LEADING FRENCHMEN
FEAR NATIONS EXTINCTION

Rotterdam, Aug. 16.-The Paris cor
respondent of the "Maasbode" writes:
The precious blood of the manhood
of France flows in streams necessarily
and the sacrifices in lives are stagger-
ing. The small territory around Yer
dun Is the grave of hundreds of thou
sands of heroic French soldiers.
France is less able than any other
nation to bear these continuous fear
full losses, because the population of
the republic steadily decreases even in
normal times. One need not be a sta
tician to understand that the killing
and manning of innumerable men de
stroys the vitality of the French. The
losses of the other belligerent coun-
tries will be replaced sooner or later
by the large number of births, but in
France this cannot be expected. All

ILLMO OFFICIAL
and MERCHANTIN
FIGHT ON STREET
Harry Dammerman, City En-
gineer, DiseolOrs ]. III.
Sharp's Optics in Bout.
MERCHANT SHOOTS
AND is ARRESTED
RumPus Started When Merchant
Used New Street For His
Private Dump.

A rumpus over garbage yesterday
precipitated a fight between Harry
Zimmerman of this city, who is the
city engineer of limo, and james d.
Sharp, one of the leading merchants
in that city. The fight occurred in
front of Mr.. Sharp'S store in limo.
After the fight, warrant, charging
Sharp with shooting at Zimmerman,
was issued against the merchant. He
was released on bond, and the case is
set for trial next Wednesday.
The combat, which was witnessed by
a large crowd, began shortly after
Zimmerman had ordered Sharp to dis
continue dumping rubbish and garbage
on a new street which is being built
near the Sharp store. The street,
which has never been completed, has
been closed for almost a year.
Sharp, according to Zimmerman,
has been dumping debris on a portion
Of the street. Zimmerman yesterday
informed Sharp that the street would
have to be taken up and that he would
not permit Sharp to continue his prac-
tice. According to spectators, Sharp
said the street was only suitable for a
dump, and Zimmerman struck the
mel chant in the left eye.
The blow staggered him, but he re-
cuperated quickly and mixed it with
the city engineer. Dammerman pun
meled the merchant for a few mo-
ments and then landed right hook on
the right eye, which virtually closed
the merchants second optic.
Sharp fled into his store, where he
obtained a shotgun, which he discharg-
ed three times. Several spectators say
he fired at Zimmerman, but as the
shooting occurred inside the store,
Zimmerman was not in danger.

1uOSc NHO WIlHSSSSu IiG lSHe say
Sharp threatened Zimmerman, and
the latter applied for j warrant
against the merchant. He was arrest
ed, but released on bond.
Sharp is well-known in Scott County
and is considered wealthy. Young
Zimmerman is a resident of Cape Cir
ardeau, and for a long time was as
sistant to Chris Silver, city engineer
Of the Cape.
He has been overseeing the street
in limo, and it was while
he was making an inspection of the

The street has been Uttered by
Sharp, Zimmerman says, and as a
portion of the macadam will have 20 be
removed in order to make the street

for dump.

President Wants Railroads
to Grant Request and
Settle Rumpus.
TRAINMEN CONFIDENT
OF AVOIDING STRIKE
Men Place Their Case in Presi-
dents Hands-TO Con-
fer Again.
Special Dispatch to The Tribune.

