Zoarites, who lived in a colony
north of here for almost a century,

stitutionality of Eight
Hour Law.

Helena, March 23-For the first
time in it's history, Marysville, the
second mining camp in Importance in
the state, is threatened with labor

mill men al eight hour day, which
was enacted by the last legislature.
The miners union will insist that the
law must be enforced.
A committee Of union men went to
the Bald Mountain mine, owned by
Thomas Cruise Of Helena, to procure
applications from two n%on-union men.
One, however, escaped and the other
refusing to join the union, was order
out of the camp.

BUT few CHANGES
Constituent Companies of Steel
Combine Continue Under
Old Management.

P%ittsburg, March 23-The United
States Steel corporation, the greatest
combination of interests in the world.
will, from present indications, be do
ing business April 1 and in the Pitts
burg district, the leading iron and
steel center of the country, over SO, 900
employees in the mills and blast Furnaces
will have new employers. 1t is not
the intention Of the new corporation
at present to make any change in the
management of constituent companies,
but it is likely that a new system of
operation will be introduced.
Among the concerns embraced in
the big steel combine, the Carnegie
company heads the list as to the num-
Der Of employees and is closely followed
by the National Tube company and
the American Steel and Wire company.
All are open mills, only those" of the
American Tin company and several of
the American sheet steel companies
being under the jurisdiction of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers, the wages paid being
regulated by an annual scale agreed
upon by the organization and the COM
panies. The wages at the other plants
are arranged by agreement between
the workmen and the companies. II
seems likely that this system will be
continued by the United States Stee'
corporation. No announcement has
been made of the formation of a gen
eral wage scale for the various depart
ments of the big combination.

FORTY-S|X DAYS
OF STARVATION
Hunger Tortures Man
Lost in Canadian
Wilderness.
Too Weak to Walk, He
Crawls for Weeks in
Search Of Food.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept 30-With
only Pickering spark of life left in a
frame wasted by forty-six days of con-
tinuous hunger, Fred Larore, a mining
man well known here, returned to Van
couver to-day.
Since August Il Larone has been lost in
the woods. His experience was horrible
one. There are days of which he remem-
bers practically nothing, and the period
of his starvation is like one continuous
nightmare. Too feeble to stand wan and
pale of face and absolutely helpless, La
rome was picked up by the loggers at
Wulffsohn Bay and brought into camp.
Men who knew Larone two months ago,
when he weighed 210 pounds and was a
finely built man, do not recognize him
now in the slender, shriveled being who
weighs barely 140, and who has appar-
emily passed through the valley of the
shadow of death.
Larone was revived enough to tell his
story to-day. He left Vancouver early in
August. He had been drinking much
and his friends were not far wrong when
OF delirium. For days the loggers at the
Mcintyre camp searched for him, but
without result. He says he walked for
days He ate berries and bark and just
managed. to keep alive. The pangS of
hunger wore off the influence of the
/ liquor, and he had a sense of the danger
Of death but he could do nothing but
each day he feared that the succeeding
one would be his last. For an entire
month he struggled for life. He tried to
catch fish out of the brooks, and was
forced to eat toads and small reptiles that
he could easily catch.
After tllirty-fve days Of wandering, La
rome caught porcuplne, and the eating
of it undoubtedly saved his life. For
four days he lived on the raw meat and
gathered a little fresh strength. Fortu-
nately he did not meet any wild animals
and there was little to break the mo-
notony. 1t was four days after he heard
the engine whistle at the bay before he
was able to reach the track. He crawled
most of the way on his hands and knees,
for he staggered and fell heavily if he
attempted to walk. He dragged himself
! near the railway line and waited, and
later was picked up.
Larone is now at the camp recuperat-
ing. He believes he could not possibly
have survived another day.

Coils Tighten About Al
legged Murderer of
BlOchman.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA BARBARA, Sept 3O-The
fourth day of the trial of William Kelso,
charged with the murder of Harry E.
Blochman at Santa Maria on the even
ing of July g. brought out the prosecu-
tion's mot damaging testimony against
the prisoner. This was given by James
Davisson and Juan B. Arrellanes Jr.
Davisson is young man of % years.
He said that, with Arrellanes and a
friend from San Francisco named Dake
he met Harry Blochman at point with
in a few blocks of the Blochman home
and going in that direction. Harry was
with Kelso. He stopped Davisson by
taking him by the arm and asked him
If a game of baseball which had been
planned for the Fourth had been called
off. He was told that it had. After a
few further remarks Harry and Kelso
went on toward Harry's home.
Arrellanes substantially corroborated
Davisson's testimony. He also said that
he saw Harry Blochman with Kelso be-
tween 9:15 and $50 o'clock. The way he
fixed the time was by the fact that he
set his watch by the electric clock at
the Santa Maria Bank. 1t was then 9:10
o'clock They walked southwark along
Broadway nearly to Blochman's house
and were returning when they met Harry.

