ernment an ultimatum the details of
which have not been made public
but amounting in general tenor to
demand that the sultan dismiss his
advisors of the military league, re-
placing them with group accepta-
bic to the committee of union and

TRUCE DECLARED

Chicago, Aug. 10-A truce until
next Friday was agreed on by both
sides today in the wage controversy
between the union employees of the
surface and elevated lines and the
managers Of the companies. L. A.
Busby, president Of the City Railway
Company, emphatically declared that
there would be no strike.
w. D. Mahon, international presi-
dent of the union, this afternoon will
report to mass-meeting Of the work
ers that one of the most objectionable
feature of the present contract would
be eliminated in framing the new ag-
reement-the probation period of six
months, when the men who are learn
ing to be motormen, conductors and
guards receive little pay for their
time.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor today
wired Mahon that he would not at
tend the mass-meeting.
During the truce it is understood
that the presidents of the three op-
eratin companies will receive from the
controlling stockholders in the east,
instructions as just what concessions
will be acceptable to them.

DETROIT SCANDAL

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 10-That the
confession of one of the arrested city
officials e. R. Schreiter, council clerk,
caused the arrest of seventeen alder
men charged with conspiracy to accept
bribes from the Wabash Railroad was
not denied by the prosecutors office
today. Eight of the seventeen were
were among the ten officials, includ-
ing Schreiter, who was arrested two
weeks ago, charged with accepting
bribes"
1t is believed that it is only through
such a confession that the arrests
could have been made. Schrciter has
been connected with the city hall for
upwards of fiften years and it is
aldermen arrested in more than one
deal.
Prosecutor Shepherd today refused
to admit that Schreiter had confessed
but the fact that no warrant was Is
sued for him in second charge leads
many to believe that if the council
clerk is convicted the prosecutor will
appeal to the courts in his behalf.

BECkER'S
BANK DEPOSITS
"Gyp the Blood" and Lefty
Louie" Are Still in Hid
ing in City.
EXPECTS CONFESSION
Man Said to Have Deposited
$4,000 in Different Savings lnsti-
tutiOns.

New York, Aug. 1O.-The per-
sonal bank accounts of police lieu
tenant Charles Becker, held for the
murder of gombler Herman Rosen-
thai, were being investigated by
District Attorney Whitman today.
The prosecutor was also looking in
to reports that have come to him
to the effect that "Gyp the blood"
and "Lefty Louie" the two gun men
still missing, have been hidden by a
man connected with a high police
official. 1t now seems certain that
these two actually fired the shots
that killed the gambler, according
to the evidence in Whitman's po-
session. Whitman caused it to be
announced that he will bring pres
sure to bear on the two men he be-
leves concerned in keeping them
where they cannot be arrested. With
the pair under arrest Whitman be-
lieves he could get several confes-
sions he needs to complete his case
against Becker.
Whitman says that he has already
found seven savings banks in which
Becker deposited their limit-S3, 900
fund and he hass representative
examining bank officials IN all of the
suburban cities in an attempt to
locate other accounts Of similar
nature.
There being no grand jury ses-
sion all of the district attorneys
force was put at work on this angle
and also in rounding up the case so
that it can be moved for trial at the
earliest possible moment.
Meanwhile the committee IN
charge of the "town meeting to be
held at Cooper Union next week to
demand action in abolishing graft
in the city administration was COM
pleting it's arrangements. 1t was
conceded that strong resolutions ar
raging the mayor and other officials
would be adopted and demand for
mulated for a legislative investiga-
ton of city affairs.

CRAYONs AWAIT BUYERS.
Pictures of Former Alexandrians
Displayed on Fairfax Street.

During the past two weeks many
crayons on the sidewalk in front of
the Braddock House has attracted
the attention of many passersby
who have stopped and scrutinized
them, as, they are Alexandrians
some of whom have joined the great
majority. The crayons were pur-
chased at clearing out sale Of mer-
chants who have recently removed
their goods to another building, and
consist of pictures thrown upon the
hands of an artist by persons order
ing them but failing to call for the
same.
Occasionally pedestrians have
recognized faces of relatives and
have purchased the pictures. 9th
ers, however, attract no interest
and form part of the daily display.
One of the crayons-that of Fields
Cook-brings to mind memories Of
by-gone days, when carpetbaggers,
adventurers and negroes mingled in
political gatherings. Cook came to
Alexandria over forty years ago,
and one of his first appearances in
public gatherings was when he de-
livered an invocation or pronounced
the benediction at the Decoration
Day ceremonies of 1871 in the Ma
tional Cemetery. He subsequently
became pastor of a colored church
in this city retaining the same upto
the time of his death.
While cotemporaneous with Fred
Douglass, Langston and other neg
roes who were prominent in recon-
struction days, Cook lacked their
genius, but he was far above the
average darkey of this day.
Reared with white people, he was,
in a sense, the reflex of the white
Southern man, having been an at
tentive listener and an apt scholar
when politics, history or theology
were discussed in his presence.
His immediate family have long
since deceased, and his picture
seems to attract no interest among
the present generation Of negroes.
Cook had brother, James Cook,
who lived in Richmond. While
Fields attained local prominence in
politics and church gatherings, Jim
enjoyed a much greater notoriety
from his formula in preparing mint
tulips. He had the reputation OF
being the best manipulation of mixed
drinks in the southern country, and
in the olden time, when planters
visited the Virginia capital, a pleas
ant feature of the trip was to in
dulge in mint julips prepared by
Jim Cook.
