This City Into Mutual
Relationship

tends Session of the
Germans
CONFERENCE is HELD

A delegation from the convention
of Irish societies headed by the chair
man. John P. Allen, met last night
with the German American League
which held it's regular meeting In the
hall under st, Markus Church. The
Irish representatives were there upon
the invitation OF the league to form an
agreement after the pattern Of that
which already exists in the East be-
tween the German American Alliance
and the Ancient Order OF Hiberntans
1t Is for the purpose of combating
the stringent immigration laws and
hindering the United States from be-
coming entangled with any foreign
power. No names are officially men
toned. but ii soon became apparent
that the foreign power was England
John Hermann, president of the Ger
man American League presided at the
meeting.
Chairman Allen spoke in behalf OF
the Irish delegation. saying that the
Germans and Irish together constituted
two-thirds of the population Of the
United States, and together they would
be a power which nothing could stand
against. ]. S. Mccormick, secretary
OF the delegation. said that there was
in this country a strong movement to
make an alliance with England, and
the Irish, who knew the perfldy OF
England, could not stand by and see
their adopted country jeopardized in
such way
After the impassioned oratory of the
Celts, a number of the delegation hav-
ing spoken. the more cautious but
equally earnest Teutons took the floor.
Carl w. Mueller, secretary Of the
league, dwelt on the need for an alli-
ance to make known the part that
Germans and Irish had played In, the
history of the United States He pro-
tested against the common reference to
England as the mother country" and
told of the work done by the legisla-
tive committee of the German-American
committee in Washington, which had
been influential In checking the unreas-
onably strict laws proposed against the
Caucasian immigration Among the
other speakers were Professor A Putz-
ker of the University OF California and
DR.. Max Magnus-

one Of the finest in the world, and has
appeared before an the crowned heads

TEAMING IS TIED UP
Nonarrival of Freight in Sheds Causes
Industrial Disaster

Alarm is freely expressed in all de-
partments of this city's commercial
and Industrial activities over the dis
astrous effects of the storm, which
shows no signs of abatement. Build
ing is almost at a standstili. teamin &
Is stopped, workingmen in all lines are
idle, prices of foodstuffs are jumping
alarmingly, and actual starvation is
facing the thousands of S1orses which
do the heavy hauling for rebuilding
metropolis.
The latter difficulty is by far the
most pressing and Immediate disaster.
No hay is being brought to San Fran
cisco. Even the small shipments OF in
ferior hay from the bay counties have
ceased, and for ten days not a wisp
has been received over the Southern
Giiroy. The barns in those communi-
ties are bulging with the product. but
shipments are tied up by the storm.
Abnormal conditions, say the hay
dealers. have been accentuated by a
genuine shortage existing prior to the
railroad tie-up by the storm For
months the Southern Pacific has been
importuned by the hay men to give
them cars, but the company could not,
and so when the storm shut Off COM
munication and freight traffic, an al
fcduy medSer supply SOOn gave out.
The horses are kept in the stables,
idle.
Adding to the Industrial embarrass-
ment is the nonarrival OF freight; there
Is nothing for the teams to do. No
shipments in the freight yards for ten
days mean the loss of thousands OF
dollars to teamsters who are engaged
in moving the steel and other building
material, as well as merchandise Of
all kinds from the freight sheds.
Meantime strings of freight cars
destined for San Francisco line every
sidetrack and spur from here into Me-
vada and south over the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific, while such freight as
is being moved is delayed interminably
at sidings to allow derelict and slow
moving passenger trains to pass.
McNab G. Smith, teaming contractors.
operate normally about 200 teams; less
than eighty were employed yesterday,
and they say that today there will be
a still greater number of idle horses
in the barns. This condition is an
index Of the experience of all the team
ing companies in the city. All state
that II trains are not moved within a
few days there will be absolutely no
teaming to do and no feed for the
horses.
Only small quantity OF green
produce is coming through Potatoes
and onions will be a luxury In a day
or so, for already prices are climbing
to emergency figures. Receivers an
ticipate famine and are de-
manding exorbitant and unreason-
able prices against that contingency.
Poultry will be scarce. Not enough Is
arriving to supply retailers for single
day. This being the time of Hebrew
holidays. as well as Easter time, the
situation is doubly serious
But worst OF all is threatened meat
famine. owing TO q suspension of rail
deliveries. No shipments from the
ranges in Eastern California and Ne
vada are being made. and the swampy
condition of country roads prevents
driving the cattle to market.

GRAF TIERS DENOUNCED

OF Mrs. Myra A Darden to be allowed
$3.50 a month alimony while her suit
for divorce is pending against Levi T..

den was divorced from him several
years ago In Eureka, she also having
charged extreme cruelty.

employ of the Southern Pacific. The
charge was extreme cruelty. During
the hearing Mrs. Leigh testified that
even on the morning OF the. great
