DETAILS ARE RESTORED
Normal Conditions Prevail in the Po-
lice Department Again

Orders were issued by Chief Dinan
last night again placing the police
force on an eight hour basis. Since the
beginning of the car strike the force
has been working in two shifts of II
hours each. A large detail has been
on duty throughout the city during the
day. with only small force on duty at
night. In order to patrol those dis
tricts which have been the scenes of
greatest disturbance. policemen have
been transferred from districts where
there have been few disorders. This
arrangement will continue. Chief
Dinan believes that the situation has
ouieted to the point where a smaller
detail can handle matters. The order
issued last night to the captains fol-
lows:
Commencing Tuesday. June II, and
until further orders. the hours of duty
for patrolnen will be arranged in the
following manner: Commencing IL

UN|ON|sTs WAGE BITTER
WAR ON ONE ANOTHER
Meeting of Pacific Coast
Council of Electri-
clans Called
CHARTER RESTORED
Striking Telephone Men Are
Firm in Attitude of
Defiance

Although the charter which was
taken from the wall of the headquar-
ters of electricians union No. Isl dur
ing the stormy session on Saturday
night has been as mysteriously re-
stored there is open war in the ranks
of the local. Both sides are preparing
for a struggle as bitter as that ever
wared between union men and strike
breakers.
Grand Vice President n. ]. Sullivan.
who accuses the members of proceed
ing illegally in declaring a strike
against the telephone company to aid
the girls in their fight. made the first
move of offense yesterday. He called
an executive meeting of the Pacific
coast district council, TO which will
come delegates from Washington. Ore
gon. Nevada and all parts of California.
The purpose of the conference will be
to make good the agreement with the
telephone company and also to decide
what shall be done with the disobedient
strikers
The defiant electricians declare that
they are not worrying over Sullivan's
threat to put other union men in neir
places in the phone company's employ,
and assert confidently that no brother
hood man is going to help break a
strike in the interest of an agree n.nt
which, they declare. they never IA
vored or sanctioned. They point 10
resolutions sent from Butte local 10. 65.
indorsing their sympathetic strike and
urging them to stand pat. The Butte
union. they say, went through SINH
lar experience recently when they gave
the telephone girls their aid by SYM
pathetic strike and won the fight for
them.
we will proceed legally in this mat
ter" said Sullivan yesterday. The in
ternational brotherhood Of electrical
workers cannot AFFORD TO repudiate
agreements and cannot afford to per-
nit subordinate unions to do so. We
will keep faith with the telephone COM
pany. Of that there can be no doubt.
even If we have to import men from
other states to take the places of the
misguided gallants of No. Isl. who have
a Don Quixote bee under their hats
Sullivan expects that the council
delegates will reach this city by to-
morrow and Grand President McNulty
is also expected to return in a few
days. His arrival is significant. be-
cause in a speech delivered TO one of
the electrical unions he dwelt at length
on the necessity of keeping TO the very
letter all agreements with corporations
in order to raise the esteem of the pub
lie in the stability and fairness of or
ganized labor. 4
The strife in local No. Isl ~ believed
by many to be merely continuance of
the difficulty betweeR electrical work
ers of No. L and No. when the former
was organized by President P. H Nc
Carthy of the building trades council.

Francis Love Accepts $103.50
in Lieu of Gifts Made
to Miss Jennings
DROPS LEGAL ACTION
Clink of Coin Sounds Knell
of a Matrimonial Bu-
reau Romance
DROPS LEGAL ACTION

Francis Love, the gallant plasterer,
who appealed from the court of love to
the court of the justices of the peace,
announced yesterday that Miss Glenn
ence Jennings of Oakland had reim-
bursed him for the presents he gave
her and that he would not press his
suit at law. Thus ended a romance
that was begun in matrimonial bu-
reau. In his complaint Love charged
that Clemence. patronized Cupid's
agencies and promised to marry men
solely to get whatever presents might
follow the plighting of troth- She re-
fused to keep her pledge to him and he
demanded either $103.50 or the return
Of gold band ring set with diamond
a gold brooch, skirt. waist and
ladys suit.
Love believes that something that
occurred Saturday night had a deal to
do with the settlement of his claim
against Miss Jennings. A mysterious
Nellie Smith called at his home at
Twenty-fourth and Castro streets.
She told him she was looking for
husband and, becoming interested at
once, he took her to the theater. Be-
tween acts she brought up the suit
against Miss Jennings and asked Love
what he intended TO do. Love replied
that he would sue Miss Jennings for
breach of promise and also ask for
damages from her sister. Nettie Jen-
nings for having alienated the affec-
tions OF his promised bride. This in
formation had depressing effect upon
Miss Smith. On the way home she
stopped in front of a Fillmore street
restaurant. told Love that she saw
friend inside, asked him TO wait
minute and left him on the sidewalk.
He waited half an hour. but the mys-
terious Nellie never returned.
The following day Miss Nettie Jen-
nings called at the home of Love.
She had with her the skirt, the waist
and the suit which the generous but
exacting plasterer had given her sister.
She also had a purse full of money.
First she asked Love If he would take
back the clothes. Not seeing the ring
and the brooch, he shook his head
VIII YOU take the money! asked
the visitor
'Oh. yes" said Love
At that Miss Nettie counted out
s10S.50 and dropped the money into
Loves outstretched hand. He signed
all claim he might have upon her af-
fections.
You had better take the clothes.
too" said Miss Nettie
oh, no." replied Love; but she threw
the bundle at his feet and hurried
away. After the settlement Love told
a friend that he still loved Cfemence.
III win her yet" he said. Some
day she'll send a messenger boy with
note saying she is ready TO marry me-"
Meantime IL another charmer should
happen to take Loves fancy he has
three presents ready: A waist that
cost $3.50. a skirt tagged $3.50 and
suit for which he paid $3.50, without
asking for credit.

Local Comment

A rising vote of thanks is due the
weather man.
The second annual Marshall county
fair was brought to a most successful
close Yesterday afternoon. Not a SIM
gle word Of complaint was heard any
where, and about the only possible
criticism that could be offered, n II
is a good one, is that the afternoon
programs were too long. Fortunately
people are free to go and come as
they please, and If they do not care
to sit them out they are not COM
PEELED to. For those who can not get
enough for their money the show is
just what is wanted.
y
The member Of the state board of
agriculture who said that Marshall
county's fair should be termed an ex-
position, struck the keynote. The eX-
hibition is so gigantic that it does not
impress the stranger with being sim
ply a county fair. A lady who visited
the grounds yesterday, said: Il thought
we had a big county fair at my old
home, but this would make three or
four Of our kind" Nothing but fav-
orable comment was heard on every
hand. All were words of praise for
the character of the exhibition and
the management; ever the ever-pres-
ent "knocker' had to curl up" and
lake a back seat.
y
The earnings Of the fair for the next
few years, now that the association
does not nave to pay rental for the
grounds, should be put into permanent
improvements. Because the fair is still
so new, and the grounds in a way are
i~mprovised, there is room for improve
ment in the way of buildings and ex-
hibition halls. The buildings are not
large enough, to begin with, when so
many exhibitors are to be
dated, and by another year means will
have to be devised to furnish additional
room in almost every department. The
cattle are not shown off to advan-
tage in their present quarters, and the
same is true of the horses. The poul-
try building is poorly ventilated, and
hard on the birds on hot days. 1t Is
