 The announcement Of the resrit of this vote has almost excited a pa nic in the city. The strike will ,m. occasionally paralyse the industry in Seattle and the same condition already prevails in Portland and San Francisco with very little sign of a settlement.
 It was hoped that in view of the appeal of President Wilson that the strike would not be called, but

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25.- The national security league and other kindred organizations, some of them not without suspicion of being under the influence of muni- tionists, have launched a campaign to oust Senator Lafollette from the Senate.
 These bodies propose to present resolutions to Congress looking to that end and they nope to start an agitation which will result in La toilette being removed.

College Preparatory
 Students to Receive
 An Intensive Training

The prospectus of the next year school course in Bridgeport's public educational institutions was discussed last night at the meeting of the school board. In general, a plan was shown and approved, that will greatly facilf- tate the work of pupils desiring to do advance work in college, and parti- cularly for the young men of the city every means will be provided to give them the desired courses of prepara- ton in less than the regular time. The purpose of the movemnt is to replace quickly in the colleges for technical and professional training, those men who have given up their work and have entered the military service. The work will be taken up by Superintendent Slawson as soon as he returns from vacation granted him last night by the board. This will be about August 1.
 General school matters were re- ported last night to the board by Supt. Slawson. These included a volume of statistics showing enroll mepts, registrations and attendance record for the year and the whole made it apparent that the schools of the city are growing in proportion to the industry and population of the city. Reports on new building work and the building repairs under way were made,

WILLARD CLAIMS
 HE'LL FIGHT BUT NOT IN THE ARMY

s New York, July 10.-Perhaps it Is because he cant's sleep, but at any rate Jess Willard, the eminent pacihst, is bestirring himself again and mak- ing noises like a man waking from a sound sleep. Yesterday word came from Pittsburgh that Jess, old dear. had issued statement to the effect that he is willing to fight any real con- tender before quitting the ring for good, and will dispose of Fred Fulton or any other person who feels messy if the public wishes.
 This may be true, but the bitter thought comes back to us that only a few weeks ago Jess flunked out of his match with the Kaiser, after articles were practically signed. Wilhelm II is. only a light heavyweight and would have to use a hand grenade to reach the heavyweight champions jaw, but he is still in the ring and meeting all corners
 We all rem enber how Jess went to Washington with half a dozen auto- matic guns sticking out of his leggings and announced his willingness to enlist and end the war by slipping over a short right hook to Wifhelm's chin, But tlre army roster does not yet con- tain the name of Jess Willard.

New York, July 1e-Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis light. heavyweight, who left this city several months ago after plans had been made for a 1O- round bout between him and the late Les Darcey, will again be seen in action in a metropolitan ring this evening at the Broadway S. c. of Brooklyn, where the Indianapolis boxer is scheduled to go against Jack Clifford of Brooklyn in the main TO- round exhibition.

CHANGE IN YANKEE LINEUP CAUSE OF
 BEATING BROWNS

St. Louis. July 1e.-Afeer failing in IF consecutive games to score a. vic- tory over the niae-fnning route, the Yankees put one over yesterday after noon in the third game Of their series with the Brewas. Fine pitching by Allen Russell stellar fielding by his mates, and, timely hits by Pipp and Hendryx carried Denovan's team to success, by 2 to 1.
 Donovan rearEaAged his lineup and shook up his batting order previous to the game. Fritz Maisel, wiao had not missed an inning of any eEanap pionship game played this seasea by the Tanks up to yesterday, suffered the fate of all sigart hftters and was benched. Ba'u- man, who recently displaced Magee in tane o41tffe4d, was moved in to second base and Angel Aragon sent to the left HeAa patrol. Elmer Miller was moved over to right and Tim Hendryx went to center

League in the matter of games won Following Alexander, his other close competitors are Jim Vaughn and F'erd Schupp with If victories apiece and Eppa Rixey with 10.
 Just now the Phi1lies are going very badly. This slump will cut strongly into t1e chances of both Alexander and Rixey. On the other hand, Schupp is not working nearly so often as either Toney or Alexander. Ferdie. in the first place. is a much smaller man and cannot stand the physical strain Of his more robust brethren.
 Then, again, both the Cubs and Phfflies travelled much more rapidly during the early days of the race than did the Reds. thereby giving Alexan- der. Rixey and Vaughn chances to get a lead on Toney. If Matty suc- ceeds in keeping his bunch well up in the first division Toney will wage a hot fight for top honors.
