ism and tyranny of today. The seeds
that have been planted are beginning
to take root. some day they will begin
to grow and bear fruit. Then the pro,

they nave natural rights. instead of
the privilege to exist only when they
are wanted by the capitalist to pro

Process Of Readjustment
After the Strike Is
Slow.
Rush Of Grain Shipment on
the River Embarrasses
the Draymen.

No serious hitch has occurred in the
process of readjustment of labor condi-
tions under the agreements placed in the
hands of Governor Gage, and yesterday
saw an increased number of union team
Sters and water front laborers in their
accustomed places Inc process is neces-
sarily a slow one, however, and the union
men are apparently reconciled to further
idleness for a part of them.
Manager George Renner of the Dray-
mems Association said yesterday that by
tomorrow the draymen would be running
every wheel again. A large number of
horses were brought in from pasture yes
terday, and more will arrive to-day, and
as fast possible they will be shod and
made ready for work. Some of the dray-
men have had horses out to pasture along
the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers,
and now there is such a rush in the ship
ment of grain that the river boats will
carry only few horses at a time, and
the draymen will have much trouble in
getting their teams back In harness again.
While he thinks that teaming will be at
full blast tomorrow, Manager Renner es-
Inmates the number of union teamsters
who will be driving at not more than
1000. but additions will be made to their
ranks day by day. 4 larger part of the

SLOAT'S COUNSEL
ACCUSES OTHERS
Saws Several Officers Of
Seventh Are Gin the
Same Boat"

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.-The trial of
Captain o. P. Sloat, Company X Seventh
Infantry, National Guard of California,
by court-martial was resumed to-day in
Armory Hall. Major Prescott, Captain
Sloat's counsel. led off with something of
a sensation after the argument on de-
murrer to the complaint. Major Prescott
moved that the entire trial be set aside.
as it had not been proceeded with under
the rules laid down by the articles of war
He alleged that. in view of the fact that
the judge advocate was consulted in the
courtroom behind closed doors, when he
should have been outside with advocate
for the accused, Captain Sloat should be
discharged. This motion was overruled
Counsel then attempted to show that all
officers sitting in Judgment on Captain
Sloats case were ''in the same boat" hav-
ing been guilty. he said, of the same
offense as that charged against Captain
Sloat namely: Hardness in forwarding
reports. Major Prescott read the general
order mentioning the names of those
guilty of tardiness, among them being
several captains now sitting in the court
Several witnesses were examined this
afternoon, among them being Colonel
Berry.

DEALERS IN BAGS
COMMIT PERJURY
Obtain Large Consign-
ments Of San Quen-
tins Output.

STOCKTON, Oct. 5.-As a result of the
investigation made by the Grand Jury of
San Joaquin County, it has been devel-
oped that no sacks for grain have
been obtained in this county from San
Quentin by fraud. District Attorney Ash
ley of this county, who went over the
books of San Quentin Prison. has OBJ
tanned facts and figures, however, indi-
eating that grain sacks have been fraud
ulently procured from San Quentin in
Tulare, Salinas, San Luis ObiSpo, Mon
terey and San Francisco counties.
II am able to say to you now, after the
investigation of the alleged sack frauds.
that the Grand Jury of this county has
found that as far as this county is con-
cerned everything is as straight as a
string" said Mr.. Ashley. THE greatest
orders came from Tulare, Salinas, Mon
terey, San Francisco and San Luis Obispo
counties, one firm alone in the latter
county procuring 100000 sacks. 1t would
require 900 farmers to make affidavitS for
there evidently has been perjury commit
ted. 1t is probable that l will call the at
tention Of the District Attorneys of the
counties mentioned to the facts in the
matter"
The output of the San Quentin jute
mills is limited, which made it necessary
to place a limit of 1000 upon the number
of sacks any farmer might procure.
Agents Oh farmers in this county tried
to get bags from San Quentin early in the
season. but were unable to do so, being
informed that the output had been eX-
hausted. They were somewhat surprised
to learn upon communicating with San
Francisco dealers that San Quentin bags
$4,000 lots, delivered on the steamers at
once.

TRAFFIC IS UNTRAMMELED.
Sailors and Longshoremen Gradually
Returning to Work.

