Si Morgan, it is Said, Will Allow Steel Workers to Organize. BIG STRIKE CONSIDERED AT END Decision Will Be Reached Today at the Meeting of the Amalgamated As sociation's Executive Committee. Strikers Not Relaxing Vigilance. Pittsburg. July 30 Everybody is on the qui vive this morning in strike tircle.s and the coming conference of the leaders of the two contending for ces is looked forward to with mingled hope and fear. Tiope, however, pre dominates and peace is confidently ex pected by the majority of thos inter ested. "The executive committee of the Al gamated Association will meet at their headquarters some time today and take up the propositions of the United States Steel corporation for a settlement of the steel workers' strike." This statement was made today by Secretary Williams of the Amalga mated Association. Beyond this he de clined to discuss the strike in any form. There la no change in the position of the two contestants. Both sides hold firmly to the plan of watching each other. The officials of the Wood mill of the American Sheet Steel company made no attempt to start the plant. While all parties concerned care fully guard the prospective terms of settlement, from a source believed to be reliable, t is said that Mr. Morgan proposes to permit the Amalgamated Association to continue its union lodges in the mills that were non union prior to the strike, but which went out on President Shaffer's strike order. In addition, it i3 said the I-cechburg. Duncansville, and Mones sen plants will be unionized. The United States Steel corporation is to be permitted to operate all of the mills of the Carnegie Steel company as they are now operated, as well as the big sheet mills aApollo, Vandergrift, and Saltsburg, provided the wages paid shall be on the same basis as in the mills where the union scale is signed. This would mean a gain for the work ers' union of the following plants: Lindsay & McCutcheon, in Allegheny. Clark's Solar Iron works, Thirty fifth street. Painter's, West Carson street. Wellsville, Ohio. W. Dewees Wood, at McKeesport. Leechburg. Puneunsville. Mingo Junction. Yesterday w-jxs a busy day for Prwsi dent Shaffer and tht executive officers of th Amalgamated Association. There was a steady stream of callers from early In the morning and innumerable conferences bearing on the proposed settlement of the strike. President Shaffer was firm in his determination not to talk on the strike situation until after the meeting today or until the de cision had been reached by the execu tive committee concerning the proposi tions of the United States Steel corpora ntion. It was intimated, however, that mete was x ei,v biiuub iinruuuou iuai the committee would not adjourn to day until they had met with the manu facturers and formally discussed the settlement of the strike. If this should be the cf.se, actual peace is possible In a short time. Col. G. Watson French and J. F. Tay lor, of the Republic Iron and Steel com pany, had a lengthy conference with President Shaffer, but the .object of their call was not made public. It was eaid that the Republic com pany was in need of a number of skilled men and in search of them. After the visit of Col. French, Joseph Bishop, the secretary of the Ohio board of arbitra tion went into conference with Presi dent Shaffer. His visit was in connec tion with the strike and its probable settlement. One of the most apparent faeis in the status of the strike today is tne deter mination of the strikers to lose no ground in their struggle while peace ne gotiations are being conducted. It was explained that this plan was absolute ly necessary In order that the position of the Amalgamated Association should be strong when the settlement takes place. News received from all points where the strike is in progress today was of a reassuring nature. The strikers claim to havo more than held their ground since the strike began and since the opening of the campaign, they claim to have in creased their membership in McKees port alone to over 1,500. Trolley Employes Gain a Point. Philadelphia. July 30 Five mem bers of the Philadelphia Street Rail way Employes' Association were in conference yesterday with John B. Parsons, president of the Union Trac tion company. After the departure of the men from his office Mr, Parsons paid: "A committee of employes called here and requested mat tne wages of the men be increased from 18 to 20 cents an hour and that a 1( hour day be adopted. I promised ther to refer their request to the director It their next meeting." Tornado Swept Over Newark. New York, July 30 A tornado swept over Newark, N. J., and vicinity ut 4 o'clock yesterday. No one was seriously injured. Outside the town in the path of the storm trees were torn up by the roots and roofs were torn from houses. The roads are im passable from fallen trees and wash outs, and telephone wires are down. The storm came out of the northwest puddenly. As the funnel-shaped gr&r, cloud approached a heavy black cloud rolled up behind it and burst. A heavy shower of bail followed. The intense dryness of the South Af rican air is very destructive of leather.

Minneapolis, July 30. At a confer ence yesterday afternoon between rep reseptatives of the packers and nail ers' union and the flour millers, the latter, while granting the advance in wages asked, absolutely refused to Eign a contract for a year or any other period. The union representatives withdrew to consider the situation. The millers say it is unfair for the men to insist upon a contract. Inas much as such an instrument must be made with irresponsible parties. By that they meant that the men, un der a contract, would have them at a disadvantage, as there was nothing to prevent the packers and nailers from employers in the lurch, striking at any time and leaving their The original demand of the men was for a five-years' contract at 52.75 a day for packers and $2.23 for nailers, an Increase of 25 cents a day each, but they finally concluded to be satisfied with a one-year contract provided they could get it. TO BUY LAFAYETTE RELICS, Morgan Left Check With General Por ter for That Purpose. London, July 30 "J.

