ted States.
The famous centre court of the
England Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton ground, although showing signs
of wear after the strenuous season,
was in fairly good shape. All the
reserved seats had been sold in ad-
vance, but the crush at the opening
was not so great as at the match
between Wilding and Mclaughlin a
few weeks ago.

cision had been made In regard to
the wearing of spikes, the American
players being free to wear them If
they chose.

LEADERS ADMIT
SILK WAR IS LOST
Patrick QuinIan, Released from
Trenton Prison, AcknowI-
edges Strike Is Over.
Especial to the Newark stnr.J

PATERSON, N. J., July 25.-The re-
turn of thousands of silk millhands
to their looms during the past week
has at last forced the leaders of the
Industrial Workers of the World to
admit that the strike is over and has
been a failure. Miss Elizabeth Cur
ley Flynn has practically admitted de-
feat in an address. censuring those
who quit and went back to work
with victory at their door"
Patrick Quinlan, the convicted I. w.
w. leader, has also admitted that the
labor war is ended. He made the
statement that as far as he could see
the silk strike was apparently lost. -
Quinlan volunteered this information
last night, following his release from
the state prison at Trenton on bail
He was also notified officially that he
had been nominated by the Socialist
party of Hudson county for State
senator.
The scheduled meeting of the dyers
helpers called for last night to vote on
the question of ending their strike was
farce. Less than 100 persons of the
5000 employed in this branch of the
industry appeared at the meeting. A
large number of them have already
returned to work. and at recent
meeting majority of 400 helpers
voted to end the strike. This vote the
leaders declared invalid and wished
to prolong the strike by calling an
other meeting.
Another fact made plain today was
that the ribbon waivers will receive
no support from the broad silk weav-
ers in the attempt of the former to
prolong the fight for a nine-hour day.
Practically every ribbon manufac-
turer in the city has signed the agree
men which makes the granting of the
demand impossible. II the agreement
Is carried out. Quinlan may appear
at meeting of the ribbon weavers
tomorrow and urge them to continue
the strike.

DEATH TAKES TOLL
IN COASTS STORM
ToddIer Drowned in Cellar
Wherein He Sought Refuge
from Downpour.
TFrom a stan Correspondence !

PERTH AMBOY, N. j., July 25.-
One life Is known to have been lost
yesterday afternoon In the fiercest
storm that has swept the Jersey coast
In a decade. Telegraph and telephone
poles were blown down, trains were
held up by washouts, trees and houses
were struck by lightning, boats were
blown from their moorings and In thle
city and surrounding towns entire
streets were washed out.
The known victim OF the two-hou
storm Is 4-year-oid Victor TedalS, sor
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Fedak. of b2t
Willer street, this city. The little lad
was playing in the yard of his home
when the storm came up with sud
denness that was surprising, and as
his mother hastened to close her
house against the downpour the boy
fastened for shelter.
When the rain stopped Mrs. Fedak
went in search of Victor She re-
membered that she had last seen him
In the yard, and her search carried
her through the open cellar door. Mrs.
Joseph Bulinsky, nelghbor, armed
herself with clothespole and went
into the cellar with Mrs. Fedak
AS she prodded around the sub
merged floor Victor's body came to
the surface. He had been drowned
In four feet of water.
The storm reached this city at r. 10
p. m, and for an even two hours
the elements played havoc with prop
erty Old timers here say 1t was the
worst storm they ever saw. IT swept
northward along the coast and sud-
denly took an eastward turn before
reaching Newark, passing out to sea.

