Elmer Owens. a thirteen-year-old boy
residing at 500 Hoover street, proved
himself hero by plunging off the
Venice wharf yesterday to rescue
eight-year-o John Goodrich of Ocean
Park.
Young Goodrich was playing near the
end of the wharf at Windward avenue
and fell into the water. He made nc
outcry, but attempted to swim tc
shore. The distance, however, was toe
great and he became exhausted. FL
mer Owens realized the danger and
without moments hesitation, jumped
to the rescue. zf =
Burdened with his clothes, Owens
could make but little headway with
his exhausted companion and when in
the breakers was forced TO call for aid
Harry Atkins, fourteen years old, went
to Owens assistance and the three
reached shallow water in safety.
Goodrich was removed to his home in
Ocean Park, but after resting few
moments from their battle with the
surf Elmer Owens and Harry Atkins
went on with their play as though
nothing unusual had happened.

| ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. with the
telegraphers almost to man remain
ing loyal to their union chiefs, and the
railway officials making every effort to
maintain traffic, the telegraphers' strike
onfthe Transcontinental systems of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads has taken on the aspect of war
to- the finish.
Hundreds of men have gone out on
both lines necessitating the closing of
scores of stations and immense hind
rance has been caused in the moving
of trains.
Through passenger trains and time
freights, by great effort. have been kept
on, almost schedule time but attempts
have principally been abandoned to
maintain local freight and passenger
service.
The greatest interference in schedules
has been on the Idaho division, some of
the fast trains being delayed five hours,
where the striking operators had turned
the signal boards or opened the cir
cults.
| Freight matter in less than carload
lots for intermediate points was re-
fused at the freight offices in st. Paul
and Minneapolis during the day. Large
quantities of perishable freight were
handled by the express companies, but
toward evening guarantees of delivery
were refused.
The railway officials say tonight that
they are we'll satisfied with the situa-
ton and that in ten days will have
enough men to fill the places of the
strikers.
No accidents have occurred so far.
Rumors were circulated that there
had been one or two collisions at points
in North Dakota, but these are denied
by the railway officials.
President Perham of the Telegraph
ers declares that 81 per cent Of the
union members are out and that they
will stay out until they receive what
the union officials have decided will be
a square deal
Mr.. Perham says that 80 per cent of
the men are both station agents and
telegraphers and where these went out
the stations are closed in almost every
instance. He states that a number of
train dispatchers. while not nembers
of the union, went out in sympathy.

CITY, THROWN INTO DARKNESS
BY Associated Press.


SAN JUAN P. r., Aug. 2.--As an
outcome of the longshoremen's strike
for an increase Of wages to 25 cents an
hour, which has been in progress for
a month, the greater portion of san
Juan was under control of mob be-
tween 7 and 9 o'clock last night. The
mob, of which there were about 1000
armed persons, dug up paving blocks
and stones, and with these and other
missiles rushed through the streets
fighting the police who were armed with
rifles, and fired scores of shots, but
mostly in the air. One person was
killed and there are forty injured in
the hospitals, three or four of whom
may die.
At 8 o'clock, while the main police
force was engaged with the rioters,
another mob, principally composed OF
young men and boys, threw stones at
the arc lights in the main streets, with
the result that nearly the entire city
was in toal darkness all night.
At 9 o'clock the mob sought refuge in
a disreputable district in which there
we're no police This district, however,
was subsequently surrounded by police
and mounted squads patrolled the city
for the remainder of the night. AT
midnight the police, who numbered only
100, had the situation under control.
Reinforcements are expected today.
The rioting was preceded by inter-
mittent disturbances, which, however,
were not serious.
At noon the city was quiet and the
police, it is believed, will be able to
cope with the situation. Carbineers
we're on the roofs commanding the
streets in the disreputable districts.
Governor Winthrop said; Il am go
ing to have order in San Juan. If the
police should prove insufficient pro-
pose to call for soldiers and marines.

ROsLYN, L. l., Aug. 2.-Mrs. Clar-
ence M. Mackay was elected school
trustee of Roslyn today. Her running
mate, John F. Remsen, beat her one
vote. Her victory was not quite un-
qualified. Dr. P. N. Legs, the third
candidate in the two-out-of-three elec-
ton, was nowhere.
The victory is not without an after
math, for Dr. John Bogart, president
Of the board Of education, and manager
Of DR.. Leys' campaign, has disputed the
election. The final vote was Remsen
254; Mackay, 253; Legs, S3.
DR.. Bogart lodged a protest on two
accounts. In the first place Mrs. Mac
kay has been called Katherine Mac
kay on Leys' ballots, while on the
Remsen- -Mackay ballots she was MRS
Clarance Mackay"
"These may be one and the same per-
son." he said, "but we have no means
Of knowing that"
In the second place the Legs ballots
had shown distinctly the legal title oi
the office, while the ballots of the op-
position were headed only For school
trustee" ~
There are other clauses In protest
but these were the main ones. The
Judges promised to take the matter un-
der consideration and report at the

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, with M. Sergius
Witte, the senior Russian peace envoy,
arrived in quarantine this afternoon
M. Witte was in good health. The ship
had a good passage, the sea being
smooth except on Sunday and Monday,
when 1t was little rough. On ship
board M. Witte was generally reticent
when the subject of his mission was
mentioned.
To an Associated Press correspon-
dent, however, who accompanied him
from Cherbourg. M. Witte said: THE
Russians have had reverses but this
does not signify that they have lost
the power which was known to the
Muscovite before the war, nor does 1t
mean that Russia has become a neg
ligible quality, nor that the Japanese
victories, such supremacy as to make
the Russian empire consider them
truly redoubtable enemy"
M. Witte recognizes the good qualities
of the Japanese military and naval adj
ministrative organization, and does not
believe any other European nation
would have been able to resist Japan
as Russia has. 1t could not be DONE
Japan Prepared for War
'It must be taken into consideration"
said M. Witte, that the Japanese had
been preparing for the war about ten
years, while Russia was entirely un-
prepared wishing for and trusting in
peace. The Japanese fought in their
own neighborhood under all favorable
conditions, while Russians had to be
sent nine thousand versts from their
