the relief train arrived at Sutton on the
way to the Shriner special wreck al
Honda Miss Maria Fuller, 10 years old,
1910 Burlington avenue, Los Angeles,
jumped aboard.
"I want to go with you to the wreck"
she Sid to DR.. A. w. Taylor, the South
ern Pacific division surgeon. who had
charge Of the train. She was going to
San Francisco with the Shriners, but
happily was with the Detroit, Rhode
Island, Boston and Hartford temples.
You can't CO." replied the surgeon
ten minutes later. When the train was
clipping miles at the rate of fifty an
hour wisp of dark brown hair blow
ing up above the front car platform
drew the attention of DR.. Taylor and
the conductor. A moment more and
they had dragged the girl from the ten
der brake beam of the speeding engine.
Brought into the car, Miss Fuller
smiled away the Doctors glowering
looks.

member of South Gate lodge Eastern
Star, and I'm pledged to give aid when
ever I can"
On the way back she did her best to
comfort Mrs. A. D. Wasson. whose
year old babe had been rendered father
less by the wreck.

waited for hours, while train after
train of Shriners bound from Los An
geles to their eastern homes, swept by.
In the darkness the occupants of these
trains did not know that they were
passing the funeral train of their
brethren.
The train was reported due to ar
rive in this city at 9 o'clock. At that
hour every dead wagon, together with
many other vehicles, were assembled
at the local Southern Pacific station to
transport the bodies to the morgue.
Three local undertaking parlors were
filled with bodies of the victims.
The work of Identification had not
yet been completed.
Many of the dead were so badly
burned and mutilated as to be almost
unrecognizable.
The undertakers' rooms were be-
sieged by crowds Of Shriners who were
still in the city.
By daylight all Of the dead had been
identified.

SOLDIER THREAT
SOBERS PEOPLE
FIFTY STREET CARS OPERATED
IN BAY CITY
United Railroads Head Says Only
one-Ninth of Normal Number
Of Coaches Is in
Service
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, May FIFTY
street cars were operated today from
10 o'clock in the morning until in the
evening over two of the twenty-odd
lines composing the United Railroad
system.
For the first time since the COM
mencement of the strike last Sunday
cars were run today to the ferries.
There was very little disorder during
the day in comparison with the five
days preceding. Thousands of persons
evidently regarded the published IN
functions ana warnings and remained
in doors, for the Sunday crowds were
much smaller than usual.
Unquestionably the firm stand taken
by Governor Gillett when he an
nounced through this mornings press
that he would judge the San Francisco
situation by acts of the people and
would not hesitate moment to call
out the militia If rioting should be con-
tinued, had SOLDERING effect on hun
dreds OF troublemakers whose acts of
violence made the history of the past
week a disgraceful and bloody one.
Five hundred police guarded the
streets through which the fifty cars
were run, but they had little to do.
Isolated instances of misconduct on
the part of the individual policemen
were noted, but on the whole the five
sevenths of tie entire force of the de-
partment gave adequate protection to
the two lines that were In operation.
On Market street letwe~n Third and
Fourth, union teamster purposely
blocked a passenger-.ad car and re-
fused to move off. Two police officers
were appealed to, but they replied con-
temptuously and turned their backs,
according to eyewitnesses.
At the ferry building a policeman
busted himself with boycott work, re-
quiring passengers disembarking from
the ferries not to ride on the cars.
Newspaper men who watched the po-
liceman say that when they questioned
him regarding his conduct he ordered
them to move c. and threatened them
with arrest.
The company's program for tomor-
row is to start cars on three or more
lines at a. m. and to continue the
service until p. m, If the police con-
sent.
Vice President Mutually says he would
throw open the entire system If Chief
Dinan would permit him to do so, and
as well; that he has the cars and the
men, but Dinan compels him to "go
SLOW"
The officials of the United Railroads
call attention to Dinan's statement
that he is able to protect the company's
cars and it's men, and cite in compare
so.i the fact that only one-ninth of the
normal number of cars are geing run
over only one-tenth of the system and
that service stops by police orders at
5 o'clock in the evening.

