RIOT IN SAN FRANCISCO
Two street Railway Employees Shot
and Number of Persons
Injured.

SAN FRANCISCO. July A.-As a result
OF an attack on the strike-breaking crew of
a car late last night two men were shot and
wounded, three persons were injured in
the wrecking Of a building by a runaway
car, many others were severely dubbed
by the police and more than score of ar
rests were made for rioting.
When a car of the United Railroads in
charge OF ]. Talltskong and Motorman Eel
lei reached the end of its run on top of
the hill at Thirty-ninth and Noe streets
about $3.50 o'clock, and the crew was just
starting on the return trip three men
standing in the darkness about fifteen yards
away opened fire on the car with revolvers
Conductor Talltskong had just raised his
left arm to signal the motorman to go ahead
when a bullet smashed his elbow Almost
at the same moment Motorman FelleI
dropped to the floor of the car with a bullet
in his right thigh.
Another car was coming up the hill at
the time, and upon arriving at the top
the crew left 1t standing and took the car
with the wounded men with all possible
speed to the car barns at Twenty-ninth
and Mission streets. AS they turned the
corner at that point they saw their car
going down the hill at a terrific rate of
speed. Arriving at the turn the runaway
car jumped the track and plunged into a
small store, wrecking the building. Sophie
Bernstein, daughter of the proprietor of
the store; Ralph D. Hon. wife and child,
customers, were painfully cut and bruised
by breaking glass and falling timbers.
An immense crowd Immediately gathered
and fire alarm and riot calls were turned
in. The police reserves charged the crowd,
which had become turbulent. and used their
clubs freely. Many heads were cracked
and twenty arrests were made for rioting
Police Sergeant Lane was struck in the
back OF the head by a stone and seriously
hurt. He fired three shots at the two men.
one Of whom he charged threw the missile.
The two wounded were taken TO St. Luke $
hospital Their injuries are not dangerous.
1t is supposed that the men who attacked
the crew released the brakes on the car
and started it down the hill.

COUNTRIES YIELDING LITTLE
The Hague Conference Not Gathering
of Theorists, but of Practi-
cal Men.

COLOGNE. July 20. - Especially - The
Hague conference continues to attract at
tention in more ways than one throughout
the continent. For instance, the Kolnische
Zeitung notes that England is disposed to
make certain concessions on behalf Of
neutrals while substantially maintaining
the right to make such captures.
That paper says that II the point Of
view is adopted that the present moment
for alleviating the suffeTings OF war can
best be promoted by confining war-like ac-
tivity to actual warlike operations and
that the whole peaceful activity of the
citizens of bellgerent nations should be
removed as far as possible from the in
fiuence Of war It is certainly to be regretted
that the harsh and under the circumstances
cruel custom of the capture of private
property is preserved. On the other hand,
the impartial observer must recognize the
fact that England's objections have justi-
ication in the history and life interests of
that nation. England's power lies upon the
ocean, and 1t is quite understood that It
wishes to give 1t the most comprehensive
scope upon that domain and declines in this
respect to let itself be lead estray by hu-
manitarian considerations. The Hague con-
ference is not an assembly OF theorists and
no state Will DC lluuStu at tne conference
TO renounce the defense of it's really vital
interest in favor of general principles,
however exalted they may be. II England
does not do so in the case of the seizure
of private property at sea It may be re-
gretted, but no one Will be entitled to blame
It, In our view the labors Of the confer
ence will be considerably advanced II all
OF the states carefully refrain from re-
garding a negative attitude on the part OF
any country as actuated by a kind OF
malice against another country or against
general humanitarian principles. What
England does at the conference in regard
to the seizure of private property at sea,
Germany or some other country may be
compelled to do in some other question to-
morrow. II one takes this into account
one will come nearer to what is attainable,
place the debates Of the conference upon a
basis of mutual respect and understanding
and avoid discussion that might disturb
its progress.

UNITED FOR CLEAN MEAT
National Live stock Exchange II
with Government Against
TubercuIOsiH.


THE exchange is determined to aid the
government in the enforcement and main

Thomas B. Mcpherson, 701 Park avenue,
one Of the prominent livestock commission

president Of the National Livestock ex-
change at its convention in Kansas City
TO succeed J. @. Swift. Mr.. Mcpherson ar
rived from Kansas City yesterday morning.

governments policy and methods in this
matter Of trring to exterminate tubercu-

these laws. This IN was recon-
mended to the exchGzc committee
appointed to look into alton and the
exchange cordially adopt the report of the
committee. Consequently, when the legisla-
lures in these states convene next time
they will find representatives of the live
stock interests on hand to secure the en-

guess these representa- tives will not be run

by this action the National Livestock

industry It represents on record clearly as
with the government in its fight for sound
and healthful meat
Omaha and South Omaha were well
represented at the convention and they
brought back the presidency, which shows
our interests had hearing at least"
Mr.. Mcpherson, as readers of The Bee
know, persistenuy declined to accept the
nomination for the presidency when It wa,

election OF J. c. Swift, but he was over.
ridden and elected. Mr.. Swift, on the Other
hand, declined to allow his name used and
urged the election of Mr. Mcpherson.
Relations between Mr.. Swift and myself
were perfectly harmonious and are now,
said Mr.. Mcpherson. I'm fact, the Who'll,

Interesting Indian Dies.

