CITY IS LITTLE AFFECTED
Up to Noon Company Claim
ed Only 1000 Had Quit
Its Service

New York Sept. IA strike was in
augurated in the subway, elevated
lines and several surface systems of
the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. to-
day, but up to noon the city appeared
only slightly affected.
Union leaders, who demand the
abrogation by the company Of con-
tracts binding employees not to ask
wage increases for two years, claimed
5000 men walked out. Traction Off
cials asserted not over 1000 had quit.
Disorders marked the first few hours
of the strike. Several instances of
elevated trains being bombarded with
stones and bottles, thrown from rooms
were reported to the police today.
Reserves rushed to the scene of the
disorder, entered the buildings and
chased from the roofs gangs of men
said to have been carrying missiles.
The Interborough reported express
and local trains running on normal
schedule on both subways and elevat-
ed lines, with but few changes from
the regular crews. If the carmen car
carry out their threats and halt sur
face as we'll as subway and elevated
traffic, New York faces the biggest
strike in its history.

Friends Of John Burke, fearing that
the action of the committee in ignor-

prove disastrous to Burke's senatorial

Many Democrats last night express

If the foregoing dispatch from Berlin regarding
the capture of the fortress of Turtukai is true the
Bulgarians and Germans are seriously threatening
Bucharest, the capital of Rumania. The capture of
Turtuka would be master stroke on the part of the
Germans.
This fortress is on the Danube river only 40 miles
southeast of Bucharest and railroad line to the cap

Seven cases of infantile paralysis,

homes quarantined.
Believing in the theory that IAN
ounce Of prevention is better than a
pound of cure" DR.. Verne is taking all
possible precaution to stop the fur
ther spreading of the disease. He
stated today that so far only two OF
the cases, the 10-year- boy at
Glyndon and the 19-year- old boy at
Dilworth, had reached a very serious
stage but that the other cases might
show serious developments within a
short time.
1t is the opinion Of DR.. Verne that
the disease is rapidly spreading
throughout the country and although
only one previous case has been re-
ported in the county, that being a
death at Georgetown. there may be
other cases developing in this Sec
ton before long.
