AUDITORIUM COMPANY NOT CONCERNED Hornby Denies that He Benresented the Andltorlnm Directors In Mak ing Saajaeatlon to Central Labor tnlon. VIra President Wilson of the Interna tional Association of Machinists, who has bad direction of the strike, with headquar- ters In Omaha, left laat night for the west, Ha will put In some time with the strikers in ih towns and cities along the Union Pacific. S. H. Orace and other executive committeemen will have charge of affairs here for the machinists during Wilson's ab sence Mr Wilson expressed himself last night I wp.ii satisfied with the progress of af- fairs and confident that the strikers would ventuallv win Ihelr fight. From now on a great effort will be made to prevent the Introduction of nonunion men Into the various shops. The strikers are organizing everywhere over the system with a deter mination of accomplishing this end, for In that they believe lies great possibilities of success. It will require some diligent work of this kind, however, the officials inti mate, to Intercept their plans and prevent them from filling the shops W1W me non union men If they see fit. The strikers construe the order Issued Thursday by the company, purporting to be an ultimatum to them to return to work or take the consequences, as the gauntlet thrown down, but they declare that this or- Ber has nor will have no effect upon their men. Last night they were claiming that two more machlntots had left the Omaha shops and Joined the strikers. Not One Man Returns. They assert that various places over the system have been heard from and all re port that not one of the men baa availed himself of this opportunity to return to work. The strikers are confident their ranks will be kept Intact and that none will go back to work until all are taken back under the conditions demanded. On the other hand, the statement was given out from the highest official sources of the railroad company yesterday morning that the company la gaining ground and has more men In Us shops than It haa bad at r v ' AsV4 what the company would do If it became evident the strikers would not r turn to work until their demands were granted, an executive official yesterday de cllned to stats. One of the strikers said yesterday morn ing several of the men had received personal letters from the company making induce ments to them to return to work. In view of events of the ,last few days an early termination of the strike IB looked ror. Officials, however, decline to give out any Information concerning any plans they may have for bringing about a settlement of difficulties. Feeling? Against Nonunion Men. Feeling among the strikers against the company and Its Imported nonunion men becomes more animated each day. The strikers feel that these men should not be allowed to come in and fill their places and some assert their determination to stop them It possible. The company la taking every precaution against trouble of this kind. Investigation shows that the alleged pro posal reoelved by the union men for a set tlement of the strike, which Vice President Wilson disclosed Thursday nlgbt and which was said to have been made by Rob ert E. Murphy, purporting to be a repre aentatlve of the Auditorium company, pledging the office of that company as mediator for a consideration of half a day's pay from each orgaulzed laboring man In the city as a bonus to the auditorium fund, was not made aa an actual propoil- tlon, but ln the form merely of a aug gestlon and came from Rod E. Murphy, bookkeeper of the Floyd J. Campbell com pany, members of the Chicago Board of Trade. The wrong Interpretation was placed upon the letter sent by Mr. Murphy and the wrong name given by some of the strikers, aocordlng to Mr. Murphy. ' Marphy Makes Statement.' Mr. Murphy made this statement to a re porter for The Bee: "I aent the letter to the secretary of Cen- tral Lhbor union. J. A. Bradford, and merely suggested that the union men of the city take out auditorium stock to the ex tent of a half day'a pay for each, and that perhaps, as the majority of business men of tbs city were interested ln the audito rium proposition, it would enlist their sym- thelr cause, and possibly be the means of bringing about a settlement of the strike As to pledging the support .of the Audito rium company to any such proposition, 1 never thought of , such a thing, ln fact, 1 made no proposition, simply a suggestion. I also suggested that this fund be diverted to the strike benefits ln case the proposition fell through after the money was raised. Alfred Millard of the Auditorium com- ' pany says concerning the matter: "The Idea that this company would make any such offer Is too absurd to think of. We have never thought of taking any hand In thla strike and the matter bas never been broached at any of our board meet ings aad would not be tolerated If it were brought up. It is a foolhardy Idea." Mr. Murphy la not a member of the Au ditorium company and denlea all claim of peeking to represent that company. The Central Labor union bad sched uled a meeting tor last Bight to consider this "proposition," but the matter was dropped when It waa learned through The Bee yestecdsy afternoon that the "propo sition" did not come from the Auditorium company nor any member of it Denver Paylasr I'alveralty Debt.

