MRS. WHEELOCK RUN
OVER BY A DRAY
Team of Runaway Horses Dashed Around
the Corner Before She Could
Escape.

Mrs Charles Wheelock was run over by
a runaway team yesterday afternoon and
seriously injured.
The accident occurred near the corner
of Fifth avenue and Twenty-frst street,
where new building is in course of con-
struction Bricks and lumber are piled on
the sidewalk and Mrs. Wheelock had start
ed to walk around the obstruction when
the frightened horses, attached to a dray,
dashed around the corner
The horses ran close to the eurbstone,
and, striking Mrs. Wheelocl, threw her to
the ground. The wheels of the heavy dray
passed over her body, and when picked up
she was unconscious. She was carried to
her home by physicians, who said that the
injury was quite serious.
1t seems that the negro driver who had
the team in charge had left the wagon to
deliver a trunk to a resident of Twenty
first street. During his absence the horses
became frightened and started down the
street at full speed.
After running over Mrs. Wheelock they
were halted in Fourth avenue. The negro
driver took charge of them and drove away
without anybody knowing who he was con-
sequently no arrest has been made.

SOME CONTRACTORS AGREED
And a Few Men Are Retained on
Smaller Jobs.
WILL BE NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
1t is Thought by Both Sides That an
Amicable Adjustment of the DIFF
ferences Will be Reached
by Tuesday
WILL BE NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE

The carpenters strike is on in earnest.
1t was formally declared yesterday morn
ing and affects about 400 men.
The contractors are standing firm and
with the exception of a few small jobs, all
work in the city has been practically sus-
pended.
The carpenters claim that a number of
the contractors have signed the scale and
that fully two-thirds of their men are back
a work, but, on the other hand, Secretary
IIer of the Builders and Traders Ex-
change, claims that as far as the contract
ors are concerned the situation is un-
changed and that none of the larger con-
tractors have given in.
In accordance with the plans arranged by
the union, the men reported at their jobs
as usual yesterday morning and presented
the new scale, demanding minimum wage
of 50 and a nine-hour day. All OF the
larger contractors refused to sign the scale
and between three and four hundred men
walked out On some of the smaller jobs
the contract was signed and the men went
to work as usual.

CARPENTERS ON STRIKE AND CLAIM
To HAVE WON FIGHT ALREADY
Between 800 and 400 Men Refused to Go to Work Yes
bdq Morning

about twenty signatures had been secured
to the new scale, leaving practically only
100 men out He as well as other members
of the committee expressed the belief that
all of the men would be at work by Tues
day, and that the union had practically
won its fight. 1t was also given out that
number of non-union men had come out
with the union men, and would stand firm
for the scale.
There was little excitement around the
headquarters, and with the exception of a
few strikers who were congregated on the
sidewalk, there was nothing to indicate
that anything unusual was going on.
Headquarters of Contractors
AT the headquarters of the Builders and
Traders Exchange, corner of Third avenue
and Nineteenth street, an Age-Herald re-
porter found Assistant Secretary Lewis
alone with his thoughts. lie had little in
formation concerning the strike except that
some of the men mad refused to go to work
and that some work had been suspended.
Secretary Ker was seen later and stated
that with a single exception the contractors
who We're members of the exchange were
standing together.
of men had refused to go out and went to
work as usual. He also stated that the
exchange members employed fully two
thirds of the union carpenters of the city,
and that first-class mechanics were being
paid at the rate of $3.50 per day. These
men, he said, were reluctant in joining the
strikers, but that the contractors did not
blame them. and would hold their jobs
open for few days pending settlement.
E1e expressed the belief that the con-
tractors would take the matter up with the
men and that an amicable settlement could
be effected. although he disclaimed that the
statement was in the nature of an overture.
Just what tomorrow Will bring forth can
not be foreseen but it is generally believed
that an amicable adjustment will be made
without further trouble.

WILL NOT LIKELY BE
SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
Plasterers, Painters and Bricklayers VIII
Not Go Out to Aid the
Carpenters.

