Operators Strike.
[By Associated Press1

munication with the outside world
ceased at 8 o'clock this afternoon,
when a strike was called in the gen.

ever, the management succeeded in
reopening the cable shortly after 6

At o'clock, when the strike went
into operation, many of the Russian
operators were reluctant to leave, but
walking delegate promptly smashed
a bottle of hydrochloric acid on the
floor and the fumes soon drove them
from their keys.
Wild rumors to the effect that the
emperor had been attacked and the
grand duke wounded were in circula-

member of his majesty's encourage at
Tsarkoselo, is enabled to absolutely
deny these rumors.

SAFE TOUCHDOWN

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-C Chicago, 2; Mich
igan. o.
The undisput4d honor of the western
football championship was earned by
Chicago today by the close score of
two points, earned on safety touch
down in the second half by splendid
work of Catlin of Chicago, but also by
the poor judgment of Clark of Michi-
gan in trying to run back punt of
Eckersall, which barely reached Mich
igan's goal line. He was thrown across
the line by Catlin, after he had thrown
off two Chicago tacklers, and two
points on safety touchdown were re-
corded for Chicago, the only scoring
done in the game.
The game was devoid of spectacular
features. Brilliant open field play by
Chicago and hard, grinding, man kill
ingfline work by Michigan was expec-
ted by the 10000 spectators that sur
rounded the gridiron ON Marshall field.
But the contrary was the case. Trick
plays almost invariably were unsuc-
cessful. Eckersall, whose remarkable
powers were expected to at least score
for Chicago had only one drop kick
and this was unsuccessful.
Michigan's concerted offense when
hurled against the Chicago line failed
to produce expected results and the
fight for the honor of the western foot
ball championship early resolved itself
into punting game between Ecker
sail of Chicago and Garrells of Michi-
gan, but with this unexpected differ
ence. Michigan failed utterly to gain
consistently against Chicago defense,
while Chicago, whose line has yielded
to the attacks of nearly every team
that had played Chicago this season,
not only held against the heavy line
plays of Michigan, but gained much

straight football. Part of this was
due to the disqualification for slugging
in the first half of Curtis, the star
tackle of Michigan, for Eckersall,
quick to observe the consequent weak
ness in Michigan's defense, instructed
the majority of the Maroons' line plays
against Patrick, who took Curtis
place. Outside of all this, however, Chi
cago plainly outplayed Michigan and
the maize and blue for the first time in
five years was defeated.
The ball was in the air a great deal
of the time. Frequently both Chicago
and Michigan punted on the down,
although this was resorted to more fire.
quently by Michigan than by Chicago,
and in this punting duel Garrels did
the kicking for Michigan and had none
the worst of it. His punts averaged
fully as many yards as the long spirals
of the brilliant Chicago quarterback
and were high enough to allow the
Michigan ends to get down the fiel l.
But Chicago made more distance OH

Patriotic and Loyal Citizens.
IF the people Of the United States
glory in their free institutions as the
crown of mans aspiration for self-gov-
ernment, let them not be unmindful
OF the fact that the Jews among us
have in their care and keeping the his
tory and traditions of an ancient Jew
ish commonwealth astonishingly like
our own republic in its democracy and
underlying intention. This ancient
commonwealth was ordained Of God
for the government of his chosen peo-
Pile; and we should not close our
minds to conception of the coin
cidence in divine purpose, discoverab1e
in the bestowal of similar plan Of
rule, after thousands of years, upon
the people of the United Sta les, who
also had their beginning in willing SUBJ
mission to Gods sovereignty and the
assertion of freedom in his worship.
When with true American enthusiasm
and pride we recall the story of the
war for our independence and rejoice
in the indomitable courage and
fortitude of our revolutionary heroes,
we should not fail to remember how
well the Jews of America performed
their part in the struggle and how in
every way they usefully and patriot
ically supported the interests of their
newly found home. Nor can we over
look, if we are decently just, the valua-
bic aid cheerfully contributed by our
Jewish fellow countrymen in every
national emergency that has since
overtaken us. They gave convincing
evidence of their assimilation with
the best sentiment ofAmerican patriot
ism by heartily joining in the popular
acclaim that met the selection of
Washington as the first president of
our new republic. In support of this
statement it certainly cannot be amiss
to quote the following passages from a
letter addressed to General Washing
ton after his election to the presidency,
by the Hebrew congregation in New
port, Rhode Island:
Deprived as we hitherto have been
of the inalienable rights of free citi-

