Five Years Strikes.

A REPORT ON LABOR troubles in the
State of New York for five years has just
been issued by the State Bureau OF
Statistics of Labor. The bureaus in
vestieations have led it to the conclusion
that the hope that the day for strikes
and labor disturbances is drawing to a
close is purely optimistic. There were
IN the five years covered by the bureau s
statistics 1884 strikes in 1928 establish
ments, employing 1875 employees. Of
the whole number nearly two-thlrds
were successful, while over one third
we're unsuccessful. The predomnating
causes of strikes were questions OF
wages or of hours of labor. FOrty-one
per cent. of the whole number of
strikes we're either for an increase or
against a reduction of wages, and OF
these little over 70 per cent were sue
cessful. Something over IS per cent. OF
the whole number of strikes were for a
change in the hours of labor, and OF
these nearly II per cent. were success.
| full. Among the strikes recorded 59e
were 'threatened' strikes, and Of these
over 81 pei cent. were successful. Or
| the face of these statistics it will be seer
the balance of advantage has inclined il
favor Of the striking employees.

TWO SMALL BOYS.
They Start Row Which Augmented
Wonderfully.

They Start Row Which Augmented
Wonderfully.
The neighborhood of Fourteenth and L
streets was treated to grand melee last
evening.
Two small boys got into a quarrel over a
heavy marble game, which terminated in
the larger one of the two-a lad about ten
years old-punching his adversary in the
vicinity of the proboscis. He would proba-
bly, have punched him again, but another
boy few inches taller than the puncher
interfered and chastised the latter.
Then still bigger boy Clipped in and
told the interferer 10 take man his size y
The interferer was saucy, and the still
bigger boy dealt him a stinger on the jaw
Then a youth about eighteen years OF
age bounced the till-bigger boy, and in a
moment another bounced him.
Evolution never was given better illus
tration
The fighters kept growing in proportions,
while the small fry kept dropping out, un.
til finally Frank Smith, the athletic bank
clerk, stepped in, and punched the last big.
gest youth in the fray. Then two young men
essayed to "do up Mr.. Smith, and no
doubt the war would have thus continued,
and been reinforced until a few hundred
were involved, had not some more peace
fully inclined citizens stopped it, and in
duced the forces TO withdraw. When the
smoke and dust of the battle had cleared
off, the two small boys who had started the
row were found to have resumed their
marble game and forgotten their dispute.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
1t is Likely to Come Here-The Appor-
tiOnment Matter.

tionment Matter.
Referring to the meeting of the Republi-
can State Central Committee to-day. the
San Francisco Post of last evening said:
1T is expected that there will be q sharp
contest when the matter of deciding where
the next Convention will be held is brought
up for discussion. The representatives of
San Jose, Fresno and Sacramento are all
earnestly at work advancing the interests
OF their respective cities. The champions
OF Fresno are having an uphill fight, how
ever, as the heat there is so oppressive in
summer time that many of the committee
men are opposed to going there. The rep
resentatives from the coast counties would
like to have the Convention held in this
city, but the most of the local committee
men are in favor of Sacramento. While
San Jose and Fresno are making good
fight, it now looks as if Sacramento will
carry off the prize.
There will also be a lively discussion
over the question of apportionment. The
committee appears to be about evenly
divided on the question as to whether the
apportionment should be made on the
basis of one delegate at-large from each
county and a delegate for every 200 votes
or for every $50 votes cast at the last cleo
ton for President Harrison. If the appor-
tionment is made on the basis of 200 votes
the Convention will be the largest ever
held in the State.
1T is now thought that the date fixed
for holding the Convention will be between
the 9Th and the 10th of August The local
committeeman are anxious to have it held
between these dates, so that the work of
the Convention will be over and every
thing in readiness to open the campaign in
the first week in September"

