The statement that the married men
have won out in the series of ball games
that have been played is strictly true,
and can, we think, be substantiated by
the entire community. The challenge
for the game played on July 4th read as
follows: "the last of the series to decide
the honors." That challenge was &C
copied Internationally without pro-
test or demur, until after the game,
when we returned the lemon" Any
sporting authority, or the common sense
of the single men, will tell them they are
not entitled to another game. Any quack
can prescribe lemons and 'nervine" at
long range through the newspaper, but
he cannot always play ball, and would
appear to better advantage in some 9th
er role than as instructor in sporting
matters. IT there is anything more to
be said on the subject, we hope they will
come to our faces and say il. and spare
the public.

SALVADOR HOLDS
TWO AMERICANS
George and Edward Moissant, Former
Residents of California, Are Being
Tried as Result of RevoIu-
tonary Movement
By Associated Press.


SAN SALVADOR, June 22.-George
and Edward Mossant, American citi-
zens, who it Is alleged, with a number
of Salvadoreans conspired to capture
the barracks at Sonsonata as a part of
Potenciano Escalon's revolutionary
movement, are being tried for that Of
fenSe.
Mr.. Merry, the American minister,
addressed a communication to the gov
ernment regarding the case, threaten
ing a cessation Of diplomatic relations
and demanding an indemnity for the
arrest of the Moissants. The minister
of foreign relations denied the claim.
He has declined to refer the matter
to the Salvadorean delegation at Wash
irgton.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-The state
department today cabled an inquiry to
the American minister at San Salvador
respecting the reasons for the imprison-
ment in that capital of George and
Erward Moissant who are reported to
be American citizens. 1t is said they
were originally from California, but
have for many years been engaged in
business in Salvador, being connected
with one of the principal banks of that
country, and having other large inter-
ests in the country. The press reports
indicate that the Moissants have be-
come involved in the politics of Sal
vador and were connected with the
recent revolutionary attack on Aca-
Julia. On the other hand it is intimated
that their refusal to submit to that
Latin-American institution known as
the forced loan" is the cause Of their
persecution.

for a referendum vote by all local
unions before a strike is called, two

a strike may be ordered by any union
when three-fourths of its resident
members vote in favor of 1t and this
action is ratified by the executive board.
The constitution is also to be

NO WALkoUT EXPECTED IN

NORTH is SATISFACTORY

Business moving slowly. Serious

strike" is the report made by Western
Union officials last night.
1--WE are experiencing no trouble with
operators in any part of the country
excepting Oakland and San Francisco.
Oakland wires are manned and we are
sending to them. We are accepting
messages subject to indefinite delay
and at senders' risk" This is the way
a telegraph official put the case last
night.
No serious apprehension is felt that
the strike will reach Los Angeles. Both
company officials and telegraphers are
anxious to avoid a spread Of the
trouble.
An official of the telegraphers' or
ganization said last night:
1--WE are anticipating no trouble here.
The Oakland men seem to be accom-
plishing all that can be expected. The
grievance is there and the men are
fighting their own battle most admir-
ably. President Small is there on the
ground and all over the country tele-
graphers have confidence in him.
saw a telegram from him this afternoon
in which he said there was no signed
agreement between Commissioner Neill
and any official of the union and the
telegraph company. There was no
agreement and no repudiation. Col.
CloWry's letter was the only document,
and in that he promised to abolish the
sliding scale, thing he has heretofore
steadily asserted has not existed. He
also announced that hereafter the 10
per cent increase would apply to all
telegraphers This is interesting, in
asmuch as it has been claimed that the
increase had been given in every in
stance.
1--WE are in this affair in the interest
Of humanity. That eight hour day
looks good to us and I guess when the
smoke has cleared away we will have 1t.
"Those two carloads of strike break
ers from the east consists of just nine
telegraphers. They may be coming to
the coast on free transportation just
for an outing.
after Mr.. Small's arrival in San
Francisco a copy of Col. Clowry's let
ter was wired to him. The letter did
not contain any concessions, and he
could not see wherein there was any
thing to accept.
Commissioner Neil absolutely re-
fused to take UP the San Francisco
grievances, stating that on account Of
the condition of labor affairs in San
Francisco he N.ould have nothing to do
with it.
There is no misunderstanding be-
tween the members of the unions ex-
ecutive board. These printed reports
are evidently inspired for the purpose
of biasing public sentiment and to
create the impression that the men are
souabbling among themselves"

