TTp by Employes' Demands Pro
duction of Paper Ceases
In New England.
NEW YORK. Aug. 4. General Man
ager Whltcomb, of the International
Paper Compnny, made a statement late
yesterday, embodying the attitude toward
the strike which now. It Ms said. Is In
force In all its paper mills. He said:
"A strike started at all the paper
mills of the International Paper Com
pany this morning, practically closing
all the mills operated by the corpora
tion that were manufacturing paper.
Only a few of the ground wood mills
and sulphite mills are as yet affected,
although it Is possible that, if the
strike continues, all of the plants of
the cor.pany will be closed In due time,
as it is not practicable for the company
to run its nulp mills for any great
period, Vrhile the paper mills are not
in operation. The company employs ap
proximately 1000 expert paper-machine
operators and about 6500 other mill em
ployes, not taking into consideration
wood operators."
Sir. Whltcomb continued:
"It happened that a few foremen be
longed to the Papermakers" Union. The
salaries of the foremen were for the
time being reduced approximately
seven per cent, this reduction being the
only change that has become effective."

AUTO G0ES OVER CLIFF
lodges In Tree and Occupants Are
Miraculously Saved.
NEW YORK. Aug. 4. United States
District Attorney Baker, of Washington,
who successfully prosecuted the Govern
ment land frauds in the Northwest, and
his bride of two months and several
friends who were accompanying them on
their honeymoon, had a most miraculous
escape from death today. While the au
tomobile in which they were traveling
was running down a sharp hill on Wal
nut Mountain, near Liberty, N. Y., the
machine got out of control and plunged
over a precipice nearly 300 feet in height.
The machine, a big covered car, turned
three complete somersaults in the air
and lodged in the boughs of a tree 30
feet from the brink of the precipice.
There it hung suspended top downward,
with the frightened occupants held pris
oners In the inclosed top of the machine.
All were badly bruised and frightened,
but none was seriously Injured with the
exception of . the chauffeur. His skull
was fractured, one of his ears was torn
off and he sustained other injuries. He
was taken to a hospital In Liberty for
treatment.
Those In the car with Mr. Baker and
his wife were Dr. G. E. Jelliffe, the alien
ist, who testified In the Thaw trial, and
M. Mangan, of Washington. As soon as
they were rescued from their perilous po
sition in the suspended automobile the
party came to New York and after a
rest at the Hotel Astor, started for their
homes.
LOW RATES FOR JAPANESE
Kailroads Promise Steamship Lines
to Keep Tariffs Down.
TOKIO, July 16. via San Francisco,
Aug. 4. It appears that the strenuous
exertion made by the Nippon Yusen
Kalsha Steamship Company and others
to induce the American railway com
panies to reconsider the proposed
schedule of rates has been attended
with some measure of success. The
railway companies are now said to
have cabled the directors of the Nippon
company in the sense that rates will
be kept down to the San Francisco
level.
The Japanese Boyekl Kyokai also has
received from the railway control bu
reau at Chicago an assurance that as
this question of rates closely concerns
the trade between the two countries
every effort will be made to arrange a
mutually satisfactory schedule. Nagoya
and Seto have also cabled to the same
bureau in Chicago and have urged that
the projected Increase of rates would
be fatal. These two places are the
great centers of Japanese porcelain
manufacture. They export 5,000.000 yen
worth of Keramic ware annually to
America and they have hitherto paid
20 yen a ton for transportation. Under
the new schedule, however, they will
have to pay 30 yen, and this would
mean that the Sues route must be
chosen in preference tothe American.

BALKY AUTO IS BLAMED
Indirectly Caused Its Wealthy
Owner's Death in Desert.
SAN FRANCISCO. Ang. 4. The story
of the desert tragedy in which Frank
D. Spaulding, of this city, lost lus life
from heat prostration near Yuma, Ariz.,
on Friday, was brought here yesterday
by T. P. McCauley, Spaulding's chauf
feur, who narrowly escaped a similar
fate.
The machine in which the men were
making their, way U the Gunshalght
mine, in which Spaulding was Interest
ed, had been behaving badly, and they
had been forced to cllmD out to over
haul its mechanism- many times. Go
ing up a grade with the sun beating
mercilessly on them, the car balked
again, and McCauley climbed out to
repair It, but -dropped in the sand,
overcome by the heat. He was aroused
hours later by a Mexican, and discov
ered that Spaulding had evidently at
tempted to come to his assistance, only
to fall before the fierce attack of the
sun. When McCauley went to him.
Spaulding was near the end. A wagon
was secured and the stricken man tak
en to the railroad, but could not be
brought back to life.
McCauley says that Spaulding's death
was due to the fact that he could not
withstand the heat, owing to his great
exhaustion from the hard work" over
the balky machine.

LONDON. Aug. 4. (Special.) Ger
man spies are all over England, if one
Is to believe the daily stories of certain
English newspapers, which let no op
portunity go by to preach that war be
tween England and Germany is inevit
able, and that the Kaiser will choose
his own time to start it. All along the
coasts of Great Britain, these papers
say, the spies sent from the Fatherland
are swarming and making notes, draw
ing maps and photographing fortifica
tions, all this material to be used for
the threatening invasion.
Circumstantial stories have been
printed describing how mysterious
German spies were living next door to
every postofflce on the east coast and it
was actually declared that a party of
German officers were executing a "staff
ride" in Epping forest, the approach to
London from the northwest. When ques
tions were asked in Parliament about
these alarming stories the Secretary of
War, Mr. Haldane, refused to take them
seriously.

Lincolnshire stated at a meeting of the
local board of freeholders that he had
obtained Information about the supposed

that might have given rise to the ru

Poison Found in Body.

Instigation of Rev. Father P. J. O'Cal

members of the Vzral family, has re
vealed the presence of arsenic.
The theory of Father O'Callaghan Is
that Blllik is Innocent of poisoning the
Vzral family. Previous to the exami
nation of the Niemann body he said that
In the event the poison was discovered
he would Insist on the indictment of
a woman connected with the Vzral and
Niemann families.

S INSULT BETTERS
ENGLISH WOMEN, EVEN WITH
ESCORTS, NOT SAFE IN INDIA.
Courts, Composed of Native Judges,
Unable to Cope With Growing
Arrogance of People.
LONDON. August 1. (Special.) A
woman who recently returned from In
dia writes to the n wspapers saying
that during the month of May ten se
rious outrages by natives against Anglo-Indians
were ropo. ted in the pa
pers. Probably only one or two out of
every 20 cases of assault and Insult, es
pecially against women, find their way
into the papers. The assurance with
which natives set about to insult Eng
lish women may lie Intitanced by quot
ing the case of the wife of a civilian
recently traveling from Asausol to Cal
cutta. She was provided with escort
in the shape of a European sergeant
who traveled In the same carriage with
her. but in spite of this, some Bengali
youths in the next carriage got out at
every station and shouted Insults at
ber. Tills case was not reported. Sir
Ranipfylde Fuller states that ladies in
Bengal are unable to go out alone, anil
are liable to Insult even when escorted.