ing bv false pretenses," crime which cor
responds with obtaining money by false
pretenses under the California Penal Code.
Bradshaw left his man in charge of the
Sheriff's Office while he went to the Gov
errors Office and procured the warrant OF
arrest authorized by his requisition. Smith
was then formally arrested, Under Sheriff
Coons attesting the service of the warrant.
Bradshaw says that Smith gave q mort
gage to party in Des Moines, Iowa, on
fourteen head of horses, and afterward
gave another mortgage on the same prop
erty and then skipped the country. His
creditors claim that they found but half
the number of horses indicated, and &C.
cordingly lodged complaint against Aaron.
He followed him to this State and met
him in Wheatland, Aaron voluntarily COM

approach him and make himself known to
him; and further, that he need not have
come with him to this city to be arrested
if he did not want to.
Bradshaw and his prisoner were to have
started for the East last night.

FREEMAN,S TRIAL.
Another Futile Attempt to Get jury
Yesterday.

Another Futile Attempt to Get jury
Yesterday.
Another effort was made in Superior
Judge Van Fleets Court yesterday to i'm
panel jury to try Charles Freeman, the
young man who drowned Mark Feeney al
Antelope some time ago. The regular
panel was exhausted on Monday, and
twenty special jurors were on the list for
examination yesterday. Out of this lot
only three unprecedented jurors could be
obtained, making eleven in all. new
venIre of twenty was issued by Judge Van
Fleet, out of which the twelfth Juror may
be secured to-day.
Freeman while in Court bears the same
uncovered and cool demeanor that char
acterized him during his preliminary ex.
animation, and seems to be less interested
IN the proceedings than the spectators who
crowd into the room. His aged mother
occupied seat beside him during most of
yesterday, and wept frequently when tales.
men would declare that they could not give
Freeman fair trial. owing to the fact OF
their having their minds thoroughly made
UP as to his guilt.
II is quite probable that the trial proper
that is, the taking of evidence, will begin
this afternoon

HOW HE WAS ROBBED.
Ernest Harms Put His Watch Up for
the Drinks.

Ernest Harms Put His Watch Up for
the Drinks.
A man giving his name as Ernest Harms,
who bore the appearances of having only
very recently recovered from spree, called
at the Police-station last evening, and told
long story about having been robbed in a
Second street saloon, Monday night. He
assured the officials that he only took one
drink in the saloon; that that drink must
have been drugged, as he lost conscious
ness, and when he awoke he missed his
watch and S11 in money.
Police officers Carroll and Simmons were
detailed to investigate, and the result OF
their investigation put quite a different
color on the affair.
They learned that Harms had had trouble
with his wife on Monday, and started out
on spree. He wound up in the Second
street saloon referred to and spent con-
siderable money there for liquor. He be-
came quite intoxicated and repeatedly
ordered 1.-The drinks for the house. u
Finally his funds gave out, and the next
time he treated the house" he found that
he had no money with which to pay for
them. He thereupon handed his watch
and chain to the barkeeper and told the
latter TO keep them until he came around
and paid for the drinks.
When he became sober he kicked him
self for being a fool, and concocted the
robbery story in order to get his jewelry
back without paying the liquor bill.

SERIOUS ALLEGATION.
A Charge of Grand Larceny Brougt
Against w. III. Straub.

A Charge of Grand Larceny Brought
Against w. III. Straub.
About the LIST of January w. II. Straub
opened an Office here as the agent for an
odorless excavator company. Yesterday
he was arrested on charge of grand lar.
ceny. preferred by I. ] Cox, of San Fran
cisco, who alleges that about the 1st of
March he settled up the business here and
discharged Straub, but allowed the latter
to retain possession of the apparatus, to be
used on his own account on commission
Recently Straub sold the wagon, and Cox
charges that in not forwarding the money
to him at once he acted illegally. On the
other hand, Straub claims that he had not
been discharged; that Cox was indebted to
him for his March salary, and that he
(Sraub) was ready at any moment to
square accounts with him, had demand
been made upon him.
Sraub was examined before Justice De-
vine last evening, Assistant District Attor-
ney Bruner appearing for the prosecution,
and G. G. Davis for the defendant. Con.
siderable evidence was taken on both sides,
and the matter was submitted without ar.
gument. Justice Devine will announce his
decision this morning.
