AFTER FEDERAL MECHANICS.
San Francisco Firms Reach Out TO
Mare Island Employees.

VALLEJO. Aug. 16.--The demand for
mechanics in San Francisco has becoms
SO pressing that an endeavor is being
made to secure men from the Mare
Island navy yard, but as the employees
here work only eight hours. while an
additional hour is required in the me-
tropolIs, few have given up their en-
ployment at the Government plant to
go to San Francisco. 1t is said that
the Union Iron Works could use an adj
ditional 1000 iron workers if 1t could
get them.
The news that the Iron Trades Coun-
Gil OF San Francisco is to demand an
eight-nour day is arousing much in
terest here, as the Government has a
hard time in keeping up its working
force to an eff1cient standard.
Another trouble which is proving
very annoying to the navy yard officials
is the lack of apprentices.

As he was opening the gate to his
home in Caldwell, Idaho, last Saturday
evening about G:30 o'clock, Frank
S~teunenberg, former Governor Of the
State, was blown to pieces by the ex-
plosion Of a bomb. The internal
machine had been fixed 50 that the
opening of the gate set it off. Al
though his legs were blown off. the

rage, but it is charged to some member
of the famous timer circle OF the
Occur d'Alene dynamiters, against
whom he acted so vigorously during
the miners riots at that place in 1893
while he was Governor.
When daylight dawned on the scene
of the tragedy it was found that the
dynamite had been exploded by pulling
a wire. Pieces of wire aud waxed fish
line were found in the trees on the
lawn. A portion of the merchunism
was found, including the trigger useC
