* i P *
The Great Industrial n England
Which Has Been Fea , . .as . at Last
Come to a Climax and All Railway
Line Employes Will Be Called Out.
London , Aug. 17. An Indus ,
trial war has been declared
and the employes on all the
railway lines of the United
Kingdom will be called out at
once.
London , Aug. 17. The time limit of
itwenty-four hours within which the
.railway workers demanded that their
c'lnployers agree to consider their
grievances , expired at 8 o'clock this
morning , but the threatened strike on
the railroads of tno United Kingdom
failed to materallze. Instead , repre
sentatives of four railway societies in
volved went into conference with the
board of trade. Traffic proceeded as
usual. No formal orders wore given
the union men by their leaders , but
apparently It was generally under
stood a truce would bo observed while
negotiations with the board of trade
continued.
Officials of the railwayman's socle-
sties arrived in London , from Liverpool
today and immediately met the the
offices of the Amalgamated Society of
Hallway servants , where they threw
down the gauntlet to their employers
by adopting the following resolution :
"This Joint committee hereby ex
press our determination not to suttlo
our present dispute unless the lock'
out imposed on our fellow workers be
cause of their support o the railway
anon in Liverpool and elsewhere is re
moved. "
Later the union leaders , numbering
forty , met with the board of trade ot
.Uclals.
Passenger and freight trains from
all other stations were running on
their regular schedules this afternoon.
'There was much uneasiness among the
men , a large proportion of whom were
reluctant to strike but feared they
might be forced to.
Soldiers Guard Depot.
At Liverpool , traffic was also -nain
-.tallied , but the stations in that city
were guarded by soldiers with flxed
bayonets.
The armored cruiser Antrim has
boon sent to the Mersey to protect the
-shipping there. The trains to and
from Manchester were generally sus
pended. The trans-Atlantic shipping
companies plan to coal their ships at
American ports for the round trip , but
as in the case of the Lusltania , which
scheduled to sail Saturday but has
been unable to obtain crew or coal ,
are likely to have trouble keeping
their crews when the vessels teach
England.
Tom Mann , the strike leader , sum
marized the men's demands as fol
lows :
"A general increase of wages of CO
cents a week , a work we > ek of fifty-
four hours and the recognition of the
unions. "
The railway managers strongly ob
ject to granting this recognition where
it Involves dealing on their part with
representatives of men other than
their own employes

ing plane and was rescued at the point

AN OLD MURDERER
DEAD AT STANTON

FARMER , EXPIRES.
SERVED TIME IN PENITENTIARY
Aged 85 , for the Past Few Years an
Inmate of the Stanton Poor Farm ,
Schultz Dies a Bachelor Murdered
Employer for Love of Wife.
Stanton , Neb. , Aug. 17. Special to
The News : Died at the Stanton coun
ty poor farm yesterday Ferdinand
Schultz , a bachelor , aged 85.
Sch-iHz carao to this p'irt of I-o-
braska at a very early day. Early in
the 70's he was working in the capa
city of a hired hand on a farm situat
ed in what is now Wayne county.
His employer returning homo after
a somewhat prolonged absence was
shot and killed. Scbultz and the cm
ployer's wife claimed that the killing
was the result of accidental discharge
of a shotgun caused by its falling from
the wall where it hung. The neigh
bors suspected that the woman and
Schultz Were in love and charged a
murder. The Indictment of the cou
ple followed the Investigations of the
grand jury. The trial took place at
West Point and was one of the most
sensational and widely known of fron
tier days ,
Schultz was ably defended and the
case was fiercely contested by the de
fense. Hon. .1. B. Barnes , now of the
supreme court , as district attorney
presented the case for the state and
so well did he perform his work that
though the evidence was entirely cir
cumstantial , he succeeded in convict
ing Schultz on charge of murder in
the second degree. Schultz served his
sentence and then returned to north
east Nebraska. The past five years
he spent in the county poor house.
The immediate cause of his death was
paralysis.
