Philadelphia, Pa. Dec I1.-Fcr the first
time since the unrest among the employees
Of the railroads having terminals in this
city commenced. the officials Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad to-day showed evi-
dences of grave concern as to the out

There IS talk here tonight of having in

President George F. Baer, of the Read
ing, and urge him TO partly abandon his
oft-expressed determination not to in any
way recognize the organizations of the
employees Of the railroad.
The Pennsylvania has already made i'm
pOrtant concessions TO its men, but it has
not yet met all their demands. and the
trouble on that road is by no means set

Unions tn Fight for Prestige.
Conferences were held here to-day be-
tween General Manager Atterbury. of the
Pennsylvania. and representatives of the
national organization of railroad men,
and during these conferences the general
manager was given to understand that if
he did not make more concessions there
would be a strike upon his road.
The labor leaders are most anxious to
win this fight. as it means much to the
prestige Of the organization. The granting
by the railroad Of a 10 per cent increase
to most of it's employees without any de-
mand by the union was a hard blow at
tho supremacy Of the organization, for it
created an impression among some of the
men that much could be gained from the
management of the road without the
union. Officials of the railroad have taken
every opportunity to strengthen this i'm
preston.

IN STRAITS

Letters received from the members
OF the Hawaiian band. dated Omaha,
do not have very rosy hue.
one OF the leading singers wrote to a
leader of quintet club here that sal
aries have been in arrears almost con-
stantly since leaving Honolulu. Some
times only sii In month were re-
ceived by a singer. Lately. little or nc
money has been given for the payment
of salaries.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
expressed all along the line and this
probably accounts for the cablegran
sent TO the county supervisors by Cap
tain Berger asking for money enough
to come home on.
The band people expected to leave
San Francisco for home on the Mon

Editor Advertiser: In very inter
esting article on the Wahiawa pine
apples in your issue of September "a,
Mr.. c. Elschner says amongst other
things, Gan indications point to the
future classification of the Wahiawa
pines as the best product of their
kind Mr.. Elschner is probably aware
that Wahiawa is not the only place on
these islands where pineapples are
grown and an extraordinarily fine
aroma and an excellent sweetness" is
claimed just as well by the pineapple
growers on Maui, as 1t is no doubt also
by those in Hilo and in Kona. Mr..
Elschner is no doubt fairminded and
would not want to award the laurel
wreath without at least fair and open
competition. There is an expert Flori.
da agricultural man who after care
full study of the matter chose Haiku,
Maui, as the spot for his pineapple
plantation. Perhaps Mr.. Elschner
would himself too,-who knowss Pos
sibly. too, he would choose Hilo or Ko-
ma, who can sayi Competition in Ha-
waiian canned pineapple is getting keen
and any direct assertions in regard to
quality as by Mr.. Elschner are liable
to be made stock of and possibly, hurt
other packers in these islands. All we
want is fair play with the rest and a
chance for the wreath. Unless Mr.
Elschner has examined further thar
just at Wahiawa, he can not be quail
fed to state more than that all indica
tions scam to mint tn the Hawaiian
pines as the best products of theil
kind. Otherwise he would show him
self to be biased. / hope Mr.. Elschnel
will honor Haiku with visit during
the next summer season.

PRACTICAL
FORESTRY

Editor Advertiser: Now, when il
soon will be the time that the legisla-
ture will be asked for an appropria-
tion for forestry, it probably will be of
some interest to the public to know a
little about what has been done at Ka-
iliili in that line. 1t may help lit
tie to convince people that an appro-
priation to forestry does not mean
waste of money
1t is well known, that II. p. Baldwin
is pioneer in forestry as well as in
many things else, but it has to be no.
ticed that when Mr.. Baldwin started
his forest planting, his object only
was to provide for a watershed. and
as it never has been run on any larger
scale, the expenses could not cut any

STAGE WING FALLS,

TENOR HAS NARROW ESCAPE IN

Singer Notices Stir in Audience and
Dodges In Nick Of Time-Duet
Ceases, but Orchestra Keeps on Its

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Caruso, the
famous tenor, when singing a duet
after the first act in the metropolitan
opera house tonight with Sembrich,
had a narrow escape from severe in
jury and possible death by the fall of
heavy wing setting of wood and
canvas. He lodged just in time to
avoid being struck.
Sembrich had been singing the title
role and Caruso the part of Edgardo
in Lucia di Lammermoor," following
the first act, for which the stage had
been set as a forest scene, they began
a duet. Caruso was near the side
of the stage, while Sembrich, who
was near the center, was out of dam
ger.
The movements Of hundreds in the
audience who saw the wing topple out
above the tenor's head must have at
tracted his attention for he glanced
upward and jumped aside just as the
heavy scenery fell with a loud crash.
Although the singers ceased their ef-
forts the orchestra continued to play.
The duet was interrupted for fully
minute, after which the singers re-
sumed, taking up the music where the
orchestra then was playing.

CITIZENS WOULD
BREAK DEADLOCK
TAXPAYERS HOPE TO FRAME
COMPROMISE
Meeting Is Called for This Morning
In Chamber Of Commerce to
Harmonlze Mayor and
Council

Dismayed at the failure of the coun-
Gil and mayor to break the deadlock
over the board of public works, meet
ing has been called for 10 o'clock this
morning at the chamber of commerce,
when citizens will endeavor to frame
some plan whereby the mayor and
council can get together.
The call for the meeting has not
been issued by any official organiza-
tion, but is backed by a number of
the most prominent citizens and some
of the largest taxpayers of this city.
These are: o. T. Johnson, j. H. Spires,
J.. r. Sartorl, Lyman Stewart, Homer
Laughlin, M. A. Hamburger, II. w.
Hellman, w. c. Patterson, Dr. Hender-
son Hayward, T. w. Brotherton, w. II.

Let's, F. T. Fay, Charles Silent, w. D.
Stephens, William Mead, A. B. Cass,
b. F. Coulter, Robert Jones, H. Jevne,
j. ID. Bicknell and A. G. Bilicke.
j. H. Spires, who as a citizen and
taxpayer has taken deep interest in
the question of board of public works,
said yesterday:
I'm calling this meeting we are actu-
ated by no political motives whatever,
but we greatly deplore the apparent
1naD11ty OIL the council ana the mayor
to agree on. board of public works
and we are dsmayed at the serious re-
suits that may be occasioned by fur
ther delay.
''There is not one of these men who
is a candidate for a place on the board
of works. None would accept the posi-
tion if it were offered him.
I'VE have no candidates of our own
and no motive whatever but the city's
good"
This action has been contemplated
by these men since last week when
the mayor refused to accept the second
compromise offered by the council, that
the chamber of commerce, Merchants
and Manufacturers association and the
Municipal league be invited to each Sc
1ect a list of three names which the
mayor would send in in various combi-
nations until a board of works was
selected.
When the council made another sug-
gesiton these men decided to wait until
the mayor had made answer to it and
when the chief executive refused to
accept the suggestion yesterday the
meeting was called. ---s
