Missing Farmer

The police of this city have been asked
to assist Union county authorities in un-
tangling the strange Disappearance of
Joseph Felillo, huckster, whose horse
and wagon were found several miles
out of Elizabeth smeared with blood.
The man left his home in Perth Amboy
last Tuesday and since then no trace
of him has been found.
On the road leading TO Elizabeth tho
horse and wagon were found by a
farmer The shafts and the hind por-
tion of the horse were covered with
blood. The man It Is known had con-
siderable money on his person. When
Felillo left Amboy he was coming TO
this city to purchase a new horse. He
had told his intention to several coun-
trymen.
The police Of Elizabeth have secured
the section and questioned many per-
sons, but none have been able to throw
any light on the mystery. The county
authorities have taken up the case and
are conducting a searching investigation.

P. r. r. FACES
BIG STRIKE

general strike may be declared to-
day among the Pennsylvania railroad en-
ployees, following the statement by the
officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Trainmen that the attitude of the gen
eral manager of the company is obJec-
tionabe Another meeting of the train
men was held today at the Hotel Wind
sor. Philadelphia, to decide what action
would be taken. 1t was intimated that
the conference may result in a strike
order.
The placing of electric trains on the
branches of the Pennsylvania Is respon'
sible for the present crisis. The Newark
and New York short line was put into
practise, and the regular railroad men
declare they were not properly consid-
cred In the manning Of the electric
trains.
The placing of the trainmen on the
electrified lines was Ole Of the most i'm
portant of eight questions put to Gen
eral Manager Long, of the Pennsylvania.
This and five other questions, the train
men declare, were answered unsatisfac-
torily. Mr.. Long has taken the stand
tion of its roads to other companies II
cannot dictate TO the lessees as to whom
1t shall employ.
At the offices of General Manager Long
today 1t was stated that there was moth
ing further to come from him. He said
that he had made his position clear and
that any further action would come from
the trainmen. The conference Of the
Brotherhood of Trainmen at Philadel-
phia is expected to terminate in n day or
so, and at that time the decision of the
tralnmen will probably be given to the
company.
PHILADELPHIA June 7-Judge Bregy,
in Common Pleas Court here today, is
sued an Injunction restraining federated
committees of the brothcrhoods of train
men, conductors fremen and engineers
from taking any action that may lead to
a strike on the lines of the Pennsylvania
railroad east of Pittsburgh and Erie be
cause of alleged grievances.
The injunction was issued on petition
of John S. Hemphil. an engineer, whose
home is in West Philadelphia. In his
petition he claims that the Brotherhood
of Engineers and Fremen, OF which he
is a member. has no legal right to par
ticipate in. the conferences of the broth
erhoods which are now going on In this
city.
The refusal of S. c. Long. general
manager OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, to grant the request regard
ing electric trains is not satisfactory to
the committee and the matter under
discussion today by the committee is
said to be whether the question should
be referred to the members of the
brotherhoods for a vote e, to the adyis-
ability Of calling a strike.

quake shocks recorded by the seismo-
graph at st. Ignacius College today prob
ably originated at not far distant point,
possibly In Indiana or Michigan, accord
ing to the estimate of Father Odenbaeh,
the curator. The first shock lasted from

sence of the usual phasis, Father oden-

Strong influence was brought to bear
use the power of his office in ending the
strike of laborers and digsers IN this
city. The trouble already has cost the
life OF schoolboy, three other persons
probably are fatally injured and there
has been no end of trouble and rioting.
The mayor was visited by Italian Con

Il. Bianchi and Rev. Bismarck j. Col

Church. The three men objected 10

lice were justified in shooting, aud pro-
tested against the use of reyolvers by the
police In the strike riots 1t was pointed
out to him that the woman who Is ex-
pected to die at the City Hospital from
shot wounds inflicted during riot was
shot in the back. Several other victims,
they asserted, also had bullet wounds In
the back, proving, they said, that the
victims were running away from the po-
lie when shot.
Mayor Promises to DO His Best.
Alderman Bianchi declared that Su-
perlntendent Talbot, of the City HOS
pltal. and various physicians had ex-
amined the victims and made the same
statement that they must have been
shot while running from the police, and
therefore unnecessarily.
Mayor Haussling declared that further
instructions would be issued to Chief
of Police Corbitt. warning the police not
to use their revolvers unless in defense
of their lives Particular stress will be
laid on the fact that the police are
not to shoot when merely jostled by
the crowds.
The three men also pointed out as an
important fact that not one of the strik-
ers who had been arrested had peen
found carrying a revolver or other
weapon. The mayor reiterated his
promise ", do what he could to prevent
further fatalities and expressed ~~fis re-
gret that the trouble could not be set
tied amlcably.
Says Strikers Seek Arbitration.
At this point Alderman Bianchi en-
phasized his belief that the strikers at
all times have been willing 10 submit
their difficulties to arbitration.
"The strikers today stand ready to
obey the command of the committee
which will arbitrate for them" said the
alderman. Even If the decision is that
they return to work for ten cents a day
They are more anxious than any other
party to settle the strike without vio-

How the fire started is mystery. The
men were all at their benches. when
there was n sharp report. In less than
ten minutes the entire building was
ablaze. Men rushed to the windows and
measured the distance to the ground be-

Z They did not wait long but jumped.
Only few were injured, which is short
of miraculous. Luckily the office force
was near an exit and easily reached the
street.
The building is series of two-story
brick buildings. The wind famed the
flames and kept the firemen busy try

believed. explosives are stored.

OF the buildings quantity of celluloid.
