HACKS NOT RUNNING.

Owners Fail to Secure Men Without
Licenses to Place on Vehicles.
Hacks, unless they are being driven
by owners or licensed men, are not
running. The men who applied for
positions are not anxious to take
chances against the stablemen, who
are on strike, and the drivers. who are
locked out.
Tonight there will be more or less
discussion of the ability of men who
have applied for positions as drivers
of hacks and the union will be on
hand to watch proceedings when the
Police Commissioners meet.
The owners will endeavor to secure
men who are willing TO go to work
and if arrests follow protect them.
Neither side is doing anything which
viii result in trouble at the outset, for
the owners say they will go into court
and the drivers say they are not sane
tioning any violence.

Secretary o. A. Tveitmoe of the
Building Trades Council, who has just
returned from a trip to Sacramento,
gives a glowing account of the success
attending the work being done by the
union men that turned contractors to
meet the demands of the union men
who were out on strikes because Of the
trouble with the old contractors, who
had declined to comply with union
rates. In fact. as Tveitmoe put it,
there are not union men enough at

The cry was uttered after she had

HANCOCK is IN COURT.

The sensational Hancock divorce ac-
tion, an action which resulted in the Sc
curing of a decree of divorce by Mrs.
Ella Wood Hancock from Robert Han
cock, wealthy young man about
town, was revived yesterday in Judge
Seawelrs court when the court made
an order amending the decree Of di-
vorce. Under the original decree Han
cock. who was directed to pay Mrs.
Hancock $500 a month alimony, could
not dispose of any of his property, the
alimony acting as a lien. Now he can
sell it all. with the exception of a piece
at the corner of Sixth and Natoma
streets, for the order made by Judge
Seawell yesterday amends the decree
to that extent. The property on Sixth
street must be held by Hancock as Sc
curity for the payment of the alimony

present and within hearing distance of the
President was estimated at 10000 but so
difficult was IL to get an adequate idea of
the proportions of the immense conceursp

many hundreds more.
The President spoke on civic righteous

qualities they are which III their sum. make
up the type Of character we like to see in

afraid we do not always see them as well
developed as we would like to. wish to
see in the average American citizen the de-
velopment of the two sets Of qualities
which we can roughly indicate as sweet
ness and strength-the qualities, on the
one hand, which make the man able to hold
his own, and those which, on the other
hand, make him jealous for the rights Of
others just as much as for his own rights.
We must have both sets Of qualities. In
