the navy and the different troops along
the western coast is urged upon the
officers so that they will study the
various propositions that might come
up.
The government and the state mill
tary authorities want the officers and
men to know what to do in case of
any contingency which might arise at
any time regarding the action of the
United States in diplomatic way and
also what would be done with the
army and navy and the National guard
in case of war and how the men
would be handled in mobilization for
war PURPOSES.

WINDOWS SHATTERED.
Fifty Miles Gale Does Much Damage
in New York.

New York, March ga north
westerly gale that blew away all
touches of spring that have been lin
gering in the air and at times reached
a velocity of so miles an hour played
curious pranks in this city during the
night and early today. Plate glass
windows were shattered, vessels in the
harbor strained at their anchors and
river craft had difficulty in navigating.
Over at the docks in South Brooklyn
the lighter Elizabeth Washburn,
loaded with 700 hogshead of oil, was
torn loose, turned over and sank. The
two men on board jumped overheard
and swan ashore.
Newport, r. l., March ga heavy
northwesterly gale drove the torpedo
boat destroyer Burroughs from her
berth in the Inner bay and landed the
craft on the mud flats at the foot of
Cherry street early today. The Bur-
roughs was resting easy on an even
keel and this morning was considered
safe, although very near rock ledge.

KEROSENE CAUSED DEATH
OF MOTHER and four
Fatal Accident Caused BY
Negligence

Mitchell, Ill, Sept. 28s--Mrs. Virgil
Vandever, "a years old, and four ot
her children were burned to death
early today when can of kersosene
used by Mrs. Vandever in starting the
flitchen fire exploded The children
were Gertrude, 13 years old; Bessie
10, Earl, 6, and Wanda 3.
Virgil Vandever was burned on the
face and hands, and Theirl Vandever,
II years old, suffered burns of the ia e
and legs. The husband and Arthur
Langford, Mrs. Vandevers 18-year-old
son by former marriage, saved them
selves by jumping from a second story
window after their efforts to rescue
other members of the family were
futile.
Mrs. Vandever's last act was to
snatch up her 7-year-old boy, Theirl
and drop him to safety from the win
dow. The onlookers saw the woman
throw up her hands and sink back
ward into the flames.

PROPOSALS ARE
AGAIN BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE
REPORT RULED OUT OF ORDER
Committee viii Bring New
Report At a Later Date.

Though the matter of the proposals
made by the Americus Railway and
Light Company concerning the ques-
ton of pumping the city's water and
that of making a contract for the city's
lighting were submitted to council ut
its last meeting, no adjustment of
these questions has yet been COM
pleted.
About a month ago the proposals
made by the railway and light COM
pany were submitted to the committee
on water and sewerage, with instruc-
tons for this committee to make a
report later to council on the matter
The report on Monday night was the
first made by the committee, and this
report was ruled out of order upon
the objection made by Alderman Al
len, who claimed that the committee
had never held a meeting to consider
the making of a report. On notion
the matter was again referred to the
committee on water and sewerage for
a further report
There were two proposals made by
the railway and light company, upon
which the committee reported. One
was that the company be allowed the
privilege of installing at the pump
ing station pumps run by electricity
and costing $500, so that this SER
vice might be maintained by the COM
pany for the city. The other propo-
sition was that the city itself install
the pumps mentioned, giving the COM
pany the privilege of furnishing the
electric power for this service.
In either case the water would be
pumped at the cost of three and a
half cents per 1000 gallons.
AS the matter now stands, the
posals are still before the committee,
which must make another report at a
subsequent meeting of council The
matter of the price at which the SER
vice mentioned is to be furnished to
the city, it is alleged, is cheaper than
the city can do it itself.
Further reports by this committee
will be awaited with interest, as the
matters involved with reference to the
improvements at the waterworks, con-
templated in the recent bond issue,
are closely connected with and must
depend upon the decision reached m
the case of the contract for water
pumping.
1t is understood that the committee
will report again at the next meeting
of council, which will occur Monday
night week.

