The labor leaders have estimated that they can deprive the merchants of this city of $1,000,000 worth of husl ncss a day and that they can force the business interests of the city to take their sides in the light if the pressure is maintained hum enough and severely enough. Kvery kind of mercantile institution lias been seri ously affected by the boycott, even in this early stage. Saloon keepers are complaining that their bars are banned because they have sold beer to the loyal employees of the Rapid Transit company. Store keepers in Kensington, Germantown. Frankford and other centers of the strike have been hurt sorely. Their business has fallen off markedly. They are considering an appeal to the city authorities. They want to know why it is not possible under the laws to punish criminally persons who are re sjionsiblc for the loss to which they have been subjected The firm attitude of .Mayor Iteyburn I and Director of Public Safety Henry Clay has had much to do with re straining the men on strike and their sympathizers.

The orders were1 sharp. The minor leaders were told! that thev would be held responsible for any trouble that might occur. The result shows. In the opinion oi the city otlicials, that tho leaders can prevent disorder if they have a mind to do so. Heretofore they have insist ed that they were not responsible foi the stoning of cars. The union leaders at a mass meet lug of strikers in Lalior Lyceum hall asserted that there were 125,000 men on strike. Among those who spoke at the meeting were "W. D. Malum, Wil liam .1. Tracey.

The Philadel phia strikers have the sympathy of the laboring men in all parts of tho country, and 1 feel sure that if n vote was taken for thu general strike throughout the stute there would not be a dissenting vote.

BaHliier This Mr. YVIlsun denied. "Would not n general strike In Pitts burg at this time be a violation of the existing contracts?" Thorpe was asked. "Well, there are several ways that matter would be looked at." replied Thorpe, "but my answer to that tpies tlon is that In time of war there can be no violation of any kind. I con sider that war is being made on the labor movement us a result of the Philadelphia strike." ESTABLISHES A PRECEDENT. Flans on State Buildings In Albany Half Masted For Thomas C. Piatt.

Republi can leaders are outlining nlans for the campaign next fall for the elec-iwi11 tion of a majority of the House in friends of George S. Welsh, a form the Sixty-second Congress. The Re- er Hnwley boy, and a son of Mr. and publican Congressional Campaign -Mrs- J- s- Welsh, of this place: committee has organized by the re- "George Welsh of this city, of the election of Representative McKinley llrm of Welsh, Sturdevant & Poggi, of Illinois, as chairman, and Repre- I sentative Loudenslnger, of Xew Jer sey, secretary. Pennsylvania is rep resented on the committee by J. Hampton .Moore, of Philadelphia. The Republicans realize that they will have a hard fight to retain con trol of the House. Pennsylvania and other stalwart Republican 'states are expected to return the 3sual strong' Republican delegations but tho conditions in tho west are such as to present a situation full of uncertainty. Nearly all of the self-styled "progressive" Republi cans of that section will be candi dates for re-election. By voting' with the Democrats in the House they i have placed themselves In a posi-' Court's Decision of Interest to Fixa tion where they can expect no sup- ternal Bodies, port from the regular Republicans 'pile ,ew York Court of Appeals of their districts. In districts rep-, i,as iU8t handed down a decision resented by the insurgents, loyal Re- I Whlch will prove a serious blow to publicans have made it clear that fraternal Insurance orders and be they do not propose to vote for i Qf no nttle interest to members of so-called Republican candidates who tlle catholic Mutual Benevolent As will vote against that party in 'the , sochitiun in this place and else House. Champ. Clark, the leader of , where. the Democrats, lias predicted tnni. the course of the insurgent Republi cans will give the Democrats at least fifteen additional seats in the next House. As the Republican leader in Penn sylvania, Senator Penrose has been consulted regarding tho political conditions In that state. In IU04 when President Roosevelt was the presidential candidate Pennsylvania elected thirty-one Republican mem bers of tho House and ono Demo crat. Two years ago Democrats in creased their congressional represen tation to five. Since then Congress has enacted the Pnyno tariff law, which has brought a renewal of In dustrial activity throughout Penn sylvania. Senator Penrose believes that tho people of the Keystone state will take udvnntago of tho oppor tunity that will be presented next fall to record at the polls an Indorse ment of the new tariff law and or the party whifli placed it upon tho statutes. Ho confidently expects the Republicans to reclaim some of the districts now represented by Democrats and believes thnt with proper effort they may elect us lurge a Republican delegation as they did In 11104. Through the efforts of Senators Penrose and Oliver, Penn sylvania secured nearly everything it demanded In the rovlBlon of tho tariff schedules und they hope that tho people of the state will give ex- nresston at the polls of their satis faction with Republican policies by olectlng Republican candidates for Congress. All of tho Pennsylvania Republicans In Washington appear confident thnt the. Keystone state will mnko a splendid showing In tho congressional elections. In addi tion to tho satisfaction of tho peo ple of Pennsylvonla ovor tho Payne law is tho fact that tho Republicans there are In perfect harmony. Un der tho leadership of Senator Pen rose tho Republican hostB hayo boen united as they never wero united under the leadership of Simon Cam eron or Matthew Stanley Quay. Tho state Is free from debt and Is fur nishing other commonwealths nn cx amplo of good government. Its Re publicanism has remained free from damage. Khartum prepared to welcome Roosevelt. The cxarina was again centered In tho calling out b President Mut-pln f the t'i ui I. ! uui"t .f the taint of "progressive Republl ' canlsm." Under these conditions the prediction that Pennsylvania will make a satisfactory showing In tho congressional elections from the Re- publican viewpoint seems entirely justifiable.

