Leads aUNorthGarolinaDailiesinNews and Circulation DISASTER SEEMS TO THREATEN THE STRIKERS As Yet But 14,000 Men Have Obeyed Shafer’s Order. WESTERN MEN REFUSE At Chicago, Joliet, Bay View and in Ohio Workers Disappoint Him. a ii ■■■ THIS MATTER IS TO BE INVESTIGATED Meanwhile More Men Are Now Joining Strikers. Prospects of Greater Accessions Seem Good. An Appeal to Organized Labor For Aid. (By the Associated Press. Pittsburg, Pa., August 12. —The struggle for mastery between manufacturers and men in the steel industry is now fairly launched, and on the first show of strength advantage is with the former. The general strike order issued by Presi dent Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Asso ciation, has so far been obeyed by about 14,000 men, according to the best figures obtainable here. The first two prelimi nary calls were answered by about 40,000 men, so that the total number now out is in the neighorhood of 60,000. The strikers made gains here today over the showing of last night and their prospects for further accessions at both Mceesport and Wheeling during the week are very favorable. The action of the Amalgamated men at Chicago, Joliet and Bey View in refusing to come out and their failure to secure any recruits in the Carnegie group throughout the Kiskime tas Valley and the big plants at Youngs town and Columbus. Ohio, have been markedly disapointing to them. They are keeping up the fight, however, in a spirit ed manner and claim that they have strength in reserve which will surprise their opponents. They assert that they have gained a foothold in the Carnegie mills in this city and at the time desired the men will come out. They are press ing their advantages at McKeesport and Wheeling and their organizers are still at work in those two cities. President Shaffer has decided to per sonally visit Wheeling and will go there Wednesday to address a mask meeting of his followers. He plans to spend to morrow here directing the, fight and con ferring with his assistants as to plans for the future. An appeal for financial aid hag been made to organized labor and the general public and it is expected that the responses to it will be liberal. The Amalgamated leaders were not dis posed to do much talking today. They would not discuss the desertion of their Western fellows, although Mr. Shaffer made what was evidently intended for a brief reference to them in a short state ment he gave out at noon. Another dec laration in the same interview was re garded as highly significant here. It was to the effect that no effort would be made to call out members of the Ameri can Federation of Labor and that any action on their part must be voluntary. Th men who are directing the fight in the field for the Steel Corporation and Its constituent companies would give no in dication of their plans for the future aud only discuss the situation generally. Their reports showed the Carnegie group, South Chicago, Bay View, oliet, Youngstown, Columbus, the Kiskiminetas Valley group, Wellsville and Monessen were moving along wull-handed. Bellaire, their ad vices showed, was badly crippled but had held on until five o’clock in the after noon and would be started up again to morrow. They admitted the loss today of the National Rolling Mill at McKees port, which they had .expected to hold and that the oston mill and Monongahela Steel Works at McKeesport and the Re public and Elba here were tied up. Their tube workers at McKeesport and here were still at work but menaced by a pos sible shortage of material. Their tube men at Wheeling were out but the fur nace and coke men there were at work and their ateel men there showed an in clination to stay on unless intimidated. They also claimed that many of their men at McKeesport desired to work but were being terrorized by the disorderly ele ment. They also charged that many of their men were fribhtened from their places at Wheeling and insisted that ade quate protection for the men there would insure continued operations. It was also stated by the Steel officials that Clarke Mills, here, was moving along with its non-union crews engaged last week and that another mill manned by old Amal gamated men had started up at Wells ville, representing a gain of one there since Saturday. Officials of the National Tube Com pany and Mayor Black clashed today over the question of protection for non-strikers and property. A large crowd of strikers assembled around the works this morn ing and their pickets intercepted tube ?rs on their way to the mills. There some excitement and the mill offi py claimed that their men were being f • itened and in danger of violence, a called on Mayor Black to clear the ?ts and protect them. The mayor said that he would only interfere to stop actual rioting and assault. Two other appeals were made to him later in the morning but he insisted that there was no danger of an outbreak. Another crowd gathered at noon when the tube men were leaving the plant and while the workers were jeered no violence was offered. Th strikrs say that it is only a question of time when material will give out and the tube men must quit. Otherwise, it- is believed there would be serious trouble McKeesport. Reports from Wheeling and Bellaire indicate that there may be three, ahrowlthwltimoa etaoshrd taoir dlaoiosh The executive committee of the Amal gamated Association will probably make an exhaustiee investigation of the action taken by the lodges at South Chicago. Bay View and Joliet in refusing to make the strike. President Shaffer has been urged to go West, and personall) investigate the matter, but it is unlike ly that he will be able to spare the time for the present. A radical element in the local lodges bitterly denounces the Western members and insists that there was something irregular about the mat ter. Others intimate that influences that would not bear investigation were used o nthe- men. It is claimed that a canvass made a week ago showed a majority in favor of striking and that no reasonable explanation of the change of front has been made. President Shaffer refrains from any direct criti cism of the act of the Western men, but it is known that he deeply regrets the loss of their support. Secretary William? today gave out copies of a call to the general public for financial aid. It reads?: “To the members of organized labor: “Brethren: As you are undoubtedly aware the United States Steel Corpora tion are now waging a war against or ganized labor by making the Amalgamated Association the subject on which to be gin operations. At our last convention it w ts unanimously decided to ask the Uni ted States Steel Corporation, when set tling their annual scale with the Amal gamated Association that they sign or recognize the scale of the Amalgamated Association in all their mills. When the matter was broached,the request was per emptorily refused. After the holding of several conferences the demand of our organization was modified so as to take in only the mills of three of their con stituent companies, viz: the American Sheet Steel Company, the American Tin Plate Company and the American Steel Hoop Company, where local lodges had been formed and where the men were very desirous of being union and were now out on strike for recognition. “In the conference which were held by the representatives of the United States Steel Corporation and the Amal gamated Association, the representatives of the United States Steel Company’s only arguments were that they did not de sire the Amalgamated Association to be come too powerful and that they should hold the balance of power. Later con ferences were held with the heads of the United States Steel Company, who submitted a proposition that we only sign for the mills signed last year, with the exception of the sheet mills in Saltsburg and Seottdale, which were signed for the year previously. Their proposition was rejected, as it meant that the Amalga mated Association would merely have to remain in a quiescent state while they were expanding and extending their non union possessions. “They are waging a fight for the ex termination of the Amalgamated Associa tion and for the workmen to combine, a principle which they have demonstrated to the people of the United States, they desire themselves and so persistently re fuse to grant us. This blow is not alone directed at the Amalgamated Association but at organized labor in general and should they succeed in defeating the Amalgamated Association it. will affect every organized body in the United States. “To succeed in this struggle it will be necessary to seek the aid of every organized body as well as the general public, whose sympathies we know are with us in the present struggle. To this end we ask you to give us your moral and financial aid. A liberal response finan cially will materially aid us in conducting a victorious campaign for a principle which is the inalienable right of every American freeman. “If you desire to aid the Amalgamated Association in the present struggle finan cially, all money should be forwarded to John Williams, Secretary-Treasurer, Bls se! block, Pittsburg, Pa.” TWO ONLY ESCAPE DEA’IH.

