tiers have opened up in Mounts Aetna
and Stromboli, whose eruptions are in
creasing. The observatories of Messina
and Catania continue to register earth
shocks. The alarm OF the population
OF this island is growing, especially
around Mount Aetna. A portion of the
main crater Of Stromboli has fallen in
1t seems to have affected the sea, which
is much agitated near the island. Sci
entists have expressed the opinion that
possibly submarine crater may have
opened.

fxDerlmentaI Running of Car Shows
Larger Force Needed
Mayor schmitz, However, Declares
Department Is Competent to Cops
With Situation-MeanwhIse reop'e

car Service.

San Francisco, May 1.-The street
car strike has developed into fgnt 10
a finish. Neither side is willing TO ac-
cept arbitration and the citizens COM
mittees appointed to secure industrial
neace have been unable to find any
bas;s Of settlement 1t has been de-
monstrated that the present police force
ia inadequate and that stronger meas
ures will be necessary to insure q gen
eral resumption Of service, II the strug-
gle Is conducted on present lines.
The wish yesterday OF tie United
Railways officials was to run suing
of cars from the barn at Oak and Brod.
erick through the burned district and
north on Market street to the ferry
building, but the consent of the police
department could not be obtained. AS
a compromise two cars were run as lar
into the burned district as Larkln
street, being operated on Oak, stanyanr
Page. Devisadero and Suffer streets.
This route was covered twice. On the
first trip mounted police acted as OUT
riders, and more than score OF patrol
men rode in automobiles, but no vio-
lence was offered by the crowds.
On the second trip the mounted OH
GERS were withdrawn as an experiment
to determine the temper OF the crowds.
Missiles we're hurled from buildings
and several persons we're injured.
An assistant to President Mutually
said today he had several hundred
strikebreakers, motormen and conduc-
tors, quartered in the company's barns.
and that they are competent to operate
practically the entire streetcar system.
Mayor schmitz said the police depart
men sis competent to cope with the
situation" Chief of Police Oman said
his, men will preserve order. Mean
time the population Of San Francisco is
deprived of sreetcar service, and sub
jected to the alternative of walking OF
paying five prices for wagon service.
Reduced to an arithmetical aspect,
the problem is simply this: II 30 po-
lice are required to afford safe conduct
to two streetcars daily over Elk miles Of
track when no passengers are carried,
how shall 200 cars be operated in pas
senger traffic ever $50 miles OF tracks
with total force of only 700 police,
not more than half OF whom can be or
duty continually? That the running Of
two or three cars day may constitute
the entire stIeetcar service for city Of
300, 900 people for an indefinite time is
perfectly apparent unless an adequate
protective force is supplied.

San Francisco Scene Of Bloody Con-
f,lct Over Car Strike.


f,lct Over Car Strike.
San Francisco, May s.--Rioting py
st,eetcar strikers and their friends and
repeated fusiIlades OF bullets from
strjkebreakers yesterday marked the
rst attempt to run cars on the United
Railroads since the strike began The
,novement of q freight car from one
harm WAS the signal for obstruction OF
the track by mob and for shower OF
m issiles aimed at those who operated
the car. After running only hall q
h,ock the car was taken lack to the
barn.
Having thus made test, the COM
pany at $3.50 p. m. sent string Oh
seven passenger cars out of the Turk
and Fillmore street barns, manned by
armed strike breakers. Their appear
apce wac the signal for renewed rioting.
Brickbats, paving stones and all man
ner Of missiles were hurled at the cars
by a pursuing mob of several thousand
One of the guards on the cars retaliated
with shot, which hit it's mark. The
assault ON the cars became more furious
and the guards retaliated with several
fusillades, which caused the death o.
one man. wounded one fatally and IL
less seriously. After running few
blocks the cars we're returned to the
barn and the attempt to operate the
lines was abandoned for the day.
Union pickets went among the mob,
implorjng them not to throw stones.
They were jeered by union men and
sympathizers. The police with one
exception did not even draw their clubs.
The police did little to check the
lawlessness. They attempted to dis
suade the mob from violence. but only
two of them used force and they did II
so effectively that they cleared the way
for the cars for the time being. The
police arrested IS of the strikebreakers
for shooting, but made no arrests
among the mob.
That the many bloody events of yes
terday may be repeated with even more
tragic results was the fear expressed
last night when 1t was made known
that the United Railways program fol
today includes another attempt to re-
sumo the operation of its system. This
attempt, according to General Manager
Mullalley, will be made some time in
the forenoon. He declined to state al
what hour or to discuss the company'f
plans in this respect.

TAlPrY-Two ARE DEAD.


Santa Barbars, Cal, May 13.--While
hurrying northward over the Coast line
Of the Southern Pacific railroad satur-
day afternoon, homeward bound, after
a week OF fraternizing and fiesta in Los
Angeles, l46 shriners OF Ishmaell tenn
pie, OF Buffalo, and Rajah temple, OF
Reading, Pa, with their families and
friends were hurled into the midst OF
death when their special train, running
so miles an hour struck a defective
switch at Honda, lonely station on
the sand wastes OF the Pacific beach,
derailing the train, smashing the coach
o. into flinders, killing 80 almost in
stantly and injuring more than q score
Of others. The bodies Of FL lie in the
morgues OF Santa Barbara and 10 more
are at San Luis Obispo. The injured,
many OF whom are terribly hurt and
will probably die, are in two sanitari-
ums at San Luis Obispo.
There was no warning OF the inn
pending calamity. The special plunged
upon the defective switch, and in an
instant the big locomotive, baggage car,
diner and Pullman, coupled with it,
were hurled together in heap OF
wreckage. The engine shot forward on
the broken track, tearing up the rails
and ties and twisting the huge iron
spans into fishhooks. The baggage car
hall buried itself In the sand on the
right side OF the locomotive. 1t was
smashed almost to kindling wood.
The dining car, in which were 81
people eating their MONDAY repast,
leaped into the air and was thrown di-
rectly on top OF the demolished locomo-
tive. Nearly every person In this coach
was instantly killed. Scores were scald-
ed by steam escaping from disconnected
pipes In the kitchen Of the diner. The
terror and turmoil CT the scene were in
describable. Many of those escaped
instant death by the first impact were
crushed by the rear coaches hurled
upon the wreckage. Others, pinioned
In the debris, were roasted alive. The
wreckage caught fire from the Goals Of
the engine, but was extinguished in a
few minutes by the passengers who es-
capped injury.
