BIG STRIKE ENDED
Compromise Is Reached in
Freighthandlers' Dispute.
BOTH SIDES MAKE CONCESSIONS
Men Accept the Advance- Offered
Tbem July 1, but the Railroads
Refuse to Recognize the
Union.
CHICAGO, July 9. The' strike of the
freighthandlers is virtually settled. Meet
ings of the strikers -will be held tomorrow
to ratify the action taken tonight by
President Curran, of the order.
By the terms of the settlement the strik
ers accept the schedufe of wages offered
them by the railroads July 1. This sched
ule was emphatically refused by the strik
ers at the time it was made. It offered
an average Increase of 20 per cent for all
classes of labor connected with the
Freighthandlers' Urlon. The demands of
the men would have made an average in
crease of about 30 per cent.
The railroads at the time of offering
the Increase, July 1, said that under no
circumstances would they recognize the
union of the freighthandlers to the ex
tent of allowing the officers of the organi
zation to make terms fo- the men with
the officers o$ the railways by which they
were employed. This was one of tho chief
reasons for the strike, the men insisting
that the union should be fully recognized.
The railroads have won a complete vic
tory on this point The attitude of the
roads toward the Freighthandlers Unlor
is the same as that maintained toward all
local organizations of railroad men. The
frcighthandlera demanded something that
no other organlaztlon of railroad employes
in Chicago had asked, and the managers
announced that under no circumstances
would they agree to this.
President Curran, of the Freight
handlers' Union, said after the mcetlni
with the general managers tonight that he
practically hadbeen compelled by hl9 own
men to accept the terms of the roads.
The action of the teamsters was a factor
in settling the strike. They took Issue
with the freighthandlers, and intimate
that no assistance could be expected from
them, inasmuch as the frelghthandlen
had struck against the advice of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor.
The agreement reached by President
Curran with the managers tonight must
be ratified by the men tomorrow, but
there is only a very small probability
that this will not be done.
Shippers and the large firms about town
found things in better shape today, and
were able to secure freight and ship goods
on the various railroads as was usual be
fore the olrlkc began.
Sorting: Freight at Galcsburgr.
GALESBURG. 111., July 9. The Chicago.
Burlington & Qulncy Railway has shipped
140 cars of mixed freight from Chicago
to be oorted here and shipped to different
parts of the country. A squad of extra
men Is assisting the division force in as
sorting the freight and rcshlpplng it.
Importing Nonunion Men.
CHEYENNE. Wyo.. July 9. The Union
Pacific is slowly importing nonunion ma
chinists for Its Cheyenne shops, and now
claims to have 275 men at work. The
strikers say the figures are exaggerated In
the hope that they will grow disheartened.
So far the strikers have offered no vio
lence to the nonunion machinists, and
leaders oay the new men will not be
molested.
TRACY LIES LOW.

