WASH was the unfortunate student to
suffer the worst effects of the deadly
hydrogen sulphide gas.
The students in their test work are
obliged to use a great deal of poisonous

was a simple operation, as the room

against an accumulation of the poison

PICTURE Of CHECK
IN EVIDENCE

NEW YORK, Dec. AT the trial to-
day in the Supreme Court of George
Burnham Jr, a vice president of and
counsel for the Mutual Reserve Life
Insurance Company, on charge of
larceny, a photograph of check for
10000 was produced by the prosecu-
ton in the examination of the defend
ant concerning a demand of 100000
alleged to have been made upon the
Mutual Reserve for the suppression of
an unfavorable report when Louis F.
Payn was New York State superintend-
ent of insurance.
The check was drawn on the Butch
by Timothy Donovan, made payable to
James Y. Watkins as trustee and by
him made payable to Charles P. and w.
w. Buckley, attorneys. who in turn in
dorsed over to~sLouis Payn or order.
Subsequently it was Endorsed by Louis
Payn to the credit of the United Ex-
press Company. Burnham said he
recognized the photograph as a repro
duction of one of two cancelled checks
which the late George D. Patterson, a
clerk of the Firemen's Benevolent
Fund, had given him for safe keeping
and which, he said, he had returned to
Patterson later.
The defendants cross examination
was completed today and George d.
Eldridge. vice president. actuary and
chairman of the executive committee
of the Mutual Reserve, who is also
under Indictment, took the stand. He
had not concluded his testimony when

FAST MAIL COULD
BE RESTORED

CHICAGO. Dee. III. P. ThraII. SUI
perintendent OF mail service on the
Southern Pacific system, when asked
today regarding the abandonment OF
the fast mail train out OF Oakland.
made the statement that the arrange
ment was only temporary. In explana-
tion. ThralI said that conditions since
the great fire had changed so that IL
was almost an fmpossibility for the San
Francisco merchants and business men
to get their mail ready in time to catch
the fast mail. and the congested condf-
tion OF the road on account Of the enor-
nous amount OF westbound freight had
made II an almost utter impossibiIity to
run the train on schedule time
Just as soon as the situation bright
ems up and the business warrants n we
will resume the fast train" said Thrau-
When the train was taken of tenn
porarily we were carrying very little
mail on IL. 1t was being run at an ex-
penditure that was not justified by
the returns.
Another reason was that the road
was congested to such an extent thar
we could not maintain the fast sched-
ule. Just as soon as the mail can be
collected and delivered to us in tfna
to catch the fast train, il will be put
back, but that all depends on the con
ditions existing at San Francisco"

WILL RETURN RENT
To REFUGEES

All the rental money paid to the
Relief Corporation by refugees for
their houses will be put into a sinking
fund and applied toward the purchase
of lots on which to move the houses
when they are taken from the parks
next July, according to plans being
khhde by the relief executive committee.
This project was decided upon at a
Inference at relief headquarters yes
tee and a committee representing the
United Refugees of San Francisco.
The aggregate amount of rent paid
for each refugee cottage up to next
July will amount to a considerable
sum when the houses are turned over
to the people who occupy them. This
money will cover the initial payment
for the lots to be bought on the in
stallment plan. The housing committee
Of the Relief Corporation is negotiating
with land owners in suburban dis
tricts for lots for refugees who can
pay partly for their homes. In such
cases the Relief Corporation will pay
half the cost of each house and the
owner will pay the other half and the
cost of the lot at the rate of from $12
TO $50 month.
1t was decided by the executive com
mittee to ask the National Red
Cross. which is required by Congress
to audit the expenditure of all the re-
cisco accounts in this city in the future
instead of in Washington, D. c., as has
been the custom in the past.
The monthly budget for December,
which has been prepared to be sent
to the National Red Cross, consists of
$527,SS0 for relief work and $23,14O
for expenses.

CHICAGO, Dec. THE cross examin-

"slugger" and paymaster of Cornelius
P. Shea's picket forces during the
Transfers strike year ago, was con-
cluded late this afternoon after Kelly
had testified that he had served as a
picket from the inception of the strike
and had been paid SO a week as long
as the strike lasted. Michael Murphy,
who pleaded guilty with Kelly and
w. C. Young. former president of the
Brotherhood of Team
sters, were the next witnesses called
Murphy gave testimony similar to
Young and Kelly, but recited more in
stances of smuggling. According to Muir
phys evidence, he and his companions
principal work was to bring about
blockades and to prevent wagons
driven by non-union teamsters from
reaching strikebound houses. Murphy
declared that the picket crew of which
he was the leader did great deal of
smuggling during the strike.
Pull them off, and if you can't do
that, knock them off" said Murphy,
were the orders we had in dealing
with the ike-breakers. and we car
ried out the orders to the best of our
ability"

ONE TELEGRAP HER
CAUSES STRIKE

A strike which may lead to a general
walkout of all telegraph operators in
the employ of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in this city occurred
late last night at the Ferry office of the
Western Union. At IL o'clock every
operator in the office refused to work
longer, and left the Office because three
of their number had been discharged in
rapid succession for refusing to receive
MESA ges from an Oakland operator.
Operator Wren was the first to get
into trouble. He was receiving mes
sages from an Oakland operator who,
the strikers say, is unskilled in his
work, and at last refused to work with
him any longer. He notified Night
Chief Operator r. w. Gillett at the Oak
land office that he would take no more
messages unless another operator was
put at the other end of the wire, and
Gillett answered by discharging him.
Operator Lee was ordered to take the
wire, but refused, and was also dis
charged, as was Operator Bland, who
was next ordered to take up the work.
The discharge of these three men
caused every man in the office to leave
his wire, and the strike was on without
any preliminaries. All the men refused
to return to work and the Ferry office
was shut down for the night. Unless
arrangements are made for reopening
the office this morning the other West
ern Union offices in the city will have
to be depended upon to handle all the
work of that district.
Whether the strike will spread is a
matter of some doubt, but in case the
operators decide to stand together the
result is likely to be a serious one. The
Western Union Company does not rec
ognize the Operators Union, and as all
union operators of that company are on
what is known as secret list" the
strength of their organization is un-
