San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The strik-
ing carmen's boycott of those who
ride on the cars, has apparently TAX
en- new life. 1t has been empha-
sized, perhaps, by the injunction pro-
ceedings brought by James H. Aver,
proprietor of saloon, against well
known labor leaders to restrain them
A temporary injunction has been CIV
en-.
The carmen do not appear to be
enforcing the boycott north of MAR
ket street, but several south-of-Mar-
ket-street stores have been made to
feel the full weight of it.
For example, Lippman Bros, who
conduct a department store at the
corner of Twenty-second and Mission
streets, found the other day that
pickets were parading in front of
their store telling passsrs that clerks
in the establishment were permitted
to ride on street cars, and requesting
that the store be not patronized This
boycott was eventually raised by the
promise of member of the firm, that
not only would he refrain from riding
on the cars, but that his help should
not ride. Several days after pickets
again appeared at Lippman Bros,
went through the store and pointed
out four poor girls living far away,
who they said had ridden on the
cars since the peace had been
patched up and threatened that un.
less they be discharged the establish
ment would again be pickete3. The
four girls were discharged.
The Mission Department store, on
Mission street between Twenty-sec-
ond and Twenty-third, has had a
somewhat similar experience Men,
representatives Of the Garments un.
ion, called at the store, picked out a
girl whom they charged with having
she be discharged. The senior pro-
prietor of the firm refused point
blank to discharge the young woman.
pointing out that she was the sole
support of her mother, that she lives
far out in the suburbs, and that the
only way she can go to and from her
work Is by the cars. But the prom.
Use Is alleged to have been given that
no other clerk in the establishment
should ride. Nevertheless, one of
the clerks did ride. and he was a rel
ative OF one of the proprietors az
that. Complaint was made against
him by the carmen and he was dis.
charged
1t is unquestlonably true that cow
ardly merchants continue in fear OF
the boycott and that many of them,
when they ride at all, dodge round
corners TO do 1t.

Anderson dead In bed in his room.
There was nothing in the room to in
icate that he had committed suicide
and then the murder theory was ad-
vanced. District Attorney ]. Henry
Bennett and Coroner w. w. Dunlap
were notified and after looking over
the situation they decided to hold an
inquest. Drs. Trobridge and Morley
of Viroqua and DR.. Schee of Westby

was due to alcoholic poisoning and
this was given as the verdict by the
jury. 1t also developed in the inquest
that Anderson had been drinking heav-
lily recently.

The ceremonies were brief, but none

Oh the steps of the monument. Inter
spersed with them and in striking
contrast to their plain blue uniforms
and battle flags, were the scarlet

But by far the mightiest part of
the assemblage was the multitude
which banked Niagara Square and
the approaching thoroughfares as
far as the eye could see.

Conductors report that the business on
all lines has been very heavy during

AS an illustration it can be said that
the northern division train ON the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road,
Saturday afternoon carried out of Mil

the heavist loeds ever carried by that
train outside of an excursion business.
But more than this, it is claimed all

that never in their history have any

pecially since the 2-cent fare went into
