EMPLOYERS WILL NOT QUIT Demand That Other Firms Cease Dealing With Montgomery Ward & Co. Meets With Flat Re fusal May Cause Strike. CHICAGO. April 21. The teamsters' unions have informed all business houses which have been delivering goods to Mont- gomery Ward & Co. that -they must- stop or a general strike, of all the union teanv sters in Chicago -will be 'called. It Is expected, that the demands of tho unions will be, without exception, refused by the employers.' Committees representing the unions called on a number of leading- business houses today and Informed thorn that they must at once cease doing business with Montgomery "Ward & Co., or a strike would be called. In every Instance they vere informed that the delivery of goods 'trill be continued. They were also told by the employers that, as members of the Employers' Association, it was impossible for them to refuse to transact business with another member. The committee will call upon the em ployers again tomorrow and renew the demand that was made today. It is not expected by anybody that the answer will he any different tomorrow from that given today. The sentiment among the 35,000 team eters who form the unions Is said to be overwhelmingly in favor of a strike unless the employers offer some sort of com promise. The employers declare that the very nature of the demand made by the teamsters makes any sort of compromise impossible. It is considered unlikely that the strike, if called, will be in effect before Monday. CHECK JAPANESE IMMIGRATION Hawaiian Delegates Desire It, as the Islands Are Half-Way House. WASHINGTON. April 21.-John Mc Gulre, a representative of the Trade and Labor Council of Honolulu, Hawaii, was in conference today with Secretary Mor rison, of the American Federation of La bor, relative to the immigration of Jap anese coolies ' to the Hawaiian Islands. He told Mr. Morrison that the Japanese are coming in large numbers, and that, as a rule, after remaining a short time, they continue their journey to the United States. The plan they pursue, according to Mr. McGuire's statement, Is to have as many come to this country from Ha waii as land there direct from Japan. Bv this means they keep down the num ber In the Islands and also find oppor tunity to learn the English language and to get a little money ahead before reach ing our shores. "They are unable to secure permits from their Emperor to come direct to the United States," said Mr. McGuire, "but they are getting here all the same. In Hawaii they are In all kinds of business except sugar-planting and are running others out." Mr. Morrison .-assured his caller that the Federation 1s taking steps to check this immigration. It is Intended to bring the matter before Congress very earnest ly at the next session. Will Avoid Building Strikes. NEW "YORK, April 21.

State's Attor ney Healy went before the grand jury- today and repeated to it a statement concerning the strike of garmentwork ors at Montgomery Ward & Co.'s, made to Mr. Healy yesterday by the Chicago Employers' Association. The jurors in formed Mr. Healy that they had de elded not to add further publicity to their proposed investigation of the strike. From other sources, however. it was ascertained that the grand jury proposed to make exhaustive inquiry into the causes of the garmentworkers' disagreement wJth Ward & -Co.