DENVER, Colo, June 22.-As result
of the work of the special grand jury
which closed it's sessions today and re-
ported to Judge Lewis about seventy
indictments against men prominent in
Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, New
Mexico, Nevada and eastern states, in
cluding Wisconsin and Missouri, were
returned principally for coal and TIM
Der land frauds, although few alleged
mining takers and couple of cases of
postoffice robberies were also included
in the list.
Judge Lewis absolutely refused to
give out any of the names of those in
dicted until arrests are made, but 1t is
known that several lumber company
men, high in social, political and finan-
cial affairs of Denver, have been in
dicted for alleged thefts of timber lands,
while their Intermediates, some of
whom are scarcely less prominent, are
also in the dragnet.
AS a result of the Routt county coal
frauds a coal mining company of Wis
consin will have to answer for alleged
thefts on a wholesale basis, and st.
Louis corporation is said to be indicted
for coal operations in Colorado. Other
states also are represented in the list of

ROADS AGREE ON
TWO-CENT FARE
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 22-Passenger rates
on all railroads of the United States
will be reduced to Q cents a mile. The
lowering OF the price and complete
abolition OIL the old 3-cent rate will be-
gin on July 1. This was the decision
reached in Chicago yesterday after a
long and heated discussion by the lead
ing railroad presidents of all the west
ern and transcoptinental roads. 1t was
not formal agreement, but is equally
binding, for two large roads doing a
transcontinental business are said to
have served an ultimatum to others
that they would put the rate into effect
Immediately.
Following the meeting of the officials
of the roads several admitted that they
had been forced to bow to public opin-
ion and anti-railroad legislation. They
said that no further fight would be
made on the 2-cent laws already passed
and that the roads would accept the
inevitable.

Statue in Commemoration of Great
Work of Former Secretary of
State Unveiled in DeIa-

WILMINGTON, Del, June 22.-In the
presence of the largest crowd that ever
assembled at public function in Della
ware, a bronze memorial statue to
Thomas F. Bayard, secretary of state
under President Cleveland, formerly
United States senator and the first
American ambassador to the court of
st. James, was unveiled here this after
noon with simple exercises. The alb
sence of Mr.. Cleveland, who is i'll,
caused much regret. He was to have
delivered the principal address. In his
absence the address was read by John
Bassett Moore of Columbia university.
Other participants were Judge George
Gray of the United States circuit court
and Bishop Coleman of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese Of Delaware.
The widow of the honored statesman
drew the cord which released the drap-
ing.
The memorial occupies a commanding
position at the entrance to Rockford
park. The location is a triangle formed
by three avenues and overlooks the city
of Wilmington, where Mr.. Bayard was
born and where he always lived.
The statue was modelled and cast in
England and was the gift of an un-

SAYS RAILROADS
MUST OBEY LAW
Former President Of Big Four Be-
IIeves Presidents Attitude Is
Becoming Less
Severe
Rx Associated Press.

BY ASSOC1aIeQ ETeScs
CHICAGO. June 22.-"What do
think of the railroad situation?" de-
manded M. E. Ingalls,, former president
of the Big Four, repeating the question:
"The railroads are looking up. The
reason is that the railroad people have
finally got so that they can wake up
in the morning and think of President
Roosevelt without having nervous dys-
pesia or stage fright, and that helps
a good deal"
Mr.. Ingalls, is spending a few days
with his son, George ingalls,, general
freight traffic manager of the New
York Central lines west of Buffalo.
''It was this way" continued Mr.. In
gals, "for some time the railroad men
were afraid the president was going to
swallow the railroads or confiscate
them. Now they are beginning to find
that it is not quite so bad as this and
more healthy condition is the result.
What do you think of the presidents
plan for the regulation Of the rail-
ways as outlined in his recent speech al
indianapolis?
How can we judge of it? He talks
both ways Evidently when he thought
Of Hartman he let a little vitriol flow
out of his pen and when he forgot him
his disposition toward the railroads
grew sweet.
80 you see you can take the speech
both ways if you are a railroad man,
but one thing is evident, and that is the
railroads have got to obey the law and
this will be good for them"
do you see any hard times headed
this way?" he was asked.
Cant say that do, but there will be
a general backing up of business every
where. This will not hurt the railroads,
however, as they have got more than
they can take care of now"

