Parker Forecasts the
Nomination of
Gillett
Humiliation of Ruef Is
Planned by Those
in Power
Los Angeles Delegation Arrives at
Santa Cruz and Plans to Hold
Caucus This Morning-sIates
Are Now Completed
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SANTA CRUZ, Sept. Al still ad-
here to my assertion made yesterday to
The Herald that Gillett will receive not
less than 46O votes" said Walter Parker
tonight. "Gillett will be nominated on
the second ballot. The first ballot will
be for the benefit of favorite sons.'
The words and actions of the Los An
geles Republican boss and other organ
ization men indicate either that Parker
knows for certainty that the machine
program is to be carried out or that he
is making tremendous bluff. Those
we'll acquainted with Parker say that
whenever he is uncertain about any
thing he is like the proverbial oyster,
and that he gives figures only when he
votes.
Consequently his assertion that Gill
lett win be nominated on the second
ballot must be construed as meaning
that the organization has arranged not
only for the defeat of Pardee but also
for the humiliating of Ruef The most
significant remark made by Parker was
while he was looking over a table of
votes published in a paper favorable to
Pardee.
Alameda, rs votes for Pardee," he
read softly. Yes, we'll concede him rs
votes from Alameda-unless we need
some of them.' The hint was backed
by Characteristic twinkle of his eye.
GiIIett Is Confident
Congressman Gillett expresses him
self confident of nomination on the sec
ond ballot and declares the entire op-
position cannot muster over 406 votes
out of the S25. Pardee still claims he
will be renominated, but says Ruef
holds the balance of power while Ruef
merely says the result is in doubt
Hayes says nothing and Porter is
equally reticent.
Reports say that Porter has not
agreed to accept the second place on
the ticket but the organization Is con-
fident he will Pardee. Hayes and Ruef
held conference today, but this fact
did not disturb Parker, who intimated
that Ruef might wake up and find
about fifty of his delegates gone.
If Victor Shaw of San Diego is NOM
mated for the appellate court of the
second district Attorney General Webb
will be renominated. If Shaw is not
nominated Samuel F. Smith of San
Diego, to succeed Webb, j. w. Tag
CART of San Bernardino and M. T.
Allen of Los Angeles are certain to re-
ceive the nominations.
w. S. Kingsbury of Los Angeles for
surveyor general and Theodore Sum-
merland of Los Angeles for railroad
commissioner are parts of the prear-
ranged slate. Other nominations ex-
pected by the machine are the renomin-
alton of Secretary of State Curry;
treasurer, w. r. Williams, Fresno;
superintendent of public Instruction,
Edward Hyatt. Riverside clerk of the
supreme court, F. l., Gaughey, Mendo-
cino; state printer, w. w. Shannon.
Opponents of the machine will not
oppose Judge j. w. Mckinley for chair
man of the convention. The Los An
geles delegation will hold a caucus at
10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.

FATAL WRECK ON
UNION PACIFIC
Thirty-fIve Passengers In Six Coaches
Shaken Up-The Locomotive
PIunges Over Embank-
ment With Engineer
By Associated Press.


CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 4.-The
westbound Los Angeles limited on the
Union Pacific railroad was wrecked at
2 O'Clock this morning at Red Butte
forty miles west of Cheyenne.
The entire train, including six coaches
left the track and the engine and bag
gage car turned over. Fireman W. j.
Cook was badly scalded. A tramp
(name unknown) was killed and an
other fatally injured.
Yesterday the Los Angeles. limited
eastbound was derailed near Evanston,
Wyo, and the engine turned over, but
no one was badly hurt in that accident.
The accident today occurred on the
double track and the line became
blocked for other trains.
Among the injured were:
Charles E. Barber, Los Angeles;
strain and bruise of back.
Mrs. K. L. Dodge, Long Beach, Cal.
bruised under left eye.
Isabelle Crosher, Los Angeles; neck
injured
About thirty-five passengers were
shaken up and bruised but none of them
was seriously injured. Hans Bangs
the engineer, stuck to his post and was
not badly injured, although the loco
motive rolled thirty feet down an elm
bankment.
The accident, it is believed, was
caused by spreading of the rails.