The plasterers, painters and bricklayers
will not go out on strike through sym
pathy for the carpenters.
The bric<layers belong to a separate and
distinct organization and are not controlled
by the Federation of Labor or any union
outside of their own. They say that they
have been paid the rates they want and
are perfectly satisfied. One of them said
yesterday:
"Our organization is one of the oldest of
its kind in the United States and it's work
ing machinery is almost perfect. Whenev-
err we feel that we are being treated un-
Justly, we demand higher wages and they
are invariably granted. We have no cause
for complaint just now. and I can not see
that it would benefit us to join the car
penters in their strike for a higher scale"
Several of the plasterers and painters
who have been working on the same build
ings with the striking carpenters have also
quit their jobs This was done on ac
count of the probability of "scab' labor
being employed to work with them. No
strike has been called by either of these
organizations but one of the plasterers said
last night that he would not be surprised
if such an action was taken.
''You see we do not meet until next
week." said he, land we cannot tell until
then what will be done I do not think,
however, that we will call a strike. As to
the carpenters. l do not believe they are
getting enough money for their work, and
I certainly hope they will force the con-
tractors to accede 10 their demands
Pei tiers viii Not Go Out
The painters working in the shops and
on standing jobs will probably not let the
carpenters strike deter them from their
work. AS a general thing they are not
connected as closely with the carpenters
as are the plasterers. These men work side
by side with the carpenters. and are strong
ly in sympathy with the strikers. They
say that they will refuse to work by the
ready quit. This action is purely a matter
of individual preference. and is not or
dered by the Plasterers' union.
Most of the members of the different la
Dor organizat tons are of the opinion that
the carpenters strike will soon be at an
end, and that 1t will not be necessary for
them to take any action one way or the
other.
The Carpenters union Is comparatively
new Organization, having been in existence
only two or three months. Under the con-
stitution of the American Federation of La
Dor, no union can call general strike until
it has been organized six months Under
this rule tho carpenters cannot officially
ask their brother unions to join them in
their present strike.

Have Established Headquarters

The carpenters established headquarters
at the City hotel, No. 307i2 North Twenti-
eth street, where the strikers congregated.
The headquarters are in charge of the Of
ficers of the local union, who were soon
busily engaged with the details gathered
by the vigilance committees which were
at work in different parts of the city. Dur
ing the day several meetings Of the COM
mittees were held, and towards evening
everything was working smoothly, al
though little statistical information could
be obtained
Chairman Smith, of the committee in
charge, was seen late yesterday afternoon,
and stated that about $50 men had quit
work on the refusal of the contractors to
sign the scale. He stated that in some in
stances the scale had been signed, and that
the men went to work as usual He stated
that the several committees had been ac-
lively at work during the day, and that

Is YET TO COME
Peabody, Amateur Champion of
World, Will be Here,
HICKMAN AGAINST HIM
Lee Richardson in His Marvellous Trick
Riding Will be Welcomed Back
Has New Turn Which
is a Beauty
HICKMAN AGAINST HIM

'Billy" Plckens, the well-known bicycle
man, arrived in the city yesterday, and will
Immediately begin making arrangements
for the great cycle meet to be pulled off
F here the latter part of the month.
Mr.. Pickens has leased the coliseum for
two nights and has arranged several match
races between Earl Peabody, champion
amateur rider of the United States, and
Ped Hickman. southern amateur champion.
The meet will last two days, and some
of the most exciting contests ever witnessed
in the south can be expected.
Lee Richardson, the champion trick rider,
will also be on the programme both nights
1t will be remembered that Richardson
gave an exhibition here during one of tho
spring meets, and made himself a favorite
with the lovers off cycling sport in Birming
ham. Richardson has a new turn which
ne does in front of calcium lights. This
made a great hit at the Casino in New
York, and will be produced here.
The most important factor of the NEE;
WILL of course be Earl Peabody. Nearly
every one has heard of him. A few years
ago ne l6uJ the tHlCdSO university as Il
great amateur rider His father is rich
and mas given him every advantage in fur
thering his athletic ambitions. Within
two years he broke all former amateur
records and won more races in the same
length of time than has any rider in cycling
history. A few weeks ago he participated
in the International amateur races at Mon
treal and carried off a majority of the
prizes. He won the famous Columbian
trophy cup, which Is fine specimen of the

meet.
Everybody knows Ped Hickman, the swift
little Birmingham rider. He holds all the
southern records, and has won 80 per cent.
of the races he has entered. 1t is not to
be expected that he will win all the races
from the champion of the United States,
but with his familiarity with the coliseum
track his friends expect him to break even
with Peabody.

