FosS STRIKERS STAND PAT.
They Refuse To Return Under Old Con-
ditions.

Boston, July 2l.--Strikers at two
Hyde Park manufacturing plants con-
trolled by Gov. Foss voted unanimously
at mass meeting Saturday to refuse
a proposition for settlement contained
in the report of Louis f. Post, acting
United States secretary of labor, who
went to Boston from Washington in an
attempt to end this strike. The only
offer which the governor would make to
his workmen, Mr. Post reported, was
that they return to the factories under
the conditions which existed when they
walked out two months ago, and that
they leave individual grievances to be
adjusted as such after returning to
work
In his report, Mr.. Post says: "0n the
question of wages, Gov Foss has exhibit
ed to me tabulations showing that the
rate in the two factories in question
averaged at the time the strike began,
$3.50 cents an hour, including the foun-
dry, and 1851 cents an hour, excluding
the foundry. He has also exhibited TO
me letters and tabulations calculated to
show that in the factory of one large
competitor of the Sturtevant factory,
average wages, including the foundry,
are only 26.l cents an hour"

J. M. BOUTWELL, COLT
WAS A WINNER
Three Year-0ld Peter johnson Trots in
a:I3H on Heavy Track
at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, July 2l.--The New England
trainer, Walter Cox, was the particular
shining light Of the final program of the
grand circuit meeting at Brunot's island
track Saturday afternoon. On account
Of the continued postponements caused
by rain the class races were all declared
off, five stake races being raced, the ag-
gregate value of which was $4,000, and
of these the teamster from Dover won
three, and was a money winner in the
fourth.
1t was a great day for Cox. Del
Rey, in the $4,000 stake for 2:lo PAGERS /;
Peter johnson in the $4,000 event for
three ear-old trotters; and Judson Girl
in the $4,000 event for GALS trotters,
cashing for him, while Lady Grattan was
a heat winner in the 50 900 Pennsylvania
stake for 2:l0 trotters. He also started
Esther w. in the 2:07 trotting stake,
but she alone failed to pay expenses, fin
ishing out of the money.
Del Rey, on account of his splendid
race at North Randall last week, was
conceded to have mortgage on the rich
Fort Pitt stake, and after he had just
breezed the first two heats it looked to
be all over but paying off to the mount
of Cox In the third heat he was in the
lead, entering the home stretch when he
broke and did not regain his strike until
he was past the wire, Tom Murphy
easily landing Frank Bogash, Jr., winner.
Del Rey made no mistakes in the next
round and won as he pleased all the
way.
Race No. for Cox was the three
year-old trotting stake, in which the To-
cal filly Sweet Alice was about an equal
favorite with the Cox colt in the books.
The latter was very unsteady, while Pc
ter johnson looked like a stake trotter
taking record of 2;l3A in the second
heat, fast mile when the condition of
the track is taken into consideration.
The winner is owned by James NJ. Bout
well of Barre, VT, and is a candidate for
all of the rich futurities.

First Match to Be Sailed on
Sept. 10, 1914, Off
Sandy Hook
Upton ACCEPTS
CONDITIONS IMPOSED
Similar to Those of 1903, Elk
cept for Change in Rules
of Measurement

New York, July 2l.--A series of races
for the Americas cup win be sailed in
eastern waters during September, 1914.
This was formally announced by the cup
committee of the New York Yacht club
Saturday night,
The Royal Ulster Yacht club of Bel
fast, acting for Sir Thomas Upton, ca
bled the New York Yacht club committee
Saturday that the conditions prescribed
by the New York Yacht club had been
accepted and signed and were on the
way to America,
On the receipt of the cablegram, the
club officials announced that the tenta
tive dates for the races had been Sc
lected as follows: Thursday, Saturday
and Tuesday, Sept. 10, II, and Is, and to
continue on succeeding Thursdays, Sat
urdays and Tuesdays until three out Of
five races had been won by one of the
eontesting yachts.
1t was stated that the races would be
sailed under practically the same condi-
lions that have governed former Ameri-
cas- cup matches, with the exception that
they are to be held under the present
racing rules and rule of measurement now
in force in the New York Yacht club"
This latter clause refers to the techni-
cal methods of measurement and other
details incidental to the cup race, and
not to the size of the yachts. On this
latter point the cup committee main
tanned a policy of extra silence. 1t was
said, however, that the cup defending
club was not committed to either rs
or a0.foot yacht and would not make
public announcement of its decision in
this matter until later.

