" Last Night. WO DISTURBANCE REPORTED The Outcome of the Meeting of the State Federation of Labor, in Session Today, Be ing Watched Will State Wide Strike Be Caleld. DN1TED rnilSS LEASED WIBD. Philadelphia, Pa., March 8. The eyes of the strikers, of the opponents and sympathizers are turned today toward Newcastle, where the state Federation of Labor is in session. The labor men predict that the Federation will decide to call a sym pathetic strike of, union men and women throughout Pennsylvania. Business' men, however, declared that they do not expect such an ex- trome measure on the part of the state labor organization. The announcement of the possibil ity of a state-wide strike came as a surprise to the majority of citizens here. It is believed that only a few labor leaders knew such a plan was being considered by Federation leaders. Officials of the Philadelphia Transit-Company today announced that the strike of their carnen was "broken. They claimed that they were running a normal service. Their assertion was supported somewhat by an increased number of persons who rode on the cars. The heavy police guards and police patrol along the car lines was not withdrawn. No serious disturbance was re ported during the night and by day light tho city was quiet. It became apparent that both sides are playing a waiting game. A canvass by a leading newspaper here indicates that 35,000 union men have quit work. The city offi cials claim that only 20,000 men are out and that many are seeking to return to work. Union leaders, however, still maintain that 150,000 are out.

Di rector of Public Safety Henry Clay today requisitioned every police of ficer and detective that can be spared from patrol duty to search for a carload of dynamite that dis appeared mysteriously from the yards of the Pennsylvania railroad in West Philadelphia. The car containing the dynamite arrived here early yesterday. It was shunted into the West Philadelphia yards where it was thought It would not -be discovered by the strike sympathizers. Last evening tho yard officials telephoned to Clay the startling news that tho dynamite had disap peared. Clay immediately notified police authorities and two score of pollco detectives were detailed on the case. With the knowledge that hun dreds of sticks of explosive may be in tho hands of the strikers, the authorities arp confronted today with the actual situation they have feared since tho strike began." While it is not known positively that the explosive has fallen into the hands of the strikers, large quantities of dynamite seldom are stolen in times of industrial peace. It was reported today that a liberal reward would be paid by tho city, and a second by the company to which the shipment of dynamite wa3 consigned, for Information that would lead to the apprehension of the thieves. City authorities this afternoon an nounced that Information in their possession, indicated that nearly all members of tho building trades who struck last Friday at midnight, have returned to work. Strikers, however, deny any do- j fections and insist that more men joined the walkout today. As an indication of the quiet con ditions, Director of Public Safety Henry Clay, said that many .police, heretofore on almost constant duty, had been allowed to go to theJr "homes. LADY HARDER PAINTS. NEARLY CUTS PATRON Seattle, Wash., March 8. While shaving a customer in a Pike street barber" shop, Mrs. Daisy Lucas, aged 23, a woman barber, fainted and fell heavily against a partition, the razor just grazing tho patron's throat as she dropped. For two hours the woman was unconscious from tho scalp wound she received. The shop was in an uproar for a few moments, the occupant of Mrs. Lucas chair discovering lat er that half his face was shaved and the other half was still unshorn.

While an agreement will be entered into, it will, at its best be but of a temporary character, and the bound ary line question will never never be definitely settled until a survey is made, and it is accepted by legislative acts of the two states and by tho proper department at Washington. o Serving Time in Colorado. Sheriff Mento received a letter to day from Chief of Police Armstrong, of Colorado Springs, in answer to an inquiry from here regarding one Konrad Roskop, wanted in this city on a charge of forgery. Tho Colo rado officer states that Roskop is now serving between threo and five years in-the Canyon City peniten tiary, having been convicted of the same crime he committed here Several Salem people- were made victims of Roskop's spurious checks, among whom were Jacob Vogt; Hauser Bros., and a number of working men about the city. Sher iff Minto holds a warrant for Ros kop's arrest and will now bo com pelled to wait for the criminal's re lease.

