Strike in Denver.

Denver, COL, May 13.-Twelve thou
sand men and women, members OF or
panized labor in Denver, were called
out on strike this morning, and it is pre-
dicted that business will be at a com
pIete standstill by nightfall. The places
closed include the restaurants, almost
without exception; grocery stores,
bakers and butchers. All employees OF
the commission houses, some retail
stores and scores of other classes OF
workers are out. Railroad employees
will probably be among those called out
and thereby a serious feature may de-
yelop in the nature of a stoppage Of
food supplies.

Hotel Guest Commits Suicide.

New York, May l9.-A woman whose
name is said to be Mrs. Claude Guernsey
but whose residence is as yet unknown.
committed suicide in a room in the Hotel
Navarro, early this morning, by drink
ing carbolic acid. She went to the hotel
at 1870 last night, with man who
registered as "John d. Walker, and
wife" About two hours afterwards
Walker came into the hotel Office and
informed the clerk that his wife was
seriously i'll. The hotel physician was
called but the woman was beyond the
reach of medical aid and soon died:
The police were notified and arrested
Walker. He had been drinking and
could throw little light on the suicide
other than to say that her name was not

Berlin, May 19.-The Morgen Post
today says that if the American feet OF
warships comes to Kiel, the Emperor and
his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia,
will be present at the magnificent fes-
tivities which will be arranged in honor
of the guests. The paper also says that
great preparations are being made at
Kiel to give the feet a grand welcome,
should it visit that port. The Morgen
Post thinks, however, that the circum-
stances attending the proposed visit of
the Americans ought to prevent Ger
mans from receiving the fleet with en-
thusiasm.

The Wastes Of the Body.

Every seven days the blood, muscles and
bones of a man Of average size loses two
pounds Of WORKOUT tissue. This waste cannot
Be replenished and the health and strength

A CASE HAS come to light in New
York where woman seventy years old
who had lived with a daughter, was
turned away from her home a few days
ago because she had become a burden on
the family. Before committing her to
the almshOuse the poor woman was
taken to the home of married son in
the hope that ne might find place 10
his family circle for the unfortunate
creature. He refused TO receive her,
however, on the plea that he could not
afford to keep his mother, and was I'M
moved by her mute entreaty for shelter.
Resigned to her fate, the old woman
asked to be taken to the almshouse. A
last effort was made in her behalf at the
home of another married son, and he, on
the promise that the other members OF
the family would contribute toward the
support of his mother, consented to take
her into his home and to spare her the
grief and shame of becoming an inmate
of an almshouse. The above is sad
commentary on members of the human
race who are devoid of parental love and
who cruelty wash their hands of re-
sponsibility when aged parents meekly
urge their claims. Honoring father and
mother is probably the most sacred duty
which is enjoined upon the human race,
and the above incident seems hardly
credible in civilized city in the TWEEN
tieth century.

TrampIed child to Death.

New York, May 19.-Seven-year-old
Edward De Rosa, living on Elizabeth
street, died yesterday from injuries re-
ceived by being knocked down and
trampled on by crowd of boys in the
street Monday night. The boy was
standing in front of his home, when the
crowd of boys known as the Mott
street gang" came running down the
street after another boy whom they had a
grudge against. Without trying to avoid
the De Rosa boy, the 'gang" swept
down on him, trampling on him as they
passed. An elder brother carried the
little fellow into the house.

s.. Ereiqht TIe.up.

Bernard Petschaft's View Of the Recent
Freight Te-un.
Bernard Petschaft of the Baldwin Loco
motive works. while in town yesterday,
Indicated that the shortage of railroad
equipment which had troubled the coun-
try this winter was one rather of engines
than of cars. The cause was the extraor-
binary effort made by the railroads to raise
the freight blockade. Every engine was
worked until it collapsed. The strain put
a good many machines out Of business and
temporarily disabled others. Said Mr.
Petschaft:
'It is little use ordering cars now. be-
cause every car builder in the country
has more orders on his books than he
come, but what use Is there In ordering
great numbers of cars when there are not
locomotives in service to haul them.
1T is all very well to say that the
railway companies and the locomotive and
car companies have been remiss in their
duty to the public because they did not
anticipate so tremendous wave as has
reduced the transportation system in this
country to SO chaotic a state but the fact
remains that even the hest posted men In
the United States on such matters could
not have anticipated such an avalanche OF
traffic.
There is very little prospect of a
cessation of the present great traffic. de-
mand. The resources of the country and
the railway mileage as well rs the railway
usage have increased out of knowledge and
the railway managers OF the country have
tremendous problems to solve within the
next few years. Long lines Of single track
will have to be doubled if the business is
to be taken care Of, and the capacity OF
locomotive and car manufacturing plants
is being increased as rapidly as possible
to meet the inevitable strain that must BIZ
met for all future time so far as it is now
POSSIBLE to determine .-s..1,~ - ~. Z.

Special to The Journal. -
New York. April 20.--Rumors are cur

tain western interests are negotiating for
the building of a line from Portland into
the center of Oregon. The rumors are
rather intangible, the most definite state
ment obtainable being that Mr.. Wilcox
of Portland. Ore. and President A. l..
Mohler of the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation company. had visited Mr.. Hartman
for the purpose Of trying to come to some
definite conclusion with regard to the
building of this road A director Of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company
says that the matter has not come up at
any of the board meetings of that COM
pany, and that he has nothing to say about
1t in his official capacity. He understands
however that the plan does not contem-
plate the seeking of a new route thru
the Cascade mountains, but rather the
running of line down from some point
on the Oregon railroad between the Des-
chautes and John Day rivers into the cen
ter of the state. This director does not
believe that Mr.. Hartman is willing te
: undertake any rev construction IN ina,
part Of the country pending the completlor
