STRIKE WILL! CD
ON To A FINISH.
Joint Conference Proves "a Fizzle---
Big Employers Not
Present.
UNION IS SHORT OF FUNDS.
On Account of Recent Miners Strike,
Members Unable to Contribute 10
Men Now Out.

London, May 31.-Unless the gov
ernment can plan legislation accept
able to both sides the general strike
of transport workers will go on to a
finish. The conference arranged
by the Board of Trade at which it
had been hoped settlement could be
reached proved fizzle today. None
of the big employers attended, al
though they had agreed to do so.
Leaders of the Transport Workers
Union who were on hand held brief
consultation with Sidney Buxton of
the Board of Trade after which all
hands proceeded to the home Office
where the premier, Lloyd George and
members of the cabinet discussed the
situation behind closed doors.
Th" employers assertion at meet
ing held last night agreed to force
the fight to a finish. They declared
the union was short of funds and be-
cause of the tie-up occasioned by the
recent coal strike the majority of the
labor unions of the country were op-
posed to strikes at the present time
and would refuse to contribute to
defence fund. Believing this the Of
ficials of the employers association
insist that now is the time to break
the transport workers union for all
time.
The announcement of their attitude
has caused bitter feeling against the
employers by the union men who have
heretofore strenuously opposed all
disorder and kept their members in
line and it is feared rioting will re-
suit if the employers continue to keep
strike-breakers at work.
The police guards at the various
docks were increased today in antici-
patton of trouble.
The government, as means OF end
ing the strike, suggested the creation
of joint conciliation board of the
port of London. Delegate Gosling
promised that the union council would
consider the suggestion and inform
the cabinet on Tuesday whether it
would accept. Meanwhile the strike
vii! continue in force.

BARBARITTES IN MEXICO

Judging from what is said to have
occurred in the land of the Montezum-
as during the past few days that pol-
tion of the contonent is less civili-
zed than in the days of Cortez.
Stories Of brutalities practiced by
the Zapatist instructors in the state
of Morlous, which include the burning
OF men and women at the stake and
the hurting of babies into blazing bon
fires, were brought to Mexico City yes.
terday by survivors of the massacre OF
Tres Marias. This town was sack
ed and burned by 1000 rebels unde,
Zapata because 200 federal soldiers
had resisted the brigand horde.
After the battle the victorious reb-
els marched into Tres Marias seizing
all the men and women, binding their
hands with barbed wire. After coun
Gil of the bandit chiefs, some of the
younger women were liberated and
compelled to follow the rebel band
The others were lined up and great
bonfires were lighted. Bodies Of the
dead federal soldiers were piled upon
the faggots and the torch applied.
Other soldiers were put to work
tearing down the frame buildings OF
the town. Another great bonfire was
built and detachment of soldier:
seized the bound town folk and cast
their bodies into the embers. Shrieks
of the women mingled with the ter
rified groans and curses Of the mer
But the most hideous scenes were tc
come. The hardened ruffians selzet
little children and threw their bodle!
into the blaze.
The cruel tortures reached the SUI
prcmacv of their barbarities wher
they hurled helpless infants into the
flames before their parents eyes. Bu
one child, a boy of seven years, who
had hidden himself in the brush, es
capped the massacre.
All the frame buildings of the towr

THE LATE WILBUR WRIGHT.
Tributes from London and Paris
Newspapers.

London, May 31.-With Wilbur
Wright dead, the airmen who fought
his claims most bitterly are today
leading the world in honoring him.
Claude Graham White, foremost of
British aviators, after warmly eulo-
gizing the dead aviator, and acknow-
lodging the great debt the world owes
to him, announced that his memory
will be honored in England.
White today engaged the Hendon
Aerodrome and began arrangements
for a monster aerial meeting to raise
funds to erect here a suitable monu-
ment to the dead Dayton pioneer He
stated that not less than 200 await
ors, including the best in the world,
will participate and that the entire
proceeds will be expended on sta
tue of Wilbur Wright, to be executed
by the best sculptor in all Britain.
Paris, May 31.-With nearly every
newspaper and public man in France
giving full tribute to Wilbur Wright
and his work as the pioneer of aerial
navigation, Paris was shocked today
by i bitter editorial attack on the
dead man in LIE Matin. 1t calls
Wright a common mechanic" who
appropriated other mems ideas
without credit and attempted to hog
riches" 1t declares the Wright ma
chine was defective and has already
been forgotten, and says the only
creditable performance the dead man
ever gave was to show that he could
carry passenger in 35-horse-power
biplane.
Gaulois warmly defends Wright and
says: "Howevcr proud we may be to
count Frenchmen as among the first
aviators, we won't expose ourselves to
the contempt Of future generations
by refusing to admit that Wright
taught them ALL"

