BIG ROW ON BOARD

fRv the Associated Press.

SAN DIEAO,, Cal, August As
a result of a feud of long standing
between some of the men and several
petty officials of the steamer Mis-
sourian, Thomas Broody, petty Off
GERS, is laid up with three broken
ribs, Ben Paige is also laid up with
battered face, and John M. Nc
Gowan and John Busherman, two
sailors, are in jail for assault, while
several others are being looked for
and will be arrested if they return
to the state, which they will probably
do, as they still have their effects and
pay here.
The trouble began soon after
leaving Salina Cruz on her way up
the coast, and there have been vari-
GUS forms of trouble as the days
passed, eliminating last night about
midnight when the petty officers
passed a saloon, where number of
sailors were drinking. 1t did not
take long for the two crowds to get
together, and half dozen or more
went away with bruised faces. This
noon the row was resumed on board
the ship, and word was sent to the
police for help in quelling the riot.
Two officers went down and arrested

S. P. BOILER MAKERS
WALK OUT IN CALF.
TROUBLE CAUSED BY AN ABUS-
I'VE FOREMAN IN LOS
ANGELES.
(By the Associated Press. }

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, August T.
A strike of the boilermakers, which
affects all men employed in this ca
pacity throughout the Pacific system
of the Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany, went into effect this afternoon,
when, at o'clock, less than half a
hundred men employed as boiler
makers in the local machine shops
dropped their tools and left their
work in response to the general Or
der of the strike committee of the
Boilermakers' International union.
The strike has been anticipated for
several weeks, and last night ]. H.
Small, general superintendent of mo-
tive power and machinery of the Har-
riman lines arrived here in his pri-
vate car. At 4 o'clock, one hour
after the strike was called, the griev-
ance committee of the local union
went into conference with Mr.. Small
and remained two hours in session
behind closed doors. When they
emerged neither Mr.. Small nor any
of the committee would commit
themselves, but it has been learned
that the two parties to the confer
ence were unable to reach an agree
ment Mr.. Small will leave for San
Francisco tonight
The primary cause of the walkout
is not definitely known, but it has
been asserted that it has to do with
the failure of the company to re-
move an alleged abusive foreman in
the Los Angeles shops.

SITUATION
IN EASTERN COURTS
(By the Associated Press }

NEW YORK, August IF John
Armstrong Chanler, the wealthy
New Yorker who escaped from an in
sane asylum in this state several
years ago and fled to Virginia,
where the courts decided him sane,
comes back to New York to prosecute
suit which he instituted to get con-
troll of his property, he will do so at
the risk of being reincarcerated as a
lunatic, according to a decision by
Judge Hough in the United States
Circuit court today. Chanler, who
is the divorced husband of Amelie
Rives, the authoress, was adjudged
insane in the supreme court in this
city and committed to an asylum. T.
Sherman was appointed as a COM
mittee to take charge of Chanler and
his estate. Later Chanler escaped to
Virginia. He invoked the aid of the
courts, which declared him sane and
competent to have control of his
property. The latter, however, be-
ing still in possession of the supreme
courts committee of the state of
New York, Mr.. Chanler brought suit
in the Federal court of this district
to force Mr.. Sherman to restore to
him his estate. Fearing that if he
returned to prosecute his action he
would be seized and again remanded
to the insane asylum, Mr.. Chanler,
through counsel, last week petitioned
Judge Hough to grant an order re-
straining the Supreme court and its
officers from interfering with him
should he appear in New York. This
Judge Hough declined to do in his
decision handed down today.

This time we shall go farther

rectly north, will head northwest,
thus getting the benefit of the est

Another change is that we will
have stronger advance party than

ready for the final dash there will be
sledges and supplies enough. Last
time there was not enough to load
five sledges."

Short Notice.

Will BE Confined to the

GRIEVANCE OF LOCAL NATURE
(By the Associated Press. }

LOS ANGELES, August Fol
Union telegraph officials to reinstate
a discharged operator, nearly seventy
members of the Los Angeles local of
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
of America walked out of the operat-
ing department at 1870 o'clock this
afternoon. At $3.50 O'Clock there
and a block away, in the Hollenbeck
building, over fifty operators were
holding meeting to decide upon fu-
ture action. According to an unoffi-
cial statement by the striking en-
ployes, there is absolutely no pros
pect of the men resuming work be-
fore tomorrow. and even then their
return is said to be more than prob
lematical The men declare their in
tention to make the reinstatement of
the discharged operator the issue.
District Superintendent F. H.
Lamb, half an hour after the men
had walked out, said to the Asso-
ciated Press
"This afternoon the men walked
out without previous notice. That is
all care to say at present. l have
had no requests for negotiations, and
I cannot assume any connection be-
tween anything that has happened
and the walkout of the men,"
Late tonight Superintendent Lamb
of the Western Union gave out "a
second statement. He listened to
the statement made by the operators
and then said:
''It's a tissue of lies. I have re-
ceived no petitions and no requests,
except a petition for the reinstate-
ment of Ryan, which I received at 4
o'clock this afternoon. I had taken
no action on this and given no reply
when the men walked ont. I have
not been interviewed by the chair
man of the chapel and don't know
who he is.
Ryan was discharged for deliber-
ately delaying messages. Two d.
vision chiefs in Oakland who were
watching, satisfied themselves that
he was delaying business and his dis
charge followed.
This morning I had talked with
Ryan, and I suggested to him the
manner in which he could reopen his
case-through the chief operator.
When he left me thought he would
pursue that course. If any man in
our employ has a grievance he can
come to me and will hear him. The
men know this. But / have not seen
any man representing union, and
will not see any man representing q
union"
At 1880 O'Clock tonight twenty OPP
orators were at work in the operat-
ing department. Three of these
were women The assistant superin-
tendent, manager and other officials
were at the key, and pickets at the
entrance to the building stated that
two railroad telegraph. officials mad
been pressed into service.
President w. M. Wootten OF Los
Angeles local said:
'It is greatly to be regretted that
the men took such hasty action in
this case The operators, however,
were unable to resign themselves TO
the apparent discrimination as be-
tween one more or less incompetent
in San Francisco and a number IN
the Los Angeles office of unques-
toned ability, and the walkout re-
suited.
'I have reported particulars Of the
case to National President Small In
