MEAT FAMINE FEARED

CHICAGO'S ih:i:p si pply tit off by TCAM5TERV STRIKH. Porkers I'nnhle to Deliver to Deal er, and Wholesaler nnil Retaller May Close Their Place. CHICAGO, May 27.-Chicago'3 beef supply from the stockyards has been almost entirely cut off and unless the concessions demanded by the striking teamsters are granted within the next day or two the city will be face to face with a meat famine. The situation is growing mure alarming with the passing of each day. Not only have the big packers failed in every attempt to smuggle meat out of the yards, but the wholesale and retail butchers who usually drive their own wagons into the yards and take out loads of provisions have been forbidden to do so in the future. A number of them were to-day allowed to carry away stuff that they had bought of the packet, but they w re warned not to return for any more until the trouble is Fettled- As a result there Is a movement on foot among the l.'Jpt or more butchers of Chicago to close their shops for a week or two, or a3 long as may be necessary to lefeat the packers In their fight against the teamsters. Most of them declare that they are in sympathy with the strikers and feel that stopping the sale of beef would be the most effective way to help the teamstrs. No unions have yet declared a sympathetic strike, but many individual members have been doing al! in their power to aid the teamsters, and if the present situation continues much longer it is asserted in union circles that other locals, such as the ice and coal men. may join the teamsters. Fix or the smaller firms to-day met the demands of the strikers and signed the new scale, but the big concerns are defiant. (ienernl Labor im. PHILADELPHIA. Five hundred damask weavers went on strike to-day for higher wages, closing a number of mills.

They have the support of the Brotherhood of Railway Telegraphers, and assert that nearly every' operator on the line belongs to that organization. AIDING SUGAH TRUST.

Hallways Accused of Helping: to Kill the Deet Suirnr Industry. CHICAGO, May 27. Some of the Western railroads are accused of helping the American Sugar Refining Company, commonly called the "sugar trust," in Its efforts to kill the beet-sugar industry in Nebraska and Colorado, says the Inter Ocean. The Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroads have joined the Mallory steamship line in making a through rate of 33 cents per 10O pounds on sugar from New York via Galveston to Kansas City. St. Joseph, Omaha and Lincoln, Nth. On this rate the so-called sugar trust has just shipped Into the Missouri river territory twenty-six carloads of sugar, aggregating 5.0u0.w0 pounds. The result is that this sugar is put on the market at a lower figure than the beet-sugar growers of Nebraska and Colorado can meet and realize any prolit. The Illinois Central Rrailroad has given notice that It will join in making, via New Orleans, the same rate of 33 cents from New York to Missouri river points that other roads are making via Galveston. MISSING BOY FOUND. Hud Unlisted In the United State Nnvj- Under nn Assumed Name. NEW YORK. May 27. Walter Rolger, the eighteen-year-old son of Taul S. Rolger, of Yonkers, N. Y., who disappeared from his home on Nov. 19 last, has been found by his father after one of the most remarkable searches in history. The young man was located on the training ship Franklin at Norfolk, Va., to-day, and later his mother heard his voice over the longdistance telephone from Washington. Ever since the disappearance detectives have conducted the search in all parts of the world. Mr. Rolger sparing none of his wealth In employing them. A clew was at last found in Washington and the father went there. Aided by Assistant Secretary of War Sanger Walter was found to be on the Franklin under an assumed name. ALARM IN MARTINIQUE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) oval, containing on land about eignt square mlle3 of destruction. This oval is partly over the sea. The land part is bounded by lines running from Le Precheur to the peak of Mont Pelee, thence curving around to Carbet. There were three well-marked zones first, a center of annihilation in which all life, animal and vegetable, was entirely destroyed: the greater portion of St. Pierre was in this zone. Second, a zone of singeing, blistering flame, which also was fatal to all life, killing all men and vegetable life, burning the leaves on the trees, scorching but not utterly destroying the trees themselves. Third, a large outer destructive zone of ashes, wherein some vegetation was injured. "The focus of annihilation was the new crater midway between the sea and the peak of Mont Pelee, where now exists a new area of active volcanoism, with nun-' dreds of fumaroles, or new volcanoes. The new crater is now vomiting black, hot mud, which U falling into the sea. Both craters, the old and new. are active. Mushroomshaped steam explosions constantly ascend from the old crater, while heavy ash-laden clouds float horizontally from the new crater. The old ejects steam, mud. smoke, pumice and papelli, but no molten lava. 'The salient topography of the region is unaltered. The destruction of St. I'ierre was due to the new crater. The explosion had great superficial force, acting in radial directions, as is evidenced by the dismounting and carrying for yards the guns in the battery on the hill south of St. Pierre and the colonial statue of the virgin in the same locality, and also by the condition of the ruined houses In St. I'ierre. "According to the testimony of some persons there was an accompanying flame. Others think the incandescent cinders and the force of their ejection were sufficient to cause the destruction. This must be investigated. I am following the nature of this hill." This is the first positive and scientific statement, based on observed facts. Professor Hill has now started on horseback for the volcano. He will study the whole affected area, and will try to get to both craters. He will surely visit Mourne Rouge and the slope of Mont Pelee. The undertaking is very hazardous, as explosions may occur at any moment, as one did on May 20. Professor Hill knows the risk he takes, but he says the only way to discover exactly what has happened Is to go to the crater itself or as near It as possible. He will be gone two days. Planters Want Refugee. KINGSTON. Jamaica, May 27. The planters here, including: the United Fruit Company, an American concern, are warmly supporting the proposal to bring hundreds of the sufferers from the volcanic outbreak on the Island of St. Vincent to work on estates here and also to settle them on the crown lands. The government of Jamaica is being asked to make an offer to transport people from St. Vincent to Jamaica. Refugees to Be Sent A uny. PARIS, May 27. In order to avoid a possible epidemic among the 7,000 refugees now at Fort de France it has been decided to distribute them among a number of depots. Cable Repaired. NEW YORK, May 27.

