WATERS STRIKE
CRIPPLE HOTELS
Advance in Foo0 Prices Because
of Increased Wages.
NEGRO STRIKE BREAKERS
Strike May Spread to Chicago and
Baltimore During Conventions
President of Hotel Association
Urges Contribution.

New York-Hotel and restaurant
,wners or Manhattan figured that If
they are forced to grant the demands
of the striking walters and cooks
prices in their establishments will be
advanced at least 20 per cent. 1t was
pointed out that if the charges are not
increased several of the moderate
price houses will have to close their
dining rooms. Another interesting de-
velopment in the strike situation is
the prospect that the walters who ex-
pect to be employed in Chicago and
Baltimore when the Republican and
Democratic conventions are held will
take advantage of the crowds and will
demand a substantial increase in
wages under threats to strike and
leave the hotels and restaurants in
those cities tied up.
Gus Schult, manager of the Hotel
Hermitage, said if the association re-
cognizes the union the moderate price
restaurants and hotels in Manhattan
will be compelled to charge 25 cents
for bread and butter for each person.
He gave the following table of pres
ent and proposed prices:

OUR MARINES IN CUBA.
Gomez Consents to Their Guarding
Property of Americans.

Havana-American marines were
landed at Daiguiri for the protection
of property there, owned by citizens
of the United Stares.
President Gomez telegraphed Cen
eral Monteagudo, the commander in
chief of the Cuban army, who is at
the scene of hostilities in the Province
of Oriente, stating that the General
might permit American marines to
land on Cuban soil to guard foreign
property.
The dispatch added that the Cuban
forces then might retire from guard
ing such places and devote themselves
to pursuing the insurgents.
Business is at standstill and opera
tons on all public improvements have

BABY BORN ON LOCOMOTIVE.
Engineer Rushes Woman from Coun-
try to the Nearest Hospital.


Duluth, Minn-A Duluth & Iron
Range locomotive was running north
on it's way to Tower, Mimi, and
short distance above Embarrass Sta
ton little girl appeared on the track
and tagged the engine. She cried out
that her mother, Mrs. NJ. Anderson,
was i'll, and will you please take her
to Tower to the hospital?"
The engineer was ready to help.
The family resided on farm near
the track, and the sick woman was
made as comfortable as possible in
the locomotive cab.
After few miles had been covered
the fireman told the engineer some
thing which caused him to open the
throttle another notch or two, and
the speed was soon enough to cause
the people along the line to stare. In
the vicinity of West Two Rivers the
engineman became aware that the
stork had paid it's visit. The engine
rushed onward with all the speed
that orders and necessary stops would
permit Word was telegraphed ahead
to have conveyance in waiting. Then
mother and child were hurried to the
hospital, where it was said both are
doing well.

WILBUR WRIGHT,
AVIATOR, DEAD
First Man to Fly a Victim o1
Typhoid Fever.
PIONEER IN AIR NAvlGATl0
How Wright Became the Lord Of the
Air'-Won Title in France Before
His Countrymen Acknowl-
edged His Greatness.

Dayton, O.-Wilbur Wright, pioneer
of aviation, died at his home here, due
to a relapse from typhoid fever, fol-
lowing an illness of several weeks
His father, Bishop Milton Wright,
was at his bedside, as were his bro
ther Orville, with whom he had been
associated in aviation; his sister,
Miss Catherine Wright and his broth
ers Lorin and Reuschlin, who were
not SO well known to the public.
Wilbur Wright was the first man
in the history of the world to leav ,
fat ground in an engine driven, hea-
vier than air flying machine.
The Wright brothers, sons of Bishop
Milton Wright, were born in Henry
County, Ind. Wilbur, on April 16, 1867,
and Orville four years later. They
are of English extraction, the first an
cesters in America having settled in
Springfield, Mass, in 1876.
Regarded at first with doubt be-
cause of the secrecy of their expert
ments and later forced into patent liti-
CATION marked by bitterness, Wilbur
Wright and his brother, Orville, lied
to see honors. Wilbur Wright, dying
at the age of 45 and in the fifth year
of his triumph, lived to see the era OF
aerial transport he had inaugurated
well on its way.
Wilbur Wright demonstrated the
possibilities of aerial traffic when he
made the historic flight from Cover
nors Island to Grants Tomb and back
in October, 1909.
Four years after the first public
flights of the Wright brothers aero
planes have flown in exhibitions in
evry country of the globe.
Washington.-Tribu to the mem
ory of Wilbur Wright were paid here
by President Taft, Secretary of War
Stimson and army officers. President
Taft said:
II am very sorry to hear that the
father of the great new science OF
earonautics is dead and that he had
not been permitted to live to see the
wonderful development that is sure to
follow along the primary lines of the
new science which he laid down. He
deserves to stand with Fulton, Steph-
enson and Bell"

Frank A. Read, president of the Ho-
tel Association of New York, has sent
letter to all the members of that Or
ganization telling them that it favors
spending $1000,000 to block the plans
of the International Hotel Workers
Association to force the hotels and res
taurants here to recognize the union
and adopt the closed shop system.
More than 5000 negro walters from
points south were said to be in town
ready to 60 to work if needed. Upon
them the hotel arrangements are re-
lying to smash the strike.
1t was estimated that fifty hotels
and restaurants have been affected by
the strike While the number OF strlk-
ing hotel employees, including walters,
buses, cooks and pantrymen, is guess
work, the strike leaders themselves
not being able to give figure, there
are in the neighborhood of $500 out,
the strikers insisting that there are at
least 5000.
Washington.-A strike among hotel
employees here in sympathy with the
New York walkout was forecasted at
largely attended mass meeting, at
which Grant Hamilton, national organ
izer of the American Federation of
Labor, addressed the hotel workers
and urged them to organize.
