ICELANDIC SHIP ARRIVES IN NEW YORK CARRYING FISH with Warmer ¥ Gallfoss Among First Vessels From Ieeland to Visit This Continent in 900 Years. NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—The Gulifoss, said to be one of the first Icelandic ships to visit the shores of the Western Hemisphere since the days of Leif, the Lucky, tied up in the harbor here to- day with a cargo of herring. Aboard the Gullfoss, a little steamer of* 885 tons, is a crew of Icelandic sailors, officered by Icelandic navigatu:s and speaking virtually the same language that Leif spoke when he !anded at Cape Cod about the year 1000. The ship is in command of Capt. Sigurdur Pjetursson. Next month the Gullfoss’ sister ship. the Gothaloss, will reach New York with a cargo of fish. The vessels are owned by the Icelandic Steamship Co. They sail under the Danish flag. War prices for the products of the island bave brought prosperity, Cupt. Fjetursson said.

George Bauer, an Austrian, was ad- mitted to citizenship in Judge Brown- ing’s division of the East St. Louis City Court yesterday on condition that he does not keep open a saloon on Sunday. Commissioner Willson gnd Judge Browning held that a man oid not be a good citizen and keep open a saloon on Sunday.- There is also a decision of the Illinois Supreme Court to that ef- fect, they said.

ALR MEN; CREW TAKEN Drowning Men of French Boat Rescued by Aeroplanes and a Troop Ship in Adriatic. U-BOAT SINKS TRANSPORT Germany Reports Steamer Was Sent to Bottom in Mediter- ranean in 43 Seconds. BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville, Sept. 23.—The exploit of Austro-Hungarian aeronauts, who, with 29 two seaplunes, rescued the officers and crew of the French submarine Foueault. is described by the Tageblatt. Official an- nouncement was made at Vienna ye::- terday of the sinking of the Faucault by an Austrian seaplane in the southern Adriatic. The Tageblatt says the res- cuing crew was directed by First Lieut. Kenyovic,’ who, on two previous occa- sions, had saved comrades who had faller. into the sea. The sea was rough at the time, and there was also danger that the Austrian aeronauts would be captured ty hostile warships as well as that the azroplanes, overloaded by taking on boara so many men, tiztht collapse. Nevertheleec. the Austrian aviators teid the nuten from the French submarine to swim to the sea- planes and take hold of them. The com- mander and second officer of the sub- m.! were allowed to limb intc the pllots’ seats. The aviators sign&led for help, and half an hour later a torpedo boat ar- rived and took on board the men from the submarine. The German Admiralty announced to- day that a hostile transport was sunk in the Mediterranean Sept. 17 by a Ger- man submarine. lollowing is the statement: “A German submarine, on Sept. li, sank in the Mediterranean a completely filled hostile transport. The. steamer sank in 43 seconds.”’ The Austrian statement telling of the destruction of the submarine follows: “An Austro-Hungarian naval aero- plane in the Southern Adriatic sank by means of bombs the French submarine Foucault. The aeroplane’s pilot was Lieut. Celezeny and the observer was Lieut. von Klimburg. “The entire crew of the submarine, comprising two officers and men, mnany of whom were in a drowning con- dition, were rescued and made prison- by the naval aeroplane mentioned and by another piloted by Lieut. Kom- jevre, with Cadet Severa as observer. “Half an hour later the imprisoned crew was taken over by a troop boat, while the two officers were transported to land on the naval aeroplanes.”’ The Foucault was built in 12 at Cher- bourg. She was 167 feet long.

