SANTA FE'S
MACHINISTS
WALK OUT
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SAN BERNARDINO. April 26.-The
long anticipated strike OF the Santa
Fe machinists began here this after
noon, when 125 machinists, specialists
and apprentices laid down their tools
and left the shops. The formal cause
Of the walkout was the discharge of
Machinist c. w. Smith, secretary and
treasurer Of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists. Santa Fe dis
trict No. Al. and who at the present
time is the highest official in the Ma
chinists' Union upon the Santa Fe sys-
tenn.
Smith was discharged at 10 o'clock
this morning. Later a grievance COM
mittee was sent to Division Master Me-
chanic Todd. asking that ne reinstate
Smith. This Todd said he could not
DO, and the strike terminated the issue.
Under cover of darkness last night
sixty-one men were brought into the
local yards and at o'clock this morn
ing put TO work in the machine shops.
The local men made no demonstration
at being obliged to work beside nom
unionists and all went smoothly until
Smith was given his time. When the
walkout came this afternoon twenty
Of the sixty-one imported men went
out. in sympathy with the strikers.
These men state that they came from
Philadelphia. where it was represented
to them that they were TO work at a
new plant owned by the Baldwin Loco
motive Works in Southern California.
They had been at Catalina awaiting
orders for a week past
The .machinists claim that the strike
has been forced upon them. Division
Master Mechanic Todd states that he
discharged Smith because he did not
attend to his work. but spent his time
among the men discussing labor ques-
tions. When the strike will end and
under what conditions il might be set
tied cannot be learned at this early
stage of proceedings. Those who are
Of the opinion that the Santa Fe is
being backed in the present issue by
other roads and who believe that there
can be no doubt that the strike
has been forced upon the men as a
test against the union ships do not
hesitate to predict that the struggle
will be a long one.

I'VE enter the campaign with well
defined issues which have been tried
in the furnace Of experience.
"Our candidate is known everywhere,
trusted everywhere, loved everywhere;
for he is every inch a Republican, every
inch an American. His life has been
served in many capacities and always
with individual allegiance and with
complete success. He is the exponent
OF all that is sound Republicanism; he
stands faithfully by the traditional pol
icies Of the party. We know what he
will do tomorrow because Of what he
did yesterday and to-day"

Speaker Of the House
Does Not Want the
Nomination.
Republican Leaders
Determined to Force
1t Upon Him.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
. WASHINGTON. d. C, April 26.-
Speaker CannOn's boom for Vice Pres
and continued to-day to grow. to the
. dismay and dissatisfaction Of Cannon.
The Republican leaders fatty propose
: 10 nominate Cannon for Vice Presi-
dent, because the Democrats are going
to make a great ee1ort in the coming
campaign TO carry the States Of nli-
nois, New York and Indiana It will
be difficult for the Democrats to win
unless they carry these States, and the
movement to nominate Cannon for
Vice President is to get the fun benefit
OF his popularity in his native State Of
Illinois and in Indiana
.CP-1on sees the, Ret-of party closing
. around him, and ne is "nghting mad"
at Che prospect. He declares he wants
10 be Speaker or nothing, and that he
positively viii not run for the Vice
Pfesidency. Efforts TO soothe him are
being made by Republican leaders, who
repeat the late Senator Hanna's re-
mark that mo man in the United States
is big enough TO decline the Vice
Presidency" and reminded him that
Theodore Roosevelt objected as
strongly as any man could to taking
the nomination in 1900, and yet he was
. put on the ticket, with Mckinley.
Cannon has been asked to be per-
smanent chairman Of the Republican
convention at Chicago. He would like
very much to have that honor. but he
has withheld his consent for the rea-
son that he believes that If he took the
chair a stampede would be started
which would give him the nomination.
He has told Senator Lodge and others
that he viii not give his consent to act
as chairman until the Republican lead
ers can give him an assurance that
some other man has been selected for
Vice President.

OFF
BIG FORCE
Of POLICE

OAKLAND, April 26.-A revolver
battle fought in the dark between a
crazy negro ex-soldier on one side and
\ dozen members Of the Oakland po-
lice force on the other had the lower
portion of Oakland in a state Of
nerve-shattered excitement tonight.
The trouble began at about 10 o'clock,
when the negro, who Is known as
Smith, began to disturb the occupants
of the little lodging-house on Third
street, near Broadway, in which he
lived. The negro had two relics Of his
army days in the shape of two large
navy revolvers, and he started to shoot
up the house in most approved frontier
style.
Policeman Jack Sherry and Special
Policeman Ford heard the shots and
started to arrest the man. AS they
dashed up the steps that lead to the
house, Ford holding a policeman's
night lamp and Sherry with his re-
volver ready for action, they were
greeted with a bullet from one of the
negro's revolvers, which went wide of
its mark Sherry replied with two
shots, and the negro fired three more
shots at the officers, all without effect.
The officers retreated in good order,
and assistance was called for. Police
Captains Wilson and Petersen, De-
tectives Holland and Quigley, Ser
geants Clark and Lynch and half a
dozen patrolmen armed with sawed off
shotguns and Winchester rifles sur
rounded the house. Even the appear
anee of this small army failed to
frighten the negro. who held his
ground and whenever man appeared
in front of the house he fired through
window or door.
The battle ragged intermittently for
two hours, and the residents of the
lower part of Broadway have heard al
most as much shooting tonight as has
occurred in the skirmishes along the

DY MANTLE
IS FOUND
At PULPIT
Special Dispatch to The can.

