HUSBAND AND COIN
ARE MISSING

Mrs Rose Anderson, whose home is
in Point Richmond. called at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon and
asked Captain of Detectives Duke to
assist her in locating, her husband.
Charles Anderson, who on October %
last disappeared from home, taking
with him $500. The wife fears that
her husband has met with foul play,
although she admits that there is a
possibility that he deserted her. She
is loath to admit that any other woman
figured in the disappearance.
The husband on the day of his dis
appearance took $1,000 in savings from
the house, remarking that he might
go to San Francisco and make an in
vestment in real estate. On the same
day he called at the Hibernia Bank and
drew out about $4,000. Since then the
wife has not heard from him. At first
she thought he might be away on a
business trip, but as the days went by
she feared foul play.
AS Anderson took all of his personal
effects of value as well as the money.
Captain Duke is inclined to believe that
it is clear case of desertion. and SO
advised the woman She admitted
after much persuasion that their mar
ried life had not been a happy one.
They were welded in this city in 1898.

OLD WOMAN'S COIN
BRINGS FRIENDS

To prevent a dozen or more women
from tumbling over each other in an
effort to secure the $40. 600 fortune of
Mrs. Elizabeth Weiss, the aged refugee
who was found wandering in one Of the
parks with all of her money on her,
Dr. Frank Tillman Of the Central Emer-
gency Hospital swore to a complaint
yesterday charging the unfortunate
woman with insanity. This will insure
a guardian being appointed and wiH
put an end, temporarily. to the many
endeavors of outsiders to obtain pos
session Of the money. If there are any
heirs after the question Of Mrs. Weiss
sanity has been determined the Supe-
fior Court will deal with them.
All day yesterday, while the afiuent
but eyed refugee was being cared for
at the hospital, steady stream Of per-
sons willing 20 care for the dear old
lady and her money without the inter
pital Some claimed to be relatives,
others thought that they might be,
while the third class professed nothing
but genuine friendship for the old
dame. In one or two cases. without
doubt, the callers were sincere in their
protestations of solicitude, but the fact
that a fortune Of $4,000 was possessed
by the woman caused persons with a
slight claim or no claim at all to
guardian.
DR.. Tillman, after the twelfth woman
had called and explained the nature of
her claim on the old lady and her
money. decided to put the entire mat
ter in the hands of the Superior Court,
which will appoint a competent
guardian in event of the old lady being
declared mentally incompetent to care
for herself or her money.
Mrs Catherine Peters of Oakland, an
old German lady. called, but said she
did not want the money, but would
care for Mrs. Weiss, whom she had
known for many years After leaving
the hospital Mrs. Peters went to police

RED FLAG CARRIED
BY STRIKERS

After laying down their picks and
shOvels and refusing to go back TO
work until the grievances they felt they
were bearing were settled, mob OF
Greek track labOrers employed by the
United Railroads precipitated riot
yesterday with another gang OF their
cOuntrymen that refused to follow their
example, and but for the timely inter-
ference of an armed citizen and squad
of police bIoOdshed would have re-
suited. Several shots were fired during
the melee by the representatives of the
law, but as they were only meant to
frfghten the combatants NO one was in
jured.
The trouble originated at noon, when
about a hundred members of a gang
working on the Sixth street line at the
Mission street crossing were laid off by
a representative of the street car COM
pany and the Greek foreman of the
gang promptly called off the remainder
of the crew. Immediately after the
strike was declared the five or six hun

join in the strike and they met with
little opposition until along in the aft
ernoon they came upon gang OF
street PAYERS, In charge of Foreman
Simon Lentz, working al the corner of
Polk and Union streets.
BY this time the strikers had devel-
opeds into a small army and were
marching behind three red flags draped
with red ribbon. On their demand that
the PAYERS leave OFF work Lentz began
to expostulate with them, trying to in
duce them ito allow his men to COM

answered by Kisses and whistles, and
at the command of their leader the
mob rushed the little knot of workers

roughly had not a nystander, Edward
Rftchie, drawn his revolver and fired
several shots in the air. which held the
attacking men in check until a patrol
wagon, in answer to a riot call, drove
up and dispersed the majority of the
combatants. After Richie had emptied
his weapon the leader of the disturbers
struck at him with a club, fracturing
his arm. which he threw up to protect
his head.