Tho court held that the coun cil could not raise the rates higher than when Mr. Dowdall became a member where there was no specific provision In the constitution and by laws giving it the right to rnlso the rate.

He had told me some time ago that h was going to buy tills machine, and I asked liiin to let me have the first ride In It, and he promised me that he would. "Mr. Cudahy was out of town, I thought. He told nie when he went away "that he was going to Greenfield, Kan., to see about some cattle. I told that to our chauffeur, whose name is Fenn. And 1 told lilm that 1 was going to take this ride with Mr. Lillis. "I believe now that Fenn went at once and told Mr. Cudahy that I was going riding with Mr. Lillis. "Anyway, the car came, and Mr. Lil lis and I took the ride. It was a beau tiful day. We went away out in the country over the rocky roads. "We had such a delightful ride that we decided to repeat It the following dny.. We did so, and we stopped nt the Country club. Then wq made up out minds U go down nnijl cat at the Bal timore. We went down to the Balti more nnd had luncheon nnd then went away. "The next night we went out riding the third time. We got home rather late, and I asked Mr. Lillis to come In and stay awhile. We went into the library, and we had only been there Just a minute or two, Just chatting to gether about commonplace things, when who should rush Into the room, all excited and his eyes Muring like two coals of fire, but my husband. Fenn, our chauffeur, was with him. "When they came In they grabbed Mr. Lillis and began pounding him over the head with some sort of a con trivance out of the automobile. The way they beat lilm was awful. It looked to me like an Iron bar they used. It was as big as a man's arm. Why, I expected to see lilm killed any minute.

My maid, Frieda, came running upstairs and told nie they were cutting Mr. Lillis to pieces. "Then I thought of the police, and I ran to the telephone and called up the police station. They had that rope tied around him In such a way that when they pulled on It It doubled him up like a Jackknife. I rushed down stairs again and tried to interfere, but my husband lilt me in the face with ids fist, and Fenn said. 'Kick her out.' At that time the police came in." John P. Cudahy refused to discuss the case In any way or tell what hap pened in ills house. MRS. B0TKIN DIES IN JAIL. She Murdered Wife of Man She Loved With Poisoned Candy. San Francisco, March 8.
