CLERKS STRIKE
 FINALLY AVOIDED
hlellen Joins Higgins in Settling Differ. encsS at Conference and Men
 Claim Victory.

The railroad freight clerks differ ences with the New Haven railroad are ended. There will be no strike of these men over the big system, and the 2.2Oo operatives of this class at Harlem River. Boston, New Haven, ProVldence. Bridgeport or wherever It may be, went on this morning checking up their yellow way bills as cheerfully as heretofore
 And perhaps more cheerfully because by the terms of the settlement yester- day. after a long discussion which lasted from 2:30 to D. m-. between the general committee of the clerks. headed by Deputy President J. J. For rester of the National Order and Pres ident Mellen and General Superinten- dent F. Higgins. 1t was finally given out that differences between the clerks and the railroad company had been adjusted to the satisfaction of all con- cerned.
 This statement came from MT. Hig- gins, the general manager of the road. It was conceded on all sides that the clerks had won a great victory through the fact that they had obtained a recognition of their order, in a very substantial way and that this order will now rank in railroad importance with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Ffremen. the Trainmen, the Photographers and the Conductors. a position which 1t had not hitherto enjoyed. This being the case it is now said that the clerks will not be slow in putting forward claims in the future for an increase of benefits from the road.
 As reported last night the establish n8nt of ar eight hour day for the clerks at Boston, Providence, New Ha- ven and New York, was established. with q few slight reservations The matters of overtime, the proper in crease of wages. the granting of pass es and vacations was readily disposed of- When 1t came to the matter of establishing the minimum wage rate at g per day. instead of the amount of $1.75 which the road had consented to, 1t was said there was a long dis cussion- It was stated last night. un- officially. that the road finally granted the S2 rate.
 The classification of clerks was agreed upon: minority promotion shall not lose seniority right; clerks shall be entitled to meal hours; one day off without pay shall be given to seven day men: holiday work shall be paid for to the extent of at least four hours, right of appeal to the general manager and premium on bonds to be paid by the company are admitted

AT CHURCH. TOMORROW?

'De we longer need the old relig- ion2" is a question that probably comes to the minds of some people in this day of changing ideas and views. A lack of knowledge of what the old religion is doing and can do for the individual is probably responsible for many of the isms and new religious ideas which are prevalent today. The Rev Geo. M- Brown of the First Meth odist Church will speak on the above topic tomorrow evening The song service at 7:15 and the preaching ser vice which follows are both well at- tended and seem to be in part a prac- tical answer to the Rev. Geo. M. Browns question

Origin of Seals

The origin of seals is lost in the shades Of antiquity. In Assyrian and Babyionian ruins seals still are found. and it is certain that their use passed from those countries to Greece and Rome, to all European countries and from England to America Originally they were set in rings. The earliest references to them in Biblical history is found in Genesis xxxviii. where it Is recorded that. pending certain nego- tiations between Judah and Tamar. the widow of his son. Tamar demand ed a pledge and Judah gave her his signet~ and other belongings. And when Ahab. king of Israel. tried to buy Naboth's vineyard and couldn't his wife Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal" In the Book of Esther. chapter will, it is written that King Ahasuerus said to Esther and Mordecai. Write ye also for the Jews, as 1t Hketh you. in the kings name and seal 1t with the kings ring. for the writing which is written fin the kings name and sealed with his ring may no man reverse"
 Seals doubtless were used long be- fore the stirring events described in the quoted chapter of Genesis. but no one took the trouble to write about them From the time of Jeremiah to William the Conqueror the pen was practically unknown to king. noble or peasant, SO the seal was absolutely necessary.-Kansas City Star.

