FIRST ACTS OF VIOLENCE
WE'RE COMMITTED MONDAY

WINNIPEG, Aug. 1.-THE first
act of violence of the Canadian Pa
cific railroad strike occurred last
midnight, when almost all the win
dows in the coaches of a passenger
train were broken by stones hurled
by unknown persons in st. Boniface
yards, across Red river from here.
No one was injured.
Today IL workmen who had be-
gun work yesterday walked out OF
the yards, remarking to the strikers
pickets at the gates that 'they did
not propose to reNain imprisoned
like convicts.
With regard to an assertion that
the present struggle is between the
railroad and union leaders. rather
than the men. J. H. McVety said:
Such a statement is absurd. There
was not time enough between the is.
suing of the arbitration commission
award and the beginning of the strike
for us to influence the men. Noi
was any such attempt made. All that
was submitted to the men was the
award of the commission. with the
question whether the men would ac
cept or not. The vote for a strike
was an absolutely spontaneous move,
ment by the men themselves, ant
they are sticking to it with practica
unanimity."

Mrs. Taft, and General Clarence R..
Edwards. chief of the insular bureau
of the war department, reached here

voted by Mr.. Taft to an accumula-

be discussed during this conference
when it is believed final decision will
be reached regarding Mr.. Taft's per-
sonal arrangements.
Although many requests are being
received for his presence at various
places, he has so far accepted no in
vitatiOns. Incidentally, Mr.. Hitch
cock will be asked to define the
course his committee is to take in
West Virginia, whether aid and di-
rections will be given to Swisher. the

here, as is also Mr.. Swisher, who

tanned. Mr.. Taft continues to refuse
to become involved in the contro-
versy.
The trip today from White Sulphur

GREEK, RESPONSIBLE FOR
BIG FIRE At R|EPETOWN
BELIEVED TO Be CRAZY
Uas Seen Acting in Strange
Manner During Progress
of Fire, Then Disappeared

fact that they are still standing Is at
tributed solely to the hard work of
the fire fighters as the flames had
eaten their way to the very rafters
of the buildings named, threatening
to ignite them at any moment. An
heroic deed to save property adjacent
was that of Charles Nelson, who with
George Sheard, an employe in Mel
sons saloon, tore down the build
ing, the fire dying when 1t reached
the place where the Nelson saloon
stood. After the flames had been
gotten under control, work was be-
gun on erecting Nelson's place again
and the saloon was operating
yesterday as though it had never been
removed.
1t is probable that Riepetown will
be rebuilt, as number of property
owners there are already talking of
putting up new buildings, etc.
Telephone service at Riepetown
was out of commission until the noon
hour yesterday, wires having been
burned in two in several places.
After a half days work, employees
of the company repaired the line so
that it could be used.

Names of voters are piling up
thick and fast on the registry for the
newly formed Ely City voting pre-
cinct and before the work is complet-
ed prior to the approaching county
and national elections the total num-
ber will be such as will give the
voters of the precinct much prestige
when the time for casting of ballots
occurs. Candidates for the various
county Offices will realize Importance
of devoting much of their time to
strenuous canvassing of the field
here and the fellows who secure the
majority of votes cast in the pre-
cinct will have secured an advan-
tageous ground.
Though the registry books for Ely
City precinct have been opened but
few days the number of names OF
qualified voters foots up well and
from all Indications the total will
greatly surprise most people in the
district, as there is much time for
large additions to the list. The

COMPLAINT IS FILED
AGAINST RAILWAYS
Alleges Conspiracy of Sixty-Seven
Railroads Through Traffic
Association.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE
railroad commission of Texas today
filed formal complaint with the in
terstate commerce commission
against 67 railroads and common
carriers, alleging conspiracy, on the
part of the defendants through the
Southwestern Traffic association, fol-
the suppression of competition and
restraint of trade in the recent ac.
ton increasing freight rates to COM
mon points in Texas. The commits.
sion will forward notice of this com.
plant to all the carriers involved
and will give them 1 5 days to reply
the usual period allowed for answer
ing complaint being 20 days. The
commission will expedite this case
as much possible on account of its
widespread Importance.
The complaint is signed by Allison
Mayfeld, chairman of the Texas
torney general, Claude Pollard, as
sistant attorney general of the state
of Texas, countersigning the paper
The complaint undertakes to COM
pare the alleged cost of maintenance
and operation of the railroads with
the actual cost and the claimed in
debtedness which is supposed to JUS
tify the increase, with the actual in
debtedness. The railroad commits
sion of Texas, it appears, has ap-
praised the cost of construction and
operation of the roads as well as the
actual Indebtedness upon which the
rates may he fairly based.
Eight freight schedules which have
recently been filed with the commits
sion are made the basis of the CON-
plant. and all are claimed to have
been brought about by an unlawful
agreement between the defendant
carriers and the Southwestern Traffic
association of which they are men,
bers. or whose members represent
through power of attorney, those who
are not.
1t declares that the increased rates
will fall primarily upon the commodt
| ties of prime utility and daily neces-
sity; that they will seriously disturb
trade relations. causing loss to ship
pers and the consuming public; and
that the increased tax, SO far as Teras
alone Is concerned, will amount to
$2,653,0O0.

IMPORTANT SESSION Of
CITY COUNCIL; HOFFMAN
ELECTED MAYOR PRO TEN
Sidewalk Ordinance Passed
and Agitation of Sewerage
System Is Dropped

In short but busy session held by
the city council at the court house
last evening, one ordinance was pass
ed on its final reading, the sewer
question disposed of for the time
being, several bills allowed and much
other business transacted.
r. H. Hoffman, who was named
by the council at the last meeting to
succeed the late Mr.. Carbon as alder
man from the Third ward, officiated
in that capacity for the first time. He
was also elected mayor pro tenn.
The meeting was delayed owing to
tardiness of two of the councilmen,
being called by Mayor Clark at S:49.
Following the reading of the minutes,
a petition signed by large number
of property holders in the Central
Ely addition asking that Ely avenue
be opened for traffic and other nee
essary improvements made in that
vicinity The petition stated that
the railroad company had agreed to
grade the crossing of Avenue c and
the railroad and it was reported by
a representative of the Ely Townsite
Co. that the company has agreed to
grade the street as far as the rail-
road property. The petition was re-
ferred to the street committee and
city engineer In behalf of the
street committee, Councilman Fran
els M. Root reported that nothing has
been accomplished thus far in con-
nection with proposed grading of
Murry street owing to the absence
of the city engineer. He also report
ed that holes on Aultman and Murry
streets are being filled as rapidly as
possible.
In communication read to the
council by the clerk, the railroad
company demurred to the franchise
drawn up by the city, calling for
more stations along the line in this
immediate vicinity, declaring that 1t
is beyond reason for the people of
the community to expect the COM
pany to conform with the stipulations
in the ordinance. The matter was
tabled for the time-being.
The report of City Physician Ad-
ans was then read to the effect that
during the months of April, May.
June and July. two cases of scarlet
fever have been quarantined proper
ly and that the reported diphtheria
of several days ago was not diph-
liberia and that eight deaths have
been reported to him, and that there
have been no epidemics of contagious
or infectious diseases and that sani-
tary conditions are satisfactory.
