TO SETTLE MATTER IN AMIABLE MANNER

Stage Employes 'Controversy With Murray May End Shortly.

OFFICIALS IN THE CITY

Fourth Vice President of the Union Talked at Meeting of Council.

An amiable settlement of the existing difficulties between the stage employes and O. G. Murray, proprietor of the Murray theatre, will soon be made Is the opinion of members of the Central Labor Council which held a meeting last night in the T. M. A. hall. Secretary Ellsworth Bass declined today to give the nature of the proposals to be made by the council, saying that at this time it might jeopardize the interests of the stage employes and might aggravate the controversy. It is declared by other members that unless the stage employes belonging to the union are permitted to work at the Murray theatre, the musicians who ire also union members will be required to quit work in compliance with an agreement the two unions have. Schlagel in City. Charles F. Schlagel. fourth vicepresident of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes of the United States and Canada, is in Richmond and spoke last night at the Council meeting. Today he conferred with Mr. Murray outlining the intentions of the union, but nothing definite will be done, says Mr. Murray until the return of Mr. Davidson, manager of the theatre. Mr. Davidson has gone to New York on business. The members of the stage employes are only asking that they be re-instated. There is no wage scale to be discussed. Labor Day Demonstration. . Approximately 200 members of the trades council in Richmond will attend the Labor Day demonstration to be held in Anderson on September first. The committee appointed August 6, and composed of E. J. Fitzgibbons, of the printers' union, Elmer S. Lahman, of the painters' union, and Otto Biesman, of the cigar-makers' union, are enthusiastic because of the good showing which will be made by Richmond union men and sympathizers. Anderson is putting forth much effort to make this event one never to be forgotten. The program will conBlst of aeroplane flights, races of every kind, a big labor parade and other interesting features. Representative union men will be present from Kokomo, Muncie, Marion, Dunkirk, Laporte, Richmond and other citie".

thorities declare that the largest crowd turned out in the history of Sherbrook. Thaw augmented his counsel today by retaining Attorney Charles D. White of Sherbrook. Thaw's attorneys claim he had in his possession a railroad ticket for Detroit. Thaw did not have any money today and made a touch from the jailer in order to purchase fresh clothing.

MRS. AUGUST BELMONT.. PARIS, Aug. 19.

SET OF RULES

FOR RACES AT FAIR

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20 Charles H. Anthony, of Muncie, superintendent of the speed department of the State Board of Agriculture, is the originator of an improved set of rules for the government of the races at the State Fair intended to enhance interest in these events to an extent that will render the absence of pool selling unnoticeable. The object of the revised regulations is to expediate the progress of each afternoon's program by avoiding unnecessary delays on the part of drivers and owners and save time and patience of the spectators. Some of the innovations, as announced by Secretary Dowling, are: Each race to be started promptly. Heats of races sandwiched. Entry fees not accepted at judge's stand; must be paid before noon. Withdrawals must be filed day prior. Drivers must appear promptly when called. Horses and drivers to parade before grandstand before race and be introduced. Drivers must provide extra sulkies for emergencies. ' Drivers must "warm up" horses on half-mile track, leaving main track unhampered. Reservations indicate that all of the 275 stalls will be occupied by either race or show horses.

(National News Association) SHERBROOK, Quebec, Aug. 20 Harry K. Thaw, the fugitive slayer of Stanford White, won a preliminary skirmish today in his fight for freedom when his lawyer, W. A. Shirtless, secured a postponement of the argument on an application for a writ of habeas corpus. The argument will be heard tomorrow in superior court. At noon a petition was presented asking for the discharge of Thaw from custody. Thaw plunged into his fight to keep from being returned to the Matteawan asylum with vigor and confidence. The governor of jail, as the jailor is known here, said that the biggest crowd in the history of the jail gathered about the place to see Thaw on his way to court today. "Thaw will be discharged from custody," said Attorney Shirtless. "I am confident that he cannot be held." After the petition for the writ of habeas corpus had been written out, it was taken to the old stone Jail where Thaw swore to the truth of the allegation. The principle reason for the continuation of the argument was the nonarrival of Mr. and Mrs. George Carnegie on schedule time. Mrs. Carnegie, who is Thaw's stster, and her husband, will not arrive until evening and Thaw wanted the hearing put oft until they get here. Two immigration officers arrived

CAR OWNER FOUND. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Tho big touring car abandoned near Rochester, N. H., is the one rented by Richard J. Butler for the flight of Harry K. Thaw from Matteawan asylum in the belief of John Collins, of this city, from whom Butler rented an automo-
