McKEESPORT   AND   WELLSVILLE
Will Be   the    Storm    Centres   of   the
Preaent    Controversy—Prealdent  Shaffer's  Comments.
PITTSBURG, Joly 22.—The expected did not happen today. Neither of
the looked for. programs for Wells-
vllle or MeKeesport. were carried out
At Wellsville the Importation of men
failed to materialize and at MeKeesport the attempt to resume at the
Dewees Wood tube plant was not
made.
At both points which are considered
by both sides to be the strike centers
the situation la in statu quo, neither
-of the parties to the controversy having made any decided move. From
the other Important point, Duncansville conflicting reports are received
snd the result of .the quiet struggle
going on between the American Steel
Hoop company .and \he Amalgamated
association is still uncertain, with the
company's chances probably better for
Winning in the end. Late this afternoon the Amalgamated issued its flrst
strike bulletin from the general office.
The bulletin is printed In the Amalgamated .Journal offlce and is Intended
to give the members of the organlza-
, tion news concerning the progress of
the strike. In the future It will be ls-
- sued • on each Monday morning and
will be followed by the regular Issue
of the Journal during the latter part
of the week.
The bulletin of today gives an outline of the conditions prevailing and
reproduces some phrases of President
Shaffer's recent addresses at Wellsville and MeKeesport. In Uhe most
prominent part of the bulletin is printed the warning words "Do not drink,
.especially if the trust ..tries to break
the strike by Importing non-union
' men. Don't beUeve anyone who says
. -the mills will be closed for ever or
taken out of the community if you
.don't go to work."
Further on are the words "There
were not enough men in thb country
to run the mills before the strike, so
all you need to do to win the strike
Is, don't work. Enjoy your summer
shut-dow.n. It means more work next
winter. That ls the time for mill work
anyhow."
Absolute denial was made by Presi-
' dent Shaffer of the story tbat a delegation from tbe Vandergrift mills of
the  American  Sheet    company   .hid
been In conference with htm.   He said
that he had seen no one from Vander-
grift and knew nothing af their presence   ln Pittsburg   or   MeKeesport.
Whatever Is being done by the Amalgamated people at Vandergrift is be-
' ing kept so quiet at present that few
of the general officers of ~ie organlz .-
tion are acquainted with the status of
affairs.
There has been no change in the
arrangements, at Wellsville so far as
the officials of the association are
aware. Tbe hope Is still general
among these officials, however, that
a way wiil be tound to bring about a
Settlement of the difficulties.
President Shaffer has never vet declared that there was no possibility of
concessions on the part of the Amalgamated association. When asked hia
opinion on this matter today he re-
* plie'd that he was unable to answer the
question. Friends of the president
who have talked to him on this line
^express the firm belief that If the
proper steps were taken, the manufacturers would find the association
in a concllltary mood and ready to
meet any reasonable proposition consistent with nonor. They say the
•whole tone of President Shaffer's* remarks ls Inclined toward peace, if he
oan secure it honorably.
They Have Given Up the  Fight and
Are   Returning   to  Work.
NBW YORK. July 22.—After a two
months' strike the machinists employed by Uie Lehigh -Valley railroad
have given np the flght and are return-
lag to work, not in a body, but as Individuals. The company declined to
reoeive them ln a body bnt the officials
stated they wonld receive applications
for work from individuals, and if they
were experienced men and there were
places for them, they would give them
employment About forty men returned to work at tte^Coxton shops today. Applications were received at
the shops In this city from about
eighty-five machinists. The superintendents said there would not be
places for all the strikers as new men
had been taken on ln their places. It
ls thought that by tonight there will be
a rush of applications for work.
The 800 machinists and car repairers
at the Ashley shops of tbe Central
Railroad of New Jersey are still out
but a break in the strikers' ranks is
expected at any time.

RUSSIAN   OIL   DECLINING.
Slump in Prices Due to Increased Production   and   Stocks;
WASHINGTON, July 22.—The price
of Russian petroleum, which last year
materially advanced, is now steadily
declining, according to Consul Mahin,
at Reichenberg, in a communication
to the state department. In the Russian oil districts the decline Is remarkable, amounting to fully 50 per cent
at Baku since January. Mr. Mahin attributes this to the Increased produe-
| tion In the early months of 1900 and
to the large accumulation of stored Oil.
■SERIOUS     TROUBLE     EXPECTED.
