kESWICK STRIKE
IS NOW SETTLED
Smelters Of the Plant
Will Resume Work
Tonight.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Jan. 27.-Unless some un-
foreseen delay occurs smoke will be belch-
ing forth from the stacks and chimneys
at the Keswick smelters tomorrow night
and the machinery of the big plant that
for two months has been idle by reason
of the strike declared by the Smelter-
mems Union of Keswick, backed up by
the Western Federation of Miners, will
be humming.
The strikers, after learning that the
Mountain Copper Company would not in
any way recognize the union. waived that
demand and only asked that there be no
discrimination as against union men. AT
a conference held in this city last week it
was agreed that should the company
publicly agree not to discriminate the
strikers would return to work and the
strike would be declared off. The follow
ing notice was sent out by General Man
ager Wright to-day and copies were post
ed over the company's property:
1.-THE Mountain Copper Company has
not and will not discriminate against any
man because of his affiliatiOn with labor
unions AS soon as the company is as
sured of the maintenance of peaceable
and orderly conditions in its neighbor-
hood it will resume its operations as rap
idlv and on as large a scale as other con-
ditions will permit and will entertain any
mans application for employment with
out regard to his membership in any
union In taking on men. all other miners
being equal, it will prefer those who have
proved their skill and value by long SER
vice in it's employment and those who,
being married have families and homes
in the neighborhood. who would be con-
seuuently the most seriously injured,
both in respect to capital and income, by
falling to obtain employment at Keswick.
Under no circumstances will the COM
pany employ any man who has engaged
in unIa wful violence toward it's property
or its employees. Tomorrow night work
will be resumed at the smelter.

TRAIN ESCAPES
The Ian DSL|DE
Tons Of Rock Fall After
Crowded Passenger
Cars Pass.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


SAN RAFAEL, Jan. PA landslide oc-
Cured early this morning on the Califor-
MIA Northwestern Railroad a few miles
north of this city. The side of the noun
tain caved in and many tons of earth and
rock were precipitated upon the track en-
urely covering it for a distance of $50
feet.
The slide occurred at the northern
mouth of the Puerto Suello tunnel and is
supposed TO have taken place just after
the nCrth-bound passenger train from
San Francisco en- route to Santa Rosa
passed through the tunnel. The up-coun-
try train was crowded with passengers
this morning and that there was not a
catastrophe is surprising. Had the slide
occurred a short time before IT did, the
locomotive of the Santa Rosa train would
have surely run into the obstruction, as
the track through the tunnel is on q down
6rade and the train could not have been
stopped in time to avoid disaster.
The cave-in is about 100 feet from the
mouth Of the tunnel up the mountain side
and the earth was torn away for width
OF sixty feet The entire mouth of the
tunnel was blocked and travel was de-
layed up to late this afternoon. The pas
senger train from the north scheduled TO
arrive in this city at $3.50 a. m. did not
get through until 4:30 this afternoon
Many of the passengers were taken TO
this city in private conveyances.

BRAIN MAY FLASH
THOUGHT OVER SEA
DR.. Parkhurst's Views
on Possibilities of
Telepathy.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Since Rev Dr.
Charles H. Parkhurst voiced his belief in
telepathy he has received many letters
from persons who agree with his views
and some of the instances of thought
transference" which they recite are in the
realm of the wonderful.
"One of these is most peculiar" said he
to The Call correspondent tonight. "A
gentleman told me that one night he had
a very vivid dream in which he thought
he had broken off one of his teeth. So
much did it impress him that he remem-
bered it in the morning and the first
thing he lid was to feel in his mouth to
see if the tooth was gone. 1t was in its
place, however, but before the day had
passed he received word from his son. who
was in Washington, saying he had broken
a tooth while he was at dinner and he in
closed the part which had been broken
off 1t was the same identical tooth
which the father in his dream believed he
had lost
Dr. Parkhurst said in sermon re-
Gently:
When we had a thought years ago
which we wanted to convey to a friend
in Europe We put It aboard a steamer in
the form of letter. Then, thanks to
Cyrus Field, who was a member of my
church, a fine electric line was substi-
tuted for the steamer and now Marconi
is thinking across the ocean by aid Of
medium million times finer than even
wire BY and by, probably, we shall be
able to think across the water without
going to the trouble and expense of set
ting up apparatus at even short ends of
the route For telepathy Is already a
demonstrable fact when exercised by GER
tain individuals.
There can be no doubt that two per-
sons or even a greater number may COM
municatet thought to one another without
any material medium. From all we know
now such communication is limited to
short distances, but that is no reason
why the distance should not be increased.
THE fact that thought may be commu-
nicated from one brain to another with
out material connection is a vital fact
to consider. Two men in the same room
may communicate their thoughts to each
other by telepathy. or whatever you may
call 1t. This is well known, as is the fact
that longer distances have been covered
in the same way. How long it will be be-
fore we will be able to think across great
distances is a mere matter of specula-
tion at present and great minds CIV
ing much attention to the question

