GENERAL STRIKE NOW
 DEEMED IMPROBABLE
Ferry Boat Men Quit Action Not Related to Garments Troubles-Sixteen Hurt by Streetcar Collision.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Ferry boats of the New York Central Railroad Company. plying between Manhattan and New Jersey were tied up during the rush hours late today by strike of 150 employees on the boats. The i latest labor difficulty in this city re- | suited from the mems demand for shorter hours and higher pay. The strike has no connection. it is said, with the traction situation. l Thousands of commuters gathered at the Manhattan Ferry stations of the company, the crowds overflowing the ferry houses into the streets, where a heavy rain was falling. Not until the police reserves were called out did the commuters abandon their demand for boats. They left the city for their home in New Jersey over roundabouts routes.
 Strike Talk lessens
 Probability of general sympathet- ic strike in aid of the employees who quit their places on September 6 les sened tonight with the announcement that a local brewery workers union, whose 900 members struck in response to the call of the conference of labor leaders. had voted to return to work. Officials of the union issued state ment in which it was said develop ments proved that organized labor twill not act in concert in behalf of the carmen"
 Organization of subway and eleyat- ed road motormen will continue. ac- cording to the statement made today by l.. G. Griffith, third assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, in charge of the work in this city
 The Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees today took steps to distribute strike benefits among the striking car men, it was announced by James H. Fahey, general counsel of the association.
 IS Injured
 Sixteen persons were injured. one seriously, in rear end collision be- tween two surface cars in the Bronx this afternoon. One car was standing still when the other. said to have been operated by strike breakers, crashed into it. The motorman of the rear car jumped from his post, it is said. and disappeared.
 Marked improvement in surface car traffic was reported today.

NEGROES BY OKLAHOMA
 CHURCH
Eloquent Pleas of Methodist Pastor Win for Moment,
 But Mob Later Finishes Fiendish Act.
(By Review Leased Wire. ]

NOWATA, Okla, Sept. 29. - Two negroes, accused of being implicated in the killing of Deputy Sheriff James Gibson, during a jail delivery here to- day, were taken from jail by mob tonight and lynched in front of the court house.
 It was only few minutes after the negroes had gained their freedom that a mob bent on vengeance was in close pursuit. Two of the negroes took refuge in a house in the out skirts of Notwata, where they were surrounded and re-arrested. The third negro apparently made good his escape. One of the re-arrested ne groes, John Foreman, alleged to have been the man who killed Gibson. was wounded when taken into custody and was not molested.
 But the unwounded negro was seiz- ed by the mob, which had grown to large proportions and parade began through the principal streets with the negro screaming for mercy. When the mob reached the Methodist church a large tree with outspreading branch es offered the opportunity which the rope around the negro's neck suggest ed.
 Lets lynch the nigger on holy ground" shouted some one in the crowd. The prisoner was swung clear of the ground and was being choked to death when Mir. Hi Pearce appear ed. Attracted from his study in the parsonage by the negro's screams, he rushed from the house into the midst of the crowd and began his pleading for the doomed mans life. The mob paused in it's work to hear what the minister had to say.
 Men, I beseech you in the name of God not to desecrate this holy ground" pleaded Mir. Pierce, do not stain the name of our city by going into this terrible affair"
 With voice quivering with emotion and earnestness he demanded that the law be allowed to take its course. Five minutes the pastor spoke along these lines, until one of the mob lead CTS, turning to his fellows. said:
 Men, MT. Pierce is right. Take the nigger back to jail and let the law take its course"
 The mob, sobered by the impassion- ed words of the pastor, and the as- sumption of leadership taken by one

Germans ResumeAct ofAbusing America
 For Neutrality
(By Review Leased Wire)

BERLIN, Sept 29.-Immediately on the heels of the utterances of the i'm perial chancellor in the Reichstag concerning the submarine campaign. the afternoon newspapers generally print strong criticism of the netrality of the United States based on the news of the death of the American aviator Kiffin Rockwell and the pres ence of other American aviators on the western front.
 They connect this evidence of Am erican sympathy for the entente al- lies, and the supplying of war muni- tions by firms in the United States as an indication of the futility of con sessions to the American standpoint with regard to submarines. They de- clare that these facts show how Am erican respect for neutrality is van ishing and how America Is misusing the present form of submarine war fare to cover the participation of Am erican concerns in the war on the side of the entente allies.

RIFLE TEAM IF b|SbEE MAY
 GET TRIP
Any Twelve Men Shooting 90 on Range Tomorrow, May Be Sent to National Shoot in Florida October II.

Quick action by the Bisbee rifle clubs has brought a favorable reply from Adjutant General Harris stating he will recommend a Bisbee team of 12 men to represent Arizona at the National shoot in Florida next month, upon one provision. That is, that at least twelve men shoot an average of 90 over the different ranges.
 R. 4. Clampitt, to whom the ad' jutant general gave these assurances yesterday, announced the team will be selected from those shooting on the range Sunday, tomorrow. This is necessary, as the time is short and is in accordance with General Harris suggestions.
 Twenty shots must be fired at rapid fire at 200 yards, twenty slow fire each at 500 and 1000 yards. The firing must average ninety of a pos sible 100. The range will be open all day tomorrow, and all are urged to try for the team. Springfields will be used in the Florida meet, which opens October Il, and lasts about fifteen days.
 Clampitt advises all to bring their lunch, as the shooting will be an all day affair.

BERLIN. Sept 29.-The speech of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. the impe- rial chancellor. in the Reichstag. met with a mixed reception in the news papers. the feeling being variously expressed that he placed such re- straint On himself that his utterances lacked defniteness.