GOVERNMENT SUES FOR PEACE Colombia In talt Amlog to Settle with Revolotlon lata. PANAMA. Colombia. July 11. General Salazar In an Interview to'" wllh the rep- resentatlve of the Ant. ress said: .'TV,. . . I. H '"', ., riui ri form to Daclfr the reDUbllc lb. ' i.

Those ln the other departments will, on account of the lack of rapid telegraphic communication, have the time of their sur render extended to August 7. Hundreds of revolutionists have surrendered already and more are coming ln every day." "1 can safely say," continued General Salaiar, "that the revolutionary army only exists on the Isthmus because of the help given It by President Zelaya of Nicaragua, who has violated all the rules of Interna tional law." Generals Sergio Camargo, Carlos Arturo Torres, Manuel Jose Angarlta and other prominent liberal or revolutionary leaders have Issued manifesto addressed to their followers urging them to lay down their arms in order that the nation may reach a decision on the canal bill. This manifesto sets forth that the commercial Interests of the world demand the prompt construction of the Panama canal. Thla declaration shows that both political parties ln Colom bia are ln favor of the project. The terms of the decree of the government granting pardon to revolutionists referred to by General Salaiar are more generous than any of those which have been previously offered. The organizers of foreign expedi tions against Colombia, however, are ex cluded from the terms of the decree.

RUMORED TRACY RILLS SEVEN Eaport on Street of Seattle of Battle with Escaped Oonriot, SHOTS ARE FIRED AT CLOSE RANGE When Depnty Sheriffs Art Bare Once More They Have Their Mam He Again Blips Away from Then. SEATTLE, Wash., July 11. Bloodhounds and scores of deputy sheriffs were unable J stir outlawv Harry Tracy from concealment ln the brush near Covington today. Because of the midnight battle last night the posse were sure of the convict's where abouts. A cordon of experienced marksmen encircled that place earlier ln the evening and there was no possible avenue of escape for the fugitive without a fight. Hounds were started on the trail early this morn ing and worked ln every direction today, but' without success. Darkness fell with less encouragement for the hunters than on Wednesday evening. Every kind of rumor was received from the scene of the sheriff's deputies' search today. At one time a report was started that a battle had been fought, resulting ln the death of seven deputies and the wound ing of the convict. Diligent search for the source of this report met with failure. It Is believed to be absolutely groundless, yet It can not be branded so until every part of the pursuing crowd haa been heard from. The nature of the country through which the chase leads would make It possible for a battle to be fought ln one of the ravines and little be heard of it in the neighboring towns for many hours. Flaht at Close Ranare. At 11:45 last night Tracy arrived at the sawmill plant of the Covington Lumber com pany, a mile from this place. Deputy Sheriffs J. A. Bunce, Fred C. Bunce, Galvln and Crowe had been aent to guard this point. Deputies Crowe and the Bunces, father and son, had posted themselves on the railroad near the sawmill at the en trance of a big cut near a rise of ground, the Bunces being on the outer guard line. They were hardly settled when they heard footsteps approaching from the Auburn side, but remained on the quiet until the unknown bad almost come abreast of them, when the challenge to halt waa given. "Hello," responded the stranger. "What's your name!" demanded 3. A. Bunce. "My name is Anderson." As he gave this reply Tracy, for It was he. started to run. The deputies again called upon him to bait, but he kept going and they opened fire, shooting four times each. Tracy ran up the trick and a few yards further encountered Deputy Sheriff Crowe. "Who goes there?" challenged the officer. "A deputy," coolly responded the outlaw. Taken for a Deputy, Crowe, thinking it waa the elder Bunce, started to approach, when Tracy commenced shooting at close range, firing two shots. The bullet whistled harmlessly by and Crowe suffered slightly from the burning powder as It aped from the muzxle of the rifle. .... , ,y..-:, .. r- After the shooting Tracy turned and en tered the brush along the side of the track, where be was lost in the blackness of the night. The deputies made a burrled circle through the woods to Covington to bead Tracy off, but on arrival found that be had not passed the station A dispatch dated 8 a. m. adds that since his escape from the north side of Sluice creek Tracy attempted to board one of the castbound freights. The grade Is heavy at thU point, but the train waa running light and at such speed that Tracy was unable to board it. Another train passed and the conductor reports that while running near the sawmill someone called for him to stop. There were no deputies present and It is thought Tracy Is the man who called and the opinion Is advanced that he may have been wounded In the battle just before mid night. A man thought to be Merrill appeared yeaterday at the home of a farmer a few miles east of Ravendale, near here, and wanted food. He remained in the vicinity al! day. TACOMA, Wash., July 11. At o'clock this morning Sheriff Cudlhee and numerous posses arrived at Covington, about twelve miles from Tacoma, where Tracy eluded the posse at midnight. Every train going toward the Northern Pacific tunnel through the Cascades la stopped and searched. The location of the country is such that Tracy may be aald to be naturally cornered in the point of a trl angle and therefore developments are mo mentarily expected. All Indications are that Tracy is following the Palmer cut-off up the mountains, keep ing In the timber as much as possible. He bas about five miles start of the posse. A special to the Times from Covington, Wash., says: A man answering the de scription of David Merrill, Tracy's partner, appeared at Ravendale yesterday after noon. He forced a family two miles east of that place to give him diner and later re. turned to the bouse and procured a supply of provisions. Sheriff Cudlhee and Guard Carson, with bloodhounds and a small posse, left Auburn at ( o'clock this morning for the point where Tracy waa laat seen. GUARDING THE COUNTY JAIL Feared that Second Attempt May Be Made to Dynamite Bastlle at St. Joseph. ST. JOSEPH. Mo., July 11. Sheriff Spen cer summoned a large force of guards to night and armed them heavily ln expecta tion that a second attempt would be made to blow up the county jail and liberate fnany desperate criminals awaiting transfer to the penitentiary. Enough dynamite was stolen from a rock quarry today to blow up half the town, a considerable part of which waa discovered to have been smug gled Into the jail. Sheriff Spencer sent his family away. No stranger la permitted to approach within fifty feet of the build ing. WIDOW WANTS ThF MONEY Denver Woman Flies Snlt to Recover f-tOO.OOU Bequeathed by Her Hasband to Chnrch. DENVER. July 11.

