THINK BATTLE WILL
BE FOUGHT IN EAST

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 1.-Railroad Of
ficials said today that, Notwithstanding
the switchmen's strike. they would de-
liver to merchants all the freight that
arrived. Yardmasters continue to make
up passenger trains. The feeling seems
to be that the battle will be fought out
IN the east.
A few older of the switchmen are ex-
pected to return today, the railroad Of
fcials say.
The employment OF non-unIon men.
II attempted. probably would lead to
strikes of,men belonging to other unions
than the switchmen's.
The outlook is that partial tieup
will continue here without attempt to
break the strike,
At the office OF Supt Mullen OF the
Northern Pacific the following notice
was posted:
"AlI passengers are moving. being
handled by the yardnasters. Freight Is
tied up. Everything is quiet and peace
able. We have not hired any new men
and have made no arrangements to do
so, No old men have reported for work.
We are waiting on the east. The Great
Northern situation is the same as ouEs."
The Chicago. Milwaukee g. Puget
Sound has only few switchmen, the
new road being in full operation and
little affected by the strike.

HARRIET G. MOTT DEAD.
Was Sister OF BidwcIl Brothers, Most
Notorious Forgcrs of Last Century.


Muskegon, Mich. Dec. IA life OF
sisterly devotion that has few equals
in history was brought to close by
tho death yesterday at the age of rs
years, OF Mrs. Harriet G.. Mott. sister
to the notorious Bidwell brothers. who
made themselves the most famous
forgers of the nineteenth century by
their $1,000000 swindle of the Bank
OF England.
Mrs. Mott, who outllved her brothers.
died practically penniless. although she
once owned one OF the finest farms In
Muskegon county and valuable prop
crty in New York state. All her prop
erty went toward promoting the cause
OF her brothccs' freedom.
When Austin and George c. Bidwell
committed their famous swindle In
1873. Mrs. Mott vigorously entered in
to the fight to win the liberty OF her
kin and carriq1 her cause into the
White House and before the nobility
of England.
She went everywhere raising funds
and made nine trips across the Allan
tic. She refused TO look upon her
sIdereG that their sentences to life i'm
prisonment were miscarriages OF
Justice.
When at length she triumphed and
saw the last of the brothers, Austin
BIdwelI. leave old Ncwgate. in 1893, the
devoted sister returned TO Muskegon
and set about raising money to pay Off
the debts OF her campaign
The brothers died in the west while
on a lecturing tour. but she kept on.
A book written by Austin Bidwell on
his experience WIS her chief asset. She
boasted that she paid back every
penny borrowed in her long fight.

HORRIBLE STENCHES
IN CHICAGO THEATERS

Chicago, Dec. IA stencil compound
cd seemingly OF all known evil odors
pervaded four down town theaters last
night.
Performances at tho. Colonial, tho
Grand. the Cort and the Ia Sale play
houses wcro given under difficulties
thnt were charged. rightly or wrongly,
to the efforts of striking billposters.
In each theater balls giving forth a
nausous smell were thrown or dropped
at nearly the same time OF the evening.
In no case was an audience dismissed,
but in each instance such an outcome
was averted narrowly. The thosen
hour OF invasion in all but one instance
was 1890 o'clock.
The exception was the Colonial. where
the odor came early and stayed late. 1t
was noticed in the lobby by the first
comers. Some thought 1t sinelled like
fresh paint with a quantity OF aged
eggs added. All agreed that II was q
compound TO remember.

branches centering here. Eighty
switchmen quit the Northern Pacific
here last night and 10 QUIT the Great

mated at $50. Train crews are doing
little switching to take care OF cattle

effort to move ordinary freight was
visible at the railway yards today, Pas
senSer trains are maying about as
usual.
The striking switchmen arc waiting

Should the strike continue consider

blockading OF consignments of holiday
goods and the delay of wheat ship
ments but the most immediateu anger
Is shortage of fuel II Is estimated
that the coal now stored in Spokane
Will last for about 10 days if the wealth
er is temperate So long as the Oregon
