FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE.
Adding to the Seriousness of the strike
in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. July "a Be-
tween 400 and 500 freight handlers on
the southern Pacific struck TODAY.
Their action further complexities the
freight tie up in Oakland They de-
mand an increase OF from 22R to 25
cents an hour, such as was granted
the freight handlers on this side of
the bay over a week ago.
Every hour adds to the serious ma
ture of the freight tie up which threat
ems to become a situation OF the grav-
est peril to the city. In spite of the
fact that all shipments of lumber have
been forbidden from Oregon and Wash
ington to this city. about 400 carloads
of freight arrived today. which added
to the congestion already caused by
5000 cars which are awaiting unload
ing.
A serious problem must be faced.
The Southern Pacific officials have de-
cided to make a personal appeal to
consignees to unload their goods and
II this is not successful, other methods
will be tried to force them to take the
goods they have ordered Lack of
warehouse room is the principal cause
of the delay in the removal OF ship
ments.

CHILD DROWNED IN
|RR|GAT|NG DITCH
SAD DEATH THREE-YEAR OLD BOY
Three Physicians Hastily Summoned.
But Efforts to Revive Little
One Were Useless.

Lloyd Clifford Gardner, the year
old son of Mrs. Amy Spawnhoven. who
resides at the corner of Sixth and Va
kima avenue, was drowned in the
ditch which runs along the street in
that block, Tuesday afternoon.
The manner in which the child fell
into the ditch is not known as no one
saw him. He had been gone only a
few minutes when his mother went to
look for him. The body of the little
one was discovered in the ditch by the
mother, caught in the iron grating
which is placed at the crossing. The
frantic mother attempted to jump in
to the water after the child. but was
restrained by the ditch tender who had
happened on the scene. The body was
taken from the ditch by the ditch
tender and medical aid summoned i'm
mediately but to no avail. Three do
tors were on the scene within a very
few moments after the child was
found and they worked for a long tine
trying to bring it back to life.
At the place where the little body
was found the water is very swift and
quite deep, and it would have been i'm
possible for even a larger child to nave
gotten out had it fallen in at that
place.
The funeral viii be held at the resi-
dence Wednesday morning at 10 O'Clock
under the direction of Mr.. Flint.

While walking down the avenue
Tuesday evening, James Miller was ac-
costed by the Williams woman, and
asked her to direct her to place where
she could get a glass of cold lemonade.
Mr.. Miller was somewhat astonished
at the manner in which she accosted
him, but told her to go to Johnson's.
The woman started down the street,
and Miller bethought himself to feel
in his watch pocket where he had
placed two $40 bills, and found that
both were missing.
The woman had taken hold of Miller
in a familiar manner when she adj
dressed him and he at once suspected
what had become OF his money. lie
started in pursuit, and on overtaking
the woman, demanded the return of
the bills. She suggested that he might
have dropped them from his pocket,
and offered to go with him to lool. for
them. He allowed her to go along
and on lighting a match where they
had met he discovered one of the bills
on the ground where she had evident
~ Just dropped it. He insisted that
she had the other bill and after argu-
ing and disputing for some time search
was made and the other bill was found
in the woman's handkerchief.
Miller did not like this style of a
hold-up and had Alice arrested for
larceny. She was arraigned before
Justice Taggart Tuesday morning and
pleaded not guilty owing to the con-
victing evidence, she was placed under
bail of $4,000 and bound over to appear
