$4,000 on Strike.

"These show that 125.oOo men and wom-
en- have heard the call and joined the
strike.
In addition to this there were a number
OF workingmen and women who were re-
quired to work during the day in order
to protect stocks and property of their
employers. These joined our movement
this evening.
For tomorrow we have called upon diff
ferent organizations to hold meetings, and
we request all workers who do not belong
to any organization to attend the most
convenient OF these meetings.
Monday there viii be meeting of the
Central Labor Union. which the general
public is invited TO attend.
I'VE have not heretofore offered any
suggestion OF a settlement, leaving that
up TO the unions interested. But we feel
that the time has arrived when we should
offer a proposition which we feel would be
. basis for fair settlement"
The committee here set forth the arbi-
tration plan outlined in the foregoing.
Proposition MAY Not Be Entertained
n the sentiment expressed by Rapid
Transit officials tonight is any criterion.
the proposition made by labor's commit
tee of ten to arbitrate will receive scant
attention from the company. The prop
os1tion is not yet in the hands OF the Of
fciaIs OF the company and until such
time as 1t is formally received they re-
fuse TO say what action will be taken.
Cnofhcially the proposition was dis
cussed in transit circles tonight It's fea-
lures and its provisions, it is declared,
contain nothing new.
The answer given to the proposition of
the churchman's and layman's commit
tee likely will be the answer to this
proposition, saying that the company has
no relations with the union and hence no
differences. according TO expressions
made
rumor that President Taft may be
asked to use his good offices to bring
about an end to the strike could not be
confirmed.
Strikers Difficult to Estimate.
There was a wide difference OF opinion
today as to the extent OF the strike. Sat

Industries no work being done at all on

Impossible TO get more than rough esti-
mates of the number of men that quit

through Charles 4. Hope secretary of
the Central Labor Union and a member
OF The committee. announced that reports
show that loOD0 union men are out and
that the walkout has affected 10000 other

Secretary Hope declared that bakers,

The greatest trouble was experienced
by the police at independence Square
There, despite the announcement by
Mayor Reyburn that no demonstration
could be held on that historic ground. a
crowd estimated at 5000 persons gath
cred to participate in or watch the dem

Policemen, mounted and afoot. were
there by the score with strict orders to
keep the crowd moving. The city author

it was the belief that if the immense
throng could be kept on the move trouble
would be averted
This was accomplished. 1t Is due to the

Committee of Ten Has Peace Plan.
The committee Of ten tonight issued
statement in which they submit a new
form OF arbitration to end the strike
The proposition is as follows: -
Let the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company reinstate all employees now on
strike 10 their old positions and let the
company then appoint one arbitrator and
VIC one, these two to be disirterested par
ties.
Let the two thus selected choose a.
third person and both parties to the dis
pute submit all questions to the board,
the decision of the majority to be final
and binding.
This proposition, 1t will be seen. In
cludes recognition of the union, one of
the issues between the transit company
and its striking employees.
The committee in its statement also
says: {
THE situation at the close of this, the
first day of the general strike, is highly
gratifying to us. While we have not been
able to get reports in from the 800 unions
within the city. we have received reports
from 160 unions and their sympathizing
friends.

FOUND DEAD IN WOODS.
Body Of Dedham Man Found by Fish
erman In Otis.

The body OF X. Alphonso Pinkham, Of
Dedham, was found in the woods in Otis
Sunday by Martin Moore and Harley
Black, OF Mariaville.
Moore and Black were on their way to
Mountain pond fishing Sunday morning.
They had crossed Beech Hill pond, and
taken wood-road leading from near the
head OF that pond to Mountain pond. A
few hundred yards from Beech Hill pond,
and just off the wood-road in a small
clearing they discovered the body of q
man, afterward identified as Pinkham's.
The body was stretched at full length on
the ground, as though the man had
fallen backward from knoll on which he
had been sitting.
There were no evidence of external
violence on the body, and the clothing
was torn and frayed as though the man
had been wandering in the woods.
Sheriff .Silsby was notified, and with
Coroner Simonton went to the scene Sun
day afternoon. The body was brought to
Ellsworth, where an autopsy was held
Monday by Medical Examiner Elmer j..
Morrison, of Bar Harbor, Coroner Simon
ton and Drs. Hagerthy, Woodruff, Hodg-
kins and King, OF Ellsworth. The result
of the autopsy was not made public. An
inquest will be held Friday.
Pinkham left his home in Dedham
Thursday morning to accompany two
Bangor men on fishing trip to the
vicinity Of Mountain pond. These men
say he left the camp Thursday afternoon
to go to his home by the way of the woods.
They did not see him again.
While it is generally believed that the
man lost his way in the woods and died of
exposure, there are. some circumstances
which suggest foul play, and the officials
are making thorough investigation.
Pinkham was forty-six years OF age.
He leaves wife and three children.

