agers of railroads and committees of
the striking freighthandlers will be held

CHICAGO. July 8. Through the efforts
of Chairman Job, of the state arbitration
committee, a series of meetings have been
arranged for 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing between the general managers of each
of the roads and a committee of five men
from the striking freighthandlers of the
same line. Chairman Job went to each
railroad separately and asked the general
manager if he would receive a committee
of strikers. In an Instant he was In
formed that the committee would be re
ceived If it was understood that it came
from the employes of the road, and not
from the Freighthandlers Union. Then
Mr. Job reported to the men his success
with the railroads, and secured their con
Bent to the meetings. It was arranged
that each committee should consist of
live strikers.
Chairman Job said tonight that he
thought he had inserted the entering
wedge for the settlement of the strike.
"The men have asserted all along," he
said, "that they would not meet the man
agers unless they were received as repre
sentatives of the union. The managers
have said they would confer with the
men at any time provided hey came as
employes of the road with a grievance to
be adjusted. Of course, I cannot tell what
will come from the meetings, but the dif
ferences in the demands of the men and
the concessions of the railroads are to
slight that recognition of the union is
practically the only thing at issue. The
men show a disposition to be less stiff In
this respect, and I hope that we have en
tered upon the beginning of the end."
President Curron, of the Freighthand
lers, said, tonight:
"The representatives of the various
companies will decide the duration of the
.strike. "I feel assured, however, that the
difference will be amicably adjusted be
fore tomorrow night,"
At all the freighthofises pickets endeav
ored to persuade newcomers from taking
jobs, and sought to lure awaynhe men
already at work. In the yard of the Il
linois Central the men brought in last
night were at work on perishable freight.
They spent the night in sleeping cars
brought into the city for them, and ate
their breakfa'st in dining cars mostly of
the pattern used on construction 'trains.
The jobbing Interests of the city are
seriously tied up in their shipping depart
ments. Heavily laden trucks which left
for the freight yards yesterday are, in
many instances, still waiting to be un
loaded. The roads so far have had but
little chance of handling anything save
perishable freight.
Inquiries from officials of the various
railroads elicited the invariable statement
that freight of all kinds was being han
dled witlf scarcely any delay. - It was
claimed by all that they had sufficient
men. Among the recruits at the Illinois
Central were an old man and his three
stalwart sons from "down the state."
"I am a stockholder in a small way,"
said the old man. "and as I heard your
men were leaxing I came up with my
three boys."
The quartet was put to work by the
superintendent to whom the announce
ment was made.
Investigation by reporters of the state
ments that full crews were working and
interviews with, members of wholesale
firm? seemed to Indicate that the reports
of the railroad representatives were some
what optimistic At the "Wabash depot
but 10 men were found at work, and'at
the Michigan Central and "Wisconsin Cen.
tral, where hundreds of men went out,
scarcely any were found at work. It was
said that a full force of men would be
on hand tomorrow. About SO per cent of
the wholesalers reported a curtailment or
almost complete stoppage of business
with outside points, while the remaindA
said business vas going forward about as
usual. Some firms laid off a number of
men pending a settlement of the strike.
The local business Interests affected are
8aid to be exerting a powerful pressure
an the railroads to bring about a settle
ment A meeting of prominent business
men to discuss the situation, and. if pos
sible, to find .means of bringing It to an
end, was -arranged for today.
After a, protracted meeting the Railroad
Clerks' Union early today decided that It
would not aid the freighthandlers In any
way. "When the meeting convened last
night a deputation of strikers presented
a request for aid. which the clerks, after
a long debate, refused to grant. Even a
vole of sympathy with the strikers was
refused.
This afternoon the teamsters decided
not to aid in the strike. They issued the
following over the signature of E. L. Hur
ley, secretary of the Teamsters' Union:
"The Teamsters' National Union of
America, in reply to John C. Driscoll sec
retary of the associated teaming interests,
who called upon the officers of the Team
sters National Union, at 2 P. M., stated
over the signature of the secretary. R L
Hurley, of the Teamsters' National Unlonj
that, under their agreements now existing
with the teamowners of Chicago, they
cannot take part In the present strike of
the freighthandlers. and that they are
powerless to assist In any manner in the
strike. ,
"The Teamsters' National Union will
carry out t,o the fullest extent the orders
they receive from their employers as to
the handling of freight and delivering of
the same. They cannot afford to violate
the existing agreements and conditions.
The freighthandlers cannot consistently
call upon them for assistance in this mat
ler, as without consultation with or ad
vice from the Teamsters' National Union
they called this strike."
LONG DRAWX OUT STRIKE.
Union Pacific Machinists Propose to
Make a Clean Fight.
OMAHA, Neb., July 8. James O'Con
nell, president of the International Asso
ciation of Machinists, spent today in this
city with the Union Pacific strikers and
had a short talk with President Burt.
He mys the 6trike has settled down to
a long drawn out contest, and that it will
be fought out on its merits. Said he:
"We want to make this a clean fight.
We wish to proceed without violence; no
braggadocio with the best of feeling on
our part It can hardly be said that the
strike has yet commenced, so far as we
are concerned. It has been merely a
suspension of work on our part. We have
been careful in a financial way and are
prepared to support the Union Pacific
machinists for months to come."
A new batch of strike-breakers were
put to work In the local shops today.
They are being quartered In boarding
cars in the shop yards.
Critical Situation nt Denver.
DENVER, July S-The situation at the
local Union Pacific shops is more critical
than at any time since the strike was in
augurated. A force of Pinkerton detec
tives was today put In charge of the shops
and the city has supplied four policemen
for protection. Trouble Is not expected
from the strikers themselves, but from
sympathizers who work'in the 2K or snore
contract shops of the city. Since ope of
the workmen was assaulted Sunday night,
the crowd that gathers at night has been
continually on the Increase, and the steps
for protection have been taken as a pre
cautionary measure. The strikers now
claim that they have all the experienced
machinists out but three, and all of the
bollermakers, blacksmiths and copper
smiths have stopped work. The strikers
continue to patrol the grounds outside of
the Pinkerton lines.

