UNION STATES ITS POSITION

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 27.--The Bull
letin says this afternoon that the dFec-
tors of the United Railroads today will
consider the adVisability of asking the
federal courts for the appointment of a
receiver.
This is reported to be one of the
solutions offered for the settlement of
the company's difficulties with the
strikers. With such receiver appointed
the operation of the roads would be
under the protection Of the United
states marshal and the forces of the
federal government
The following address to the people
OF San Francisco was issued today by
president Cornelius and Secretary Bow
ling of the Garments union:
',rhe president of the United Rail-
roads arrived in San Francisco yester-
day afternoon.
son the preceding night our union
said to his corporation:
Your president, you say, will be IN
this city Sunday evening. Very well.
Let him, II you are as we hope 10 find
you, deeply concerned lest you incon-
venience the people, meet with his fell
low directors Sunday night. That
course may be a triie inconyenient 10
him and TO them but that circum
stance he. they and you we feel viii

the entire city.
1--WE will do our full share to bring
about resumption of traffic.
We will hold ourselves in readiness
to return to work, Immediately on ac-
ceptance of our proposals-before Mr..
Calhoun arrives should you arrange
with him by telegraph or should you
take no action until he has arrived
then whenever he and you, acting to-
gether, inform us of agreement with
our moderate request.
The matter of being con-
siderate to the public is now
in your hands. Your cars may
readily be in operation before noon
OF Sunday If you say the word. Surely
with Mr.. Calhoun in San Francisco on
Sunday evening there can be no ex-
case short of willfu inaction on your
part If they are not running Monday
morning
Notwithstanding our reasonabl sug-
gestion, Mr.. Calhoun and his fellow
directors did not meet yesterday. This
was not because Mr.. Calhoun was ex-
hausted by travel; for the time that
would have been sufficient for reaching
an agreement with us he devoted to the
writing of a bitter truculent, a
threatening letter, In part sorrowing
with the public that the public must
be lneonvenienced in part intimating
that his corporation would prolong the
Inconvenience indefinitely rather than
be just to us.
while Mr.. Calhoun was preparing
his lengthy letter we were doing pre-
cisely as we had promised to do-that
is to say we were holding ourselves N
readiness 10 return to work on hearing
the signal from the United Railroads
"And throughout the night we con-
tinued to hold ourselves in readiness,
hoping for a reasonable conclusion Of
our difiiculties with Mr.. Calhoun's COM
pany. Our waiting availed nothing.
The interest of Mr.. Calhoun in the pub
lie convenience was exhausted ap-
parently in the composition OF the let
ter announcing II.
"We regret that the cars are not IN
operation this morning as they might
very well have been. We remain Will
ing to return to them the moment MIR.
Calhoun is so disposed. Our men are
ready Let the corporation act"

Hat Is Identified
A registered letter was found ad-
dressed to Mrs. Jennie Cook, house
keeper at the detention home. II was
from a sister, Mrs. Anna r. Drum Of
Boston, Mass, and was dated August
IA, 1905.
There was a bank book on the Ger

of sl76.s9, mute evidence Of the thrift

on her fingers were two diamond
rings. Her clothing was dainty and evi-
denced woman Of refinement and
taste.
AS soon as the news Of the shooting
was received in Los Angeles detectives
from the central station we're detailed
TO watch for the murderer In the city
and Deputy Sheriffs Yonkin and Gilbert
we're detailed from the sheriff's Office
to 60 towards the scene of the
car tragedy to find traces Of the man.
1t Is expected the man will be found
before noon.
A gray hat found near the bonnet of
the woman was Identified by Deputy
Sheriff Joe Sepulveda which he
thought was like one belonging to Fred
Cook, the divorced husband of the
murdered woman
According to Mrs Pratt, matron of
the detention home. Fred Cook, had
been been hanging about the home for
a sight Of his wife and was warned to
refrain from molesting her on pain of
arrest.
The couple were married in Boston in
January, 1904. and came a little later
to this state.
It is said the couple had several dis
agreements and she finally left him and
secured a divorce not long ago.
Yesterday Mrs. Cook went to Sher-
man to see her little girl and then down
for an outing at the beach.
1t is asserted by police, detectives
and deputy sheriffs that the man who
met her there and accompanied her
on the city bound car was her divorced
husband.
Cook could not be found anywhere
last. He is a plasterer by trade, but
has not been working steadily it is
said.
The police were anxious to find him as
1t was thought he might help clear
the mystery.
If the theory of the detectives and
officers is correct and Cook can be
associated with the shooting, then it is
believed he may attempt to elude cap
ture by committing suicide.
His revolver was found in the car
1t was of 3S-caliber. blue steel, with
three discharged chambers.
Mrs Pratt, matron Of the detention
home, was distressed to hear of the sad
death Of her assistant and as soon as
she was informed by Herald repre-
sentative that the body might be that
of Jennie Cook she at once went to the
undertaking establishment of Bresee
Bros and identified the body.
At the time Mrs. Pratt voice dher

the woman lying cold in death upon the
slab in the morgue could explain how
the shooting occurred, and as a result
of her information number of detec-
tives are searching for the man they
believe is guilty of tne murder

PALMA OFFERS NO COMPROMISE
Declares Peace viii Be Secured by
Use of Arms
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HAVANA. Aug. 27.-President Palma
today gave out a statement in which
he says that the insurrection has no
ideals and no program and that the
cries which the insurgents raised do
not constitute a program, ideals or a
Justification for the movement. Con-
tinuing the president says:
"All revolutions must have a pro-
gram as had our revolution for inde-
pendence in 1895. Everybody at that
time knew that the Cubans had re-
volted against Spain and had engaged
in an open fight for the liberty of their
country.
THE present movement is more of
local adventure-only a crazy move
ment on the part of the discontented
persons. There Is no moral reason
for it.
"The government could suspend the
constitutional guarantees, but ii pre-
fers to maintain the vigor and hope
Of the people and avoid excesses.
THE medical force has been in
structed to attend to all prisoners and
give wounded or sick insurgents the
same attention as wounded or sick
men belonging to the government
forces.
ANY insurgent repenting of his ac-
tion can return within the pale of the
law and may not be molested. The
government will have no petty spite
or feeling of rancor against those who
return to their homes and abandon
the cause of disorder"
viii Not Compromise
President Palma Is not disposed to
employ any other method than that OF
arms for the re-establishment OF peace.
He declares energetically that the
government would absolutely never
compromise with any form OF disturb
ance. The government was legitimate
ly constituted, was bound by its inn
perious duty and must demonstrate
that II is stable and able to safeguard
property. life and the happiness OF the
republic at present and in the future.
Any compromise would SOW the seed
of armed revolution throughout the
country. Maleontents were always ex-
tant. 1t being impossible to find public
positions for everyone. TO compromise
with the disturbers now would result
In further disturbances every few years
suppresslng the insurgents now will
forevermore guarantee the stability OF
the Cuban institutions. while diekerlnp
With them would expose the country to
