STRIKE NEARS
A SETTLEMENT
Representatives of Boiler
Makers Union and Rail
road Meet for Discussion

A conference was held between rep
resentatives of the striking boiler-mak-
ers and the officials Of the Southern
Pacific yesterday afternoon. and as a
result it is probable that all the men
now on strike will be back at work by
next Monday.
1t is authoritatively stated that only
few minor points remain to be set
tied and a new agreement signed. 1t is
expected that this settlement will be
made this morning, the papers signed
and a strike which threatened to tie UP
the whole Pacific system of the South
ern Pacific will be at an end.
At the conference yesterday after
noon the railway company was repre-
sented by General Manager Markham
and AIessrs. Small and Heintzmann, su-
perintendents Of motive power John
Mcneil, grand president of the Broth
erhood Of Boiler-makers and Iron Ship
Builders of America, represented the
strikers. After a long conference. in
which the points at issue were argued
pro and con, proposition was finally
agreed uDon for submission to the un-
ion. 1t provides that all the men now
out be returned to their old positions.
but gives the company the privilege of
retaining the men who have been TAX
ing the strikers places, provided they
are employed in departments other
than the boiler shop, such. for instance,
as the scrap pile or the freight yards,
or other departments where skilled
labor is not required. There is some
dispute regarding apprentices, but this
is not considered of sufficient moment
to cause a serious breach.
At an informal gathering Of the men,
bers of the union in Harmony Hall last
night the action of it's chief officer met
with hearty approval. The men seem
anxious TO get back to work The dis
pute was not over wages or hours, but
over the failure Of the company to re-
employ the union men who we're laid
off when work was slack, taking in
their places non-union men.

SEWS WOUND
IN THE HEART
Los Angeles Police Surgeon
Performs Very Delicate
Operation OH COlOred Man
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, July 2S.-Alfred
Smith. colored. was stabbed in the
heart by two other negroes this even
ing during a fight over some trivial
matter and was taken to the Receiving
Uosnital apparently in a dying con-
dition. Realizing that here was hard
" a chance to save the mans life, Po-
lice Surgeon A. M. Smith took des-
perate chances and performed one of
the most amazing pieces OF surgery
ever attempted here.
The operation consisted of cutting
away the ribs over the patients heart
until that organ was plainly exposed
and then taking two stitches IN the
heart itself. DR.. Smith then stitched
sup the cardiac sack and restoring 1t to
place closed the incision in the ne
gro's body through which he had oper-
ated.
When the negro came from under
the influence of the anesthetic he was
seemingly in better condition tnan
when he entered the hospital and he
is thought to have more than an even
chance of recovery. DIR. Smith stated
that the knife entered the left VEN
tricIe, but not deeply enough to let
out much blood or interfere with the
muscular movement of the heart
That very movement had increased
the length of the wound and the
stitches were taken on the outside. To
reach the heart portions of the ribs
had to be cut away and If Smith lives
these will be replaced later with silver.
The man who stabbed Smith has not
been captured.

joining the court room, to which the
representatives of the press had been
allowed access on the opening day of
the trial. was, by order of General
Morris, closed to every one excepting
those Immediately connected with the
case.
Lieutenant Smith again conducted
his case single-handed. He opened UP
the session by again challenging Can
tain Samson l.. Faison OF the Thir
teenth Infantry and requesting that
Faison be permitted to retire from the
court. Smith was Sc strenuous in his
demands that finally Faison withdrew
from the board and the trial proceeded
without him.
Smith raised objections at every
point. Some Of his objections, it is re-
ported, were well taken. and at others.
it is rumored, a suppressed smile suf-
fused the faces of the members of the
court. Nevertheless he succeeded in
keeping the courtroom cleared of wit
nesses at frequent intervals, that the
members of the court might discuss
the different objections he brought IN
The entire day was taken UP by the
prosecution. the court adjourning at 5
o'clock.

occasion.
Report has it that on that momen
tous evening, when Lieutenant Hani-
gan sent word to White to put the
ladies" of the orgy party out of his
quarters, White sent back word that
there were no ladies there. When
Hanigan broke in the door a grand
scampering took place. White pointed
his pistol at Hanigan, and Hanigan
grabbed a gun from a sentinel and
threatened to shoot White unless he
behaved himself. In the meantime the
boatman who brought the women over
from the city was on the beach. shout

Tonight both sides TO the dispute

victory. According TO the packers,

the fact that the packers are slaugh-