rescue at the Gerrells house at 6 o'clock
tonight. From his story it la evident that
Tracy has accomplices who are lending
him material assistance in his flight
through the country.
After disposing fit a hearty meal at the
1 Melrose Hotel, Anderson seated himself
at a table In Inman's Renton saloon, and
told the following story In broken English:
"We left Madison on Saturday night at
9 o'clock. "We went to "West Seattle and
arrived at daylight. I pulled the boat.
Tracy held a gun over me all th way.
"We landed south of the West Seattle
elevator under a trestle, and went direct
ly Into the woods. We spent Sunday in
the woods at West Seattle. When It got
dark, we came across the bay in our
boat, and landed at the sawmill at South
Seattle. We then started on the railroad
'. track toward Black River. Wo turned off
the track to the left shortly before we
reached Bla'ck River. We crossed a large
hayfleld. and went into the woods. This
was Monday morning. When we got into
the timber, we cooked breakfast. We

then rested until afternoon. At 3 o'clock
we started through the timber toward
Renton.
"Just before we reached the railroad
bridge over Black River, we met four,
men, and Tracy said 'Hello, Fred,' and
jumped down the bank to where the men
were standing. Tracy talked toxthe men
for a few minutes. After the.talk, Tracy
left one of the men to watch me. He and
the three others, after blindfolding me,
went off and stayed about an hour. When
they returned, they brought a bottloyot
whisky. Then we started out. Tracy
forced me to walk in front, and he fol
lowed behind accompanied by the four
men wo met on the bridge.
Tied Up Nearly AH Night.
"We arrived at Renton about 11 o'clock
end walked up the railroad track through
tho town one and a half miles east of the
brickyard. Here Tracy tied me up and
he, accompanied by the four strange men,
left me. They returned at daylight this
morning and we went further back Into
the brush and cooked breakfast. After
breakfast, Tracy told me he would go
away for awhile but would come back in
an hour. When he returned, he brought
a little boy from Gerrells' house, and we
walked down to the Gerrells place togeth
er. We were In the house about three
hours when Tracy took me out into tno
brush. At the river bank, he said: "Lie
down.' After looking up and down the
river, Tracy tied me up and cautioned me
to keen stilj. I lay in this position until
called to by Mrs. Gerrells, when I hobbled
out of the brush Into her backyard where
this gentlemen. Indicating a newspaper
man, untied the leather straps which held
my wrists."
AT THE GnRRELLS HOME.
Tracy n. Gentlemanly Caller, bnt,
Above AH, a Man of Nerve.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 8. Tho Tracy
whom May Baker, an 18-year-old girl of
Seattle, will remember for the rest of her
life. Is a gallant, tender-hearted man, with !
a prodigious love for llttlo children, a con
versationalist of brilliancy, a merry-hearted
"Josher," a man with a decided respect
for womanhood, but, above all, a man
with an Iron nerve. Miss Baker, Mrs.
W. J. McKlnney, Mrs. Charles Gerrells
and the latter's little children were with
Tracy Jn the Gerrells house for more than
four hours. The last hour or so the house
was surrounded by armed guards, but
Tracy .never showed tbe least apprehen-4
sion. Miss Baker complained of being
cooped in the house all day. Tracy pro
posed they should dance to pass away the
time.
Like One of Damns Romances,
Tbe story of Tracy's visit to the Gerrells
home reads like one of Alexander Dumas'
romances. Nothing that Jesse James ever
did In the way of daring and audacity
could equal the calmness of the now fa
mous outlaw while in the house. He
treated the women with the greatest
courtesy. He entertained them with his
conversation, soothed Mrs. McKinncy's
fcyear-old child, Ada McKlnney, when she
became frightened. He carried water for
the dinner, chopped wood and made him
self generally useful, when the posse had
formed an almost cqmplete circle around
the house. He carried on a mild flirta
tion with Mis3 Baker, and the two for sev
