TORONTO, ONT. July 2S.--The
statement of the Grand Trunk officials
that the striking employees had asked
to be taken back in body and that
this request had been refused. is de-
MED to-day by the strike leaders who
declare no offer OF settlement was

atiest was made at conference be-
tween Msssrs Lee and Garretson, for
the men. and President Hayes. and
Vice President Fitzhugh. for the com
pany.
Refused Pensions.
The officials say the men also re-
aeested that they be allowed TO retain
their rights to pensions. which they
forfeited by striking. and asked arbi-
trstion on the time for increasing
wages
In declining to accept these alleged
propositions, Hayes declares he said:
You must apply for your Jobs as new
men. We hired a number Of men In
gooth faith, and cannot discharge
them 10 make way for those who
struck. The men who went out will
lose their pensions, but those who ap-
ply for positions will be taken back
as fast as we have room for them,
This applies TO all except those who
have committed deeds OF violence.

An Early Wall Paper.

On repapering room in brad-
bourne Hall, Derbyshire, in 1892, /
found, partly covered by an old oak
cupboard, considerable remains of
quite early eighteenth century wall
paper, of pale green tint, with flow
ing pattern in darker color on it.
This paper was made in squares of
about twenty inches, and l was able
to rescue two or more complete
pieces. 1t had been printed on rather
thick paper from wood cut blocks,
and each square was nailed up with
coarse iron tacks about one and
half inches apart, each tack being
run through squares or washers of
brown leather, so that both tack
heads and washers showed all around
each square of paper. 1t is possible
that this wall paper was of late sew
enteenth century date.
Bradbourne Hall, in the lower
Peak. is a picturedue house, almost
unaltered, of the time of James l.,

canonical house of the Augustus Of

Convicted of the Murder of Col

Kansas City (Special)-Dr. B. c.
Hyde. convicted of having poisoned
Col. Thomas H. Swope, the million
aire philanthropist, was sentenced to
life Imprisonment at hard labor by
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw, in the
Criminal Court here.
An appeal to the State Supreme
Court was filed bv Hyde's attorney,
and until it is taken up by the high
er court the prisoner will remain in
the county Jail here.
The case was called by Judge Lat
shaw as soon as court was opened.
The Doctor and his wife, who had
stood by him so faithfully. sat side
by side and held each others hands.
Ludge Latshaw promptly overruled
the motion for arrest of judgment
and commanded DR.. Hyde to stand
up. Before passing sentence he ask
ed the prisoner If he had anything to
say.
DR.. Hyde, smiling and calm, re-
piled:
81 did not understand you, Judge"
Have you anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon
you?" repeated the Judge.
MY attorneys will talk for me-"
said DR.. Hyde quietly.
At this point Attorney Lucas, for
the defense, arose and told the court
he had nothing to say. Then. as DR..
Hyde remained standing, Judge Lat
shaw continued:
''The judgment of the court, DR..
Hyde, is that you be confined in the

Americans are sale to be in favor of
Latin-American alliance against
the United States. 1t is generally
conceded. however, that formal ac-
ton of this nature is unlikely.
The most that can be regarded as
probable is that the republics inter-
ested will give the United States to
understand automatically that the
principles represented in the attitude
of this government on the east coast
of Nicaragua will not be accepted
Willingly as a part of the information
al law of the Americas.
1t is hardly likely that this pro-
test, if made. will become a part of
the proceedings of the conference
II will probably be left to the unof-
flclal work of the assembly.
Notwithstanding recent state
ment by the Venezuelan government
on the subject, it is still reported
here that the Venezuelan delegates
will be the leaders in protesting
against the attitude of the United
States and that at least two other
governments will share the RESPONSE
bility of the movement.
Doubt exists in Washington as to
just what steps of the American gov
eminent have been distasteful to the
sister republics. The only concrete
point mentioned in this connection
was first phrased by Madriz, presi-
dent Of the government at Managua.
when he protested against the action
OF American marines in preventing
an attack by the Madriz forces upon
the city OF Bluefelds. This was
done on the ground that American
interests are extensive there and
! followed the precedent of the British
government in prohibiting fighting
in Greytown on similar grounds.
Later the Venus was prohibited by
the American officials from firing on
Bluefields.
