Cleveland Company Ran Some Can
on Schedule.
Cleveland, May 19. The first at
tempt by the members of the state
board of arbitration to bring about
peace between the Municipal Traction
company and ita striking employes re
suited In a failure.
President Dupont conferred with
Messrs. Bishop and Owens of the
board In regard to strike settlement
and, while he agreed to arbitrate some
points, he would not concede the one
thing for which the men stand deter
minedly.
"In no case will I arbitrate the rein
statement of the men at the expense
of those now employed," he Bald.
shall stick for the seniority of runs;
those now working getting the pref.
erence."
" President Dupont added that he
would arbitrate no point until the law
lessness had ceased.
Many acta of lawlessness were com
Diltted in connection with the street
car strike between midnight and dawn
Monday. Trolley wires were cut
crews were driven from their cars
and In BOine instances non-union men
wore attacked by strike sympathizers.
Trolley wires in I,akewood, a west
ern suburb, were cut In several places
with the result that the Municipal
Traction company announced that no
further attempt would be made to op
erate cars in that section. Because
of alleged discrimination in fares
against Lake wood by the Munlcipnl
Traction company, it is claimed that
the authorities of tlio town are mak
ing no effort to suppress lawless acts
committee by strike sympathizers.
After a conference, continued al
most throughout the night, between
union officers headed by President Ma-
han of the streetcar men's union, and
members Bishop and Owen of the
state arbitration board. It was stated
unofficially that a formal proposition
of arbitration would probably be made
to President Dupont of the traction
company by the arbitration board on
behalf of the men.
There was a marked Increase In the
number of cars operated by the com
pany, the five-minute schedule being
maintained on some of the lines. Kach
car carried a policeman in the motor
man's vestibule.
TEST OF BONUS LAW.
Commonwealth Will Carry Up Dauph
in County Decision on Steel
Hoop Case.
Harrisburg, May 19. This week an
appeal will be made by the common
wealth of Pennsylvania to the supreme
court from the decision of President
Judge Kunkel of the Dauphin county
court in the suit for bonus on capital
stock of the American Steel Hoop com
pany, which was merged in the Car
negie Steel company, a constituent
company of the I'nited States Steel
Corporation.
The state sued to recover bonus on
capital Invested in this state since the
enactment of the bonus law on May 8,
1901. The company prior to that time
had $3,471,927.30 returned as invested
this state. In 1901 it invested
$(151,502.96 additional and in 1902
$944,575.62. The state sued for the
bonus of one-third of 1 per cent on
$2,820,424.34 of this sum, which It
claimed came under the bonus law be
cause of investment In this state.
While the amount actually involved
is small, less than $5,000, the effect of
the decision, if sustained by the su
preme court, will be far reaching, as
every company chartered In another
state and having investments In Penn
sylvania will escape payment of bonus
under conditions similar to that of the
steel company. Many thousands of
dollars worth of tax are Involved.

lary, county detectives and a large

of the venerable physicinns of Western
?ew ork. Dr. Alon.o iltso of Dele-
van, Cattaraugus County. Mr. Wiltse
had been a practising physician for sev
enty ycais. A peculiar circumstance in
connection with his life is the fact that
thirty ycirs ago lie was stricken with
Bright s disease and after a thorough
examination and consultation by emi
nent Iluffnln physicians, his caso was
pronounced incurable und he was ad
vised to prepare for the closing of his
earthly career.
Iicturning to his home with such sad
information lie was spurred to make a
desperate analysis and study of
liriglit s disease, with the result that
he formulated a remedy which com
pletely cured him and gave him an ad
ditional lease of thirty years of life, or
nntil the ago of ! years, as mentioned
above.
Mr. Wiltse in his practice thereafter
used the remedy with great success. The
mixture can be obtained at. any local
drag store at a nominal cost, and the
complete formula will bo mailed, post
paid, on receipt of twenty-five cents
by addressing the Empire Tvpe Foun

THE SUMMER VACATION GUIDE.
The pummer vacation is the bright spot in the dull routine of
the year's work. It breaks the monotony of the daily round, and
cheers and invigorates for the strenuous life ahead.

mountain, and beside the sea The Atlantic coat line from
Labrador to Cape Hatteras contains the greatest number of resorts
devoted entirely to the pursuit of pleasure and health io the world.
Oue may purchase from Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agents,
excursion tickets to over eight hundred nf these resorts, covering
all the desirable places, from the rock-bound bays of Newfound
land to the gentle, sandy slopes of the Virginia beaches; from the
White Mountains of New Hampshire to the Cumberland Moun
tains of Tennessee; in the wilds of Canada, aloDg the shores of the
St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes.
The famous seacoast resorts of New Jerst-y Atlantic City,
Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Asbury Park,
Long Branch, Spring Lake, Seaside Park, Beach Haven and
others, so well known that description is superfluous are among
the most popular and the most easily accessible resorts in the
country.
