| William G. Cramer, n switchman in
the employ of the Rock Island, died
ats his home, 1918 Fifth avenue, at 9
O'Clock yesterday morning from the
effects of an overdose of morphine adj
ministered by himself to allay the
suffcrings from the effect of an in
jury which he received week ago to-
1 dav while in the performance of his
duty in the Rock Island yards. At
that time two fingers of Mr.. Ora
mer's right hand were crushed
while switching cars in the Rock ISL
and yards So severe were the in iu-
ries that the company's surgeon, DIR.
S. &. Plummer, was obliged to ampu-
tate one of the injured mem bers at
the first joint, but the other he had
saved. Mr.. Cramer suffered instensely
from the injury, nevertheless, and DR..
Plummer prescribed morphine in pei
let form last Friday in hopes of quiet
ing the nervous system and pro-
ducing sleep. These the sufferer
took, but feeling he was not re-
ceiving the proper relief, he
went to Grotjan's drug store and pur-
chased more morphine in the form of
powders. Saturday night he suffered
greatly, and before retiring he took a
large dose of the morphine, and it is
supposed took more during the night.
Alarmed by Heavy Breathing.
At O'Clock Sunday morning Mrs.
Cramer was awakened by her hus-
bands heavy breathing, and arousing
him was assured by him that he was
all right. Two hours later, again OBJ
serving his labored breathing, she
attempted n second time to awaken.
and finding that she was unsuccess-
full, she became alarmed, and sent for
DR.. Plummer, who upon arriving
pronounced the sufferer beyond re-
lief, and at the hour stated he died.
Mr.. Cramer was 3S years of age,
and leaves wife to mourn his loss.
He WAS a member of the Illinois Naval
Reserves and served with the Moline
battalion during the war with Spain,
being on duty on the receiving ship,
Lancaster. When the Rock Island
division was established he became a
member of it. The funeral, which
will be held from the First Baptist
church at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon,
will be with the honors of the Naval
Reserves.
Coroner Eckhart conducted an in
quest over Mr.. Cramer's remains. A
verdict was returned that he came to
his death from IN overdose of NOR
phine administered by himself.

Grain-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.

PROTECTING THE LEvEE.
Sand Hauling Abuses should be Stopped
on River Front.

The sand haulers have not been
checked in their Disagreement of the
new levee between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets, and every day are
making the track, which their heavy
wagons by constant wheeling over the
same course have cut, deeper. 1t is
time something should be done by
the city to put a stop to this abuse of
an improvement designed for the
benefit of all class of hauling from
the river front, and inasmuch as the
sand men have shown themselves to
be needless of the damage they are
doing by persistently following the
same track. the city would do we'll to
require them to repair the levee and
then compel them to move their sand
boats to another landing.

DECISION IS URGED.
Arsenal Machinists Demand Ac'
ton on Capt. RusselPs
Report.
DELAY OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

James O'ConneII, Head of the Union,
ed If an Answer is Not Forthcoming
in a Reasonable Length of Time-Aid of
Congressman and Citizens Sought.
1t is to be inferred from statements
made by James O'Connell, executive
head of the international machinists'
IL lion. that determined course has
been outlined with reference to the
Rock Island arsenal trouble, and that
if action on the report of Capt. Rus
sell, who investigated the grievances
of the striking machinists, is not had
by the war department within rea-
sonable period, all the batteries COM
manded by labor in the country, at
least those directed by the American
Federation of Labor, of which Mr..
O'Connell is also vice president. will
be turned on the national legislators
to the end that appropriation shall
be diverted from the government plant
here with the ultimate consequence
that the arsenal will be closed down.
1t would, indeed, be deprecated if
tardy action on the part of the de-
partment at Washington in dealing
with this question would lead labor to
consider that its only redress lay in
such an extreme course of procedure.
Speedy Disposition Desired.
There is no reasonable grounds for
the delay on the part of the secretary
of war. The report has been in Wash
ington upward of week, but as far
as can be learned it has not even been
reached by the secretary of war yet,
All are of one opinion as to what
ought to be and will undoubtedly be
the decision when it is made, and that
is for the abrogation of the rule now
preventing commandants from treat
ing with employees through commit
tees of their number, q rule that was
the cause of the present trouble at the
arsenal, as result of which $50 ma
chinists have been idle for several
weeks.
Mr.. O'Connell arrived in the city
today. He, with committee of ma
chinists, called upon Congressman j.
K. Lane, at Davenport, for the pur-
pose of arranging date for a meet
ing between him and Congressman
frInce at Washington at an early
date as possible to urge action on the
report.
Mr.. O'Connell declares there is some
undue influence at work in the prem
sises, prejudical to the men, who have
right to know whether they are
to be sustained or otherwise, so thar
they may seek work elsewhere If they
are not to be taken back at the arsen-
al. The aid of tri-city organizations
and influential people is to be sought
in urging a decision by the secretary
of war Mr.. O'Conneil is to address
the Davenport Business Mems associa-
ton tonight.
Mr.. O'Connell is in conference with
the machinists at their headquarters
in the Industrial Home this afternoon.
A public meeting will be held at the
Industrial Home tonight.

in favor of Wright, or rather in re-
spouse to a letter from Wright TO
Green, in the sum of $3.50. This he
had regarded in the light of a loan. and
the letter had BEEN handed him by Mr..
Green. Witness said he had rather ex-
pected that Wright would vote for him
from former conversations on the sub
ject, and as Green seemed to desire to
assist Wright in the matter OF a loan,
and as from what he had seen Of
Wright he considered him worth $3.50,
he drew the check, but in no way or
manner was it to be understood that
the loan of the money would in any way
pledge Mr.. Wright to vote for him.
Witness said the sums advanced to
Green were in the form of checks on
the First National Bank of San Diego.
He said it was impossible on the spur
of the moment to make any authentic
statement as to how much money he.
had expended, he having left the mat
ter in the hands of Green, and as yet
had received no report nor did he ex-
pect one until the campaign was over.
Witness said the amount given to- Green
might be $4,000, but he would prefer
to ascertain the exact amount, and then
state it if necessary. He said he had
also given $3.50 to the County Central
Committee to aid in the election of
Governor Gage
Mr.. Grant said the statement to the
effect that he had knitted Mr.. Gage
politically speaking, was utterly false
and the latter knew it; they having
talked together on the subject. Cover
nor Gage knew he had always talked
for him.
JILSON EXPLAINS.
Assemblyman Jilson was then sworn,
and said that, meeting Dan Cole in San
Francisco one day, they had discussed
the political outlook in his Gilson's)
district He told Cole that he knew
he was a winner. Cole then asked
him to take some money back
home and expend it for the good of the
ticket at large, particularly in the in
terest of Gage, Edison and Laird; but
in assisting the latter no pledge had
been demanded that, if elected, he
should vote for any particular Senator
ia1 candidate.
After Mr.. Jilson had finished Chair
man Cosper read an affidavit from G.
B. Lambertson to the effect that, as
counsel in an important law case, he
would not be able to appear before
Wednesday afternoon; also physi-
clans certificate to the effect that M.
H. De Young was confined to his apart
ment with an attack of la grippe.
Mr. Simpson, city editor Of the San
Francisco Chronicle was called, and
testified that he had no knowledge Of
Speaker Wright having gone to Mr..
Herrin to demand any sum of money
The committee adjourned until 2:3O
