STREET CARS TIED UP
Two Thousand Employees Go on
Strike at Cleveland.
DISORDERS BEGIN AT ONCE
Nonunion Men Beaten and Driven
From Their Posts and the Cars

pute Cause of the Trouble.

Cleveland, May 18. - Cleveland's S
street car system is tied up by an al
most unanimous vote Of the local un-
ion of the Amalgamated Association
ployes.
Variously estimated between three
and four hundred thousand patrons of
the urban lines are without means of
transportation. City officials, it was
stated, had not made preparations to
combat the situation. Union men, how
ever, asserted that two weeks ago
President du Pont of the Municipal
railway had begun negotiations for
additional help. They claimed this
assistance would be inefficient.
The strike involves 1000 men. 1t
had its origin in the institution of g.
cent fares, subject of political con-
tention in Cleveland during seven
years past Following the municipal
election last November, when the
principal issue was the question OF
municipal control of traction compa.
MES and an ultimate rate OF fare of 3
cents within the city limits, consoli-
dation of street car lines came about.
At that moment 1t developed that
the Cleveland Electric Railroad COM
pany, the major traction corporation,
had signed a contract with the Anal
Of NJ
Electric Railway Employees whereby
1t was agreed that, In the event of a
continuation" Of their franchise OF
its equivalent, the conductors and mo
termen would receive a specified In
crease of cents an hour and an ad
justment of other minor alleged griev
ances.
The merged properties having been
leased to the Municipal Traction com
pany the traction infant" took the po
sition that the contract was not bind
ing upon them The new company
did, however, offer an increase of
cent an hour in the pay Of the men
to take effect April %. upon which
day the 3-ceut fare was put into oper
alton. The new company also ordered
that all employees should pay carfare
when riding upon the company's cars
while not at work. The company also
proposed to supply the men with uni
forms free of charge.
Proposals Not Satisfactory.
The propositions of the new com
pany. in lieu of the previous arrange
ments with the old company, were
not satisfactory to the employees.
About 800 motormen and conductors
formerly employed by the Forest City
company, the original 3-cent fare line
did not join in the strike. There were
also quite large number of the meI
employed on other lines who did mo-
quit work. The latter were largely
made up of men who have beer
broken In since the strike was frs
threatened ten day ago.

STREET SIGNS.

The removal of the Third Avenue theater sign suggests the desirability Of an amendment of the ordinance reiating to street signs. The ordi- nance was framed in the first place 10 do away with those monstrosities which used to be stretched across the sidewalks, offensive to the public eye and also 70 the top of the head of a tall man, b1t at the time it was passed it did not seem to be contem- plated that a sign could be made at tractive. As it now stands it pre- vents the introducing of many cleo trical effects which beautify the streets of large cities.
 No fault could be found with the theater sign. It was so far above the sidewalk that it could not be- come an obstruction. It presented no danger to life or limb, but it was an ornament and an illumination to that neighborhood which is not well lighted at best.
 The law should be changed as quickly as possible so that private enterprises of this sort should be encouraged instead of being restricted. That could easily be done by desig- hating the kind of signs, with respect to the stability of their construction, their ornamental character and their height above the side walk so as not To obstruct the view or traffic.

The Journal of the American Medi- cal Association has the following: Modern civilization furnishes no bet te- example than this of the possible victory over Iesilence and disease when the warfare is carried on in the light of modern scientific knOwl edge. The building of the Panama canal and the sanitary record of the Japanese in their war wilh Russia are the two great object lessons of re- cent years, demonstrating tSat men can neither work nor fight 50 the best advantage unless protected from infectious and preventable diseases. The civilized nation which will here after put an army in the field or undertake a great engineering prob lem without first preparing the way by proper and adequate sanitary en- gineering and equipment will be re- garded by the other nations as quite as foolish as a government which would build a vast fleet of modern warships and then arm them with the muzzle- loading ordnance of 100 years ago. An epidemic of typhoid fever in a military camp should be considered a greater disgrace to an army than a defeat in battle, since defet may come, in spite of the greatest exertiOns and the highest wisdom, while typhoid and yellow fever would be the result of ignor- ance or disregard of well known laws of prevention. All nations will profit by the sanitary lesson of the Panama canal.

SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE.

SENATORS BA DIRECT VOTE.
 Senator Hansbrough, who was turn ed down at the primaries, has gone into court to show that the legisla- ture is not bound by the direct ex- pression of the people under the state law providing for such an ex- prcssion.
 IL is also stated that similar ac- ton will be taken in Oregon, where the legislature. though strongly re- publican, is bound by the primaries to elect a democrat to the United States senate.
 It was not supposed that any state law could take from members of a legislature the power conferred upon them by the constitution of the Unit ed States. If so there would be no need of all this agitation for a change of the constitution so that senators could be elected by the popular vote.
 The various state primary laws with relation to tine senatorial office were passed that the people might suggest their choice. The legislators are not bound to pay any further attention but if they neglect to do so they will probably reach an early end of their own public careers.
 In Oregon the legislators are more definitely instructed, a majority of them having signified their assent be- fore election to Statement No. l." constituents.

taining distilled water absolutely without any traces of lithium, certain traces of that metal made their ap- pearance after twenty-four hours un- der the, application of radium. The same result took place in the case of a quartz receptable. Mime. Curie and Mile. Gleditch thereupon used a plati- mum apparatus. They placed it in distilled water and used copper salts produced in the laboratory entirely free from lithium. These copper salts were then exposed to emanations of radium, and no trace of lithium was discovered.

We understand that the election of Hon Neil Bailey of Cochise county is to be contested We also under stand that it is proposed to contest it in the courts of Cochise county which would probably decline to take Jurisdiction since the legislative as- sembly would finally determine the qualifications of its own membership. Without knowing anything of the merits of the contest We can see very clearly what that almost unanimous aggregation of democrats would do.

appeal to the Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances. To get it's beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading drug gists.

The work of compiling a great technical dictionary, which was be- gun under the auspices of the AssO- citation of German Engineers, has been abandoned on account of the great cost, which, it is discovered. would be four times greater than originally contemplated. There is great need of just such a dictionary as was proposed in all the arts. sciences and crafts, and the decision of the German engineers will be heard with regret by workers all over the world.

Some valuable and interesting work has been accomplished recently by Dr. J. w. Fewkes of the bureau of ethnOlogy in the excavation of the cliff dwellings of the Mesa Verde national park in Colorado. This an- cient village is situated on the bor- der of the Montezuma valley, just south of the ancient Monetzuma road. and contains some of the best pre- served relics of the, prehistoric cliff dwelelrs in the country. A wall form ing the front of this village, formerly hidden under fallen debris, was brought to light and repaired through out its whole length. The former plaZas were restored to their original condition. In the course of the work 120 rooms were cleaned out and re- paired. Eight of these, which are circular in form, were found to be ceremonial in nature. They were ex- cavated to their floors and their architectural features revealed. The roofs of two of these circular rooms were restored, following aboriginal lines of construction.

SCIENCE NOTES.

What Dr. Sven Hedin regards as the greatest achievement of his recent explorations in India is the discovery of that continuous mountains chain which, taken as a whole, is the most massive range on the crust of the earth, it's average height above sea level being greater than that of the Himalayas. Its peaks are 4,000 feet to 5000 feet lower than Everest, but its passes average 5000 feet higher than the Himalayan passes. The east ern and western parts were known before. but the central and highest part is in Bongba, which was pre- viously uneXplored. Not a tree or a bush covers it; there are no deep cut valleys, as in the Himalayas, for rain is scanty.
