NOTICE ON WIRE
MEN WHO STRIKE
President of Western Union;

By Associated Press.
Sew York. July 6.—Employes of j
the Western Union Telegraph Company, j
who joined the telegraphers' union on ■
the assurance of the Postmaster Gen- |
eral that there would be no discrimin
ation in regard to employes joining !
unions, will not be taken back if they |
strike, Newcomb Carlton, president of I
the company, announced to-day. He !
pointed out that the Postmaster General j
had now turned the Western Union over
to the company "to operate as we
think best for the interests of the busi
ness."
Mr. Carlton said that out of 40,000
employes only 710 belonged to the
union and that the call for a strike in
the Southern division was meeting with
practically no response.
710 Belong to Union
"This 'great national strike' which ,
has been called by S. .1. Konenkamp j
is meeting with practically no response i
from our employes." he said. "It really j
amounts to nothing and would attract
no attention if it were not for the pro
paganda which the union people are
able to get into the newspapers. We
have about 55.000 employes on our
land and cable lines of which about
40.000 are eligible for membership in (
the union, but of those 40.000 only 710
belong to the union. These 710 joined
the union on the assurance of the
Postmaster General that there would
be no discrimination in regard to em
ployes joining unions.
Refers to Rule
"The Postmaster General has since i
turned the Western Union over to us. j
to operate as we think best for the in- ;
terests of the business. It has always j
been our rule, which we will adhere to, i
that where an employe juils the service i
with the hope of destroying or inter- j
fering with its continuity ruch person J
shall never again return to our em- >
ploy. Of course, should any of the 710 i
men already mentioned quit for the j
above-mentioned purpose they leave j
the service of the company for good. ;
Service Must Keep Up
"Bearing upon the matter of employes |
once quitting being ineligible for re- j
turn to the company's service, otirs Is j
an industry which absolutely requires j
continuity of service. It is one of the j
Industries that cannot allow of any in- j
terruption ; hence strikes are 'a>K>ed. ,
"There is a well working plan al- j
ready in operation for arbitrating and j

"Dispatches which I have received |

I Washington, June 6.—Unanimous j
I decision to press legislation for re- j
I peal of the wire control resolution j
j despite Postmaster General Burle-
I son's order returning the telegraph !
and telephone properties to private I
j operation, was reached to-day by '

After a further hearing to-day.
however, the committee amended •
the bill so as to continue existing i
telephone rates in effect for ninety |
days after the wires are turned i
back, instead of six days as origin- '
ally proposed.
Mr. Burleson to-day sent to
Chairman Cummins a letter declar
[ ing his order yesterday had been
I misconstrued; that he had not turn
ed back the wires to private owner
| ship and that no such action was
I contemplated.
Senator Kellogg, Republican,
Minnesota, author of the repeal
bill, told the committee the Post
master General's order only restored
private operation and did not end
government control, and that con
sequently the repeal bill should be
enacted as speedily as possible.
N. C. Kingsbury, vice-president
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, appeareid bes
fore the committee to urge legisla
tion definitely continuing existing
telephone rates until state commis
| sions have time to pass on them and
| establish new schedules. Mr. Kings
i bury was questioned at length by
j members of the committee as to the
1 result of Mr. Burleson's order.
STATE PROBE OF
ACCIDENT STARTED

j the tunnel each morning. The trip
| to-day formed at 6.25 o'clock. John
> McGroarty was the motor-man and
! Jimmy Kehoe the brakeman. I was
j riding on- the head end of the trip
■ and the cars were filled with men.
I In the last car were several kegs of
| powder. I do not know whether .any
| men were in this car. The last car
; was Just inside the mouth of the
! tunnel when McCroarty noticed the
i wire hanging low. He stopped the
j trip and started ahead a few hun
j dred feet to ascertain the cause ot
j the low wire. He had traveled ahead
I a few feet when he again stopped
| and told me to go out and tell an
i other motorcar runner on the out
! side to pull the trip out again. Mc
j Groarty also shouted to the men in
i the cars that they had better get
| out ar.-d walk. I saw some night
: shift men going out and I told them
1 to notify the runner to pull the trip
!of cars out. They said they would.
"The men in the cars were in the
| act of climbing out and the night
.shift men had left when there was
| a blinding flash. There was not
i much concussion and the flame was
! gone in a little while. Every man
[ in the tunnel was affected by smoke,
j We men who were on the front were
affected but we escaped the force of
j the flames. Then we started to
j help the injured and take out the
bodies of the de^d.
| "I am not sure how the accident
j happened. The wire was hanging
[•low. It might have touched the
j metal of the car. Some of the men
| I am sure were drowned as they
. piled on top of each other in the
sulphur creek which runs along the
I side of the tunnel."
j Seward Button, chief of the State
Bureau of Mines, informed the Asso-
I dated Press, that the State code
| contracted regulations governing the
| storage of explosives in magazines
| und working places, but was silent
jon the transportation of the same.
I Mr. Button declared this was a grie
j vous omission in the law and that
' acting on his own responsibility he
' would issue regulations to-day which
j would check the present careless
j methods and insist that they be obey