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

1t IS not because Pyramid Pile Cure is
so expensive that many people decline to
give 1t a trial, but because they find it too
great a tax on their credulity to believe
that the published letters bearing testi-
mony to the merit of this remedy are
genuine and bona fide; especially to those
who have realized the suffering incident
TO piles is it incredible that any one who
has been afflicted twenty-five and thirty
years with the worst forms of protrud-
ing and bleeding piles should be cured by
the application of a simple remedy, when
their physician has assured them that
the only relief is in a surgical opera
ton.
This is rightfully viewed with dread
by all those afflicted. as it means at the
least a great shock to the nervous sys-
TEN. with more than a possibility of utter
collapse and death: in the majority of
cases. too, there is return of the COM
plaint, owing to the fact that the cause
is not removed.
The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile
Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dol
lars to any one who will show a single
published testimonial to be not genuine
and unsolicited; this latter feature is
most gratifying. inasmuch as these let
ters are written solely out of gratitude
and with the hope that those who are
afflicted as the writer's have been NAV
learn that relief is at hand, at a compar-
atively trifiing expense. Pyramid rile
Cure is for sale by druggists at fifty
cents package, or will be mailed by
the makers to any address upon receipt

MOURNERS MEET
WITH ACCIDENT
Driver Joseph Christen
SWerveS His Horses
Into Fence.

Four women and a driver had a narrow
escape from death while returning home
from the funeral of Miss Rose Early,
which was held yesterday morning at
Holy Cross Cemetery.
On returning from the cemetery the
cortege had reached the hill this side of
the seven-mile post on the old county
road and was proceeding down the steep
grade, when suddenly rein broke at
tached to one of the horses driven by
Joseph Christen. The horses became
unmanageable and dashed down the hill.
Christen showed cool nerve and self
possession. By means of the single rein he
swerved the horses into the fence by the
roadside, throwing them to the ground.
The carriage was wrecked while Chris
ten was thrown from his seat and was
picked up in an unconscious condition
Mrs. E. F. Thyle of AIS Eddy street, one
of the occupants of the carriage, receiv-
ed a severe wound On the right arm from
the broken glass and numerous cuts and
bruises about the face. Mrs. O'Hare, an
elderly woman living at 1041 Mission
street received a severe scalp wound, and
her two daughters, Maggie and Mamie,
who were also occupants of the carriage,
suffered nervous shocks and numerous
bruises.
Christen, after regaining conscious
ness in the pharmacy at Ocean View,
was taken to his home at 122A
injuries he was later removed to the
Central Emergency Hospital, where
it was found that he was suffering from
a severe concussion, a lacerated right
arm, sprained wrist and possible in
ternal injuries.

LEssLER REFUSES. TO SIGN.

The statement had prepared submitted TO
LeSsler In this room the next Monday 1t was
the morning when the subcommittee was to
report to the full committee and 1 handed
Lesser the paper.
At this point Roberts produced the let
ter. which was to the effect that it was
not Lessler's intention to connect the
Holland Company directly or indirectly
with an offer of a bribe.
''Mr. Lessler," he said, declined to sign
1t because it was addressed to the HoI-
land Company"
Wheeler interrogated Roberts as to his
connection with the Holland Company,
finally asking:
Have you not been a very ardent
avowed and aggressive adherent of the
Holland submarine boat proposition?''
Yes, l have been and so l have
avowed."
Lessler was recalled and corroborated
what Roberts had stated.
1T is substantially true he said. II
do not remember all the details. | did
not read the letter as 1 stated. l did not
refer to the question to Mr.. Nicholl, who
seemed to know all about it. 1 did meet
Mr.. Roberts in Statuary Hall. Whether
l said oh, my Cod and the rest of it
1 do not remember. L did say to Mr.
Roberts that L would like to have the
thing stopped, and, just as he stated
voluntarily made him the proposition that
IT, in his judgment as the advocate here
of the Holland torpedo-boat, 1 should
sign the statement showing 1 had made
no accusations of anything between them
l would do So
The committee then went into executive
session.