VOTING ON JOINING NEW YORK STRIKE Central Federated Union With 125,000 Members, First to - Ratify Order for Walkout. CHIEFS APPEAL TO MEN Civilians in Each Precinet to Be Sworn in as Special Policemen. Ten NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—Labor unions with 400,000 York and Westchester County began to vote today on the question of rati- fying the action taken yesterday by of their leaders in calling for a ‘“gen- eral suspension of work’’ next Wednes- day morning to aid the striking car men. Delegates to Union, representing allied trades, voted unanimously last night to ratify the strike order. Repre- sentatives of the United Hebrew trades, whose membership is 200,000, voted sev- eral days ago to strike if the traction trouble should not be settled. Most of the other unions have still to vote on the question. Following is a partial list of the unions involved in the call for a sus- pension of work: Milk Handlers, Bartenders, Waiters, : Beer Brewers. House Wreckers, Musicians, Barbers, Cigar Makers, Ladies’ Garment Cutters, Paper Hangers, Pipe Caulkers Tappers, Journeymen Horse- ers, shoers, Webb Pressmen, Telephone Workers Bookkeepers, Glassworkers, Stenographers Pressmen, Accountants, Painters, Sandal Makers, Plumbers, Teamsters, Neckwear Cutters, Journeymen Furriers, ors, Cloak Makers, Pipe Cutters, Amalgamated Lith- Theatrical Spotlight ographers, Workers. Cap Makers, First Action of Kind. The labor chiefs appealed to all union wage earners to stay at home until the traction companies made it possible for them to ride in the street cars without offense to their union allegiance. It -s asserted that no such action heretofore has been taken by the trades unions of this country, nor has a strike involving so many trades ever been called. Leaders of the movement refrain from calling it a sympathetic strike. Thev declare that many of the unions already have voted to ratify their recommenda- tions and that any union man who does not quit work Wednesday will be de- nounced as a traitor. To what extent they expect the unions to respond to the suspension call was not disclosed. “How can I tell? It is up to the unions,” said Hugh Frayne, general or- ganizer of the American Federation of Labor for New York State. It is point- ed out that Wednesday is the beginning of an important Jewish holiday and many workers ordinarily would stay at home. The members in Greater New Federated 125,000 workers in the Central Stationary Engi- ~° neers, Carpenters, Decorators, Leather Goods Workers, Cigar Packers, United Hatters, Coopers, Dock Carpenters, Printers, and Cooks, tetail Cloak Work- and Tail- call for a cessation of work 18 based on the grievance that men of union affiliations cannot ride to their employment except in cars manned by nonunion conductors or motormen and under the protection of the police. State- ments issued by the leaders indicate that they are incensed by Mayor Mitchel’s warning that he stood ready to use the military power to restrain violences and that they consider the city to be domi- nated by the traction interests. To reinforce the police, Commissioner Woods has instructed the captains to enlist 10 civilians in each precinct to be sworn in as special policemen. This would add about 900 men to the depart- ment. The labor leaders at the conference which called the strike represented the federated bodies in all the boroughs of the city as well as many national and international unions. Statement by Frayne. Frayne announced the determination to call the sympathetic walkout in the following statement: “Tt was decided by unanimous vote of representatives of 80 unions of Greater New York and vicinity that there shall be a general suspension of all work in all trades and industries in Greater New York and vicinity, the same to com- mence Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 8 a. m.” Among officers of international unions at the conference were T. V. O’Connor of Buffalo, president of the Interna- tional Longshoremen’s organization, and William B. Fitzgerald, general or- ganizer of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street Railway men, in charge of the traction strike. Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. and the New York Railroads Co., reiterated his determination not to meet representa- tives of the striking carmen. “If I did so the loyal men in the In- terborough Brotherhood would have good cause to strike,”” he said. ‘“Be- sides, there is no reason for : negotia- tions. There is no strike. We are car- rving more people in the subway, on the elevated. and in the Steinway tubes than ever before. ' Yesterday we car- ried 2,206,257 passengers, or 387,689 more than on the same day last year. The service on surface car lines is 70.5 per jcent normal.” » ‘ “Ae /T@elivered at Gary, Pictures by Which Kansas City | Thief Was Identified as Ora Lewis 7 rested Thursday in Kansas City. of Ora Lewis by the police of Joplin.

