STAMPEDE TO RESUME W0KK New York Car Strike Fails, and Many Men Are Out. NEW "XORK, March 1L Realizing that their fight against the Interbor ough Company has been lost the old employes of the Subway and Elevated railways today crowded the Offices of toe company seeking their former post tlons. Some 3000 men applied for rein statement but not more than 500 were accepted, the officials professing to be satisfied with the men "who had enabled them to break the strike and announced that in future rules as to sobriety would be more strictly adhered to. All applicants were notified that they would have to pasi the physical exam i nation and go to work as new men, which means that those who went on strike would lose their seniority and the increased pay that thoy had won for length of service It -was announced at the Interborouga Company's office today that In re-era-ploylns the old men and taking: on new ones a rule against Indulgence in liquor which will be more rigidly enforced than any other, has been put in force. All men employed must sign a contract not to drink. To enforce this rule the company has established a system of espionage. Messrs. Jencks and Pepper, toe strike leaders, admitted that the fight had been lost and advised the men to get back their positions if they could. As for themselves, the officers said that they would not again work for the company. Mr. Jencks held the press re sponsible for tiio result contending tha1 the papers had aroused a hostile senti ment. The strikers bitterly denounce their leaders, saying the men were deceived by them. The service on he Subway and Ele vated systems has not reached the effi ciency yet that prevailed before the strike, but with the old men again at work and the incompetents among the new men weeded out the company promises that regularity and frequency of trains by Monday morning will be resumed. The surface cars were still crowded today, the more timorous as yet being unwilling to trust themselves in trains operated by inexperienced men. Fewer accidents, and they of a trivial nature, occurred during the day. FINE WAR PICTUEES. Consul Miller Lectures Tuesday and Wednesday Nights.

To make certain that the senti ments expressed would be brought before the authorities, a committee of IS South Portland residents was appointed to wait on ' tho City Council and the Executive Committee of the Council and present the resolution with, a view to have the relief asked for by the taxpayers in that dis trict granted.

The meeting opened with Judge John F. Caples In the chair and William C Sea chrest as secretary. Mark O'Neill out lined the object of the meeting and re viewed the necessity for It He demon strated that the property coming within the fill district for taxation was bearing a heavy burden lor such improvement, and he thought an unjust burden. Hints that there might be graft connected with the improvement were dropped and the speaker did not hesitate to say that he thought the price paid for the improve ment under the contract was excessive. He also intimated that the contractors were being paid for more than they really did, and that this was the basis for the IllliK Little Willie's ; Letter to Mama e Dear Mama: I saw the handsomest little suits for Boys of my age and all other sizes displayed in the windows of the Famous Clothing Company's store,.down oh Morrison and Second.
