PACKING PLANTS SHUT DOWN
Hammond' i House and Cudahy's Louiirille
Branch CWed by Strikes.
HAVEMEYER WANTS DEBATE WITH UNIONS
Offers to Defray All Eapensee of
Effort to Answer His Questions
and Will Consider Refasal
as Inability.
CHICAGO, May . (Special Telegram.)
On account of labor troubles In Hammond,
Ind., the plant of the O. H. Hammond
Packing company there was closed today,
throwing 1,800 nen out of employment.
The Immediate cause of the company's
decision was the strike of 600 laborers and
thirty-five firemen, but It expected to move
to Jts new buildings In the Union Stock
yards In July or August In any event and
already had shipped considerable machin
ery to this city.
Trouble with the firemen began a week
ago last Friday when they presented their
demands for an eight-hour day and addi
tional pay. They had been working In
twelve-hour shifts. The company refused
to accede to the demands, but promised to
give them the same hours and wages which
prevail In the Union Stock yards. The fire
men rejected this offer and a strike was
called, The laborers went on strike yester
day out of sympathy and this resulted tn
the decision ty the company to remove at
once to Chicago. ,
Cndahjr Plant Also Shot.
LOUISVILLE, May 9. The Louisville
Packing company, the local branch of the
John Cudahy company of Chicago, Is closed
today as the result of a walkout of 250
laborer employed there. Their action
grows out of the refusal of the Louisville
Packing company to recognize certain de
mands of the meat cutters as to who
should be employed at the plant.

Havemeyer Wants Debate.
NEW YORK, May 9. John C. Havemeyer,
In an open letter published In the news
papers of Yonkors, issues a challenge to
the trades unions in which he offers to en
gage a public hall and defray all expenses
excepting for the speakers, and makes one
condition that the unions agree to confine
their speeches to answering questions to
be furnished by him in advance. He as
serts that a refusal to accept his offer will
be acknowledgment of weakness on the
part of the men. In. his letter Mr. Have
meyer says to the trades unions:
Has it ever occurred to you that the
ability or skill to do any kind of work
comes from good and Is a trust of which we
are bound to make good use? To what ex
tent has any man the right to cease from
work and thus cease to use the gift, and
has he the right by persuasion or force to
keep other men from exercising this gift,
even If he Is unable to use it himself.
If through Idleness men are refusing to
use the talent which God gave them they
certainly are fighting Him and are engaged
In a hopeless contest.
If a man assaults me. steals my pocket-
book or takes other property and is con
victed, he Is sent to prison. How far does
the morality of such acta differ from that
man who deslaned'.v comoels me to lose
money, which is practically what the thief
does? And is It not Just as Immoral to
keep a lot of men from working and thus
causing the loss to other people and pre
vent them from earning money needed for
tne support or tnsir-lamiuesT
I believe the time Is not far distant when
the courts will so decide, for the world can
not afford to have its peace, nomfort and
prosperity interfered with Btr seriously by
the suffering and demoralization practiced.
In conclusion I hereby extend an Invitation
to the trades unions of Yonkers to discuss
this question. The object of this will be to
prevent a waste of time by Irrelevant and
excitable appeals and to secure a clear and
run statement or the grounds upon wntcn
tne action or tne trades union is based,

