system of the Southern Pacific lines to-
day show that the lines are experience
ing little difficulty in operating trains

tive firemen on the Houston division
of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San
Antonio line. Fourteen freight trains
out of sixteen scheduled were han

H E. Willis, assistant grand chief of

the giving out of a statement by Jo-
seph Bedford. chairman of the griev-
ance committee of the fremen. Bed
ford in his statement says that the
firemen are confident of winning the
fight and that they have assurances
of the support of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen, the Order of Rail-
way Conductors and the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers." These orders are
in full sympathy, the statement de-
clares, with the firemen.
Beyond the fact that we leave their
sense of justice to guide the engineers
action, we have nothing to say about
them," the statement says.
The statement declares that the fire.

Trainmaster Wade of the Ell Paso
division stated tonight that the pas
senger trains were moving on time
and that the freight trains were going
out as fast as they were made up.
Speaking of the statement issued by
Bedford, Wade said that there was no
foundation for the allegation that the
fremen had sought arbitration. He
said that, on the contrary, they had re-
fused the company's offer to arbitrate
the matter.

VATICAN CENsUREs
MINISTER P|CH0N
French Statesman Accused
of Untruths Concerning
Expulsion of Montagnini
IRELAND CRITICISED

ROME, Dec. 26.-Despite the denials
of the French Government that it has
made any reply regarding the vati-
cans protest to the powers on the sub
ject of the expulsion from France of
Monsignor Montagnini. until recently
secretary of the papal nunciature at
Paris, the Vatican has been positively
Foreign Affairs for France. has made
verbal statements in answer to this
protest to several diplomatic repre-
the Minister'S communication to their
respective governments.
According to the Vatican's authority,
M. Pichon said that Monsignor Mon
tagnini had no diplomatic standing;
that the papers sequestered at the nun
ciature were unimportant: that i'm
portant documents had been removed
previously, and that as the French
Government had not allowed the papal
nuncio to correspond with the French
Bishops the Government could not
permit Monsignor Montagn to do So.
The Vatican now declares with au-
thority that the statement that docu-
ments were removed from the nun
ciature before the building was
searched was unfounded and calculated
to deceive, and AYERS that the state
ment in question did not emanate from
the Vatican, but from the French Gov
ernment.
The local press has published the
summary which appeared in the Paris
Matin of the statement issued by Arch
bishop Ireland of st. Paul on the Fran
co-Vatican conflict. This summary has
not found favor with the Vatican au-
thorities, as it blames the French
clergy, who are praised by the Pope.
The Osservatore Romano says the
summary should be accepted with re-
serve as coming from an infected
source, and explains that the corre-
spondent of the Matin in New York
may have misunderstood the Arch
bishop.

Sweet Little Cherub
Too Swift for
Pugilist

Jimmy Britt is not to meet Fitzgerald
this week, for the probable reason that
he will be waiting at the church about
the time he would be expected to weigh
in. 1t is to Miss Neva Aymar whom
Britt will meet instead. perhaps-for
prizefghting is vulgar game at best
and matrimony is the only avocation a
gentleman should follow. Instead of
going into training quarters Jimmy
goes to the theater, where Miss Aymar
particularly delights at least one per-
son in all the audience. What is the
prize rings loss the wedding ring may
encompass.
On Christmas James and his fancee
spent the holiday together and the
erstwhile dealer in wallops and left
hooks carved a dainty little turkey for
two at Van Ness avenue rotisserie. In
his spare time Britt is negotiating for
an automobile which will run for two
weeks honeymoon without requiring
the obtrusive services of professional
chauffeur. James Coffroth and Cocky
O'Brien at the Willis Cafe--the place
that made Jimmy's brother famous-sit
together as lonely companions because
Jimmy is not there. They weep be-
cause the prize ring has lost such a
clever man with the mitts
WILLIS APPROVES
Brother Willis is somewhere in Mon
terey County-at Del Monte or that lit
tie Portuguese hotel in West Watson
ville-but since he has learned that
brother James Is to wed he is Fastening
back to the city with all speed and ex-
poets to arrive some time next year to at
tend the wedding. Willis met Miss
Aymar when he was in the East with
Jimmy to match Terry McGovern.
Jimmy will need Willis advice on
whether he should travel with the
show with which Miss Aymar is con-
nected or whether she should forsake
the footlights for Fillmore street flats.
Spider" Kelley is the only one in
the city who does not know just where
he stands on Miss Aymar's great match.
II have been behind Jimmy in every
contest he has had" said the lithesome
second last evening, "and / don't think
he will t'row me down in this match
But there was a plaintive note in the
Spiders" voice.
: And the ushers at the theater are
handing costly floral tributes to Miss
Aymar every night. They all bear the
label 81. E. B."

