STRIKEBREAKERS DISARNED
San Francisco Police Club Strikers
but Do Not Disperse Mobs.
Chief Dinan Tells Force 10 XIII Nom
union Men Who Fire
Into Crowds.

San Francisco, May s.-There was no
lifting OF the street car tie-up to-day. al
though ears were run from Oak street
out 20 Dlvisadero and along this uptown
street No attempt was made 20 operate
cars in business districts, as il would
have been suicidal, since the police dis
armed all men on the cars as they came
out of the barn.
Mounted police attended the cars. and
in places dubbed strikers and hoodiums
who threw bricks, but they did not try
to disperse mobs.
Chief Of Police Dinau ordered the police
to shoot any strikebreaker who fires on
the crowds
The only hope for the resumption of the
car service and the restoration Of business
lies in Gov. Gillett, who. it is expected,
will order out the militia. The mayor
issued a manifesto. COunseling people to
keep of the streets. and to maintain
peace.
President Carnelius, Of the carmen S
union, has issued q statement, claiming
that the United Railways have imported
thugs and ex-convicts to shoot down AZ
nocent people. Take it all in ALL San
Francisco to-day was paralyzed, and ele
rebuilding of the city checked.

AN INVITING OPPORTUNITY.
Corporations Now Have Chance 10
Test New Rate Law.

From the New York World
The first reduction Of rates under the
1906 amendments to the interstate COM
merce law have just been ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, on
complaint made by the Society Of Amer
lean Florists against the United States
Express Company.
The company advanced its rate on cut
flowers from New Jersey points to New
York City from 50 cents a hundred to 81
d hundred The commission has ordered
the rate reduced to so cents hundred.
Both railroad and express company earn
ings are affected by this order, for it ap-
pears from the option of Commissioner
Lane that the Lackawanna receives IS per
cent of the total gross receipts for carry
ing Platt's express business. The Central
Railroad of New Jersey receives 43 per
cent. and the Lehigh 40 per cent A re-
ductiOn in the express rate effects q cor
responding reduction in the railroad com
panies' share of the gross charges.
If eminent corporation lawyers are so
confident that Senator Foraker is right In
holding the rate law unconstitutional,
here is an inviting opportunity for a test
case, in which Senator Piett's corporation
and three railroads can pool their eonfis-
catOry grievances.

journeyman plumbers, appointed by the
arbitration board 60 settle future disputes,
it is said, hangs the threatened strike OF
the building trades on the row Of houses
on Park road, near Seventh street north
west. being built by the firm OF Middaugh
& shannon. It was stated yesterday that
the building trades had postponed action
on these buildings, upon the request OF
MI Aiiddaugh. for the reason that he
said that he was to confer with Judge
De Lacey. This conference. it is under
stood, was to have taken place last night.
and there may be a walk-out this morn
lag.
Action was also postponed yesterday on
the apartment house at Fiftieth and +
streets northwest. being erected by the
Dunn Company, for the reason that the
committee Of the trades found the plumb
ing work there at a standstiu. Action viii

Concord. n H. May S-Plaintiffs.
through their counsel in the equity case
OF Eddy VS.. Frye ct al, fled affidavits in
the Superior Court here this afternoon in
reply TO the motion of Mcclellan. Baker
& Fernald, trustees of Mrs. Eddy's prop
erty, that said trustees be substituted for
the original plaintiffs. The affidavits are
signed separately by J. Foster Eddy, Mrs.
Eddys adopted son, and by her son,
George W. Glover. and his daughter
Mary Baker Glover.
The afidavits are very brief and sim
ply reaffirm the allegations made IN the
original bill of the plaintiffs. They laid
special emphasis on those portions of the
original bill which claimed that Mrs
Eddy's property was being managed with
out her intelligent knowledge or consent,
and that portions of her property had
been a source Of financial betterment 70
private individuals who have been con-
nected with the management Of her bust
ness affairs.
The afidavits also lay special stress
upon the demands made IN the original
bin for the appointment of a receiver TO
investigate and report upon the whole
subject Of the financial interests OF MIS-.
Eddy The afidavtts further reafirm the
original statements as TO Mrs. Eddy's
general mental and physical incompe-
tency.
Ask Time to File Amendments.
Counsel for George W. Glover and other
plaintiffs have also presented another
legal document in which they ask for
fifteen days in which to file amendments
to the original bill. following a decision
of the question of substituting the trus-
tees for the plaintiffs first named. This
hearing is set for May %. and it is sur
missed that the plaintiffs do not expect to
win by having the cOurt refuse TO ac-
knowledge Mrs Eddy's trustees as ht
persons to assume the position Of plain
tiffs under the first bill in equity. An
adverse decision would give counsel for
plaintiffs opportunity TO set up new rea-
sons for not substituting the Eddy trus-
tees, which might result in a reversal of
the original decision of the court.
1t is probable that between now and
May 90 when the first hearing on the
case is 10 be heard. there viii be flied fur
ther affidavits on the part of the Eddy
trustees as 10 their being substituted for
the fTst named plaintiffs.