CICtiti DfSpdlCn 10 l ne Tribune.
Washington, Aug. 15.-Lcadcrs of
the four railroad unions are in COM
pletc control Of the nationwide strike
negotiations tenight, and are waiting
for President Wilson TO bring the rail
roads to his and the unions way Of
thinking.
The union leaders expressed salts
faction tonight that the managers were
holding out on their contention rather
than to have it said that they had been
whipped into line by the President.
The situation is deadlocked tonight.
but as the managers are to confer
with the President tomorrow morning.
it is believed that the hitch is only
temporary. The union leaders were
notified by President Wilson to call ut
the White House at 3 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon, if he did not send for
them sooner.
The President is reported to be
standing firm for an eight-hOur day.
The labor leaders denied cmphatically
tonight that they have offered to ar
bitrate, even the point of time and
half for overtime. 1t was learned from
an authoritative source that the man
ayers do not consent to agree to the
Presidents suggestions. J. P. Morgan
and the National City Bank will be
pressed into service by President vii
son to compel the railroads to prevent
the strike.
The managers have been reported
to be willing to arbitrate the eight
hour question. but they refused to
make this admission officially tonight.
President Wilson, after his conferences
tonight, issued the following state
ment: There is no change. There is
an earnest effort being made to work
out 4 settlement"
1t was learned shortly before mid
night tonight that the managers of the
railroads decided at a late meeting
neither to reject nor accept any prop
oSition at this time They are cndcav-
oring to force the unions to make the
issue. 1t is believed in some quarter;
that direct settlement will be reach
ed without arbitration, although both
sides pretend to be determined to hold
out for their contentious.
President Wilson spent virtually the
whole day with the two factions. He
had taken a decided stand in favov OF
the men, and in this respect has an
tagonized the managers, who are now
that they have taken their
rase before an unfair referee.
The President, however. is especially
pleased with the attitude of the unions
and the confidence they have imposed
IN him. They have virtually placed
their case in his hands for disposition.
It is unofficially said that the men
nave informed him Just how far they
would be willing to go, and they will
;tand behind any agreement that he
makes for them with the railroad
This has given him goal to work for,
md it makes a settlement seem to be
rOre certain.
Ii the negotiations do not result in
N agreement today, they will be pro-
Onged. There was not disposition
made today to end them.

HERBERT LITTLE
BADLY CUT BY
ABROTHER'SAX
Blade Buries Self i'm Arch of
Right Foot as 1t Glanced
From Tree.
REFUSES TO SUMMON
DOCTOR; ON VACATION
Says Other wounds Got Well so
This win Toe-May
Lose Foot.

While Herbert Little and his young
.er brother, William Little, were at
work yesterday afternoon chopping
down a large tree on the drainage
ditch right of way south of town, a
blow from the latter's ak glanced from
the tree trunk and imbedded the blade
lin the arch of the older mans right
foot.
Although no physician or surgeon
had been called in to look at the wound
last night, it was believed from the
character of the injury that it may
result in the amputation of the mans
foot Little refused to have a doctor
summoned, saying that he had had
other injuries and always had surviv-
ed, so that he guessed he would get
over his present wound.
After Little had been struck and the
ak blade had been withdrawn from his
foot, he was carried by his father,
George Little and three other work
men to the road where he was loaded
into rough lumber wagon and the
team galloped to his home at $40 South
Frederick street, where the young
mans mother and he himself treated
the wound with home remedies.
Little is an employee at the shoe fac
tory and for the last few days he has
been having a vacation. Yesterday he
decided to accompany his father and
younger brother who is but Is years
old, to the drainage right Of way about
four and a half miles south of the
Cape to work with them in the clear
ing.
Little is 221 years old He formerly
worked with his father, who is cloar-
ing contractor, and six years ago while
cutting wood he struck one of his legs
with an ak in such a manner that he
slit his entire leg open.
Yesterday afternoon he and his
brother worked together. He chopped
right handed and his younger brother
chopped the opposite shift. They had
finished work on one large tree and
we're moving to another.
Herbert Little got to the tree first
and started the cut with a few blows of
his AK. He then waited at the side of
the tree for his brother to come up and
as he stood there, the younger man
stepped to the tree.
He directed a blow at the cut started
Oy Herbert. The AK struck on tbs
EDGE of the cut and glanced to the old
n mans foot.
The wound was made directly across
he arch of the foot and the AK sunk
o the bones of the foot. 1t was i'm
possible to tell if the bones had been
INJURED without an expert examination.
The two boys were working about
half mile from the road, and Their
ries attracted the attention of Others
;orking nearby.
Last night Little said that unless
lis foot seems improved to him in the |
norning, he will summon a physician.
lie said that he frequently had sus-
aimed small ak wounds.
