A. Il. o. strik-rs.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 5.-During to.
days proceedings in the trial Of Mayne
and Cassidy, the A. r. U. strikers from
Palo Alto, the most i'm portant witness
Was Frank G. Reed, an A. r. U. man
from Redding, who was one Of the
strikers who rode from Redding to
Sacramento on the epecial train which
bore Mrs. Stanford, during the heat of
the strike. He told how, upon his ar
rival at Sacramento. he was given gun
and directed by the A. r. u. leaders to
60 to the Yolo bridge. On his way he
was detained by guard until he gave
the A. r. u. password. Then hecroesed
the bridge to the strikers camp, where
he found score OF A. R. u. men. They
were armed. He asked them what they
were going to do.
1--WE are going to stop the first train
that comea along" Was the answer.
Reed asked how they were going to do
1t. One man replied that they were 60
ing to pop the engineer, whereupon
Reed replied that he wa0 not in it, and
was cursed for his refusal to stay. Reed
then started back toward Sacramento,
and after going little way threw his
gun over fence into . pasture.
Reed, who is again in the employ OF
the Southern Pacific, gave similar testi.
mony against Worden in the trial at

SAN FRANCIsco, Dec. 5.-Osptain ]. J..
Haley, who has been the Southern
Pacific lobbyist before the board OF super
visors for the past 25 years, has been
retired. Although now 81 years old he
has been vigorous and successful as .
supsrvisorial manipulator. He has
been known for years as the 18th mem
ber OF the board OF supervisors. Haley's
explanation Of his retirement is rs fol-
lows:
II went out to the new city hail." he
said, "and had talk with several mem
bers of the board of su pervisors in re-
gard to granting permission for the
erection or trolley poles and wires on
Kearney street. A majority expressed
themselves in favor of q such resolu ton
or ordinance and one or two we're 80 hot
for it that they said they thought they
could convert others to their view we. Well,
supposed it was all right and expected
the resolution to 60 through without
any material opposition. You can
Judge OF my surprise and indignation
when l wac informed that the resolu.
tion which had prepared and that had
been actually placed on the file had
been withdrawn. The moment heard
OF that put on my hat went straight to
the corner OF Fourth and Townsend
streets and offered my rengnatiou. I
told them never wanted to 60 near the
supervisors again."

One Pacific Coast Union Disrupted.
Rate Cutting viii Follow.
SAN Francisco. Dsc. 5.-The Pacific
Insurance union, through which the
insurance business of the Pacific coast
has long been controlled, is agsin in
danger Of disruption. Arthur E. Ma
gill. general agent of the Phoenix and
the Home companies, with draw from
the association beoauae OF what be called
its lax and lenient methods in treating
members who have openly violated
the ruIes of the union and defed its
power to regulate their business In any
way. Two secret meetings, both OF
which were largely attended, were hold
today. 1t ia understood committees
were appointed to wait upon Magill and
endeAvor to bring the two influential
companies which he represents back
into the fold. Magill is said to be de.
termined to remain out unless some
action shall be taken to discipline the
violators of the unions bylaws.
Magill's resignation means a very bit.
ter fight. consequent upon his deter.
mination to cut rates. The ''non.inter-
course" rule was put into effect against
him as once. Thie rule is in the nature
OF a boycott. and prevents all other in
surance oom panies on the Pacific coast
from accepting business through Ma.
gill's companies or sharing business in
the line OF reinsurance with either of
his companies. This does not cut the
Home and the Phoenix off entirely. as
they can still do business direct with
the insured, but in the case OF long
lines, which are always broken up by
reinsurance, the company will have
hard luck placing their risks. Being
untram meled, Mr.. Megill may now cut
rates, aud there may be lively scram.
BILE for business.
In the matter OF rate cutting, union
members can take hand, "a one of the
rules adopted only 3 few months ago
permits union member to cut rates in
order to secure risk written by non-
union mem Der. In such case the risk
secured is divided up among the union
mem bers. thereby decreasing the indi-
vidual risk.

By the Associated Press
WOODLAND, Dec. Sat no time dur
ing the trial OF Hatch has the atten-
dance been 30 large as last night and
today. Many people we're unable to
gain admission to the court room. Mr..
Heads opening address for the prosecu-
tion occupied an hour and hall in
delivery. He began by reminding the
jury that they had sworn duty to per-
orm aad they should discharge their
obligation to tho people uninhuenced
by sentiment or prejudice. but with an
earnest desire to be governed wholly
by the law and the facts In the case.
He made . very close analysis OF the
testimony for the prosecution, present.
ing 1t in logical and forcible manner.
He also pointed out many Inconsistencies
and apparent contradictions in the
testimony for the defense.
Mr.. Gaddis, in bis opening argument
for the defense, made an earnest plea
for the purpose OF impressing the jury
with full sense OF the responsibility
resting upon them. He made an ex-
haustive review of the testimony. The
evidence OF every witness for the prose-
Cution was dissected and the apparent
weak points held up before the jury.
Then the testimony tending to establish
an slibi was carefully marshaled and
every corroborating circumstance dwelt
upon at some length.
At / 80 General Hart began the clos.
ing argument for the defense. He was
In splendid voice and spoke with i'm
passioned earnestness that frequently
rose TO the height OF eloquence. His
denunciation OF the railroad company
was very bitter. He was especially
severe on the detectives and railroad
attorneys, branding them as slaves
and tools OF . soulless corporation that
10 using it's mighty power and influence
to hound Melvin Hatch to the gallows.
He charged that the prosecution was
not by Inc people but by the Southern
Pacific company, with not only hired
lawyers but suborned perjury to swear
away the life OF an innocent man. He
charged that the object is to make
vic i'm Of Hatch in order to terrorize the
railfoad employees and Lessen the
danger OF another strike.
AT O'Clock General Hart had not
concluded his argument and the court
ordered a recess until O'Clock, when he
resumed.
Mr. Cook OF the prosecution will not
pegln bis argument until tomorrow.
Ihe case Will not probably be given to
tne Jury until late in the afternoon.

A good story has been made public con-
corning popular Augusta druggist. Not
many months ago he went fishing up in the
country, and was travelling on road in
back settlement, when he began to feel
anxious for the appearance of cross road.
He drove into farmers yard and asked
him how far it was to the turning off place.
The man in response indicated. by signs,
that he was deaf. The eager fisherman
drove out Of the yard and when up the
road about mile, met man in a team.
How far is it to the cross road?" he asked
of the stranger. Again the sign OF deaf
ness was his only response. The fisher
man was about to despair of finding the
road, this being his first trip in that section.
He saw little house in the distance
and touched up his horse. Into
the yard he drove and put the
same question of the proprietor. Getting
no answer from the man addressed and be-
coming discouraged said, "For Heavens
sake are you dummy, too?" The man
caught p.rt of what he said, not being
wholly destitute of the hearing faculty.
Upon inquiry the Augusta man was told
that two deaf and dumb persons lived in
that neighborhood and another man was
very hard of hearing. He had the fortune
fall in with the waole group.
