Ilooper, chuirman of the United States railroad labor board, and B. M. Jewell, leader of the shop crafts who ordered the walkout. In a reply to a letter from Mr. Hooper, which was regarded as conciliatory, Mr. Jewell declared thTit the strikers were willing to "consider any negotiations with any one in authority for settlement of the strike." "We are willing to confer with any body authorized by the railroads to bring peace proposals to us," said Mr, Jewell. "I include or exclude nobody, I but if the labor board, for instance.' came to us with a definite proposition! we would not hesitate to consider." 1 The tabuln tioil shftlVPil nntu Hi H nnvi j 1-v. ^^cent of the men had voted to strike on the question of wages, the heaviest vote for a strike being on the question I of outside contract labor which polled 97.1 per cent of the vote cast. The! ballot on rules came second with 96.'for strike. Union leaders said that the vote displayed the relative importance j attached to the three points at issue .^y their membership. Mr. Jewell made public the exaui figures on the strike vote taken by the 400,000 members of the six shop crafts. The vote was divided into three separate ballots, the first once accepting a $50,000,000 reduction in wages ordered by the labor board, the restoration of seven working rulrr. a!-, tered by the board, and third, lhabolishment of outside contracting Ly tko VAO/la In railroad circles it was declared that the way already had been cleared' for a full settlement on the gravest issues?that of contract work?by the agreement of 12 roads to abolish out-' side contracting at the labor board meeting last Friday, when Mr. Jewell ignored an order to appear and explain his strike order. The first explanation of the incident was made by Mr. Jewell tonight when resulted in a mob like suspension of wojrk by the shopmen and possible1 bloodshed." He said that the strike order already having gone out and a; suspension of work Saturday morning! at 10 o'clock having been sanctioned! by locals in all parts of the country,) to have made an 11th hour attempt tnj avert a walkout wouid have resulted l.? ~1 ' umy in urutu^. Mr. Jewell said that the interven j tion cf the board had comp too late' and the only way to prevent disorders was for him virtually to defy the board and thus let the rank and file of the six shop crafts organizations' involved know that their leaders had their hands on the brakes and wore in full control of the situation. He said so far he had received no overtures looking toward a settlement and had made none. He added that thestrike vote was the most representative ever taken, but did not name' total figures. Rumor Without Foundation London, July 6.?A rumor that an' attempt had been made to assassinate1 the Russian delegates to the Hague conference caused considerable excitement in the Dutch capital this morning, says the Exchange Telegraph Dispatch. Both the police and the Russian del-| egation at the Hague denied any attempt at assassination had been made. The report probably grew out of the action of the Dutch authorities in turning back 1 r> Russians at the fronJ tier who were traveling under false passports. Passenger Train Cradliei Into Engine Chicagb, July 6.?Seventy-five persons were injured, but only one seriously, when the Chicago bound Pen' Marquette passenger train crashed' into the New York Central engine on! s a siding near Porter, Ind., last night.

FURMAN HEAD \ DECLINES OFFE I- Greenville, July 5.?Announceme li was made this afternoon by Dr. 1 - J. McGlothlin, president of Furm a university, that he had decided to d i- cline th eoffer of the presidency r William Jewell college, at Libert s Mo., and would remain at the hoi - of Furman University. The off from the Missouri institution was r - eeived by Dr. McGlothlin sevei weeks ago ami has been under cai 6 ful consideration since that time. Formal announcement of his de< < sion to remain at Furman was ma - by Dr. McGlothlin in a letter to Jol 11 A Kussell, president of the Gree f ville chamber of commerce, in whi C I. - 4* " * * nt' says: assurances 01 interest ai * support on the part of the citize: of Greenville have materially aid* 11 me in reaching a decision as to \vh ~ course T ought to pursue. The pre? dency of William Jewell college, wi 1 the high standards and great pote tial resources of the institution, ma a strong appeal but I have decided remain w'.ih Furman." L> In outlining the reasons why has decided to remain at Furman, f * McGlothlin states in th:s letter th some two years ago the general ed rational board of New York offered give to the endowment of the insl tution the sum of $175,000 if its oth e friends would raise $1125,000, th s adding a total of half a million tp t! ? endowment. "Up to the present ve little has been done toward meeth ^ this great offer," says Dr. McGlot L 1 in's letter. j "This delay was caused by the s rious financial depression throuj which our state with others has bei 1 passing. But the period in which o ' part of the half million is to be rais< is rapidly passing. Something lil two years remain in tfhich to coi plete the raising of the funds nece sary to meet the great offer of tl t* general education board. Can th ^ amount be raised? Will the enligh ened, wealthy, forward looking m< of Greenville help me? This is tl g question which has revolved itse over and over in my mind as I ha ^ considered the possibilities of the f - Jhat ?MhwilM the case has kept me in Green^T t I ask nothing for myself. I only a; that Greenville and South Carolii ! will unite to build a great and wort! 3 educational institution in this cr c for the education of the young m< of this and adjoining states and f the service of man and of God. Gree ville is sure to Vie a great industri 4 centre. In the midst of this m e teriai growth will it also suppo _ worthily those institutions which a necessary to keep up the moral ai y. spiritual life of its people?
