CHICAGO FREIGHT HANDLERS DISTURBANCE
Railway Companies Bring in Section Men to
Do the Work-GeneraI
News.

Chicago. July s.-The freight hand
lers' strike. which called out 5000
men yesterday. appeared no nearer a
settlement this morning than yester-
day. Chairman job of the state
board of arbitration today said that
neither the railroads nor the strikers
had made reply to his offer of arbi-
tration-. At all the freight houses
pickets endeavored to persuade new
corners from taking jobs. and sought
10 lure the men away already at
work. The jobbing interests are Sc
riously tied up in the shipping de-
partment, although the railroads
have not had opportunity to handle
much freight outside of perishable
property.
At protracted meeting of the
Railway Clerks union today it was
decided not to aid the striking
freight handlers.

While the origin of the Houlton fire
is not positively known, its start is at
tributed by many of the citizens there
to a lighted match or a cigar stub,
dropped by some careless person into
rubbish that had been allowed to col
lect in the rear of the buildings which
first took fire. If this is the case, it is
g severe penalty to pay for public and
Individual lack of care and precaution.
Every accumulation of combustibIe
rubbish and litter which is allowed to
collect in neglected back yards and cell
lars is a direct invitation to fire calam-
ity. Tt only needs the combination OF
the combustible rubbish, and the care
less if not malicious, party with match
or cigar, to start fire, and this COM
bination is pretty sure to come about
sooner or later In Houlton's case
there was the added element of dry
weather and a violent wind, and the
three factors of the carelessly left rub

PHILIP L. WEAVER
PASSES AWAY
End of The Long Life of a
California Argonaut
Yesterday.

Philip L. Weaver Sr. died yesterday
afternoon at the Lunalilo Home, OF
which Mrs. Weaver is in charge. He
was past seventy -four years of age.
His last days were rendered painful by
cancer of the stomach, and his death
has been expected for some time He
leaves three children, Mrs Henry Eau
gel of New York City, Mrs. Franz
Boedefeld of San Francisco, and Philip
L. Weaver of this city
Mr.. Weaver was one of the few early
Californians left to tell of the gold min
ing excitement He was born near Sy-
racuse, New York. in 1928, brought up
in Watertown of the same state,
whence Mrs. Agnes Judd also came. He
came to California by way of the 18TH
mus of Panama in 1852. walking across
the isthmus, and meeting with hard
ships and adventures on sea and land
among the most notable of which was
the breaking out of cholera on the over
crowded steamer and a narrow escape
from death by the disease.
He engaged in placer mining at
Greenwood on the American river. but
soon opened miners store Thence
with fortune made in three years he
went to Sacramento and established
the firm of Weaver, Wooster & Co, we'll
known in the eos. After that he be-
came a member of the firm of Moses
Ellis & Co. of San Francisco, another
well known firm of years gone by. He
was an active Vigilance Committee
man under the famous Coleman.
In his later life he became the super
intendent of the San Francisco aims
house for six years, until change of
administration threw him out OF late
years his health has been poor and he |
has led a retired life. With him passes
another of the active men who did the
pioneering of California.
The remains will be cremated and the |
funeral services will be held at Hawai- |
ahao church on Wednesday next at 4:3O |
