sI.5o PER YEAR
The Farmer

| Auoka Union: "We heard couple
Of town sdoods' make some disparag-
ing remarks yesterday, concerning
farmer who was on the streets and
whose pants were not fresh from the
tailor's press and whose shoes were of
different pattern from those worn by
the critics. You poor, puffed-up imbe-
Giles. Do you know who the farmer is?
He is the man who feeds the world. IF
he were to go on strike and refuse,
to raise crop for single year, the,
effect would be more disastrous than
would result if all the railroad men all
the miners and all the trade unions com
bined were to qnit. With his glittering
share and with his clinking binder the
farmer tolls on, furnishing subsistence
for the whole world and without his
prosperity, the goods would rot on the
merchants shelves, and there would
result paralysis of business on land
and sea. The man, though above the
average intelligence, is dressed in
home-spun, and if he has any shin
ing equipments, it is not paste dia-
mond ring, but 14-inch plow shares-
hidden under six inches of mother,
earth. Stop when you are about to
speak derisively of a farmer and con-
slider, and see if you are not able to
realize that the country and it's citizens
depend more upon the farmer in his
working clothes than upon the pool
room 'dood' whose pocket knowetfa
not the weight of dime"

TRAGEDY
STOPS PROCEEDINGS
WOMAN OVERCOME BY DEATH
OF NEPHEW
Trial of Divorce Case Witness Ae-
cused of Perjury Postponed.
Death and Disaster
Follow Case

Death, disaster and misery hand in
hand have dogged every step of first
the Arnaz divorce case and later the
trial of Leo Monreal, one of the VII
nesses in the case accused of perjury:
Yesterday when the trial was called
before Judge Smith of department one
of the superior court continuance
was asked on the ground that the star
witness for the prosecution mad peeh
stricken with heart failure upon re-
ceiving news of the death of her
nephew and had been under a ply
sician's attendance for several hours.
The woman was Mrs. Mary Leip.
She was to have testified regarding
certain important points in the trlal
and yesterday morning just before time
for her to take the witness stand an
excited messenger dashed into court to
inform the attorneys that Mrs. Lelp
upon learning of the death of her
nephew had collapsed with heart fall
ure and was at that moment in a
critical condition. Under those cir
cumstances there was nothing to do
but adjourn court at the suggestion
of the attorneys.
The young man was Max Mendelson
of San Francisco and was in Los An
geles ON a visit. His death followed
an illness of few days.
Monday morning when the case was
called to trial small panic was Gre
ated in the court room when it was
announced that one of the witnesses
in the case, Miss Idella Arnaz, had
taken an overdose of laudanum by
mistake and was at that time in
dying condition at the California hos
pital.
Woman Out of Danger
AS the young woman was related to
most of the people in the court room
there was a general scurrying for tel
ephones and street cars for all OF those
who had a chance to leave court while
those others who were forced to re-
main were kept in constant commune
cation with the physicians at the girls
bedside.
Miss Arnaz was pronounced out OF
danger late yesterday evening and ar
rangements were being made for the
resumption of the trial today, when
the second tragedy following close on
the heels of the first fairly demoral-
lied the entire proceedings.
Mrs Arnaz is the prosecuting wit
ness against Monreal, a young Mex
lean, who appeared in behalf of James
Arnaz when Mrs. Arnaz had brought |
suit against her husband for divorce.
Monreal testified that he and a friend |
went to Mrs. Arnaz's rooms and there |
acted in a most disorderly manner
Mrs. Arnaz denied those allegations, |
and after she had secured her decree |
of divorce she caused the arrest of
Monreal to force him to prove his
statements or be held for perjury.
Since then the accidents to the wit
nesses and those concerned in the case
have been of such frequency that it
is doubtful whether the trial will be
finished for several days. Mrs. Arnaz
has been the only witness thus far
introduced in the case and her testi-
mony was a direct denial of every
thing that Monreal had testified to in
the divorce case.

SUPERVISORS THREATEN
TO TAKE POSSESSION OF
GEARY STREET LINE
By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-The di-
rectors of the Geary street railroad met
today to consider the resolution adopted
by the board of supervisors yesterday
calling upon the company to operate
it's road, which is operating under a
revocable lease from the municipality.
The supervisors stated that the road
would be taken away from the company
if cars were not run again at once.
The directors today decided to take no
action whatever, thus throwing the
matter back to the supervisors. COM
mittee from the supervisors called upon
President Platt and was Informed of
the decision.
The committee then asked what price
was placed upon the rolling stock and
machinery plant of the corporation.
President Platt said he could not give
any figure without consulting the other
officials and he did not think another
meeting of the directors would be held
for a week or ten days. AS the matter
now stands it devolves upon the city to
take the initiative if the road is to
soon resume running its cars under
rule.

of her attitude.
Haywood participated to greater
extent than before in the work of his
counsel. He consulted most constantly
with Messrs. Darrow, Richardson and
Nugent and it was very clear that he
was offering suggestions as to the line
of examination and expressing himself
to the men in the box who may be
chosen to sit in judgment on his life.
In seeking the removal of Talesman
Orric Cole, who is not in good health,
Edgar Wilson, for the defense, made
the statement that the trial would oc-
cupy several weeks and possibly sew
eraI months. The ten men who have
been examined and passed for cause
by both sides are, in the order given;