hounds at 5 o'clock this morning returned
at 2 o'clock this afternoon after a fruit
less search. It is believed that Tracy is
hiding in the dense woods of that district.
Guards have been stationed at every road
intersection. It is believed that he will
soon make his appearance at some house
and demand food, as he is known to be
without supplies. The rumor that Merrill
has joined his murderous comrade cannot
be substantiated. As matters stand at
this moment, no one knows the exact
whereabouts of the desperado.
TRACY'S REAL NAME.
Ex-Montnnn Sheriff Is Certain It Is
Henry Garr.
"The real name of Harry Tracy, the
Oregon desperado, is Henry Garr, who
began his career of crime in Montana In
1891," said A. O. Rose. ex-Sheriff of Beav
erhead County, Montana, to sl Spokane
Spokesman-Review respresentative. Mr.
Rose has for the past five years resided
near Payette, Idaho. He was four years
Sheriff of Beaverhead County, Montana,
and later was employed as a special de
tective by the Oregon Short Line Rail
road Company, with headquarters at Dil
lon, the county seat of Beaverhead Coun
ty. Prior to being elected Sheriff of Beav
erhead County, he was a freight conduct
or on the Oregon Short Line. He is vis
iting R. C. Halllday, proprietor of the
Grand Hotel, in this city, who was a
passenger conductor on the Oregon Short
Line running out xf Butte, Mont., at the
time the former wa3 running freight
trains. Tho above statement was made
by Mr. Rose last evening in relating some
of his experiences with criminals in Mon
tana a decade ago. Continuing, he said:
"I am positive that Henry Garr; whom
I arrested at pillon in the Spring of
1S91 for stealfng a keg of beer from the
depot platform is none other than Harry
Tracy, the escaped convict of the Salem
Penitentiary. I first learned that Garr
had taken the name of Tracy in 1S97,
when I received a photograph from the
warden of the Utah Penitentiary, accom
panied by a notification that he, with
four other prisoners, had effected his
escape while in custody.
"At the time of his arrest at Dillon,
Garr, or Tracy, could not have been over
IS years of age, although he gave his age
as 19. He received a Jail sentence of 00
days for the theft of the beer, and on his
release he wpnt to work for a ranchman
In the southern part of the county. He
was with his employer but a short time
when he mode off with goods to tho -value
of about $30. He. was capturedand
returned to the Jail at Dillon. Ho was
tried and convicted and sentenced to one.
year In the penitentiary in Deer Lodge."
"While serving his sentence. I received
a letter from his father from a town in
ilssourl, tho name of which I -have now
forgotten. "When young Garr was again
set at liberty, he returned to Dillon and
secured some clothing he had left In my
care. He then -went to -work with a
gang of woedchoppers, but soon tired of
mat, and decamped in company with an
other youth, after robbing the camp. I
then lost sight of him until I received his
rhotcgraph from the warden of the Utah
Penitentiary.
"An Incident of his final disappearance
from Montana, which shows that ho had
tested a career of crime; was that when
he robbed the woodchoppers' camp there
was owing him in wages about 130, and
that the stolen goods did not exceed the
value of $15. He could not resist the
temptation to steal. When he returned
for his clothes after serving time In the
Deer Lodge Penitentiary, about the first
auestlon he asked me was whether I had
heard from his folks In Missouri. I told
him that I had and he wanted to know
what I had replied.
"I told him that I had informed his
father of his incarceration In the peniten
tiary for burglary. He said: 'What In
h 1 did you do that forr
" 'You did not expect me to tell hlrr
you had been elected Governor of Mon
tana, did you?' said I.
"He remained silent a few moments,
and then said: 'Oh, I don't care a cuss;
the old man (meaning his father) stole
hogs in Missouri.' "
When Garr was taken to the Deer
Lodge Penitentiary, he was accompanied
by another youth about his own ago and
a man named Marks, who were sentenced
for burglar'. Marks, after his release,
disappeared, but the young man returnea
to union, and about two weeks later held
up a man on the streets of Butte anl
was sentenced to V) years in the peniten
tlary. The real name of Marks was Mor
rl3ey, and his home was at Stockton,

Man AnsivcrlnET Deucrlptlon Seen in
a Rcstanrant.
A man, who In every way answers the
description of Merrill, the escaped con
vict, took lunch lest night at a Portland
restaurant, and many who saw him are
positive In their assertions that the man
was Merrill. "While he was at lunch, an
old paper was procured, and the man
compared with the picture, and the re
semblance was beyond question. His ap
pearance was shortly beforo lunch tiroc
He came in at the door and asked the
proprietor if he could not give him a Job.
"No," said that gentleman; "I have no
work for you." His shoes wore badly
worn, and looked as if they had had
some very rough use. He looked tired
ana worn, dui naa aDout mm a

Independent air that could be expected In
such a man as Merrill. During his lunch
he called for a messenger boy and gave
him a note. The boy could not find the
party to whom the note was addressed,
and, upon his return, some of the neonle
who by this time had become suspicious J
asked the boy to let them read the note,
It read as follows: "I have seen him
and will have to get out of town at once."
Upon finishing his meal, he drew from (
his pocket a large leather purse, In which '
Beemed to be plenty of money, and paid
the charges and left the place, leaving the
people wondering concerning their
strange visitor. 1

Plan to Hold Professor Loeb.
CHICAGO, July 9. The installation of a
completely equipped aquarium at the Uni
versity of Chicago Is the possible result
of the offer made to Professor Jaques
Loeb, the head of the department of
physiology, by the University of Califor
nia. The university authorities are said
to bo determined to keep Professor Loeb
at all costs, and such an aquarium which
he needs In order to carry on his experi
mentation with marine animal life Is
talked of as a means of holding him.
Professor Loeb Is engaged in research
work at the biological station at Wood
shole, Mass., at present, and his col
leagues at the university are unable to
say how seriously he considered the Cal
ifornia offer.

