Representative from locals, includ-
ing the switchmen, fagmen, conduc-
tors, brakemen and yardmen of AZ big

secret session at a hotel and the order
of the meeting was expressions Of the
belief that a strike can only be avert
ed by the railroads granting the de-
mands. Every system west Of Chica
go is affected. The men demand II
per cent increase and an agreement
for nine hour day for trainmen and g
10 hour day for all other employees IL
the unions.
Reports from every local show {
practically unanimous vote to strike

roads under fire employ $4,000 mem
bers of the two orders. Labor Leaders
declare refusal to grant the demand
will also precipitate q fight between
the roads and the fremen, 10000 il
number, who are only holding bac
demands for Is per cent increase an

; between the roads and their trainme
may be adjusted. If the trainme

ski Russian Pole and an alleged
member of the royal family, was killed
at the Ajax restaurant, in the heart

The killing was most dramatic. The

when Hines entered. Walking directly
up to the count he drew a revolver
and fired five shots into the Russians
body, all of which took effect. The
count fell lifeless and the woman
famed. AS calmly as If he were
about to revel at a banquet table,
Hines laid his gun on the table and
mounted a chair. Listen, friends,
he said. 81 have been tracing this
man for months. 1 have come 1000
miles to kill him. He is dead at your

CALIFORNIA FLOODS BAD.
No Relief From Serious Situation Is
in Sight.

Sacramento, Cal, March 26.-Re-
ports from the down river islands were
discouraging. The situation was pro-
nounced as most desperate. Two feet
of water was flowing through
streets of Isleton and CORTLAND repre-
scented that it was feared the Pierson
district would be gone BEFORE morning.
Communication was cut off with Free
port and Walnut Grove, and it is
thought that there is a change for the
worse all the way from Freeport to
sherman island. Everywhere the farm
ers are fighting against the highest
water ever known, and the prospect is
for the complete inundation Of the
island country.
1t will be many days before traffic
to Portland can be resumed, as there
is a bridge out above Redding, and
several washouts.

like gold, It's branches like silver and
its leaves emerald.