CURRENCY BILL
INSURGENTS FIRM
President VainIy Tries for Two
Hours to Shake Representa-
tive Wingo's Determination.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson endeavored today to
reconcile differences of opinion
among Democrats of the House bank
ing committee on the administration
currency bill
1t seemed that the administration
supporters would make an effort to
have their bill reported soon with
hope that the fight on amendments
would be settled in the Democratic
caucus.
The President spent most of the
forenoon with Representative Wingo,
of Arkansas, one of those opposed to
certain features of the bill.
The Presidents conference last
night with Representative Henry,
who has been recommending certain
changes, was described today as sat-
isfactory and administrati ton officials
were optimistic that the differences
would be adjusted. The President
arranged to see Representatives
Eagle and Ragsdale Monday. They
have been prominent in opposition to
the Glass bill.
CHAIRMAN owen. OF the SENATE
banking committee, said today that
on a personal poll of Senate Demo-
Gratis he had found forty-seven who
favored taking up currency reform
at the present session, and two who
favored recess of Congress and j
postponement of action until fall.
Democrats of the House committee
resumed discussion of the socalled in
surgent amendments with chairman
Glass. endeavoring to press vote.
Representative Buckley believed it
would be three weeks before an at
tempt could be made to conclude con-
sideration of the bill.
Representative Wingo, after spend
ing two hours with President Wilson.
returned to the conference prepared
to insist upon his amendments. Rep
resentatives Henry and Ragsdale still
were determined to press the insur-
gent amendments in caucus if beaten
in committee.

Situation Grave
r. r. MediatOrS

NEW YORK, July 25.-Secrecy in
vests the conferences of the Federal
mediators and the railroad mana
gers, conductors and trainmen so
closely that little is known regarding
what progress has been made toward
an agreement upon the matters to
be arbitrated between the railroads
and the men.
After conference with representa-
tives of the trainmen and conductors
the mediators this afternoon declared
that the situation had reached crit
ical stage. They would add nothing
to explain this statement.
Later in the afternoon the board
again met the conference committee
of the railroad managers.
When the conferences were resumed
today the belief was that the rail-
roads were demanding of the men
a compromise by which the roads
would be permitted to submit some
at least, of their own grievances to-
arbitration The railroad managers
say public opinion is beginning to
force the men to come part way to
meet them in this attempt to adj
just their differences.

Nonsense" Says Murphy in
Reply to Sulzer Charge

NEW YORK, July 25.-Charles F.
Murphy put down as nonsenss yes
terday Governor Suffers charge that
he was responsible for the loss Of life
in the Binghamton fire. Mr.. Murphy
showed in his manner strong re-
sentiment against the governor. 1t
seemed for a minute to those who
talked with him that Mr. Murphy
would break loose and say Just what
he thought of Mr.. Sulzer.
Mr.. Murphy was told that the gov
ernor declared that he was iespon-
sible because he hadn't allowed the
Tammany senators to confirm John
Mitchell or Commissioner Lynch as
head of the State department Of labor.
"Nonsense!" said Mr.. Murphy with
great empasis.s Il will haze nothing
to say to such a statement as that"

TWO MEN KILLED
ON PENNSY TRACKS
IN WEST HUDSON
One EIectrocnted by Third
Rail, Other Probably Man
gIed by Train.

Although two men were killed with
in few hours on the Pennsylvania
railroad in West Hudson last night
the police of neither Harrison ior
Kearny have as yet been formally
notified of the fatalities by the rail
road officials. The bodies of both VIC
Tins are at Condon's Morgue, Har-
rison.
The first fatality occurred early in
the night, when Constantine Paeli-
ella, % years old, of As Cleveland ave-
nue., Harrison, a railroad employee,
came in contact with the third rail
at the Manhattan Transfer. He was
electrocuted. Instead of notifying the
police the railroad authorities com
municated with DR.. Henry Alters,
deupty county physician. Patrick
j Condor, morgue keeper, was then
notified
Shortly after midnight another call
was received at the morgue from the
railroad to the effect that a man had
been killed some place on the mead
ows. The morgue authorities were
instructed to go to the Hackensack
bridge of the railroad. 1t was ex-
! planned the body would be sent to
that point by train. In one of the
pockets of the second victim was
found a small book which contained
an Identification card.
Body Badly Mangled.
The name, Joseph s. Lelo. 1207South
Vermillion street, Streeter, Ill., ap-
peared on the card. Below the name
and address was written, Majestic
| Hotel, Peoria, ILL.," On a keyring
found in the dead mans pockets ap-
peared the same name and the name
of the same place in Peoria. The
dead mans skull was fractured, both
arms were torn from the sockets. the
right leg was cut off just below the
knee and the chest was battered.
There is some doubt as to whether
this man met his death in Harrison
or Kearny. At the Manhattan trans
fer it was said today they had nc
record of the killing although they
had heard "a man had been killed. :
Inquiries were made at the office
of the train dispatcher at Jersey
City where such matters are reported
The officials of that office declared
they had no record of the killing.
Morgue keeper Condor has wired
to Peoria and will await advices be-
fore he takes any action in the mat
ter of burying the body. The second
| victim appears to have been about
| rs years old He had several gold
teeth The name and address, "Dav-
i'd Ross. 357 Claremont avenue, Jer-
sey City," appeared in a small NOM
orandum book.
How He Fared as to Food.
On another page of the book there
was written Left Peoria, ILL.,, May
90" Following this was an entry of
every town passed through on the
trip Eastward. On a different page
appeared this information, Good
eating at New Orleans. Good eating
at Mobile Nothing doing at Mont
gomery. Good eating at Nashville" F"
Deputy County PhysuNan Alters
will view both bodies this afternoon.
It is not likely he will allow any ac-
ton to be taken in connection with
the second killing until he learns all
of the details There is a possibility
that the Harrison police will take
action along the lines of having the
Pennsylvania railroad report to police
headquarters all accidents and fati-
lities in the future.

