r. 7. CRANE co. EMPLOYEES
The American Federation of Labor
has begun a campaign to organize
the plants of the R. T. Crane Co.
Messages in eighteen languages
are being circulated among the
thousands of Crane employees, and
preparations are being made for a
series of meetings at which the gospel
of unionism will be preached.
On account of the well-known pro-
gressive principles of Charles r,
Crane, head of the company, no OPP
position to the organization Of the
men is expected.
Yet, strangely, opposition to the
efforts Of organizers seems to have
come from some officials of the COM
pany, but probably this is because
Charles R. Crane didn't know any,
thing about it.
The main plant of the Crane Com
pany is at Twelfth and Canal streets.

pany officials agree that the amount
Of booty secured by the blowing Of the
safe ranged between $500 and $500.
The search is still on.
The train usually carries large
amounts of money for small banks
along the line, but because to-day was
holiday, the customary shipments
we're not made. The mail car, which
also was rified, carried but few regis
tered packages, and the value OF these
has not been estimated.
Although the passenger coaches were
not disturbed, great excitement pre-
vailed among the people on the train.
According to a report by Harrison, the
conductor, a few passengers made a
stand in the negro coach and ex-
changed shots with the robbers when
they conducted the crews Of the ex-
press and mail cars TO the rear at pis-
tolls point
The hold-up occurred shortly after 2
O o'clock in the morning, and 1t was not
until after 6 o'clock that the sections
of the train were assembled and able
to proceed southwark. After footing
the cars the robbers had run the engine
twenty miles south of Pope, Miss.
where they abandoned it and escaped
into the woods.

Nolan, Sheriff Doyle ordered search
made for the weapon with which the
murder had been done. Many places
were examined witfROqlt result. Finally
the bottom of Mohansic Lake, about
fifteen hundred feet distant, was
dragged in an attempt to bring to the
surface the instrument used to crush
Wylie's skull, but without success.
Stanley told the coroner he went 20
PeekskiIl Thursday night to make some
purchases and had taken Nolan with
him, returning about 1880 o'clock
When he left the carriage TO enter
shop, Nolan, with the cunning or the
insane, slipped away and bought a
bottle of whiskey. overindulgence. in
which wrecked his mind thirteen years
ago
According to DR.. Harris, Nolan's all
ment is known as early dementia' or
dementia pracox.
Another fact brought out by the in
vestigation was that Wylie had been
paid his monthly wage of 500 30 Sat
urday night and displayed a roll OF
bills about the cottage. A single penny
was found in his clothing yesterday.
The murdered attendant had repu-
tation for sobriety and gentieness
among his fellow workers and was OF
a frugal disposition, sending money 10
his parents at Morrison Manor, seven
miles distant, every month.
Wylie was last seen alive at 10: 50
o'clock Thursday night by STANLEY,
when the caretaker returned from
PeekskiH. Wylie was at that time sit
ting fully dressed in his room, reading

London, July 5.-Evidence in the 3d.
100000 will case came TO a conclusion
yesterday and on Monday morning Sir
Edward Carson will begin his closing
speech TO the jury on behalf of Lord
and Lady Sackville. Afterward F. 4.
Smith will reoly in behalf of Malcolm
Scott. who is contesting his millionaire
brGher's will, and the famous case
will probably end on Tuesday.
The court was again so full yesterday
that witnesses had to edge their way
through standing rows of listeners to
reach the witness box, and Lord Rib
blesdale, who had corner seat in the
front row. had to rise to let them pass
to and fro.
Lady Sackville was under cross-ex-
animation for an hour. Lord Sack
vile and their daughter, Miss Sack
ville-West, both gave evidence, and a
dozen other witnesses were called TO
rebut the suggestion that Sir John
Scott was poor creature who cringed
TO Lady Sackville and had no will of
his own.
In place of the excitement of Thurs
day, the hearing yesterday rather had
the air Of polite inquiry in a West
End drawing room, with smiles and
bows and courteous pleasantries
thrown in. Mrs. Asquith, wife of the
Premier, and Mrs. Winston Churchill
were again prominent among the
crowd of society leaders in court.