wife and Steve Adams, the books and
records Of the federation will probably
be produced.
Orchards testimony as to the al
legged intimacy of himself and the fed
Grafton leaders and his story of the
events at Cripple Creek, extending
from the first attempt at the Vindica-
tor down to the destruction of the In
dependence station. will probably be di-
rectlyl controverted by practically all
the men named by him. Many of them
are now here and they are expected to
take the stand and swear that he per-
jured himself There will also be
general showing that movements, acts
and attitudes of Haywood, Meyer and
Pettibone during 1908, 1904 and 1906
were largely at variance and strongly
inconsistent with the recital OF Or
chard.
Attack Bradley Story
. The Bradley story will be subjected
to severe attack and in this connection
the discrediting testimony of Bradley
himself will be used. There exists
was blown up by a gas explosion and
not by a bomb, and this will be used
to all possible advantage.
Orchards story about the letters con-
nected with the alleged plan to deceive
his wife will in all probability be di-
rectly controVerted ana generally dis
credited. There may be showing that
Orchard did go to Alaska. Marion
Moore will be witness for the defense
and II is understood that he will direct
lv deny that he carried Orchards let
ter to Alaska. The legal aid extended
to Orchard will be explained by a gem
eraI showing that it has ever been the
custom of the federation to provide
counsel for it's members.
II Is expected that Haywood will go
on the stand and there also will be
strong showing as to his character.
The defense has upward of 150 wit
nesses and it is estimated that it wall
take from three weeks to month to
present all of its testimony.

LONG BEACH, June 22-H. Douglas
Rodger, an 18-year-old youth who has
reputation throughout Southern Cali
fornia as a speedy roller skater, was
arrested here today on a warrant issued
by Justice Brayton.
The boy is charged with having OBJ
tained money under false pretenses.
Charles l.. Roberts, a pawnbroker,
signed the complaint. He alleges that
Rodger sold him the remains of a
motorcycle which he alleged were worth
$65, but which proved to be practically
worthless.
Rodger was admitted to bail in the
sum of $500 this morning. This was
furnished by his father, Prof. Jay G..

practically alone. His story as to the
Vindicator outrage Is in part support
ed by outside testimony.
The circumstances that have claimed
general attention are the showing that
soon after the Vindicator explosion
Orchard Joined Meyer as a bodyguard
and accompanied him on trip to
Southern Colorado, and the fact that
Orchard spent the. month of August,
1905, as a guest of Pettibone at the lat
ter's home in Denver.
Fails to Connect Haywood
The chief corroboration of Orchard s
testimony has been as to things he
did and the time and manner of their
doing, and it is contended by the de-
fense that aside from his testimony
there is not a single piece of inde-
pendent evidence against Haywood or
any fact that Independently connects
Haywood with the crime charged or
any other crime.
Counsel for Haywood will not outline
their defense until Monday morning,
but their course during cross-examina-
ton, particularly when they laid the
foundation for their impeachment OF
Orchard, and the personality of many
of the witnesses they have summoned
here, make their general course quite
clear. 1t is manifest that they VIII
endeavor to show that Orchard killed
steunenberg to be revenged for the
loss of the Hercules mine, and several
witnesses will swear that they. heard
Orchard tell the Hercules tale and
VOW that he would kill Steunenberg.
They will probably show also that
Jack Simpkins was prisoner In the
"bull pen," where a negro thrust
bayonet into his chest circumstances
that gave the two common cause
against Steunenberg.
There will likely be a showing that
all of the financial relations of Hay
wood and Simpkins came in the natural
and regular course of conducting the
business affairs of the federation. IN
this connection as well as to the grants
of money and food to Orchard and his