Calls Binghamton Tragedy
Worse Than Triangle Fire

BINGHAMToN, N. Y, July 25.--.
Human safety was sacrificed to make
additional space for manufacturing
purposes in the clothing company's
plant in which sixty or more girls
lost their lives, according to the
statement made here today by
James p. Whiskeman, engineering
expert for the Wagner Smith State
Factory Investigating Commission.
A stairway running through the
building, he asserts, was removed
that more room for manufacturing
purposes might be obtained. He adds
that more carelessness has been re-
vealed in this catastrophy than in
the Triangle disaster in New York.

SINKING STEAMER
RACES FOR PORT
AFTER COLLISION
Freighter Reaches Safety as
Stern Settles-Rammed
During Fog.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, July
25.-The freighter Millinocket, from
Stockton, Me-, for New York arrived
here at sunrise today in a sinking
condition. 1t had collided at mid
night during a fog with the Persian,
passenger steamer, bound from
Philadelphia for Boston. A wireless
message received from the Persian
stated that her bow had been DANA
ged.
Boat Slowly sinking.
The Millimocket's flight into Vine
yard Haven was an exciting race
against the water which was rapidly
climbing upward in her hold.
AS she turned East Chop, at the
entrance to the harbor she was we'll
down by the stern, and as she an
chored, her rudder touched bottom.
Her stern also settled, but the bulk
heads in the engine room and for
ward held kept her bow afioat.
The Millinocket rounded Cape Cod
early last evening and soon after
ward ran into a thick bank of fog.
AT iiluniBnlf just pSloio AOh~itiie
Pollock Rip lightship, the Persian
suddenly loomed out of the fog on
the starboard side close aboard.
Water Rushes Into Hold.
Neither vessel had time to stop or
to veer. The Persian was heading
diagonally toward the Millinocket, sc
that the blow was a glancing one.
The Millinocket was struck on the
starboard side, aft of amidships and
her plating was passing the water
line.
The sea-line rushed into the hole
and her pumps were started at once
The Persian in the meantime was
lost to sight in the fog.
The Millinoclket proceeded for port
under full steam, with all her pumps
going, but the water in her after-hold
gained steadily.
BOSTON, July 25-Her stem twist
ed and her forepeak full of water, the
steamer Persian reached here just be-
fore noon today. In a dense fog of
Pollock Rip early this morning the
vessel was in collision with the
freighter Millinocket. No one was in
jured, but the impact awakened the
fifty-one passengers of the Persian
and caused considerable excitement on
board
The steamship Howard, bound from
Baltimore for Boston, came up and
conveyed the Persian to port. Wher
the Persian steamed slowly up the
harbor she was down by the head, heI
forward compartments being partially
filled with water. The steam pumps
were in operation and kept the vesse
afloat on the way across the bay.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Henry
Lane Wilson. American ambassador
to Mexico. returned to the United
tates today prepared to place before
President Wilson and the State de-
partment his suggestions regarding