NEW YORK, April ia
dozen or more cotton dealers on
the cotton exchange were today
subpoenaed to appear before a
special federal grand jury called
by Attorney General Wickersham,
who proposes to investigate the
cotton pool and see what is up in
cotton.
Wickersham says 25 per cent of
the cotton operatives in the coun-
try have been forced out of work
by the Vaccinations of the cotton
pool and he is going after some
body. Frank B. Hayne and Will

He is thought to be the head OF
the cotton pool.

prices down so they can cover

NEW YORK, April 10. When
at 4 o'clock this afternoon Miss
Marjorie Gould becomes the bride
of Anthony Drexel, Jr., she will
make good her promise, made to
her father, two years ago. that she
would marry an American. In that
period Miss Gould has refused
small army of titled foreigners.
The present wedding has struck
a popular chord by following a
series of marriages of American
heiresses to foreign noblemen.
Following the ceremony and re-
turn of the guests to the Gould
mansion on Fifth avenue a buffet
collation. will be served before the
start of the honeymoon.
Thousands of dollars have been
spent in floral decorations. st.
Bartholomew church, in which
the ceremony will take place, was
a gigantic bower of red and white
roses backed with greenery.
Vivian Gould, a sister of the
bride, will be maid of honor.
There are dozens of reports
afloat as to. the route which the
young people will travel for their

Weller WILL ARRIVE IN
TACOMA ON THURSDAY

crime Weller engaged a launch
and returned to Point Defiance.
From this point until he turned
up in Portland the next day, the
police have no knowledge of his
movements.
Weller a Hard Drinker.
Weller is a hard drinker, ac-
cording to men who have known
him for several years. Some of
these friends believe that he was
also the victim of a drug habit.
The letters written by the accused
man and post cards which he
wrote to Lottie Freeman, the San
Francisco woman with whom he
was infatuated, give evidence of a
wandering mind. They are not
consecutive in thought and show
the effect Of labored, disordered
intellect. In one of these post
card messages to his Frisco
acquaintance Weller signed him
self, Your loving husband,
Charles ]. Wezler"
Puzzled Frisco Detectives.
During his four days incarcera-
tion in Frisco, Weller was an
enigma to the detectives of that
city. At one time he would admit
his identity and five minutes later
would stolidly deny that he had
ever been in Tacoma. When locked
up he had been suffering from
the elects of a prolonged spree, but
four days in his cell seemed. to
have sobered him up considerably
and he was calm and rational
when placed on board the north
bound train last night, according
to dispatches received over the
Times leased wire today.

LIGHT VOTE; NO FRAUD
MARKS ELECTION
Who's going to win?

Everybody is asking everybody
else that question today, as tue
ballots are falling in the contest
that will determine who will lie
the men to run Tacoma.
The polling places were all
opened at 8 o'clock today and the
casting of the vote was started.
Indications at noon were that
there would be fewer votes cast
than at the last election when the
mayor was to be elected and there
were 46 candidates in all, but
there may be a rush this after
noon that will cause the vote 20
go beyond the former figures.
The size of the vote, however,
is not causing as much discussion
as the chances of the various can
didates. All sorts of combinations
and reports of great accessions 20
various candidates were out early
today. One of the most impor-
tant actions taken by any organ
lied body, however, was the de-
cision last night of the Norwegian
American republican club. which
has a membership of nearly 500
members, to support the candi-
dates suggested by the Times last
night as the most available.

passengers were placed in jeop-

and three baggage cars left the

a high rate of speed when it
struck the obstruction. Three
hundred yards of track were
plowed up by the overturned en-
gine and cars.
Engineer Hardner and a tramp