Won More Races

The riders will be paced by either an
electric motor tandem or three relay ordi-
nary tandems. With this swift pace the
spectators will no doubt see all southern
records disappear
Mr.. Pickens says that he will put up
forfeit That in the mile races between
Hickman and Peabody that the winners
time will be less than, or as low as so.
No time made on the coliseum track
heretofore has been less than 2:03, and
this swift clip will doubtless startle the
local riders.
On each Of the two nights an open race
will be run, which will give everybody a
chance to try the two champion riders. On
the first night it will be mile amateur
open with both Peabody and Hickman en-
tered. The open attraction on the second
night will be a one-mile handicap. Pea
body and Hickman will be put on the
scratch and the other riders placed ac-
cording to their records. In this race Mr..
Pickens expects to see the record of 2:07
broken.
The races between Hickman and Pea
body will consist of a one-mile, two-mile
and five-mile match.
Peabody will also ride a mile against
time.

No Trace Yet of the Disappeared Of

Search Parties Return to City
Land Entries Being Investigated
Mrs. Giles Bondsmen Uneasy.
Especial to The Herald.)

Fillmore, Jan. 24.-The county COM
missioners met in special session yester-
day and the chairman stated that the
bondsmen of j. S. Giles asked to be re-
leased. The board then passed this
resolution;
"Whereas, J. S. Giles, county clerk
in and for NIillard county, Utah, on the
18th day of January, A. D. 1899, aban-
doned his office as said county clerk,
and has since that time absented him
self from said office, without providing
any deputy or assistant TO perform the
duties OF said office, and his where
about being unknown to the board of
county commissioners, or any of his
relatives. and
Whereas, The business in said office
is such as TO require the officer to be
present on each and every business
day, to perform the duties of said Of
fice;. therefore, be it
Resolved, By the board of county
commissioners in and for Millard coun-
ty, Utah, that the office of county clerk
of Millard county. Utah, be and the
same is hereby declared to be aban-
doned and vacant
Christian Anderson of Fillmore was
then appointed county clerk for the un-
expired term of two years. Mr.. Ander-
son stated this evening that he has
made a hurried investigation of the
books and papers of the missing county
clerk, and everything seems to be all
right, with the exception that Mr.
Giles bond cannot be found.
Giles is still missing. No word of any
kind has been received from him, nor
has any one seen or heard of him since
cne week ago tonight. The searching
parties which have been out securing
the country with the expectation OF
finding his body have returned, and it
is now generally believed he is alive
and out of the county. although others
still hold to the idea that his mind was
turned and he wandered off, or that
he killed himself in some out-of-the-
way place. Again the broad assertion
has been made that Giles has met with
foul play, but there is no ground on
which to base such an assertion. For
the past several days people have been
coming in from all parts of the county
to investigate their land entries, etc,
but so far nothing wrong has been
found concerning them.
Today the bondsmen Of Mrs. J. S.
Giles, who has a lease on the Fillmore
dairy and whose husband was the man
ager, made a demand on the stockhold-
ers of that company that they be re-
leased and the stockholders take charge
Of the plant and business at once.

CUBAN TAX COLLECTIONS.
General Brooke's Objections Heard
By the Cabinet.


Washington. Jan. 24.-The protest
against the continuation Of the Span
jsh bank at Havana as medium for
lax collection was thoroughly discussed
at the cabinet meeting today, and Cen
eraI Brooke's statements of objection
carried conviction into the minds of the
c2binat officers, although no final ac-
ton was taken The officials OF the
war department are, however, perfect
" willing to aecept as sound General
BrcOl,e's suggestions, therefore, il may
be expected hat the original plan viii
be abandoned. General Brooke's state
Llent IS, il effect this:
The Spanish system Of taxation has
been fruitful cause Of dissatisfaction
and has led TO more than ore revolt.
even the last movement being founded
il large part upon the eXtoTtiOns and
Iardships Of the tax system. The taxes
were heavy, unequaiiy laid, and col
lected in an extOrtioHate manner. The
Cubars thoroughly distrust the institu-
ton for its acts in the past, and it
should not nOE be retained in the re-
organization OF the government.
Looking toward the economical con-
sisserations that were urged, General
Brooke maintains that, as a matter Of
fact. the United States government,
through its own machinery. could col
Iect the Cuban taxes at not more than
half the sum that would have to be paid
over to the Spanish bank, based on the
collection rate of per cent on collec-
+iogs. though this rate is'far below the
rate received by the Spanish bank IN
der the old regime.
