The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1907-08-01


There is little doubt that The
three happiest men in North Car
DINA this week are: Governor
Glenn, Judge Long and Editor
Daniels. Well, ito the vIctors
belong the spoil" aud it is Just
IS we'll to admit that this trio of
the States intellectual soldiery,
with the valuable aid of their able
counsel, have done more to bring
about this legal victory for the
State than all other agencies COM
bined. But for the brave and
persistent fight they have made
the Federal Judiciary would now
be in the saddle and the right of
the State to govern itself practi-
cally at an end.

Che railroad rate conflict beca

mas D00Q p0QQlnS SLICE
the railroad rate conflict became
acute ten days ago, when Judge
Pritchard, of the United States
Court, attempted to nullify an
act of State Legislature by releas-
ing two violators of the rate Law
and declaring the same unconsti'
tutional. He had not dared to
interfere in the Wake cases which
were disposed by brave Judge
Long, but hied himself back to
ASheville where two local agents OF
the Southern Railway were in the
custody of Buncombs county of
fcials, for violations of the same
law, and deliberately defying the
State courts, set them at liberty
by habeas corpus proceedings. He
went further and without hearing
evidence tending to show that an
enforcement of law would prove
confiscatory to the property of the
complaining railroads, declared
tbs penalty clause of the act un-
constitutional and that his court
had first Jurisdiction. The action
of Pritchard in reaching such a
conclusion, after continuing the
first injunction to a final hearing,
without any seeming warrant of
law, is not surprising. He could
not we'll afford to back down in
the face Of the position previously
taken, else his court should be
brought into disrepute. And, to
be sntirely(O consistent in main
tanning his dignity, the only con-
tingency left for him was to sus-
pend an act of q sovereign State
aud trust to Teddy'S protecting
care. The conduct of Prichard
was thought, at first, to coincide
with President Roosevelt's idea of

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS

A few days prior to the presidential
election Of 1904 Judge Alton y. Parker
impressively declared that the national
Republican committee had raised vast
sum Of money from the trusts and
great corporations, and that this
money was to be used in carrying the
country for Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt promptly and
emphatically denied the charge and
called upon Parker for the proofs.
Unfortunately Judge Parker was either
unable or unwilling to present the
proofs at that time, and the election
went by default to Roosevelt and Fair
banks.
Not long afterward the disclosures
of corruption in the great life In
surance companies revealed the fact
that those companies had contributed
more than one million dollars to the
Republican campaign fund.
The present controversy between the
president and Mr.. Hartman proves
conclusively that the railroads added
another large sum to the Republican
campaign, Hartman himself standing
sponsor for a quarter of million dol
lars.
Not only that, but the Hartman
controversy also illuminates the pages
of political history by disclosing the
fact that when Chairman Cortelyou
had utterly failed to fry out the fat of
the corporations, President Roosevelt
did not hesitate to besmirch his high
office by personally taking a hand IN
the game and persistsently tolling the
corporations along until they gave
up"
The American people may enjoy that
sort of a spectacle. At any rate, the
charge made by Judge Alton B. Parker
has been abundantly proven by the
march Of events. The Republicans
did raise a great sum for the campaign
of 1904 and President Roosevelt was
a party to at least a portion of 1t.
1t Is not a credit to Hartman that
he paid 1t, nor to Roosevelt that he
asked for it-but 1t was paid, and
Roosevelt and the Republican party
reaped the benefit.

FAMILY
STRUCK BY CAR
Woman's Shoulder Is Broken and
Man Is Bruised and Cut, but
Little Baby Escapes
Injury

While driving across the tracks near
the power house in Strawberry park,
about o'clock last night, e. f. Klein
meyer, a rancher, accompanied by his
wife and year-old baby, was struck
by an inbound San Pedro car of the
Pacific Electric Railway company,
and hurled to the side Of the tracks
The baby was tossed from it's mother's s
arms but escaped unhurt. Mrs. Klein
meyer suffered a fractured shoulder
and was severely bruised, while her
husband escaped with several slight
bruises and decorations.
They were brought to Los Angeles
on the car and taken to the receiving
hospital, where their injuries were at
tended
Mr.. Kleinmeyer said, in speaking of
the accident last night:
I'VE had been in Wilmington for
the day, where 1 had been attending
to some business, and were returning
to our home in Sunnyside.
LAS we approached the tracks 1
looked to see If there was any light
of a car coming in either direction,
which is the way 1 always do in cross
ing the tracks at night. AS 1 did not
see light nor hear car coming /

Suddenly my wife screamed we
can't cross L struck the horses with
the whip and after that 1 remember
nothing and suppose the car struck us
at that moment. Why the motorman
did not blow the whistle 1 do not
know, and he may have done so but
we failed to hear it. The first 1 knew
Of the approaching car was when my
wife screamed"
The injured people were taken on
the car and everything possible was
done for them by the passengers. The
baby was found lying In the road alb
solutely unhurt and only slightly
frightened.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kleinmeyer were able
to leave the hospital after their in
juries had been dressed.

