FIGHT ID FINISH IN STREET CAR STRIKE San Francisco Police Can't
 Control Situation ARBITRATION IS REJECTED Railways Wish to Run a String of Cars, But Authorities Fear Con-
 sequences-Two Cars Go
 Out--No Violence.
ARBITRATION IS REJECTED

San Francisco, May 10.--The street rail- way strike has developed into a fight to a finish. Neither side is willing to ac- cept arbitration, and the citizens com mittee, appointed to secure industrial peace, have been unable to find any basis of settlement It has been demonstrated that the police force is inadequate and that stronger measures will be necessary to insure a general resumption of serv- ice, If the struggle is conducted on pres ent lines.
 The wish today of the United railways officials was to run a string of cars from the barn at Oak and Frederick streets through the business district. and north of Market street to the Ferry building but the consent of the police department could not be obtained, and as a compro- mise two cars were run as far as Larkin street, being operated on Oak, Stanton Page Devisideor and Suter streets. The route was covered twice. On the first trip mounted police acted as outriders and more than a score of patrolmen rode in automobiles, but no violence was of fcred by the crowds On the second trip the mounted officers were withdrawn as an experiment to determine the temper of the crowd. Missiles were hurled from buildings and several persons were in- -ured. Assistant President Mullally said today he had several hundred strike breakers, motormen and conductors, quartered in the companies barns and that they are competent to operate prac- tically the entire street car system. Mayor Schmitz said the police department Is competent to cope with" the situation.
 Chef of Police Dinan said his men would keep order. Meantime the populace of San Francisco are deprived of street car service, subject to the alternative of walking or paying for an execrable wagon service.

SKULL CRUSHED; PASTOR DIES.
Injuries Sustained in Falling From
Trolley Fatal to DR.. Soweu.

PHILADELPHIA, August 15.-The Rev
George Sowell, forty years old, of AIS Elm
avenue, Palmyra, died yesterday at the
Cooper Hospital where he had been taken
with a fractured skull. He never regained
consciousness.
While returning to his home Tuesday
night he met with his injuries. He had
spent the day at the seashore with his wife
He concluded to go home by trolley, and
when the latter reached the post Office near
his home he arose to alight. Apparently
taken with a dizzy spell. he fell from the
car to the road. striking the back of his
head. When it was found he had been
seriously injured he was at once removed to
the hospital in Camden. An examination
there showed his skull had been crushed in
at the base
The Rev Mr. Sowel was pastor of the
PALMYRA Baptist Church and was widely
known in south Jersey. Some years ago he
was the pastor Of the Grace Baptist Church
of east Camden.
Misfortune seems to have dogged the foot
steps of the Sowell family ever since he ac-
cepted the call to Palmyra, more than a
year ago. He was stationed at Medford at
the time, and before he left two little sons
died of diphtheria. Soon after his arrival
in Palmyra there was serious illness in the
family. and a few weeks ago his son Nor
man was nearly killed in runaway acci-

TEN STICK ISLAND.
Smallest Isolated Bit Of Great Britain
Existent.
From Pearson's Weekly.

From Pearson's Weekly.
1t was stated in parliament the other day
that the New Hebrides belong to nobody.
Presumably. this curious statement meant.
II it meant anything. that the islands be-
long TO the New Hebrideans themselves.
But even this is not quite true. For al
though the French and British high COM
missioners. while expressly disclaiming
ownership exercise joint control over the
group by virtue of the Anglo Franco con-
vention OF October. 1906. yet there is never
theless one small island which belongs out
right to Great Britain-which is as much
British soil as is, say. the Isle OF Wight.
1t is situated in South West bay. Male
kula, is of considerable height. although
only few hundred yeards in circumfer-
ence and the story Of its acquisition is an
amusing one.
South West bay has always been consid-
cred the best place in the Islands for tar

the group. and this small islet was used

GENERAL WAR THREATENS
COMIC OPERA COUNTRIES ABOUT
TO MIX IT UP.
State Department Believes Reports
From South America, Via Mexico,
Grossly Exaggerated.

The news from Mexico Of an impending
conflict between all of the Central Amer
ican states except Costa Rica was received
here with surprise and incredulity, for up
to this moment all of the advices which
have reached Washington from that quar-
ter Of the world have been to the effect that
the asperities caused by the latest Mica
raguan attack upon Acajutla, Salvador. had
been smoothed down under the combined
influence of the governments of Mexico and
the United States. Indeed. 1t was the be-
lief of the State Department officials here
that arrangements were about to be per-
fected for a conference in Washington next
| fall or winter of delegations from the Cen
| trail American states, the only obstacle be-
| ing the reluctance of each of the parties to
| take the initiative in asking for the con-
! ference.
Only yesterday the State Department re-
ceived a cablegram from Minister Lee at
Guatemala City. saying that Guillermo
Aguirre, the minister Of finance of Guate-
mala. accompanied by Senor Mato and an
, other official, had just left that city for the
city of Mexico for the purpose of meeting
| Secretary Root on his approaching visit to
! that city.
| 1t is understood that this Guatemalan
| delegation is clothed with full powers to
! represent their government In the effort TO
! improve the relations between Guatemala
and Mexico, which have not yet recov-
! eyed from the strain to which they were
! subjected as a result Of the refusal of
President Cabrera to surrender to Mexico
! for trial the alleged instigators of the as
| sassinaton Of the late Gen. Barillas.
All official statements here relative to
| Secretary Roots projected trip have been
! to the effect that it is to be absolutely dis
connected with politics. but 1t Is scarcely
| expected that he would decline to meet the
Guatemalan delegation in view Of his freely
| expressed desire to use his best efforts to
preserve the peace in the south. For the
same reason. If the meeting takes place.
and war has not in the meantime broken
out between the Central American states,
| 1t is probable that Secretary Root would
| feel 1t his duty to pass beyond the simple
question of the relations between Guate-
mala and Mexico and endeavor to impress
upon the delegation the wisdom of con-
! serving the peace with their other neigh
bors.