Kello> was left in Raleigh and Hennegar ir Wilmington. Despite this fact Raleigi put up a good game, and had it uol been for Bigbee’s heme run in the firm inning, with two men on bases, tin story would be told in a different way Stocksdale pitched a great game foi the Red Birds and Powers, at short, was invincible. Lambeth, a Charlotte boy, played good third for Raleigh, am was responsible for the only run tilt Red Birds made. LeGrande made a fearful error of £ hot ground hall, allowing it to pass b> him, the batter making two bases. The real features of the game foi Raleigh were Stocksdale’s pitching Powers’ excellent work at short anc that of Lambeth’s at third. Charlotte came in one of playing an errorless game.

Adams, the husband, has long suspected his wife of intimacy; with Charles Houck, the other victim, and this morning shadowed them through Druid Hill park. He overtook them on the bridge leading into the park at Cedar Avenue and creeping up behind them began to shoot. Two shots struck Houck who fell dead. Turning the pistol upon the terrified woman, Adams fired three times, each shot taking effect. She fell dead across Houck's body and Adams ran. An hour later he gave himself up to a police in a distant part of the city, to whom he told the story of his crime for which he expressed nothing but grati fication. Adams is a plasterer 32 years old, and lived at 1530 Kensett street with his wife who was two years his senior, and four children. Houck lived alone at 425 East Twenty-sixth street.

THE WAR SHIP IOWA THE VESSEL CHOSEII For Duty on the Pacific Side of Panama. MACHIAS GOES TONIGHT Colombia’s Interests May be Looked After by Our Charge. IF THIS IS AGREEABLE TO VENEZUELA Whether the Colombian Minister Has Withdrawn From Venezuela is Not Yet Known- No New Development in the Situa tion on the Isthmus. (By the Associated Press. Washington t August 12. —The State De partment has authorized the American Charge d’Affffaires at Caracas, Vene zuela, to use his good offices for Colombia, in case £he Colombian Minister at the Venezuelan capital leaves that couutry. Mr. Russell, qlegraphed last week, seek ing instructions as to his course of ac tion in case of the withdrawal of the Colombian minister, which apparently was in contemplation at that time. He did not, however, indicate that this with drawal was preliminary to any rupture between the two Republics but simply asked if he would be authorized to act temporarily in looking after Colombia's interests in case of the withdrawal of the minister. As it is the universal custom to act in this manner, when the request is made, Mr. Russell is authorized to use his good offices for Colombia, in case this was agreeable to the Venezuelan Government. Since then the American Charge has not been heard from, and it is not known whether the Colombian Minister has withdrawn from Venezuela, or whether Mr. Russell is fulfilling this temporary duty. There have been no additional devel opments as to the situation on the isth mus of Panama, where thertrrmMe- m far removed from that along the Venezuelan border. Consul General Gudger’s course in looking after the interests of Chinese along the isthmus is not in pursuance of any specific instructions from Washing ton. but follows a procedure established some twelve years ago. in connection with points at which the Chinese were entirely without official representation. The Navy Department has now defi nitely determined to make use of the bat tleship lowa, instead of the Wisconsin, for use on the Pacific side of the isthmus, in case affairs become serious there. This was due to the fact that no word had been heard from the Wisconsin, while the lowa had reported her arrival at Bremerton. Her commander. Captain Thomas Perry, has been ordered to take the ship to San Francisco and is expect ed to sail tonight. The lowa is the flag ship of the Pacific station, and as such flies the flag of Rear Admiral Silas Case. At last reports received here the Admiral had gone on goard the lowa, but it is hardly pobable that he will proceed fur ther south than San Francisco. The gunboat Machias has reported her arrival at Norfolk, Va., and probably will sail for Colon tonight or tomorrow morn ing. SPECIAL TERM TO BE HELD.