MARGINS GOOD RECORD

Any other city in the United States
with twice the population of Los An
geles would hail with delight such a
building record as this city presents
for March. The record is something of
a disappointment here because it falls
short of the phenomenal squirt in March
of last year. But it is a splendid rec
ord, nevertheless, when all the circum-
stances are taken into account.
The total value of building authorized
by the permits for last month reached
we'll above the mark of one and quar-
ter million dollars and the number of
permits averaged about twenty-five for
every working day. The value far sur
passes the record for any former March
excepting that of last year. In order
to appreciate the good showing of the
March just passed, in respect to build
ing, we need only compare 1t with the
records for the same month during a
few recent years. The figure for 1905
was $1,176,165; for 1904 it was 1851 ,O29;
for 1903 it was SOIL, These years
represent the new era in building ex-
pansion. Prior thereto the figures look
quite small comparatively. In March,
1902, only 341 permits were issued, rep
resenting a value of $591, 337; in 1901 the
permit figure was 236 and of value,
$2S6,15 for 1900, permits. 166. and value,
$171, 1,75O.
The rapid gain in the last week of the
month just passed is a sure index of
the building expansion that may be ex-
pected henceforth. The only fairly good
weather during March was In the last
week, and the squirt of building projects
during that period, as shown by the
record, indicates the previous effects OF
the bad weather in retarding such
projects.
Assuming that April viii be favor.
able for launching building enterprises
of which there is not much doubt, E
splendid showing for the month may be
confidently expected. The danger OF
injury to structures in the early stage
caused by rain, accounts for the delay
in starting hundreds Of buildings fol
which preparations were complete
weeks ago.

sary now to send the volume of build

FINDS PORTION
OF TRUE CROSS
VALUABLE RELIC UNEARTHED
IN PLAZA CHURCH
Believed to Have Been Brought by
Padres and Hidden from
Indians During
Attack

Rev. Juan Caballeria, pastor of the
Plaza church, made a discovery while
recently experimenting alterations in
the sacristy of the old mission church
which he considers to be one Of the
most important in the history of the
this old church.
Father Caballeria said yesterday:
"A small cross, with the seals of
Rome and containing a small portion
of the real cross on which the Savior
was crucified on CalVarys hill, is the
discovery 1 have made. 1t was proba-
bly, brought to California in the early
days and either hidden before an In
dian attack on the church or put away
and forgotten by some former pastor
of the church. Many finds have been
made within it's precincts, but I con-
slider this the most important and will
have a shrine built for it at the altar
of the Blessed Virgin, where the sacred
relic will be publicly placed next Sun
day with elaborate ceremonies"
Within the past week Father Cabal-
leria has placed in the church several
old paintings brought to California by
the early missionaries, and which in
olden times adorned it's walls. The
Resurrection" a canvas 6X10 feet, has
been placed over the entrance to the
baptistry, while a painting of Our
Lady of the Holy Rosary" has been
placed over the entrance to the church.
An old statue of St. Thomas, of Span
ish carving, has also recently been
placed in the church.
For the sanctuary walls Father Ca
balleria is having painted large can
vas representing the Assumption"
and has recently had the painting back
Of the main altar retouched and two
kneeling angels placed near the main
altar.
Aside from these improvements
Father Caballeria has planned to
change the position of some Of the old
paintings, which will be seen to better
advantage in different light.

SEASON OF STRIKES

Strikes and lockouts are liable 10
occur at any time of the year, but
like some physical ailments they are
especially likely to appear in the early
spring period. Possibly there is SOME
connection between the willingness to
abandon work at this time and the
well known prevalence Of the ailment
commonly known as "spring fever"
April and May, particularly the be-
ginning Of each of those months. are
periods when strikes are OF most fro
quent occurrence. That results partly
from the fact that yearly agreements
between employers and workers usually
are made to begin and terminate in
the early days of these months.
From many sections Of the United
States we now have reminders that the
season Of strikes and lockouts is at
hand. 1t is noticeable also, that the
indications point to more than ordi-
na-y bitterness in the issues at some
points, with cause for fear that acts
of lawless violence may add to the
other deplorable consequences of such
ruptures.
In Toledo, for instance, a strike of
the machinists has reached an alarming
stage. Employers are introducing nom
union trike-breakers and arming them
for self-protection against assaults byI
the strikers. This recourse of arming
the new men has led to retaliation, asl
indicated in this declaration by al
leader of the former employees: we
are going to arm every man doing
picket duty, and every picket will be
Instructed to shoot If assailed or at
tackled by the armed guards of the
employers"
To the many woes of San Francisco
a series of early spring strikes ap-
pears to be developing. A condition
of widespread unrest prevails among
the trade unions. The garing graft
added to the other tribu-
lations of the stricken city, have had
a demoralizing effect all along the in
dustrial line. The laundry workers
have taken the lead in striking, but
there are fears that the strike infection
will spread rapidly causing a repetition
of such terrible scenes as San Fran
cisco people have cause to remember
and to dread.
Strikes are reported already at points
as widely separated as Alaska and
Alabama. In New York 10000 painters
are on strike for increased wages, and
the workers in other building trades
are expected to follow the lead. Points
in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and
other eastern states report strikes
either in progress or impending, and
even our Canadian neighbors up at
Vancouver are suffering a total sus-
pension of building operations because
Of strikes for higher wages.
There are no noticeable symptoms of
strikes in Los Angeles
this spring. The fact is recognized
among all classes of workers that
wages are exceptionally good in this
city and the prevailing opinion is that
it will be wise to "let we'll enough
alone"