Chicago Policyholders Say Assets Are Being Wasfed. CHICAGO, April bill for the ap pointment of a receiver for'.tho -Equitable Life "Assurance Society of the United States and seeking an accounting was filed in. the United States Circuit Court here todayj.'by AttornejiD.J.iSchuyler. The petition is J5ied In the name ot-Abraham Sltroa and "others, policy-holders of the society. Sitron says he holds a 53000 policy in the society, and that his Inter ests are "being dissipated "by the officers ; and directors of the society. He names specifically President J. W. Alexander and Vice-President James H. Hyde." In the bill. President James W. Alex ander and Vice-Prfifdrtpnt James H. Hyde are charged with misappropriation of funds and mismanagement. The bill also declares that for 10 years the charter of the company and the laws of New York have been violated, inasmuch as the officials have failed to distribute the profits of the company among the policy holders. The complaining policyholders are seven in number, each holding poli cies of ?1000 to 52150. Mr. Schuyler, who filed the bill, said the complainants had ,a .meeting and decided to take the matter into the Federal Court, It is their wish, he said, to have a receiver appointed and the af fairs of the' society ended, so that the policyholders may have a just distribu tion of the funds and profits now on hand. No further steps than the request in the bill have been taken for the ap pointment of a receiver, but Mr. Schuyler said that within a few days he will go into court in this connection. The bill alleges for a number of months the president and vice-prfeldent and di rectors of the corporati Ji ,have engaged in" a controversy in 'reyUon to the man agement of the business transactions of the company, and vjso in relation to the disposition and custody of the . assets. This- controversy. It is declared, is proving detrimental and destructive to the, busi ness of the corporation and the Interest of the policy-holders. Tho controversy. it Is alleged, is between James "w. Alex ander and James H. Hyde and other offi cers of the society. The petitioners allege fear on their part that the controversy may result In the dissolution of the corporation. The bill further recites: James W. Alexander and James H. Hydo and certain directors and execu tive heads of the corporation -have in vio lation of the corporation's charter and the laws, fraudulently applied money and assets of the company to their own use and have fraudulently used, manipulated and dissipated and otherwise disposed of tne money and assets in such a way and manner that the corporation has lost money and assets so manipulated by Al exander. Hyde and other directors, and that Alexander, Hyde and the directors have made large profits as a result of these manipulations. The profits, while belonging t iiie corporation, have been unlawfully and fraudulently retained and appropriated by Hyde and Alexander to their own use, without any accounting for the assets so used or for the gains and profits so, as aforesaid, unlawfully and fraudulently made by them in the manipulation of the assets." Another allegation of the bill sets forth, "that one or more of the officers and directors under the unlawful and fraudulent guise of pretenses of promot ing the business of the corporation by advertising, have charged to the company large amounts expended by them for their own personal use and pleasure, and for which the corporation never received any benefits; and that the officials have paid back to the company out of the money taken from the assets and used for their own benefit and pleasure large sums of money, and that these sums are but an insignificant part of the amount drawn out of the assets of the corpora tion and appropriated by the officials for their own pleasure and -individual profit. and not for the benefit of the corporation or its policy-holders." The bill then asks that an account ing be given of the surplus and assets, In order that the amount of surplus for distribution may be ascertained. A reser vation is made in the petition, whereby all death claims may be paid should the affairs of the company be involved in litigation as a result of the bill. The bill also asks that the affair be re ferred to a master in chancery', so that the amount due to each policy-holder out of the surplus may be determined for the purpose of distribution. Tne petition further asks for an Injunction restraining the selling,, dealing, manip ulating or in any way disposing of the surplus and assets of the company, ex cept to pay death claims, and that a re ceiver be appointed to take charge of the money, property and asfets of the company.

It was impossible to handle the-great throng in one day, and at least 4000 would-be cltirens had to re main overnight aboard the ships on which they arrived, as 6000 Is the limit of Ellis Island's clearing capacity. Until last night 62.791 Immigrants had been landed this month, compared with 42,447 to the same date m April last year. An Attack of Croup Wanted Off.

