GREEKS STONE OVERLAND
Workmen, Frenzied With Grief Be-
cause Comrade Is Killed,
Attack Train
BY Associated Press.

FRESNO, Dec. 20.-The southbound
overland struck handcar mile north
of the San Joaquin river this evening
and John Il. Mortos, a section hand
was killed. SO angry were the men
who were with Mortos that they threw
stones through the car windows.
The four men--Mortos, John Christie
pulos. Peter Caller and Spear Arormor-
tos-had ridden from Herndon, where
they worked, to MADEIRA to cash their
pay checks. They were returning when
they were struck from behind by the
overland. All but Mortos managed to
jump. Mortos was dragged for one
hundred yards, his brains scattered, his
right arm and his legs cut off.
The train stopped and backed to the
scene of the tragedy. The three Greeks
who had jumped to safety were wild
with grief They threw stones and
broke about forty windows. The train
had to pull away in order to save itself
from further damage. The Greeks
would have nothing to do with the
trainmen. Several passengers finally
persuaded them to board the train and
come to Fresno. The body of Mortos
was brought here. His right arm could
not be found.
Christopulos, Caller and Arormortos
are in Jail here, charged with malicious
mischief.

FIRE DESTROYS BIG

HEAVY LOSS
Flames Damage Property at Salt Lake
to Amount Of Nearly a Quarter Of
Million DoIlars-Many Men Are
Thrown Out Of Employment
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SALT LAKE, Dec. 20.-The extensive
repair shops of the Rio Grande Western
were found to be on fire at 1890 to-
night. All the fire apparatus in the
city was called out, but the flames
were beyond control and threatened to
extend to the freight yards.
Although they could not make much
headway against the blaze the firemen
succeeded in confining it to it's original
locality.
The power house and main car shop
burned to the ground, but the great
machine shop, paint shop and other
buildings standing at distance were
unharmed.
The loss is estimated tonight at from
$500 to 100000 and 200 men will be
thrown out of employment. The build
ings themselves were of little value but
the machinery equipment was worth
nearly 100000, and several cars were
destroyed in the shops. The loss is par
ticularly unfortunate at this time as
the equipment had been increased in
order to handle the great amoun. of
extra work which is necessitated by
the work in the Western Pacific. The
fire started in the engine room, and
that is the only information obtainable
tonight.

GREATEST STRUGGLE Is ON

Situation
By Associated Press.

by IASSoclaIcO GrSSS.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 20. 1:20 D,
m.-The calling of general strike has
created the most intense excitement
If 1t can be successfully begun and
maintained the revolutionaries are con-
fident that it will break the govern
ment's back.
In government circles, however, con.
lldence is expressed that the proletarai
organizations cannot effect a complete
tie up and that the strike must be OF
short duration. This hope seems based
ON the theory that the extreme program
of the reds has alenated the sympathy
of a large proportion of the real work
men, and also upon what they claim to
be absolute knowledge that the or
ganizations are without funds.
The governments calculations have
proved at variance with the true situa-
ton in the past and the strike leaders
declare that the government is again
hopelessly ignorant of the magnitude OF

suggested to the finance board what
securities to buy.

companies specializing in securities.
Cornelius Doremus, president of the
Germania Life, said that about one
third of his company's business was
done in Europe, principally in Germany
and that this business in many respects
is better than any done in America
He declared it to be more stable, there
being fewer lapses, while the cost is
a great deal less than in America. The
medical direction is also better in Ger
many. he said. He characterized the
American ways of doing business as
wild methods"
The only contributions of a legislati
