the injury
OF two boys from bullets and the
wounding of half a hundred other per-
sons from flying missiles and police
mems clubs. More than 100 arrests
were made.
At Forty7ffth street and Lancaster
avenue today the stoning of a car re-
suited in the calling out of police re-
serves and II man was badly beaten
by police clubs and sent to a hospital.
At another place near the scene of this
trouble q policeman suffered a probably
fractured skull in a peculiar manner
He was leaving a ~pay-within car to
stop a band of boys from stoning the
trolley when the motorman closed the
door too quickly. The automatic turning
up of the step tripped the policeman
and he was pitched head first into the
street.
c. Q. Pratt. of the garments union,
said today that he believed public
sentiment would force a settlement of
the strike before Saturday and that a
general strike would not be necessary.
He further said: 20
THE carmen's union made an agree
ment with the company last June. and
we are prepared to prove that every
clause, was broken by them. That IL
why they are afraid To meet up in

URGE BILLS TO INCREASE
POLIcEMEN'S PENSIONS.
Former Head Of P. b. A. Appears
to Uphold New Measure.

At the legislative conference of the
city department heads today in the City
Hall. Patrolman Henry Weller, former
head OF the Patrolmen's Benevolent AS
sociation, appeared to speak in behalf
OF two bills, House bill No. 256, con-
corning the extension of police depart
ment pensions, and House bill No. PSF,
which provides a second scheme for
raising, through a public tax, the PEN
sion fund for the police department. +
In speaking of the first bill, Weller
said that one of the main benefits
which would accrue from its passage
would be Riding the department of the
older men from its service. The bill
provides that any person having served
twenty years on the force, ON reaching
80 years, may retire on half pay.
Alderman Jerome T. Congleton asked
why the veteran reserve bill, now in
force, which provides that at the dis
erection of the Police Board aged men
may be retired. but still be retained on
the roll of the department and liable
for duty for which they shall receive
full pay. would not supply all needs
which House bill 256 aims to supply.
Finally, at the suggestion of Mayor
Haussling, the matter was laid over
until next weeks meeting of the legis-
latipe conference.
House bill 257. which provides for the
raising through public tax OF per
cent. of the total amount paid out in
police salaries. to be reserved as a
police pension fund. was discussed for
some time without any definite action
being decided upon.

REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.

The Republicans held their county
convention in the district court room
Saturday afternoon, to elect delegates
to attend the state convention, which
convenes in Colorado Springs on
September Goth. A fair representa-
ton was present from the several
precincts.
L. j. Williams was chairman and
G.. NJ. Laird, secretary. No resolutions
were adopted, this part of the order
of business being delegated to a
committee of three. which will report
at the next county convention. Sat
urday's meeting was devoid of inter
est or enthusiasm. as is generally
the outcome of Republican conven-
ton, particularly in this county,
where Republican strength is weak.
The gathering seemed to be more in
terested in what the Democrats were
doing at their meeting than they
were in what was transpiring in their
own convention. The work of the con.
vention was hurried through, as the
delegates were anxious to get to the
Democratic convention. A Democratic
convention is invariably interesting
not alone to the members of that
party, but to the Republicans as
well.
The delegates to the state and con-
gress.onal conventions werd hurried
ly selected, and the convention ad-
journed to meet again on Saturday,
September cath, when the county
ticket will be nominated. The dele
gates elected were:
II. Longnecker, Harry Eilmann, w.
c. Matthews, Matt Edwards, Thomas
Dunstone, Thomas Mitchell George

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Popular Young Couple Have Narrow
Escape From Drowning When
Horse Attempts to Swim
Across Missouri Lake.

What may have been the saddest
occurrence for many day, was mar
rowly averted last Sunday afternoon
between A and 5 o'clock when the
horse drawing the buggy containing
George Rule and Miss Gay McKinncn,
of this city. tried to swim across
Missouri lake.
Mr.. Rule and companion left early
Sunday morning for Wideawake and
other northern parts of the county
ing via Missouri lake. When the lake
was reached the horse commenced to
act as though it wanted drink. The
water of the lake near the road is
about ankle deep, and joy-riders fire.
quently drive through the edge of the
lake instead of the road.
When it was seen that the horse
wanted drink, the driver, George
of course, drove to the edge of the
water. He then discovered that the
horse wanted to swim instead, and
was already in the water waist-deep.
Holding the reins in one hand, Mr..
Rule caught his fair companion with
his free arm and with won1rous
strength lifted her safely from the
buggy and placed her on the shore
with net a seconds time to spare,
as the water by this time was well
over the wheel-tops. He then turned
his attention TO saving the horse, but
to ro avail as the horse was headed
straight for the middle of the lake. In
q few seconds nothing could be seen
Of the buggy or the horse. All that
was visible were particles of the
lunch and the whip, which floated on
top.
John Miller, who lives at the lake,
was notified of the accident, and tel
cchoned to Oscar Williams, owner of
the turnout, and told him of the ac-
cident. \ rig was Immediately sent
ont to meet the couple, who were by
this time drenched as it rained con-
tinually during the entire time. They
set out to walk and were met at Gun
dy's ranch by the rig.
Miss McKinnon IS loser a suitcase
pocketbook containing several nick
nacks ard some pin money" while
Mr.. Rule is out coed shot gun and
the game 90 killed on the trip. All
will probably be recovered as soon as
the water clears. The horse and part
of the buggy was taken out by John
Miller shortly after the accident. The
couple were taken care of after
reaching home, and after change OF
linen were none the worse for their
narrowing experience.