SEATTLE. July 0. Tracy made his presence on Pugct Sound known a. wek ago today, when ha stole the. gasoline launch "X. & S." at
South Bay. near Olycipla, ahanthtled a crew and made the run to Meadow Point, north of Ballard, where he disembarked. The next day he
moed north to Bolhell, where, be had a battle with a pctse. In this fight Deputy Sheriff Itaymond was killed and Deputy Sheriff Jack

time In a house near Green Lake. Tracy put up a fight and 'escaped, but not until he had killed Follceman E. E. Breese and Xell Raw
ley. The next mornlns the fugitive set out for Bothell once more, and appeared at the hou of & Mr. Fisher, where he secured some
thins to eat and a change of clothing. That night he covered his track?, appeared at Meadow Point for the second time, and compelled a
Japanese fisherman to row blm across to Balnbridee Island. Saturday he visited the Johnson house, near Point Madison, spent the day,
secured provision, and pet out in the evening, accompanied by John Anderson, whom he made a, captive. He stole Johnson's boat the

CAUSES OF THE LATE WAR

Archbishop Ireland's Address to
Educational Convention Methods
of Part of the American Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 9. High-water
mark In the attendance at tbe National
Educational Association has probably been
reached and It is undoubtedly the record
' for numbers present at any meeting of the
association j'et held. A conservative esti
mate would place the number of visitors
in the city today as considerably over
0,000. The department meetings were all
well attended today, and there were 15 of
them. Tomorrow there will be li meeting
and Friday, when the convention closes,
there will be 12.
The feature of the day was the Rreat!
meeting of the general association tonight j
irt the Exposition building. The attend- i
ance did not fall short of 10.000 people. Dr. j
Michael Ernest Sadler, director of Inqulr-!
ics and representative of tho educational
office, London, was the first speaker, and '
taking as his theme, "Hope," for nearly
an hour held his audience with a thought
ful and scholarly address.
The principal address of the session was
delivered by Archbishop John Ireland, of
St. Paul, the well known churchman and
orator. He was given a warm reception
by the great assemblage. "Devotion to .

address. Particular interest was shown in I
xne arcnoisnop s reierence to uie opanwn-1
American war, and to conditions in tho
Philippines. He said in part:
"I am one of those who see in the se
quence of the late Spanish-American War
the guiding hand of a mighty Providence
and the outburst of forces long gathering
in the bosom of the Nation, sure -at one .
moment or another to break out in a re- 1
sletlcss sclf-asesrtlon. Nevertheless, I '
shall never deny that among the imme- ,
dlatc causes of the war there are to be '
numbered the exaggerated statements the '
lies, too. and the calumnies the ceaseless j
appeals to wild and reckless pawloh which .
disfigured and disgraced the utterances
of certain newKnaner writers and of cer
tain other manipulators of public opinion. ,