ARIZONA RANGERS
RAID PL0TTERS
RevoIutionists' Junta In Douglas Ex-
pected Orders From Toronto
to Take Up Arms and
Enter Mexico
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept. 4.--The cam
paign against the Mexican revolution
ary movement in this section, which
has been waged for. several weeks, cul-
minated this evening when a body of
Arizona rangers, directed by Captain
Tom Rynning, raided a house in an
isolated section near the International
line where meetings have been held
of late.
Revolvers, quantity of dynamite
and some incendiary literature were
discovered in the house.
About the same hour that the search
was being made, officers stationed
about town arrested twelve men who
are alleged to be members of the revo-
lutionary party. These men, it is de-
clared, will be prosecuted under the
neutrality law. e
Among the number arrested tonight
was Abram Salcido, an agitator, who
led the Morenci strike few years ago
and who was later imprisoned.
Expect Toronto Orders
AS a result of these arrests the au-
thorities, 1t Is said, have received in
formation that members of the revolu-
tionists junta in Douglas have been
expecting orders from Toronto to take
up arms and enter Mexico.
The activity of the officers who have
been endeavoring to thwart the plans
of the agitators here, it is learned,
is due TO the revelations of a West
Indian who came here from Cananea
to warn them that the revolutionists
were planning an attack on all the
towns on the border.

MExlCANS SEIZE A SMACK
While Lying at Anchor Near Arenas
Reef, Becalmed, Transport
Progresso Acts
By Associated Press.


GAL"ESTON, Tex, Sept. A
cablegram has been received by Mana
ger j. w. Mum of the Gulf Fisheries
company of this city from the captain
Of the smack Alao, which states that
that vessel has been seized by the
Mexican transport ProgresSo, while
lying at anchor, beclamed, close in to
Arenas reef.
The captain also states that he and
his son are in friendly hands and that
there will hardly be repetition of the
imprisonment and cruelty practiced on
American sailors of the Galveston,
Pensacola and Mobile fishing smacks
seized by the Mexican government a
few months ago.
Since the seizure of three smacks,
some time ago, they have continued to
fish in the same localities, but have
carefully observed the three mile
limit set out by Secretary Root as free
water for all fishermen. In this case
the captain states he had become be-
Gained and drifted into within about
one and one-half miles off the shore
and dropped anchor to await sufficient
wind to move out of the fishing grounds
when taken by the Mexican vessel.
Manager Mum notified Secretary

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.--The
strike of the car men on the United
Railroads which have been completely
tied UP since August 28 was practically
ended tonight when mt a mass meeting
the carmen voted to return TO work and
submit the question of wages and hours
to committee of arbitration.
IL Is proposed that this action will
include not only the arbitration of diff
ferences between the carmen and the
company but also those of the linenlen,
electricians. firemen and construction
workers now on strike.
The resolution adopted by the union
provides that the matter must first be
submitted to the strike committee of
the seven affiliated unions of the en-
ployes on the United Railroads for rati-
fication but no opposition is expected
and 1t is believed that the strike Of the
carmen as we'll as those of the other
unions will formally be declared off to-
morrow
Forced by National
The action of the carmen tonight was
practically forced by their national or
ganization and is a complete backdown
from the position taken at mass meet
ing several days ago.
1t was persistently rumored during
the day that President w. D. Mahon of
the Amalgamated Association Of Street
Railroad Employees of America with
which the local union is affiliated, had
ordered the men back to work under
threats of revoking their charter. This
was denied by the union leaders, who,
however, admitted that they had re-
ceived a telegram from Mahon, the
contents of which they refused to give
out, but which caused them to call a
mass meeting tonight.
Mahon Disapproved Strike
Before the carmen struck it was said
that Mahon wired his tacit disapproVal
of their contemplated action stating
that the first principle of the national
organization is arbitration by which,
according to the contract between the
carmen and the company, all disputes
were to be settled.
The resolution adopted by the union
after several hours of heated discus
sion provides for an arbitration board
of three members, one chosen by the
carmen, one by the United Railroads
and these two to select the third.
The strike committee will meet to-
morrow morning and If 1t ratifies the
action of the carmen. it will arrange
with President Calhoun as to what
time all other unions, as we'll as the
carmen shall return to work
Victory for Calhoun
The ending of the strike is virtually
a victory for President Calhoun, who
has taken the stand from the first that
he would not treat with the carmen or
arbitrate until they returned to work.
President Calhoun stated tonight that
he would take all the carmen back and
could also use all the men he has inn
ported.