VAIL SAYS MELLEN'S
AIDES WILL BE KEPT
No Intention, as Reported, of Cleaning
Out the New Haven
System

New York, July 2l.-Theodore y. Vail,
president Of the American Telephone g.
Telegraph company, denied as absurd a
published story that the new president
of the New Haven railroad, whoever he
may be, viii get orders to clear out all
the subordinate officers who have been
lieutenants of Mr.. Mellen.
1T woul> be the most foolish and de-
structive policy we could adopt" said
Mr.. Vail. "0ur object rather will be
to retain as many of the officers as pos
sible and do our constructive work
through them"
Mr.. Vail with j. Pierpont Morgan are
regarded as the two leaders of the COM
mittee of the New Haven directors which
is to select the new president. The
American Telephone g. Telegraph COM
pany is one of the chief interests of the
Morgan firm. The late Mr.. Morgan re-
garded Mr.. Vail as the greatest construc-
tive big business man of the country.
Mr. Vail made il clear Saturday that
the nominating committee has no man in
mind for Mr.. Mellen's position and will
not have until it meets next week on
Tuesday at the New Haven offices here.

CITY'S MAYOR FAILS
TO SUPPRESS PAPER
The Seattle "Times" and Closed
Saloons Get Temporary
Injunctions.

Seattle, Wash, July 81. - Mayor
George L. Cotteril enlarged the city's
police force Saturday night by swearing
in half OF Seattle's firemen'a as special of
fcers and is endeavoring to prevent a
repetition OF last nights riots when
sailors from United States warships led
mobs of their comrades and citizens
against Socialists and Industrial Work
ers of the World.
A provost guard from the Pacific fleet,
which is here for the festivities of the
Golden Potlatch, is also assisting the
police in keeping order. The guard was
called out last night after the rioting
sailors and marines had helped to at
tack the Socialists county headquarters,
one Of their halls and two halls used
by the I. w. W., from which furniture
and books were thrown into the street
and burned
Mayor Cotterill failed in his attempt
of this afternoon to close all saloons
for the balance of the day and to sup
press the Saturday and Sunday editions
of the Seattle Times, which, he charged,
published an article which caused last
nights rioting
He was thwarted in both instances
through temporary injunctions issued by
Judge HUMPHREYS of the superior court.
The injunetions were made returnable
next Wednesday, three days after the
feet leaves the harbor
The mayor held that the Times in
printing an alleged distorted account of
speech made by Secretary Daniels of
the navy before the Rainier club on
Thursday night had melted a riot. He
heard the secretary's speech himself.
After comforting with Secretary Daniels
and Gov Ernest Lister, Cottrill decided
to take action to prevent the further
publication of infammatory articles.
The Times in its afternoon edition,
which was held up until after 3 o'clock,
described the riots as an attack by the
Reds"
Col. A. J. Blethen, editor and propri-
etor of the Times, said that if necessary
he would apply for federal injunction
Monday to keep the mayor from inter
fering with his publication.

Unconscious Half a Mile
Away.

Winchester, July 2l.-Escapi death
most remarkably, Ernest Borolli, man
ager of the New England Fireworks Co,
was found unconscious Saturday half a
mile from the plant after it had been
destroyed by an explosion. Three work
men were picked up also. and all were
at local hospital Saturday night with
even chances of recovery
The explosion occurred in the after
noon, and shortly afterward portions of
Borolli's clothing, his eyeglass case, and
several coins he was known TO have car
ried in his pockets were found scattered
about the scene of the disaster. When
found he was unconscious, his clothing
had been burned from him, and he was
near death.
What caused the accident has not been
ascertained as yet. Borolli, with several
workmen, was engaged manufacturing
rockets at the time of the explosion. II
came without warning, and all of those
within the factory were blown up with
the destruction Of the building. The
monetary loss was slight, the building
being only a small one ana of little
value.

MADERO KILLED
ASLEEP IN BED,
SAYS HIS WIDOW
She Tells Circumstantialiy of the AS
sassination of the Late Mexi-
can Ruler.

Washington, d. c., July 2l.--Senora
Madero, widow of the slain president
of Mexico, Francisco l. Madero, jr., said
Saturday that her husband had been
murdered brurally. She backed up cir
cumstantial allegations of the way Pres
ident Madero was killed with photo
graphs of the apartment in the Mexican
national palace, in which, according to
her story, he met his death. For this
government to recognize the Huerta adj
ministration would be atrocious, she
said.
"Who accepts Huerta, accepts his
acts added the widow.
at the moment my husband met his
death, he was unclothed," Sonora Ma
dero related. "These photographs show
his clothing, his hat, his shoes and all
his other apparel. Here is photograph
of the rooms of the superintendent of
the national palace in Mexico City,
where he was held captive when he was
arrested, and on wall hook is seen his
hat on the floor are his shoes, and his
other clothing is in various places.
eff he was shot when trying to escape,
in the yard or near the penitentiary
when he was being taken TO prison, as
Huerta and Diaz asserted, how comes II
that he did not dress himself before
starting?
"He was slain in one of the rooms of
the superintendent of the palace after
he was asleep in bed. Cardenas, then
captain. now colonel, has exhibited the
knife with which he stabbed my husband
and the revolver with which he struck
him on the head when he was asleep"