Van Wyck, fa miliarly known as "Happy," daughter of late Senator Charles H. Van Wyck of Ne braska, who was to have married Frank Mitchell of this city on July 3, recanted of her promise and the wedding did not take place according to program, and thereby bangs a story which-is just becoming pub lic. A license to marry was Issued July from the office of the district aupreme court t0 Mr. MUche,( ed 2e. and Miss Theodora H. Van Wyck, aged to, and on the following day the couple presented themselves at the residence of Rev.

It is said, however, that the young woman changed ber mind ln the middle of the ceremony and that she re garded the whole matter la the light ol a joke. Shortly after the Interrupted ceremony Miss Van Wyck left for MUford. Pa.,-the family home of the Van Wycks, where she haa friends, leaving no explanation of ber strange proceeding to console her friends. Miss Vsn Wyck, since her pother's death, has spent a great deal ' o! her time In Washington, appearing at wocial functions under the chaperonage of a leading sena tor's wife, having apartments at the Nor- mandle. The young woman' was known as Happy" Van Wyck, and In tact so regis ters herself. Rev. Radcllffe, while refusing to discuss the strange ending of what promised to be a most happy culmination of a genuine love match, stated that the couple, accom panied by one person, whose name waa un known to him, appeared at his home and presented a proper marriage license. That was all he would say, excepting that the young couple left his residence unmarried. He preferred that the facts should come from the parties themselves. Friends of the principals of the affair say the would-be groom took the affair se riously and was much surprised at the young woman's change of mind at the crit ical moment It is understood that while ahe haa social admirers, she had shown a decided preference for Mr. Mitchell, and at the theater and ln nearly all her rides and drives about the city be was ber es cort Mies Van Wyck Is well known In Omaha, where she has frequently visited, and at Nebraska City, where the family made Its home for many years. Her last visit to Omaha was ln the spring of 1900, when she waa accompanied by her mother, who died last November.

The prosecuting au thorltles point out that It would have been imnosslhla for Caotaln Fltchette to have sold appointments to the police force un esa he were ln collusion with otner oin clals. The appointment of Long was maae last August under the administration of Mayor Ames. He had been dropped from the department rolle when Ames resumed office six months before.