SEARCHING FOR SISTERS

William F. Koppen; Of SOC King
street, has just renewed 4 ilGs.sjt which
he hopes will result in the finding Of
his three sisters, from whom he part
cd in Harscheild, Germany, in April,
1888. He has had no word from them
since 1898.
Mr.. IIoppen went to Washington,
from his home in Germany. AT that
time his sisters, Mrs. Albert Adolphs
and the Misses Julchen and Nina kop-
pen, were living with their mother at
Harscheid. The mother died in 1892,
and about year later Mr.. Kopen re-
ceiyed letter from Mrs. Adolphs an
nouncing that she and her sisters had
located in Patterson, n. j., and were
employed in the silk mills of that
city.
A reply to this letter was sent to
Patterson, but no further news was re-
ceived from his relatives by Mr.. kop-
pen, and he endeavorcd to locate them
through communication with friends
in the old German town. These quer-
les. however, proved as fruitless as
those directed to Patterson. About
four years ago Mr. koppen went to
Patterson and spent three days in q
careful search of the town, but could
not obtain any information about his
sisters.
The only member of the immediate
family whom he has seen since leav-
in" Germany has been brother who
visited him here in 1892. This broth
er, after remaining in Washington fol
two months, returned to a sailors life
and has never communicated with Mr.
Koppen. There is yet another broth
er who is supposed to live in Germany

LOVER TO DIE WITH HER
Latter Will Go TO Electric Chair Be-
tween Midnight Monday and 1890
4. VI. Tuesday Next.

Boston, Mass, May 31.-With two
sides of her cell in the Charlcstown
prison death house hung with crepe
like sheets that she may not see the
electric chair when the door into the
death chamber is opened, Mrs. Lena
,Cusumano today began her second
day in her present quarters awaiting
the call to die for the murder of her
husband. She is the first woman
ever to occupy a cell in the Massachu-
setts house of death which is located
in far corner of the prison yard,
100 feet from any of the other build
ingS The few women who have re-
ccived capital punishment in the state
were not taken to the death cell un-
til just q few moments before they
were hanged.
Mrs. Cusumano has borne up re-
markably well. She slept from o.
clock last night until 1880 this morn
ing. It was her first night in the cell
There are three cells in the building
The one next to Mrs. Cusumano is
empty. In the one nearest the
death chamber is Harry Marshall,
Mrs. Cusumano's lover, who was SEN
tcnced to death with her. The last
occupant of Mrs. Cusumano's present
quarters was one Of three Cinnamon
who were electrocutcd seven years
ago for Tong War murders in the
Labyrinth Of streets back of Harrison
avenue.
Three woa,an guards who were
brought here fsor? othcr state insti-
tutions at the request OF Warden
Bridges 10 guard Mrs. Cusumano
night and day in cight-hour shifts
One Of these women, it was reported
today, had succurlbed to the terrible
SLIdlI, anu "Oulu !G.NC W Dc IC CplciSCu.
AS the case now stands, Mrs. Cusu-
mano will precede Marshall to the ell
ectric chair sometime after twelve o.
clock Monday night.
Gov. Foss, however, has promised
to respite the woman until his coun-
Gil can vote on the plea for commuta-
ton. The council meets Wednesday.
At the last meeting, with councillor
Alexander McGregor absent, the
council voted four to four on the leni-
ency plea. Councillor McGregOr has
openly declared that he believes in
clemency for condemned prisoners,
whether they be man or woman, only
on presentation Of irrefutable new
evidence. The vote on Marshall was
T to / against lenicncy. The vote
ended Marshall's chance to live after
the week Of June 2. Warden Bridges
said today that he will follow the US
ual procedure in the clcctrocution of
Marshall. This practically means
Marshall will die between midnight
Monday and 1890 a. m. Tuesday.

$4,000 Is Needed.

The Gazette has received to-
day the sum of $S.25, which
brings the total amount which
has been subscribed, to pay the
expenses of a little crippled
boy at the Children's Hospital,
to nearly $4,000, leaving a bal
ance of 500 necessary for the
child's maintenance there for
six months before his recovery
is complete.
1t is to be regretted that some
opposition has developed to this
most charitable object. The
fact that the child's father ran
away and left his family in a
destitute condition should not
be an excuse for any person to
refuse to assist in . movement
which the doctors say will make
the little boy whole again in
stead of a helpless cripple who
all during his life will be COM
PEELED to depend upon the char
ity of the community.
This morning a check for
$500 was received from Swan
Bros, and cash contributions of
S325 were sent in.

CARDINALS LOSE TWO GAMES

The Cardinals met defeat in both of
their games yesterday, losing the
morning game to the Seamen Gun
ners by score of 6 to 2, and the
afternoon game went to the South
lands by the score of 8 to 3.
The morning game was good game
with the exception of the seventh inn
ing, when the Cardinal infeld took a
balloon ride, allowing four men to
score. Up to this time the Cardinals
were in the lead. Seaton, for the Car
dinals, had his slants working to per-
fection, making nine Gunners bite the
dust and allowing them only four hits.
Campbell, the Gunners pitcher, had six
strike-outs and allowed six hits and
was given errcrless support.
The second game was played at 3
D. m., with the Southland team of the
independence League and was an
interesting game from start to finish,
fast fielding, heavy hitting and bat
ting rally in the eighth inning being
a few of the features.
Jones for the Southlands, and Wells
for the Cardinals, pitched good bail,
Wells having the best of it on strike
outs, tanning eight men and allowing
eight hits. but having bad support
in the outfeld was handicapped, while
Jones was given the best OF support
by the in and out field, and allowed
five hits, striking out nine men.
In the first five innings the play was
fast, the score being 8 to 0; after that
the outfielders took an airship trip.
The eighth inning, with the score
standing to 0, the Cardinals made
things look rosy by scoring three
runs before any one was out; then
followed two punk decisions on the
bases. Again in the ninth fast dou-
BILE play by the Southlands prevented
another brace.
