Brilliant and successful as was his

Strike Almost Collapses.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Deserted by
the longshoremen, their ranks re-
duced by many OBJECTIONS, the strike
of the firemen and seamen on coast
wise steamships all but collapsed to-
day. The leaders called mass
meeting of the strikers at headquar-
ters In an effort to stimulate the lag
ging enthusiasm, but few attended.
and these indicated by their listless-
ness that they were attending the
funeral OF their cause.
Despite assertions OF the steamship
men that not only have the long
shoremen returned TO their posts, but
that the fremen and seamen were
seeking their old jobs, strike leaders
assert that thousands are on strike
and that many others are walking
out. 1t was announced after a meet
ing of the federation officers that
.eHe thousand lengsheretfen would
strike at O'Clock tomorrow morn

BREAKS RECORD
 BY WONDERFUL HI6H JUMP
California Athlete Goes Over Bar at
 Six Feet Nine Inches.

George Horine. the wonderful high Jumper from the Pacific Coast. broke his own worlds record in a practice jump at Travers Island, ye.tsrday six feet eight and one-uuarter inch- es.
 On his first attempt at this height FIorine knocked the bar off with his arm. but came right back with q leap which took him over with Inches to spare. Chflds then suggested that the bar be put to six feot nine inches and Horine agreed Carefully Ineasuring up to the take-off, and. with great spring. went over at height never before reached by any high jumper.
 As the jump was made in practice with no regularly appointed officials. and no other competitors, there Is no chance of the .performance being rec- ognized as record. but there was no doubt as to the height, as the jump was measured with a steel tape, and it was found that the bar had only three-quarters of an inch sag, which made the actual jump six feet eight and one-quarter inches.