(National Tin Plate  Mill  Started Yesterday, All Shifts Working.
PITTSBURG, July 22.—From Mon-
ossen tonight came the following:
"There is suppressed excitement ln
the air tonight and it ls likely that
trouble of a serious nature will result
inside of 24 hours. Notwithstanding
sll efforts to the contrary, the National Tinplate works started up full this
morning at the regular time. Ali
shifts are working. Superintendent
Donner has placed a heavy guard
around the mill and If any effort is
made to intimidate the Workmen there
certainly wUl be blood shed. The organizers have been able to get a few
men away, however, but. tt ls said,
their places were quickly filled. To
a reporter several of the men said
that if the tin mill should come out
they would have to leave this part of
the country. They cannot work at
anything else, and say they won't
join the onion as the patents of the
mill are the property of W. H. Dohner
and are of an entirely different nature
from those ln other places. Many of
these men could not work In other
mills and aside from this an iron-clad
agreement with W. H. Donner, now
president of the Union Steel company
specially states the mill must be run
non-union, otherwise they camuit use
■ his patents. Many of the workmen of
the steel mill who came out a week
ago, have left town. Others are still
here trying to organize the tin workers.

Few Prostratlona in Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, July 22—All previous
heat records here were eclipsed today
when the official government 'thermometer registered 105 degrees .at
2:30 'this afternoon and remained
there for about an hour. Fortunately
the humidity at that time registered
only 26 and the number of prostrations during the day was comparatively small.
PITTSFIELD, Mass.. July 22.—Jas.
Fosburg was called today as a witness
for the prosecution in the trial of hte
brother Robert S Fosburg for the
murder of their sister. May Fjsburs.
The summons was a sudden and
startling one, made as lt was by District Attorney Hammond who heretofore had taken no part in the examination of witnesses. The young Tale
graduate made an Interesting figure
on the' stand and hia testimony was
direct and conclusive. It apparently
left no doubt that his explanation ot
the reason why he did not know that
burglars had been ln the house and
killed his beautiful sister, was truthful
and stralghtiorward. James was
slightly nervous, however, and this
was noticeable when any reference
was made to the death of his sister or.
tS the scanty attire of the members
of the family on the night of the
tragedy.
The attempt of the government to
delve into the question of family quai -
rels, did not materialize, and James
Fosburg's explanation of his attempt
to get a number of doctors, his return to the death chamber and his
ministrations to his parents, created
a favorable impression in the minds
of all who listened to him. In contradiction of the testimony of a previous
government witness to the effeot that
he had seen James Fosburg In the
house after the murder wtth his suspenders hanging down, young Fosburg
today stated that he had not owned a
pair of suspenders for five years.
Dramatic, however, was the scene
when James Fosburg described hts
ascent of the front stairs, after he had
heard "terrible shrieks" yet not knowing Just what bad happened; the meeting with hia sister-in-law who as he
said "appeared before me ln the
light" She was ln her night dress
said witness and exclaimed in fear,
■I'Your father's gone crazy.' Today al-
so witnessed the introduction as a
witness of Dr. W. W. Schofield, the
flrst physician to visit the Fosburg
home" after the tragedy. Though call
ed by the government his testimony
was of Uttle or no value to the prosecution and It apparently told In favor
of the defense. The superstructure
which the' government today erected
over the foundation laid last week
cannot "therefore be said to be "complete: It has been suggested by
friends of the Fosburg family that In
the event of the government not making a stronger case the defense mny
not put in any testimony. Even
should the witnesses for the defendant
go on the stand lt is believed the case
will be finished by Thursday night at
the latest.
In an interview tonight Lawyer H.
C. Joyner, counsel for the defense,
stated it was possible that at the conclusion of tbe presentation of the government's case he would make a motion that the oourt order a verdict of
not guilty. It Is understood that Miss
Beatrice Fosburg, who was to have
been the chief witness, will not be
called by the government, which leaves
CMef of PoUce Nicholson as the only
important witness yet to be heard for
the prosecution.
The cross examination of Captain
White will begin with the opening of
tomorrow's session.
It is possible that the prosecution
will rest tomorrow night and In the
opinion of Attorney Joyner the trial
will be over by Wednesday, as far as
the evidence is concerned, and he also
says that the argument In any-event
will be brief on the part of the defense. Both Mr. Joyner- and James B.
A. Fosburg emphatically state that the
defendant will go on the stand and
.testify in his own behalf ln case the
defense presents any evidence.