LOS ANGELES. April 26.-The
Holy Jumpers" narrowly missed a
jump tonight that was not on the
programme at the unique Gospel Mis-
sion," 739 Kohler street. Somebody
placed seven sticks of dynamite under
the pulpit of the church, with the evil
dent intention to blow up church and
Jumpers at the same time. The plan
was defeated by Policeman Roy Allen.
who secured the explosive and took
ii to the station.
The attempt is a elimination of a
drawn-out feud between religious fam
atics and residents of Kohler street.
who have long sought a way to put a
stop to the orgies that have disturbed
the neighborhood
That the scheme was frustrated was
due to information received by the
police. A woman telephoned that the
church was to be blown UP at night,
as she knew that dynamite had been
placed under the building. She re-
fused to give her name. but officer
Allen went under the pulpit. The
sticks were capped and fused ready to
be fired.
Efforts of the police to trace the au-
thor of the attempted outrage have
proved futile. Although the Kohler
streeters have been furious in their
denunciations of these religious contor-
tionists and acrobats. they declare
their adherence of dynamite tactics,
and there Is no reason to believe any
of them can be connected with the
crime. Some of the Kohler street peo-
pie do not hesitate to express the be-
lief that members of the Jumping sect

Former Apostle Testi-
fies in Reed Smoot
Investigation.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON April 2s. = Moses
Thatcher of Utah, before the Smoot in
vestigation committee to-day, contin-
ued to clinch the relationship between
the Mormon church and political af-
fairs in Utah. He went into details of
his differences with high officials of
the Mormon church because they in
sisted upon controlling matters of state
and politics.
Thatcher, in describing the political
manifesto issued on October 6, 1896,
relative to permission to run for office,
to which he did not assent, said that he
was summoned before the high counsel
on charge Of apostasy. When he OBJ
jected to the manifesto it was adopted
as a rule" Within two hours after
the document was handed to him by
Lorenzo Snow and Brigham Young he
was dropped from office. To show how
serious his offense of objecting to the
union of church and state was regarded
by the Mormons, he said he was denied
the privilege of entering the temple, a
right given to all good Mormons.
Had he remained in fellowship with
the apostles he would have become
head of the church. He would have
been elected to the United States Sen
ate if it had not been for the interfer-
ence of the church. He had always
held that, whatever his church obli-
cations, he should be true 10 his coun-
try, and for this he had been punished
by the Mormons. He was glad to say
that he had been deposed as an apostle
because he had been a good American
citizen.
Thateher's testimony made a deep
impression, because it was given with
evident candor and fairness.

The Rev. RACHEL Kelley and his wife,
who are conducting nightly meetings at
the place, and who reside in the rear of
the building, were absent at the time of
the discovery. Kelley said that he was
not one bit surprised, as all kinds of

repeated insults

Rev. John 7, Huddle, pastor of St
PauIs Lutheran Church, preached a ser
mon yesterday from the text is thy
heart right?" saying, in part:
The heart is the holy of holes and the
inner chamber within which is locked all
desires, resolutions and thoughts. 1t is
the pilot house of human existence, and it
is dependent upon that which is carried
aboard as to whether a safe passage be
effected or a shipwreCk end life's voyage
IF the heart is not on the side of right
and In accord with the will of God, and if
ii no longer beats in sympathy and trust
what is the remedy? First, there must be
repentance and sincere sorrow for past
sins. Second, there must be a restitution
as far as possible. making amends for
errors done in the past
In this connection Mr.. Huddle referred
to the thousands of letters received by
people every year from those who have at
some time In their lives done them an in
jury, and should ii be money stolen en-
deavoring to relieve their conscience in
thus returning the conscience money!
and in that way making restitution as far
as in their power lies. The third remedy
is faith. he said, which is the guide and
root of human action. Concluding, Mr.
Huddle said the prayer of every Christian
should be, Lord, give me more faith" for
the greatest agency retarding the advance
of the church today is unbelief.

Rev Luther Hess Waring. AM, preached
yesterday in the Church of the Reforma-
ton, this city, upon the topic, "Christ's Re
buke to the Inquisitive." Mr.. Warning was
formerly a member of the church named,
and was more recently the pastor of a
church in Pennsylvania. but was obliged to
resign because of i'll health.
The sermon yesterday was based on text
taken from the writings of st. John: IF 1
will that he tarry till l come, what is that
to thee. Follow thou me-"
EFT Is this inquisltiveness, said Mr.. War
ing, about things and people that do not
concern US that is too prevalent today. The
sins of omission, resulting from a too dill
gent observance Of the failings of others,
will be one of the chief sources of con-
domination at the great Judgment day. Re-
fuse to listen to rumors and insinuations
that refrain from the light of day. for they
can only be wrong Right works in the
light. Do not let spirit of curious In
quiry, but rather the dominance of honor
and purity of the heart regulate the life.
This spirit of curiosity and investigation
Is Unborn in human nature for 1t was be-
cause OF 1t that our first parents in the
Garden of Eden fell. Inquiry is lauda BILE
only when confined within it's legitimate
bounds"
Concluding, Mr.. Waring asked, What Is
my business?" And again quoting the
words of Christ, he read the answer, Fol
low thou Me- saying that sit is our bust
ness to search our own lives and discover
our own obligations to Christ and man and
live up to them.
