Deputy President R, t Glover of Bt Loula, of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, made the following statement last night: "The strike of the operators of the Missouri, Kansas-A Texas system Is due to the refusal 'of a demand for an Increase of wanes amounting. to' about 10 per cent and several other demsnds affecting the promotion and government of operators.

CONTEST INVOLVING A MILLION IS NOW ON OTHERS ENTER SLAVERY FOUND DRUGGED, S NOW MISSING ii ' - -' ;4' Walter Smith" Is ; Found - Gagged .V and Xhloro " formedHe Is Now' Hissing and No Que to Him or Guilty Parties Is Found. 1- ; waiter Smith, aged 11 .years, was kicked in the" stomach, bound hand and foot with towel and. ropes, gagged with a rag and chloroformed In a lonely spot at East Thirty-fourth and Harrison streets at o'clock last night by un known persona. Mystery surrounds ths ease, -and -althugh-th-pollc have been working en It sine it waa flrat re ported, no arrests have been made and no solution Of the sensational deed la at hand. Young . Smith was badly Injured by th kick he received and th rough treatment generally. He waa attended by a physician- and later taken away. but where he 1 now th polio are un able . to ascertain.' Efforts were made today to locate him, but .they failed. He told Mrs. . . Ktngslsy, at -whose houa he called last night, that he pur posed hiding from th police, and she declares he did not even tell her where be would go. Bobbery Vot te Motive. Detective Hartman, who vat assigned to th oas this morning.. Is unable to stat at this time his opinion of th af fair, but says It .is perhaps ' ths most mysterious oas he ever worked on. . No robbery waa perpetrated, according to all interested part lea A purse contain ing 1100 in gold was left in his Inside coat pocket, and his watch was not touched. Therefor th theory of rob bery say Mr. Hartman, Is hardly th correct one. He declares revenge 1 the only object he can see In the attack, but who the guilty parties are he Is unable to state. The assault was th most peculiar re ported to th police for many montha. It took plaoe about 10 or It minutes after timlth Ma th Klngeley home. 211 Marguerite avenue. He waa found lying next to the sidewalk by two women from Woodstock. They ran to the home of Mrs. W. G. Ksnt to give the alarm, and when they had returned Miss Hattle Klngsley and her father, David Kings- ley, bad arrived on the scene. Neither of the Klngsley would talk about th case today Another Mystery. Prior to hi departure. Smith, left hi hat, a white one with a bead band, at the Klngsley home. When Miss Hattle Klngsley reached him she waa seen to place th band In Smith's coat pocket and his hat on his head. -Just why Smith should leave the Klngsley home alone and . without hi hat, walk to J he spot where he was assaulted, which is four block away, la something the po lio want to know, but have not yet learned. The coincidence, the police de clare, IS- most striking, especially so, when It is said that Smith and Miss Klngsley are -engaged to be married. ' And Another.. The rapid arrival of Mr. Klngsley at th scene, when there had been no out cry, and no on had called him, is an other peculiar thing, according to the police. The reticence of the Klngsley and their refusal to permit the police to enter their home thl morning 1 also regarded as-strange. f Mrs. W. Q. Kent, living at 10X4 Haw thome avenue, was at the scene soon after the vtctlra waa found, and heard him calling: Don't kill me. don't kJU me." "I saw both Miss Klngsley and her father there," said . Mr. Kent, "but neither, seemed at all excited and. Mia Klngsley assured us there was.no rob bery.' Bh said two men had, been, fol lowing him two days; that they had rented a room next hla . at th St. Charles hotel and he thought they were trying f.o rob him; that he went out alone after them and met them and that th assault was th result." On of th women from ' Woodstock had a pair of scissors and cut the towels and ropes used to bind Smith. They , were wound very tightly around his legs and arma and there was a -rag in his mouth. The odor of chloroform, witnesses say, was strong at first Smith. Is from Lo Angeles.- He ha been attending- a local business college. He was formerly bell boy at the Es mond hotel. First and Morrison streets, but left recently. - ARGBURTII WRECKED ON NEW GUINEA COAST ' t (Journal Special Service.) Liverpool, Aug. i.
