1t is said TINT a new order will
shortly take effect relative TO the ON
ployment OF railroad trainmon in the
West, and possibly all over the coun-
try. Under the new order it will be
impossible for my MAN who is per-
manenily disabled by tho loss Of fin
grnR, parts OF hands or fect, defective
eyes'ght or herring, to secure en-
ploymcni in the train service OF west
orn railroads. The order has been
promulgated, and it Will DO enforced.
1t will not affect men now in service
and in good standing, but hereafter
employment will DO refused men
whether the disability occurred in the
service u the railroads or elsewhere,
Tho recent disastrous wrecks are
supposed to be one reason for tho
new order, but there seems to be no
disposition to make shorter hours OF
labor for the men who drive the
heavy trims across the country.

SUICIDE OF THIS WOMAN
is UNS0I VABLE MYSTERY

The mystery surrounding the death or
Mrs Sydney Smith, the pretty young
widow, who took morphine Thursday
night at her boarding house, Is Houston
street. and who died at the Grady hos
pital Friday afternoon, is still I'M
solved and viii doubtless remain so. The
young man who carried her to Ponce de
Leon Thursday night failed TO show up
at the corOner's inquest and none of the
occupants OF the boarding house know
who he was.
No reason can be assigned why the
young woman should have sought death.
She was young. apparently happy and I'm
the best OF spirits. IL Is not positively
known whether she took an overdose Of
the drug through mistake or intended
TO kill herself. A letter. which was found
in her room addressed to her mother, did
not intimate that she was going to take
the drug The contents OF the letter. are
of a private nature and are not given to
the public. though the coroner. was given
the letter to read.
The young woman was not seen by any
one i'm the house after she left with the
young man Thursday night until she was
found unconscious in her room Friday
morning She had been heard returning
10 her room about 1880 o'clock at night.
For a time she was heard moving about
the room. Next morning the maid, who
went to clean up the room. found her in
bed in an unconscious condition.

WIRELESS OPERATORS ARE
ON STRIKE IN HAWAII

HONOLULU, Hawaiian Island, Aug. rs,
via San Francisco Cal, Sept 6.-What is
probably the first strike of wireless tele-
graph operators ever known is now in
progress on the island of Lamar. All mes
sages between Honolulu on one side and
Maui and Hawaii on the other go through
the Lanai station.
Andrews and Wagner, the regular oper-
ators in Lanai, organized a mutual pro-
tective union with L. Hagerman. HaSer-
man absented himself from his post about
a week ago and was discharged.
The other members Of the wireless tele-
graph operators mutual protective asso-
citation at once ordered sympathetic
strike. No business can be done and the
company is losing money every day as
nothing but wireless messages can be
sent through. The strikers demand that
Hagerman be reinstated and refuse to
permit any one to take their places. Once
one Of them wavered, but he was threat
ened with bodily injury, and so weakened
and rejoined the strikers.
F. ]. Cross, general manager, appealed
to Sheriff A. NJ Brown yesterday. Cross
will go to Maui and secure several depu-
ties and them go to Lanai and try to
break the strike.

FOLLOWED NEGRO LOVER
FROM PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. "a letter
has been received here from Youngstown.
N. " Fort Niagara, asking If Kid Clark,
a well known Birmingham negro, was at
home.
1t seems that Kid Clark is we'll known
here and has many friends. He went to
the Philippine Islands in the United States
army and distinguished himself. He wrote
back to Birmingham frequently and made
O trip back to this point. According TO
the letter received from Fort Niagara.
Clark met a Filipino girl and won her
love. IT seems he has a wife In this coun-
try and this his Filipino friend would not
believe. Clark came back to America and
the Filipino is also here.
The letter to hand says that the Fllipi-
nos name is Conception Ticson and she 10
very pretty, with considerable wealth. She
makes no accusation against the Birming-
ham negro, as far as can be learned, but
desires to find him.
Clark has not been seen lately In Bir-
mingham. He was last heard of in New
York The case is one of interest.

