lions, so far as the construction of

st. Paul at Milwaukee. has received

The seventy engines above men,
toned are Of the Prairie type and
will be used exclusively for freight
service on the new line to the Pacific

freight cars, including 1000 41-foot

FIND 5000 FEET OF HOSE
IN THE RAILROAD YARDS

Oakland, July 25.-All available MEM
bers of the Oakland detective bureau
are today securing the city and sur
rounding territory in an effort to To-
cate three men seen In the act of hid
ing 5000 feet of dynamite fuse in the
Southern Pacific company's yard, 250
feet south of Clinton station, 1t being
the opinion of the sleuths that they
may be able to throw some light on
the recent dynamite explosions in this
city. The theft of a number of bot
ties OF wine and other liquors from
the cellar in the home of Judge Fred
Henshaw of the state supreme court
followed by the arrest of the alleged
guilty parties, led up to information
being given the police concerning the
fuse cached in Clinton park.
Detectives were put on the case and
the fuse was found last evening and is
now at police headquarters. The fuse
is of a different character than that
manufactured in this state, being
known as the Lion brand, and with
pink covering instead of black, as is
the fuse ordinarily sold on this coast.

for the mems defense. 1t is claimed
that the accused men were simply or
ganizing Mexican labor unions and not
melting rebellion.

clude the small camps as well as the
larger ones. Special instructions were
given regarding the Mines smelters
and mills in Colorado. The prosecu-
ton of it's officers and members having

| creases the executive board to eleven
members.

unions than those of miners, smelter
men and mill men, in camps where no
other labor union Is represented, was
under discussion when the convention
adjourned.
