O “S. J. SMALT., O President.” 0 00000000000000000000000000 New York, Aug. 16.—Ninety per cent of the commercial telegraph operators employed In the United States and Canada are expected to obey the order to strike sent out from Chicago this morning by S. J. Small, president of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America. • The ranks of the strikers In New York are not expected to be swelled by the general strike order for the rea son that the union operators are already out here, but. In cities, towns and small villages In every part of the country, union operators have been sticking to their posts awaiting orders from the national body. Now the word has come for them to quit. It was decided at the Chicago conference that there should be no strike of the railroad operators. The railroad telegraphers, however, will be called upon to contribute a strike fund of 160.000. Call Will Help Causet The general strike order wss Issued by President Small after a long con ference with President Oompers, of the American Federation of Labor, George W. Perkins, president of the Clgarmak- crs' union, and Wesley Bussell, natlanl secretary of the Telegraphers’ Union. Sir. Russell explained that the strikers were Impatiently awaiting It In all parts of the country and that such an order would strengthen the cause of the men. He said that while most of the men were already on strike that many of them had. walked out without official orders even from their local unions and that they would feel uneasy until their move was approved by the national body. Neill Goes to Washington. Labor Commissioner Neill has aban doned all hope of effecting a settle ment of the strike. He took no part In last night’s conference and said he would not do so unless a request for his presence was made. When Mr. Nelli learned that the strike order was to be sent he took a train for Wash ington. While the striking telegraphers are endeavoring In no way to Involve the railroad telegraphers the Western Union Company seemed Indifferent as to what Is done by that organisation. The nearest approach to a crisis was on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdens- burg division of the New York Central, where the railroad telegraphers at sta tions where the Western Union has no regular office flatly refused to han dle any commercial messages, In spite of Instructions to treat all messages as railroad business. Take Down Signs. An Instance of the possibility of serious trouble with the railroad oper ators was the disappearance of the Western Union signs from practically every station between Springfield and Albany on the Boston and Albany di vision of the New York Central. The railroad operators refused to handle commercial messages, but will not strike unless the Issue Is forced upon them. The railroad has Ignored the disap pearance of the signs. All over Long Island telegraph communication Is practically cut off. The railroad oper ators either refuse to accept commer cial messages or fall to deliver them. The only line that Is open at all Is a leased wire running to Oyster Bay. In New York city Is Is declared that the Western Union Is receiving mes sages by express and delivering them after copying them over. The oper ators say that *,060 such messages have come from New Orleans alone. They add that the same system ap plies between New York and Pennsyl vania and New England points. EX-MAYOR WOODWARD WILL ADDRE88 STRIKING OPERATORS The strikers held a meeting Friday morning and In addition to several en thusiastic talks, bulletins were read from other cities where the strike Is In progress, saying all were standing pat and offering encouragement to the At lanta strikers. There will be another meeting Friday Continued on Page Three. HON. HIRAM P. BELL. Ho died Friday morning Just after his book came from the press. Colonel Hiram Parks Bell, one of the best known men In Georgia, the last surviving member of the second Con federate congress, for four years member of the United States congress, formerly state representative, state senator, and presidential elector, died o'clock Friday morning the home of his son, George L. Bell, 20 Spruce street. Inman Park. Than Colonel Bell there was probably no man In Georgia more widely known and certainly none who had record of more distinguished service for Georgia and for the South. He had spent every year of the 81 years of his useful life within the con' fines of the state where he was born. His home was In Jefferson, Jackson county, his father having moved there In 1800. He acquired an academic edu cation and was admitted to the bar in 1849. He opposed secession with all the force of his powerful oratory, but when war was declared he was among the first to enlist In the cause of the South and he served with great dis tinction In the Confederate army as colonel of the Forty-third Georgia regiment. He was dangerously wounded In Chickasaw Bayou, Decern ber 29, 1862. The week that marked tho death of the noted Georgian also witnessed the consummation of two of the most ar dent dreams of his long life. His Book Just Finished, Ink on the book, 'Men and Things,' over which ho had worked for many years, was hardly dry when the death summons came. In this Interesting book Is told the history of the author’s life, and Is given a close character study of all of the great figures of the South before, during and since the war. Colonel Bell knew all, or nearly all. of them pcrronally. He attended school and served In the halls of the Confed erate congress and of the United States congress, with many of these prominent figures In the history of the 8outh, and In this book he gives a clear Idea of the traits and characteristics of each, gleaned from personal contact. The book Is handsomely bound and came from the press of