STRIKE IS LOST;
MEN SEEK JOBS
MANY WHO WISH TO RETURN
TURNED AWAY
Out of Three Thousand Not More
Than Five Hundred Old Employees
of New York Subway and
Elevated Are Accepted
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Realizing
that their fight against the INTERIOR
ough company has been lost, the old
employees of the subway and elevated
railways today crowded the offices OF
the company, seeking their former po-
sitions. Some 5000 men applied for re-
instatement, but not more than 500
were accepted, the officials claiming to
be satisfied with the men who had
enabled them to break the strike, and
announcing that in future the rules
as to sobriety would be more strictly
adhered to.
All applicants were notified that they
would have to pass the physical ex-
animation and go to work as new men,
which means that those who went on
strike would lose their seniority and
the increased pay that they had won
for length of service. Messrs. Jencks
and Pepper, the strike leaders, ad-
mitted that the strike had been lost
and advised the men to get back their
positions If they could. AS for them
selves, the officers said that they
would not again work for the company.
Mr. Jencks held the press responsible
for the result, contending that the
papers had aroused hostile sentiment.
The strikers bitterly denounce their
leaders, saying that the men were de-
ceived by them.

MRS. LANGTRY's STORY
Speaks Highly of Chinese in Mrs.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PARIS, March lin reference to
the suspicious entertained in regards
to the late Mrs Stanford's Chinese SER
wants, Mrs. Langtry says that one of
them, Wong Mo- is son of a high
class San Francisco merchant, who
placed the boy in her (Mrs. Langtry 81
service when he was Ia years of age,
to learn English He received pocket
money. but no wages. Wong Mo, Mrs.
Langtry says, accompanied her when
she went to France, and learned
French there. He was upright and
honest, though hot tempered. Mrs.
Langtry does not believe he is capable
of such a crime as he is suspected of.
When he was 30 years old he left her
service because he was homesick
When Mrs. Langtry lived next door
to Lord Charles Beresford the latter
dressed up a low-cast Chinese in man
darin's clothes. Wong Mo was .u-
censed at this and told Mrs. Langtry
he hated that Chinaman. Later he
thrashed the coolie.

PUSHING FOR TIE PASS
kuropatkin May Duplicate His Feat
at Lao Yang

Official information from the Russian
headquarters in the field, supplemented
by dispatches from the Associated
Press correspondents with the army of
the Russian empire. show that Gen.
Kuropatkin, after suffering from the
most severe defeat of the war, has sue
ceeded. as he did after the battle Of
Lao Yang, in extricating the remnants
of his army from a position which mill
tary experts twenty-four hours before
believed would result in its annihila-
tion or surrender.
The retreat from Lao Yang has been
considered a most mastery perform
ance, but 1t is far overshad-
owed by this latest feat of the Rus
sian general, who has taken personal
command of the troops. After fighting
for nearly three weeks, losing In
killed, wounded and missing probably
third of his army, or nearly 100000
men, and a fourth of his artillery,
Kuropatkin gathered what was left
together north of Mukden and is taking
them toward Tie pass through rain
of shrapnel which is being thrown
upon them from both right and left.
This he seems to have been able to
accomplish by resorting to the same
tactics which saved his army at Liao
Yang.
Russians Had Full Days Start
AS recently as Thursday last he COM
menced sending his artillery north by
rail and road. That night he destroyed
by fire what he realized could not be
removed. Even the hospitals contain
ing the more seriously wounded were
kContlnued on Page Three.)

SAYS MURDERER
WILL Be FOUND
JUDGE LElBVlCE TALKS ON THE,
STANFORD POISONING
INVESTIGATION TO CONTINUE
Says the Person Who Committed the
Crime ls the One Who Made
Former Attempt In San
Francisco
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-Judge
Franklin Leibvice, president of the
board of trustees and attorney for the
Stanford estate, is convinced that Mrs.
Stanford met her death at the hands
of the same person who is alleged to
have made the attempt on her life in
this city on January 14th. He said
today:
"I am positive that an attempt was
made to kill Mrs. Stanford on January
14th, not only from what Mrs. Stanford
herself told me, but from all the other
evidence which has accumulated. 1
have assurances that the investigation
will be carried to the last point and
UP until the guilty one is found. I
must confess that at present 1 have no
suspicious.
ANY intimations that Mrs. Stanford
was instrumental in taking the poison
herself are absolutely false. 1 know
positively from Mrs. Stanfords letters
and from her conversation that it was
her greatest desire to have the guilty
person caught"
Captain of Detectives Burnett said
today that he would take no decisive
action in the case of Mrs. Stanford un-
til the receipt of a report from the
officers sent to Honolulu to investigate
fully the circumstances connected with
her death.

THE demand of the people for better
gas at fair prices is evident to all and
they are looking to their representa-
tives in the council chamber to do
their duty" declared radical member
of the council yesterday. I'VE are face
to face with great monopoly which
is endeavoring to get it's deadly grip
on the city's throat. 1t is young yet
and we have the power to fight it
and break its hold.
'These principles of the initiative
and referendum and recall the people
of Los Angeles will find are of inestim-
able value to them. The first two have
never been tried as yet, but they are
powerful weapons in the hands of con-
scientious voters BY their aid the
people can grapple with this octopus
council neglect to act. Again. if a
councilman blocks the way to the peo-
pies rights he can be recalled and
another man put in his place.
"Those members Of the present coun-
ell who wish to delay the passing of
this ordinance for various reasons also
appreciate that great storm is brew
ing and that the people will not brook
delay on this question. For that rea-
son 1 believe that when the ordinance
comes before the committee of the
whole on Monday, If 1t is discussed
at public session 1t will be passed."
championed by Herald
Since The Herald championed the
cause of the people and called the at
tention of the public to the fact that
II was in the power of the council to
regulate the price and sale of gas and
other public utilities the various civic
organizations in Los Angeles have
taken up the subject.
The Good Government league appear
ed before the council on last Monday
morning and plainly told the city
fathers that II action ON the gas ordi-
nance was delayed more than two
weeks they would Immediately circulate
petitions throughout the city for a
special election and the initiative and

ANCIENT SHIP FOUND
IN BROOKLYN SUBWAY
Timbers Of the Vessel Are Unearthed
Eighteen Feet Below the
Surface

Special to The Herald.
BROOKLYN, March 11.-Eighteen
feet below the street level diggers Of
the Brooklyn subway have come upon
the hull of an old ship which must
have been where 1t was found for at
least a hundred years.
The workmen first of all came to
what appeared to be black oak
floor. Chopplng through It, they came
to the curved black oak ribs Of a ship.
The ship seems to be lying across
street with much of its length run
ming under the buildings on the south
side of the street. At the time the
foundations of these buildings were
dug, so far as any one can remember,
there was no trace of the old ship.
The oak timbers of the ship are
fastened together with wooden pins
and ships have not been put together
without metal for many long year.
