TO WALK OUT AT ZOO A. M.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Unless the
railroads or the unions promise con-
cessions President Wilson will go be-
fore Congress and propose legislation
designed to avert the impending gen
eral strike, scheduled to go into eff
feet next Monday
Mr.. Wilson said last night that ne
saw little hope of effecting a settle
ment by negotiation, and he had de
cided to ask the aid of Congress. He
was engaged last night in writing the
address he intends to deliver to the
joint session of the Senate and House
setting forth his fruitlesa efforts to
settle the controversy, and proposing
legislation not only to avert the i'm
pending strike if possible, but to min
lmize such menace to the public weI-
fare in the future.
The President also contemplates
issuing an address to the American
people containing an appeal to the
interruption of transportation which
would cause untold suffering through
out the country
According to instructions issued by
the unions the operation of all
trains on 225 railroads will be sus-
pended next Monday at a. M, Wash
ington time.
The President called the brother
hood heads to the White House and
appealed to them to suspend the in
structions or at least to postpone the
date of the walkout. The brotherhood
presidents refused to accede to the re-
quest
President Wilson also presented to
the union leaders a proposal made to
him by the railroad executives. This
was a suggestion of arbitration of all
the issues in a slightly different form
from that embodied in the formal an
swer of the executives rejecting the
Presidents compromise plan. The
brotherhood presidents said they
could not accept the proposition in
asmuch as the 600 district chairmen
authorized to pass on such questions
had gone home.
The President thereupon telephoned
the executives that the unions had
refused to make any concessions.
The President, who drove to the
capitol to confer with the Democratic
leaders, proposed the following legis-
lation:
Esta ablishment of the eight-hour day
for all employees of interstate rail-
roads.
Addition of two members to the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
division of the body into groups with
the object of expediting it's work, par
ticularly the determination of rate
advances.
Creation of a permanent commits
sion to which it would be obligatory
for the carriers and their employees
to submit all disputes.
Provision enjoining strikes and
lockouts pending the decision of the
commission and for sixty days there
after.
The advisability of empowering the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
consider wages as one of the elements
in the fixing of railroad rates also
was discussed.
Members of Congress, it is stated
say that legislation cannot now be
passed in time to avert tie-up.

Bip Drop in Wheat Prices.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Wheat prices
crashed down Monday 9asc to 11Ac a
bushel and closed excited at the low
est point, with September at $1.40h
to $1.4OA and December at $143%
to SLABS. The action of Rumania in
taking the field against the Austro-
German armies formed the chief rea,
son of the market collapse, but the
depressing outlook regarding the
threatened strike of 100000 American
railway employees was undoubtedly 2
factor. Corn finished 1Ac to 2%c
down, and oats off 2Ac to 2%c.

ScaIded To Death.

A dreadful accident happened last Mon
day TO the family of Captain Samuel
Spong. of canal boat No IA on the Chesa-
peake & Ohio canal. Captain Spong, who
lives in Sharpsburg, had arrived with his
loaded boat at Georgetown about five
O'Clock Monday morning and tied up
along the sea wall OF the Capital Traction
power-house at the foot of v Wisconsin
avenue. His wifeand three children were
asleep in the cabin and he was attending
to his duties about the boat.
The window of the cabin was open and
within four or tive feet of a six-inch
steam exhaust pipe coming underground
from the power-house and leading into
the river. About 6 O'Clock steam was
turned into the pipe TO blow off one OF
the boilers. The high pressure OF the
steam in the pipe caused flange on the
pipe, where it turned downward into the
water, TO blow off. The escaping steam
went directly into the cabin OF the boat.
The sleeping occupants had no time 10
escape, and were awakened by the scald-
ing steam and water blowing over them.
The cries OF the mother and children at
tracted the father, who was on another
part of the boat. When he went 10 their
assistance he was also badly scalded.
An employe OF the power-house heard
the cries OF the boat occupants, and he
called another employe TO shut off the
steam.
The mother and children were rushed
10 Emergency Hospital. There it was
found the children were burned over their
entire bodies. Mrs. Spong was suffering
from shock. After she arrived at the in
stitution her condition became worse.
Capt. Spong went TO the hospital later.
Sarah Spong, aged six years, died about
four hours after the accident, and John,
aged thirteen, died about one o'clock the
same afternoon. Willet, aged eleven
years, expired later in the evening.
The police at once began an inveStiga-
ton TO fix the responsibility for the &C
cident, and several OF the employees o
the power-house were placed under ar
rest.
The news OF the tragedy caused SEN
sation in Sharpsburg, where Captain
Spong and his family have been well
known. The bodies OF the children were
brought there yesterday for burial, the
funeral taking place this morning at 10
O'Clock. A very large crowd attended
the service, and much sympathy was
expressed for the bereaved parents. Mrs.
Spong is still in the hospital in Washing
ton, but if is thought that she can be
brought TO her home in Sharpsburg in
about week. Mr.. and Mrs. Spong hav e
three surviving children.