Foote & Davies Co. this week. Favored Disfranchisement The passage of the negro dlsfran chlsement bill was another of the dreams of his life. When the first bill ,f this character was Introduced In the house ten years ago by T. W. Hard wick, now congressman, It received but three votes, one of these being cast by Colonel Bell, who was thon serving In the legislature from Jackson county. He had been a staunch advocate of this measure and took unusual Interest In the bill Just passed. His son, George „ Bell, attended the sessions of the house on Wednesday, and kept his father posted. Colonel Bell, although having but few hours to live, heard with great Interest and manifest pleas ure of the passage of the bill. Surviving him nre two children, one son, George L. Bell, of Bell, Pettigrew A Bell, lawyers, of this city, and former assistant United States district attor ney; and one daughter, Mrs. F. C. Tate, of Jasper, wife of the present United States district attorney and ex-con gressman from the Ninth district, which district Colonel Bell also repre sented In congress. Hla wife also sur vives him. She was a constant at tendant at his bedside. The following from "Who's Who" Is an accurate sketch of the life of the deceased: Colonel Bell's Career.

VOTESSEHATE General Tax Bill Must Go Back to the House. CIGARETTE TAX RAISED TO $100 Bill Amended in Many Ways and Delay is Threatened. By a vote of 22 to 17 the senate went on record Friday as favoring the tax of 810,000 on club lockers, Instead of the 2300 as passed by tile house. Representative Seaborn Wright said, Immediately after the senate action: I am delighted with this action of the senate. It Is Just what I want, and the house will stand squarely up to the 110,000 tax.” Progress on the general tax act was very good Friday morning. The senate changed the paragraph taxing clga. rette dealers 210 to 2100 on motion of Senator Taylor. The big fight In the senate will come Friday afternoon, when the section fixing a one per cent gross Income tax on corporations Is reached. The bill must go back to the house for concurrence. The senate appropriations committee completed Its work Friday morning and one hundred copies of the bill were ordered printed. It will reach the floor of the senate Saturday morning. The first amendment adopted was that striking the word "certified” upon the paragraph relative to taxing pub lic accountants. The amendment to paragraph three placing a tax on photographers and agents taking or soliciting orders was not accepted. The part relative agents was stricken. The amendment raising the tax on traveling venders of patent medicine. Jewelry, etc., from 260 to 2100 adopted. The amendment changing In para graph twelve the word '’Immigrant" to "emigrant" was adopted. There was considerable discussion of parngraph 24, fixing a tax of 26 on each draught arm of a soda fountain. Senator Cowart offered on amend' ment to fix the tax at 86, Irrespective of the number of draught arms. The amendment was adopted, but Senator Peacock moved to reconsider, which carried, and the senate then adopted the paragraph as It stood originally. Paragraph 26, fixing a tax of 260 on mercantile and collecting agencies, was amended, making the tax 2100. The tax applies to every county In which such agencies do business. Paragraph 81, fixing a tax of 260 on baseball parks, was amended by omit' ting parka where amateur games are conducted. Senator Howard desired to amend paragraph 22, changing the tax on bot tling works from 226 to 8100. An other amendment proposed a tax of 826 on each machine used In a bottling plant. During the discussion opposition arose to the tax of 22.60 on each dealer. Senator Hays said he knew many boys In small places that earned enough to pay their tuition by selling bottled so. da on Saturdays. The amendment fixing tho tax at 226 cn each machine was adopted. The paragraph fixing a tax of 82.60 on deal ers was stricken. Cigarette Tax, Senator Taylor moved to reconelder paragraph 21, fixing a tax of 210 on dealers In cigarette papere and ciga rettes, so as to offer an amendment making the tax of 8100. "In your state sanitarium seventy- one per cent of the young men from 18 to 26 years are there from soften ing of the brain, caused by cigarette.” Senator Felder opposed It on - the ground that It would not stop tho sale of clgarettos, but simply restrict It to the bands of a few rich dealers. "The proper way to do It Is a bill to prohibit the eale absolutely," — *~ dared. Dr. Taylor spoke for his bill. The motion to reoonsldsr carried, and the amendment fixing the tax of cig arette dealers at 2100 was then adopted. Club Looker Tax. When paragraph 47, fixing a license tax of 2800 on club lockers was reach ed, the following oommlttee substitution was offered: "Upon every club, corporation, so ciety or association of persons whether Incorporated or unincorporated which allows or permits Its members or oth ers to keep, have or use In any room, place of meeting or resort of the same or any place connected therewith either directly or Indirectly or on the prem ises where the some is located, wines, liquors or other Intoxicants either In private lockers or otherwise, the sum ” ten thousand dollars. Upon the officer, agent, employee, servant or other person representing regularly or temporarily at the places hereinafter referred to or In charge such places, any club, corporation society or association of persons whether Inco-porated or unincorpo rated which allows or permits Its members or others to have, keep, or use In any room, place of meeting or resort, or In any place connected there with directly or Indirectly, or on the premises where s”ch room or other place above referred to Is located, any wines, Intoxicating liquors or other he dS' Continued on Page Three.

