Up Over the officials Action;

Louisville, May 25.-Louisville last
night was thrown into the throes of its

ter there would not be tolerated any VIC
latiOn of section 1903, governing SALONS,
or 1921, relating to other forms of bust
ness not under the head of charity OF
the operation of steamboats, or railways
The vigorous action of the mayor has
spread CONSERVATION in the ranks of the
saloon element, and it is announced that
a vigorous effort will be made to test
the constitutionality of the act.
The action of Mayor Barth is due to
the ministers of Louisville, who two
weeks ago visited Governor Beckham
and urged him to enforce the laws.
The board of public safety today is
sued sweeping order calling on the
chief of police to see that the law be
strictly enforced. beginning at midnight
Saturday next. The order includes in its
inhibition saloons, theatres, liquor sell
ing in drug stores, barber shops, bill
lard halls, bowling alleys, skating Kinks
and all contract work. 1t also prohibits

This will, it is supposed be made the
reason for calling off next Sundays
game between Louis and Toledo.

Popular Priest Is Unanimous Choice of Car
men to Be Their Champion

Father Yorke was named by the
carmen yesterday as their representa-
tive on the new board of arbitration
which is to adjust the differences be-
tween the union and the United Rail-
roads The appointment was made by
the joint committee Of the unions rep
resented among the employees of the
that their choice of the rector of St.
Anthony's Oakland. was a unanimous
one.
After the dissolution Of the former
board, which had come to a deadlock
over the selection of its third member,
the carmen were the first to name their
new champion. Rev. Peter c. Yorke
was the first man named by the car
men for the position of third arbitrator
on the former board. But at that time
the company was unwilling to accept
him or any of the other men named by
the union. In the present instance the
carmen are free to choose whom they
will and the selection of Father Yorke
does not need the approval OF the
officers of the United Railroads He
has always taken q lively interest in
the affairs OF labor and the union
looked first to him as a man who
could be depended upon to present their
side of the case in the arbitration
court after the withdrawal OF President
Cornelius from that board.
NOTIFIED OF SELECTION.
The following is the letter written
by the union Representatives to Father
Yorke asking him to serve them in the
capacity of an arbitrator:

Dear Sir: In the matter of the ne
zotiatiors between the United Rail-
roads and the joint conference of
street railroad employees to arrange
for arbitration of the differences be-
tween the company and the unions
composing the joint conference with
respect to wages and hours, it has
been agreed that the matters in Con
troversy shall be referred to three
men in no way connected with either
party. The United Railroads is to Sc
lect one of their three, the joint con-
ference another. and these two are to
select the third member OF the board.
At a meeting of the joint conference
of street railroad employees held this
morning at the Office of the Labor
Council you were by unanimous vote
of the delegates chosen as the con-
ference's nominee for the arbitration
board.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 1s-President

hour law to apply TO all public work
under the supervision of any depart
ment of the Government. This order
affects more particularly work on
river and harbor Improvements.
Charles P. Neill. Commissioner of
Labor. who at the direction of the
President has had charge since last
winter of the enforcement of the eight
hour law, has sent to the President a
report. Of which the following is the
concluding paragraph:
l might add here that 1 found that
one very nbticeable effect has already
eSs aM 9rs @nstf fu q
ize now, that the law Is gong to be
enforced with earnestness and they no
longer dismiss it as a matter of no
law less than ever. but their attitude
none the less is rapidly changing into
one of becoming respect for the
statute.
To carry out Commissioner Neill's
recommendations the President to-
day signed the following executive
order:
L. All departments of the Govern
ment under the supervision OF which
public works are being constructed are
hereby directed to notify the representa-
tiyeS stationed at SuCn PUBIC WORKS 10

partments all cases in which contract
ors or subcontractorsto on works now
under construction have required or
permitted laborers or mechanics in
their employ to work over eight hours
in any one calendar day.
2. All Government representatives In
charge of construction of public works
are. further directed that it ds part OF
their duty to report to their respective
departments each and every case In
which laborers or mechanics are re-
quired or permitted to work over eight
hours day on the works under su-
pervision of such. Government repre-
sentatives. Wherever reports showing
work in excess Of eight hours a day
are received by any department they
are to be referred TO the Department
of Justice for appropriate action.
8. All departments of the Govern
ment under the supervision of which
public works are being constructed by
contract are further directed to have
their respective legal officers prepare
and forward to the President a list OF
such statutes and executive orders as
have direct bearing on contracts for
the construction of public works. and

WOMAN FALLS OFF
COAST TRAIN.

Well-oressed woman about 45 years
old. supposed to be Mrs. John Stefan
Of Steiner street, was found by the side
Of the Southern Pacifc tracks. between
Valencia and Bartlett streets, about 10
o'clock last night Her skull was frac-
tured and she was bleeding from deep
cuts in the head and face. Her clothes
were torn. It is believed that she fell
from the Shore Line Limited, which
passed Valencia street at $3.50 o'clock
last night. She was taken to the City
and County Hospital, where she lies
in a precarious condition
Three men who were walking along
the track shortly after 10 o'clock last
night heard her moaning and. rushed
10 her side. They carried her to Will
lianls' drug store on Valencia street and
telephonc0 for DR.. o. g. Freyermuth of
1149 Guerrero street. The physician ar
rived just as Mrs Stefan was sinking
into Inconsistencies.
Who are you--quick." he said to
her
II am Mrs. Stefan" she articulated
Il live on Steiner street am married
Send for my husband. He is
She could not finish the sentence
consciousness leaving her. She lay
moaning on the counter Of the drug
store. Dr. Freyermuth examined her
quickly and found that she had frac-
about the body. He rang for an ambul-
ance and she was taken quickly to the
City and County Hospital
It is probable that Mrs. Stefan either
fell from the Shore Line Limited or
was struck by ii as she was walking
along the tracks. She may have wanted
10 get of the train at the Valencia
street station. and, finding that 1t did
not stop. tried to jump to the ground.
Her body is fearfully bruised, as though
sae fell from the train and rolled along
the side of the track for several feet
Her face was covered with dirt, show
ing that she must have fallen with
great force.
The police were notified of the occur
renee. They are of the opinion that
the woman fell from the train.
II was stated at the City and County
Hospital last night that she had slight
chance Of living
