TOMORROW DAY APPOINTED
Union Heads and Railroad Officials
say the Movement Is Without
Authority.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Shop employees Of
the Illinois Central railroad were or
dered to strike at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning in bulletins posted yesterday
in the shops at Paducah, KY, and
other points along the system.
The posting of the strike bulletins
caused surprise to Chicago officials of
the railroad and the international
unions, who said it was authorized and
that evidently someone was trying to
create trouble and intensity the strain
ed relations between the company and
the employees.
3PCREARY Is INDIGNANT.
J. F. McCreary. chairman of the fed
Grafton of shop employees on the Illi-
nois system, was indignant when in
formed of the posting of the strike
bulletins at Paducah.
Il cannot believe that any such bull
letin has been posted said McCreary.
because no one is authorized to take
such a step. We are waiting TO hear
from President Markham, and it would
be worse than foolish TO order strike
meanwhile | think the report is due
10 a mistake.
w. L. Park, vice president of the
Illinois Central, was equally puzzled
over the dispatches that the strike or
der had been posted. He said that
he had not been advised that such a
step was contemplated by the en-
ployes.
"The committee has been promised
a definite answer from President
Markham said Mr. Park, and that
answer will be sent them in due time
before Tuesday. / cannot believe that
they would order strike at this point
in the negotiations. Some one in Pa
ducah has been talking without au-
thority but you can take it from me
that there viii not be a strike on
Tuesday Omrning."

The gray haired father of the ac-

MEXICANS KILLED
IN ELECTION RIOTS

Mexico City, Sept 4.-Five dead
and 16 wounded mark the close of
d day of rioting in the streets of
the capital such as has not been wit
messed since the last few days of
the Diaz regime. 1t is apparent that
between this and election day there
will be more bloodshed and perhaps
revolution. That the situation is ser
ious and a clash that may take the
proportions of a battle between Ma

improbable.

Convicted Sergeant at
Arms Has Not Yet Won
Immunity.
NO NAMES REVEALED
A Trail of Buried Graft Which
Leads to Many
Places.

Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 4.-"Rod-
ney j. Diegle has broken his silence"
says today's Plain Dealer in a long
story relating that Diegle has made
confession of bribery and corrup-
tion in the Ohio Legislature to Ben
F. Allen, that papers Washington
correspondent and its former Colum-
bus correspondent, a friend of Die
gle for years.
According to the Plaindealer's
story, Diegle has been a voluntary
prisoner with Allen and a represen-
tative of the state for the past five
days, during which time at Sandus-
ky, Cleveland, Detroit and Mount
Clemens and enroute between these
places he was giving the details of
his alleged confession.
NO NAMES YET.
The plaindealer's recital mentions
no names, the confession being re-
served for the Franklin county
grand jury at Columbus.
Continuing the story says, in
part: THE convicted sergeant-at-
arms of the Ohio senate has told his
story of many sickening details, Of
the trail of buried graft which leads
to the doors of many members of
the Ohio general assembly. It is a
story extending from the Offices and
places Of business of successful law
yers, manufacturers and merchants
to the low dives and brothels Of Col
umbus.
NOT TOLD ALL.
''The confession, which was laid
before the state of1ciais yesterday,
has not satisfied the prosecutors of
the bribery investigation. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Turner and Attorney
General Hogan insist that Dieglc
knows more than he has revealed.
Diegle told the story in the hope of
securing immunity. Immunity will
not be granted on the story so far
recounted. There is available ~
use Of the prosecution inside inti->
mate details how certain lobbyists
and a coterie of members OF both
branches of Sthe assembly determine
the course to be followed on import
ant legislative matters during wild
debauches, most of which ended in
houses of i'll repute in Columbus or
at road houses"