BEANS AS FOOD.
Have Great Value-Wi1 Figure More
as Meat Figures Less.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
This country raised I.O6i,S44 bushels of
baans in 1900 and devoted 453, ,S67 acres to
their cultivation. That is at the rate or
little over eleven bushels to the acre, OF
a little less than the average yield LOT
wheat the country over. New York state
raises more beans than any other state ex-
cept Michigan, and California Is third In the
list. Roughly speaking, New Yorks bean
belt Is the western half of the state.
Here as in Michigan beans have partly
taken the place of wheat as staple crop.
They have proved more remuneratlve AID
they have had the additional recommenda-
ton of improving the fertility OF the SOIL
through their ability to gather nitrogen
from the air. AS paper prepared by L.
c. Corbett for the Department OF Asri-
culture remarks, it is the bean pecuiar
distinction to provide food 1or oolh ma,
and beast, and at the same time to improve
the soil Ihat makes it invaluable In a
scheme of crop rotation
To the average American, beans mean

THE SHIPS MUSIC.
Custom Of Band Playing Aboard origi.
mated by Germans.
From ShippIng Illustra ted.


The custom of band playing on merchant
ships originated on the German liners An
ernoon concerts were given by improvised
bands, generally recruited In the stewards
department, and the same Hans who had
split sauce on the lapel of ones coat at
breakfast could be seen earnestly blowing
the trombone while the band was numbering
Hell dir In Slegeskranz" or a selection
from "Freischutz." These primitive musical
attempts have progressed like everything
else, and today professional orchestras are
by no means uncommon on passenger
steamers.
The most conservative of British lines
has been obliged to follow suit, and very
soon 1t will be impossible to escape from
this flood Of harmony on the broad Atlantic
as it Is now to find actual rest. and for q
week at least remain out of the reach of
Wall street news. Whether this evolution
of the steamship into a floating hotel, with
all the discomforts of the latter. well
as its advantages, constitutes real i'm
provement remains as yet to be proved. i he
question may be asked in all seriousness
whether steamship companies are not now
giving their patrons more than they really
expect for their money, and certain 1t is
that there are maryland among these gen.
uine lovers OF music-who would prefer to
ca. their dinner in peace and silence.
1t IS SAID that music as q feature or the
dining room has become in vogue owing
to the prevailing dullness of the present
age. Conversation is lost art and moth
ing better than music could be found to
enliven the atmosphere while all are main
tanning awkward silence. To the few,
however. who need the spice of agreeable
talk to facilitate digestion music at table
is a positive nuisance. The man making a
trip to Danish unpleasant memories from
his mind will not take kindly to the heart
rending notes of Il Fhglacci' or to
Schuberts "Serenade." The fighty music
of Puccini may become perfectly abhorrent
to him who has just been apprised by wire
less of enormous financial losses. while the
inexperienced, making his first rip, who
may be thinking of 1.-The girl he left behind
him. will become unnerved when the
chestra unfeelingly reminds him lat la
donna e mobile In short, music should be
restored at to what 1t originally was
Nothing Is better than an open-air concert
on the boat deck on a calm afternoon, bat
let the atmosphere OF the dining room At
least remain free from all melody save that
produced by the clnking of glasses, the
popping of corks and the soft murmur that
rises over an assemblage of well-bred folks
gently conversing.

ITALY'S NAVY.
Now Battleships of the Dreadnought
Type.

Frou the London Chronicle.
The Italian admiralty has drawn up a bill
asking for credit to the extent OF GS-
eooOOO for the construction of four new
battleships. loosely described as Dread
noughts There Is good reason. however
10 believe that the vessels about to be
commenced will be a considerable advance
on the British ship.
Their design Is due to the famous chief
constructor of the Italian navy, Col Cuni-
beYti
The cal!ber of the guns is believed to be
13S inches. the weight of the shot fired
from such guns being 1900 pounds. as COM
pared with $50 pounds of the Dreadnought's s
weapons The Italian vessel is to carry
eight OF these guns. 80 arranged as to
obtain the fullest efficiency possible from
them
The main armament will be arranged In
the same way as that OF the new British
cruisers of the Inhexible class. There Will
be four turrets. one at each corner of a
Shombus two being on the center line OF the
ship. and one on either broadside. one near
fhs fore and one near the after center-l!ne
turret In this way II is possible for all the
guns to be brought to bear on either broad
side. and six ahead or astern.
Tie gun efficiency. with eight weapons ar
ranged in this way. is the same as that OBJ
faincd with ten mounted. as in the Dread
nought. apart altogether from the superior
