trance of Rumania into the European
conflict indirectly claimed one victim
in this country yesterday afternoon
when Charles Hill, SO years old, a
wealthy miller, set fire to his home in
Louisville and then shot himself
through the forehead with a 32-caliber
revolver. Hill, II is alleged. lost heavily
when wheat sold off on the Chicago
market.
Neighbors rushed to the home when
they heard the shot. They found Hill's
body lying across the threshold with the
revolver clutched in his hand; life was
extinct. Dragging the body outside
they entered the home and attempt
ed to save the furniture. The carpets
had been soaked with kerosene before
Hill set the house on fire and they

Supposed Burglars Are
Really Plainclothesmen

Detectives and plain clothes men on
the police force who have been work
ing on Allison Hill in an effort to
catch the burglars who made a raid
in that section have been giving the
residents in the neighborhood quite a
scare.
The coppers have been mistaken for
robbers by the people in the vicinity of
Regina and Seventeenth streets and
reports have been received at the police
station that two white men and a col
ored man, seen frequently early in the
morning, are probably the ones who
have been causing the trouble for the
police.
The two white men and the colored
man were plain clothes men working
in the district.

! Committee also considered a law
passed by Congress in 1852 authoriz-
ing the President to take possession of
railroad and telegraph lines when in
his Judgment public safety might re-
quire it. Senators remarked it was an
interesting statue in the face of the
existing emergency. The statue pass
ed in the early part of the Civil War
was designed to be in force only as
long as necessary to meet war condi-
tions.
President Wilson still hoped the
brotherhood leaders now in Wash
ington would find means of resembling
the strike order which they maintain
has gone beyond their Jurisdiction.
There was no unanimity of opinion
among them as to whether the sug-
gested measure to forbid a strike
pending investigation by a public
commission, If passed and made ef-
fective before next Monday, could ap-
ply validly to the present situation.
Railway executives believed, however,
that the legislation advocated would
force a suspension of action, possibly
only by the pressure of public opinion.
Railroads Placing Embargoes
While government machinery was
humming to-day with strike plans
there poured from all sections of the
country reports that railroads were
declaring embargoes on perishable
stuff, refusing to accept freight with
guarantees of prompt delivery and
warning against passenger travel ex-
tending past z a. m. Monday, the hour
set for the strike. These reports gave
hint of the rigors which might be
expected from a general strike.
As a sequel to the conference in
Speaker Clark's office at the Capitol
last night between the President and
Congressional leaders of both parties,
these leaders planned another meet
ing for early to-day to map out a
course. Arrangements also were made
for meeting of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, for it was in
the upper House that strike legislation
was to be threshed out first

Restrain Conductors
The first legal phase of the situation
developed with the temporary injunc-
tion issued by a local court in Ne
braska restraining the conductors
from calling or enforcing a strike on
the Union Pacific. This brought up
for the first time the effect of the
much discussed Clayton anti-injunc-
tion act passed by Congress at the
behest of labor. The brotherhood
leaders unreservedly expressed the
opinion that t he injunction was in
contravention of the law and could not
stand. There were intimations that
similar intunctions might be sued out
in different parts of the country
where the sentiment of the men is
known to be against the strike.
VIII Tie Passenger Traffic
With notices of freight embargoes
and prospective delays to passenger
traffic pouring in from all parts of
the country, Chairman Howard Elliott
of the New Haven, issued a statement
on behalf of the railway executives
pointing out that passenger train serv-
ice as well as freight will be tied up.
While every effort was being made to
prevent the strike both sides continued
to make preparations to meet 1t.
