He States That Operators Have Time
and Again Refused to Re-employ
the Strikers.
Big Rapids, Mich, Dec. 27.-Gov-
ernor Ferris said he saw nothing in
Meyers latest settlement proposition
TO which he, personally, would OBJ
ject.
when I suggested to the operators
that they consider the original Meyer
plan. they told me such a course
would be an insult to the men who
were working their mines" said the
Governor.
1T is asserted that the Calumet and
Hecla mines are being operated with
practically a full force. If the Calu-
met and Hecla operators are telling
the truth. these men do not want to
have anything to do with the Western
Federation. I AVE put the matter up
to the operators again n again.
They will not take back the strikers
indiscriminately."

Bullet Tore on Piece of Collar OF Ono

New Bern, Dec. 27.-To be shot at
with a rifle while engaged in sere-
nading a pair Of n~ewlyweds. was the
fate which befell a youEg man at ORR
entail, Pamlico county. a night or two
ago. On the day preceding the affair
Lionel Daniels, of Oriental. and Miss
len Hill, Of Newport. came to New
Bern and were quietly married. The
nuptials came as a surprise to the
numerous friends of the contracting
parties and upon their return home
that night several of the young men
Of the town decided to serenade them.
The party went to the home OF the
groom and began their concert"
This evidently did not meet with
the approval Of some member Of the
household II after the singing had
been in progress for several minutes,
the barrel of a rife was trust from an
upper window and a bullet was fired
at the crowd. Happily this did not
1njure the young man whom it struck,
merely tearing a piece off his collar.
Naturally the party of ~serenaders
made a quick exit when the found
that their presence was not by any
means desired.

The Secret.


The news Of the collapse of the

was at an end, and that the prelimi.

been signed at Versailles.
The same mail brought to me an as
tonishing offer from Cairo, to assist
in the reorganization and accept a
commission in the Egyptian military
police. Speed and I, shivering in our
ragged uniforms by the barrack stove,
