signed. Just before noon the Red Star
Laundry weakened and signed the
scale, and it's thirty employees returned
to work at 1 o'clock.
Some of the others have signified
their intention of accepting the scale,
and it is believed that by tomorrow
noon every laundry in the city will be
working with union men.

Caliente, in which the passengers in two
cars of the train had narrow escape

length of track Several of the knights
sustained slight cuts and bruises and one,

was averted only by reason of the fact
that the train was running but about

before him at length the needs of the
city in the matter of water supply
and the efforts being made to meet
them. The President is perfectly ia
miliar with the Yosemite National
Park and Long found 1t easy TO ex-
plain the whole situation to him, while
he also found the President a ready

A bill permitting the city to take
water from a reservoir in Yosemite, at
Lake Eleanor and Hetch-Hetchy Val
ley, has reposed in the Public Lands
Committee for a long time. Needham
is a member of that comittee and he is
opposed to the bill on the ground that
the proposed use of the water would
divert it from the valleys of his district,
where his constituents need it for ir-
rigation purposes. Long showed the
President that no injury would follow
to agriculture from the diversion of the
comparatively small flow of water.
while the needs of San Francisco were
paramount and imperative.
The President gave Long a letter to
Commissioner of Forestry Pinchot.
with a request that the latter go into
the situation thoroughly and report to
him. Long will see Pinchot tomorrow.

geant Ellis taking his place. With the
confession of Ellis as a basis, the

geant with bribe taking.
Il began raiding the games as soon

planned christensen yesterday "and
in three weeks they got out a writ of
injunction against me. Resorting to

pay me money for protection when my
handsewere tied by the injunction? /

The Chinese never approached me

those who held it never bothered me.

me as if the writ was raised as soon

II is absolutely without foundation

smirch my reputation.
Il was before the Grand Jury as a
witness, but could tell them nothing
more than the rumors 1 had heard of
the existence of corruption fund in

searchingly into my private affairs.
