DISRESPECT FOR WYNNE. During the trial of Stahl in the Police Ccurt, Mr. Noel s altitude was one of contempt for the committee, and hi statement on the witness stand and to the muhmI for Stahl were in flat contradiction to the won statements of Mr. "Wynne and Mr. Eppert. The climax cam; d'iring the examination of Mr. Wynne by Attorney Duncan. Mr. Noel prompted Mr. Duncan to ask the witm-ss if Mr. Wynne, in a conversation with Mr. Noel at the Columbia Club, had not said that "if he had taken as much money from Fred H- ier as gome of the people had done he could not look him in the face?" The statement was indignantly refuted by Mr. Wynne then and afterward. The chairman of the committee declares no such conversation ever occurred. Mr. Noel also said, by inference, that Mr. Wynne and Mr. Eppert had not told the truth when they swore that he had told them there was no evidence against Igsdon after the pricking of the Stahl bubble. This was the straw that broke Noel's back with his employers.

the News r.nd the League had refused to i km any past in the investigation along with the Council committee. Mr. Noel had no justification to make. He stated to the members .f the committee, both Mr. Wynne and Mr. Eppert say, that, even of the man whose acts were heJnR investigated, and who manifested publicly such an entire lack of harmony with the committee was ustless so far as conducting a fair investigation was concerned. They met yesterday afternoon and decM'-l that the only recourse left to them was to dismiss Noel. INVESTIGATION WILL GO ON. The attorney has already been paid 1200, und the committee will doubtless allow him something more for his services. The remainder of the fund of J500 provided by Vuncil for the investigation will go to the attorney who is chosen to succeed Noel. There have been a number of applications for the place. The committee has not decided who to appoint and may not announce its decision for several days.

BIT llni'l. IS STRONG OF ADJUSTMENT OF BLÜFOKU STRIKE. Monroe County Men Relaie to Unionise Traction Men Win a VictoryTin l'late Wage Scale. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD. Ind., June 6. The lock-out situation at this place, in the stone quarries and mills, has not materially changed much. A mass meeting of all union labor organizations was held this afternoon to talk the matter over and try, by some means, to settle the difference. As the meeting adjourned with much good humor manifested it is confidently hoped and expected that some agreement will be reached before many days. If the operators will sign the scale asked, this, it is claimed by the men, will constitute a recognition of the union. This has been one of the most important points of difference. Meetings of the several unions will be held on Suuday. Qnarrymen Refuse to Organise. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON. Ind., June 6.-It has become known here that an effort to organize the stone mtn of the oolitic fields of Monroe countyas failed. The men refused to Join the union if it means that they must strike in sympathy with the stone workmen in and about Bedford. The operators here guarantee their workmen such prices as may result from a settlement of the contest at Bedford. It is no secret that the Walsh and Consolidated interests at Bedford, which are much the largest of the oolitic stone companies, have notified their workmen that under no conditions will the union be recognised, but, on the other hand, if it is a question of wages, the strike can soon be settled. Most of the quarrymcn out of work have left Bedford. They could not get work in the Monroe county field. TIN PLATE WAGE CONFERENCE. Harmonious Meeting; W ill Be Held In Pittsburg, Beginning Tuesday.

Madine, Pittsburg; Benjamin Teegarden, Martin's Ferry, O.; Wililiam Edwards, Chester, Pa. The men are seeking to secure improved working conditions rather than a direct Increase in wages and In view of the fact that the company has signed the Amalgamated Association, or hot mill, scale, a harmonious conference is anticipated. Traction Men Win a Victory. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES, Ind., June 6.-Motormen, shopmen and engineers of the Clltzens' Street-railway, of which Benjamin G. Hudnut, of Terre Haute, is principal owner and president, won their fight to-night for a reduction of working hours and from $1 to $1.50 weekly increase in wages. EAST ST. LOUIS IN DANGER. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) not known how long even this may be available. Residents of Missouri avenue, a street running east and west through the heart of the city of East St. Louis, have been notified by the authorities that the first stories of their buildings are in danger from the flood. They are now moving their goods to the second floors. In East St. Louis the freight yards under water are the Chicago. Peoria & St. Louis, the Clover Leaf, the Wabash, the Burlington, the Chicago & Alton, the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Vandalia. The water is up to the tracks of the Chicago & Alton at Bridge Junction and men with sacks of earth have been sent there to keep it out.

The levee suddenly gave way and the water poured through in a torrent, but the people had been warned .ind were on the alert, and all got to higher .ground In safety. Effect of the Flood. The floods In and around St. Louis are likely to cause a temporary increase of ft traffic at the Union stockyards in this city. The National stockyards at East St. Louis are almost entirely submerged, and but one shipment has been received here from that point during the last two days. Some shipments that usually go to East St. Louis will come here. The Vandalia trains were reported on time, with about the regular run of business, aud this was also true of the Big Four line.