MANY ARE ARRESTED

Corporal Morrissey and Officer Earle,
who arrived with the patrol. arrested
twenty three of the laborers and locked
them up at the Bush street station,
where they probably will be charged
not only with melting a riot but with
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm.
While most of the 3osU men who quit
did not seem to know exactly for what
reason they were quitting, it was
learned from their business agent,
Frank Doran, that or some time the
men have been very dissatisfied by al
legged Misrepresentation to them on
the part of the United Railroads, and
that yesterdays trouble was the OUT
come, being brought to a crisis by the
action of thA company in discharging
the 100 men.
According to Doran, who offers to
prove his assertions. every week the
men have trouble with the timekeep-
ers. small amounts being held out of
their wages by those officials. Another
grievance alleged by the employees Is
that when they were put to work they
were to receive $2.25 per day, and that
at the end of thirty days. this was to
be increased to $3.50 After about
twenty five days, SO the men claim. in
stead of receiving the raise they were
a. few days. only to be paid their old
rate of wage.
AS the strike Of yesterday was not
called at the instisation of the off,
cials of the union. 1t will have no effect
on the labors of the arbitration board,
which is at present in sessions'to con-
slider the demands of that union along
with other organizations employed by

MULLALLY DENIES CHARGES

Only about. ten or fifteen per cent Of
the strikers are members of the Street
Railroad Construction Workers Union
and in the afternoon number who
signified their intention of joining were
told that they would not be accepted
as members until they had returned to
work
At the offices OF the United Railroads
the statement to-the effect that any
money had been withheld from the
checks of the men was branded as alb
solutely false, as was likewise the re-
port that the men were at any time
laid off to. prevent their receiving a
raise in wages. "The demands of the
construction workers has been
thrashed out by the arbitration board,
said assistant to the President Thorn
wall Mullal1y, "and we will abide By
the decision that body reaches. The
United Railroads needs men too badly
to lay any of them off even for a single
day
New men will be put to work as soor
as possible. according to Mutually, ane
even should the new men now striking
continue to refuse to return to work
1t Is not thought that the work in re-
pairing the streets now torn up will bt

A STREET SIGN HINT.
How Minor and Maltifold Things
Can Be Made Objects of Art.


Can Be Made Objects Of Art.
Minor and multifold things, like
street signs, can be made objects of
art, however simple their character,
says the Century. Care may be easily
be had to give them proper proper
ton. an agreeable color compatible
with eligibility and good lettering. In
the case of wayside guideboards there
is yet further opportunity to make
them attractive in design. In Boston,
when street signs stand detached
from buildings, pleasant decorative
effect is given by simple iron SCROLL
work in the angle between board and
post.
In many parts OF Boston are to be
seen bronze tablets with appropriate
inscriptions. marking some historic
building or commemorating some
notable event. Certain patriotic Or
ders, like the Sons of the Revolution,
have made the placing of such tab
lets one of their duties. In various
New England communities local his
toric societies mark notable sites
in similar way, perhaps at first with
painted legends. to be replaced when
means permit, by inscriptions more
enduring. This service might we'll be
extended. Street names often bear in
innate relations with local history.
but for lack of record the circum-
stances of their designation are likely
to be forgotten. Here, then. is a rich
field of work for local societies, in
placing in each street that bears
historic name, an inscription giving

The problem of a competitive grain
market at the head of the lakes VII!
in all probability be solved through
the organization OF an Independent
shippers association, composed OF the
farmers and grain growers OF North
Dakota, which will operate and control
an elevator OF its own in Superior.
says Nhe Fargo Forum. This solu-
ton vas suggested at conference
held yesterday in st. Paul between
Representatives Of the Great Northern
road and members of the committee
appointed by the North Dakota Bank
ers' association, which was recently
appointed to look into the situation at
Duluth and Superior.
The committee. which includes Pres
ident j. l.. Cashel Of Grafton. preet-
dent of the North Dakota Bankers as
ISOLATION, Secretary w. c. Macfadden
Of Fargo and Senator George NJ. Young
OF Valley City, met and conferred with
First Vice President Louis W. Hill
B. Campbell, fourth vice president OF
the Great Northern. and one Of the
roads attorneys. The bankers pointed
out that under the present conditions
the farmers and Independent shippers
are not getting square deal at the
head of the lakes, because the grain
market there is completely under the
control Of the Duluth board Of trade.
They argued that the Great Northern
should open its Superior elevators to
the Independent shippers.
In reply the Great Northern Off
Gals gave several reasons for the
closing of the elevators in Superior
to the public. Chief among these was
the construction Of the Wisconsin
grain law which the railroad officials
say compels an elevator company to
provide private bin for the grain Of
each shipper on demand. Compliance
with this law would so hamper an ell
evator that it would be impossible to
operate it to its full capacity because
there would continually be number
OF special bins only partly filled with
wheat. Several other Objectionable
features were also pointed out, among
them the fact that shippers might de-
mani both Minnesota and Wisconsin
inspection for grain billed to Duluth
but consigned to Superior elevator.
The Wisconsin law makes it impera-
