UNITED niMS LEASED WIIU
fteir York, Nov. 4. A general
strike of teamsters called In sympu
thy with the drivers for the express
companies, is expected to result
from the mass meoting of the team
sters' unions scheduled for this af
ternoon. In labor circles It Is pre
dicted that 30,000 men will be called
out and that the traffic of New York
city will come to a standstill.
The expected Btrlke follows a long
conference held Inte yesterday be
tween representatives of the unions
and the express companies. The
latter flatly refused to consider the
question of recognition of the union
under any circumstances. It was on
this point that the final split at the
conference came.
Vice President Hoffman nnd Gen
eral Organizer Ashton, of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Teamsters,
who were present at the conference,
predicted thnt the strike would bo
called and warned the express com
panies to accede to the union As-

The maBs meeting this afternoon
was called for a double purpose. It
the conference yesterday had
reacnea an agreement, Its ternij
would have been submitted to the
men. Since no agreement was
reached, the strike order will be
voted on. The strike Is sanctioned
by Aahton and Hoffman and It Is
probable that they will be upheld ty
the men.
The teamsters endeavored to
check the movement of express wa
gons, today by a new method. They
called on Tollce' Commissioner
Cropsey to arrest the strikebreakers
who are driving for tho companies,
on the ground that they are riot
licensed. An old New YorK ordi
nance provides that tho drivers
themselves must own the city !Icem;

Chicago, Nov. 4. There were
no disturbances during the gar
merit workers' strike up to noon

zled by the apparent stagnation
of the strike. Pickets, though
they took . their places before
the establishments affected
by the strike, were not active
and paid no attention to tho
strikers as they came and went.
The union leaders say that the

Uotse, Idaho ,Nov. 4, Con-
vlnced. that the public drinking
cup is responsible for the spread
of contagious diseases, the
Idaho State Board of Health
has instituted a state-wide cam
paign to abolish its use in Ida
ho. The board has requested the
co-operation of railroads, elec
trlo lines, schools and state and
county officials.
According to Dr. Ralph Falk,
secretary of the board, today,
the campaign is proving a suc
cess. pany, of New York. Other persons of
lesser importance In the community
are likewise involved.
Those whoso names are Involved
are not charged as guilty of any
crime, however. They are merely
mentioned as assignees of one or
more of the groups of the 131 claims
that it is alleged an attempt has been
made to secure by fraud. Each claim
aggregates 160 aoree.
It is believed probable that thou
sands of acres of coal land will even

OFFICERS HAVE SUSPICIOUS
BUT ARE HOT SATISFIED
ENOUGH TO MAKE ARREST
Evidence Indicates That Roberts Was Made to Get Out of His
Buggy, and That a Struggle Ensued in Which Roberts
Grasped His Assailant's Wrist This Would Explain the
Bullet Striking Him in the Top of His Head Probably Also
Roberts Dropped Purse Before Getting Out, to Save It.
That J. E. Roberts came to his
death "by a gunshot wound in the
brain, by the hand of an unknown
party or parties" was the verdict of
the coroner's jury which sat upon
the lnqutst held over the remains of
the late Mr. Roberta, who was mur
dered and robbed In the covered
bridge over South Mill creek, near
the reform school, Tuesday evening,
after hearing the testimony of sev
eral witnesses In the case. The Jury
was composed of L. C. Cavanougb,
foreman, Frank Morrison, W. D.
Wheeler, R. II. Hagan, Felix D. Da
vis and W. L. Miller.
Although District Attorney John
II. McNary conducted a very search
ing investigation of the details ct
the crime, as related by the wit
nesses, no light was shed upon the
perpetrntlon of the deed or the Iden
tity of the murderer and the whole
affair la enshrouded In the deepest
of mystery. Sheriff Mlnto and Depu-
Rumored King Is Assassinated
London, Nov. 4. The. Star
today publishes a rumor that
King Alfonso has been assas

clare that the Spanish ruler has
gone to Cludadreal, 170 miles
from Madrid, on a shooting
expedition.

ty Sheriff Esch, who have been de
voting their entire attention to the
ferreting out of tho Identity of the
slayer of Mr. Roberts, have ob
tained no clue whatever that will
lead to the discovery and arrest of
the guilty party or parties and the
whole affair remains unsolved, both
bs to the Identity of the party wh
committed the crime as well as the
exact amount of money that was so
cured. The witnesses examined at the
coroner's Inquest this morning were;
Sheriff H. P. Mlnto, Deputy Sheriff
William Esch, Chief of Police W. D.
Gibson, D. Evans, Dr. J. N. Smith.
Earl Gardner and Roscoe Sholton,
all of whom told the same stories
that have heretofore been related In
the Capital Journal but none of
them was able to shed any light up
on the mystery.
It is evident, from the circum
stances snrroundlng the case.Vthat
Mr. Roberts, after being compelled
to alight from his buggy, had a
struggle with his assailant and that
he had grasped the wrist of the par
ty who held the gun and this ex
plains the mystery of the two shots
which passed through Mr. Roberts'
hat and the fact that the shot which
proved fatal, entered the head from
the top and ranged downward. Mr.
Roberts bad been known to have
made the remark that If anyone at
tempted to hold him up, he would
not accomplish his purpose without
a struggle and this further strength-