Reading Railway Decides
to Delay Building of New
Bridge; to Repair Old One
Improvements to the present
bridge of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company are be
ing planned for the near future, it
was announced by officials at the
local offices of the railroad. To what
extent improvements will be made
and what the nature of those
planned is not known by offlc.als
Little assurance of the construc
tion of a new bridge across the SUB
quehanna to replace the one now in
i:sc was given today. This matter is
being handled in the office of the
chief engineer in Philadelphia, and
so little is known here concerning
the proposition.
Officials in the local offices were
of the opinion to-day, they said
that the matter will not be taken
up in the near future. The fact
that improvements are being
planned to the present bridge is ad
vanced by them as one reason.
The proposed new structure
would be a two-track affair, accord
ing to the tentat've announcements
issued some months ago. The pres
ent bridge contains but a single
I rack.

MAUK REFUSES TO
DISCUSS CHARGES
(Continued From First Page)
have been lodged against Mauk, who
is now out of jail under S6OO bail for
a preliminary hearing before Alder
man C. E. Murray to-morrow after
noon at 3 o'clock. Mauk was ar
rested last night after investigations
by County Detective James Walters,
when the facts were brought to the
attention- of District Attorney Mich
ael E. Stroup. The information was
placed before Alderman Murray
who issued a warrant for Mauk's ar
rest, which was made by Constable
Grove.
The investigation which brought
the gruesome allegations to light was
ordered by District Attorney Stroup
after relatives of Howard Mc-
Cracken, of Altoona, who died in the
State Hospital last week, called at
tention to the alleged shoddy burial
given McCracken-.
The body of McCracken, who died
in the State Hospital last Thursday,
was turned over to Undertaker Mauk
by Coroner Eckinger for burial.
Relatives are said to havo made ar
rangements for the funeral to take
place on Monday, but when they ar
rived in this city on that day, they
declare they found that the body had
been- buried on Saturday.
A fee of $5 for minister's services
is said to have been charged by
Mauk, but when he could not fur
nish the name of the officiating
clergyman, relatives became dubious
and, investigating, found that none
had been employed. Mauk is said
to have admitted that this was prob
able since he was out of the city
that day, an-d to have refunded the
fee charged.
Suspicious then, relatives became
desirous of viewing the corpse and
secured a permit to have the body
exhumed. Said to have been clad
only in underwear and with a bundle
of excelsior covered only with a piece
of linen, the body is declared to have
been found in a rough pine box, cov
ered with black paper. A total of
$l2O is said to have beer.- paid by
relatives for the casket, minister's
services, embalming, shroud and
other incidentals. The facts were
then placed in the hands of Alder
man Murray and then in the hands
of District Attorney Stroup and the
investigation- followed.
The second case, the one in which
a pasteboard box, tied with rope, is
said to have been used, is that of an
infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
VanFuskirk, 2917 Bank street,
Pittsburgh. The death of the child
is said to have occurred on Octo
ber 13 and the facts said to have
been revealed when the body was
exhumed to be buried irr the same
plot of ground with the father, who
died on March 1.
In neither of the cases were the
bodies embalmed, according to the
information made against Mauk.
EASILY FIXED
Hurrying to tho- side of the con

"Do you think that I will have

"Oh, yes," answered the conduc
tor.
"But, suppose," suggested the
thirsty passenger, "that the train
should go on- without me?"
"We can easily fix that," prompt

NEW YORK STATE
AUTHORITIES PAY
FINEGANTRIBUTE
Great Loss to the State Is Opinion of Associates of Noted
Educator Who Gomes to Pennsylvania to Become State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
New York State authorities have i
given an expression of much re
gret at the departure of Dr. Thomas
E. Finegan to become Pennsylva
nia Supe<rintendent of Public In
struction.
The Albany Argus, of May 30,
says:
"The State Board of Regents, in
session yesterday, accepted the resig
nation of Dr. Thomas E. Finegan,
deputy state commissioner of edu
cation, who has accepted the post of
Superintendent of Public Instruction
of Pennsylvania. Tribute to the
memory of Dr. Henry P. Warren,
late head of the Albany Academy,
was also paid by the regents, who
requested Dr. John H. Finley, State
commissioner of education, to attend
the funeral services yesterday after
noon, and authorized the closing of
the work of the Department of Edu
cation for the day ot 3 o'clock, as
a mark of respect.
Dr. "Finegan's resignation was pre
sented by Dr. Finley. It is to be
come effective September 1. At Dr.
Finegan's request that lie be allowed
time to acquaint himself with his
new duties simultaneously while
winding up his affairs in the New
York State department. In his
resignation Dr. Finegan said:
"It is needless to say that I sever
my relations with this work with |
the keenest regret, and that 1 shall
always cherish the opportunities
that have been given- me here und
the associations, official and other
wise, with you and with the board
of regents."
Every member of the board of re
gents expressed regret over the loss
of Dr. Finegan's services, and ex
pressed appreciation of Dr. Finegan s
work during the years of his con
nection with the department. The
following statement was made by
Dr. Finley:
Doss to Department
"I have, most regretably, to begin
mv report to you this month by offi
cially advising you, as I have already
advised you personally, of the ap
proaching withdrawal of Dr. Finegan
from this department. It is a loss
to the department and to the State
which I can-not adequately appraise
in a few sentences. My temptation
is to put first my personal loss, for
my first thought was that I did not
know how I should be able to go on
without that vigorous, ever active

