SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


BAKERSFIELD. Feb. 2.-Unless the
management Of the Southern Pacific
Company agrees to the terms asked
for by the Order Of Railroad Telegra-
pliers there will be a strike that will
effect the entire system. Operators
from New Orleans to San Francisco,
from Oakland to ogden and as far
north as Portland, will follow instruc
tions from the leaders of the union and
probably walk out next Wednesday.
February G, the time given the railroad
company TO make its answer. The
men have made a demand through
their organization that twenty-six days
instead Of thirty days shall constitute
q working month; that the minimum
salary shall be SIS a month for eight
hours work, instead of the regular
ten-hour day, with so cents for each
hour of overtime, and that Sunday
work should be paid for by time and
half
That the officials of the railroad COM
pany are greatly agitated over the
state of affairs is shown by the fact that
General Manager Ingraham of the Pa
ciflc division has sent a circular to each
individual telegrapher at the different
stations requesting him to sever his
affiliations with the Order of Railway
Telegraphers and stand by the COM
pany.
It was learned at railroad headquar-
ters in Kern City that fully IS per cent
of the operators are organized, and It
is also reported that the train dispatcn-
ers are in sympathy with the operators.
The railroad company, it has been
learned, is bringing operators from the

San Pedro Feels
Quite Capable
SHES at Efforts Of
Los Angeles to
Annex Her
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2.-Senator Saw
age is organizing opposition to the pro-
posed plan of Los Angeles to become a
seaport by annexing San Pedro.
San Pedro wants to retain her own
identity instead of being merged with
Los Angeles, and 1t was the support
of this spirit of local pride that was
responsible for the reelection of Saw
age.
A bill introduced by Senator H. S. G..
Mccartney proposes to facilitate the
annexation by leaving it to a majority
vote of the people concerned, and the
defeat of this bill is being carefully
planned by Savage
Senators from the south are giving
the bill considerable attention, and
what looks like a minor matter prom
ises to precipitate keen fight Savage
Is conadent of winning, and has had
overtures made to him by Walter Haas
and 5. o. Butler of the Los Angeles
Consolidation Commission. He offered
TO withdraw opposition to the bill If
II was amended SO as to provide that
the annexation be contingent on a
three-fourths instead of a majority
vote In favor of 1t. Haas and Butler
have gone back to Los Angeles to con-
slider the matter but 1t looks as if Saw
age has the whip hand.
Harbor improvements that will cost
more than s5.000,0o0 are being under
taken by the Government at San Pedro,
and the natives feel that they can ad-
vance without any assistance from Los
Angeles.

DIR. PIERCE's REMEDIES
Woman's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life Is to
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab-
sence Of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence Of this one pledge
70 mutual affection is a common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
.of such childless couple when they rest
on the children OF others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases Of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to child-beering is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part OF the woman DR.. Pierce's Fa-

BOMB UNDER BED
IN A PULLMAN

CHICAGO, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Philadelphia says: The
discovery of bomb made up of gas
pipe, fuse and dynamite under a berth
of the sleeping-car Gallitzin in the
Pennsylvania yards yesterday alarmed
the detective force of the railroad and
the city.
Detectives are tracing out every pos
sible clew to learn the identity of a
young man who occupied the lower
berth under which the bomb was found.
ALI they know is that he boarded the
train at Newark and got off at West
Philadelphia; that he was about 35
years of age and fairly well dressed
They believe the man was an anarchist
and unwillingly left the bomb behind
in the car.

street IN San Francisco will be inter-
ested upon learning that Senator Gus
Hartman's anti-prizehghting bill has
virtually taken the count in the arena
presided over by the Senate committee
on public morals. The bill may come
up on the floor of the Senate, but the
committee has decided to report ad-
versely on its passage and Hartman
himself has no hope of its recovery
from this subcostal swat. Senator Irish
Of Downieville is chairman of the com
mittee, which includes Senators
Leavitt, Lynch, Wolfe and Kennedy.
All are opposed to the bill, but Will
not allow its defeat to be attended by
any unnecessary attention. They in
tend to kill it off as quietly as possible
and nothing but the belligerency or
Hartman will be responsible for post
mortem shouts about it on the floor OF
the Senate.
The Senator from Franklin street has
stirred up a lot of public opposition
since he has introduced the bill. He
gets letters almost daily saying that 1t
is absurd, wicked and a whole lot OF
other things. Just before taking the
train for San Francisco yesterday he
got one letter which read like this:
Gus Hartman, Senator, Sacramento:

Hartman refused to consider this
letter as a hoax or to admit that he
wrote il himself.

MYSTERY ENVRONS
RUSSIAN DEATH

PARIS, Feb. 2.-The sensation of the
week has been the mysterious death of
Russian named Ivan vilbouchevitch.
with glass that had contained cyanide
of potassium by his side.
The police authorities decided that
the case was one of suicide. but Viii
bouchevitchs friends in the Russian
colony refuse to accept this hypothesis.
They claimed that If he really killed
himself he did so in obedience to the
order of some dread power. He was
editor of a small class journal called
L'Agriculture Tropfcale. He was dis
tinguished naturalist and spoke eight
languages. Being an extremely erudite
man, with a well balanced mind, he
was deemed absolutely incapable of
self destruction.
Friends add that the deceased was
in communication with revolutionary
parties in Moscow, st. Petersburg and
Bialystok, and a writer in Gil Bias
says it was he who gave out the news
Of Pope Gapon's treachery long before
1t was known In France and an
nounced the bomb attempt on the life
of NJ Stolypin a week before it was
made.
1t is also pointed out that all the
scholars correspondence has myster-
iously disappeared, and that his inter-
ment was carried out with remarkable
precipitation.
In view of these and other circum-
stances, the friends of vilbouchevitch
refuse to accept the theory of suicide,
and maintain that If it was not MUIR
der, he, at any rate, committed suicide
by order, after having placed all COM
promising documents out of harms
way.

GERMANY HAS
OPTIC ON IA
BELLE FRANCE

Berlin, Sept. 6.-The development of
events at Casablanca appears to be re-
garded with some distrust by the Ger
man government.
. Foreign Secretary Tschirsky, in con-
versation with representatives OF the
powers, stated that Germany accepted
fully the French assurances that the op-
erations Of the allied forces In Morocco
would be within the terms of the Aige-
ciras convention.
Herr Tschirsky added, that. OF course.
the Alseciras convention did not contem-
plate France and Spain undertaking to-
suppress civil war in Morocco. This
reservation discloses the German inter-
pretation OF the Algeciras convention.
and shows that any extensive military
operations on the part OF the allies must
either arouse controversy or be preceded
by the consent OF the interested powers.
The German attitude at present IL sim
ply TO await Developments.
The British government seems to be
waiting to see what Germany will do.
and the latter power, II is said, is deter
mined to prevent the "Egyptianization OF
Morocco"

mann and Opitz, who went TO the foreign
Office To nle with the government claims
for compensation for the needless de-
struction by the French. as they affirm.

The merchants left with Tschirsky n

Casablanca, including expression Of opin.
ion that the action Of the French was

occurred had the French consul, M. NAL
