STRIKE ORDERED
Kansas City Street Railway En-
ployes Get Instructions to
Quit Work.
Only About One-third of the Eff
teen Hundred Men Respond
to the Call.
Both Sides Firm at st. Louis
With Little Change in
the Situation.

KANSAS CITY, May 14.-As predicted
a strike has been ordered on all the
street car lines, of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company. About 500
of the 1900 conductors, motormen and
gripmen of this city and Kansas City,
Kan, responded. Not enough men on
any line struck to make any appreciable
effect on the running of cars on the
main lines. Many of the men not al
ready members of the union are joining
the order, however, since the strike
leaders have taken stand, and it seems
very likely that general tieup will re-
suit. Beyond misses and epithets hurled
at the men who took out cars, the strik-
ers did not resort to any disturbance
during the morning hours. Police have
been stationed at the different power
houses and strenuous effort will be
made to stem at its inception any ten
dency toward violence on the part OF
strikers.
The strikers made their greatest show
of strength at the Twelfth street power.
house, where only six conductors and
two gripmen out of

reported for duty. The strikers gath.
cred on the corners block away and
watched proceedings. Walton Homes,
general manager of the Metropolitan
Railway company, and Conway Homes,
general superintendent, were on the
ground early and assured the loyal ones
of protection. Fearing trouble, how
ever, General Manager Homes tele.
phoned to Sheriff Chiles for assistance.
On the arrival of the latter each con-
ductor and gripinan was sworn in as a
deputy marshal before he mounted his
car. Police were stationed at each end
of the train. The strikers shouted
"scabs," but made no effort to stop the
cars, and the ice once broken cars fol-
lowed each other in quick succession
and soon practically the entire equip.
ment was in motion.
On the other main lines also all con.
ductors, motormen and gripmen were
sworn in as deputy marshals. Marshal
Chiles said he intended to protect prop
erty and life if he had to swear in all
the men in jackson county.

OPERATOR SLEPT
Baltimore and Ohio Employe
Is Responsible for a Disas-
trous Wreck.
Rear-End Collision Occurs in a
Tunnel and Seven Lives Are
Crushed Out.
Dozen Firemen Sustain Serious
Injuries Fighting Flames in
the Wreckage.

PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-Frank Lam
tell, a tower operator in the employ of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad COM
pany, stationed at the entrance of the
tunnel under Twenty fifth street, slept
at his post. AS result disastrous
rear end collision occurred in the tun-
mel, causing the death of Engineer
George Loeb and Fireman George
Hinchman, and, it is believed, five
tramps who were stealing a ride. Fire
followed the wreck and dozen or more
fremen were injured while fighting the
flames and are now in the hospitals.
All of the dead are still buried in the
wreckage. Operator Lantell has disap-
peared and the police are looking for
him.
The accident occurred shortly after
midnight. The vicinity of the tunnel
several hours later was the scene of
wild excitement. No one could ap-
proach nearer than within 200 feet of
either opening owing to the
Volume of Flame and Smoke
which issued therefrom. The fast New
York bound express freight train of 3S
cars reached the tunnel on time and
slowed down so that some of the cars
could be shifted. The second section
of the same train, composed of 80 cars,
was due about 10 minutes later. 1t was
Towermap Lantell's duty to signal the
second section that the first had stopped
in the tunnel. This Lantell did not do,
having, it is said, fallen asleep. The
second section approached the tunnel at
a rapid rate of speed and crashed with
full force into the first section. Engi-
neer Loeb and Fireman Hinchman of
the second section were Immediately
crushed to death and the cars, piled in
an indiscriminate heap, began to burn.
Four oil cars exploded, adding to the
horror of the situation and feeding the
flames. The loss to the company is
estimated at $4,000. =.

Stowaway Brides.

"Stowaway brides are not as rare at

1t is quite easy for girl to slip aboard
an outgoing steamer and stow herself
in one of the hunks below decks. lying
quietly there till well out to sea. A
case happened little while ago. the
girl coming to meet her fiance here. AS
both were poor, the former resorted to
this perilous expedient to accomplish
the desired end. One would think that
such a heroic endeavor would deserve
a better reception; but on arriving.
having been worked very hard on ship
board for passage, the maiden was so
changed by her ordeal of love that
when her betrothed met her he refused
to marry her. A few days later, while
being taken back to the ship for de-

DoUBLE.DYED TRAITOR.

The remarkable exhibition OF
lickspittleism given by A. M. Stew
enson in his letters to the Denver
Times, on Roosevelt's personality
and his trip through Colorado,
were about as nauseous doses as
ever dished up to the reading pubs
lie by Colorado newspaper.
For four years, or since the na-
tional republican convention at St
Louis in 1896, this big dufer has
been parading his loyalty to silver
and his pretended friendship for
Senator Teller. Slightly removed
above the grade Of the ward politi>
clan, this turncoat jumps into the
political arena to preach doctrines
of his new fellowship in politics,
which has been text for his tongue
in denunciation tor the past four
years.
With such hypocrisy most fla
grantly evident to the public, the
Times flamboyantly parades his
judgment upon men and measures
in its columns. Fortunately few
people are deceived by anything A.
M. Stevenson may write in this
campaign. He is well known
throughout the state, however, not
any more SO than are his methods.
There is about as much principle
and patriotism in his politics, as
could be compressed into the hol>
low OF grain of mustard seed. All
he does and ever did do in politics
is for spoils and policy.
1t is said he was much disgrunt
led when on leaving the silver re-
publican party, his desertion and
turncoatism did not create more
comment. 1t is said he ranted and
swore, as only piratical politician
could swear.
Notwithstanding Wolcott has al>
ways laughed up his sleeve at the
fellows pretentions, he is now that
gentleman's most servile tool, pick
ing crumbs from the table, where
he formally feasted. If Stevenson
believes by his turncoat act, in de-
serting the party he aided in creat-
ing that he has won favor with
Colorado people, he is badly mis-
taken, as'the Colorado folks are not
slow in discovering traitor and
Stevenson will not be much higher
in the scale of public esteem, than
that other bird of ill omen and
traitor to the people-Edward o.
