BUILDING TIE-UP COMES
TO AN END IN SAN JOSE
Trouble Involving the HOd Carriers
Will Be Submitted 10 Arbitra-
tion Board.

SAN JOSE. Oct. 3.-The tie-up in the
ranks of the hod carriers, which has
kept building operations in this city
at atpractical standstill for six weeks,
was, nbroken today and the welcome
sight of some hundreds of brickIayers.
plasterers and hod carriers busily at
work cheered the citizens when they
came downtown this morning.
The long drawn out strike, or lock-
out, grew out of a dispute between the
local hod carriers union and the Inter
national union. The hod carriers are
not affiliated with the Building Trades
Council and refused to work with the
internationals. The trouble caused an
absolute cessation of work on num-
Der of important buildings in the city.
The agreement by which work has
been resumed calls for a thirty-da
truce. during which the disputes will
be temporarily laid aside. In the
meantime a board of arbitration will
be appointed and the trouble will be
definitely settled.

ESSEN. Prussia. Oct. "A great
sensation has been caused here by the
murder of Miss Madelaine Lake, daugh-
ter of an English army officer. whose
body. terribly mutilated. was found on
Monday evening in the city park. The
police have been unable to throw any
light on the mystery Both her tenn
plies were beaten in and her throat
was lacerated by the hands of her
murderers. who evidently strangled
her after they had beaten her terribly
about the head.
The excitement caused by the crime
has been increased by the fact that the
inquiries of the authorities have re-
suited in seemingly establishing the
fact that Miss Lake was, distantly re-
lated TO the British royal family. The

AUTHORITIES NOW BELIEVE
THAT SNYDER WAS MURDERED
More Minute Examination of His
Skull Reveals a Fracture Sufficient
to Cause Death.

PORTLAND. Oct. 3.-Acting Coroner
Bagley of Hillsboro is so convinced
that Carey Snyder was murdered that
he has ordered the Sheriff OF Washing
ton County to reconvene the jury which
was impaneled on Monday when the
body Of the Kansas City bankers son
was found. more minute examina-
ton OF Snyder's skull by the authori-
ties revealed an injury at the base of
it that must have been made by a
bludgeon and which would have
caused death.
The belief is spreading that Snyder
was murdered and his body secreted
because he knew too much about the
robbery of the Forest Grove Bank last
year, though it is not limited that he
participated in that crime which is al
legged to have been committed by
George Perry and a man named Brash-
ear, Snyder's brother-in-law.

ambition and the most daring project
OF Henry E Huntington. Another mind
conceived the wonderful scenic route
from the valley to the summit OF
Mount Lowe and other promoters first
suggested the idea of a line to the top
of Mount Wilson. but il lay with Hunt
ington himself to hit upon the scheme
of making the proposed line a wonder
full aerial balloon route through the
medium Of a line hung upon and
hacked out of the mountain side to con-
meet the two adjacent peaks 1t VIII
be the most remarkable railroad in
the world.
AS outlined IN Huntington's plan. the
line TO connect the two peaks would
leave the end of the Mount Lowe line
of the Pacific Electric and wind about
through an infinitely tOrtuOus route
until IL arrived finally at the sum
nit of Mount Wilson after traversing
ten miles. Thence il would drop into
the San Gabriel Valley probably by
way of the present tollrOad and with
out an incline to connect with one OF
the electric's foothill lines.
Huntington made an examination OF
the ground today and many times be-
fore expert engineers were sent over
the route by him and pronounced il
feasible. While it Eill be extremely
costly to build. the veteran trolley
magnate figures that the road will soon
pay for itself. and he is determined to
push 1t through, according to the in
