PURSE COLLECTED
TO BURY SUICIDE
Peter Gills to Be Given Prop
er Burial by Fellow
Workers Kindness.

A collection, amounting to about
$50, was taken up at the Hoosier Drill
works yesterday, for the purpose of
defraying the funeral expenses of
Peter l.. Gill, who was employed at
the plant, and who committed suicide
Sunday afternoon in Glen Miller park.

FOREIGNERS ALARMED.

HAVANA, May 25.-Foreigners all
over the island are panic stricken and
all who can do SO are seeking refuge
in the cities. Big country residences
on sugar plantations are being turn
ed into blockhouses and loyal planta-
tion hands are being armed. There
are many rHmors current of Ameri-
cans and Englishmen being killed IN
the outlying sections, but the censor
ship is so severe and the wires so
badly interrupted that it was impos-
sible to confirm these today.
Large numbers of Haytien and
Dominican negroes are reported to
have joined the Cuban blacks during
the last SO hours. Large quantities OF
arms have been shipped from Hayti.
The rebels are leaving scenes of
devastation in their wake as they pass
back and forth in their raids. They pill
lage, burn and kill. All the uncut sugar
cane in Santa Clara and Oriente has
been burned.
The labor situation increased the
governments troubles. Stevedores in
Oriente province are on strike and re-
fuse to yield. President Gomez was
defied when he ordered the firemen's
union to call off its strike in this city.

IS VERY
LUCKY IN TRAGEDY
Accident to Auto Truck Will
Cost This City Only a
Very Small Sum.

Richmond will only have to pay the
freight to have the damaged auto
truck repaired. 1t will be placed in a
box car tomorrow, and sent back to
the factory of the Robinson Fire Ap-
paratus Manufacturing company at
st. Louis, where it will undergo re-
pairs at the expense of the company.
The company disclaims all legal re-
sponsibility for the damages to the
truck, but says that the good will of
the city of Richmond is desired, 50
the truck will be repaired free of
charge. This adjustment of the repair
question is very satisfactory to the
city officials. The truck will be ready
for active service by the last of June.
August Fielder, the driver, has not
received instructions as to what he
shall do, but it is probable he will go
back to st. Louis with the machine,
and bring it back to this city, where
he will stay with the machine for
some time to teach the firemen the
mechanism of the big fire fighter.
City officers believe the city has es-
capped from this accident very luckily.
No damage suits are to be brought,
the truck is to be repaired without
cost and all the injured men are re-
covering nicely. Forbes is steadily re-
gaining health and strength at his
home, fireman Brusher is able to be
about his work, and Chief Miller, al
though slightly stiff and sore from his
numerous bruises, is again on active
duty.

WEARING GUM SHOES.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Arriving on a
Pennsylvania train and leaving it at
suburban station. where he entered a
waiting automobile and was whisked
away Vice President Sherman reached
Chicago today on a mission, rumored
to be an effort to secure the resigna-
tion of William Lorimer. At the sena-
tors home telephone inquiry brought
the response that the senator had no
engagement with Sherman and knew
nothing of his coming. The person who
answered the telephone refused to
identify himself. but denied emphati-
cally that Lorimer was i'll, or had been
for several weeks, although efforts
have been made in Washington for
several weeks to delay a vote ON his
election on the grounds that he was
sick
According to the reports current to-
day Sherman's visit is made on behalf
of the administration. 1t was said that
Sherman was intrusted with the deli
cate task of pointing out to Lorimer
that vote on his election could not
be delayed much longer, and pointing
out to him that the best way for him
to save himself embarrassment and
avoid a further break in the party or
ganization would be to step down
while he had the Endorsement of the
majority report of the committee on
elections and privileges in the senate
No reservation has been made for
the vice president in any of the lead
ing hotels. and party leaders here pro-
test that they do not know why he
came to Chicago, where he was or how
long he will remain. -

Nice President Sherman,
Wearing Gum Shoes, Goes
to Chicago and Then Van
ishes Mysteriously.
POLITICIANS VERY
MUCH WROUGHT UP
Has He Gone Hunting a
Compromise Candidate
or to Attach a Washboiler
to the Hon. Lorimer.
National News Association

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Just what
is the mission of Vice President Sher-
man in Chicago is the subject of much
wonderment in political quarters in
Washington today. At $40 yesterday
afternoon the vice president quietly
caught fast train for Chicago and
his secretary announced it was on pri-
vate business.
That the vice president has hurried
to the windy city for the purpose of
holding an important political confer
ence, bearing on the battle of the Old
Guard to beat Roosevelt at any cost,
is the belief here today. One report
was that he had gone to see Robert
Todd Lincoln, and that a movement
was on to take up with him as the
compromise" candidate and to side
track Taft.
Reports that the vice president is
taking big part in the move for a
third man are given full credence. Mr..
Sherman will be back Sunday.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Serious
apprehension is felt at the state de-
partment today for the safety of
Americans and their property at
Banes and Nipe Bay, Cuba, where the
Cuban governmental forces are re-
ported to be entirely too inadequate
to repulse the negro rebels from
marching against these places. II was
announced today that if on the arrival
of the Prairie at Guatanamo on Mon
day the revolt has not been halted the
American marines will be sent into
the surrounding country to protect
American property from the negroes.
While both the war and navy de-
partment admitted that orders have
been issued to have soldiers and ma
rines ready to move to Cuba instantly
officials of both departments declar-
ed no such steps will be taken until
Gomez has had a chance to make
good on his promise that the revolt
would be crushed within a week. but
it is freely predicted that if the up
rising be not quelled by Monday night
that stringent measures, will be taken
by this government, which has the
right to intervene in Cuban internal
affairs under the Platt amendment,
passed after the first military occupa-
ton of the island.
IF the Cuban government cannot
or will not protect American property,
we will have to do it ourselves" is
the sentiment at military headquar-
ters.
