STRIKERS DENY VIOLENCE
Insist That They Have Used No Unlawful
Means Against Breakers.
TESTIMONY GIVEN IN FEDERAL COURT
Judge Munger Listens to Evidence
Given by Men who are Accused
of Being In Contempt of
Court.

Judge Munger decided that the discussion
of the legal phases of the Union Pacific
strikers contempt case, which took up the
time Of the court yesterday morning, would
not interfere with the hearing of the tes-
timony of the witnesses for the defense,
and their evidence was introduced yeste--
day afternoon.
The defense confined itself entirely to
the examination of the men named in the
bill Of complaint filed by the railroad COM
pany. William Riehelieu was the first wit
ness and testified that as captain Of the
pickets he had never seen an unlawful DEM
onstration on the part OF the strikers. He
explained the system by which the strike
pickets were issued checks while at work
which called for a strike benefit II pre-
scented at labor headquarters the morning
following the issue. By this means he
stated he was able to determine II the men
we're sober and otherwise in condition for
picket duty. In addition to this daily in
spection, he stated that he had made II a
point to be present each day where the
strikers were doing picket duty. and under
these conditions he felt that II there had
been any unlawful acts on the part of the
strikers he would have known it, Rich
ellen also denied that he had used threaten
ing language towards Firth, one Of the
strike breakers, who testified to that effect
Wednesday. On the contrary, Riehelieu al
legged that Firth did all the talking, and
hat the substance of his remarks was that
he (Firth) would succeed in putting Rich
ellen in Jail before the year was out.
The remainder Of the defendants testified
separately that to their knowledge the
strikers had at no time since the %inJunc-
ton used any threats or abusive language
towards the strike breakers. They stated
that the Instructions given the pickets was
to avoid any harsh measures OF profane
language, OF anything that might In any
way be construed as a violation Of the
order Of the court. These Instructions
they said, had been carried out TO the let
ter.
On account Of an engagement Of Attorney
/ Baldwin TO appear before tue Board OF
/ Review on behalf Of the Union Pacific this
morning the case was adjourned until Sat
urday morning.

How to Avoid the Dangers Of a Cold.

Everyone must realize the dangers at
tending a severe cold and that 1t is always
prudent to remain indoors until the danger
is passed. Many, however, do not feel able
to lose the time and will be interested in
knowing that a severe cold may be broken
up and all danger avoided by the prompt
use OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
not only cures, but cures quickly and
counteracts any tendency toward pneu-
monia.

will take the opinion Of the five Cardinals to the
Pope who will decide general lines whether
he accepts the American propositions or not
after the preliminary discussions between fne
Cardinals and the Americans. especially over
the details.
According to the printed documents distributed
TO the Cardinals the American propositions are
as follows:
First-Purchase Of the lands Of the frars, the
price to be fixed by arbitration
Second-The arbiters to decide the indemnity
which the Americans Will pay for occupation of
Thrd-The above propositions absolutely con
ditional on the withdrawal OF the friars.
Fourth-If the other propositions accept
ed, the Americans propose to give a deed or by
law to grant patent to ecclesiastical buildings
public land.
Fifth-To settle by compromise arbitration
the several trusts for schools hospitals. etc
claimed on the one hand by the civil, the
other by the Church. authorities.
The situation with regard the Cardinals
is unchanged. The Jesuit Steinhuber continues
more or less active against the negotiations
which is all the more extraordinary the
Jesuits of Manila getting S45.oo0 yearly
from Washington for their Weather Bureau
establishment there. Besides. they have no
property in Manila which the United States
wants. Only praise is heard for the treatment
| OF the Carmelites by the American Government
in Cuba The few Capuchins in the Philippines
well liked by the Americans. who want to
retain them, as they have no property.
The French, Spanish and Austrian ambassa-
dors have returned Governor Tafts visits
The general impression is that the three most
powerful candidates for the Papacy are pur-
posely included in the committee that the
Philippine question may not be made a reproaCh
to one and not to the others at the next con-
cIaVe.