C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, PKATf UEAR1NG MONDAY West Chester's Murder Suspect Granted Habeas Corpus Writ. HOUSE INSPECTED YESTERDAY It Is Believed That 16-year-old Gerald Zell Could Clear Up Some of the Mysteries In the Case, Would He But Speak. West Chester, Pa., July 30. T. W. Pierce, counsel for William H. Pratt, made an application yesterday for a writ of habeas corpus for his client. It was granted, and the court fixed next Monday at 10 o'clock as the time for the hearing. Pratt was committed for a hearing on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock before Magistrate Paxton. As yet that official does not know whether his hearing will be dispensed with as a consequence of the habeas corpus pro ceedings. A second search of the Pratt house was made yesterday, the chief object being to find the "gray pants" which Pratt wore when he engaged Willie Wise to pick berries. In the party were Chief Jeffries, District Attorney Baldwin, County Surveyor McDonnell and his assistant, Nathan Rambo, A pair of brown overalls were found in the shop, but the "gray pants" were missing. They are familiar to all who know Pratt as being a part of a military suit which had seen its best days. It was learned yesterday that Mrs. Edward Hicks, sister-in-law of the dead woman, kept a close watch in the days preceding the funeral on certain spots near the house in which she believed clothes might be thrown. While busying herself about house hold duties she was playing detective. In support of the statement of Willie Wise, that Pratt changed his clothes. Dr. M. II. Cheyney, who was the first physician in the house after the trage dy, saiit: "I particularly noticed as we were driving to his house that Pratt had on a perfectly clean shirt. It was not a soiled white one such as the Wise boy describes as having been worn previous to the tragedy. It had a blue stripe in it. "My impression Is very clear. We were turning a corner at break-neck speed, and as I grasped the side of the buggy in order not tv be thrown out, I turned toward Pratt. As I did so I aw the clean shirt, apparently just put on. and thought he was the cleanest farmer I had ever seen." Another interesting question, waiting to be solved, is, whether one of the sharp knives, known to have been in the house, is missing. It was learned today that there were several sharp knives exactly similar in size and shape to the dull one found in Mrs. Pratt's hand. These were for use at butcher ing time, and were kept In the dining room cupboard, and not in the kitchen, where the bloodstains were found. The dull knives were always kept in the kitchen. ProSably the only person, except Pratt himself, who can say how many of those sharp knives there were is Gerald Zell, who until recently lived with the Pratt. H could tell this and so show whether any is missing and reveal other things of prime im portance in this ease, according to his friends. But he refuses to say a word. He told of disagreements in the Pratt household, but has recently become reticent. HONORED THE REGICIDE. Expatriated Anarchists. Commemorat ed Humbert's Murder In Paterson. New York, July 3D.

MANY THOUSANDS PRESENT Names First Drawn Were Greeted With Wild Cheers Crowd Suggest ed That Lucky Man and Woman Should Get Married. El Reno, O. T., July 30. Oklaho ma's great land lottery was begun here in earnest yesterday, and when the commissioners appointed by the .. . .. Federal government adjourned tne drawings for the day 1,000 of the choice of the 13,000 160-acre claims In the Kiowa-Comanche country had been awarded. The first name drawn from the wheels was that of Stephen A. Hoi comb, of Paul's Valley, I. T., for a homestead in the El Reno district, and the second, Leonard Lamb, of Au gusta, O. T. These two men select the two choicest claims in this districL The capital prize winners, however, proved to be James R. Wood, of Weatherford, O. T., whose name was the first to come from the Lawton district wheel, and Miss Mattie H. Beals, of Wichita, Kan., who drew sec ond number in that district. They won the first filings in the Lawton district, and will undoubtedly choose the two quarter sections adjoining that town. These are considered the most valua ble In the territory and are, it is esti mated, worth from $20,000 to 440,000 each. It is estimated that fully 25,000 persons witnessed the drawing. Every man who did not draw a prize from the wheels yesterday had steadfast faith that to-day or to-morrow will surely see him the possessor of a slip reading him a title clear to 160 acres of Oklahoma's land. When the close of the drawing for the day was announced at 6 o'clock hundreds who had neither eaten nor drank during the day sank to the ground where they, stood from sheer fatigue or went wearily to find places for rent or to refreshment booths up town. The day was remarkably free from quarrels, and general satisfac tion with the government's method of disposing of the land was felt. It has been found that many hun dred applicants have "repeated," and that others have applications so illegi ble that they will be thrown out. Over this much discord has resulted, and the outcome may be an appeal to the courts. The first name brought out for the Lawton district was that of James R. Woods, of Weatherford. O. T., and the crowd went wild. This meant that Woods would be able to claim the quarter section adjoining Lawton town, one of the choicest in the entire country. The second ticket was drawn, and Colonel Dyer cried out: "I have the pleasure to announce the name of the first woman to draw a prize, Maitie II. Beal. of Wichita. Kan. ' Then Colonel Dyer gave her descrip tion as 23 years old. 5 feet 3 inches in height, "just the height of Woods." Instantly the crowd caught tho hu mor of the situation, and thousands of throats sent up the shout: "They must get. married." 1 The eighteen: h winner in the Law ton district was Minerva McCllntock, aged 25. of Oklahoma City. She was married Sunday, and by this act for feits her right to the claim. She might have c hosen a claim near a coun ty seat town worth several thousand dollars. PLEASANT CHANGE IN KANSAS.
