VOTE TO GO TO WORK
(Continued from First Page.)
able result of the balloting could be ob
tained tonight and the report of those
who made a canvass of the situation con
ftlcted. It was claimed by several of the
striking butcher workmen that their union
had voted to reject' the proposition offered
by the Allied Trades conference board.
These persons asserted that' the butchers
would not agree to an unconditional sur
render as exacted by .the packer and
which it Is said was agreed to by ths Al
lied Trades conference board. To offset
these reports many of the butchers de
dared that their organisation had voted
to return to work on, the ,terne offered by
the employers.
Some Refuse to Vote.
Contrary to., expectations, -a number of
th union Interested in the struggle have
s) far refused to vote at. all on the propo
sition, but Jt Is the general belief that
these organisations will take the final vote.
What the reason , are for refusing to
accede to the instructions of the Allied
Trade conference Is not known. One of
the organisations- which has refused to
consider tha question-' Is ' the live stock
handlers.. According to President Don
nelly th refusal of these union will have
no material effect on the final result, as
It will be the total vote which will da
c'lde the , proposition, i A meeting of sll
the striker has been called for tomorrow
morning at 9:80 o'clock, when Mr. Don
nelly will announce the reeult of the vote.
The beginning of the end of the
stock yards strike came early this
morning, when, according to the pack
ere more thar. 1,000 ot the strikers applied
for their old positions and were taken back.
Men began to seek work a few hours be
fore the time set for a meeting of the alKel
trade conference board which, represent-
lng twenty-two trades Involved In the
strike, was, a seemed to be the general
Impression, to consider the question of sub
mining to .the unions whether the strike
should be called off or not. There was talk
among the strikers ' at the yards about
"terms of settlement." Officials ot the
packing companies; however, declared that
no terms of settlement had been reached
that strikers applying for their old places
would be reinstated without discrimination.
but no agreement would be made with the
union.
Meetings ot all local Unions Involved had
been called for today to hear the result ot
the deliberations of the allied trades board.
Butmany of the men, who have been Idle
for eight weeks. fared to await their ac
tion. So It wen th-.a thousand applied for
work. F , . . a i would be ordered by
their v .i-gb back to work tomorrow,
they went to work to make sure of their

INQUEST ON WRECK VICTIMS
Jury Pat Blame for St. Loots Horror
on Motorman, Conductor aad ..
Watchman.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6. Coroner Funkhouser
today began an Inquiry Into the deaths of
the seven victims of the grade crossing
accident which occurred Saturday. A Jury
of prominent business men viewed the re
mains of the dead and visited the scene of
the accident before hearing the testimony
of witnesses. I '
Assistant Circuit Attorney W. Scott Han
cock stated today that when the grand Jury
reconvenes September 12 one ot the first
matters taken up will be the investigation
of the Sarah street grade crossing wreck. '
Mr. Hancook stated that It haa been diffi
cult to secure conviction In cases of man
slaughter where employes were charged
with neglect of duty, but In this case an'
especial effort will be made to punish those
responsible.
Testimony directly., contradictory .was
heard tpday . at the opening of the Inquest.'
It all depended upon how he -meant it, ac
cording to Frederick Uets, the gatehian at
the Sarah street grade crossing, whether,
when he Waved his flag, It signified "come
on" or "stay back."
Conductor Sheehan In his testimony, said
that he did not always depend upon 'the
gateman and the flagman. He used his
own eyes as well and If he saw a train
approaching he did not start across unless
he thought It was safe. He said that on
Saturday he aaw the train, but was guided
In signalling the motorman to come ahead
by the act that the flagman signalled him
that It Was ail right end also said that It
waa all right
Uets swore he did not say "All right" or
signal for the car to cross and declared
that' he did not even see the .conductor.
The conductor, however, admitted that he
saw the train approaching before he sig
nalled th motorman to come ahead.
A. W, Burbank, the engineer of the shut
tle train, testified that the car came to a
stop on the Wabash track.
After examining many witnesses the Jury
returned the following verdict:
'The evidence shows that the conductor
of the street car erred In signalling to the
motorman to go ahead and that the motor-
man erred in not going forward more
quickly, due either to hesitation or to the
blowing out of the fuss In the switch over
head, and the ordinance wa violated In
not using the safety gates, which should
have been down.
'The , evidence shows that the time be
tween union station and the World's fair
require an Illegal rate of speed,
"The Jury Is of the opinion that the pres
ent grade crossings are defective and reo.
ommends that the tracks should be Iowr
or bridged, and that until then the use of
the safety gates should be enforced,"
DISTRICT COIHT AT UOKESTEEL
Policeman Aalt to Be Tried for Kill-
In "Kid" English.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Bept. . (Special.)
A term of the - state aistnct court ror
Gregory county convened today at Fair
fax with Judge B. Q.. Smith of Yankton
presiding.
The term will be or more than ordinary
Interest for the reason that among the
caaea to be tried Js that against A. J. Ault,
the special police officer who In the early
days of the Rosebud registration excite
ment shot and killed, a man known as
'Kid' English at Bonesteel.
Immediately after the shooting Ault was
placed In the county Jail at Fairfax, but
owing to threat ot lynching which were
made by friends of English he wa re.
moved to the Chart Mix county Jail at
Wheeler for aaf keeping.
A few day ago he waa returned to the
Fairfax .Jail so he would be nearer his
sttornsy and could better prepare for his
defense. He will be defended by two of
the leading attorney of Yankton.
Sentiment I said to have switched In
favor of Ault and many ot thoae who at
the time of the shooting denounced hint
the most bitterly now express hope that
he will be aoquitted.
The fact that "Kid" English la alleged to
have belonged to the disorderly element
ot crooks and tough which afterwards
took temporary possession of Bonesteel
and for some hour mad It on of th
most lawless town In the History of the
west will aid Ault' attorney In making
a strong defense la bis behalf.

ing, when Sheriff Smatley waa Instructed
by the Chase county. Neb., authorities to
arrest Judge W. D. Kelsey, who accompa
nied Martin and Miss Miller t Cheyenne.
Kelsey, who Is the district Judge, was
Charged with the serloue crime of abduc
tion, he having assisted Martin, so Mrs.
Miller alleged, in kidnaping her daughter.
Judge Kelsey treated the matter of his
being arretted on an order from an officer
of hla own court as a Joke. He at once
gave himself up to the sheriff.
The wires between Cheyenne and Hol-
yoke were kept hot al the forenoon, and
by the time Miner arrived the Chase
county authorities had decided that there
were too many complications Involved In
the esse, and they concluded to drop the
matter.
Sheriff Smalley was thereupon wired to
release Judge Kelsey, Miss Miller and Mat
tin. '.
The entire party left Cheyenne tonight
tor their homes, sixteen miles trom Hol