Says Battle Is Won
w. ID. Mahon, president of the Inter
national Garments union, in an inter-
view this afternoon. stated:
''I have nothing new to say about the
situation. I am confident that the car
men will win their fight. This city is
considered to be a strong union labor
one and with the thousands of labor
men on our side, the battle is won.
''In order to run street car system
one must make it financial success,
and this the United Railroads cannot
do with great portion of the resi-
dents not riding on the cars.
II cannot speak on the boycott ques-
ton, but you can understand exactly
what effect that can have when strict
ly enforced"
Mayor Schmitz and the committee OF
fifty have spent the day in persistent
effort to formulate some definite plan
that will make for industrial peace
and the restoration of normal COM
mercial activity, but without success.
Governor Gillett decided today to
make his headquarters in this city in
definitely for the purpose of giving the
situation his personal observation.
1t is understood that President CAL
houn will make an effort to lay before
Governor Gillett a detailed description
of today'S many acts of violence. 1t is
the belief of the officials of the COM
pany that the police force of San Fran
cisco is not large enough to cope with
the situation and that this fact has
been clearly demonstrated by the events
Of the last seven days.
Police Force Inadequate
-Four hundred policemen, according
to Chief Dinan, were employed on the
streets today in an effort to protect the
companys property and safeguard the
lives of operatives and passengers. The
total police force, exclusive Of 100
specials, is 700 men.
Seven lines were operated today, the
largest number since the declaration
of the strike The total number of
lines in the system is more than twen-
ty. No effort has yet been made nor
will be for at least ten days under
present circumstances to operate cars
after dark.
A policeman, accompanied by man
wearing the, badge Of a union picket,
sought and obtained permission today
to enter one of the company'S barns
and seek to serve on some Of its em-
ployes John Doe" warrants, charging
them with violation of the city or
dinance which requires a conductor of
1notorman to have seven days expert
ence in the city before operating cars
AS far as is known no arrests have
been made under these warrants, 100 OF
which were obtained at the instance
of union leaders. Assistant President
Mullaly states that all of the strike
breakers operating cars have had more
than the seven days experience re-
quired

MANY VIOLENT ACTS
RECORDED AND THE
END Is NOT IN SIGHT
Bz Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-An ex-
ceptional instance of courtesy was
shown today when a non-union motor
man on Mission street. himself bruised
by stones thrown by strike sympathiz-
ers, stopped his car, left the controller,
went inside and took up in his arms
and soothed a crying child around
whom and it's mother shattered glass
had fallen a moment before when
brick heaved from the sidewalk crashed
through window, grazing the Womans
head.
In her hysteria she had let the child
slip to the floor and the piteous cries
of the little one had caused the motor
man to turn from his dangerous work
and give comfort.
Following are some of the incidents
of the day:
j. Studebaker, an aged man on a
ferry-bound Chutes car at Fourth and
Market streets, was struck by half a
brick thrown from the sidewalk. His
face was lacerated and he was severely
injured. Clarence Schaeffer, clerk,
was arrested at Seventh and Clement
avenue for throwing bricks at passing
cars Richard Weissman, a striking
motorman, and Bert NJ Hooper, strike
sympahtizer, were arrested at Sec
ond avenue and California street for
foully insulting passengers. Otto Weise,
a barkeeper, was arrested at Turk and
Fillmore streets for reviling passengers.
r. X. Besca, a union teamster, was
arrested at Sixteenth and Mission for
blockading cars.
At Twenty-eighth and Mission
streets two passengers alighted from
a car and were set upon by crowds
of strike sympa thizers. They were
chased for two blocks and knocked
down and severely beaten. One of
them, bleeding from cuts about the
head, was placed aboard a car and
sent down town for medical treat
ment.
Rioters Not Arreoted
No arrests were made.
At Seventh and Mission streets,
where a large and boisterous crowd
was gathered during the afternoon, a
piece of pig iron was thrown through
the window of a car. 1t was followed
by rocks.
Conductor j. Faber was struck in
the head and arm by rocks thrown
at Twenty-eighth and Mission streets,
while he was walking from his quar-
ters in the Valencia street barn to the
barn at Twenty-ninth and Mission.
Conductor j. Wager was struck in
the back by stones at the same point
under the same circumstances. A
passenger was struck in the face by
a stone thrown at Twenty-seventh and
Mission. The assault followed the re-
sentiment by him of vile remarks ad-
dressed to him from the sidewalk.
Motorman j. Brink was struck on the
hip by a large stone at Twenty fourth
and Mission.
The union driver of lumber wagon
stalled car at TVrenty-seventh and
Mission. A crowd of Aundreds of men
and boys gathered and presently
charged the car. A score Of them
boarded the front and rear platforms,
assaulted Guard r. w. Vauss, striking
him in the face with their fists, and
sIugged Motorman J. Garfield in the
eye. A woman passenger forced her
way through the riotous crowd on the
car and in the face of great personal
danger bestowed on the motorman a
cluster. of flowers which she carried.
