JERRY WAS THERE.
A Big Mass Meeting is Held in
Brooklyn
By the Striking Trolley Men and
Sympathisers.
s p e e C HE'S nj A E
By Congressman Jerry Simpson
and Henry George.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Jan. 2S.-Were it
not for the scarcity of cars yesterday
one would not have thought that one
of the biggest strikes in the history
of Brooklyn was in progress. Church.
goers had to walk to their devotions
in many instances, or take chances in
the enormous crowds which took pos
session of the cars. Otherwise there
was perfect calm. Large crowds as
sembled around the depots where
military guards are stationed, but
there was no violence there and the
bantering the troops received was of a
good natured kind.
Those in a position to draw conclu-
sion from facts and without prejudice
say that the strike is about ended.
The companies seem to be in a
position to run their cars. They are
not skillfully operated and through
out the day there were many col
lisions and there was much humping
together, but there was no accident
of serious nature.
Starvation already confronts many
of the families of the strikers. The
men were not well equipped finan-
cially when they decided to stop work
and the bulk of their funds has been
used for the transportation of non
union men to cities whence they came
to replace the strikers. This alone
has cost the strikers many thousands
of dollars. Storekeepers have been
very considerate, but now that they
see the strikers are being replaced by
men from other cities, they are loath
to give credit and the wives and chill
dren of the men out of work are go
ing hungry. Landlords, too do not
enter into the merits of the situation
between the strikers and the com
panies, and promises to pay when the
strike is ended has not cut much figure
with them. The demands for food
and for rent have crippled the re-
sources of the strikers and many of
them are in sore straits.
A mass meeting of the strikers
friends and sympathizers was held
yesterday afternoon at the Athena
cum at Eighth and Clinton streets.
The house was packed to the doors.
Clarence $ Roberts, president of
Stereotypers' union No. l, presided.
Henry George was the chief speaker.
He-said if the municipality owned the
roads and taxed land values the rail
roads would be free to the people,
Congres sman Jerry Simpson, who
also spoke, urged the audience IN the
future to vote the Populist ticket

Populist platform was the owners hip

phone lines by the government.

in the kitchen of the American hotel
at 7:30 o'clock last evening destroyed

NEW ORLEANS, Ja., Jan 2s.-The
italian Malta has again begun opera
tons in this city. The murder of the
Italian, Tony Chisesi of Chicago in
the italian quarter of the city We'd
nesday morning. was followed yester-
dav by letter from the Mafia to- one
of the wealtbiest Italians in the
city, demanding 81, 900 on pain. of as
sassinasion. Chisesi was murdered
to wipe out a debt which he had
against two members of the associa-
ton, one of them who had just served
a term in the peniten tiary. The muir
derers fed to Thibodeaux, about
seventy miles from the city, and have
so far eluded capture.

letter demanded that he go to Don

very much frightened, but finally de-
cided to place the matter in the hands
of the police and appeal for protec-
tion. The police and better class of
Italians think that it is genuine
letter and that the malta, which has
been silent since the lynching, has
again sprung into exiSte nee.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Jan. 2e.-The

the country, and especially from
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West

tied Peacefully.
CRY OF MEXICO, Jan. 8.-The city
is quiet although in the Hobbies of the
hotels and wherever groups are gath
cred the topic discussed is the Guate-
malan question. Yet the excitement
has, to a large extent, abated. The
president and officers of the cabinet
have been considering Guatemala's
last document for severel days 1t is
believed that 1t is not nearly satisfac-
tory to Mexico, although had it been
very radical the people would I'M
doabtedly have learned of it by now.
Preparations for war are now being
made by both countries. no doubt, but
there seems to be feeling of under
current of opinion that the trouble
may be automatically settled. and,
while President Diaz is firm in declar-
ing that Mexico must and will have
her rights in the matter. he said last
night: There has been no declara-
ton of war with Guatemala and L
hope for a peaceful solution of the
question"
If Mexico is pushed into the fight
over the international boundary her
policy will be as outlined from the
first by General Diaz and his cabinet,
to the effect that this dispute and
other little matters will be settled
once and forever. and the necessary
means used to that end. 1t is prophe-
sled in some quarters that Mexico will
settle the boundary line by quietly
appropriating the whole Guatemalan
republic as a part Of the United States
of Mexico, with the City of Mexico as
its capital, and with the chief execu-
tive of the republic as its ruler
The o. c. Ord post of the G. A R.
have passed resolutions of fealty to
the Mexican government in case of
war with Guatemala. A number of
union veterans including an Ameri-
can general, have signitied their will
ingness to go to the front for Mexico
if the service win be accepted. The
memorial will be presented to General
Diaz on Tuesday. Troops are being
concentrated at all Pacific and gulf
ports and the government has char
tered two merchantmen in Aca pulco
in the event of war, the invasion will
be made from several ports, priuci-
pally from the Pacific side.

PASADENA GRASPS THE IDEA

The gathering of thousands of WE'LL to-
do citizens from all parts of the union at
the Atlanta exposition, soon to be OPEN
ed, will afford an opportunity for South
ern California to proclaim to the world
its manifold advantages in manner
more forceful and telling than has been
afforded in many years. The meeting
promises not only to be very large
one, but to be constituted of that
class Of citizens from which this territory
is and has been for many years drawing
to great extent for incoming capital
and enterprise. The Herald has taken oc-
casIon heretofore to call attention to this
matter and to emphasize its belief in the
unparalleled opportunity now afforded.
1t is gratifying to note that cities and
towns throughout Southern California are
awakening to the importance of the &C.
casion and are taking steps to improve
1t to the uttermost. The project now
under way atiPasadena is one of many of
similar character and having like pur-
pose that has recently taken root. A meet.
ing is called for today in that enterpris-
ing city which has for its purpose the
raising of sum of money to be used to
present the just claims OF that locality to
inves ;ment and residence. The earth
does not afford a more profitable place of
abode for man than Southern California,
and certainly, no part of California can
claim superiority to that which centers n
and aoout Pasadena. The plan. therefore,
now we'll developed, to make the claims
of that LOCALITY prominent at Atlanta is
both good businesses policy for the locali-
ty and generous loyalty to the state. 1t
can have but one result, and that is great
benefit to the city which is now about
to improve the opportunity.
The Herald has no desire to recall I'M
pleasant occurrences nor to recount condi-
tions, but, to the thinking mind, many
suggestions will come which will Indicate
the preference for California which would
naturally occupy the minds of southern
ers. alike from political and climatic con-
ditions. California is in position to
reap a harvest from southe rn enterprise
when no other section OF the country can
obtain. The advantage awaits the asking.
Let US ask for it.