Governor Benson, Master Fish Warden McAllister and Attorney General Crawford will leave this ev ening for Portland, where a confer ence will be held with the governor, the master fish warden and attorney general of Washington, with remtlon to tho boundary line as fixed by the supreme court between tho states of Washington and Oregon. The fish commissions of tho two states .recently met and decided upon tho boundary line, so far as the col lection of licenses for traps Is eon corned, but this question will likely' be reviewed tomorrow. The main question to be considered, however. is the fixing of the boundary line with J regard to the taxation of property, bo Maud Powell arrived in Salem th!s morning from Portland, where she gave a concert last night at the Bungalow. She spent a greater part of the day in walking around the city and admiring its many beauties. She was greatly Impressed with the clean appearance of the streets, and well kept lawns nnd particularly with tho moss on some of tho old residences of tho city. Tho Oregonian of today tells us that, in a neat little speech, she in troduced a novelty to her audience in the Bhapo of a cake-walk, writ ten by Debussy for his five-year-old daughter, naming it the "Golliwog's Cakewalk." Owing to tho stringent French copyright law Mme Powell has had to wait long for, permission to transcribe the work for violin and for th'ls reason it has not been printed in her program tonight. Sho will, however, , Include it in tho group which follows the Concerto. It comes somewhat of a shock to read that Mme. Powell has placed this piece on her repertoire until one has .heard the art with which sho plnyB It. Debussy has been lucky Jn catching tho American spirit and still more so to have the Interpretation given in Mme. Pow ell's own exquisite way. Waldomar Llachowsky, who accompanies Mine. Powell, Is a pianist of repute. He will give a couple of solos, JUST'BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO A SQUARE AND' OPEN FIGH The Windy City Is?

Betting at odds of 3 to 1 that Hiram" C. Gill will carry every ward in the city and win by a majority of 7,000 show the confidence of the Ropub llcan forces and their candidates for Mayor in today's municipal election here. Gill polled 17,000 votes In the primary against 14,000 for A. V Bouillon, his Republican opponent, Tho Democratic vote cast was ex ceedlngly small. Indications point to an easy if not an overwhelming victory, for the Republican candl date. However a large part of tho 14,000 opposition votes In tho prl mary- will probably go to the Dem ocratlc candidate, William Hickman Moore, today. Tho fight Is squarely on tho lssuo of a "wide open city." Moore is- a former mayor of Seat tle. Gill has been president of tho City Council for some years. In tho primary, campaign, Gill was ' outspoken In fflivor off a more liberal city administration while Bouillon represented the reform elo ment. Mooro is understood to favor a ".closed town and a conservative government, which has been the condition in Seattle for a number of years. By giving Gill an over whelming majority in the primary voting, Seattle citizens clearly indi cated that they have tired of tho closed town and that thoy aro readv to emulate tho example of San Fran cisco in this respect.

"I am not In sympathy with the movement," declared Gompers, to tho disappointment of local Prohibition' ists, who had hoped for a declaration supporting their cause. Gompers remarks followed an In vitatlon extended him by local option ists to address a meeting. The labor leader refused, and his refusal effee tlvely blocked an attempt by tho op tionists to got him to declnro himself, in the hobo that organized labor woulu be Induced to endorse the cru sade for a "dry Chicago," PASSE THREE D IN SES In a ruling made on a motion for the dismissal of the appeal from tho decree in tho equity court for Grant county in the case of Napoleon Neal against Miles Roach, the supreme court this morning held that tho ground set forth In support of tho motion that of tho failuro of the ap pellant to furnish the court with a transcript of tho evidence in tho case, was not sufficient, and the motion was denied. The case was Instlti .-J la tht Grant county court for the determin ation of certain wntor righto between the partlM, and from the decree of the court an appeal wus prosoouted to the supreme Court.

Edmond Duez, tho government liquidator was charged today with having embezzled approximately $1, 000,000 in both monoy nnd prop erty from tho government. According to tho charge, Duez embezzled tho great sum when property of tho Catholic Church in France was confiscat ed by tho government, nt tho timo the church and stato wore separated recently. the testimony, but it was developed by affidavits submitted by the appel lant that shortly after tho trial of the case, and bofore tho extension of the stenographic notes, tho court report er died. An effort had been made since then to have other stenograph ers transcribe his notes, but they had proven unsuccessful, and it was asked that tho case be remanded for the purpose of retaking tho testiomny. Tho court, however, held that tho ground was insufficient, and did not heed the request of tho appellant to have the case remanded. But Two Other Cases. But two other cases were decided by 'the court today that of Ella Tal bot against W, K. Smith Security, Savings & Trust Company, and that of E. H. Moorehouse & Company against the Wfclster Company, both from Multnomah county. The former was brought for the purposo of quieting title to a tract of land, and a verdict had been rendered for tho defendants in the lower court. Tho supreme court sustained' the de cision. Tho second case was brought for the purpose of recovering monoy due for the sale of goods and merchan dise, and a verdict had been rendered for tho plaintiff in tho lnforlor court, but it was reversed today by the su preme court, because of an errone ous instruction.