but generously affording to all liberty
of conscience and immunities of cit;-

nation, tongue and language equal
parts of the great government machine.
This so ample and extensive feder-
al union, whose base is philanthropy,
mutual confidence and public virtue,
we cannot but acknowledge to be the
work of the great Cod who rules in
the armies of the heavens, and among
the inhabitnts of the earth, doing

on the hearty participation of our Jew

VALLEJO, March 14-The plans Of
the Russian Government to have the
Russian cruiser Lena, which has been
lying at the Mare Island navy yard for
many months, repaired at the Union
Iron Works. San Francisco, have been
abandoned, as President Roosevelt
would not give the desired permission
The work will be done at Mare Island
by the regular yard employees. This
news leaked out this evening and has
caused a great deal of comment here
and among the naval officers attached
to the yard.
The boilers of the Lena are to be
retubed, and the pumps repaired and
there is great deal of other work. Two
months time will be required to COM
plete the repairs. A survey of the ship
has already been made and it is ex-
pected that the work will be COM
menced at once and not at the end OF
the war as was first thought.
1t is believed here that the breaking
of their paroles by several Of the Of
ficers of the Lena has led the Presi-
dent TO adopt this course II being the
opinion of the Washington authorities
that 1T would be a risky and expensive
task to guard the several hundred men
who comprise the cruisers crew at the

MARYSVILLE, March 14.-Coroner
Kelly Will hold an inquest tomorrow
to determine the cause OF the death of
Mrs. Joseph Nance, whose body was
found among the ashes of her home
Monday morning. While the belief is
general that the woman was murdered
by her husband and that Nance set fire
to the house to hide his crime, there
is no absolute evidence to prove that
he committed the crime.
One witness has been found who
claims to have heard shots from the
direction OF the Nance residence be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock Sum
day night. Others are willing to testify
that they have heard Nance make
threats TO burn his wife to death. Mrs.
Petris. a sister Of Mrs. Nance, says
Nance came 10 her house about eleven
o'clock Sunday night and asked for
matches, which were given him. The
next morning she says he appeared
from beneath the Petrie house, where
he had been asleep. Nance. 1t is said,
drove the Petrie children away from
his home Sunday evening when they
went there TO visit their aunt.

Interest In the Kiniry murder trial
centered this afternoon on a scene en-
acted By the mothers of the two youths
who are charged with being responsible
for the death of Policeman James
Hume Smith. whom they shot when
he placed them under arrest on sus-
picion of their being burglars. For the
first time since the beginning Of the
of Kiniry, took her seat this afternoon
beside her son. now on trial for his
life. 1t chanced that Mrs. Kate Grein-
er Of Los Angeles, the mother of Joe
Goldstein, Kiniry's pal, who was shot
and killed by the policeman, was called
as witness, and the two women faced
each other, but a few feet separating
them.
The women stared at each other and
during her testimony Mrs. Greiner said.
pointing her finger at Kiniry, He is
responsible for the death of my son.
He led him astray and 1 ordered him
never to visit my house any more. >
The witness related the circumstance
of her visiting Kiniry in the Los An
geles jail. and said, Il asked him why
he had shot the policeman and caused
my boy TO be killed. and he never
looked at me-" In the recital of her
story the witness became very much
agitated and broke down and cried and
for some time was unable to go on
with her testimony.
Mrs. Watson, Kiniry's mother, sat
rigid and resolute and held herself un-
der control while she heard her son ac-
cused before the jurors having his life
in their hands. She is a pronounced
blonde and under other circumstances
would be pleasant looking. She was
dressed in black to-day and wore a
thin black veil Those who sat close
to her say they heard her sigh and
that she did not trust herself to look
to the right nor left during the entire
ordeal.
Mrs. Greiner said her son and Kiniry
had associated together a great deal
while at Los Angeles and that she al
ways thought Kiniry's influence was
bad When her son left her she laid
il at Kinirys door and when he was
killed her fears were only proved to
have been too we'll grounded.
Mrs. Watson has not seen her son
in some years. He began to work for
himself when he was IL years Of age
and she married second time and
went with her husband to Ohio, while
the boy was left in San Francisco
where he entered upon a career OF
crime.
Captain J. H. Bradish, Detective Paul
z. Flammer and Policeman John S.
Hendrickson of Los Angeles told their
stories of the capture of Kiniry there
and were excused. and with Mrs. Grein-
