TIED UP ALL KINDS OF
BUSINESS.
MAYOR HANSON'S STATEMENT
Says Everything Will Be Running as
Usual This wholesome Unions
Sent Men Back to Work-Sym-
pathetic Strike May Fail.

Seattle. Conservative labor
leaders asserted Monday that the gen
eral strike conference committee of
union delegates reassembies they will
renew the fight to have the sympa-
thetic strike called off and a definite
time fixed for it's expiration.
Indications that the strike would be
broken before long by the gradual
creased Sunday. Street car men vot-
ed to return to work and the service
was practically normal Sunday
Formal statements issued by Mayor
Ole Hanson and a citizens committee
representing 81 civic, patriotic and
business organizations asserted that
the backbone of Seattle's general
strike of $4,000 workers, now in it's
fourth day, had been effectually bro
ken Almost simultaneously it was
announced that the BARRIERS had voted
to return to work Monday morning,
and that several other labor unions
were meeting to consider similar ac-
ton.
Statement by Mayor Hanson.
"All city and public utilities are op-
Grating 100 per cent the mayors
statement said "All street cars are
running. Gas, light, water, power,
garbage, collections, hospitals, etc, are
functioning All schools and theaters

sponded nobly in this emergency.

PEACE DELEGATES
NOW URGE UNITY.
HASTE MARKS THE SESSIONS
NEW BOUNDARIES CREATE
NEW PROBLEMS.
MEDIATION PROVES BIG HELP
President Wilson Postpones Trip to
Belgium to View Ruins-Some
Delegates Demand Harsher
Terms of Germany.

PariS.-FeveriSh haste is marking
the proceedings of the peace delegates
in the few days remaining before the
return of President Wilson to the Uni
ted States. The most difficult prob
lens relate to the new boundaries to
be created and which have aroused the
aspirations of many nations, especially
the little ones, for the territory of
their neighbors.
The president has definitely post
the Belgians greatly desire that he
personally inspect their ruined coun-
try and industries and be convinced of
the justice of their claim for repara-
ton. The French also would have
been glad if the president not only
could have been able to go to Belgium,
but is he could have continued his
visits to devastated France. The feel
ing in this matter has been voiced by
Captain Andre Tardieu in his declara-
ton that the German blockade should
| be continued indefinitely.
He Is Needed in Paris.
More important demands, however
have required the presidents contin
ued presence in Paris. 1t is regarded
as necessary that the associated pow
ers shall present solid front when the
| delegates of the central powers are ad
mitted into the conference. If they dc
not present a solid front it is felt il
some quarters, the enemy defeated or
the field might succeed by cunning ant
intrigue in causing dissension among
the associated powers and in getting
better terms for themselves by offer
ing tempting alliances. The main eff
fort of the conference leaders, there
fore, are being directed toward the
consolidation of their own forces ant
in gaining adhesion to the fundamen
tai principles which are to govern thu
future relations of states.
Mediation Helps.
A great deal has been done to sci
tie the territorial disputes by media
ton and in endeavorng to have sue
disputes submitted to the society c
nations when it is organized. A NJ
table success in this direction has bee
in the conflict between Italy and j
go-Slavia over territory in the easter
Adriatic.
AS these difficulties are overcome
however, others appear in the shape c
demands of some elements for the in
position of harsher terms on German
than are contained in the present a
mistice agreement, not only for tn
present, but also for the distant futur,
: Some of these proposals are that &c
: many should be kept blockaded indie
I inite1y, even after the signing of tn
, final peace treaty in order to perm
5 France and Belgium to rehabilitat
g their injured industries so as to |
. able to compete with Germany in ii

IMPRISONED DOGS TO
WORRY FIREMEN LESS

The mysterious disappearance Of
impounded dogs from their place of
detention in the rear of the police
station, which had previously been
complained of by Chief johnson,
was explained at the meeting OF the
city council last night when Fire
Chief Naylor, speaking for the men
of the department, asked that the
place of OBTAINING captured logs be
moved as far away from the fire
mems sleeping quarters as possible.
According to Chief Naylor, the
howing of imprisoned 0ogs makes
the nights hideous for the men, es-
pecially since the dogs are contlnu-
ally changed, not allowing the mems
ears tc become accustomed to any
one variety or tone of howl. His re-
quest was referred to the streets
committee with power to act.
The police department has been
disturbed on several occasions lately
by finding in the mornings the door
of the pound open and the dogs
which have been. collected during the
previous day escaped. The firemen
have refused to give out any definite
information as to how the doors De-
came unlocked.

NO VACATION FOR COURTS;
CRIME WAVE in ATLANTA

ATLANTA, June 20.-The cpl
demic of crime in Atlanta for sever
al months past, which according TO
Solicitor Boykin, shows no signs OF
abatement, will deprive the criminal
court of it's customary summer vaca-
ton, it was announced today. Such a
situation is unprecedented in the his
tory of Fulton county
Coincident with the announcement
of the calling off of the summer va
cation of the court, Solicitor Boykin
urged that all influences for law and
order in Atlanta unite in concerted
stand to halt the crime wave. He de-
clares his belief that a clty-wlde
campaign through the churches and
all organizations that come IN toucn
with the people would bring about
the good results.

