STATE FAIR OPENED
WITH LARGE CROWD
Magnificent Buildings Fail to Accom-
modate Many Exhibits-W. c.
7. U. and Grape Growers
Make Fine Showing

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 3O.-The Cali
fornia state fair of 1900 opened here
formally this evening under suspicious
circumstances.
The three handsome new buildings
constructed and equipped at Agricul-
tural park at a cost Of 100000 were
jammed to overfloWing with the largest
exhibit of California products the state
has ever collected in one spot.
Three immense tents are not enough
to hold the overflow, and many tardy
exhibitors failed to secure space.
Judge Harry Melvin Of Oakland de-
livered the dedicatory address this
evening. Tomorrow the city trustees
have ordained shall be legal holiday
and practically every store in the city
will be closed in order that the attend
ance may be swelled as much as pos
sible.
Twenty-six counties are exhibiting In
addition to nearly 100 individual firms
Several shipments of prize stock have
been received from Atlantic sections
and the fair directors are elated over
the unprecedented showing.
Among the interesting exhibits are
those of the California grape growers
and the w. C. r. u, which are com
peting for public favor from close
quarters.

nITTSBURG. Aug. 30.-With killing
and manning Of men on strike at
u the works of the Pressed Stee!
Car company at McKees Rocks, Pa,
the trouble bids fair to rank with the
bloody labor struggles at Homestead,
Pullman and other places at which men
have fought and died in disputes over
conditions of employment The COM
batants on one side are workmen who
maintain that they have been unfairly
treated by the introduction of a new
pay system and on the other side mem
bers of the state constabulary, used to
protect the company's property and
employees In addition there are hun
dreds of strike breakers, who have
suffered severely when caught in
groups or individually by the in
furiated strikers. The trouble began in
July. when about 5000 workmen
mainly foreigners, struck against con-
ditions which their spokesmen say
amount to virtual slavery. The reply
of President Hoffsot of the company
denied any unfairness in the hated
new pooling" system of paying wages.
He maintained that the dissatisfied
employees of the company were free to
quit if the terms of employment did
not please them. After it was proved
that the local police and deputy sher-
iffs were unable to quell the riotous
demonstrations of the strikers the state
stabulary was called upon for aid

COMMERCIAL CABLE MUST
TREAT COMPANIES ALIKE
Western Union Telegraph Demands
Same Rates as Those Accorded
the Postal Company

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3O.-Mes-
sages originating at any point along
the lines of the Western Union Tele-
graph company and forwarded TO San
Francisco to be carried to points in
the Pacific ocean reached by the cables
of the Commercial Gable company,
must be carried at the same rate as
that granted by the cable company to
the Postal Telegraph company, an
affiliated corporation, according to a
ruling handed down by Superior Judge
SeaWeu today.
heretofore the cable company has
received messages from the Postal
wires and forwarded without adding
sub-date lines to show that they are
routed via san Francisco.
The latter practice was enforced
with relation to Western Union mes
sages, the result being that cables
sent via Western Union cost consider
ably more than those sent via Postal.
The Western Union secured a tenn
porarv injunction restraining the cable
company from adding the sub-heads
and Judge SeaWell refused today to
ouash the Injunction as was petitioned
bv the cable company

DIRECT NOMINATIONS
BITTERLY DENOUNCED
Committeeman Says Political Anarchy
Exists in Middle West-Deplores
Factions in Two Old
Parties

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 30.-"Direct
nominations as we have seen them
make the greatest gold brick that was
ever handed a contiding people," was
the declaration here today of Assem-
blyman Robert j. Conklin Of New
York city, a member of the special
legislative committee appointed to in
vestigate the direct primaries.
THE people of New York state" he
said, had no idea of the political
anarchy that exists in middle western
states. Direct nominations have
driven parties entirely out of existence
in many communities.
In Wisconsin there Is no longer a
Republican party and Democratic
party. There are several factions, the
most prominent of which are the stall
warts and half f-breeds. The latter are
the followers of Lafollette and the for
mer are his opponents.
"Those who were at one time Demo-
Gratis have disappeared and gone into
the Republican party, so-called, to
vote at the primaries. There are no
longer party principles, but only per-
sonal views Of faction leaders.
ITO some extent this same state or
affairs exists in Iowa and Kansas.
Time and again we met with the
expression from the biggest men in
the cities we visited: For Gods sake
don't inflict this iniquity on the state
of New York."