The Indianapolis ball team now hovers so close to first place that It can nearly see a clear road ahead without any other team obstructing the view. This was brought about yesterday by a victory over the Columbus aggregation by a score of 7 to 3. If the trick can be turned again to-day the lloosiers will lead the procession. Manager Watkins will see that the cards are well shuffled, and he will put a dealer in the box this afternoon with whom he hopes to be able to take a second victory from the aggregation that has sojourned at the top of the ladder nearly all season. , There was one brief half inning in yesterday's battle in which Columbus had the pleasure of holding the lead. In the last half of the Inning Indianapolis wiped it out, and throughout the remainder of the scrappy contest the home team kept well in front. Indianapolis had scored one In the first inning to give the crowd a chance to root, and in the first of the fourth the senators drove two tallies across the rubber, placing them one to the good. The spectators did not lose heart, but It did seem to become perceptibly cooler just at that time. Women in the grand stand drew their wraps closer about them, and the men huddled closer together. When Indianapolis duplicated the visitors effort in the last half of the inning the spectators did not seem to mind the cool breezes that played havoc with those who wore low shoes and lisle thread hose. The game started out at a brisk gait, the lloosiers putting up such fast ball that it completely overshadowed anything that had been seen here earlier in the season. They were in the contest all the time, fielding well and batting and sacrificing with good results. In the first two innings Columbus was easily retired on pretty fielding. After the first man up in the third Mew to Fox. G. Fox hit a hard one toward Kihm. which caromed off the latter's leg. The next man was hit, but Coulter did some pretty work in center and retired the side on two hard chances. So the game went, with slight variations now and then, Indianapolis holding the best hand all the time. KIHM'S RATTING A FEATURE. Rut one error was charged against Indianapolis, and that went to Kuhns on a muff In the eighth inning. lie was so suro of Lally's long fly that his hands refused to clasp the ball when It descended. into his mitt. O'Brien and Fox played very fast ball and Rabb contributed a few star efforts. It was a gala day for Coulter in center. He was kept moving and had six putouts to his credit. Kihm was probably the bright stellar luminary. He gathered In all kinds of throws, and the way he swatted the ball was a soothing balm for the chills. Two singles and two doubles were credited to his base-hit column. With such support and the benders used by Sutthoff there was no reason under the azure sky why Indianapolis should not win. A big, chunky fellow with faded orangecolor hair perched on the slab for Columbus. The score card gave his name as Coggswell, and Manager Grim, of the visiting team, believed he had about the proper slants with whicn to fo 1 the lloosiers. He did mix them up in a pretty lively fashion, and the left-on-base record will show that he was effective at trying times. But there were enough hits secured off him, combined with some of the errors, to give Indianapolis the victory. Columbus played a much faster game than the score shows, and It was no easy picking to place the visitors in the background. Indianapolis started the tallying in the first inning with a single run. llogriever flew out as a starter and Kuhns dumped one In left. O'Brien forced him at second, and then the mighty Kihm faced the thickset pitcher. Kihm chose a nice one and the ball took up its course toward left field. It made Dan Lally do a lively dash to keep It from rolling to the fence. O'Brien opened the speed lever on the crack of the bat and scored from first on the hit, Kihm making second. Babb went out, retiring the side. Some pretty work was done in the second inning, but It availed nothing. HOOSIEIIS AGAIN TAKE LEAD. In the fourth, after Lally dribbled one to Fox and went out to first, Sutthoff became liberal and passed Myer. . The latter wore a huge piece of plaster on his chin, and Sutthoff thought he should be considerate, believing that Myers's chin was freezing. Evans poked one into right for a base, and then Nattress connected with an lnshoot, sending the ball to right for three bases. G. Fox went out, leaving Nattress at third. The lloosiers did not allow Columbus to remain long in the lead, for in the second half of the inning they scored two. Kihm singled and Rabb drew a ticket. Coulter sacrificed and Fox hit to Turner. Kihm being caught at the plate. Fox stole second and Heydon lifted one into short center, furnishing the means for Babb and Fox to score. Sutthoff was retired from pitcher to first. Indianapolis went still farther in the lead in the fifth with a trio of runs. Hogriever drew a ticket and Kuhns hit to second. Evans fumbling the ball. Myers picked it up and made a wild throw to second, allowing Hogriever to score and Kuhns to reach second. O'Brien hit to Turner, who made a bad throw to second to catch Kuhns, who worked a clever little scheme to draw a throw. Klhm's hit filled the bases and Coulter scored Kuhns and O'Brien with a single. Coggswell's wild throw to first. Fox's sacrifice, two bases on balls and an out gave Indianapolis their last tally in the seventh. Columbus scored their last in the eighth on Knoll's tingle, Kuhns's error and an out. A fast double play by Fox, O'Brien and Kihm ended the game in the ninth. The score: Indianapolis. A. R. R. Hogriever, rf 4 1 Kuhns. If 5 1 O'Brien, s 5 2 Kihm, 1 5 0 Rabb. 3 3 1 Coulter, cf 4 1 W.