C., August 12.—The funeral of Charles Brantley Aycock, Jr., was held from the Missionary Baptist church in this place at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. It was an occasion of great sadness and gloom. The young mau has a host of relatives in the town and county, who, with hundreds of friends, #were present to pay the last tribute of respect to the bright and promising young man whose untimely death is deplored.

It seemed that all the prominent citizens of Goldsboro were in Wilson to attend the funeral. Col. Joseph E. Robinson and Col. W. D. Pollock, of the Governor's staff, were present. The funeral procession reached from Dr. Albert Anderson's, where the young man died, almost to the church, and was a long one. The services, appropriate and brief, were conducted by Rev. John J. Douglass, pastor. The music was ren dered by a choir of the several churches and was beautiful and impressive. The young man was buried in Maplewood as the sun was setting, by the side of his mother, hundreds of people with uncov ered heads standing in reverence and in deep sympathy with the Governor, Mrs. Aycock and the family. The floral offer ings were exquisite and of many designs, some of them particularly handsome. One . of the handsomest was sent by the Coun cil of State, and dozens of others were from friends in and out of the State. The pall-bearers were selected from among the young friends of the deceased in Goldsboro and in Wilson. From Golds boro there were Messrs. Paul Yelverton, William Smith. Herman Smith, Thomas Dewey and Frank Broadhurst, while from Wilson the following young )nen acted; Messrs. Joshua Branch, Wiley Hodges, Robert Barnes and Charles Best. Governor Aycock and family after the funeral went in the eountry to spend the night with Mrs. Ayeook’s father.

Mortimer L Johnson Will Succeed Him in Command of Boston Navy Yard (By the Associated Press.) Washington. August 12.—The Navy De partment has selected Rear Admiral Mor timer L. Johnson, now in command at tile Port Royal Naval Station, to succeed Ad miral Sampson in command of the Boston Navy Yard when tlie latter officeT shall retire. The formal appointment has not been made. However, it is usual when the retirement of an officer is ahead, to look about for those available to suc ceed him ami this led the Department seme weeks ago to determine upon Ad miral Johnson for the prospective service. It has been known for some time to the Navy Department officials that Ad miral Sampson is not in robust health and that he might desire to Lay aside his duties at the yard before the date of his retirement from the service. As to this, however, which will be in February, Ad miral Sampson has not asked to be re lieved, or indicated when he would like to be detached. It is stated that the action of the Department has no con nection with the Schley court of inquiry. Officials of the Department were unable to say today whether Admiral Samp son would be summoned as a witness or would appear otherwise before the court, it is probable, however, that he will be a witness. THE SECOND SHAMROCK. The Cup Challenger Has,Arrived in New York Day. (By the Associated Press.) New York, August 12.—The new Ameri ca’s cup challenger Shamrock 11, lay at anchor off Sandy Hook Lightship last night and early this morning was towed up the bay to Tompkinsvillq, Staten Is land. She will be ta\<en at once to Erie Basin where she will be stripped and her racing mast stepped. Her spars are ready and there will be no delay in get ting her into racing trim. The challenger of 1901 received a lively and enthusiastic welcome from every craft in the harbor, as she came up the bay in tow of the tug Robert Haddou. It was at her anchorage overlooking the field where she is to give battle In September to the defender of the cup that the yacht ing sharps had their first glimpse of the new challenger by daylight. The grace and beauty of the lines of her slender body were marred by her cumberous ocean rig and the litter of confusion on her deck, as her crew were preparing to weigli anchor. But one glance was suffi cient to convince the experts that Wat son had built a much handsomer boat than the old Shamrock. She looks the fastest boat ever turned out in British waters. - Imprinted Checks and Drafts. (By the Associated Press.)
