Money is also being sent to West Virginia from the headquarters in Indianapolis, but Secretary Wilson said to-day that the national organization has not spent a cent supporting the anthracite strike, which is now in its

eighth week.

The anthracit* miners’ locals were preparing for the strike several months ahead, and they have funds to hold out several weeks longer without appealing to the national. ~ . • The provisions that are going to West Virginia consist of meal, fiour, pork, bacon, beans, salt and popper and other articles of common food. The railroads, Wilson says, have been slow In delivering the provisions. “We are getting our supplies now in Cincinnati and Columbus.’’ said he. “The first car we shipped out of Cincinnati the road charged us 1107, a rate of 29 cents a hundred pounds. We went to Columbus then and obtained a rate of 15 cents a hundred. This was shown to the wholesale men of Cincinnati. The latter took the matter up with the railroad, resulting in the latter giving us a rebate and a profuse apology for the

overcharge.

UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.

Seventeen Hundred Machinists Affected by General .Order. OMAHA, Neb., June 30.—The order authorizing a strike of all the machinists on the Union Pacific system went into effect at 10 o’clock to-day. There were few men left to walk out in Omaha and Council Bluffs, however, the machine shops having been closed down Friday night. There will be about 1,700 men affected by the strike. This will include moldem and boiler-makers, who have already struck, those who were locked out and those who are expected to obey the strike order. Seven hundred men are idle at Cheyenne. Reports received at headquarters here state that the machinists at Grand Island, Neb., and Evanston, Wyo., did not strike.

One Man was Badly Shocked—Service Disarranged. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] GREENCASTLE, Ind., June 30.—Chas. Huffman, of this city, received an almost fatal shock from a broken electric light wire Saturday, by the tip of one of the ribs of his umbrella touching a telephone pole, against which the wire rested. The same telephone pole caught fl/e last night from the same wire, which had again broken, and was almost consumed before the powerhouse could be reached to shut off the current. The telephone system of the city was so affected from the leaking light wire that the operators at the exchange were heavily shocked. MISS LANGTRY MARRIED.

JOHNSON SCORES STATE. Mayor of Cleveland Discusses Su-

preme Court Decision.

CLEVELAND. June 30.—Mayor Tom L. Johnson has given out a signed statement relative to the decision of the Ohio Supreme Court declaring the federal plan of municipal government unconstitutional. Mr. Johnson’s letter says In part: “The ouster proceeding had its origin with cheap politicians backed by interests opposed to things the city administration stood for. It would have ended there but for the action of Attorney-General Sheets, with the advice and consent, I am informed, of the State administration. “Without the approval of Attorney-Gen-eral Sheets no case could have been brought in the Supreme Court, and after

this suit was begun he refused to comply

wlth the request of Cincinnati attorneys to test the Cincinnati law. It was an attempt to play politics, but the result will show that it was poor politics. The entire responsibility rests with Attorney-General

Sheets and his advisers.

“The important question is, however, what shall be done? I believe the Supreme Court should be praised rather than blamed for its courageous declsi in. It was the timidity of its predecessors that made possible so much special legislation.” In conclusion, Mr. Johnson declares that it has been demonstrated that the federal plan of municipal government is the best that can be devised. He expresses the hope that it will be adopted for the government of all Ohio cities at the special session

the Legislature.

—" 1 a ■ - FORGED A CHECK.

—i United States Steel Corporation Increases Pay. Three thousand common laborers em- ' ployed by the United States Steel Corporation In this State will have their wages advanced 10 per cent, to-morrow. The total increase In the pay roll for a year in this State is estimated by State Factory Inspector D. H. Me A bee at

3135,000.

The increase does not apply to the skilled laborers in the organizations, between whom and the company there are annual agreements, having several months yet to run. The Increase affects 100,000 employes throughout the country and amounts to an annual increase In the pay roll of the company of $4,000,000. The wages earned by the unskilled laborers now amount to $1.50 a day on an average. D. H. McAbee says that in estimating the increase In the wages to be paid in Indiana, the estimate must not be confined to the trust’s plants. “The independent plants will be forced to follow, and Indiana laborers will benefit not less than $270,000 a year by this* increase,” he says. - 1 STORY FROM IRVINGTON. Fisherman Tells of the Failure of the Thirteen Hoodoo. From classic Irvington comes a story that lops off the last tottering leg on which the “thirteen hoodoo” superstition was left to stand. A citizen of th© town, Mr. Thomas Pollard, whose name has thirteen letters, proposed a fishing trip to Sugar creek a few days ago. Just as he was about to start, he found a string of street car tickets—thirteen of them. He counted the tickets four times; the number was unquestionable, and he debated whether to start In the face ot such a warning. Fisherman's luck is proverbially a delicate thing, but he dared. At the creek he found the fish ready to bite and anxious to be caught, and In a few hours he had captured thirteen fine specimens of bass and redeyes, the largest weighing nearly two pounds. By that time he was beginning to think the hoodoo was not In operation that day, but he could not add the fourteenth fish to the string, although he tried several hours. At last he gave up in despair and drove to town. Arriving there, he found he had been gone exactly thirteen hours and had driven thirteen miles. He divided his fish with a friend, and it was later learned that thirteen people had eaten them. Mr. Pollard is a house painter, and since he has proved himself immune to the hoodoo of thirteen, he will hereafter walk under his ladders with Impunity. BUCKET-SHOP CASE HEARD.