CHICAGO May 12.-Development of
a plan to cement 1000 telephone COM
panies of the United States and Can
ada into one gigantic organization Is
expected to follow the gathering In
Chicago next month of 1000 managers
and presidents of the interested COM
panies. The men will come as dele
gates to the convention of the Inter-
national Independent Telephone asso-
citation, to continue three days from
June 4, at the Auditorium hotel.
Independent telephone associations Of
thirts- states, with approximately
$3.50, 000, 900 invested, are to send dele
cations to the convention to urge for
ward the movement to unite.
Success of the movement inaugu-
rated means the building Of long eis-
tance telephone lines throughout the
country, giving unified toll service to
more than 100000 users of Independent
telephones. Ohio is leading the agita-
ton for consolidation, with 100000 in
dependent telephones in use. Indiana,
with 100000, is second. Other states
having complete organizations are:
alabama, Arkansas, California, Colo
rado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri,
Nebraska, New York, North Carolina,
North Dakota, oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Texas, New Hampshire,
Virginia Washington, West Virginia,
Tennessee and Vermont.
The call for consolidation has come
at the close of the most prosperous
year in the hiseory of Independent tele-
phony. Starting as a rural departure,
the independent telephone growth first
included only the smaller cities. Now
it is seeking entry to the large centers
Of population. Within the last year
nearly $100,0OO000 was expended in in
dependent plants. Denver, Omaha and
Milwaukee, in the west, granted fran
chises, while Boston and Providence
stand out as the leading eastern cities
giving the new system admittance.
Delegates to the convention will
hear reports that the independent tele-
phone organizations now practically
control the Pacific coast and that all
the principal cities of Oregon and
Washington have adopted the new sys-
TEN within the last few months.
Southern delegates will report that all
the Independent plants in Alabama
have been enlarged and that half a
score OF Tennessee cities. including
Nashville, are having exchanges con-
structe4.
Canada is expected to send $50 dele
gates to the convention. The high
j .nts OF interest in Canadian affairs
center in Ontario, where scores of new
companies have been organized. Mani
toba voters have obtained power from
the government to build a complete
long distance system and sixty mu-
inequalities will construct local ex-
changes The independent systems In
Manitoba and Alberta are to be con-
nected soon by long distance lines
through Saskatchewan.

SPOTTERS DECEIVED
When Conductors Didn't Ring
 Up Fares For Employees.

The inspectors of the Connecticut Co and all outside employees now ride on complimentary books in place of the passes which they hnd until recently. The tickets are in the blue books the same as used by the policemen. It is said that the change WAS made for various req sons. Often on a car there would be three or four employees who might not be known to the spotter who hap pened to be on. These employees would just slide their pass from their pocket and often 1t might not be seen by the spotter. The conductors never rang them up and consequent ly was always open to unwarranted suspicion on such cases. The con ductors now ring up the tickets coi- lected from the inspectors and out side employees.

.THOMASTON TROLLEY
Railroad Company Bought Strip
 From Engineer Cairns.

There was new move in the Thomaston trolley snarl to-day, but 1t doesn't straighten out all the kinks by any means. although 1t does show that Mayor Thoms ana his lieuten- ants know trifie more than Comp troller Bradstreet and Attorney Can field of the Thomaston Tramway Co would have the public believe. The strip of land in the highway between the town line and Hinchcliffe bridge to which Mir Cairns had acquired the title has been transferred to the N. r., N. H., & H. R. R. company on condition that the City of Waterbury shall enjoy the right to lay and maintain water pipes in and across 1t and that the city never shall be put to any expense in laying and main taining pipes in said strip by reason of any other use 1t may be put to. This secures the city so far as that particular spot is concerned, but 1t leaves the ownership of the balance of the rest of the street, about 1,700 feet long and different widths, re gently bought by H. s. Chase, still in dispute.
 Half the people in Waterbury don't understand what all this talk is about anyway, although 1t has been explained several times. Here it Is briefly: The city of Waterbury has a road from the town line to Hinch- cliffe bridge. It was laid out eight rods wide and while 1t may have been encroached upon from time to time the city cannot lose the right to use 1t because somebody else may have encroached upon portion of 1t. The city maintains narrow roadway in that strip, but 1t claims the right to widen the street at any time so as to take in the whole 130 feet. The Thomaston trolley company sets up the claim that all the city owns there Is the narrow spot included in the space worn in the ground by cart wheels, and without consulting any, body authorized to act for the city in that capacity 1t came along and com- menced to build trolley line on a portion of this old highway. Mayor AOiuo iCiu IhCih uP pOhulh6 q on the matter by the courts and when the question comes up the city ex- poets to be able to show that the land in question is public property. As- suming that the courts will decide in favor of the city the deed of the Johnsons to H. s. Chase and of R. A. Cairns to the railroad will not be worth the paper they are written on, but in case 1t should go the other way the precaution taken some time ago by the engineer to get deed of as much of the disputed territory as the pipe line passes through lets the water department out of the trouble anyway These differences may ap- pear trivial but they are important and should not be disposed of with out knowing where we are at. A strip of land 100 feet wide and HOO feet long in hustling town like Waterbury is worth something and If the mayor allowed 1t to be taken pos session of without reasonable com pensation in exchange thereof, every body in town would say he was- a mighty poor watch dog.

