STRUCK BY CAR
MAY DIE OF
WOUNDS
YOUNG HORSEBACK RIDER In
CRITICAL CONDITION AS A
RESULT OF BEING RUN

NUE-HORSE TO BE SHOT.

John Paulson, aged 23 years
employed as deliveryman for the
Roosevelt market on East v street,
today lies in critical condition al
his home, East 35th street and
Portland avenue, from internal in
juries received in a street car ac-
cident late Saturday afternoons and
the horse on which young Paul.
son was riding will have to be
shot.
!, Paulson was taking the horse
out into the snow for the first
time and when next to the Port
land avenue car track at the cor-
ner of 35th street, the animal be-
came frightened and refused to
move just as an inbound car was
approaching. Paulson signaled to
the motorman to stop, but the car
continued to bear down upon him
and struck the horse and rider at
full speed.
Paulson was hurled several
yards. He is today suffering from
internal hemorrhages and his re-
covery is doubtful.

Six Called Out Here

Six trainmasters who regulate
the train service of the local
Northern Pacific yards, were call
ed out today by the order from
President Shepherd of the Order of
Railway conductors, calling out all
conductors who have been promot-
ed to positions as trainmasters.
The six Tacoma men who hold this
position have been busy breaking
in" green strike breakers, and
their loss will be a severe blow to
the railroads in their fight agaiast
the striking switchmen, the strik-
ers say.
The local switchmen are elated
at the news. as they consider the
services of six trainmasters equal
to that of sixty strikebreakers in
the local struggle.
f. j. Maxfield, who returned
from st. Paul to direct the switch
mems strike in Tacoma, this after
noon received the following mes
sage from President +. T. Hawley:
Expect affairs to come to an
end soon. Everything is at a
standstill here and everywhere
else. If you can hold every switch
man out there we win. Switch
mems unions in all big terminals
have demanded an advance and
have instructions to be ready. No
desertions reported. Wire me
particulars of the strike there. .
Secretary F. t. Gottry of local
Switchmen's union No. 1876, says
that only six engines were rum
ming in the Northern Pacific
yards yesterday.

Itol
The ceremonies today were
brief, consisting of the formal ap.
pointment of committees to notify
the president that congress is in
session.
The first day was set aside as a
itime to pay respect to the mem-
ory of members who have died
during the vacation period. When
1.-THE adjournment was taken un-
til tomorrow, 1t was for that pur-
pose.
Message Tomorrow.
The message of President Taft
is expected to be read tomorrow
and until then the leaders are not
taking any decisive steps.
Though there is general idea
of what may be expected in the
presidential communication, as
Taft has outlined his policies

the much talked of play here will
make 1t more difficult to secure
the next jury to try Mrs. Kvals-
haugh as it is likely that the
prosecution would object to any
man who had seen the ~rhird

The striking similarity between
the murder case in the play and
the Kvalshaug case as presented
by the woman's attorneys i'm
pressed everyone, and it was clear
that some of the ideas put forward
by the defense were secured from
the drama.