FRANCE BETWEEN TWO FIRES Tries to Avoid War With Japan or Offense to Russia. PARIS. April 2L As a result of com munications between the governments of Paris and St. Petersburg the Russian gov ernment has forwards urgent orders to Admiral Rojestvensky to respect rigor ously the neutrality of French waters. This is a precautionary measure. In addition, special instructions have been sent to the Governor-General of Indo Chlna, M. Beau, and Foreign Minister Delcasse has instructed the, French Min ister at Tokio to give the Japanese Minis ter of Foreign Affairs assurance that it ia France's purpose to" observe strict neu trality, these being similar to the assur ances given to Dr. Motono, the Japanese Minister at Parts. According to the official view the fore going steps should exercise a distinctly calming influence upon Japan, as they show that France directly and through Russia has adopted all available means to Insure respect or neutrality of French waters. The officials say that the only addi tional measure open is the use of French warships to employ force in expelling Rojestvensky's squadron. Such a course, however, is said to be impossible, owing to the small number of French ships in Indo-Chinese waters. Moreover, as an official remarked, Franco Is not In tho habit of resorting to such extreme mea sures as using force. This is particularly true in the case of Russia, owing .to the complications which might arise from France adopting m forcible steps against Russia. Therefore, the Instructions al ready given from Paris and St. Peters burg are relied upon to prevent Admiral Rojestvensky from encroaching upon Prench territorial waters. Dr. Motono said his request was that France observe neutrality by adopting all the necessary measures for preventing Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron from re maining any longer In French territorial waters at Kamranh Bay. The Minister added that the Russian ships were quite inside French waters and not outside or them. Japan's representations have had the ef fect of bringing the Franco-Japanese In cident to the front rank of public atten tion. The leading newspapers here adopt the government view that Foreign Min ister Delensse's assurances calm the sit uation. Deputy de Lancssan (Radical Republican), the former Minister of Ma- rine, and at one time Governor of Indo Chlna, says Jn the Siecle: "We cannot Ignore the fact that the Japanese people are greatly excited Dy the war, and that public opinion may drive the Toklo Cabinet to take extreme action. We therefore insist that the Rouvler Ministry rapidly adopt steps m conformity with the interests of France and the maintenance of peace. All France agrees that the government has the duty of protecting French neutrality and thus preserving the world's peace." The Humanite, Socialist says: "If tho impending naval battle occurs in Indo-Chlna waters ""and the Russian squadron seeks refuge In our ports, then France may suddenly be dragged Into a conflict in spite of herself that would mean war, and the government, which through feebleness or blindness permitted such a catastrophe to occur, would bear one of the most, terrible responslDllities history has known." Three notices have been given of ques tioning the government in the Chamber of Deputies concerning the observance, of neutrality. M. de Pressense (Socialist) and M. Valiant (Blanquiet Socialist) will ask the government that measures be taken to guard the neutrality of French waters In the par East M. Deloncle (Re publican, representing Cochln-Chlna In the Chamber) will address a question to the Minister of the Colonies, asking what measures be intends to adopt to assure the maintenance of the neutrality of the waters of Indo-Chlna. The Minister of the Colonies has ac cepted a debate on M. Deloncle's ques tion for tomorrow. MM. de Pressense and Vail lan t ask that their questions be discussed today. The Temps says the in structions sent to Governor-General Beau require hlra to report the exact location Admiral Rojestvensky's ships, whether they are or are not within the three-mile limit. M. Beau's reply has not yet been received. The afternoon papers print a report that it Is the intention of tho gov ernment to send an armored cruiser to the Far East to assist in the surveillance of neutrality. This apparently is an out growth pf the Intention of the Marine Ministry to send an armored cruiser to replace the armored cruiser Sully, recent ly wrecked in Aliong Bay, Tonquin. TAFT RECEIVES COPY OF NOTE Informed by Japan What She Said to France. WASHINGTON, April 2L Mr. Hlokl, theJapanese Charge d'Affalres here has presented to Secretary Taft a copy of the note presented by the Japanese Min ister in Paris yesterday to the French Foreign Office in relation to the observ ance of neutrality toward Rojestvensky's fleet Secretary Taft, after reading the note carefully, forwarded It by mail to Secre tary Loeb for transmission to the Pres ident THis Is done merely for Informa tion, for the note Itself requires no action at this stage on the part of the Govern ment It is deemed best not to make public Us text here. A telegram was received by Secretary Uaft toaay trom secretary LoeD, an nouncing his return from the President's hunting camp and stating that he had mailed to Secretary Taft several com munlcations relating to matters of de partmcntal business which requires the President's action. There was' no Inti mation -that these related to foreign af fairs. WARNED TO LEAVE KAMRANH Russian Admiral Told His Stay En dangers French Peace. .FAKis, April zi. A telegram re ceived here from St Petersburg, and understood to be of official origin, says: "The Russian Admiralty has notified Admiral Rojestvensky of the grave danger to peace -which will be entailed If the stay or his squadron oft th coast of A'nnam is prolonged. contrary to the laws of -neutrality. No doubt Is entertained that the Admiral will carry out the formal instructions sent to him." JAPAN SAYS SHE HAS PROOF Denies There Is Doubt Russia Vio lated Neutrality. TOKIO, April' a (6 P. M.)-The Japan ese government continues, to maintain si lence regarding the Kamranh Bay-. IncI-, won't and It-Is understood the diplomatic correspondence 'on the subject , la not con cluded. It Is 'expectedthat prance will formally investigate the situation at Kamranh Bay. In the meantime the par ty leaders here arc counseling the Japan ese press to use greater moderation and calmness and to await the outcome of the negotiations. The assertions In the Paris press that proofs of the presence of vessels of the Russian squadron in Kamranh Bay and of a violation of French neutrality are lacking are sharply contradicted by tho Japanese, who assert that the evidence on the subject Is conclusive. They say that after all the question of proof rests with France, who possesses the evidence and whose neutrality has been violated. Premier Katsura and Foreign Minister Komura were received In audience by the Emperor of Japan today. RUMORS DOUBTED BY RUSSIA Does Not Believe Fleet Has Reached Formosa Straits. ST. PETERSBURG. April 21, 5:85 P. M. The latest word of Admiral Rojestvensky was the dispatch from the agent of the Finance Ministry at Shanghai saying the squadron had passed thrpugh the Straits or Formosa, but the authority given by the agent for his statement Is considered doubtful. The Admiralty professes a good deal of skepticism regarding all the dis patches from the Far East reporting the location of Russian vessels, pointing out that false news is likely to be set afloat deliberately. The officials -here neither deny nor affirm the report that Rojest vensky is still at Kamranh Bay. The Foreign Office displays no anxiety as a result of the protests made by Japan over the alleged violation of French ncu-' frailty, expressing confidence that when all the facta are known It will be found that the Russians did not violate the neu trality of France. Serious complications are not anticipated. The reiteration of the story that the Russian protected cruiser Askold. Interned at Shanghai, Is taking on coal and pre paring to slip out is again denied. Nothing has been heard from the fourth division of the Russian ajuadron, com manded by Admiral Nebogatoff. Most of the naval men express the opinion that Rojestvensky will not await a juncture with Nebogatoff, but will allow this weaker division to trail behind him. BRITAIN MAY SEND PROTEST When Franco Replies to Japan She May Speak. LONDON, April 21. All the government offices were closed today, and most of the officials were out of town, making it almost impossible, to secure an official statement regarding Great Britain's con templated or actual action In connection with the neutrality question in the Indo Chinese waters. The Associated Press is in a position to say, however, that the question was discussed yesterday between Baron Hayasbl, the Japanese Minister, and Foreign Secretary' Lansdowne. The Baron said to the Associated Press this afternoon that he was not prepared to discuss the question whether or not Great Britain would send a note to France on the subject. "It Is a pending matter," he said. "I am not prepared to make a' statement which might embarrass both my own govv crnment and the governmeent of Great Britain." It would appear, however, that ltns not improbable that Great Britain is awaiting France's reply to the Japanese protest be fore taking definite action. Sir Francis Bertie, the British Ambassador to France, left London lofiay for Paris, and it is con sidered likely that he Is the bearer of spe cial instructions from Foreign Secretary Lansdowne, directing him to take action under, certain eventualities. HAS NOT LEFT KAMRANH BAY Russian Fleet Awaits Arrival of Xe- uogatoff's Squadron. ST. PETERSBURG, April 2L The As eoclated Press Is Informed that no rep resentations have been made to Russia through the French Embassy here on the subject of Admiral Rojestvensky's stay at Kamranh Bay. There Is, no direct telegraph line to Kamranh Bay, and tho fact of a violation of neutrality would have to be established before any def inite response could be given td Japan or French representations on tho -subject made to Russia. Admiral de Jonqulerles, the French Naval Commander at Saigon, has already sailed from there for the purpose of investigating the matter. The following statement was made: "Rojestvensky Is still at Kamranh Bay or contemplates remaining there until Nebogatoff joins his ships. He will re main outside the three-mile limit, as he did during his long stay off Mada gascar. Naturally, Japan will file a caveat. Just as she would do with the United States If Rojestvensky should ap proach the Philippines. Japan's protest Is in the nature of a warning. The facts remain to be established." Lena Celebrated the Holiday. WASHINGTON. April 2L-Corre- spondence made public at the State De partment today, shows that when Count Cassinl, the Russian Ambassador at Washington, some time ago trans mitted a request of Captain Berllnsky, of the Lena, that he be allowed to cel ebrate the name day of his sovereign by hoisting the Russian flag, dressing his ship and firing the imperial sa- lute. Secretary Hay was unable . to grant permission to fire the salute, as i the Lena was disarmed. The Secretary j readily approved the remainder of the j programme. i "Will Keep Veterans at Work.