The water front looked more like itself
yesterday than 1t has for a good many
weeks. Although for the latter part of the
strike period the loading and discharging
of ships was going along pretty much on
schedule time, the streets were used eX-
clusively for business purposes and their
use both by pedestrians and conveyances
was limited to actual necessity. The
water front yesterday looked more like a
section of a city in free country than it
has since the beginning of the strike. Un-
guarded wagons and trucks carried an
almost unbrOken procession of merchan-
disc in both directions along the line of
docks. Pedestrians went about their busi-
ness with an air of freedom, the regular
throng of Saturday afternoon sightseerS
was In evidence and the army of nom
union men enlisted during the strike was
out for an airing.
work again, and yesterday there were
more longShoremen employed. Among
the latter, however, there is still feeling
of dissatisfaction. Fifteen union men en-
gagged to load the British ship John Cooke
at Main street refused to work if the
services OF non-unlon hoiSttng engineer
were retained. The attempt of the long
shoremen to dictate was fruitless. how
ever. They were promptly discharged and
the work continued by the crew of the
snip. The steVedoreS working on coal
snips also have grievance. Instead of
receiving 90 cents an hour and 81 an hour
overtime their pay has been cut to 30
CclllS anu 10 CeIllS ON0TIlulS 1nlS cut Is
not universal but will probably rule all
along the front in a few days. Many
union men have refused to work for this
pay, but as there is now quite force or
non-usaion labor their refusal will cause
but little inconvenience.
The straw Bosses or foremen on all
the principal docks will hereafter be nom
union men. Each of the big steamship
lines will select men specially adapted for
this work and without union affiliations.
In this way the companies will be sure of
at least the framework of a working gang
the undivided allegiance of which can be
depended upon
The Pacific Mail Company has so far
given employment to no union longshore-
men, but if the work of the present week
should be heavier than the regular non
union force can handle number of the
men that have been out on strike will be
engaged.
Very few union firemen have gone to
work since the strike. In spite of the rat
ification of the strike settlement by the
union the marine firemen are not satisfied
with present conditions.
The strike detail of police yesterday per-
formed it's last day of strike duty and
to-day the peace of the wharves will be
looked after by Captain Dunleavy's regu-

BOYS Confession
MAY FREE KELcO
Two Lads Admit Having
Given Perjured
Testimony.
Manufacture Evidence Used
Against Alleged Slayer
Of Blochman.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 5.-The most
startling testimony heard in years in any
court in this county was taken this morn
ing in the Superior Court by the defense
in the Kelso murder trial The testimony
may have the effect of sending two small
but precocious boys from Santa Maria to
the reform school One of them admits
not only having perjured himself at the
Coroner's inquest over the body of Harry
Blochman, whom kelso is accused of hav-
ing murdered, but further admits having
manufactured evidence hitherto regarded
as important in the case.
The body Of harry bIOchman, showing
nine stab WOUNDS, Was found on the even
ing of the SATURDAY after July 4. 1t was
in a bean field near the residence of l..
Z. Blochman, the foster father of the
murdered boy. Intense excitement fol-
lowed in SANTA Maria, and individual citi
zenS set out TO find evidence in the case.
While the excitement was at its height
Emanuel Pires, q boy of Is years, pro-
duced d blood-cOvered whipstock, which
he had found in the field near the scene
of the crime. This whip was shown be-
fore the Coroner's jury, and young Pires
testified in detail to the tinding of it.
for hs 6ef He broe
down completely and admitted that he
had manufactured the evidence. He said
that at the suggestion of a boy of II
years, named Floyd Walker. he had pro-
cured the whip, taken it to a slaughte-
house and covered it with blood, and then
secreted it in the field near where the
body had been found.
The murdered boy had been a, school
mate and friend for years of the two boys
who planned the whip episode. The blood
stained whip stock has been one of the
exhibits in the case hardest to be ac-
counted for Both sides were at a loss
as to how to connect it in any way with,
the murder. Young BlOchman was killed
with a knife, being stabbed nine times
The Call correspondent here asked
Pires and young Walker about what they
had done. All Pires would say that
if he were sent to the reform school
Walker would go along.
