CANNOT GET MONEY
Biennial Conclaye of Knights
of Pythias May Not Be
Held in Milwaukee
ARE THE SOCIALISTS TO BLAME?

The biennial conclave of the Uni
form Rank knights of Pythias may
not be held in Milwaukee next August
as the finance committee appointed to
raise 100000 required to insure the
success of the meeting report that but
| $1,000 has been raised after several
weeks of work. V. j. Schoenecker,
defeated candidate for mayor of Mil
waukee and chairman Of the finance
committee, is d,sheartened as are all
members.
1t is claimed that the election
Of the Social Democratic ticket in Mil
waukee is in a great way responsible
for the failure to raise the necessary
amount.
At meeting of the executive com
mittee in the Hotel Blatz, Milwaukee,
| it was found that after much strenuous
work the total fund is slightly over
81 900. This includes the amount
contributed by individual lodges, and
fund raised by means of theatre
parties to care for preliminary eX-
penses. Not all of the 81, 900 has
been paid in. A large share of this
is estimated, leaving the actual cash
raised about $4,000.
The report of the financial committee
provoked stormy discussion and several
members Of the committee were in fav-
or of throwing up the sponge then and
there. The supreme officers of the
order and the MAJOR general of the uni
formed rank were in Chicago waiting
for telegram announcing the result
of the meeting, it being known to them
that the convention work had reached
crisis,
1t has been expected that the brew
ers would contribute about $4,000 but
the committee that it will contribute a
5000 would be the MAXIMUM. The
Hotel Mems Association has informed
/ the COHllllthS0 lud1 IL COuCi1DutC q
certain percentage of the business of
| the hotels for the week but would make
no guarantee of a lump sum. By
comparison with the report Of the
treasurer of the home coming it has
been found that subscriptions have
been generally from % to 80 per cent
of what was contributed at that time
The total amount subscribed by cigar
dealers, restaurants, saloons, cafes and
small theatres was something over 800
These are among those most benefited
by large gathering. The large man
ufacturing concerns have contributed
varying sums but in most cases the
i subscriptions were made reluctantly.

General Advance in Wages
of Railway Workers Made
By Many Companies
ADVANCE A VOLUNTARY ONE

1t is estimated that the general adj
vance now in progress in the wages Of
railroad. employees will amount to
$50, 100000. On account of the vari-
Gus forms in which the announcements
of increases have been made, it is i'm
possible to arrive at any definite figure,
but the above may be taken as mod
crate estimate.
The new schedules offered by the
New York Central, the New York, New
Haven & Hartford, the Boston & AL
bany and the Pennsylvania involve an
aggregate increase of nearly $2o,0Oo,-
600 annually, and these are only four
of the railroads upon which advances
have been announced.
Most of the advances granted since
the first Of the year have been percent
age increases. Some, however, are in
the form of so many cents an hour and
still others in the form of so many dol
lars a mouth. Two of the roads have
simply announced the annual total
which the advances granted would cost
their treasures, without giving de-
tails.
The number of men benefited by
these advances has ranged from few
hundred, in the case of some com
panies, to as many as 100000 in the
case of the company with the largest
pay roll. The number Of employees
who have received wage increases
since the first of the year will not fall
far short of half million.
The principal advances so far an
nounced have been made by the fol
lowing roads:
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Baltimore & Ohio, Western Maryland
Lehigh Valley, Chicago, Indiana &
Louisville, Chicago & Northwestern,
Pennsylvania, New York, New Haven
! & Hartford, Philadelphia & Reading.
Norfolk & Western, New York Central
and Allied Lines, Boston & Albany
Erie, Atlantic Coast Line, Boston, Re
we're Beach & Lynn.
This general advance in the wages
OF railroad men is the second in a
period of four years. The last previ
Gus raise came in 1906 1907. Soon
after, in the fall of 1907, came the
panic, but the railroads, despite the
falling off in business, did not reduce
the wages then. Thus the present in
crease comes on the top of the one
four years ago.
TO Illustrate: an employee earning
! $3.50 a month in 1906, on a road
where a 10 per cent advance wa:
granted, received $15 more under the
higher scale. 4 I per cent advance
this year carried his pay to $l76.55 {;
month. This represents a net increase
of III per cent over what he re
ceived in 1906.

ed Advisory Archon Ryan and Archon
Schmutz. 1t was long after midnight
when the special car bearing the Keno

union gathering proved such a great
success that it is probable that arrange
ments will be made to hold similar
MEETINGS both in Milwaukee and Keno
sho.

ASKS $4,000 FROM PROPHET
Charges Command From Lord Through
Prophet Compelled Wife to Desert

Charges Command From Lord Through
Prophet Compelled Wife to Desert
David Warren Of Zion City has be-
gun a suit for $4,000 for alienation
of his wife IS affections, against Jap
bet Amstutz, formerly prominent
leader in Zion City, who at one time
declared he was a prophet sent by the
Lord.
The case is the most unusual of the
many that have come out of Zion for
the claim of the husband, through his
attorney, E. Y. Orvis, is that his wife
and he were happy until Amstutz struck
town and started his religious teach
ings. He says that he (Warren) did
not agree with his teachings and plain
ly said so and that, in retaliation for
his stand, the prophet induced Mrs.
Warren to leave her husband on the
claim that he was a bad man and the
Lord had told him in vision that Mrs.
Warren must leave her husband. War
rem had openly declared Amstutz to
be a false prophet and he claims that
it was entirely because of his state
ments that the prophet interfered with
his family and induced his wife to
leage him. Amstutz was at one time
wealthy and highly regarded in Zion.
Amstutz is the man who abaut a
year ago, was in Jail in Waukegan be-
cause of a charge of having beaten a
woman in Zion.

Firemen Fight for Two Hours Against
Fire which Does $1O0 Damage.

The fire department was called out
just before midnight Friday night as
result Of fire in the bark mill and
Ieeches of the n. r. Allen s Sons tan
merry. The fire started in one of the
bark carriers and the origin of it is a
mystery, but it is thought that spark
may have fallen in the broken bark and
caused the fire. The fire spread from
the bark mill to the leech room and
several of the watts were damaged. The
fremen worked for more than two
hours in the great storm before the
fire was under control At the offices
of the plant this morning it was stated
that the loss from the fire would not
exceed. 800.

The expense Of providing prizes to
be given to the children in the public
and parochial schools of the city for
essays on consumption is money well
spent and it is doubtful if the com
mittee could procure as good results as
are bound to follow this competition
for the expenditure of similar amount
of its funds in any other line. The
children are great missionary workers
in this movement and through the
children it is possible to reach class
of the population that could not be
gotten at in any other way.