SHIP OF WAR MAY
BRING STENSLAND
If Navy Cannot Cooperate States
Attorney VIII Send Repre-
sentative From His Of
In Chicago
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. A telegram to
Governor Deneen from the state de-
partment late this afternoon stated that
no home coming warship was due by
the way of the Mediterranean for forty
or fifty days. The contents of the
message was forwarded to Assistant
States Attorney Barbour tonight.
This complication, according to Mr..
Barbour will necesstate the sending of
a man from the states attorneys office
to bring back the defaulting bank pres
ident, Paul O.. Stensland, now under
arrest in Tangier.
Assistant States Attorney Barbour
earlier made a. demand on the United
States government for warship tc
bring Stensland back.
The request was sent by Mr.. Barbour
to Governor Deneen following a series
of communications between the state
executive and Acting Secretary of State
Adee at Washington.
Mr.. Barbour urged the seeming peril
of bringing Stensland across foreign
countries where the prisoner might
suddenly balk at the prospect of re-
turning to the United States. Moreover
Mr.. Barbour asserts that Stensland may
kill himself, and points out with vigor
the advisability of having StensIand
brought back to this country as a fed
eral prisoner on board of warship.
Attorney General Stead and Assistant
States Attorney Barnett were busy to-
day preparing a petition to President
Roosevelt asking him to see that the
government of Morocco is asked to turn
the prisoner over to the United States
authorities without delay. This petition
will be sent to Washington along with
other documents, including the bench
warrants for the arrest of Stensland.

of Burlington (Rep) in the First, and
Representative Haskins of Brattleboro
(Rep) in the Second, have been re-
elected by the usual large majority.

show that the Legislature will be over
whelmingly Republican.

PANIC ON T0P-HEAVY BOAT
Little Graft Has Perllous Adventure
on Niagara River Following
Siqht Explosion

BY Associated Press.
BUFFALO, Sept. 4.-Two women
were scalded and $50 panic stricken
passengers spent about half an hour
on the little steamer Koeber on the
Niagara river.
The injured women are Mrs. August
Schenback and Mrs. G. P. Lurser of
Tonawanda. Both are badly burned
but will recover.
When the steamer left Tonawanda
for Edgewater a resort on CRAM
Island, most of the $50 passengers
crowded on the upper deck This made
the steamer top-heavy and the swift
current and rough water in the middle
of the Niagara river caused her to reel
heavily. The passengers rushed from
side to side of the deck, adding to the
unsteadiness of the boat.
Suddenly steam pipe burst, envelop-
ing the passengers in a cloud of steam.
The excitement grew into a panic.
The captain swung his boat toward
mainland and with the aid of the cur
rent and with the steam remaining in
the boiler, succeeded in reaching a
dock, where the passengers landed.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-william ]. Bry-
an as a guest of the local Democracy
today delivered two addresses within
eight hours.
His first speech, which was made at
luncheon given in his honor by the
members of the Iroquois club, dealt
entirely with the political issues and
economic questions of the day.
The second speech, which was made
at banquet given in his honor by the
Jefferson club, was devoted to National
Committeeman Roger c. Sullivan of
illinois, whose resignation Mr.. Bryan
demanded bat who was indorsed by
the recent state convention which also
| declared IN favor of Mr.. Bryan as the
next Democratic nominee for president
MIR. Bryan not only scored Sullivan
and his political methods numerically,
but informed the Democrats present,
many of whom were delegates to the
recent state convention, that if they
accepted Mr.. Sullivan they could not
indorse him in any way. He informed
them emphatically that he would have
none of the approval of the Democrats
of Illinois and that he repudiated their
recent Endorsement of him.
Applaud Speaker
Not sign of disapproval was given
by the assembled Democrats during
Mr.. Bryan's speech and his announcer
ment that he repudiated the indorse-
ment of the Illinois state convention
which had indorsed Mr.. Sullivan was
greeted with applause.
In his afternoon address Mr.. BRYAN
said regarding the recent utterances