STEAMERS DRAW TOO MUCH
90 WATER FOR INSIDE COURSE

SEATTLE Aug. 9O.-Capt. F. f.
Burns manager of the Alaska Steam
ship company, whose steamer Ohio was
lost in an unlighted channel off North
ern British Columbia last Thursday,
said today:
ut was not more than a few years
ago the statement was made that YES
sells of ten-feet draught could use the
inside passage between here and
Alaska Year by year in response to
the trade of the north, steamers of
deeper and depper draught have been
put on the run.
1.-The Ohio drew twenty-five feet of
water. Consequently all vessels of her
tonnage run the risk of striking sub
merged rocks not charted on maps
drawn to safeguard navigation when
smaller ships were the rule. So long
as the bigger ships are put on the
Alaska, run there will be constant dan
ger unless the inside passage is thor
oughly surveyed and every menace to
navigation, at a reasonable depth,
charted.

WOULD KILL PAY
CHECK SYSTEM
WANTS WAGES PAID IN Cash
OR EQUIVALENT
ABOLITION OF PAPER PAYMENTS
TO BE DEMANDED
PhiIanthropicaI Order Requests Board
of Supervisors of Los Angeles to
Pass Ordinance Compelling
Money Settlements

Initial steps looking to a discontinue
ance of the pay check system were
taken in Los Angeles yesterday, Wneh
a COPY of an ordinance, recently adopt
ed by the board of supervisors OF san
Francisco, was submitted to the local
supervisorial body. The ordinance was
accompanied by a letter from "a. Z.
Smith, president of the Golden Rule
Order of the World, trainers of the
new law, and whose headquarters Is
at Berkeley.
The necessity for an ordinance of
this nature was brought forcibly to
the attention of public bodies as the
result of testimony taken at the cor
oners inquest on the body of Caroline
Brasch, bookkeeper for Gray
Brothers of San Francisco, who was
shot and killed by James e. Cunning
ham, an employe of the firm, June 30.
Cunningham is said to have been
victim of the pay check system which
permits the payment of wages In paper,
which cannot be cashed sometimes for
months, and compels wage earners TO
discount their earnings with brokers
at ruinous rates or forces them into
saloons for no other purpose than that
a portion of their wages shall be spent
over the bar.
The Golden Rule Order Of the World
is described by Mr.. Smith as broad,
non-sectarian organization, organized,
among other things, to assist, help and
protect those who are unable, through
inability or force of circumstances, to
help themselves. and those who are
friendless and unfortunate.
The evil effects of the system are
forcefully expressed in the report of
the coroner's jury following the death
Of Miss Brasch. The direct cause of
the crime. says the report, was the
peonage or pay system alleged to be
used by Gray brothers and other en-
ployers of manual labor workingmen
being compelled to await the pleasure
of their employers until pay day ar
Tives.
The ordinance prohibits the issuing
of checks. orders or memoranda unless
the same are redeemable at some bank
without discount. The need for its
adoption is said to be apparent at the
present time when n large amount of
county work is pending or already be-
ing done by contractors,
The matter was submitted to the dis
trict attorneys office, with a suggestion
that 1t be approved.

FALLS INTO WATER FROM
STEAMER OHIO; IS RESCUED

SEATTLE, Aug. 3O.-S. S. Burdette,
former commander in chief Of the g. a:
r. former congressman from Missouri
and former commissioner of the general
land office, was one of the passengers
on the lost steamer Ohio, and was not
taken off by the lifeboats but was
picked up by boat while struggling
in the water.
. Capt. Burdette, who lost all his per-
sonal effects, arrived here today unin-
iured and says that when the rescue
work began he helped to get the
women, children and young men
aboard, thinking they were worth more
to the world than a man of 76.
When the vessel was engulfed Capt.
Burdette was on the deck. Fortunately
a wave swept him clear of the whirl-
pool, and as he was a good swimmer
he kept afloat until picked up by boat,

COURT UPH0LDS TAX ON
STOCK OF CORPORATIONS
Outside Companies Doing Business In
Colorado Must Pay for
Privilege

DENVER, Aug. 30.-Judge Lewis, in
the federal court. upheld the validity
of the fiat tax of 81 per year today.
imposed by Colorado on every $1,000 of
capital stock of foreign corporations
doing business in this state.
In this connection he sustained the
demurrer of former Secretary of State
O'Connor to the complaint of the At
Gibson. Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
that the tax was an interference with
interstate commerce.
O'Connor was given the Santa Fe's
tax of $4,000 under protest, and the
court also holds that this was vol
untary payment, and as such the state
is entitled to retain the money.
OConnor, in view of the protest kept
the money until the case could be set
tied in court.
The Santa Fe brought suit to re-
cover, and today's decision is the out