 Tomorrow morning in city court Emerson Wooding of Alder stree. will have to answer to the charge of keeping vicious dog. The case was to have come up this morning. but was continued until tomorrow. The canine of Weddings Is bulldog and recently is said to have almost chewed the body out of a dog owned Ey William Bowie. Bowie was pass ing along the roadway near Wood ing's horse and as his dog had on q previous occasion been attacked by Weddings terrier, he thought tha. he would proceed with caution. So he lifted bis pet and placed 1t on his shoulder. evidently thinking that by so doing he would avoid trouble with Wooding's bulldog. But. WOW, WOW! As soon as Weddings dog got his peppers on Bowie and his poodle he went at 'em as though he would eat 'em alive. He bowled Bowie over as though he were a pigmy ard then sharpened his teeth on the dogs back. It is said that he chewed Bowie's dog so savagely in the mix up the owner saw that 1t would never be the same. As he had expended money on the previous occasion to have the dogs injuries dressed, he thought he would bring the matter into court this time.

POLITICAL POINTERS
Town Committee Arranging For
 Holding Inc Primaries.

At a meeting of the democratic town committee last evening 1t was decided to open headquarters in T. H. Hayes building on East Main street Friday evening. It is expected on that night that the mayor and few other prominent men of the democratic organization will be present to make short addresses. Chairman James H. l Freney presided at last nights gath ering and stated that every day the chances for another victory this fall are improving.
 The committee is now arranging for the primaries which will be held on Friday, September 20. Those pres ent last night talked at length on voting machines and Chairman Freney with Tax Collector Reeves will call upon the mayor to see what can be done towards using machines for the primaries.
 The opening of headquarters will be something in the form of little rally and democrats from all parts of the city will be present to hear how things are going. The primaries this year promise to be rather lively al- though the fight in any of the wards will not assume the proportions of that of the republicans in the third. In the fifth there may be three tick cts, the Hurley, the administration of which Commissioner Griffin Is the leader, and one championed by Dan Foley. One of the candidates lately mentioned for the aldermanic chamber is Thomas Fenton, who has always taken deep interest in the municipal doings and who would be competent man to have in a seat among the chosen fifteen. Fenton would make valuable man for the eastern section of the city and if Alderman Noonan should be sent back they would make an excellent pair. Although 1t was understood that Alderman John Malone was to be thrown down for Dan" Mahaney, 1t is said that under the new plan now all three from the fourth will be sent back on the administration ticket. How much truth there is in this story remains to be seen, but whether it is Mahaney or Malone for ! Brooklyn that section will have a good representative. In case Mahaney should be spliced he is not likely to oppose the administration ticket in view of his recent utterances, neither is Malone, should he come out second best.
 One of the fights in the republican ranks which will undoubtedly cause much feeling is between Attorney z Joseph Reid and Thomas Dennison for the nomination of town clerk. Although Reid is admitted to be the stronger candidate, Dennison' s friends claim that the party owes the nomination to him. But the packers of Reid who has apparently the best chance of the nomination just at present maintain that the run he may make against Senator Hurley singles him out as the logical candidate. Either Is likely to be defeated in the advent of Town Clerk Brett being re- nominated which is almost certain ty. It is said Reid cou.d have had q couple of good jobs from the 6 p nabobs recently but he declined them as he had his eye on the town clerk nonnina ftou