TWO ARRESTED OPON WHITE
 SLAVERY CHARGE AT DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS. Nov. 11.-(Special) )-
 Two arrests which were made this morning by the city police may de velop as of the utmost importance in the crusade against white slavery. which has bean and is being conduct. ed by the government immigration authorities in Phoenix, just as such Ncrusades are being conducted at this time in many other sections of the country. One of the men is being held on vagrancy charge and another un- der investigation while the immigra- tion officers are making an investi- gation which has been commenced. An investigation is also being con ducted as to the woman in the case.
 Last night an Italian. who speaks French, arrived in the city from Los Angeles. Whe nthe investigation of white slavery" conditions in Phoenix had really warmed up, this man hast fly left that city and went to Los An geles where he had remained con cealed until he decided to come here in search of the French girl he had left in Phoenix on his nasty departure. He was not long at liberty in Douglas and as stated is now held, pending
Bisbee daily review., 1909-11-12

an investigation by the proper author ities.
 After the Italian had made his get away from Phoenix. an American took up with the woman. who had previous ly been consorting with the fugitive, and persuaded her to take up with him and come to this city. They ar rived about a week ago and she be- came an inmate of one of the Sixth street resorts.
 When the taiian arrived in the city. and his arrival became known to the fellow who had supplanted him, the latter became frightened, fearing violence and sought the arrest of the newly arrived macquera The arrest of both followed and it develops that the American is wanted in Phoenix at least as witness, even if he is not more seriously involved, and can not be connected directly with the gang at Phoenix which the govern ment officials are striving to break up.
 It yet remains to be settled whether the woman in the case has taken up an immoral life within two years af- ter her arrival in this country, and hence whether she is a proper sub ject for deportation.

 Do not open you watch until yon secure some sort of dish into which 70 place 1t, and also enough kerosenG to cover it ali over; any old tin can will do. Open your watch case, both front and back covers. and carefully move it around in .he kerosene until you have filed it with oil. Allow it to remain n the kerosene until you can have it cleaned. It will come out of the oii without any of the parts rustins. fhus saving much expense and the watch.-Popular Science.

GASOLINE ROBS "A M ILY IF
 SUPPORT

DOUGLAS. Nov. 11.-(Special9 9-
 4 sad burning fatality occurred last night which robbed a mother of her eldest daughter who was the sole sup port of that mother and of four young sisters and brothers. Conception Sa- maniego is the name of the sixteen year old bread winner whose life was anuffed out thus prematurely.
 It was six o'clock last evening when Conception Samaniego returned to the home in Schwamm row. where her in- valid mother and the four younger members of the family resided. She started to light the fire and was go- ing to use coal oil to expedite her in obtaining the fire on which she would prepare the family supper. By ac- cident she picked up bottle of the same size as that which contained the oil, not knowing that gasoline had been purchased 10 clean some cloth ing. The mistake in the bottles was fatal, for as she attempted to pour on some of the contents of the bottle, there was an explosion and in an in- stant she was wrapped in flames. Screaming frantically she rushed from the house. Her mother went to her and in trying to extinguish the flames which were enshrouding her daugh- ter she had her own arms burned almost to the bones. Murphy. propri- etor of the Bee Hive restaurant, Ed Cavanagh and other neighbors rush. ed to the scene and using blankets and a mattress ultimately managed te -extinguish the flames, but not before the clothing had been burned from the unfortunate girl, her body horribly blistered and charred and not until she had inhaled the flames.
 Girl is Brave
 Constable Frank Clark was notified and rau to the scene where he found the poor glrl the brayest of all. for while others wept and groaned she kept her senses and talked clearly of the matter.
 
 Dr. Armstrong was summoned and did all that could be done to relieve the sufferings of the girl. but her in juries were necessarily fatal and she died at an early hour this morning
 This morning the sympathy of neighbors was aroused for the poor burned and invalid mother with her four small children and a subsc-ip- tion list was started which early this afternoon amounted to a little over s25. Mrs. Yaeger, of the Mission house, whose charity is well known, will receive ali funds subscribed and apply them to the use Of the afflicted and destitute family. All those char itably inclined may send subscriptions in aid of the family to her.
 The body of Conception was taken to the Washington establishment and will be buried at the expense Of the county.
