unrestrained and wide-open policy,
have held meeting at which they
formed permanent organization.
They do not wish to have their officers
published, so do not give up the
names of their official roster. 1t is
understood that there is no program
for active work at this time, but
that these men stand where they have
been standing-for midnight closing

of the city in a manner that will be
less offensive and less productive of
interference, moral waves, and
trouble generally. The association
will meet from time to time, and it
may be heard from later.

DAVENPORT DOTS

After 80 years of confinement by
paralysis and constant brooding over
his troubles, yesterday noon Joseph
Howell, residing on Center avenue
just outside of the city, shot and in
stantly killed himself. Howell had
lived with his sister-in-law for Is
years and during that time had been
constant sufferer from his disease.
Later a stroke of the paralysis, from
which he suffered constantly, robbed
him of his speech, and this seemed
to make him far more melancholy
than he was before. Howell was SO
years old and for the last 80 years
had not been able to move from his
bed and everything had TO be done
for him, as his paralysis had affected
him to such an extent that he had
entirely lost the use of his limbs and
arms. During the last two months
he suffered four severe strokes and
the last one robbed him OF the power
of speech. This last trouble after 80
years of suffering was more than he
could stand, so he got hold of re-
volver and hid it until his sister-in-
law was out of the room, when he
placed the pistol to his forehead and
pulled the trigger.

NO VIOLEDCE OCCURS
in SEATTLE STRIKE

SEATTLE, March 27.-The street
car strike situation is unchanged this
morning. Both sides maintain the
positions taken yesterday and de-
clare that no concessions will be
granted. So far there has been no
serious rioting
Seven cars are being run this
morning by non-union men, who have
been appointed special police officers
by Mayor Humes at the request of
the company.
The real issue in the local strike is
recognition of the union. This is
positively asserted by the officials of
the Seattle Electric company and
tacitly admitted by the strikers. The
immediate inspiration of the forma-
ton of the new street Garments union
at this time and the strike which
has followed closely upon the heels
Of that movement is the admitted IN
reference of the Seattle Electric

company In the Tacoma strike by
sending employees of it's own to that
city to take the places of the strikers
there; but deeper than this is the
question of union recognition.
The union leaders charge directly
that the Seattle Electric company or
dered certain Of it's employees to Ia
coma, and they demand that these
men be recalled.
There is no question of wages in
the controversy. That subject has
not been mentioned in the agitation.
The fight is solely to obtain recogni-
ton of the union and to secure the
employment of none but union labor
In this city or Tacoma. Upon that
issue the struggle will proceed until
one side or the other gives way or
compromise is reached.
Both sides insist that the contest
shall be carried to the bitter end;
that 1t Is a fight for principle, and
that no concession is possible.
