bar. Without a seconds warming Carr
drew revolver, wheeled and fired directly
at McMenomy's head. The bullet went
wild, however, and Just missed Japanese
boy who was on stepladder cleaning a
mirrow.
The Jap came down off the ladder with
crash, and all but McMenomy hunted
safe quarters. Before the smoke of the
special pulled his revolver and fired two
shots III rapid succession at the now re-
treating Carr. Fortunately, however, both
! bullets missed and buried themselves in
the wall, one on either side of its target.
The shooting attracted the attention of
| Officer +. w. Riley, and as he rushed into
the saloon Carr was preparing to bring
his revolver into action again.
McMenomy was looking from around
q corner, also ready to renew the duel as
soon as convenient. Riley, however,
ordered Carr to throw up his hands, but
before tie latter had time to comply the
policeman was on him and had wrenched
the revolver from his hands. Policeman

FOR WORDEN'S DEFENSE,
The American Railway Union
Appeals to the Work
ingmen.
Federal and State Court Judges and
the Railroad Rountly
Denounced.

The recent refusal of the State Supreme
Court to grant a new trial to c. SWorden,
who was convicted of murder in connec-
ton with the wrecking of the Sacramento
train, has caused storm of indignation
among the local railroad men and particu-
larly the members of the American Rail-
way Union No. 345 of San Francisco.
This body met Wednesday and the at
tendance was larger than it had been for
a year or two past. When the Worden
case came up the members were all of one
mind-that an innocent man was to be
hanged and that the Southern Pacific Com
pany and the courts were in collusion to
strike blow at the striking railroad men
for daring to oppose the railroad.
AS a result of their debate the members
of the union passed resolution bitter
and pointed as spear dipped in gall.
The resolution recites that the Southern
Pacific, through its agents, is trying to
launch an innocent man into eternity.
Worden's innocence, the mem bers assert,
they could have proved, but were pre-
vented by the courts ruling out all evil
dence tending to prove this assertion. In
the resolution the railroad, the Supreme
and the Federal courts are roundly de-
nounceu anu dH appear Is indue u aii
workmen not to stand idly by and see a
fellow-workman henged.
& paragraph is devoted to Federal
Judge w. w. Morrow for his judicial con-
duct in the case of Cassidy and Mayne,
charged with interfering with the running
of trains, charging him with refusing to
listen to all of the evidence. The Federal
authorities also were denounced for failing
to prosecute Coils L. Huntington.
The Worden case will be taken up by
the American Railway Union and another
effort will be made to save him from the
gallows.

terian Board.

The Rev. Hugh Taylor, missionary of
Lakawn, in the province of Laos, in the
north of Siam. arrived here on the Coptic
yesterday, accompanied by his family and
Miss Isabella A. Griffin, a missionary OF
Chuengmai, which is the principal city OF
Laos. All are missionaries of the Presby-
terian board.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor are from n ebraska,
and have been in Laos eight years. Their
three little children have learned the
native language, and cannot speak Eng
lish.
''There are thirty missionaries all told
IN the province of Laos" said Rev. Mr..
Taylor, land all are of the Presbyterian
board. The town of Lakawn, where Mrs.
Taylor and I have been, has about %, 900
people, while the province has 100000.
Our missionary work is very encourag-
ing. The natives are of the Malay race.
They are quiet and tractable. Their main
industry is agriculture. Rice is their prin-
cipal product, but they raise few vege-
tables and little corn.
"The main trade is in teak. This wood
is about their only export. We are in the
mountain region of the Maawung River,
an upper tributary of the famous Manam
River. The native houses along the river
are OF BAN boo and thatch and are built on
poles, because of the danger of floods.
1.-The country is tropical and produces
bananas, oranges and other similar things.
1t is malarions, however and this consti-
tutes one of the drawbacks.

boys and the other for girls. The latter
has as high as sixty students at time.
Books are issued in the native language.
We had the type made five years ago, and
began publishing the books three years
ago."
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor are at the Occi-
dental. They will be here several days
before starting for their old home in Ne.

It's Plant to Be Placed in the Nucleus
Building.
1t is probable that in the near future the
Examiner will be moved to the Nucleus
building on Market and Third streets.
Some time ago w. r. Hearst purchased
this property with view of establishing
there new home for his paper. Lack of
room and other causes caused him to tenn
porarily abandon the project That he in
tends soon to make this move is apparent
from the fact that he has recently pur-
chased of the Cook estate twenty feet
more of ground on Stevenson and Third
streets. The sale and transfer was yester-
day confirmed in the Superior Court.
From what can be learned, the Nucleus
building will not be torn down, but extern
sive alterations will be made that will per-
NIT the housing of the Examiner there.

cocaine habit" Is a recognized fact in
America. where our Teutonic race. sub
jected to an intenser climate and an in
tenser life than in Europe. has devel-
oped a quicker sensibility and more ir-
ritable nerves. The Inhalation OF chic

tation to many, and women who would
scorn any indulgence In wine sip eau

Infinitely more dangerous than alco-
hol are these forms OF inebrity. In that
no revolving associations surround
them. Their victims do not regard
themselves as drunkards-at least, not
until the habit is fully formed. They
cannot identify their nervousness, their
faintness, their sleeplessness with crav-
ings of the staggering loafer OF the
street. nor the rest they obtain after
the dose with the stupor OF vulgar
drunkenness. Therefore, TO an extent
which is not generally realized. women
are subject TO this temptation. Their
imagination is not offended. and they
can usually obtain the drug they want
without suspicion. and carry IL about in
convenient forms. IL takes long time
for even intimates to realize that the
depression. the irrftability. the varying
. pods of a rigid abstainer arise from
runkenness; we generally conceive
that condition as being due TO only one
source. And drug habits of various
sorts become incurable just because no
one realizes that they are simply
form of inebrity.
The general habit OF drugiging Is TO
be condemned. No healthy person