and patslon play a large part; and we
cannt but assert that It were immensely f
bctter for the country if r suits attained
tnrougn war should have been attained j
Without the carnage and havoc of war. j
"How unguarded and reckless and how ,
reprehensible many statements published 1
at the present time as rrom the Philip- i
pines, purporting to tell of dreadful deeds '
Of cruelty and Injustice, for which, on i
close examination, no foundation In fact
Is found. I shall name in this connection
one instance which I am particularly
pleased to censure. A little while ago cer
tain Catholic newspapers raised' the cry
j that proselytism was the order of the day
in me Knoois ok .Manna, xne cnier om
clals, It was said, and the teachers in the
normal being regularly ordained ministers,
who divided their time between the mul
tiplication table and tract reading. The
matter was Investigated, and It was dis
covered that the chief officials and teach
ers in the normal were not ministers and
that their own good sense, as well as the
strict rules of tho Government, confined
them, strictly to secular matters. The
newspapers which had admitted Into their
columns such statements have since, in
deed, repudiated them; but, meanwhile,
much needless excitement was raised and
much harm done.
"If I were to choose where, outside the
classroom, for the general welfare of hu
manity, I should have devotion to truth
prevail, I should name the newspaper. The
newspaper Is today pre-eminently the
mentor of the people. It is read by all.
It Is believed nearly by all. Its influence
is paramount; its responsibility Is tre
mendous; Its province Is to narrate facts;
to give the truth, nothing but the truth
and all the truth; to allow both parties to
a controversy to be heard; never to pal-
Hate or distort; never to omit, when that
which Is omitted may be of relevancy in
tho formation -of public opinion; never to
publish the doubtful ascertainment of
mero gouslp as well ascertained news;
never, above all elae, to put before read
ers error and falsehood. Facts given, the
editor is at liberty to argue from them,
and even then let there bo radiant through
limpid lines the fair love of truth, rather
than the wish to extol party or sect.
Journalism that is honest and honorable
is one of the Nation's most precious in
heritances; that which places notoriety
and pelf above truth and virtue, and
adopts as its tactics of war the stunning
sensation rather than the calm statement
of facts, is one of the Nation's direst ca
lamities. Numerous in America is the
Journalism which is honest and honorable;
here and there is found that which wor
ships, above all else, notoriety and pelf.
There is here a duty of conscience and of
patriotism for Americans. May they ever
be mindful of that duty."
Department Meetings.
A striking paper was read in the kinder
garten section by Mary C. May. director
of the kindergarten department. State
Normal School, Salt Lake, on defects in
the teachings of English.
James Remnen Bishop, of Cincinnati,
aroused the enthusiasm of the secondary
education department by his demand for
a closer system of supervision of schoola
by the state. State bureau?, he declared.
do not supervise thoroughly and well, be
cause too small and underpaid.
In the department of business education
the president, 1. O. Drlssy, of the Regents'
office, Albany, N. Y., raid that a commit
tee of nine had spent the year formulating
a general course of procedure and de
tailed cource of study for business educa
tion In high schools. The demand for
four-year courses was so strong and
showed so decided a trend toward prac
tical business Instruction that the com
mittee's work was most Important.
A. E. Wlnshlp, editor of the Journal of
Education, Boston, read a strong and sug
gestive paper on the disciplinary value Of
commercial studies, as opposed to the old
Idea that higher mathematics was best rfr
disciplining the mind. In illustration he
said: "J. J. Hill 1b the greatest railroad
man on earth, because he first carries a
bushel of wheat 11C0 miles for a cent and
a half, and a ton of coal 1100 miles for 25
ccntr. It was the plain multiplication ta
ble that made Jim Hill the best disciplined
man of Chicago."
W. H. Norton, professor of geology at
Grinnell College, Iowa, in his address as
president of the science instruction de
partment, contended that from primary
school to university there should be no
year In which scientific aptitudes may not
find means of development.' "It is physi
cal science alone," he said. In referring to
Christian Science, "which can render us
immune to such vagaries."
In the department of higher education,
George N. Carlan, director of the Lewis
Institute, Chicago, made the second an
nual report for the committee on accred
ited schools, whoBe object It is to estab
lish closer relations between the colleger
and secondary schoolc of the North Cen
tral States, and to effect reasonable uni
formity In requirements for admission to
colleges. If Its plan Is put Into operation,
any graduate of any school-In the accred
ited list may enter any college In the asso
ciation without examination.
The movement for the election of Presi
dent 'Charles Wr. Eliot, of Harvard, as
president of the association has made such
headway that he Is likely to be named
without opposition.
Of the department meetings held this
afternoon the one of most general Im
portance was that. of special education,
held at the Hennepin Avenue Methodist
Episcopal Church. Dr. Graham Bell, the
Inventor of the telephone and president
of the 'department, explained the objects
of the department and the wonderful
work that It and the educators of defect

Among the other speakers was W. T. Har

Numerous bridges have been swept away
in Lynn County. The Skunk River and
Squaw Creek are out of their banks and
near the confluence in Storey County,
thousands of acres are flooded and -crops
practically destroyed.
The continuous rains are paralyzing
business In Fort Dodge, and the railroads
are almost out of business. The west

The levee on the Raccoon River, near
Murray and Railroad streets, commenced
to weaken this afternoon and at 3 o'clock
water was flowing over and through it

Fremont County. Water was four feet
deep In a portion of Florence. The Santa
Fe Railroad lost two Iron bridges and
1SC0 feet of track. It is reported that
Chandler Creek ran into the Chandler
coal mine and Ailed it, but this may be
exaggerated. Crops In the Wet Mountain
Valley were washed out. It Is feared
that Grape Creek, the most terrible
stream In the country In time of freshet,
has damaged the flne Irrigation system

claring Unconstitutional an important sec

The following letter from Congressman
Botkin speaks for itself:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON. D. C.
Dr. S. B. Hartman. Columbus, O.i
My Dear Doctor It gives me pleasure
to certify to the excellent curative quali
ties of your
medicines Pe
runa and Mana
lln. I have been
afflicted more
or less for a
quarter of a
century with
catarrh of the
stomach and
constipation. A
residence In
Washing ton
has increased
these troubles.
A few bottles of
your medicine
have given me
almost com
plete relief, and I am sure that a con
tinuation of them will effect a permanent
cure. Peruna is surely a wonderfuL rem
edy for catarrhal affections. J. D. Bot
kin.
This Is a case of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-flve years, ac
cording to his statement, and Peruna has
nt once come to his relief, promptly ac
complishing for him more beneflt than he
had beep able to 'find In all other rem
edies during a quarter of a century.
It stands to reason that a man of
wealth and Influence, like a Congressman
of the great United States, has left ho
ordinary means untried and no stone un
turned to iind a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia 13 due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach.
It 13 Impossible to Imagine how nny evi
dence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna.
