of the Pennsylvania Railroad to rec
ognize the Federated Rrotherhood.
W. B. McCaleb, superintendent of
the Philadelphia division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, said 200 men are
out at Harrisburg and Enola and that
enough men are now on furlough to
take the places of the strikers.
Shortly before noon to-day fifty spe
cial police officers from Columbia
went to Enola where they have been
assigned to special duty at -the shops
and roundhouses. Special officers and
those on the regular force are sta
tioned about the local shops and
roundhouses, and orders have been
issued to allow no person on railroad
property who has no right to be
there.
Employes who quit work at noon
to-day under orders from W. 11.
Pierce, the president, came from all
branches of the Pennsylvania railroad
and included shopmen, trackmen, car
repairmen, inspectors, watchmen, en
gine cleaners, machinists, boilermakers,
Hue cleaners and laborers.
Hundred Men Oft at Noon
Orders were issued last night to quit
at noon to-day and as soon as possible
to report to President Pierce at head
quarters, 1334 V& North Sixth street.
At 1 o'clock 100 men had reported.
President Pierce said that Enola re
ported everything tied up there and not
a wheel moving. He averred that bj
4 o'clock this afternoon he will have
the names of 2,500 members who have
ipit work. Air. Pierce said:
"Every employe to a man /it Wilkes
parre is out. Sunbury employes are
il t for the second time this week and
witoona does not have more than one
third of the employes working. By
K o'clock this evening every trackman
between Trenton and Pittsburgh will
lie out and by noon to-morrow the
entire system of the Pennsylvania
Railroad will be almost at a stand
still."
President Pierce, who remained at
headquarters all day and received re
ports from various cities by telephone
ind telegraph, announced that a meet
ing of representatives of all transpor
tation brotherhoods had been called
lor to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
iit. the Federated headquarters. The
men on night duty will hold an after
noon session and those on day duty
will meet at night. Each brotherhood
will be asked to appoint a committee
lo confer on tho question of a sym
pathy strike. President Pierce further
stated:
What Pierce says
"Xobody feels sorrier than I do for
the calling of the strike. 1 did not
■deep all night. We wore in session
tiere until 2 o'clock this morning and
not until the final refusal came from
Seneral Manager S. ('. Long to meet
with our committee did we decide on a
'trike. My first thought is for the
transportation brotherhoods, whose
members will suffer.
"The whole upshot of the .thing is
I hat the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany wants to force recognition of
1 heir Mutual Benefit Association. Ail
new employes must sign with this new
uganlzation in preference to the'relief
department. There is no question that
Hie company wants to wipe out all
brotherhoods," he continued.
We want to be eminently fair
Jeneral Manager Long could have
ivoided the trouble he has brought on
us company," Pierce went on. "We
ire going to be orderly. I have re
luested every man to keep out of the
<aloons and not to loaf about street
corners. I also wish to warn the
■eople of Harrisburg to lock their
hiors and windows at night. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
sent to Harrisburg a hundred or more

setter known —who are nothing else

OF GALILEE TOLD

Arabs Attack American and Brit

Victims Forced to Spend Night in
Open Until Assistance
Comes
Thrilling description of an attack
on a party of teachers of the American
College at Beirut, Syria, is given in a
letter written to the Telegraph by a
former Perry county boy, A. M. Bill
man, who was an eye-witness to the
scenes he describes. He writes:
"On the night of Easter Sunday at
about 8 o'clock, a party of seven Brit
ish and American teachers from the
American University at Beirut, Syria,
were held up and robbed by four
armed shepherds while on a 'walk
across the hills and plains between Ti
berias and Mt. Tabor in Galilee. The
shepherds first accosted the young
men and demanded 'backsheesh' and
attempted to rob one of the men, but
they fell back when the rest of the
party came to his assistance. The
travelers had only proceeded about
fifty feet farther when a shot rang
out and Mr. Schearer, an American,
fell to the ground crying out that he
had been shot. Everyone then dodged
and two more shots, lired shortly after,
whistled overhead. On perceiving that
the foreigners, who were wholly un
armed, did not return tire, the Arabs
rapidly drew near and covered the
crowd with their pistols and guns. As
one man had already been shot, per
haps fatally, little resistance could be
made and the party was relieved of
twenty pounds or more In money, to
gether with a number of cameras and
watches and other valuables. In addi
tion to firing on the young men and
covering them with their weapons,

Senator Bradley, of
Kentucky, Attacks
Canal Tolls Repeal
By Assosiatid Prtss
Washington, D. C., May 7.—That ail
nations will know that, the repeal of
the Panama toll exemption law will be
done to "purchase immunity for a con
tinuation of watchful waiting in Mex
ico" was charged in the Senate by Sen
ator Bradley, of Kentucky, opposing
the repeal bill.
"If the United States is lacking In
influence, or standing to-day," said he,
"it is not on account of the tolls ques
tion, but because of its weak, vacil
lating and uncertain policy of 'watch
ful waiting' with Mexico, if we aban
don our sovereignty over the canal to
Great Britain, all other nations will
know that we are doing it with the
purpose of purchasing immunity for
a continuation of our 'watchful wait
ing' policy, under which we accom
plished nottiing and under which there
can be no peace.
"J agreo that the President lias been
actuated by an honest endeavor to
procure peace and a constitutional
government in Mexico. The trouble,
however, is that his ideals are too ex
alted to be realized. The. great ma
jority of her people are not fitted for
constitutional government. There is
too much ignorance, too much of in
satiable ambition, too much repine, too
much of butchery. You might as well
try to establish a Sunday school In
hell as real constitutional government
in Mexico by Mexicans."
Senator Bradley declared that the
President's message asking for the re
peal was "nothing short of an Insult to
the members of Congress who voted
for the present law." <
Mad Dog Races Folk

Just because Wildwood is wild, It

A dog that bore all the evidences of
madness ran through the park to-day,
and for quite a while had some visitors
and park employes pretty wild. Then
Samuel Kslinger, caretaker, got out Ills
rifle, and killed the dog. So far as Is
known It did not bite anyone.
