II not for the fact that the American
public responds at least once to the

In.
seile's Gaby's business astuteness, a re-
cent transaction with her booking
agent is worthy of record. Her con-
tract with the Shuberts was about to
expire, when the latter proposed re-
newal for a number of weeks, for the
purpose OF presenting her in "The Belle
Of Bond Street" Another important
factor In the production was to be Mr..
and Mrs Vernon Castle, and the Shu-
berts relied quite as much upon their
drawing power as they did upon
Gaby's.
At the 18th hour, the Castles changed
their plans, and the production Of "The
Belle OF Bond Street" seemed likely to-
be abandoned. With the suspicious
.
Mademoiselle Deslys began to worry
over the fuifillment OF her contract.
She did not mean TO release the Shu-
berts simply because their plans had
gone astray. In search of advice she
telegraphed her Representative in the
III. b. Marinelli office In New York to
come to Boston and confer with her.
The agent, who merely looked after
her bookings was out OF the city at
the time and did not respond and Gaby
submitted her contract to an attorney
The latter advised her that It was valid
and operative and charged her 500 for
the consultation. Do you think that
Gaby personally stood this fee? Mon
dieu, non! Also, not on your Lily.
At the regular settlement between
her and her agent for the latter's com
missions on her salary, according to
agreement, Mademoiselle Deslys calm
ly deducted 500 from his fees, arguing
that as her agent he was required to
advise her in all business matters, and
that. since he was not available, he
should reimburse her for the amount
expended.

A Janansse SIGHT.
From the ChrIstian Herald.


It was toward evening when a sloven-
ly looking fellow with a travelling res
taurant landed on the street corner,
rang a little bell and announced to all
that the evening repast was now in
readiness. Many of the poor people
nowadays find 1t hard to buy a morsel
of rice or even barley, and as last
resort turn to this "macaroni' restaur-
ant, where they are able to get meal
for one or two cents. / wondered If
this man got his supply from the man
ufacturer whom l saw kneading the
dought on q staw mat with his feet
not great distance away.
Dipping ball after ball of this mac
aroni'' into boiling water, and again
in succession into separate bowls. the
vendor adds a springling of cheap SOW
and green onion cuttings and sticking
into them the crudest kind of chop
sticks, presents them to his miscella-
neous crowd Of customers. Sturdy
coolies leave their cart shafts. haggard
women release loads of boxes and bun
dies from their backs, precious children
sorely In need Of handkerchiefs and
staggering under the heavy load of an
often unwearied younger brother or sis
ter, aged from two weeks to three or
four years--all hollow chested on ac-
count of excessive toll and their con-
slant STOPPING posture, with great rap
idity bolt down this seething mess.

BUTTE MINERS TO
FORM OWN UNION

Butte. Mont. June 23.-With Presi-
dent Charles III. Meyer, of the Western
Federation of Miners, insisting that his
plan of CANCELLATION, which will be AN
nounced tomorrow, at a meeting of the
old Butte Miners union, as the only
preparations are going rapidly forward
today for the permanent organization
Of the Butte Mine Workers union
launched yesterday by the cessionists
from the Western Federation.
Leaders of the new organization say
that President Meyer will be brought to
realization that the federation has
lost practically all support among To-
cal miners.
Dissatisfaction over the management
of the affairs Of the old union and a
desire to be freed from the necessity
Of paying heavy assessments to the
Western Federation of Miners for the
support OF strikers, led to the breach
which resulted, yesterday, in the de-
termination of the insurgents to OPP
crate as an independent, unaffiliated
union.
President Muckie' McDonalG's state
ment that the new union would have
nothing to do with the Industrial Work
ers of the World organization, has
business interests here. Mcdonald
signs his name Muckie' to union docu-
ments
Meyer expects to remain here a week
or 10 days. He will leave about July
for L'Anse, Mich, where he is to stand
trial on charges arising out Of the Mich
igan copper strike last winter.
Meyer ls Bitter.
In a statement surveying the stu
alton Meyer declared the leaders of the
new union had not acted in good faith;
that the workers in Butte's mines had
been delivered over to the Industrial
Workers Of the World and There are
hundreds-yes, thousands - of ire
sponsible men headed for Butte at this
instant. What are they coming for?"
he asked.
"They have no jobs" Meyer said.
for there are more men in Butte now
than are places for in the mines. The
public can take warning as to their
true mission"
Meyer also criticised Mayor Duncan.
socialist, for failing to appear at the
mass meeting yesterday to advise
against formation of the new union be-
fore Meyers Cancellation plan could he
submitted to the men.
Fortified with the backing of the
Western Federation and all interna-
ttonal unions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor together with $4,000 in
cash N the bank and $4,000 more in
PtopSIty III lHis ana OIner cities, the
old miners union will continue it's
business here, according to Meyer. He
indicated that the federation will at
tempt to hold its contracts with the
mining companies and would furnish
federation men to fill all places in the
mines.
Action to this end, he said, would be
taken If the men who have seeded
fail to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to return to the federation.
Mcdonald said that federation men,
bers in Michigan and Utah were on the
point of seeding. and had agreed to

SQUARE DEAL ALL HE ....
WANTS, SAYS PRESIDENT

Washington, June 23.--Discussing the
Fo-called psychological business der
preston with callers today, President
Wilson declared he had no quarrel
with any persons or corporations who
desired to express either to him or to
congress their opinions on business con-
ditions and antitrust legislation, but
he commended that systematic circula-
ton Of form letters and kilograms pro-
testing against new legislation was
certainly open to criticism"
The president said all he wanted was
square deal and that everything
should be open and above board. Tele-
grams and letters sent broadcast to be
signed and forwarded to government
officials constituted an artificial cam
paign, he believed. G#

SHIP SAVED BY ECHO
FROM GIANT ICEBERG
Mass Of Ice Sends Back Sound
of Fog Horn, Giving
Captain Warning.

New York. June 23.-Captain Weeks.
OF the British freighter, Isle Of Null.
which has just arrived in port from
Libson told today how an echo saved
his ship from collision with an iceberg.
Just after midnight June 16, In foggy
weather off the New Foundland banks,
Captain Weeks sounded the usual five
seconds blast on the fog horn and
thought he heard another steamer re-
ply. He stopped his ship and after
waiting a minute he blew again. This
time he caught a signal apparently
very close. ...#
Realizing that II must be either the
whistle Of another steamer he heard
or the echo OF his own blast thrown
back by big iceberg close by, Captain
Weeks sounded six alternate long and
short blasts which were returned Just
as he gave them. That decided him to
steer at once to the southwark to avoid
hitting a big berg.