The little vil lage of St Genevieve Is in mourning to night over the-loss of 14 llves'In a fire which destroyed the convent of St Anno" there early today. One nun, nine chil dren, ranging in age from 10 to 1?, and four aged women perished in the flames. Two nuns were so severely burned that it is feared they will die. In their grief over the catastrophe, the villagers find some comfort In relating the heroism displayed by Sister Marie Adjuteur, who .gave up her life, and Sla ter Marie Therese and Marie Robertine, who were perhaps fatally burned. In their efforts to save the lives of the children and helpless old women In their charge. Following is the revised list of the dead and Injured: SISTER MART ADJUTEUR, music mistress, aged 32 years.

Bucket brigades were hurriedly formed by the villagers, but the fire had gained such headway that It was soon apparent that there was no chance to save tne building from destruction. Sister Ragettera, In her efforts to ave the lives of the children in her charge, succumbed to the smoke and flames. The pupils who perished were in a portion of the building where tho firo had obtained too much headway before the alarm was given to enable those who responded to effect their rescue. An effort was made to get Point Claire by telephone so that assistance could be had from Montreal, but for some reason no response was received from Point Claire. The fire started about midnight In the old ladles' hospital, and the smoke was so thick that the children on the floor above were unable to get down. The convent was called Ste. Anne's, and was a branch of the convent of the Sisters of Ste. Anne's of Lachine. The building was a gray stone structure, handsome in appearance, massive in character, and with the church it formed a central fea ture of the pretty little village. WHERE HAS MONEY GONE?

An eminent physician says thatj "Women are not truthful; they will lie ,to their physician." This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, hut not the whole truth, to a. male physician, hut this is only in re- fard to those painful and troublesome isorders peculiar to their sex. There can he no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to he obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician. This is especially the case with un married women.

This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now corre sponding with Mrs. Pinkham.
