In 1870. the agetation for shorter

Labor unions have raised the
standard Of living of workers.
They have secured the Chinese
Exclusion Act and kept undersira-
bic labor from forcing down the
standard of living. They have
put strikes OH a legal and recog-
nized basis. 1t. is said that striker

defense and independence must be
justified on grounds Of justice and
morality.
Labor unions have abolished
the bondage of childhood and wo-
manhood. Once children and wo-
men were in competition with faith
ers in factories. Childhood and
womanhood were incarcerated in
shops by the rude hand of capital
without a ray Of hope, but organ

else, this alone would Justify its

"But, fellow citizens, much as

Child labor must be totally abolish

adjustment Of disputes between
capital and labor must be establish
ed. immigration laws must be

capital and capital cannot
be used effectively without labor.

v WIRELESS PLANT
ON FARALLONES
Force of Men From Navy
Yard Goes to the Islands to
Select Site for a Station
CARRY A FULL OUTFIT
Move Believed to Be Pre-
liminary to Extension of
the System to Honolulu
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VALLEJO, Dec. "a force Of men
under Master Electrician George
Hanscom left Mare Island to-day for
the Farallon Islands, where a ire
less telegraph plant will be established.
The work viii be performed by the
yard workmen.
1t is expected that wireless connec-
ton between the Farallones, Yerba
Buena and Mare Island will be estab-
lished within a few days. The men
have taken with them a complete
camping outfit and provisions and will
remain at the Farallones until the
work is completed. AS soon as con-
nection is made the battleship Ohio
will test the apparatus.
This is believed to be the Govern
ment's first move toward the extern
sion of the wireless system to Homo
lulu. In the event that the present
plans are carried out the Farallones
station will be made the head coast
station. This is evidenced by the fact
that plans for permanent buildings and
necessary adjuncts are already under
way.

AW AIT ACTION
OF GRAND JURY
Indictment of Young Weber
on Charge of Robbing the
Bank Is Expected To-Day
DEFENSE HIRES SLEUTH
Detective, It Is Believed,
Has Been Retained to I'M
peach Witnesses of State
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUBURN, Dec. 9.-The Grand Jury
has not as yet returned an indictment
charging Adolph Weber with robbing
the Placer County Bank. 1t is believed,
however that the true bill will be forth
coming tomorrow. That Weber has
not been indicted on the robbery charge
before this is due to the erroneous ad-
vice given the jury by District Attor-
ney Robinson. This advice was to the
effect that the jury, having indicted
Weber on one charge, could not indlct
him on another, advice due to Robin
sons wrong Interpretation Of the law,
declaring that man could not be In
dicted twice for the same offense.
Next Monday Judge Prewett will set
the time for the trial of young Weber
on the charge of numbering his mother.
1t is believed here that the defense
has secured the services Of a detective
to impeach the testimony Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution. This belief
is due to the presence in Auburn of a
stranger giving the name of Green, who
has during the last few days kept him
self busy interviewing those who testi-
fed at the preliminary hearing of
Weber and the Coroner's inquest.

ARTISTS CHILD
FATALLY BURNED
Three Year-Old Daughter of
Charles ROllo Peters Meets
With a Frightful Death
CLOTHING TAKES FIRE
Accident Occurs While Little
One Is Playing in Room of
Her Fathers Bungalow
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MONTEREY, Dec. 9.-The old town
of Monterey was shocked this morning
at the death by fire of beautiful little
Kathleen Peters, daughter Of Charles
Rollo Peters. the painter.
From what can be learned the little
one, with her elder sister and her
twin brother, had been playing in the
living room of the bungalow, in which
a CRATE fire was burning During their
play the sister and brother left the
room, leaving little Kathleen alone.
Soon screams were heard and the lit
tie one enveloped in sheets of flame
rushed into the garden. An employe
ran to her, tore her clothing from her
body and smothered the blaze But
help came too late. The flames had
burnt their way into her tender little
body, and death mercifully released her
from her suffering.
At the death of Mrs. Peters, for whom
the unhappy babe was named, she left
tiny twins; and 1t was for these wee
life
Immediately after the loss of his
beautiful wife the artist secured the
services Of a trustworthy woman of
Monterey, and confided to her the care
of his motherless babes.
A sad feature Of the affair is that
the bereaved father had all but con-
cluded negotiations for the sale of the
hacienda, intending to leave California
for Broadstair, near London, the home
of Whistler and other famous painters,
and there to settle with his interesting
little brood.

STRICTER LAWS
FOR RAILROADS

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-President
Roosevelt is standing squarely on his
message in reference to the fixing of
railway rates by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and he desires that
action be taken by Congress at this
session. Many Senators and Repre-
sentatives called on him to-day to
learn his views, and he told them
very frankly that he thought some
thing should be done in the way of
enlarging the powers of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to reme-
dy this evil, and that it should be done
Immediately.
The Senators, who have determined
that nothing shall be done until the
beginning of the next Congress. have
accepted the situation, and a contest
between the White House and the Sem
ate on the great question Of railway
rates and increased powers for the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
now fairly on.
In addition to making ii known that
he Is In earnest for some action at the
present session of Congress, the Pres
ident has taken care to tell his callers
that his recommendation was not
made at the instance of Governors
Cummins of Iowa, La Toilette Of Wis
cOnSin and Van SAINT of Minnesota.
When Governor Cummins and Cover
nor Van SAINT called at the White
House two weeks ago the railway part
of the Presidents message was al
ready in type. Not a word was
changed as a result of that conference.
THE President is undoubtedly in
favor of doing something at this
session." said a Republican member of
the Senate Commission on Interstate
Commerce to-day. but whether that
something means the full limit of
which he spoke in his message, 1 am
in some doubt At least, it does not
look highly probable now"
1t is believed at the Capitol that the
Senate leaders stand as a stone wall
against any action along the line OF
the message. The determination in the
Senate is to prevent it If possible, but
if the full power Of the administration
is used the alternative is to bring for
ward a compromise proposition.

VIII Prosecute Weber.

In response to the requests of Gov
ernor Pardee, backed by the Board of
Supervisors of Placer County and
many prominent people from all over
the State, Attorney General Webb has
determined to take personal charge of
the prosecution in the Weber muir
der case at Auburn. District Attor-
ney Robinson of Auburn will be as
sociated with the Attorney General. 1t
is said that young Weber has arranged
to employ several of the best criminal
lawyers of the State in his behalf and
the battle before the Placer County
Superior Court will be a hard one.
General Webb says there will be no
friction between himself and Robin
son.