NJUNCTIONS USED
TO PRESERVE ORDER
In Strike On Illinois Central
System

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 27.-The
most important of today's develop
ments in the strike of clerks through
out the southern division of the Hi
nois Central Railroad system and Of
the shopmen at Memphis and New Or
leans, We're the walking out of 400
men in the mechanical department at
New Orleans, and the issuance of a
temporary restraining order by Judge
Mccall, Of the United States District
CoArt at Memphis enjoining the strik
ers and sympathizers from. congrega-
ting about railroad property, main
tanning pickets and interfering with
the men at work.
In the petition filed by attorneys for
the railroad it is asserted that in-
terstate commerce is being retarded;
that during last night four men en-
ployed in the local offices were beat
en-, and that a messenger boy carry
ing orders to an engineer to report for
duty was bound and held captive for
thre hours.
Again the petition alleges the move
ment of passenger trains was delayed
last night by the congregating of sew
eral hundred persons on the tracks!
that automobiles summoned to re-
move those at work to their homes
were prevented from approaching the
freight sheds, and that with it all, city
and county officials remained passive,
declining to afford protection asked.
Judge Mccall will decide whether the
injunction will be made perpetual on
Oct. 2.
AS to a general strike labor leaders
here make no effort to conceal the
fact that it is expected, bu declare
that so far they are without definite
With the restraining order in force
quiet prevailed about the railroad
yards and sheds tonight.
Railroad officials assert that locally
conditions will improve tomorrow;
that if the accumulated freight is dis
posed of warehouses will be reopened
and shipments accepted to all points.

STRIKE MAY TIE
UP HARRIMAN'S
RAILWAY LINES
$4,000 LABORERS INVOLVED
Strike May Be Called Definite
Iy Next Monday

Chicago, Sept 2S.--A strike on Ill
the Hartman lines, including the Illi-
nois Central, will be called as soon Us
the presidents of the international
Shopmen's unions involved can fix
upon the day and hour, according 20
J. w. Kline, president of the Black
smiths and Helpers union today.
A strike is inevitable now" said
Kline "Kruttschnitt replied unfavor-
ably to our final request for a confer
ence and after talk this morning
with other union presidents, We have
decided that the strike must be called.
Some favor next Monday as the
proper time to begin the actual strug-
gle; others want to begin Saturday.
AS soon as We decide that question
the word to strike will be sent to all
unions"
The strike order is said to be al
ready in the hands of the local union
heads and all that will be needed is
the flash making it effective. Thirty
five thousand men, including machin-
sits, boilermakers, can repairers and
manufacturers, sheet metal workers
and blacksmiths will be affected"
This is a day of grace in the
threatened strikers of $4,000 mechani-
cal employees of the Hartman rail-
roads, including the Illinois Central
road, several hundred of whose clerks
are already on strike. 1t has been in
tended to call the men out at noon
today unless a conciliatory reply 20
the latest demands We're received from
Vice President Julius Kruttschnitt
who is in New York city, but the time
for final action was put off till to-
morrow following a conference last
night of officers of the international
unions concerned. The ultimatum sent
to Mr. Kruttschnitt yesterday was
not made public and no reply was re-
ceived from him yesterday or last
night. The demand in substance IS
that the Hartman lines recognize the
federation of various unions of rail-
road employees in the same way that

CowbeIIs ROut BIackbirds.

Warrenburg, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-Jimmy
Kirk of South Warrenburg, has found
q wav via cowbells to scare away the
noisy blackbirds which have been
shattering early morning sleep.
Jimmy has borrowed all the cowbells
he could get hold of and hung them in
the trees with stout strings attached,
leading to his bedroom window. He
also enlisted the assistance of other
bows, and when the birds begin their
chatter in the early morning con-
cert of cowbells ring out and the
blackbirds are frightened away.