BOOM IS TERMED SALVE TO BRUISES
Lincoln Orator Declines to Name
Probable Candidate or to Out
line Program tor t'se In
Neat Campaign.
NEWARK, N. J., May 9. The News has
the following from its Lincoln, Neb., cor
respondent: "Is It possible for Grover
Cleveland to receive the democratlo nomi
nation next year?" Mr. Bryan ,was asked.
"There Is not the remotest possibility of
Mr. Cleveland becoming the nominee.
Even his staunchest friends would not risk
him as a candidate." said Mr. Bryan.
"But Mr. Cleveland has apparently come
out of retirement and many suppose he is
seeking the nomination," remarked th re
porter. "I am not In Mr. Cleveland's confidence,"
said Mr. Bryan, "and therefore cannot give
an inside explanation, but as an outsider I
venture to say that his purpose Is to pos
itively refuse to be a candidate after a
while and then allow his friends to say that
he would have been nominated and elected
had he not refused to run. This might af
ford Mr. Cleveland some satisfaction as r
salve for the bruises which h has nursed
since 1SX. (
Democrats Not Without Faults.
"There Is a tail of the democratic party
which was nearly pulled out seven years
ago, that Is Just as monopolistic in its ten
dencies as the republican party is. There
are also a number of newspapers calling
themselves democratlo that are as monopo
listic as any of the republican pspers."
Mr. Bryan later made it plain that he
did not consider the reception given Mr.
Cleveland at St. Louis as being connected,
so far as the people who made the noise
were concerned. In the least with a presi
dential boom for the Sage of Princeton.
"Who is to be savior of the democracy
In 1904, and from what section of the coun
try must he come?" Mr. Bryan was asked.
"I can't discuss any available individual
for the nomination," he said. "The geo
graphical position of the candidate will not
figure in the advantages. It matters not
what state he Is from. He must have the
qualities If we are to win. He must be In
sympathy with the masses of the people
and possess the moral courage to defend
their rights and the integrity to resist
temptation."
"In what Issues will the democratic party
base Its hopes for success next year?"
"A party platform cannot be outlined so
far ahead. Conditions are constantly
changing and something Is liable to rise
to place an entirely new phase on the situ
ation from what It appears today."
Cleveland Not Anxious to Run.
ATHENS. Ga., May 9. Mr. Cfaveland has
written to R. F. Holder, Jr., with respect
to his presidential Intentions, as follows:
I can say no more than to assure you that
at no time since the close of my last ad
ministration have I been desirous of carry
ing the democratic banner for the fourth
time In a presidential contest.

BOY CALLS FATHER MURDERER
Tells Police His Parent Shot Infant
Who Broke His
Wagon.
CHICAGO, Hay 9. A startling confession
was made to Inspector Wheeler today at
the West Chicago police station by Julius
Wiltrax, when the latter declared that his
father, John Wiltrax, had shot and killed
6-year-old Paul Paszkowskl.
For nearly a week the Wiltrax boy has
been In custody with his father and mother.
The circumstantial evidence was so strong
that a charge of murder was preferred
against the elder man.
Julius was this afternoon put In the
"sweat box" and after being questioned at
length broke down. He said:
Monday morning I was awakened be
tween 7 and 8 by the sound or a revolver
shot. 1 Jumped out of bed and ran to the
kitchen, whence the sound came. The
kitchen Is In the rear of my father's sa
loon. There I saw Paul on the flodr. Father
was standing over him. He had a revolver
In his hand and It was still smoking. While
I stood there father opened a door in the
floor and let Paul fall Into the basement.
I don't know when the body was removed.
Mother told me afterward that father had
shot Paul because he had broken the
wagon.
Inspector Wheeler was satisfied with the
boy's statements and did not press him for
more details. It Is the belief of the in
spector that the body lay In the dark base
ment several days before it was burled.
They are Inclined to the belief that the
boy was not dead when thrown Into the
basement, but died later from neglect.
CORPSE TOO LARGE FOR DOOR

NEW YORK, May 9. Her body swollen
to enormous proportions by elephantiasis,
and weighing 400 pounds, Mrs, Annie Wilt
Is dead.
Extraordinary preparations are being
made by the undertaker to get the body
out of the house. It Is too large to pass
through a doorway in the special coffin
being built for It, and it has accordingly
been decided to run planks up to the win
dow and slide th coffin down. Th under
taker found his largest ice box was en
tirely too small for the body, so he built
one of adequate proportions. Several men
were needed to lift the body from the bed.