Manager Grim, of Columbus, received a box of cigars before the game yesterday. Only five points between Indianapolis and first place. To-day's game will do the work if Indianapolis wins it. The crowd yesterday was .encouraging. While It was cold there were over 1,200 paid admissions, which shows there Is still a great deal of interest in baseball. Louisville will be the attraction on Decoration day. The Tebeau crowd ia striving hard to get to the top and Is In strong- third Elace. The morning game next Friday will e called at 10 o'clock and the afternoon game at 3:45. Killen will pitch for Indianapolis to-day and Wagner will probably do slab work for Columbus. This will be Killen's first appearance on the home gTound. He was injured in the first exhibition game at home and was not able to get back in the Käme until the team was on the trip. He made a good record away from home and should be able to land a victory to-day. Indianapolis will not play at Marion next Sunday. The game scheduled for Indianapolis with Louisville will be played at Louisville. This was under a prior arrangement with Manager Tebeau, of the Louisville team, before the Marion deal was made.

State Anrmnl and Heir Polytechnic Students Pound Each Other. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. May 27.-Indiana Normal won from Rose to-day by bunching hits in two innings when Rose made errors. Indiana Normal has won both games from Rose this year. After the game there was a free-for-all fight between about one hundred Normal students and fifty Rose men, started in an effort by the Normal students to take down a pennant with "R. P. I." on it, which had been hoisted during the game. Since the formal students took to athletics, a lewyears ago. there has been strong feeling between the two schools, which has caused two or three clashes, the Rose young men treating the pedagogues with more or les disdain. Normal students have made rapid strides in athletics, however, and this year, especially, have led Rose in state intercol legiate contests. The pennant to-day was accepted as a taunt, and it was not long before there was a general engagement. At hrst some baseball bats were used, but enough cooler head prompted strong arms to take the bats from the students who were wielding them. For ten minutes the 150 men were in close quarters. Then the police were called, but whn the patrol wagon filled with officers arrived Rose students had captured their own pennant and the light was over. No one was badly injured, but there was a ragged lot of clothing on the combatants.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) tied not to bring, into Kentucky any person who has not a certificate of recent vaccination from the proper health authorities." Dr. Hurty was expected to return last night from Louisville, but he was unable to come on account of the long conference held last night with the Kentucky health authorities in Louisville. DEPRECATE SCARE TALK. Prominent Citizens of New Albany In the City. Postmaster Morris. Chief of Tolice Adams and Captain Cannon, of the police, all of New Albany, were in the city yesterday as witnesses in the United States Circuit Court. All of thera were somewhat disturbed regarding the story that Kentucky might so shut out the cities of Jeffersonville and New Albany from communication with Kentucky because of reports of smallpox in the Indiana cities. Postmaster Morris said that there had been a mild case of smallpox in New Albany some time ago, but it was taken care of and there is none now. Chief of Police Adams said that some time ago there were five cases in Floyd county, but they were so promptly taken In hand that there is not now and has not been for quite a time a case in the city of New Albany. Mr. Cannon made the same statement. All of them were Informed by the authorities of Jeffersonville that there is none of the dlsevise in that city except in the Reformatory, where it is Quarantined. There are now in the Reformatory about twenty cases, all mild so mild that part of them are due to eruption caused by