FLEEING BOYS SAY THEY
SAW 4 MAN MURDERED

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 6.-Louis
and Bert Silver, aged 9 and 10 years, arriV-
ed in this city last night, having walked
so miles to avoid testifying in murder
case against John Kirk. prominent
Hawkins county farmer, living near LICK
Creek.
According TO their story, Kirk killed
John Owings, very large man, who was
stealing melons from Kinks patch, by
shooting him twice in the breast with
pistol.
Kirk then espied the two boys in the
patch, where they had just cut large
melon loose. He compelled the boys to as
sist him in carrying Owings' body to the
creek, where Kirk weighted 1t with rocks
and threw it into the creek. Kirk then
pointed his gun at the boys and told them
to leave the country at once.
Frightened badly at their experience,
they fled to their fathers home near by.
Their father, Samuel Silver. is black
smith, and he at once ordered his sons to
leave, telling they would have to testify
against Kirk and might be brought into
the affair themselves. They set out afoot
for their Uncle James Hollis home at
London, forty miles west of here.
Foot-sore and weary, but still strong in
their determination, for the horrible pic
ture of the murder is yet stamped upon
their minds. they arrived here last night.
They told their story when they tried to
get lodging land the police were notified
and carried the boys to headquarters
where they repeated their story again
and again. They do not remember the
date of the murder, claiming it was sew
eral days since.
They say that Kirk has been arrested,
but that Owing's body has not been found
and the proof against Kirk viii discharge
him unless they testify. and they remem-
Der Kinks gun when they think Of re-
turning The police are now investigating
the boys story, and may return the lads
to Lick Creek.

some OF Mrs. Bartholin's clothing. articles
that Bartholin had told his friends and
neighbors his mother wore to Milwaukee
when she disappeared.
Mrs Bartholin disappeared Tuesday. Ju-
liz 8 That undoubtedly was the day Of
her death. and it Is almost certain the
crime was committed in the daytime
while boarders in the household were
away. This theory is strengthened by
the fact that the murderer must have
buried his victim in the daytime, working
BIZ the light which came through the
small window in the front part of the
basement. To have done the work by
lamplight at night would have been too
hazardous.
Motive for Girls Murder.
The theory IS advanced that .Bartholin
murdered Minnie Mitchell because she
accused him Of making away with his
mother. The Mitchell family and other
reighhors Of the Bartholins had suspected
strange developments In the mystery Of
Mrs Bartholine's absence for weeks.
The Mitchells knew that Bartholin had
told conflicting stories OF his mothers alb
scnce.
Then. too. the young man had threaten
cd his sweetheart. She began TO fear him.
and when ne took her out on the prairie
a week ago Wednesday night TO settle his
suit with her evidently, the police argue,
the girl refused to marry him and spoke
her thoughts concerning the disappear
ance Of his mother.
She may have aroused his rage In so do
ing and he killed her.

times and seriously wounded.
His assailants were Thomas H. Will
Jams, Jr., president of the California
Jockey club, and TTuxton Beal a former
United States minister to Persia ana
Greece, and a club man of this city.
The following account of the shooting
was given by Marriott before he was put
under anaesthetics at the hospital:
"An appointment was made by tele-
phone for a meeting by Truxton Beal.
About o'clock Beal and Williams came.
1 answered the door myself. When reach
ing to take their hats off Beal struck me
a heavy blow in the face and made an
other slash at me wi h his fist.
" Smash him, the - cried Will
Jams. snvor
IT fled as the blow on the forehead al
most blinded me- / then started upstairs
and Williams began shooting"
The first shot fired shattered Marriotts
left leg below the knee and he fell to
the steps. As he rolled to the bottom Of
the stairs two more bullets were shot
into him. One cut through the thigh,
few. inches below The hip. passing clear
through the Leg The other struck him
In the right hand.
Mrs. Marriott came to the head of the
stairs in time to see her husband fall.
She started down to him, Then 1t is
claimed, the revolver was. turned In her
direction and two more shots were fired.
One passed within four inches OF her
head.

trolls racing in California. He inherited
a large fortune from hts father, and is
rated as a millionaire.
Frederick Marriott the wounded pub
Usher, also is we'll known. He inherited
The Newsletter, a weekly publication,
from his father, who established the pa
per many years ago. Marriott was also
publisher of The Overland Monthly
While the alleged slanderous story pub
lished by The New-Letter, which caused
the shooting, did not mention the young
ladys name, 1t was generally known who
was referred TO-
The young woman was heart-broken
over the publication and appealed to
Beale, an old friend of her family, for as
sistance. Beale asked the advice of WILL
Jams and together they went to Mar
RIOTS house. The shooting FOLLOWED.
Beale said:
1.-THE attack was made on a particularly
warm friend of mine who lives with her
mother In San Rafael She is well known
in society ana not the leaSI WOru OF scam
dal ever has attached to her name. Re-
Gently her sister became insane and is
now in a sanitarium. The article appeared
in last Saturdays Newsletter. 1t does
not mention her name, but it indicated
clearly at whom 1t was aimed. 1t told
of her playing tag in a night gown at
Mount Tamalpais with a party Of friends.
I'VE felt perfectly justified in taking the
measures we did and have nothing to re-
greet"
Neither man would say who did the
shooting and each seemed perfectly will
ing to shoulder the blame.
