SITUATION MORE ASSURING
Efforts to Adjust Industrial Troubles
at San Francisco

San Francisco, May 10.-The. local
situation involved by industrial
troubles and particularly by the strike
of the employees of the United Rail
roads, which has already led to Sc
rious rioting, looks more assuring.
The police have shown that they are
fully competent to cope with the mob
of strikers and their sympathizers and
it does not appear at all likely that
the aid of the militia will have to be
invoked. In the meantime concilia-
tory committee is at work trying to
settle the various strikes and to pre-
vent further. disturbances caused by
industrial differences. The committee
of fifty which took charge of affairs
during the recent disaster is again
actively engaged in an attempt to
bring about peace. It is thought that
the telephone strike is now in a fair
way to be settled without much fur

One remarkable thing about the
new law" said Assistant Secretary
Wilson, lis that only 1 per cent OF the
100000 soldiers who have applied for
pensions under the McCumber act
were not already on the pension rolls.
In other words, only $500 of the applf-
cants were, not already drawing pen
sions under some other law. This sur
prised the pension officials. We
thought there were at least 10000 old
soldiers not on the rolls who would
apply for a service pension. But up
to date not one-tenth that number

Silence and Science.

Before it was determinetlscie
ally that smoke is waste, smoke was
fixed as the final indication and proof
of prosperity. Today a ~smokeless
chimney means nothing less than
thrift and good management. Similar
ly we now hear that noise is proof Of
urban life, progress and activity. We
may answer that noise is loss as surely
as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort
is loss and noise decreases comfort.
Disturbed minds are loss through re-
duction Of mental force. But these
and similar consequences are Indirect
loss. There is direct loss also. A rat
ting car means worn bearings and
short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail-
roads would not spend so much on
their roadbeds, and they would run
trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free
Press.

THOUSAND MEN OUT
Both the Longshoremen and the Ship
ping Companies Determined in
Their Positions and an Early End Of
the Trouble Seems Unlikely.

New York, May 1O.-The gravity In
the longshoremen's strike grows with
the hours. This is principally because
he congestion of freight is becoming
rapidly greater, the total monetary
loss being reckoned at about 100000,
involving business in many parts OF
the country. It is also because an ele-
ment of the strikers seem to be ready
to resort to violence, as was manifest
when 800 Italian and Polish strike
breakers were surprised and attacked
by several hundred strikers and their
sympathizers in williamsburg and a
savage fight ensued in which stones,
knives and clubs were used and num-
bers Of persons were hurt, including
some policemen. Then again both
sides show ixity of purpose which
does not presage an early end of the
trouble. The strikers, who now mum
Der about II ,00G declare that they will
not yield unless their demands for a
higher scale of wages are granted and

insistent that no concessions will be
made by. them and that they will stand

that the heads of all those lines had

Steamer Baltic Goes Ashore Just Aft
err Leaving Port.
New York, May 10.-Passengers who
departed for Europe on the White Star
liner Baltic were doomed to spend
dismal day in the rain and fog off the
tip of Sandy Hook with the steamers
bow buried in the. mud. AS the Bal
tic went aground almost at high water
mark The task of getting her affoat
again is difficult one. Four tugs
strained for an hour in an effort eto
pull her off. Although they managed
to move her few feet it was not suf-
ficient to put water under Der keel
and the receding tide left her still
stranded.
Officials of the White Star line said
the Baltic went aground when taken
from her course to avoid collision
with an inward bound steamer when
the two ships came close together in
the fog.
The Baltic is resting easily and Of
ficials of the line expect she will be
foated shortly.

BURNS BROKE HIS PROMISE
Winner of Fight Admits He Agreed to
- Lay Down..

Los Angeles, Cal, May 10.-In a
statement Tommy Burns, the win
ner of Wednesday nights fight, de
clared that he promised to lay down
and let O'Brien win the fight. He said
there was no chance otherwise to get
O'Brien in the ring. He said he re-
solved as soon as the gong sounded
the first round to break his promise
and determined to go in and win.
GAS for the bets being called off, /"
said O'Brien," 1 was instrumental in
having that done for the protection of
the public. Itwanted to make this ex-
PLANTATION afterwards and I did not
want to see the public tricked into
losing any of it's money. The calling
off of the bets cost me $4,000, for I
stood to win that amount myself

Burns of this city was given the de-
cision over philadelphia jack
O'Brien in the twentieth round. The
bout was a ring-chasing affair with
O'Brien always in front. There was
little real fighting and the crowd
jeered the Quaker because he would
not stand up and fight his opponent.

ONE DEAD, MANY HURT
Suburban Passenger Train De-
railed Near Chicago.
TWO CARS GO INTO DITCH
Flames Break Out in the Wreckaee,
but Are Extinguished Before Reach
ing the Injured and Imprisoned oc-
cupants Of the Coaches.

SNR0IIIS VI the OOdCIlSSs
Chicago, May 10.-A suburban pas
senger train on the Burlington rail
road running between Aurora, ILL.,, and
Chicago was wrecked near Lawndale,
about six miles from the city. Mrs.
Mary Miller was killed and about
twenty persons seriously injured, at
least one fatally.
The train was running at va high
rate of speed when the engine struck
broken rail and leaped from the
track. After leaving the rails the en-
CINE slid along the track for fifty feet
and then overturned. It rolled down
the bank, dragging with it the first
passenger coach and baggage car. The
coaches in the rear left the rails, but
remained on the embankment. The
roof of the first coach was smashed in
and all of the passengers were in
jured more or less severely. The
wreckage caught fire, but the flames
were extinguished in few moments
by an engine company which reached
the scene of the accident within a few
minutes after it had occurred. The
steam from the engine burned some Of
the passengers, but the injuries from
this cause were not severe.
Mrs. Mary Miller, who was killed,
was the widow of Thomas Miller, for
merly freight traffic manager Of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road, who died eighteen months ago.
When the car overturned Mrs. Miller
was thrown between two seats and
the wreckage piled upon her. She was
conscious when taken from the car
and insisted that she was not badly
hurt. She died, however, just as she
was being carried into the hospital.

ITALIANS WORK FOR LESS
American Laborers Displaced at Nc
kinIey Monument.

A.. INiiISy
Canton, o., May 10.--There is trou-
BILE among the, workmen at the Nc
Kinley monument. A New York firm
of landscape gardeners, which has the
contract for identifying the grounds
at the memorial, brought in a gang of
Italians from Cleveland to take the
places of American laborers.
The American laborers have been
receiving 50 a day for nine hours
work. The New York firm wanted
them to work ten hours a day. The
men refused and the Italians were
brought here to take their places. The
italians work twelve hours day for
$1.75.
Representatives Of the American
Federation Of Labor point out that
American labor contributed a large
amount to the monument and Ameri-
can labor should have the preference
in the work.
