EMP PLOYEE5 VOTE
UPON A 6 TR|kE.
Majority of $4,000 Chicago
Street Railway Men
About to Strike.
SITUATION is GRAVE
Efforts Will Be Made to Adjust Wage
Scale and Avoid Callout-Estimate
of Cost of Living.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Voting upon a
strike of $4,000 employees of Chicago
surface and elevated electric lines
began today, and at the headquar-
ters of the Amalgamated Accocia-
tion of Electric and street railway
employees w. D. Mahon, Information
al President announced the early
voting was heavy and overwhel-
mingly in favor of authorizing the
union officials to call the strike.
The situation was admitted to be
grave by officials and a complete tie
up of ali city transportation lines
was feared. The vote will be an
nounced at noon tomorrow.
A joint agreement between the
surface and elevated employees has
been in effect several years. This is
the first time it has been put to a
test.
A committee of union men headed
by Edward McMorrow, a member of
the international executive board,
will meet with the railway operator
in final effort to adjust the wage
scale and avoid the strike. Nego-
tiations have been on since June 1.
The present agreement expired yes
terday, an ID the Union officials today
said they would wait until August
10 for a final answer before calling
the strike. To the managers of the
street line, the unions addressed a
letter today calling attention to the
high cost of living in Chicago. The
letter figures the lowest estimate of
expenses for a famiiy-a man, his
wife and three children is $1,096.-
&C a year. Included in the expense
items are rent, SIS a month; milk,
10 cents day; meats, 35 cents a
day and coal, $40 year. No pro-
vision in the estimate is made for
children's school books, insurance,
such luxuries as bananas, oranges,
and lemons or saving fund to be
used in case Of sickness or death.
The letter continues that figuring
upon a man working every day IN
the wear at 23 cents an hour, the
present minimum wage, his earnings
would total lesse than $500. At
2S cents the union figures that a
street car employe working 800 days
would earn but S1,O22.
The annual statements OF the two
companies involved showed that the
average earnings of the men were
s617.69 for employees of the chicago
City Railway Company and s62l Tor

PRICES Of MEAT
STILL SOARING.
Warning Issued After Disso-
luton of Beef Trust
is Fulfilled.
AT HIGH WATER MARK
Predictions of Advanced Prices Next
Week-Theorie as to the Cause of
Extraordinary Rise.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The warning Is
sued to consumers after the "disso-
luton of the beef trust" that meat
prices would be higher, has been full
filled and today beef, at the local stock
wards, was sold at the highest prices
ever attained here, the figures repre-
senting a new worlds record for al
titude in beef prices.
A scarcity of cattle was given as
the cause for beeves selling at S9.S5
per 100 and a prediction OF ten dollar
cattle for next week was made by
dealers today.
Charles S. Jones, president of the
Live Stock Exchange today issued a
plea for the. raising of more cattle
to supply the increasing demand.
"The situation is serious" he said,
Congress or the State legislatures
must soon take some action to encour-
age cattle raising.
The following table compiled from
figures obtained from several dealers
show the tendency of retail meat
prices which the consumer pays:
Five months ago. Today
Porterhouse steak .20-30c. :. .25-40c
Sirloin (best cuts). 15-20c. :. .20-3Oc
Round steak ...... .15-20c. >. 2O-22c
Lamb chops (best cutsi, 15c. .2O-25c
Pot roast ....... 12-1213c... I5c
Veal outlets ..........2Oc. 25s3oc
Pork chops ....... 14-l6c. .19-21c
These prices according to butchers
have been reached by gradual climb.
The following reasons for the unpre-
cedented meat prices are given by
President Jones:
Increasing population due to i'm
migrants: crowding of people into cl-
ties; opening by Congress of western
breeding and grazing lands to settle
ment; abandonment of cattle raising
in corn growing states and selling of
calves for slaughter by dairymen.
New York, Aug. 2.-Red ink marks
on the bills of fare in many New
York restaurants notified the patrons
that the prices of all meats had been
advanced five and ten cents a portion,
due to the unprecedented high price
of cattle on the Chicago market.
The management of catering COM
pany maintaining chain of restau-
rants all over New York and in prac-
tically every city in the United States
served notice that beginning tomorrow
there would be five cent Increase on
all meats and an advance in the prices
of many other dishes, For instance
in these restaurants potatoes that
have been served as side dishes with
steaks will cost ten cents portion.
Other side dishes also would be
charged for and it was rumored that
eventually bread and butter would
be served at an added charge.
The advance in restaurant prices
follows the remarkable upward shoot
of wholesale and retail prices since
the so-called "dissolution of the beet
trust"

SAYS GRACE SHOT SELF.
Wife Declares He Was Wounded in
Struggle With Her.

Looking straight at her paraly-
zed husband, Eugene Grace, who
looked at her from his stretcher,
placed directly in front Of the wit
ness stand in the court room in At
lanta yesterday, Mrs. Daisy Ulrich
Opie Grace told the jury that she
did not shoot her husband as is
charged, but that her husband had
shot himself during struggle with
her, and that the quarrel was over
another woman to whom Grace
had been attentive. Rer first words
on the stand were:
Gentlemen, l am is:.5Scent, did
not shoot my husband. God knows
and he knows it," indicating with
gesture the husband, who lay help
less on the stretcher. Grace smiled
cynically.
Mrs. Grace told the most re-
markable stories ever heard in
courtroom. With flushed face and
hands trembling she spoke in clear
but low voice, declaring that her hus-
band whom she is accused of shoot
ing, had tried to kill her several
times. Once, she said, he tried to
drown her; again he stabbed, her
and finally, the day ne was shot, ne
seized pistol and in the struggle
that followed he wounded himself.
Her description of the scene was
dramatic. "He grabbed my left
wrist with his right hand and my
right wrist in his left hand. He
twisted my left hand so hard that
dropped the papers he did not want
me to destroy. Then he grabbed my
throat with his right hand and rea-
ched in the bureau drawer and took
out his revolver. l grabbed him
around the arms and backed him
over on to the bed. was struggling
to keep him from shooting me when
the pistol went off"
She did not read her statement
which was 1000 words in length, but
spoke it almost oratorlcally.
Grace was revealed in black col
orc &c q creature who had rewarded
wifelv love and generosity with. the
w;felv love and generosity with the
erossest cruelty and infdelity.
Grace's alleged chase after other
women on whom he squandered his
wife's money was feature OF the
statement, though Mrs. Grace gave
no names.
"To me Mr.. Grace is the most fas-
cinating man I ever met. have
made every sacrifice for him. have
netted him and bumored him like a
snoiled child" said Mrs. Grace. 81
have spent $4,000 on him. I have
taken his abuse and his beatings
time and again. Mr.. Grace and !
were out in my own automobile and
he became angry at me and tried to
n,sb me out of the car. Another
time he threatened to pawn a valua-
ble min and ring of my former hus-
hands because I wouldn't give him
money" III :
Tho final scene came on March ;
,rben Mrs Grace says she learned
crace had arranged to use money
she had given him to take a trip
North with another woman. Ihey
oMarre,ed Grace had a pistol in his
hand and in a struggle with her he
accidentally shot himself.