GOVERNOR ORDERS AN INVESTIGATION Chief of State Barren of Mine Goer to Scene of the Disaster la Or der to Learn Cans of th Explosion, JOHNSTOWN. Pa.. July 11 At 1 o'clock this mornlug it can be stated of the 600 men supposed to bave entered the mouth of the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel company Thursday morning, ninety are known to be dead and twenty-two rescued. Four hundred, so the mine offi cials claim, escaped when the explosion occurred, leaving eighty-eight still to be accounted for. Some of these, according to those In charge of the rescue work, are dead, but the majority, they claim, have escaped. From physicians, heads of rescue parties and others who are familiar with tho different headings In the mine. It Is learned that at least fifty-two additional bodies will be brought to the tsmporary morgue at daylight, making the total dead 142. This, so President Stackhouse says, will be the extent of the disaster, but until all checks of the miners are taken an ac curate list will be Impossible. Some of the bodies, It Is "admitted, will be entombed In the closed headings or burled under alate. Somo may never be found. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., July ll.-Thls has been a day of herolo rescues at the fated Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel company. Thrilling experiences attended the efforts of the forty brave and daring fellows who went down Into the bowels of the earth, stirred by a very faint hope that still they might be in time to restore to life some of those who are entombed. Death lurked everywhere around them, but undaunted they pressed forward, swayed with the noblest of human pur poses. The reward of their efforts waa the saving of the lives of fourteen of their fellow-men and bringing them again Into the sunlight and back to living fam ilies. Dead and maimed bodies were lo cated, but no effort waa made to bring them out of the vast theater of death until every human energy was put for ward to seeing that no living soul might escape ' their aid. That done, the dead were put In train cars, brought up and exposed to morbid gaze, while being trans ferred to wagona io, which to be taken jo the Jnorgve... ., .... ,r. ,. , ; v Eighty-seven dead bodies were recovered from the mine between daylight and night fall. Still a party of officials and minora battled on, three miles Inside the mine. Occasionally word would come to the sur face 'by some mysterious means that an other heap of remains bad been expoaed to the vision of the searchers. There re main dangerous headings in the Klondike section of the mine yet to be explored. No one knows how many more dead will be found there. The mine officials refrain from guesswork on the subject. Identified List of Dead. The official list of the bodies identified up to 10 o'clock tonight Is as follows: JOHN R. THOMAS, la EMERY BA8818TA. STEVEN KANOCZ. STEVEN C1MKO. MICHAEL SABOT.

The Impression prevails among the out siders and certain employes of tbe mine that 150 Is a low estimate of the easualty Hat. Fated Johnstown spent th day hor ror-stricken. Great throngs surged about the pit mouth, the Improvised morgue at the armory and about the stricken bomes of the dead. Exaggerated rumors of all kinds prevailed. One report gained circu lation that disaster had overtaken tbe res cuing party which entered the mine shortly after 9 o'clock. This waa not disproved until word finally came from the men ln the mine. It is difficult to picture with any degree approaching Its full worth the work of rea cue. How brave men went )nto the Jaws of death in its most horrible form, encount ered their fellows transformed into raving maniacs by hours of waiting in tbe pitch darkness of the earth' interior, lifted them moaning from their beds of fallen rock aad then, bending and crawling on all fours, car rying them a quarter of a rolle underground to where cars could be reached to take them outside. Along In the early part of the afternoon cheering word came from the Innermost re cesses of the mine that life yet lingered ln some of the bodies found. The rescuers made fl:st for No. 4, tbe left beading, which they had been unable to reach the night be fore. Desolate, even for the scene of a mine Interior, was the heading that stretched out before them. Falls of root almost choked the heading, but through aad over the debris the brave men pushed their way. Maniac's Usgb Greet Them. In tbe front, young Patrick Martin, bis brother Peter, Philip White and aeveral cousins of the Martins made their way. Suddenly ln an open space they were start led by the maniac laugh which emanated from a blackened form that rushed at them out of the darkness. Tbe man graaped firmly a pick handle and tried In his frenzy to beat down his rescuers. He was overpowered and dragged back to the main beading to the cars. Thirteen other living men were found la thla chamber and ibyslclana wsra quickly 1