Director of Public Safety Swingley said today he will recommend that in the bond issue to be submitted in the spring. provision be made for $400,009 for equipping the Fire Department com- pletely with motor apparatus. He esti- mates that the cost of maintenance would be reduced 33 per cent and that the fire losses would be reduced 10 per cent. Shoeing the department horses, he says, costs the city $13,800 a vear, and new horses cost $10,000 to $12,000 a year. The first motor apparatus purchased by the department six years ago, a combi- nation engine and hose wagon, has saved the city $3500 a year, he says. The city now has five combination en- gines and hose wagons, two tractors for drawing ladder trucks and three ladder trucks. Four more engines and three ladder trucks have been ordered, the en- gines to cost $8000 each and the trucks $3500 each. The present equipment and horses could be sold, Swingley thinks, for $109,- 000 HUGHES IS TO MAKE SIX SPEECHES IN INDIANA TODAY Chief Address Will Be at Gary—Will Be at Indianapolis Tonight— Voice Still Weak.

Of the Chinese population in St. Louis, which numbers approximately 650—less than a dozen of whom were American born—Sit Hom Yuen, 36 Vears old, preal dent of the Oriental Tea & Mercantile Co., 22 South Eighth street, was the only one to register and express a desire to vote at the November election. Only American born Chinese are entitled to suffrage, and these few rarely avai! themselves of it. , Being the only one of his multitudin- ous race to vote in St. Louis is a distinc tion little appreciated by Sit, who waved a Post-Dispatch reporter away with the laconic remark: ‘“‘Me like Plesident Wilson. No time for too much to say. Too busy all time now.”’ This came in response tu a question as to how he would vote. Sit was born at San Francisco. His parents removed to China when he was two vears old. He returned to the T'nited States in 1993 and has been bac and forth twice since then. He came to St. Louis six years ago and organized the tea company. He is a member of the Chinese Amer- ican Born Citizens’ Alliance of San Francisco, which, he said, wrote and advised him to register and vote in Navember. Otherwise he would not have registered. The reporter had some difficulty in as- certaining Sit’s age. In response to the question when he was born, he promptly replied: “When I was little baby.”’ EAST ST.

Ora Lewis said that before the double murder in St. Louis he and his brothers had stolen about 530 automobiles in St. Louls. After the flight from St. Louis, he said, he stole automobiles in Denver and in Wichita and Lawrence, Kan., and disposed of five of the stolen cars in Kansas City. Shot at Detective. Lewis was arrested here Thursday night after he had shot at Detective Harry Arthur. The bullet passed through Arthur’s hat. Arthur and other detectives had been on the trail of two brothers known as George and Frank Rogers. Thursday an attempt was made to arrest Frank, but he escaped. In view of “Charles Rogers’’’ confession that he is Arthur Lewis, it is believed the man who got away is his brother, Frank Lewis, also wanted for the mur- der of McKenna and Dillon. In his confession Ora Lewis impli- cated another man, whose, name has not been made known by the detectives. A third brother, Oscar Lee Lewis, also has been a fugitive since the double murder in St. Louis: Whether he has been with Ora and Frank sinc® then is not known. After the St. Louis killings Ora was described as the “‘toughest member’’ of the Lewis family. His brother, Roy (Joe) Lewis, now in the St. Léuis jail, made a confession ni which he said Three detectives left St. Louls at 2:15 this afternoon for Kansas City to bring Ora Lewis back here for trial for the murder of Policemen Mc- Kenna and Dillon. They were Mul- cahy, Stevenson and Mclaughlin. The Bertillon photograph of the Kansas City prisoner, who had given his name of George Rogers,‘was re- ceived by the St. Louta police about 9:30 a. m. It was shown to Campbell! McPherson and his brother, George Ly. McPherson, proprietors of a con- fectionery store at 3900 Delmar, who said they were certain it was a pic- ture of Ora Otis Lewis, one of the four Lewis brothers who killed Po- liceman John McKenna and Police- nan William Dillon tn S8t. Louis. April 7 last. Mrs. Stella Landon of 334 Morgan