STRIKE SPREADS.
 ID OTHER CITIES
Traffic on Three of the
 Principal Railroads in England Tied Up.

London, Sept. 18.--The sym pathetic strike movement has; spread to other cities than Dub- lin and now embraces Liverpool and Birmingham. Both the dock and railroad employees at all three cities quit work yesterday and has resulted in the complete paraly- sis of traffic on three of the principal railroads of England.
 It is feared that the strike will extend to all railroads and will be Inc most serious strike which the country has ever seen. The railroads are attempting to sc- cure he promise of their empluy- rs that they will not engage in a sympathetic strike if the cOm- panirS do not come to the as SiStancc of the roads involved in the trouble. but are. meeting with no success. Labor organizers are busy among all local unions throughout the country and boast that the entire country will be tied up shortly if the demands of the strikers are not granted.

SHOOTS WIFE
 AND POL|CEM MAN
Believed to Have Been Responsi- bIe for Death Of Another--
 Still at Large.

Everett, Sept. l8.--Fireman Schraler, a member of the city fire department, shot and killed his wife last night and mortally wounded a policeman who at tempted his arrest. Schraler has just bden released from jail where he served a short sentence, haN- ing been convicted upon com- Dlaint of his wife of nOn-Sup- port.
 The watchman of d mill here was later found dead with bull let through his head. The body had been stuffed into the fire hole and was partly consumed. The murder of the watchman is also credited to the fireman. Il is be- licved that when the alarm was first sent out that the Watchman attempted to apprahend the fug- tive, who killed him and hid the uudy. Others believe that Sch ralcr deliberately sought out the watchman and killed him in re- vpnge, as he accused some man. whose name he did not mention of having been responsible for his wifc's causing his arrest af- ter they had been living apart for months.
 A description of the murderer has been sent broadcast and the sheriff will take up the trail with hluodhuunds in an effort to TUT him down. He is fully armed and the posse realize they have q desperate man to deal with.

WONDERFUL LOCKS
 Of PANAMA CANAL

It is impossible to convey in words anything approaching an adequate conception of the pie ture which the series of locks of the Panama canal, with their
 massive. towering walls and their equipment of colossal gates presents, says a writer in Scrib- ner's Magazine. 1t defies descrip- tion, as it does the camera even in it's wonderful modern devefop- ment, and can be portrayed only by the inspired pencil of a Pen nell. It is stupendous, prodig- ious, Overwhelming--even these adjectives are inadequate.
 Every device that human in genuity can ct4ceive has been adopted to secure safety for the vessels using the locks. In the first place, no vessel will be per mitted to enter or pass through the locks under it's own power The worst accidents which have occurred in locks hitherto have baen due to an engineer in the engine room misinterpreting a sfsaal lropn the, bri4st, go- ing ahead when he should have gone back. or vice versa, and ramming a gate. When a ves- sel arrives at a lock at Gatun or Mirafleres it will be tied up to the approach wall and turned ov- CT to the absolute control of the canal authorities.

JAHS WANT WAR
 WITH UNITED STATES

JuSrh D. iIalIuday. Inc editor of the Japan Advertiser of Toki". who has arrived in America from Yokohama. declares that all Ja- pan is eager for war With the Unilcd States. The unrducated classes would plunge into the struggle at once, first srizine the Philippines and Hawaii, but the educated classes favor itihg ten years until the Russian war debt shall have been extihguish- cd, he said.
 "fhe feeling," Mr. llalluday added, lis not so.much that Japan and the United States will come to blows, but that the white and yellow races must fight out their differences. The way in which the yellow man has been treated by the white is the foundation for this feeling. The situation in California is not the funda- mental trouble. hut it has been aggravated and appears on the surface as the chief cause of dis cord between Japan and the Un- .ited States, n.. ~,t4A .,>.
 Mr. Halluday also says that the exchange of peace professions and the peace preaching of Amer ican missionaries are iistaste- full to the Japanese people for war is in their hearts and they welcome no line rf speech which uiScOurageS il.

LONDON. Jan. al Balkan Allies

Delegates of the Allies TO the
peace conference are saying farewell
and packing their hggage prepara-
tory to departure from London.
A news agency dispatch received
here from Constantinople today
ports the Turkish delegates h. 'e
been ordered home. but the co.
mand has not yet been received here
The good offices of the Powers TO
avert a further resort TO arms has
apparently failed
At a late hour each side TO the
controversy is accusing the other OF
bluffing
The Turks declare that in answer
TO the Powers note, the Allies Were
given greater concessions as a basis
for resuming peace negotiations
The allies practically admit this but
say the terms which would have beer
acceptable a fortnight ago. cannot
be now entertained, and that tn
Turks game obviously is. to lead
them by the nose for months count
ing on complications which might
arise favorable to Turkey.
The head of the Seryian delega-
tion today declared that war Is enc

consider anything short of the abso
lutte surrender Of Adrianople. He
said he did not believe interference
with the hllies was possible.
