county and a jury OF three CON-
pleted an inquest here last night
over the bodies of niue victims OF
the collision between 500 pas
senger train 1O6 and the engine
OF freight train 80.
a verdict was returned that
the wreck was caused by the in
competency OF the switching
crew in charge OF the freight
train. The 500 line manage
ment was declared negligent and
careless in employing inexperi-
enced men.
Tidney d. Adams Of Lisbon,
acting for the states attorney in

of his superior he is not in a po-
sition to say that arrests will be
made, but it is thought in some

Moore, the engineer, testified
that he was instructed to take a

STRIKE GROWING
, IN WINNIPEG
BY Associated PresE.

WINNIPEG, Man, March So.-The
street car strike situation is rapidly
acquiring grave proportions. A mob
assumed such threatening attitudes
late today that regulars were called
out and a detachment of Royal Can
adams assumed patrol of Main street.
The regulars lined up at the corner
of Higgins and Main streets with fixed
bayonets. This did not awe the crowd
which attacked a car and attempted
to pull off the crew. Mayor Sharpe
then read the riot act. and was greeted
with boots and jeers.
The soldiers then loaded with ball
cartridges and the mob failing to dis
perse a charge with fixed bayonets was
ordered and the crowd of wildly ex-
cited men was pressed back The few
cars that were operated today were
called off at o'clock, which no doubt
prevented bloody riots.
Attacks on the residences of direct
ors were threatened

NEW YORK, March 30.-The largest
number of immigrants ever brought
to an American port in one day came
into New York harbor yesterday and
one time it seemed az even the great
man-handlng machinery of Ellis
Islan7 would become clogged.
The total receipts of material for cit
izenship was 1888.
To immigration officials this rush is
inexplicable. Always in the spring the
tide of incoming Europeans is at its
greatest, but this year the high water
mark seems to be reached today fully
six weeks before the usual time. With
all the talk as to desirable immigrants
it was a pleasant surprise to the immi-
grafton officials when one steamship
landed 1,017 third class passengers, of
whom more than fifty per cent were
Irish, for the Irish are regarded as
very desirable immigrants.
Five other steamships brought immi-
grants principally from the south of
Europe. Almost half of the entire num-
ber of immigrants are young girls
who are seeking employment as SER

The great franchise grab is in its
death throes. 1t is fatally wounded by
the positive promise of Mayor McAleer
to veto the measure and will be buried
by the council through the promises of
a sufficient number of its members
to vote to sustain the veto. Seven
votes are necessary to pass an ordi-
nance when the mayor says no. Coun-
cilmen Blanchard, Hitler, Houghton.
Summerland and Harmon stated last
night over their own signatures that
they would sustain the veto, leaving
only Councilmen Kern, Healy and Ford
in doubt, and they will doubtless come
into camp when they see how their
colleagues are voting.
Public indignation has accomplished
its purpose and the ends of the gum
shoe franchise grabbers have been de-
feated.
1t was not until late last evening
that the big franchise steal took the
turn for the better. Councilman S.
w. Hitler set the ball rolling by his
signed statement that he had been
misled as to the real object of the
franchise and had voted for it in the
belief that 1t was for transconti-
mental railroad. He received a new
light on the subject and stated that
he would vote to sustain the mayors
veto.
May Vet ForestaiI Mayor
When it was learned that Council
man Hitler had taken the initiative
other members of the council were
quick to follow his example. and suf-
ficient number of pledges was received
to insure that the mayors veto will
be sustained.
Unless the mayor acts quickly, how
ever. he may not have an opportunity
to veto the measure, for the council
has been holding caucuses outside the
city hall and yesterday decided that
if the mayor had taken no action by
Monday the franchise ordinance would
be recalled from his hands and sent
to a committee.
Mayor McAleer talked more freely
about the franchise grab last night
than he has since ne returned from
interview given last night he said

utes over the regular train, gave up
this idea.
"The confidence reposed in me by the

mediate return to block the granting of

flying.