The fire raged for four hours, destroying sixteen hotels, 100 cottages and scorea of smaller build ings, covering an area of 60 acres. The summer visitors of this fash ionable New England resort were homeless today and sought shelter wherever they could find It. Tele graph and telephone wires were burn ed and for hours Old Orchard was cut off from the rest of the world. The fire started at 8 p. m. nnd It was early today before It was under control. Then It had practically burned Itself out. Many persons had narrow escapes and Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, of Bos ton, was nearly killed while passing along the main street A soda foun tain In a drug store exploded from the heat and a large piece of metal was hurled within a few feet of his head. The summer visitors lost nearly all their effects and many were Injured. Special trains were run from Port land today and thousands of the home, less wers brought here. The Injured were taken to the Portland hospltale. The -treeta here today were crowd' ed with people, many half clod. The first of twonty relief trains sent by the Boston and Maine railroad ar rived this morning and were greeted thankfully by the 6,000 refugees driven from their summer homes by the fire. Millionaires and fishermen alike stormed the dining cars for food. They were given sandwiches and coffee. Hundreds of empty passenger cars are arriving, today to take the auminer people to their homes. There was only one engine to fight the flames. The Insurance will proba. bly not amount to 2160,000. The large holtel Emerson, the most elaborately fitted hostelry In Old Or chard, caught fire. Like every other building In the place. It was of wood, and burned like oil. Luckily, the guests, of whom there was a large number, had time to remove their property or at least such parts of It as were port able. There wax less confusion at the Olynpia, but the loss was greater, ns the hotel cost 876,000 to build and the fittings and furniture were magnlfl cent. The Emerson was formerly the Velvet and was built by the candy man, Hildreth. From the Hotel Emerson the fire reached across tho main nvenue lead ing from the railroad station to the shore and attacked the Hotel Seashore. Soon after the fire started both tele phone and telegraph messages were sent from the iiostofflce to Portland, Blddeford and Saco asking for aid. En gines were at once dispatched from all the places named, but when, after a long run, they arrived at the scene of the fire. It was found that the hose couplings of the engines would not fit the hydrants In the streets and for a long time the engines stood Idly by, while what was left of the resort burned. Tho fire started by the overturning of a lamp In a cottage occupied by the employees of the Emerson Hotel. It spread quickly to adjoining cottages and to the Hotel Olympia, u four-sto ry frame building standing bark from the beach. There was a sharp breeze binning and It fnnned the (lames and they spread with amazing rapidity. In less than five minutes five buildings were ablase.

"I do not believe tho people of Ala bama will submit to tho assumption of power on tho part of a Judge who holds a life-tlmo position and who feels that ho Is responsible to neither God nor man for his actions. As to what Governor Comer will do I have no Idea, but 1 do not believe he can be bullied or bulldozed Into doing a thing ho does not believe to be right. “Alabama Is a Southern stato and though bound for the moment In fet ters of Jurisprudence, she will reassert herself, and, like ‘truth crushed to tho earth, will rise again,' resplendent in her strength and beauty and throw off j the despotic heel of this second Bus- ' teed.” Busteed, the Judge referred to, was the most Ignorant, brutal nnd tyrannl- , cal of carpet bag Judges at Montgomery In reconstruction days.
