Superintendent A, s. Johnson Of the
El Paso division of the G. II. S. A.,
has posted a bulletin in which he says
that certain rules Of the company re-
garding the use of intoyicants is be-
ing loosely carried out. He then ex.
plains that the rule says that an EN-
ploye who uses intoxicating liquors
while on duty or just previous to go
ing on duty, so that his efficiency Is
thereby impaired is liable to instant
dismissal. In the future this rule
must be respected, and in cases where
it is not, the full penalty will be in,
flicted. The action of Superintendent
Johnson is in keeping with rules now
being enforced on all of the principal
roads Of the United States, and is
an important factor in securing and
maintaining the very best service.

NATIVES ROUT
YANKEE DIVERS
Pearl Fishermen of Taumotu
Island Object to Thrift
of Party of Americans

The officers on board the Alameda,
which arrived in this city yesterday,
bring the startling intelligence that the
natives of the island of Taumotu, one
of the smallest of the South Seas
group, have seized the diving appar-
atus brought to their country by a par
ty of enterprising Americans who
aimed to monopolize the oyster pearl
diving industry of that neighborhoOd.
The Americans arrived at the little
island some time ago with an elaborate
diving apparatus and quietly set to
work TO rid the seas of a lot of the
pearl oysters so abundant thereabouts.
The natives did not comprehend at
first what it all meant, but soon they
began to observe that pearl oysters
were getting scarce and they at once
pounced on the foreigners and their
devil machine"
The Americans were routed quickly.
The natives have since kept a sharp
watch and there seems little chance of
the enterpriZing divers encroaching on
We're deriving a profitable income from
their thrift, but it is probably at an
end now.
The divers are cruising about the
South Seas in a little schooner in COM
mand of an old seaman named Max
well, we'll known in that part of the
globe. Maxwell became wroth when
the natives Of the island drove him
away and he at once entered a protest
with the Tahiti Government. AS a re-
suit the gunboat Zelee was sent to the
scene of the trouble and may be heard
from soon.
The natives of the island are deemed
the best pearl divers in the world and
for years they have made a living at
their craft. But when the Americans
appeared on the scene with their pat
ent machine they nearly monopolized
the industry of the natives, who de-
pend almost entirely on pearl diving as
a means of livelihood.

The handsome Church Of st. James,
at the corner of TwentY-third and
Guerrero streets, was the scene of a
beautiful service yesterday in com
memoration of the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the ordination of Rev. P.

organized the church in 1888 and has
been its rector ever since. Previous

scattered and turbulent. They were
seeking gold, not God.
The interior of the church was dec
GRATED. The altar of pure white, COW
cred with flowers and with every wax
taper lighted, formed an imposing
sight. High mass was held and this
gave opportunity for the beautiful
choral and instrumental music. Father
Flynn was the celebrant and his So
nOrous voice echoed TO the vaulted roof.
Several priests from other churches
of the city were in the sanctuary and
many were in the congregation that
filled every pew in the great church.
Rev. Peter c. Yorke delivered a ser
mon and a eulogy of Father Lynch.
dwelling at length on the work and
self-sacrifice of the rector of St. James.
Father Lynch was also the recipient
of mementoS from his many friends.
After the service Father Lynch met
the men OF the parish and gave an
informal luncheon at the parochial
residence. The following priests from
churches in the city and nearby towns
were present:

MORE EVIDENCE
OF AN ATTACK
Sleuth Finds Discharged Re

drew Gallagher Was Shot
BULLET MARKS IN WALL
Police Inclined to Believe
That Union Men Charged
Negroes Near the Stable
BULLET MARKS IN WALL

The detectives working to solve the
motive for the murder of Andrew
Owen Gallagher, the striking stable
man who was killed by James Smith,
a non-union negro employed at the
Excelsior stables on Polk street, have
| uncovered more evidence that tends to
show that Gallagher was one Of the
attacking party.
Detective Thomas Ryan visited the
scene of the shooting yesterday morn
ing. He discovered a revolver in the
gutter of Walnut avenue. Two of its
chambers had been discharged. The
negroes under arrest positively deny
owning the revolver, and the police be-
lieve it is the property of one of the
party of union men involved in the
row.
Another important discovery was
made by Ryan. He found two bullet
marks in the house at the southwest
corner of Polk and Post streets. This
the negro fired the fatal shot, so there
is no question that the bullet holes
were made by one of the party of
union men.
EYE WITNESSES DIFFER.
different stories. In fact, no two relate
the same tale. Some say that but two
shots were fired, but others swear that
five or more explosions were distinctly
heard. The police say there must have
been a dozen shots exchanged.
The union men who were with Cal
lagher at the time he was shot are
keeping under cover. Gallagher's
young wife is Frustrated, and she and

was their sole support and his death
has left them in poverty.
The proprietOrs of the Excelsior sta
bles apparently know nothing about the
shooting. They can give no infOrma-
ton other than that they have heard
that the union men had been threaten
ing to make the non-union hands quit
their places of employment. They say
that Gallagher was a peaceable citizen
and a good workman. No one around
the stables saw him lettering in the
vicinity on the night of the shooting.
MUCH BITTER FEELING.
That there was a great deal of en-
nifty on both sides is admitted. The
police say the non-union employees of
the stables had often threatened to
get the union men should they try
to intimidate them. The strikers. on
the other hand, were alleged to have
made threats against the "scabs.''
Little is known of Smith, Williams
and Williamson, the three negroes un-
der arrest. Smith says he has been in
this city for four years and has fol-
lowed various occupations. The other
two are comparative strangers and the
the police know nothing of their past
They stand by the statements made
last night, and say they were attacked
before the fatal shot was fired.
The inquest over the body of the
dead man will probably be held to-
morrow. Detective Ryan wants to
have it postponed as long as possible
in order that he may collect some evil
dence.

watch and chain from their victim.
Williams arrived in town Saturday
and registered at the Brooklyn Hotel
IN the evening he wandered down to
the Bsrbary Coast. About 1890 he
started for his lodgings. He had
reached the corner mentioned when
two masked men jumped out from a
dark doorway One of them thrust a.
revolver in his face and demanded that
he throw up his hands. Williams. who

sist. He was quickly hit on the head
with a pistol in the hands Of the taller
Of the two robbers. The miner was
ing PROSTATE he was brutally beaten
and kicked.
After ransacking the pockets Of their
victim the thieves left him unconscious
and made their escape. Williams does
not know just how long he lay In
conoatose condition. When he recov-
cred consciousness his assailants were
nowhere IN sight In vain the injured
man attempted TO rise; he was too
weak After lying still for a while
waiting for some pedestrian TO pass,
Williams succeeded in gaining his feet.
he made his way TO the Hall OF Justice
and reported the robbery to Corporal
McGee- Detective. Braig was detailed
on the case, but found no trace of the
thugs.
Williams face and head were badly
cut and bruised-plainly showing evil
dence Of his encounter. He gave the
police a good description Of the foot
pads and says he can identify them.
