A monster snake was killed
Sunday afternoon when Robert T..
Golden, who is employed at the
Gibson hospital, while returning
from work, came across a reptile
that measured 5 feet and 5 inches
and weighed four and a quarter
pounds. Golden gave a descrip-
ton of the snake as being brown
with yellow spots and he said it
was toothless. The snake had
been making its home in the stock
yards in the east end of the city,
and some think it probably had
made its escape from Gentry

BROOKLYN HOOPS 1T
Thousands Walk and Ride in Trucks
to Manhattan Offices.


New York, Aug. S.-With only a
few surface cars, an occasional ele-
waited or subway train in operation,
thousands of Brooklyn residents were
compelled again today to resort to
buses, motor cars and trucks. Con-
gestion at terminal points of the Long
Island railroad and the Interborough
Rapid Transit company line to Man
haitian were jammed early with anx-
ious throngs when it became appar-
emf that the third day of the strike OF
Brooklyn Rapid Transit employees
promised little or no relief.
Suspension of local Brooklyn bridge
car service resulted in a rush for the
promenade and thousands walked to
work. None of the ten Brooklyn Rapid
Transit surface lines over the Will
liamsburg bridge had resumed opera
tions when the first of the rush hour
crowds began to arrive at the Brook
Ign end. The few local cars in oper-
alton were jammed, many passengers
risking the danger of riding on the
top of cars. Only two elevated trains
passed over the Williamsburg bridge
between a. m. and 7:15 a. m, each
being made up of two cars.
Orders were issued by the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company about a. m.
to resume selling tickets for Coney Is
land. No disorders were reported
when the early rush began.

that the cereal workers pickets would
cause no trouble. There were $50
Santa Fe men gathered around the
Topeka mill at noon today. but there
was no disturbance, he said.
Lew shannon and Arthur Music1x,
who had been employed by the Topeka
Transfer company for years, resigned
Thursday afternoon rather than haul
flour from the Topeka mill.
Our contract with these men," said
o. H. White. of the Topeka Transfer
company, requires that they do this
work. We told them they would
either have to do it or quit"
Try to Settle Matter.
This morning ]. H. Gayhart, of the
Merchants Transfer company. sent
two men in truck to the Topeka mill
for load of flour. Arriving at the
mill, and being threatened by the pick
cts, it was said, the men returned
without the flour.
This morning Floyd White, a truck
driver for the Topeka company, said
rock was thrown at him when he
went to the Topeka mill for a load
of flour for q local bakery. The po-
lice were called and picked up one of
the pickets, but Clyde Tresner. chief
of detectives. stated that there was
no charge against the man, that no
complaint had been made and that
they were merely holding him tempo
rarily pending further developments.
After Floyd White had obtained his
load OF flour he went to the transfer
company's office where he asked for
helnar n assist him in =
ting the flour in the bakery. At that
moment a wagon drove up for orders.
You go with Floyd here and help
him. o. H. White told the helper on
the new wagon.
Man Refused to Go.
Nothing doing" replied the helper.
IT wouldn't go out there with that
flour. I'm out on one strike now"
He had been a mill employe and had
gone to work for the transfer COM
pany tending settlement Of the cereal
workers strike.
Earl Tucker another truck driver
for the Topeka Transfer company, and
a union man. said several rocks were
thrown at MIN and his helper Thurs
day when he went to the Topeka mill
for flour. The picket threatened
violence. he says.
There has been no order issued to
US to quit hauling flour" said one OF
theunion drivers. but it's a danger
GUS proposition. You wouldn't want
to go down there either IL you knew
you were going to be bombarded with
rocks"
Transfer company officials argue
with the drivers that they are working
| for the transfer company and hauling
flour to the bakeries. where the mer
are all unionized. but this does not
seem to ease the worry of the mer
over rocks. The drivers who are bold
enough to penetrate the picket lines
are escorted thru by deputized guards