There died here this week a most inter-
testing character, an Indian, Andrew John
by name. whom thousands win miss from
the capitol OF the nation. John was a
Seneca, whose Indian name was Ka-sten-ot,
which means Standing Stone" He was
large man. probably Weighing 800 pounds.
and as he ambled through the corridors Of
the capitol from the house committee on
Indian AFFAIRS TO the senate committee he
attracted universal attention. He spoke
English nuentiy and as his tribe was a
creditor OF the government he was ap-
pointed as an ex-chief OF the Seneca nation,
which maintains in New York state its
tribal character to collect the moneys owed
by the government 10 the Seneoas. For

CAUSE OF STRIKE.
Explained by Vice President Kelly
Of the Locomotive Firemen.
At Big -neeting at Court House,
Wednesday. Address Also by
Mayor Mout0n.

Last Wednesday evening Vice
President Kelly Of the LOcomo-
tive Firemen addressed a large
meeting at the court house. The
meeting was called to order by
Mr.. A. M. Martin. who made a
short talk expressing his friend
ships and support for the strik-
ers. Mayor Mouton spoke next.
He declared his sympathy with
the fremen in their efforts to Sc
cure a fair and equitable adjust
ment of their contention and ad-
vocated arbitration. which the
firemen had declared they were
ready to submit to.
Vice President Kelly was then
introduced. He explained the
cause of the strike stating that
it was declared because the
Southern Pacific had broken a
contract with the Firemen last
May without notice and without
cause. Letters we're read from
Chief Mammalian showing that
the Fremen had made all reason
able efforts to avoid strike. He
also scored the company for i'm
porting the class of men they
did to take the strikers places.
Mr.. Kelly made an. able talk and
placed the cause of the strike
clearly before his hearers.

block houses connected by wires
being established. the wires
being in charge of competent op-
orators whose duty it is to see
that no train is allowed to enter
the block under his supervision
until it is clear. The system
itself seems to be perfect as far
as human ingenuity can make it
so; but as in SO many other
things, much depends upon the
competency and faithfulness of
the operators in the block houses.
AS we understand it. if the wires
get out of order the fact cannot
escape the knowledge of the op
orator, but when an operator is
neglectful a train may enter the
block before it has been cleared
of the train ahead of it.
This has been the case in sew
eral accidents recently, and no.
tally in the wreck in which
President Samual Spencer lost
his life a few weeks since. So,
it is seen. the mechanical part of
the block system may be in per-
feet working order, but if the
human heartof the system is care
less disaster is likely to ensue.
The investigation started by the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has just begun, but it is
quite likely that it will develop
information of much value. with
regard to the strength and the
weakness of the system, and the
manner in which it is operated
on the great railway systems of
the country.

Last year the Council very
wisely appropriated $500 for the
construction of a model road by
government experts as an object
lesson. One of the important
things emphasized and taught
bv both Messrs. Sheets and
Harrison was that in building
dirt roads it was essential to use
only dirt, removing all other
aubstances. And that in bilud-
ing shell roads, use nothing but
shells.
Jefferson street has been in
nrocess Of Smelling for q mum
her Of years and it was announc-
"a at the Council meeting Mon
day night that twenty five car
loads Of shells had been ordered
70 continue the Smelling. Mon
day and Tuesday the dirt was
scraped from the sides to the
middleAnd yesterday additional
dirt was being hauled and
dumped in the street.
It seems TO be the intention to
dump the shells on top OF the
ART. This. in our opinion, win
81 Al unreasonable thing to do.
and would largely result in q
waste 81 money and material.

The Denver Express.
Biloxi Herald.

Biloxi Herald.
A fair sized audience at Duk.
ate's Theatre last night witness
ed THE Denver Express" a rat
thing good show. "The Denver
Express" is one of the best of
the old time melodramas, replete
with exciting and thrilling
scenes, interspersed with good,
clean comedy and homely and Of
ten amusing little incidents
which go right to the heart of an
lAmerican audience. The scenes
are laid in the west in the early
feighties and it is hard to imagine
a play more distinctly American.
The vaudeville features last
night were particularly pleasing
and received a large share of ap-
plause. All the members of the
company, individually and collec-
lively, sing well and their work
in this line was encored last
night again and again. There
was also some very fair mono
logue work.
The company is particularly
we'll balanced and capable and
during the five acts OF the play
they do a most astonishing
amount of hard work. There are
few plays where the members of
the cast have more lines or more
work than in "The Denver Ex-
press" and yet their energies
seem never to flag. The staging
of the piece is very good and it
is evident that the management
is conscientiously attempting to
give it's audiences their moneys
worth. AT The Jefferson

Investigating The Block System.
N. O. States.
An inquiry has been institut-
ed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission into the operation of
the block system of railroad sig
nails. This system has been in
J general use in the North for a
long time although it has not yet
come into general use in the
Southern States, only q few of
the, larger roads having installed
them. Some of the most appal-
ling accidents that have occurred
recently have been on roads
equipped with the block system,
this fact has brought to the front
the efficiency Of that system.
Briefly stated. the block
system provides for the divi-
sion Of the roads into sections
called blocks, a succession of
