Antwerp. oct. THE mystery OF the
disappearance of Dr. Rudolf Diesel. the
German inventor. while on his way from
Germany 20 England was still further
dec pcned to-day by the assertion OF
member OF the crew Of the 'cross-Chan-
mel steamer Dresden, who said that DR..
Diesel went on board the steamer at 90
o clock in the evening of September ~
but on learning that the vessel was not
TO start until 7:3o went ashore and was
not seen again.
The sailor declared he was convinced
that DR. Diesel did not cross the Channel
since the steward did not enter his name
on the cabin list
London, Oct 2.-The strange statement
made by sailor OF the 'cross-Channel
steamer Dresden. that Or. Rudolf Diesel

EMPLOYERS OBDURATE
IN COTTON DISPUTE
Lancashire Spinners and Weav-
ers Face a Lockout Affect
ing $4,000 Workers.
by Gable to The Tribune. J

London, oct. 3-There was no change
yesterday in the serious position Of az
fairs in the Lancashire cotton trade.
The determined attitude OF the employ
ers is again emphasized in a statement
made by Sir Charles NIAGARA. president
of the Federation Of Master Cotton
Spinners' Associations. who declares
that while the masters are the last
people 10 desire a lockout. they will
close their mills IL the men at Bolton
do not return 10 work. Mr.. NIAGARA as
serts that this is the gravest matter
that has arisen for many years and
that he has never seen the members Of
the federation so determined.
The effect of the lockout at the pres
ont time will be TO throw out of en-
ployment 100000 workers in the mills
directly affected. while 6J0.OOO in the
weaving branches Of the trade will be
rendered idle when the supplies Of yarn
are exhausted.
The suggestion made by Mr. NIAGARA
that the trouble at the Beehive mill at
Bolton is due 20 the sinister influence
Of syndicalism is repudiated by the
president Of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion Of Operative Cotton Spinners, who
maintains that trade unionism alone
has Influenced the men and that the
situation is very largely due to the fail
ure of a number of the employers fed
Grafton 10 carry out previous agree
ments with the men in a proper spirit.
London, Oct. Ben Tillett, secretary
OF the Dock, Wharf. Riverside and Cen
eral Workers Union of Great Britain ad-
dressing the International Syndicalst
Congress TODAY, said that he thanked Sir
Edward Carson. the Ulster Unionist lead
Ell. for giving the working class a lead.
When the latter had courage enough 10
follow his example Tillett declared, they
were going to fight the government.
James Larhin. one Of the leaders In the
Dublin strike. telegraphed from that city
to-day: II appeal 10 all comrades 70 send
ammunition and bring fighters here. The
masters admit they are on Their mar
row bones.

The violence of the II 20 vibration

The pen off the paper Of the seismo-

The consensus of opinion here is that
the duration OF the shock Was from
twenty TO twenty-five seconds. This,
however, is an unofficial opinion.
The instruments at the observatory
showed that the common point Of origin
OF the shocks was somewhere to the
north Of Colon in the Caribbean Sea.
An early investigation Of the condi-

of last night was the most serious OF
all. In September. 1904. severe shock
destroyed several buildings in the west
ern part Of the republic. Other move
ments were recorded in 1909. 1910 and

The Colon police reports indicate that
no damage was caused 10 any build
ings or property anywhere within the
city. but they state that two coolies
IN their anxiety to leave a house
jumped from a balcony. one Of them
being slightly injured.
The frame houses OF Colon rocked
with each motion Of the earthquake
and the people hearing the timoers

clad. Many camped out in the city

The only damage TO buildings In the
City Of Panama was the shaking down
Of some Of the plaster interiors Of the
famous fat-arched Santo Domingo
Church.
The .Hcial statement issued this af-