DIVORCE ASKED BY

few years ago In the tragic death of
Albert StetsOn, who was a brother of
Mrs. Winslow, when he took his life
under most distressing circumstances
Sallie Stetson was married to Wins
low on February 7. 1889, and the we'd
ding was celebrated by ceremony
which will be remembered for the
grandeur with which it was carried
out. Two children were born to the
Winslows, Ruth Louise and Anna Marie
Louise. who are now twelve and seven
years old respectively.
One of the causes for the break in
the happiness of the home is said to
have been Mrs. Winslow's temper
which led her to acts of violence to-
ward her husband At the time he fin
ally left her and went to Portland she
followed him, much to his surprise, and
an angry scene was enacted in one of
the hotels of that city. which was the
talk of Portland society for many
weeks.
After that Mrs. Winslow was anxious
to effect a reconciliation, but all her
advances were coldly received. Wins
low preferred life In the northern city
and would not alter his determination
at the pleading of his wife.
Mrs. Winslow has been active in
many social affairs during the last two

become permanent without legal ac-

work of the Red Cross subsequent to

that Winslow has not contributed to

mony sufficient for the support of her

to the controlling interest in the firm

ROOT SAID To Be
JAPAN 5 FRIEND
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

CHICAGO, Dec 26.-The Record
Herald ST. Petersburg dispatch says:
Professor Maxim Kovalevsky, speak
ing of the situation in the Far East,
said this morning:
II can affirm positively that the
United States is the only power that
is supporting the Japanese in their
demands against US. I know that the
general feeling in America is against
Japan, so how can Mr.. Roots attitude
be explained unless he desires to re-
tain Japan's friendship until the
American army and navy can be re-
organized or until the Americans can
penetrate beyond the Bering Straits"
This supposition is based upon the
fact that since Alaska proved to be
profitable investment Americans have
made repeated attempts to obtain
grants from Russia in the Bering and
White Sea districts. My explanation is
only an hypothesis. but Mr.. Roots
support of the Japanese is a fact of
which the American people must have
knowledge upon which they must pass
judgment"

continued and shall be subject to the
penalty imposed by section for each
and every such separate offense.
1t would be a difficult task to calcu-
late the number of days during which
the illegal curves have been main
tanned, as some of them have been in
existence for years. The entire section
fixing the penalty is as follows:
PENALTIES ARE MANY
ANY person. firm or corporation who
shall violate any of the provisions of
this ordinance shall be guilty of
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by fine OF
not to exceed $500 or by Imprisonment
in the County Jail for not more than
six months, or by both such fine and
Imprisonment; and such person, firm
or corporation shall be guilty of a sep
arate offense for every day that such
violation shall continue and shall be
subject to the penalty imposed by this
section for each and every such sep
arate offense.'
Duffey has instructed Attorney
James A Devote to furnish him with
an opinion as to the full authority of
the board to compel the United Rail-
roads to relay its curves in compliance
with the ordinance While Duffey con-
siders that the corporation has acted
wrongfully, he desires, however to ac-
quaint himself thoroughly with the
legal aspect of the case before taking
radical action against the corporation.
Our attorney furnished us recently
with an opinion that the United Rail-
roads could build curves to connect its
lines under the terms of its franchises
without securing formal permit" said
Duffey last night. Now the question
to be determined is what department
of the city government shall enforce
the ordinance requiring tracks to be
eleven feet away from the sidewalk
curb. It may be that it IL the duty of
the Police Department to stop such ille-
gal construction. If the Board of
Works is clothed with the power, then
intend to find out where the rails are
laid i'm violation of law and take steps
to cause them to be torn up.
MUST COMPLY WITH LAW
s.In some cases it might be Impossible
to compel a strict compliance with the
law, but 1 believe we should hold down
the United Railroads to as near the
eleven feet limit as 1t is physically
possible to do. ] consider 1t shame
that a track should be only two feet
and ten inches away from the curb, as
is the case at Hayes and Stanyan
streets, and the corporation should be
taught that it cannot override the law
with impunity."
If Duffey should receive Devoto's
opinion today that the Works Board
is authorized to act in the matter, Duff
fey will at once make personal in
spectfon with a view to locating all
places where the curves are laid ille-
gally. He will then notify the COM
pany to tear up and relay the tracks
in accordance with law.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does a head line SINH
lar to the above greet US in the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients Of
which DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery Is made are recommended by some
of the leading writer's on MdtertG MedicG
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, Is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENsAToRy, a stand

creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system I'm general,
and as the heart is almost wholly COM
posed of muscular tissue, 1t naturally
follows that IL must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient
as its marvellous cures Of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-
cerned, Is Stone root, or COtlists0ntd Cam,
