THE LAST RAIL

terday Morning

Salt Lake, Nov. 16.-The last rail
was laid Sunday on the long cutoff
of the Southern Pacific railway across
the northern arm of Great Salt Lake
from Ogden to Lusin, Nevada. There
is yet a great deal of work to be done
before the cutoff can be used for
traffic, but the track will be ready
for use by next Friday when President
Hartman and other officials of the
Hartman system will make a formal
trip of inspection of the new line.
1t is expected that regular traffic will
be inaugurated within sixty days over
the cutoff, which is expected to save
at least two hours in running time
beside eliminating the heavy expense
in hauling trains up the long steep
Promontory hill around the northern
edge of Great Salt Lake
Railroad officials state that reports

Baking Powder Trust King
Will Have to Face Courts

Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 16.-The
indictment of William Zeigler, the
multi-millionaire baking powder trust
magnate, is the reigning sensation
mere. While it was generally felt that
a true bill would be returned, yet the
Iact that the indictment had been
found was not known until the met
ropolitan papers reached here on the

DILL was found mainly on the testi-
mcny given to the Cole county grand

explorer, whom Zeigler sent to the far
north, and afterward quarreled with;
Jet the evidence of w. A. Cochrane,

STRIKE BREAKERS USELESS
Union 10 Being Strengthened In
Numbers and FinancialIy-No
Disorder Results

Chicago. Nov. 16.-With an official
announcement by railway officials that
the Wentworth avenue line would be
operated on a regular schedule SER
vice. the movement of cars was re-
sumed today. The police in forces
were massed aoout the barns while a
detail of patrol rode upon every car
as heretofore. At intervals of hve
minutes cars left the 18th street barns
until twenty were en- route for the
business district.
Reports to the effect that union men
were going over to the company and
deserung the organization are deelar-
ed by both President M. c. Buckley
and Secretary l.. d. Bland of the un-
ion, to be false.
said President Buckley: With
in the last four days IS men have
made APPLICATIONS to, join the union.
Among this number are many who
have worked for the company fol
years and who heretofore have refused
TO join the union.
The company started two boilers at
52nd and State street power house
today, where twenty non-unionlsts
have been quartered as though in a
hotel. At the State street power
house fifteen men had been similarly
installed to take the places OF those
who have quit.
Twelve strike breakers were SNUG
gled into the barns at West 77th stree,
and Vincennes Road.
Cases are becoming numerous where
passengers who ride under police pro-
lection on cars manned by non-union
crews, it is alleged, have been follow
ed By strike sympathiZers after hav-
ing left the cars and beaten or stoned.
The nrst case in which women fig
ure is that of Miss Beatrice Kimbary
and her mother, who assert that they
were thus treated by crowd near
39th street and Wentworth avenue.
Miss Kimbary swore out a war
rant charging charles Harper, a unloiI
conductor, with having struck her In
the face.
At the West 44th street crossing OF
the Belt line railroad tracks, switch
ing locomotives dragged strings oi
fleight cars over the street car tracks
at snails pace.

ton company stopped in the path OF

Teams quickly packed in around the

way mems union for a campaign OF
education in the fight on the city rail-
way, circulars, dealing with the nnan-
cial features OF the richest street

were sent broadcast today.
The body of the circular is an e4-

day in the northern Colorado fields,
the operators proposition to concede
au eight-hour day pending the result
of the strike in the southern Colo

Information from the southern fields
to the effect that neither the operat-
ors nor the strikers show any signs

BIG FIRE In
A FACTORY
Five Lives Lost in a Motor
Factory in Cleveland, Ohio
Heavy Loss

Cleveland, o., Nov. 16.-Three fire.
men killed and two injured is the re-
suit of the largest fire that this Co.
has suffered in months today. Two
of the firemen were killed almost in
stantly, having been caught under a
falling wall. Another died an hour
later in the hospital.
The fire was in the large street car
barn of the Cleveland Electric Rail-
way company on Heimden avenue and
Pearly street and broke out about 3
O'Clock from, as yet, an undetermined
cause. The employees of the street car
company believe, however, that it
was of incendiary origin.
There were one hundred motors
stored within the building, which
covered an area of four acres, and the
dames spread like a whirl wind,
necessitating the calling out of ali
available fire nghting apparatus in
The city The motors are valued at
about two thousand dollars each. The
LOSS ON the building is placed at $780,
900.
The fatalities were caused by wall
falling suddenly. At o'clock one
hundred frantic firemen had succeed
ed in uncovering six bruised and
bleeding forms.
Fireman Schweda was dead when
found. Harry Vandelvelde had both
.egs broken and was internally in
jured. Robert Reed was taken uncon-
scious from the ruins.
The firemen worked desperately in
removing the smoking, steaming
bricks from their comrades.
The firemen were constantly driv-
en- back from the ruins of the fallen
walls by the smoke and fire. A half
lozen steamers were directed into the
Iebris in a desperate effort to cool
- sufficiently so that the work of res
cue could ko on.
The first one rescued was Michaei
Corrigan, who was pinioned beneath
1 mass of bricks. He was pleading
With his comrades to help him. A
lash was made through the smoke and
ire and Corrigan was seized by half
A dozen hands and dragged to a place
Of safety.
1t was found that both his legs were
broken. Moaning piteously, he was
aiken to a hospital. The bodies OF
duffy and Schweda were next brought
out.
Ten minutes later Robert Reed and
Harry Vandevlae, bruised and burned
we're taken unconscious from the
ruins.
Battalion Chief Andrews, who was
standing a little back of his men, was
struck by a large piece of stone ana
INJURED about the legs. He was taken
home.
1t is believed that there are no more
fatalities although firemen are still
searching the ruins.
