Break off all Negotiations
With Company.
MARCH THROUGH CITY
HEADED BY BRASS BAND
Bread and Butter. Nothing More
Nothing Less" Is Cry
of Strikers.

Salt Lake City April 29.--Ali nego-
tiations between the Utah Light and
Railway company and It's striking
motormen and conductors have been
broken off and what promises to be
bitter contest Is now on. All at
tempts of the company to run a few
cars on Main street this morning
caused a repetition OF disorderiy
scenes of yesterday. but no one has
been seriously injured. The company
expects to bring a carload of strike
breakers from Oregon tonight.
The strikers themselves did not
take any part in the disorders The
leaders OF the disturbances were
idlers, many OF them being half
grown boys.
The only demonstration made by
the strikers was a parade in which
over 500 men took part Headed by
a brass band they marched through
the principal downtown streets. The
marchers were cheered all along the
line. They bore banners reading:
Bread and butter IS the issue--noth-
ing more, nothing less"
The electrical workers. who are al
so employed by the Utah Light COM
pany, will submit an ultimatum to the
company this afternoon. They Will
not only demand an adjustment os
their grievances. but will inform the
company that unless settlement IL

electrical workers will go out In SYM
pathy. If they strike the city's source

TEXAS LIFE INSURANCE
MEN ON THE I'm
EASY SEAT
Lone Star State Laws Are too
Drastic for Them Accord
ing TO El PdSO Agents.
W. E. NEAL GOES
TO PASS CITY

Ell Paso, Texas. April 29.-"There
are many insurance men in the field
who are spending some uneasy mo-
ments as to their future work" said
a well known insurance man yester-
day. 'The law recently signed by the
governor regarding investments of
foreign companies within the state
Hfll undoubtedly mean the withdraw
al from Texas of all the foreign COM
panies in the field here. The COM
panies cannot and will not comply
with the Robertson law, and they will
so and abandon any future Texas bus
mess.
81 am building a house here in Ell
Paso," he continued, but If my COM
pany withdraws, which l believe 1t
will. / will have no use for it,"
At the offices of the Missouri state
Life Insurance company it was stated
that they had as yet received no ad-
vices from the home office and that
the general agent, Mr.. Pandolfo was
absent on a business trip in Arizona,
but that from the statement of the
law it seemed very probable that the
Missouri State would withdraw, as
the law of Missouri under which the
company was chartered provided that
the company must make special de-
posts of securities with the state of
Missouri and further deposits from
time to time, so that the value of the
securities deposited shall always be
equal to the actual value of the poll
cies or bonds issued by the company
This statute. it was stated, would
prevent the Missouri company from
complying with the Robertson law,
for to follow that statute would be
in direct violation of the laws under
which it received its charter from
Missouri.
1t is stated that the Union Central
Life will open headquarters at Dallas,
but whether this movement was ar
ranged before the Robertson bill be-
came a law is not known. Mr.. w. L..
Neal is to take charge Of headquarters
there.
While most of the insurance men
i'm the city have not as yet been fully
advised as to what steps their home
offices will take, they generally be-
lieve that they will have TO seek other
pastures than Texas.

BRUTE THROWS ACID
IN CH|LO'S
FACE
Then Rides Away on Motor
CyCle.-BOy DiSflgured
For Life.

Phoenix. Ariz., April 29.-Charged
with throwing muriatic acid in the
face of a seven-year-old child, G. H.
Wheelock was before Justice John
stone for his preliminary examina-
ton.
According to the story of the child,
whose name is Charley Seamans, he
was passing a repair shop just across
from the Hardwick theater. He
looked in at the door of the shop and
for a moment pressed his face against
the screen of the door.
Get away from there" said
Wheelock, harshly, at the same time
picking up a bottle and throwing the
contents directly into the face of the
little child
Charley's screams attracted the at
tention of neighbors, and according to
the story of those who first arrived on
the scene, Wheelock went outside
and, mounting his motorcycle, rode
away He did not return for two
hours.
The man declares his innocence and
says there was but little acid in the
shop. Yet quite a quantity shows on
the screen, and the child is probably
disfigured for life. His hair is burned
as If hot grease had been poured over
it and the screen of the door is turn
ing rusty.
Wheelock further says that he
doesn't know anything about the af-
fair at all. He declares that he mere
ly went out on his motorcycle to see
if 1t was in order and that he never
saw the child nor heard its screams.

IMPORTERS WANT LOWER
RATES ON ROAS

New York, April 29.-Importers of
women's boas, made of dressed and
manufactured feathers, and having a
cotton core. are awaiting with interest
a decision soon to be made by the
United States circuit court, regarding
the classification, for duitable pur-
poses. of this line of merchandise. Ac-
cording to the importers, the cotton
component is of insignificant value,
compared with the feathers. Never
theless, the collector of customs as
sessed duty at the rate of so per cent
under the provisions in the tariff for
feathers not specifically provided for.
The board of general appraisers af-
frmed this classification, overruling
the contention of George Legg, an
importer of this city. In brief filed
with the circuit court Kamerlohr &
Duffy, attorneys for the importer,
contend that the boas should be deem
ed unenumerated manufactured artic-
les under section 6 of the tariff, and
as such pay duty at the rate of 20
per cent. Judge Martin has taken the
papers under consideration and will
render a decision shortly.