Hitchcock Resolution Order
ing Probe Adopted After
Sharp Debate Today
By Associated Press.
Washington, June 6.— Investiga
tion cf how copies of the Peace
Treaty with Germany reached per
sons in New York, was ordered to
day by the Senate.
Without a record vote and after
u sharp debate, the Senate adopted
a reso'ution by Senator Hitchcock,
Democrat, of Nebraska, providing,
for an inquiry into charges made on
the floor two days ago by Chairman
Lodge and Senator Borah, of the
Foreign Relations Committee.
Action on the Hitchcock resolu
tion came after a substitute resolu
tion hy Senator Kellogg, Republican,
of Minnesota, had been withdrawn
at the request of Senator Lodge.
Senator Hitchcock charged the sub
stitute would not authorize the in
vestigation he proposed in his reso
lution.
The resolution of Senator John
son, Republican, of California, re
questing the State Department to
furnish the Senate with a copy of the
German Peace Treaty, was adopted
to-day by the Senate, without a roll
call without further debate and with
only a handful of Senators present.
Will Go Up 15,000 Feet in
Plane to "Snap" Eclipse
PROP. DAVID TODD
Cutting down the millions of miles
of space between the earth and the
sun by mere ten or fifteen thousand
feet may not seem much, but by do
ing so Professor David Todd, direct
or of the Amherst College astron
omical observatory, expects to ob
tain- better photographs than were
ever taken before of a solar eclipse.
He has a naval airplane on board a
a steamship, which will go out of
its regular course so that he may
have an opportunity to "snap" the
eclipse on May 29, several hundred
miles off Montevideo. Upon weath
er conditions will depend the alti
tude to which Professor Todd's pilot
will aceend, but he intends to go far
above
testing his capacity, his soundness
of judgment and his executive abil
ity. I have put more and more re- -
sponsibility upon him, and finally, i
with the permission of the board, ,
entrusted to him the direction of '
the department during my absence
of the last year. How fully he has j
met that responsibility you know as
well as I.
"But it is more than a personal '
loss. It is a great loss to the State,
with whoso schools ho has been i
inden-tificd so closely, do helpfully
and for so many years. 1 cannot
undertake to speak for them, but
I have urged the teachers and of*
ficers to make their tribute for
themselves. Especially will ho be •
missed by the normal schools and
by the district superintendents, with
whom he has been in- closest and
most helpful relationship.
"And then he will be markedly
missed in the legislative work, the
burdens and the battles of which he
has' so effectively borne and waged
on behalf of the schools through so
many years. He has been, in his ad
vancing positions, a man- of single
purpose, of indefatigable industry, of
indomitable energy, of clear mind
and of courageous expression and ac
t tion.
"New York may well be proud of
what one of her country schoolboys
has achieved through the training of
her schools and of .what she is,
through him, able to contribute to
the training of the children of an
other great State."
The regents adopted the following
resolution in accepting Dr. Finegan's
resignation:
Voted that this board has
learned with profound regret of
the proposed departure of Dep
uty Commissioner Thomas E.
Finegan from the service of the
University after more than a
quarter of a century of dis
tinguished service. It expresses
its entire agreement in the re
marks of the president of the
University regarding Dr. Fine
gar?, and assures him that he
carries with him to his new
field of labor the best wishes of
every member of the board and
of every one connected with the
University. The University is
losing the services of a most
distinguished educator who has
well earned a National reputa
tion in the great cause to
which he has dedicated his life.

The show people may not have un
derstood the Mayor's motive, but
they convinced themselves that tho
blunt, unbending attitude of tho
city's executive was final.
"Nothing doing," said the Mayor
"No circus, big or small, can ex
hibit in this city unless there is a
positive assurance given the police
department that there will be a cir
j cus and not a place for the opera
tions of gamblers and thugs whose
purpose would be to rob the public.
The show people understand this
and, furthermore, the police will see
that the first semblance of crooked
work will result seriously for those
responsible."