eral hours were engaged in an Intellectual
battle.
Fleeing From Reporters.
So many new phases of the murderer's
character "developed during tho visit that
the women were unable to give any analy-,
sis of bis personality. He raw a newspa
per man go down the track not 0 feet
away, and he told the women that there
was the posse's advance agent. He in
timated that he was fleeing from the re
porters who wanted to interview him, and
not from the guards. And this was when
many men were stationed on all Bides. Be-
fore he walked away from the bouso
through the guards be gave the women
several mementoes.
The Gerrells home is situated about two
miles up the track of the old Columbia &
Puget Sound Railroad. After loafing
around Renton for the night, Tracy, with
Anderson In tow, started up 'the tracks.
The pair journeyed slowjy. They sat,down
and rested In the dense brush beside the
track a few rods on the Renton stfLj? of
the Gen-alls' home. They rested for some
time, until Miss Baker and Mrs. McKin
ney passed them.
Meeting: With Tracy-.
Miss Baker and Mrs. McKlnney were out
picking blackberries. Tracy watched them
for a long time. Once they were so close
that he could almost have touched them
with his band. They passed on fcp the
track from Renton toward the Gerralla
home. Tracy ventured nearer the track.
Juot then Charles Gerralls; an 18-year-old
boy, came up the track. He heard Some
thing snap. He looked back, walkpd on
a few feet, and looked again. It was then
11:30 in the morning.
"Hey," cried Tracy, "stop a moment.
my boy-" He stepped from the bushes and
walked to the lad.
"Well, I guess you have heard of me,"
remarked the convict. He smiled pleasant
ly zi he spoke. The two women wero a
few yards away.
"That's Tracy," said Mra McKlnney,
jestingly, when the murderer spoke tho
first time. .
"No," said Miss Baker, "I don't know
who you are."
"Well, I'm Tracy," said the outlaw. His
words created consternation among the
trio.
"Now, don't be afraid," said Tracy. "I
won't hurt you."
"Well, Mr. Tracy," said Mrs. McKlnney!
recovering fromtthe shock, "I am glad to
see you."
"I would never have known you by your
picture." exclaimed Miss Baker.
"Ah, now, you are Jollying me," said
the slayer of half a dozen men, "but don't
be afraid. I never harmed a woman in m
life," and as he spoke he took off his hat
respectfully to the two before him. When
he heard that young Gerralls home was
a few rods up the track he informed the
party that all would have to go there. Be
fore they reached the house he sent tho
boy on to warn the mother of the ap
proach. "Tell her," said Tracy.- earnestly,
"that I bring harm to none of hers."
Makes All Feel at Home.
They entered the house, and Tracy took
off hla hat to Mrs. Gerrells. Tracy went
in by tho front door as he spoke, and sat
down on a trunk at the side of the room.
Inside five minutes he had quieted all
fear among his listeners with the excep
tion of Mrs. Gerrells, who was somewhat
nervous throughout his visit. Tfth the
one exception he made them all feel at
home.
As Tracy sat .upon the trunk his un
willing companion were able 'for tbe
first time to obnerve him closely. Ho
looked fresh and strong. Eliminating his
eyes, his face was serene and pleasant.
Tho eyes, however, were an unnatural
dark blue. He had an uncomfortable
habit of rolling them when ho made a
threat. Tho women say that he did not
look unusually thin, but seemed to be in
fine physical condition. Mentally they say.
he was one of the keenest men they ever
met. He was dreessd in a black suit,
and wore a black felt hat. His trousers
were much too short, a matter of much
merriment to himself. He had no tic or
collar, but had jewelry to spare.
Mrs. McKInney's child began to cry
when Tracy entered the house and Mrs.
Gorrelh? looked terrified. The outlaw
called the child to him. "Now, now,
little girl," he said, passing his hand
around her shoulder and stroking her hair,
"don't cry; I wouldn't let anyone harm
an Innocent little thing like you."
When the guards collected around the
house afterward, the child crept to
Tracy's side for protection.