Chicago Lawyers Appear in Federal Court for Board of Trade.

The application of the Chicago Board of Trade for a temporary order restraining L. A. Kinsey & Co., Tallantire & Co., Lyman W. Lewis and others from using its quotations, was heard by Judge John H. Baker, of the Federal Court, to-day. This Is known widely as the “bucketshop” case. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants are using tM quotations unlawfully. Some of the defendants filed an answer making a general denial and a demurrer. This was overruled by the court this forenoon, but in doing so Judge Baker said that he had not affected the merits of the case. Several Chicago and Indianapolis attorneys participated in the argument. The plantiff’s attorney held that the right of property In the market quotations was vested In the board; that the right to distribute the quotations was also vested in the board.

Local Financiers Trying to Learn the Caaier # Movement. The movement of Indianapolis Street Car Company stock in Philadelphia and New York is of much Interest In Indianapolis financial circles, where an effort is being made to figure the cause. No one seems to know what is going on, but the sudden demand for the stock at higher prices has giVen an impression that a big deal of some kind is contemplated. Local financiers are trying to determine the relationship of the United Gas Improvement Company, the Widener-Elktns syndicate and other prominent Eastern financiers In the present situation. The United Gas Improvement Company is a Wldener-Etklns property. As it has been the understanding for a long time that the latter syndicate has control of the Indianapolis lines, local financiers are disinclined to place much credit in the reports from the East that the United Gas Improvement Company Is buying heavily of the stock In order to get control. Stock Being Bought. Those who believe a merger of the Indianapolis system with the Union Traction and other interurban lines Is contemplated, ir spite of the denials of Hugh J: McGowan, who would be In a position to know If nego^atlons are In progress, are of the opinion that the Widener-Elktns interests desire to get hold of as much stock as possible before the merger is perfected. , , , _ ,, There has been a steady rise in Indianapolis Street Car Company stocks for some time. Local brokers have been advising their customers to buy. One firm to show the rapid advance, has sent out u letter under date of June 28, quoting from another letter of January 22, when Indianapolis Street Car Company stock sold at 48 cents. A week later the stock sold at 60 cents and it is now 75 bid. Increase in Earnings. A circular issued by the same firm advising Its customers to buy says that the gross earnings of the street car company for 1901 were $1,331,000 and that the first three months of this year show an average increase of $10,000. On that ^asis of increase it te figured that the gross earnings of the company will reach $1,500,000. It Is figured by some who do not believe a merger is contemplated at this time that the easterners who are on the inside believe that the company here will soon be declaring dividends on its stock and on that account they want to acquire all the stock In sight, as a dividend would mean a further advance In prices. If a merger Is to be made, the promoters, according to an official of the Greenfield line, which it is said will oe included, declared to-day that no proposition has been made to his company.

September corn was %c to R4c up at 62c to 68c, and rose %c higher later In the morning. December corn touched 49c, as against 47%c at

the close Saturday.

Oats and wheat also felt the effect of the almost unparalleled rains of the last two or three days. July oats rose IVJc, to 48J4c, the old grade to 43c, as against 40&C on Saturday; the September and December options making about the same gain.

July Wheat Soared.

July wheat went up l>4c to 74Hc, September 1%C to 74o add December l%c to 7494c. Provisions were 5c to 16c up, partly in sympathy with the grain advance. ’Ihe general feeling was shown on the curb a half hour before business opened on the exchange.

W Effect on Oats.

The worst effect of the rain would be on the oats crop, it was said, the situation of which is erttleal. Warm, dry weather is necessary, it was said, to save the crop. Temperatures were reported too lew for the corn crop, which is making no progress in a large and Important

area.

High Prices at the Close. July corn went to 7294c for the high point of the day, closing only tyc below the top mark at 12\%c. July wheat reached 75c just before the close, the last sale being at 74*S4c. Oats reached a record price for July at 48%c, closing there. The later deliveries for the three grains made corresponding gains and closed

near the highest.

The rains are still coming down and those who are talking 80 cents for corn and unprecedented prices for oats are yet
