FOR TOMORROW
May be Followed by Sympa
thetic Walk-out Alleged
Plot Discovered byv
Detectives
(By Associated Press.)
New York, Sept. 13. The Inter-
borough Rapid Transit and the New
York Railway's Companies formally
rejected today the public service com
mission's recommendation for a
strike settlement.
The two companies, controlling the
subway. "L" and "Green" car sur
face lines, declined to hold further
conferences with Union representa
tives and announced their intention
to continue operation of their lines
on present basis.
Brooklyn detectives, it was disclos
ed today, are investigating reports
of a plot to damage the property oft
the Interborough company. A cylin
drical package, 4 inches by 3 inches
in diameter, was found by a track
walker near Borough Hall subway
station, in Brooklyn, last night. It
contained, according to officials, dyna
mite of the powerful kind, general
ly used in undersea, operations.
But few of the surface cars were
operated today and passengers were
forced to use the
roads. Although
subway and "L"
traction officials i
claims more trains tfaan normal are
in operation there was congestion at
the station. Platforms- were crowd
ed and many narrow escapes were
experienced by passengers. There
was little or no violence during the
night, due especially to the fact that
policemen were stationed on roof
tops from where attacks were made
en "L" trains.
Hugh Frayne, state
organizer off
the American Federation of Labor,
announced today that between 12,000
and 20,000 will take part in the pa
rJde and demcfistration tomiMTqwt
Although he declined to discuss the
proposed "sympathetic" strike, other
Union leaders said plans were be
ing made to call out all trades close
ly allied with the street car lines in
the event the demonstration tomor
row and the efforts of the public ser
vice commission prove unavailing to
settle the trouble.
Following the reply of the traction
companies the strikers, through Wil- j
mm d. uzgeraia, general orpmsr
ui iuv hireet car employes uuiuu, .u- .
formed the committee that the strik
ers could not accede to the request of
the commission to bring the strike
to an immediate conclusion, in view t
of the stand taken by the traction com
panies. He accepted, in behalf of the
union, the recommendation that the
questions at issue be submitted to ar

(Special to The Dispatch.) ;
Raleigh, N. C, Sept 13. Henry B.
Varner, chairman . of the state prison
board, attended the meeting of that
body yesterday and returned home in
the afternoon.
Mr. Varner is just' back from' Lex

there Charles Evans Hughes, Republi
can candidate for the presidency, came
in the hotel at which Mr. Varner was
stopping. The Lexington, North Caro

judge.
"Fairbanks is super-heat in compari

that doggone man came into that hotel,
he didn't create as much excitement as
I would have done had I turned up -at

where probably ninety percent of the
people would have been against me.
Teddy. Taft or Wilson would have
caused the hotel guests to tear down
the house. But they d'idVt seem to
pay a particle of attention to Hughes.
I think if we can't beat him we might
as well go out of business.
"WoodrowWilson is running in the

lieve they can beat him, not with
Hughes. And understand that in say
ins: this I don't pretend to be the orig

never was for Wilson until after he
was nominated. I was for Underwood.
But Wilson is the greatest fellow in

AGAIN FAILS TO
Ml
L
Old Trouble Breaks Out
. Again Jn Wake County i
lownship
(Special to The Dispatch.)
Raleigh, N. C, Sept 13.-County
Superintendent D. F. Giles vainly
strove to open Mount Vernon School
! yesterday morning, but when he closed
his beautiful appeal to the manhood of
the place, parents led away their chil
dren1 and precipitated the old trouble.
The school failed last year when J.
R. Medlin's children, about the like
liest looking to be found, it is said,
came for registration. Mr. Medlin's
children were pronounced pure-blooded
by the superior court, by the su
preme and by all the law that could
be scraped up. They were therefore
within their perfect rights. But the
neighborhood swears by all the horns
of the altar tat they have an infinitesi
mal tinge of black blood in tern and
the community will not support the
scnooj
year when SuperIntendent Giles
. . . toQnWa
out there the
school broke into hostile camp and a
subscription session was taught near
that place which is three miles from
Raleigh. Mr. Medlin thought he had
overcome the prejudice which is not
against him, and announced that forty
or fifty would stick this year. They
did show up today and Mr. Giles is
against his immeorial trouble.
The community has not persecuted
the Medlins. It has simply refused
S attend the school since the Medlin
ixed-blood controversy arose. When
it came up the board of education ruled
against the Medlins. They appealed to
the superior court and there the jury
deciding the issues of fact pronounced
the children of pure blood. The appeal
went up. and Chief Justice Clark writ
ing the opinion relied upon the jury.
Justice Walker dissented. This morn
ing Professor Giles tried to appeal to
the community by telling it that its
citizenship, good and true, had decid
ed the children - all white. The pat
rons demurred to his flattery. They
said the jury had been picked for a
peculiar purpose.
Mr. Giles naa commissionea air. aua r
Mrs. R. L. Hoke to teach the school
and these be good people, relatives of
the soldiers and jurista who bear that
name, it is said. The teachers began
as though they had never heard of trou
ble. They, weren't troubling trouble
until trouble trbiibled them. Which
was uncommonly early.
