A very large and pretty wedding occurred this morning in St. Joseph's j Catholic church when Miss Amelia R. Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Young, and Mr. John Idjorak were married. The hour for the ceremony was 9 o'clock and the Rev. Father Plaster read the beautiful nuptial mass, using the ring ceremony of the church. The auditorium of the church was tilled with the friends and relatives of the bridal couple, many of whom came from a distance to witness the ceremony. The altar was very beautifully decorated for the ceremony with hride's roses and palms, carrying out a color scheme in green and white.

During the reading of the service Mrs. Scherer continued to play very softly and the choir sang several beautiful finthems. Among them were the "Ava Maria" and "Gloria In Excelis," Mrs. Scherer sang the alto solos very prettly. The bridal chorus was played as a recessional. The bride was attired in a very handsome gown of white embroidered net over messaline silk. It wsi ri-'Vy trimmed in lace and braid fmbrn;."i i in silver.

STATE DEPARTBftENT MAY INTERFERE

STANDARD STEEL STRIKE

Pittsburg, Pa.. July 20. Baron Julius Bornanlsza, Austria-Hungary's consul at Pittsburg, left here last night for Washington to lay the steel car strike trouble before Secretary Knox. He conducted an investigation and enough j facts were secured to warrant governI ment intervention. j It is possible that the case will be I put up to President Taft for decision, and that the department of commerce and labor will take charg'e of the situation here. The mounted state constabulary and deputy sheriffs appeared to have the situation in control at the plants of the Pressed Steel Car company at McKee's Rocks and the Standard Steel Car Co. at Butler, although in many quarters the lull in hostilities was taken to presage a renewal of violence, rioting and taking of life. By noon efforts to reopen were abandoned by the steel officials and the strikers still were orderly. The battle between the troopers and the strikers yesterday morning followed the atetmpt of 500 strikers to tear down the company's high board fence at the Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad switch. After canceling his order for troopers, Sheriff Caldwell had again wired Superintendent Groome at Harrisburg for men, and a detail was hurried from Nancy Davis was the installing of ficer.

Punxsatawney by special train to the scene of the trouble. The appearance of the state troopers was received with yells of defiance by 2,000 strickers and their sympathizers. Captain Pitcher's command to the mob to disperse was met by a volley of shots, beer bottles, stones, pieces of boards and any missile that was handy. When the first shot rang out the troopers were ordere to charge, and rode their horses right Into the mass of men and some women and children. This terrified members of the mob, and they scattered In all directions, throwing stones as they ran. One man was reported shot, and three others and a woman were said to be seriously wounded. The troopers and deputy sheriffs are patroling around the works and through the main streets. President Frank N. Hoffstott of the Pressed Steel Car company has refused to see any committee, saying: "There is nothing to arbitrate." While exact figures, of course, are not obtainable, it is conservatively estimated that a loss of $60,000 a day Is incurred during the continuation of the strike. Nearly 6,000 men are idle. The plant has a capacity of about 100 cars a day, which sell at an average price of $1,000 each. The figures show that the company is enduring a tremendous loss while no product is being turned out.

ENGINEER HAS BEEN SENT HERE No definite action on the part of the Erie regarding a new depot or the re- I modeling of the old one will be taken j until after the next board of directors' i meeting. Sept. 1. The management has . heeded the call of Ilammond insofar as I to send an engineer or draughtsman to J Hammond to get the plans of the sta- ; tion as it is now. No explanation was ( given along with this step and leaves ; room only for the most optimistic to J hope that the problem may be laid before the board of directors and they favorable action. It is hardly thought that the company is taking the plans of the local station with the idea of supplanting it with a new one. but rather to remodel It so as to provide a separate waiting room for ladles and gentlemen and provide each with a washroom. Industrial Association Meets The officers and directors of the Industrial association met last evening in the Lake superior courtroom and perfected a permanent organization.

South Chicago. BIG JUMP IN REALTY VALUES (Continued from Page One.) this matter out saw that the time would come when the Webb frontage would be exhausted. They saw that when this frontage was exhausted the purchaser would have to deal with the individual owners of this property, and in view of the fact that these owners, for the most part have bought, not for speculation but to build homes, the sup- , ply would be away below tha demand t and the prices would go up accordingly. ; Merchants Spring Coup. The reason for the sudden jump in the price was the fact that Kaufmann & Wolf bought nine twenty-flve-foot lots, all that was left of the Webb estate, and suddenly exhausted the suppiy. ; Immediately half a dozen procrastina- j tors who had been intending all along , to buy fifty or 100 feet of this frontage ' heard of the Kaufmann & Wolf purchases, and there was a wild scramble for the Webb $30 a foot lots. They were ail gone. These purchasers then turned to the individual owners and found that none of them would sell for less than $50 a foot. John Dyer refused three purchasers his frontage near the corner of Hohman street and Conkey avenue after he had been offered $50 a foot, cold cash. He claims his property is worth $75 a foot now and that it will be worth $100 in two years. That is how it happened that Hohman street frontage jumped from a minimum price of $30 a foot to a minimum price of $50 a foot in twentyfour hours. And the choice property is being held for $60 to $75 a foot. AVliat Started Scramble. The whole scramble for Hohman street frontage started when Leo Wolf I bought 100 feet of Hohman street park

$1,000 A Year Income

On an investment of $6,000. Can you beat this? This is the biggest snap on the market today. There is positively NO re l S K . Certain improved income bearing property in a nearby city mnst be sacrificed at once. It is easily worth $10,1,00. A splendid proposition for some one who has the required amount of money and wants to retire from active business life. INVESTIGATION WILL PROVE THIS TO BE A GILT EDGED PROPOSITION. See ROSCOE G.