WASHINGTON, July 22.—One hundred degrees temperature were common throughout the great corn belt today, according to the reports to the
weather bureau her.e In various
places in Illinois, Iowa and other
states, all previous heat records were
smashed. There appears to be no
prospect of decided relief from these
exhausting conditions for the next
tjea days at least, except such as may
come from the always present possibility of scattered thunder storms
whiob are predicted for some portions
of the superheated area. Today dry
thumler storms unaccompanied by
rain'prevalled ln some sections of the
west hundreds of miles apart They
temporarily cooled he atmosphere but
brought no relief to the famishing
crops. Absolutely no rain fell ln the
corn belt according to the officials' reports received here. In Western Iowa
it wns a trifle cooler today, while ln
the,'central portion qf-the state it was
wartner. There is alittle belt of high
pressure over the great lakes and another over the south Atlantic coast
but it offers no prospect of relief in
the west so long as the continued low
pressure remains in- - the northwest.
The warm weather again was general
throughout the entire country except
on the Pacific coast.
lh the east the temperature while
high did not approach anywhere the
extremes prevailing in the west and
a recurrence of the hot wave of two
weeks ago ls believed to be unlikely
ln the Atlantic coast region. Thunder
showers have continued from the
sonth Atlantic coast westward into
Arizona and a continuation of them ts
predicted for the south and southwest
In Des Moins, la., the temperature
officially reported today ■ was 108; tn

TRAGEDY AT ELKIN, W. VA.
Chief of Police Lilly Fatally Injured
In Attempting to Arreat Wm.
Brooks, Colored.
.ELKIN, W. Va., July 22.—Tonight
the dead body of William Brooks, colored; swings from the limb of a tree
in the city park here, and Chief of Police Robert Lilly Ues dying in a Cumberland, Md., hospital, from the effects
of a bullet wound inflicted by the colored man.
Tbis afternoon word was brought to
the police station that William Brooks,
a well known colored man, was creating trouble in the lower end of
town, and asking for the aid of an of-
fleer to subdue him. Chief of Police
Robert Lilly said he would go himself
and bring ln the man. When "Brooks
saw the officer coming he started to rnn
for the house and by the time Lilly
came up to the house, which had a
good sized crowd surrounding It, and
ordered the man to come out Brooks
came to the window of a front room
armed witb a gun. Officer Lilly ordered him to surrender and come
peacefully to the lockup. Brooks said
he would net go peacefully, or any other way. Lilly ran Into the house for
the black man. The crowd outside
made no offer to help, and the officer
faced the desperate negro alone. Sounds
of a fierce struggle could be heard and
the crowd that had gathered ran to the
house to help. When the room was
gained both men were found on the
floor in mortal combat The negro was
shouting that he never would be taken
alive, and the officer, silent and grin},
held him with a deatlT grip. Suddenly
the negro worked his right arm free
from the grasp of the officer and catch-
[ing up a revolver that had fallen to tiie
floor in the struggle, flred point, blank
at the officer. Lflly fell to lhe floor,
shot through the bowels. When the
officer released the negro he broke from
the room and ran, followed by a big
crowd. For j several squares he kept
ahead ot the crowd. FlnaUy, after a
chase of half a mile Brooks was overtaken and captured. He fought desperately, btft could not get away. Other
officers came to the rescue, and with
small ceremony Brooks was handed
over to the sheriff to be taken to the
county jail.
Just as the sheriff reached the prison
door and ordered the prisoner to walk
Into the JaU, a mob of men, at least
tonr hundred strong, surrounded the
officer and demanded the prisoner. The
sheriff and guards refused and made
desperate resistance, but to no avail.
Brooks was seized, rushed through the
streets, half walking and half falling
along, towards the city park. When the
park was reached the men who were
leading Brooks told him to walk ap
under a big Shade tree tn the center of
the park and prepare to die. The negro could not speak and seemed almost
insensible to what was going on. The
rope was drawn up and In a few minuted the body ot William Brooks swung
from the tree lifeless.     *•
Then the "mob dispersed, the men
going to their homes, and tbe women,
many of whom had followed to witness tbe terrible tragedy, walked to
tbeir homes with white faces and terrified hearts.
Officer Lilly's wounds are fatal. He
is unable to talk and can give but
small explanation of .the trouble that
led to the shooting.
The body of Brooks, np to a late
hour this evening, still hung In the
park.