RAISIN- GROWERS TAKE
ISSUE WITH DIRECTORS
Up in Arms Over the Associations
Slash in the Price of Their
Product.

FRESNO. Sept. 30-The low price for
raisins-Iess than three cents in the sweat
boX-quoted by the directors of the Cali
fo-nia Raisin Growers Association, has
eAS sperated the anti-Kearney element and
many kearneyites and a call for a mass
meeting of growers, to be held on Octo-
ber 2, has been issued by committee of
ra aisin men. The circular terms the low
figure quoted a violation of the contract
under which the association claims con-
trol Of the crop. 1t calls upon growers
to postpone delivery Of raisins until ac-
ton can be taken to enforce fulhllment of
the associations side of the contract.
The consensus of opinion among the
ra:sin men is that cents would be a fair
competitive price and that this figure
could be obtained If there were no associa-
ticn. 1t is believed that a majority of
The associations members will refuse to
deliver their raisins and will combine to
resist suits if they be commenced.
President Kearney. speaking for the
directors, in reply to a demand that they
resign, says to the growers:
IF you will sign the leases we will
gladly resign, if that is your desire, for
we feel that the signing of the leases
guarantees to all the success of the associ-
alton and higher prices for raisins for
three years"
He follows this with a lengthy defense
Of the directors action.

DEMANDS MONEY
Of MAJOR BERRY
Blackmailer Threatens
Life Of Stockton
Citizen.
Officials Fail to Entrap the
Writer Of Anonymous
Letter.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

STOCKTON, Sept. 3O.-According to the
Mail of this date, Major c. ]. Berry Of
this city, formerly of Visalia, received a.
letter on the 24th inst. commanding him
to place $1,000 in gold at certain road
tank on the lower Sacramento road, just
north of the city. He was commanded to
bury the money by one of the tank posts
and warned that in case of failure, or
should he report the affair to the officers,
he would be shot or poisoned forthwith.
The unknown correspondent said he
wanted the money only as a loan and
would mail a note in exchange. The letter
was type-written.
At first Berry believed 1t was a hoax,
but on reading it over he decided to give
the letter to the District Attorney. The
latter, taking deputy from the Sheriff
once into his confidence, decided to lay a
trap for the blackmailer.
Berry drew $1,000 from the bank, and,
as he was informed in the letter that he
was watched, pains were taken to carry
the money as publicly as possible to his
stituted for the gold, and in the evening
he drove to the place and deposited the
coin. Two deputies disguised as tramps
lay in the field near at hand to watch pro-
ceed1ngs. They failed to see any one ap-
proach the spot during the night, and the
next day on rereading the letter Berry
found he had placed the sack in the
wrong place.
The mistake was rectif1ed and another
watch set. Two suspicious strangers
were intercepted, but there was no evil
dence against them.
The officers believe the blackmailer was
Clarence Berry, the Klondike millionaire
who has large interests in this county.
Major Berry processes not to feel nerv-
GUS over the affair, but he is anxious for
possible.

is that Of Private Peter D. Devine, Troop
H, Eleventh Cavalry, who was tried by a
general court-martial at Fort Ethan AL
len, VT, on the charge of "using disre-
spectful words against the President of
the United States in violation Of the four
teerth article of war;
1t appears from the evidence that when
the news of the shooting of President Nc
Kinley was received al Fort Ethan Allen
Devine expressed great satisfaction over
the crime and applied an uncomplimen-
tary epithet to the late President
His comrades handled him roughly be-
fore he could be secured in the guard
house. He was found guilty Of the charge
by the court and sentenced to be dishon-
orably discharged from the service of the
United States, forfeiting all pay and al
lowance due him and to be confined. at
hard labor for one year.
The record of the case having been re-
ferred to Major General Brooke at New
York, commanding the Department of the
East, he indorsed 1t and says
f1t is not within the power of the re-
viewing authority to increase the punish
ment, but in order that the prisoner may
not wholly escape punishment the SEN
tence is approved and will be duly exc
cuted at Fort Columbus, N. j.. to which
place the prisoner will be sent under prop

General Brooke's action in the case is
final and the record simply has been sent
to the War Department for filing.