vaccination. Recently Governor Durbin had a competent physician look about Jeffersonville and New Albany to ascertain if the cases were sufficient In number to warrant unusual procedure, and his report was that there was ro smallpox to amount to anything and had been only a few scattering cases, which is supported by the statement of Postmaster Morris that "our people know nothing about the smallpox except what they see in outside newspapers." A listener said that this scare about smallpox reminded him of a yellow fever scare late in the summer of lWi. As it was told by him it was rather vivid. "A health officer rushed into the presence or Governor Mount one day and said that the State must be quarantined against yellow fever in Tennessee and Kentucky, or else we would have it in this city, lie urged that a large amount of money be placed at the disposal of tha Board of Health. A small amount was so placed that it could be paid out on vouchers, but only a very small amount was called for. The correspondent of the Louisville CourierJournal, Mr. Russel Seeds, sent the story to that paper, whereupon two or three carloads of excited and indignant business men and citizens came to see Governor Mount to protest against the talked-of quarantine against Louisville. That was the end of the quarantine and of the yellow fever." Kentucky Will Aluo Suffer. To the Editor cf the Indianapolis Journal: The statement In Tuesday's Journal that In the event of a Kentucky smallpox quarantine against Indiana, "Kentucky would suffer slightly, while to Indiana a quarantine would mean the loss of thousands upon thousands of dollars," Is palpably erroneous. In fact, the business situation, so far as Louisville, New Albany and Jeffersonville are concerned, is about as broad as it la long. More than 1m) men and women, boys and girls from the Indiana towns are employed in Louisville. Louisville merchants and other employers seek Indiana labor of all kinds. The "lloosiers" as they are Jestingly styled are acknowledged to be ahead of the average native Kentuckian in energy, ability, faithfulness and sobriety. If all these Indiana employes loe their wages the Kentucky employers will lose their labor, which means hampered business and great loss of money to the Arms Involved. Furthermore, the gardeners and farmers of the Indiana fide cater largely to the Louisville markets. Every day streams of loaded market wagons cro..s th bridge before daylight to sell all kinds of produce in Louisville, frcm culves to cucumWrj. The stoppap-e of this steady flow of food material will mean corresponding lo;s of money and inconvenience to Louisville produce dealers. Even milk Is shlppt-d from Indiana to Louisville. A big money los will be felt by the two lines of railway which carry all these passengers to Louisville daily. The "Daisy" line is owned in Iy)uisvllle, and that big shortage will be felt In Kentucky. Of course, the exact proportions of tir.uucial distress cannot bj estimated, but it is by no means a matter important to Indiana alone. A GOOD HOOSIERNew Albany, May 27.

Off a Steamship Deck. NEW YORK. May 27.

The officials of the Hamburg-American steamship line to-day issued a statement designed to tet at rest vaiious rumors which they declared have been circulated exaggerating the damage suffered by the Deutschland on her last voyage from this port and reflecting on her deceased commander. Captain Albers. The statement says. In rart: "The damage to the Deutschland Is confined to the loss of the rudder and breaking of the stern post, which have to be replaced. The casting of a new stern pest and of a new rudder frame takes months and mounting and refitting them require no less than five months in the dry docks." The length of time required for the manufacture and replacement of the disabled parts and the fact that it Is difficult to obtain for so long a time a dry dock capable of accommodating a vessel of the size of the Deutschland explains why, the statement concludes, it will be Impossible to put the steanur again Into commission during the present season.