MORGAN AT .BERLIN.
His Arrival at the German Capital
Created a Stir.
NEW YORK July 8.-J. Pierpont Mor
gan's arrival here caused a great stir, ca
bles the Berlin correspondent of the Her
ald. When Mr. Morgan, accompanied by
his daughter, sauntered through Unter den
Linden, he was easily recognized by his
resemblance to the pictures and cartoons
with which the German public have been
almost dally entertained. At one. of the
news stands Mr. Morgan lingered long
enough to see a cartoon of himself in
Lustige Blaetter, showing hlm lying at
full length over a map of America and
stretching ut his hands to England and
Germany".
Asked "about his meeting with the Kai
ser, Mr. Morgan saldi
"I am very sorry, but I cannot say any
thing about tho Kaiser. He was exceeding
ly courteous to us. He is a great man for
a fact."
Clement A. Grlscom. who was with the
party on board the Meteor, said;
"The Anglo-Saxon countries the United
States, Great Britain and Germany art
destined to rule the sea and commerce.
Germany Is a growing nation. The Kai
ser Is fully acquainted with the relations
between the trans-Atlantic shipping com
pany which Mr. Morgan has formed and
the German steamship company. In fact,
the Kateer is acquainted with all the de
tails and shows a marvelous grasp of
current affairs.
"While we were on board the Meteor he
assumed charge and directed, like a life
long seaman? In fact, he would have led
the Meteor in as a winner of the first
l.iire except fpr tho largo handicap given
the boat. N
"The Kaiser sympathizes with our ef
forts in doing away with unnecessary
competition between the various trans-Atlantic
lines and effecting economy.
"I have no doubt the Kaiser Is becom
ing moro and more popular, not only
among his own pKple, but in other coun
tries. When Prince Henry visited the
United States, a member of the New York
Yacht Club decided to make a return by
coming over to the meeting at Kief. 1
am sure that the attendance of an in
creasing number of American yachts at
Kiel is now certain.
"The Kaiser expressed .admiration for
Mr. Morgan. I think he believes the
United States Is a good country to model
after. There is no reason to fear rivalry
of Germany and the United States from
a commercial standpoint. All may work
together for a common end,"

London "Killing: Her Gncsts With
Kindness" Prospects- of Conference.
NEW YORK, July 8. Th.e process of
killing the colonial guests with kindness
goes on without interruption, cables the
Trlbune'B Ldndon correspondent. The
Duke of Marlborough presided at one
colonial banquet at the Constitutional
Club, and the Imperial Chapter of the
Primrose League entertained another
group of Premiers and Ministers. Mrs.
Leopold de Rothschild gave a large gar
den party for them at Gunnerebury Park.
Sir Edmund Barton had an engagement
for a speech at the meeting at the Man
sion House, and Sir Gordon Sprigg and
Premier Ross made addresses at the
meeting of the British Empire League,
over which the Duke of Devonshire pre
sided, a
While there Is an abundance of oratory
over the sentimental aspects of imperial
Ism, there is a lack of authoritative in
formation respecting the business of the
conference. Nobody has undertaken to
explain Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's
views of steamship subsidies and prefer
ential trade, yet the colonials do not
doubt that he holds "strong opinions on
both subjects. He is credited with a
willingness to meet the colonies, not per
haps half way, but more generously than
his colleagues. In defending British ship

phrases cautiously. He is said to be
willing to relax the grain and wine duties
In favor of the colonics, if they in turn
will lower their tariffs .against England.
The results of mutual preference be will
be likely to explain as gains for free
trade.
There are optimists among the visiting
statesmen who assert that Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach's opposition may be, over

attacked and the duties actually In force
are removed on both sides In the Interest
of less restricted commerce. Preferential

in Americi before It was known here. But
the London Times and other papers this
morning confirm the Associated Press an
nouncement From the same excellent
source the Associate Press learns today
that the pressing forward of the corona
tion was 'due to the personal Insistence of
the King. His doctors were at first op
posed to such an 'early date, but the King
declined to agree to any other plan?. The
doctors agree that it will be far better for
King Edward to get through the turmoil
of the coronation as soon as possible,
rather than have it hanging over him for
months.
The King Is determined not to break
up the court at Buckingham Palace until
the coronation. He miy go on board his
yacht for a few days' cruise, but he Is
more likely to remain in London until the
affair is over and then take a prolonged
holiday.
The bulletin regarding the condition of
King Edward posted at Buckingham Pal
ace at 10 o'clock this morning says:
"Tho King's progress is all that can be
desired.
"TREVES, LAKING, BAROW."
It was said at Buckingham Palace to
night that King Edward's progress was In
no way retarded.
