LARGEST OF LABOR UNIONS.

London, March 29.-The National
Union of Railwaymen, which came into
existence today through the merger of
the Amalgamated Society of Railway
Servants, the United Pointsmen and
Signalmen's Society and the General
Railway Workers Union, is the largest
labor union in the United Kingdom,
and probably the largest in the world,
its membership being 1SS,00O and its
resources $2,23O,O0O. The amalgama-
tion of the several societies into one
organization is the first instance of
any trade union adopting the syndi-
calist idea of a union covering all sec
tions of an industry, in preference to
the old system of organization by
craft or trade The principal object,
of course, is to make it possible for
the new society to call out practically
every person in the employment of
railway companies in the event of a
strike.

The president read to the cabinet
his message to the extraordinary ses-
sion of congress, about 1900 words
long. 1t was approved and ordered

the message with the president said
it dealt entirely with the tariff, leav-
ing to the discretion of congress the
method of handling the issue and call
ing attention briefly to the need of
currency legislation as soon as the
tariff was disposed of.
Mr.. Wilson discussed certain phases
of the China situation with the cabi-
net but the recognition of the repub-
lie which practically has been de-
cided upon was deferred until a sub
sequent meeting.
The president announced his future
/ policy with the respect to jury re,
form and the need of a congressional
convention in New Jersey. He sug
| gested to Acting Governor Fielder
that if the jury bill failed in the pres
ent legislature an extra session oi
that body should be called. The pres
ident also offered to speak in New
Jersey in behalf of the reforms.
Among the presidents callers Fri
day was Cyrus Adler and DR.. Her
Friedenwald of the American Jewish
convention. They discussed the Rus
sian passport question with him, sub
mitting long memorandum urging
that the attitude of this government
be maintained in the negotiation o
future treaties with Russia.

Turkish Capital IS
Goal of Bulgarians

Turkish armies at the Tchatalja lines
has resulted in series of complete
reverses for the Turks, who, after a
stubborn defense of their advance
posts, began retreat which soon be-
came a panic-stricken rout.
In spite of the long-continued and
desperate fighting only 500 wounded
have been brought to the hospitals in
the capital.

ople by the Bulgarians has cast gloom
over official circles. The newspapers

Robbed Man Who Befriended

Atlantic City, n j., August 26.-Har-
ry H. Simonin, arrested yesterday
charged with stealing several thousand
dollars worth of jewelry in Philadel-
phia and who, the police say, posed as
a society man with acquaintance at
Narrangansett Pier and Newport is be-
ing held today for extradition ID
Pennsylvania.
III the meantime an inquiry will be
made into Simonin's recent movements
to see whether he had any connection
with big jewelry robberies in New Eng
land and other places.
Simonin is accused of robbing the
home of William Oliver of Philadel-
phia, who had befriended him after the
latter had run through an inherited
fortune estimated at $4,000
The accused man claims that he
comes from titled family and that he
lost a baranetcy through coming to
this country against the wishes of his
mother He has reputation as a
large and reckless spender.
Simonin dropped out of sight for a
year and about three weeks ago he
turned up in this city, apparently ouc
of funds. Oliver met him on the street
and offered him the protection of his
home. A few days ago Simonin disap-
peared and at the same time jewelry
valued at $4,000 was missed from the
Oliver home.
A search was made for Simonin and
yesterday he was found on the beach
at Atlantic City in bathing suit. He
took his arrest cody and invited to
luncheon the detective who made the
arrest. When Simmons clothes were
searched the detective found fifteen
pawn tickets for amounts ranging from
$3.50 to $50 and $1.15 in money.

from the owners of cats that his ad
was an incentive for small boys to
steal their neighbors felines. Some
people who got an idea that he was a

result was that only about half a hun
dred cats were brought, but in the
heart of the business section they
looked like five hundred.
The object of the queer ad was to

had bought them, and then turn them