BOYS, SWIMMING, INVITE
DEATH in THEIR FRANKS

Citizens have complained numer--
Gus times recently to city officials of
the dangerous practice of boys who
swim in the old pool in Barrow's
pasture, IN Muckalee creek. Accord
ing to these persons, most of whom
have been men who were fishing in
the vicinity, it is the custom of boys
to swim ont into the middle of the
pool, when one of them will start
shouting I'm drowning; Help!"
while others start a great splashing
as if making frantic efforts to save
him. When help comes a shout of
derision goes up and the youngsters
swim for the opposite shore, laugh
ing at the way they have fooled"
some one.
According to a well known negro
who was fishing near there a few
days ago, he was made the victim of
this type of joke twice. When for
third time he heard boy crying
for help, he kept on fishing. He
CHANGED to look up in time to see
the boy actually in distress, and it
was with difficulty that the youngster
was brought out alive.

GERMAN CABINET RESIGNS OFFICE AS
WE|MAR ASSEMBLY VOTES ON TREATY
Engineer, Threatened
With Arrest, Told To
Keep footing Whistle

go ahead; blow your whistle
to your hearts content, just so
you don't overdo it," was the
substance of the advice given
by the city council last night to
John Goolsby veteran engineer
on the Seaboard, who appeared
before that body to explain that
he had been threatened with
prosecution if he did not stop
blowing his whistle at the East
College street crossing ,and to
ask that special permission for
him to continue to do so be
granted him.
II consider this crossing one
of the most dangerous we have"
said Mr.. Goolsby. For years
have been blowing the whistle
for this crossing, but recently
| received a letter from Prof. ].
E. Mathis, who lives nearby, in
forming me that if / did not
stop it he would make a case
against me, it being against a
city ordinance. l do not want to
hit anybody on this crossing,
and neither do | want to have
a case made against me-, so /
appeal to you gentlemen.
81 think it is essential that a
whistle be blown for this cross
ing. If the state authorities
should discover that it is not
being done, we would be subject
to fine of 5000. Anyway, I
don't think blowing a warning
for this crossing inside the city
is any worse than working in a
garden on Sunday"
The members of the council,
in an informal discussion of the
matter asked Mr.. Goolsby if he
considered the blowing of the
whistle there as absolutely nee
essary to safety, to which he
replied that he did. City Mar
shall Pouncey then pointed out
shall Pouncey then pointed out
that the ordinance provides that
whistles may be blown where
necessary, wherupon Mr.. Gools-
by was told to keep on footing
warning for the College street
crossing regardless of COM
plants.

TAXICAB FEUD
And GUN PLAY
AIRED IN COURT

A feud between two city taxi-cab

fer associates, who have their stand
in front of the Bee Hive store. AS
result of the hearing this morning,
Mr.. Vaughan was fined $3.50 for
cursing and Mr.. Compton $40 for
violation of the street ordinance. In
fining Mr.. Compton Recorder Fort
gave him a, severe lecture on the Sc
riousness of his drawing pistol and
stated that he was making the pun
ishment so light only because of the
fact that state warrants had been
taken for the pistol cffense
Several witnesses were heard by
the Recorder, and thetwo parties to
the trouble each told his story. The
facts developed were that the two
had been at outs for several months,
but had continued to park their cars
close together. Yesterday afternoon
while Compton's car was standing in
it's usual place Vaughan drove up and
parked a few inches from his rivals
car. The latter sought out Officer
Forrest and asked him to have
Vaughan move his car. Before the Of
ficer's request was complied with

heated language and Vaughan slap
ped Compton, whereupon the latter
drew pistol from his pocket and,
pointing it at Vaughan snapped it.

The Underground Railroad i'm
Wisconsin

To the fugitive slave Wisconsin lay
far from the land of serfdom, but the
few who reached here found station
keepers on the underground" eager
to help them to the land of freedom
An interesting illustration of the way
it worked is preserved in the State
Historical Library at Madison. To
the Presbyterian manse at Green Bay,
one of the stations on the railroad,
came word in 1885 that four passen-
gers were due on certain Tuesday
evening to be transferred to steam
er bound for Canada. A negro father,
with three small children, had found
for some months an asylum among
the Stockbridge Indians; but the slave
catchers had discovered their refuge
and instant fight was necessary. They
were directed to Green Bay and at
midnight knocked at the parsonage
door and were given shelter. AS the
boat had not yet arrived the pastor
took his charges the next day to the
church belfry for safe keeping and
there he fed and comforted them for
four days. AS Sunday approached, the
problem of longer concealing his flu
gitive guests grew heavy; but Sun
day morning the long-desired steamer
hove in sight, and a waiting sailboat
conveyed them to its dock and on the
way to freedom.

A solicitor for the Nonpartisan
League visited at one of the farmers
homes in the county the other day and
tried to force him into joining the
league without giving him any time to
even think over the matter. The So
licitor told him it wasn't necessary
because a number of other farmers,
whose names he showed him, had
Joined and they wouldn't have joined
unless it was alright. This farmer
wasn't SO easily worked for sixteen
dollars, and he told this solicitor that
he had read some things about this
man Townley, head of the Nonparti-
san League, that weren't compliment
airy to say the least. The solicitor got
quite indignant and criticised the man
for believing what appeared in the
newspapers" The farmer, however,
came back in pretty good shape with
the following: "I'll take my chance
with the newspaper report in pre-
ference to what an entire stranger,
who is employed by man now under
prison sentence, tells me-" When a
farmer gets too inquisitive about this
league the solicitor has no use for
him. He wants him to dig up sixteen
dollars and take his word for it, that
the money is going to bring him un-
told returns. An organization that
won't stand the light publicity needs
watching.-Antigo Journal.
