usually large attendance of members.
The visitors' gallery was packed to tts

There was an accumulation of over
Sunday buying orders, and the prin

movement. Union Pacific opened with
a block of 14.000 shares at from 184

smaller gains, Atchison selling at 105, the
highest price In Its history. Realizing In

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 20. Accord
ing to a report received here from the
East yesterday, John D. Rockefeller
has under consideration a proposition
to endow a home for chorus girls to
the extent of $100,000. The project, it

ter to the oil king. His donation was
conditional on a like amount being
raised by Miss Cahill and those inter
ested with her. The home will serve

Railroads Are Short of Men.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 20. Railroads enter
ing Pittsburg are in Bore straits for men
to man their trains. Some of them have
raised the age limit established for new
employes some years ago, while others
are abandoning it altogether. The tre
mendous increase in freight business finds
them all short-handed, while at the same
time the Western roads are draining the
Eastern market of all available men to
help move the phenomenal crops. Adver
tisements are appearing in th local pa
pers for men to fill positions as brake
men and conductors, wages are being ad
vanced and every effort made to Increase
the working forces before the heavy rush
of Fall freight business causes a complete
blockade.

Invited Out for a Time, He Falls
in Hands of Hold-Up Man.
His Friend in Jail.
J. E. Burgess and F. Shadon were held
up and robbed about 1 o'clock this morn
ing, on the corner of Park and Davis
streets. Burgess had Just arrived in town
from Albany, where he had been working
for the Southern Pacific, and he yielded
his savings of several months to the
amount of $100. Shadnn is a bartender in
the Seattle Cafe. His possessions con
sisted of but $2.70.'
The police are working on the theory
that the hold-up man was a pal of Sha
don's and that the affair was a pre
arranged deal to relieve Burgess of his
money. Accordingly, the barkeeper was
locked up on suspicion, and the police
hope soon to locate the third man in the
game.
Burgess had made the acquaintance of
Shadon early In the evening. He had
been drinking and displayed the amount
of his earnings to the barkeeper. The
latter immediately became friendly and
suggested a plan whereby they might go
out for a time. According to the tale of
Burgess, they had progresesd but a short
distance when a heavy-set, masked man
stepped from a dark corner and ordered
both to throw up their hands, with the
threat, "I'll blow your heads off!" Sha
don's hands went up readily, but, svhen
Burgess showed fight, Shadon persuaded
him also be passive and submit to a
search.
When brought before Sergeant Jones
and Captain Bailey at the police station
Shadun's nerve failed him and he shook
like a leaf. ' Subjected to a rigid exam
ination, he was unable to reply readily.
Captain Bailey recognized him as having
been mixed up In similar escapades and
bad him put behind the bars on short
notice.