street, oldest sister of the Lewis broth- ers, was taken to Police Headquarters by Martin Weiss, attorney for Roy (Joe) Lewis, the only one of the Brothers ip custody here. When the Kansas City picture of “George Rogers’ was shown to Mrs. Landon she fainted and fell back tmto a chair at Detective Chief Allen- der’s desk. Mre. Landon was revived and sent home in Allender’s automobile. On re- gaining consciousness she said nothing about the picture, but was extreemly nervous. Was Calm at First. Attorney Weiss had called at Allen’ der’s office eartier and after looking at the Rogers photograph he said, “Chief, you haven’t got the right mab.” “T’ll bet you 10 suits of clothes to one that we have,’ replied Allender. Weiss then suggested that he bring Mra. Landon to headquarters to see the picture. When Mrs, Landon entered the Chief's office she was calm and composed. | Walking up to Allender’s desk and ig- | KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 23.—Ora Lewis, one of the three = fugitive members of the Lewis brothers’ gang, murderers of Poli¢e- men John McKenna and William Dillon in S.t Louis, April 7 last, A man believed to be his brother Frank es- caped the police here last Thursday, the day Ora was arrested. Arrested under the name ‘‘George Rogers,’’ as an automobile thief, Ora Lewis admitted his identity today after a Bertillon picture of him taken here yesterday had been sent to St. Louis and there identified as that of Ora Lewis. After admitting his identity, Lewis made an oral confession in which he said he was implicated in the killing of the two St. Louis policemen but did not know whether a shot fired by him Ora fired the shot which killed Police- man McKenna and that Ora and Frank burted Policeman Dillon's body in St. Louis County. Implicated in Another Killing. It is believed the Lewis brothers killed Patrolman Koger here in No- vember, 1913, while he was attempt- ing to capture a gang of automobile | bandits who had been robbing freight cars. Dale Jones, a convict in the Jefferson City penitentiary, recently asserted that this crime was com- mitted by the Lewis brothers. Thus far Ora Lewis has not admitted that he had any part in the Koger killing. Irene Bailey and Fay Sanders, two young women who had been seen in the company of the “Rogers brothers,”’ were arrested Thursday night and are still held here. Detective Arthur ts one of the oldest men in point of service in the Kansas City department. There are outstanding rewards total- ing $2250 for the arrest of the Lewis | brothers. The St. Louts Police Depart- ment offered $1000, the city of St. Louis $500 and the State of Missouri $300; The circular announcement said a propor- tionate amount of the reward would be paid for either Frank or Ora.- Last Wednesday Gov. Capper of Kangag of~ fered a $40 reward, or $180 for each fugitive, for the arrest ef the Lewis brothers. Detectives Go to Kansas City to Bring Ora Lewis Here for Trial noring a chair which was placed for her, she said: ag: “Chief, would yet let me see that picture you got from Kansas City?” When the picture was placed in her hands she gazed at it for probably a minute and then sank back into the chair in a swoon. The McPherson brothers were Gagart- ing from Allender’s office as Mrs, ‘ don entered. With her and Attorney Weiss they also were taken home in Al- lender’s .machine. For several monthe before the murder the Lewis brothers. especially Roy and Frank, had been y frequent visitors to the MoPhersons’ confectionery. They bought candy and cigars and spent much of their spare time there. It was Campbell McPherson who gave the police the first description of the Lewis brothera After seeing the Kansas City picture both McPhersons asserted with great positiveness that they could not be mis- taken and that they were certain the original of the picture was Ora ‘Lewis. The Lewis brothers, who have been at large since murdering the two police- men here, are Oscar Lee Lewis, Frank Lewis and Ora Otis Lewis. Roy (Joe) Lewis was captured after the double murder and is in jail here. He made a confession in which he accused his brothers. All have been indicted. The description atcompanying the Kansas City photograph was that the prisoner has two gold teeth, ohe on either side in the upper jaw. A, Joplin, z % > co In the hands of the 8t.
