THROWN FLOWERS
WOMEN CHEER NERVE OF STRIKE
BREAKERS.


San Francisco, May 9.-Roses and
carnations, instead OF brick bats and
cobblestones, were features of todays
run of two cars Of the United Rail-
roads. manned by twenty strike-break-
ers from the car barns at Oak and
Frederick Streets, for a distance Of
three or four miles through the BUSH
ness and residence section of the West
ern Addition.
Stirred to admiration by the courage
of unarmed strike breakers in operat-
ing the two cars in the mob-crowded
thoroughfares, women along the route
stood on door steps or leaned from
windows and waved handkerchiefs,
clapped their hands, cheered and threw
kisses to the -unionists as the po-
lice-protected cars ran slowly by. On
the return trip on Sacramento Street,
near Preside Avenue, young girl ran
out from florists shop and tossed a
handful of bright red, long-stemmed
carnations to the platform of one of
the cars. Lifting their caps and smil-
Ing, several of the men leaned far out
and caught the flowers. The cars were
halted then while young women
brought clusters of carnations and roses
from the shop and offered them to the
men.
Soon every strike-breaker had a
flower in his coat. The extra ones they

along the sidewalks, reviling the car

accompanied the cars on their run, one

between Golden Gate Avenue and Meal

he pointed to a clean cut hole in one of
the ventilator windows of his car. The
program for toRorrow Is to run two
cars through more dangerous section
of the city than the Western Addition.
In this event, serious trouble is anti
cipated.
President Calhoun stated today that
he has corroborative evidence of rep

eye witnesses, that the first shots were
not fired from cars, but from the crowd.

A card sharp who is known to the
stewards of the great ocean liners a s
we'll as the professional gamblers are
known to the Tenderloin detectives
was a passenger on a ship which ar
rived last week. He received q line
at Queenstown, which had the effect
of keeping him out of the large games
in the smoking room. He contented
himself with pinochle and bridge at
twenty FIVE cents a hundred points.
On the evening before landing, one of
his bridge party, none Of whom knew
that he was a professional with bad
record, proposed changing the game to
poker ITS bad practice" said the
card sharp, ito play poker with stran-
gers. There's too much risk, but it's
all right in this case" The others
said there was no risk If man had
good sense and kept his eyes open.
The deal fell to the professional and
when cards had been drawn by each
man he said Now I'll show you how
much you know. Mr.. A. you have the
winning hand; Mr.. B. your three
queens look good, but what show
have they against Mr.. C's four fives?
And what good are they against AS
four kings? Does it tally?
1t did, and A said, Well, it's my
pot"
II was afraid that might happen, so
I dealt myself a straight flush" He
showed 1t, arose from his chair and
said: Give the steward what l put in.
This was an object lesson don't play

Great Britain VIII Not Submit Its
Disarmament Proposition.

DISARMAMENT FFOpOStthVns
St. Petersburg. May 9.-The nego-
tiations between the powers on the
subject of the program of the peace
conference at The Hague are again in
an interesting stage.
Tt is believed in diplomatic circles
that a definite change of attitude on
the part of Great Britain towards the
question of discussion of the limita-
ton of ornaments is contemplated. 1t
is not expected that Great Britain will
withdraw entirely her proposal to dis
cuss the Limitation of ornaments, but,
that, by a modification of both the sub
stance and the manner of the presen-
tation of the subject she will enable
1t to be gracefully shelved by the con-
ference without placing any of the
powers in the embarrassing position or
opposing it or abstaining from Its dis
cussion.
The ambassador of a leading con-
tinental power. in expressing the hope
that such action may be taken, said
that otherwise most serious difficulties
would be scarcely averted. 1t is con-
sidered significant that a special dis
patch from Rome, published here with
the approval of the minister of foreign
affairs, states that Italy has not yet
reached a definite accord with the 9TH
err two members of the triple alliance
in regard to the proposal to discuss
the limitation of ornaments, consid
ers herself absolved from her earlier
declaration in favor of the British po-
sition by Germany's refusal to partic-
ipate In such a discussion owing to
the absence of the soliditary on the
part of the other powers.
Signor Tittoni, the italian foreign
minister, is expected next week.

AN oDDITY AMONG NAILS.
whose Use Turned Out to be Quite
Different From What Had
Been Expected.

A man who had often seen on the
side of a buildin gthat ne passes III
his rounds a sign reading cement
Coated Nails, and who had wondered
what cement coated nails could be
used for and made UP his mind that
they must be for use in wharf puiId-
ing or something like that. under wa
ter. where the cement on them would
protect them against rust. learned
upon inquiry that the cement on the
nails did indeed have a protective pur-
pose; but this purpose turned out to
be one quite different from that which
he had imagined.
For the coating on cement coated
nails is designed not to protect the
nails themselves. but the goods In the
boxes in which the nails rlay be driv-
en-: and this in manner that to the
man of inquiring mind seemed quite
novel and remarkable.
The cement coated nail Is wire
nail In these days there are more
wire nails used than cut nails, be-
cause wire nails are cheaper; they
cost about the same by weight. but
there are more wire nails to the pound.
and so wire nails have come into
widespread common use for many
purposes, one of them being found In
the mailing together of many sorts of
boxes.
A wire nail can be drawn more cas-
lily than a cut nail and so with less
likelihood of injury to the box, and
this might seem as only another rec
ommendation of the wire nail in such
use, as it reasonably might be IL one
of the chief considerations were the
preservation of the box; but the pri-
mary consideration is, of course, the
protection of the box's contents, and
here is where the cement coated nail
comes In, and in the manner that SEEM
ed novel and remarkable.
with time and the opportunity the
cover of a light box wire nailed could
be lifted and replaced and the nail
redriven without showing any marks
on the box, and thus there was the
of the abstraction of goods
from such boxes in transit. For in
stance, a pair of shoes might be taken
out of a shoe case, and the cover put
back withot showing any signsof tam
perinG. And with this requirement for
1t along comes the inventor of the ce-
ment coated nail, which is simply a
wire nail covered with very thin
coating of material that makes the
nail once driven, stick so tightly that
not only does It hold more secure. but
it can't be drawn without marring or
breaking the box.

WOMAN WAS KILLED.


Chicago, May 9-One woman was kill

the Burlington road. Mr.. Miller died
eighteen months ago.
The train was made up at Aurora, Ill,
and consisted of four cars, all well filed
with passengers. The cause of the acci-
dent is not known, but 1t is believed to
have been the spreading of the rails. al

badly crippled. Throughout the day

Columbus, Ohio, May 9.-Chairman
Arthur Ivorys. the manager of the TAFT
forces In Ohio. gave out the following
staement today:
"All over the country the Taft sent

clouded by a notion. outside of the
State, that he would not get the solid
support of Ohio. The purpose of his
friends In agitating now the question
of the choice of Ohio Republicans for
the Presidency was to dispel that no
tion for they confidently believed that
in some way 1t would be demonstrate
ed that the Republicans of Ohio are
for Taft for President Roosevelts sue
cessor.
"The events of the past few weeks
seem to have eliminated today In the
voluntary withdrawal without stipula-
ton of all opposition and.in the com
,plete demonstration that the Repuoif-
cans of Ohio are solidly for Taft Tor
President and the movement VIII go
forward now with every prospect OF his
nomination" :,
