PLAN TO BREAK FRISCO STRIKE.
Car Company Officials Arrange for
Operation of Main Lines.

San Francisco, May 7.-No cars
were run on the lines of the United
Railroads Monday, but it was said
that to-day an attempt would be made
to resume operations. The company
has now a number of men quartered
at it's barns in different sections of
the city, and has arranged for the pro-
lection of them, as we'll as for their
accommodation. Provisions of all kinds
have been stored in these strongholds
and appliances for cooking meals for
the men have been provided. From
the preparations already made it is
evident that the company at first in
tends to run cars at first on the main
streets covered by the system, and
that no attempt will be made to op-
crate the minor lines.
In an effort to bring about a peace
ful settlement of the strike, a commit
tee of the Civic league called upon
President Callahan Sunday night and
urged him to submit the differences
between the company and the union
to arbitration. The reply was that
the cars would soon be running and
the committee urged to see that no
opposition was offered to their peace
full operation.

IOre, ne IS guilty or the crime.
The purpose Of the application for .
bill of particulars on the part Of the
defense is to force the state to show.
In advance of the commencement of
the trial, in what manner the state
expects to link Haywood with the
murder.
This necessarily would mean an ex-
posure of the evidence in the hands Of
the state and the motion for the bill
of particulars will be opposed vigor-
ously by the states attorney.
President ROosevelt's letter to the
committee Of the New York labor
unions. replying to their request for
evidence as to his reasons for calling
Haywood, Meyer and PettibOne "un-
desirable citizens" was published here
In this city. The reply has aroused
no little comment.
Comments on Presidents Reply.
Immediately before the opening Of
the court for the hearing of the mo-
ton for bill of particulars, Clarence
Darrow, of counsel for the defense,
said: =
Under the laws and constitution,
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone are
to be tried in court by a jury of their
peers. The forum is the state court
of Idaho Under these facts I do not
see what there is for the president
to do. All we have a right, or desire
to ask either Of him or any citizen is
to leave the courts and juries to ad-
minister the law fairly and without
prejudice and without influence from
the outside"
President Pledges Square Deal.
New York, May 7-SOcialist dele
gates to the Central Federation union
were routed Sunday in an attempt to
get that body on record as criticising
President Roosevelt when the report
of the committee Of three which inter-
viewed Roosevelt last week regarding
his undesirable citizen" statement in
reference to Meyer and Haywood was
read. The defeat of the socialists
followed the reading Of letter from
President Roosevelt, in which he
quoted his own utterances of year
ago: Our duty is to see that exact
justice Is done these men," and de-
clared that If evidence is submitted
to him showing that there has been a
miscarriage of justice for or against
Meyer or Haywood, he will bring such
evidence to the attention of the at
torney general for action.

BY direction of the court Haywood
was brought up from the county Jail
below to attend the hearing on the
motion. Sheriff Shad Hodgin and two
deputies brought the noted prisoner
into the room and gave him seat at
the table of his counsel. He was not
handcuffed.
No Material Effect on Case.
Counsel on both sides admit that
the application for bill of particu-
lars is not likely to affect the case
materially. A bill of particulars in
case of murder is somewhat un-
usual, but as this case presents cer-
tain peculiar features counsel for the
prisoners express themselves of the
opinion that they should complete
their record by the course they have
taken.
Haywood is charged with the actual
murder of Gov. Steunenberg 1t is ad-
mitted by the prosecution that Hay
wood was not in the state of Idaho

MORE LONGSK0REMiN QUIT
STRIKE IN NEW YORK CITY BE.
COMING SERIOUS.
Movement Of Ocean Liners and Mail
Steamers May Be Delayed by
the Trouble.

New York, May 1.-THE strike Of
longshoremen, which has been in prog
gress for more than week, affecting
not only the coastwise steamers but
several transatlantic lines, took an ex-
tremely serious turn Monday when
the men employed by five more large
transatlantic lines joined the move
ment. The men who joined the ranks
of the strikers number between four
and five thousand, and their action
may result in serious delay in the
movement Of some of the biggest
transatlantic passenger and mail
steamships. The men who Joined the
movement were those of the North
German Lloyd line, the Scandinavian
American, the Hamburg g-American, the
Holland-American and the Phoenix
lines. Some of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can men consented to resume their
tasks temporarily, but with the under
standing that unless their demands
are granted before today they will at
that time join the strike movement in
body.
Up to this latest development more
than 5000 men were on strike from
the American and Red Star lines and
from the various docks in Brooklyn.
Tramp steamships from various parts
of the world are chiefly affected in
Brooklyn. There have been no serious
disorders.
The movement is uniformly in sup
port of demand for an increase in
wages to 40 cents an hour regularly,
60 cents for overtime, and 80 cents for
holiday work. This is practically an
advance of 33 13 per cent. over the
wages now paid by the steamship COM
panies.

The progress of the trial of Wild
dowson and Brown at Baker City for
the murder of Willard Moody, a
rancher in Pine valley on September
Is, is bringing out the strange GRIM
inal history of that corner of Oregon.
The murder of Moody is said to
have been the result OF one Of the
many bitter feuds which have played
sad part In the settlement and
growth of Pine and Eagle valleys.
Situated far in the Interior with
slow means of communication with
the outside world these valleys have
been the scene of a number of four
mburders, mysterious disappearances,
fatal quarrels and disastrous neigh
borhood difficulties.
When Pine and Eagle valleys be-
longed to Union county, 1t was a
standing rule with courts, officials
and Jurors to expect at least one mur-
der from that section each term Of
court. Since Baker county has an
nexed the territory the reputation has
been fully sustained.
The country was settled by a good
class of citizens and some of the
best men in Oregon live in Pine and
Eagle valleys, but the remote valleys
also attracted many hard characters,
who were in hiding from other locali-
ties, and these gradually became fix
lures in the valleys and rearing fam
lilies, added to the criminal character
istics Of the settlement.
Only a few miles from where
Moody was found murdered last Sep
tember, an entire family of three.
named Mercier, was murdered in cold
blood on new years day. 1895, by a
man named Porter, the only murderer

Of alienists engaged by the state to
watch every act Of the prisoner dur
ing the selection of the jury. 1t IS
understood that Jerome has decided
the defense is going to plead emo
tional insanity and has placed the
specialists to watch the prisoner
closely.
The Thaw Jurors are carefully
guarded. but are subjected to no par
ticular hardship. Seventeen rooms
and private dining room are engag-
ed for them at the Broadway Cen
trail hotel. All publications they read
are censored, being clipped of all ref
ercnces to the case and all letters to
the jurors are read before bein given
the members.
Hartridge, of the Thaw defense, de-
nies all stories of disagreement in the
Thaw family. As a result of the ap-
parent coldness between his mother
and the wife of the defendant, gossip
ers were busy yesterday with stories
of estrangement and speculation as to
the effect upon the chances of the
prisoner.
The prisoners wife, mother and
brother Josiah, called at the Tombs
early this morning and remained un-
til nearly 1 this afternoon. Follow
ing the family conference, Thaw
talked with A. E. Peabody, one of his
counsel, as a result of which Peabody
made formal denial of any estrange-
ment between members of the two
families. 1t is generally believed May
Mckenzie is the cause of the COOL
ness, Evelyn refusing to give up her

bands family desire.
