NEW YORK, Nov. mo material
progress was made today toward set
Ting the strike of express employees
which has been in progress nearly a
week.
An attempt to hold a conference be-
tween Governor Fort of New Jersey
and Mayor Gaynor of New York and
Mayor Wittpenn of Jersey City on the
one hand and the strike leaders and
officials of the express companies on
the other, failed because Governor
Fort was unable to be present at Jer-
sey City. Mayor Wittpenn, however,
had a conference with some of the
strike leaders. He would not talk to-
night concerning what had been done
looking to a settlement.
The strike extended today to Newark,
where a number of drivers went out,
while in New York the wagon employees
of several big department stores Joined
in the movement.
The leaders late tonight made the
threat that unless the trouble is speed
lily adjusted they will call out 10000
drivers of all classes of vehicles.
POLICE QUELL RIOTS
There was rioting in many parts of
Jersey City and in Manhattan today.
For the most part, however, the out
breaks were quickly quelled by the po-
lice. Arrests were made in nearly
every instance.
Hitherto most of the magistrates
have been content to infiict small fines
on such offenders. Two magistrates
announced today that, beginning to-
morrow, anyone convicted of disor-
derby conduct in connection with the
strike would be given a workhouse
sentence.
Steps looking toward the restora-
tion of express service throughout the
city were taken today by the execu-
tive committee of the Merchants as
sociation, acting on the complaint of
members that the strike has caused
disorganization and great inconveni-
ence.
The committee urged the police to
afford necessary protection for opera
tion of all express wagons.

NOISY GREETING
Entire Voting Population of Goa
Iinga Goes Wild Over the
Democratic Candidate
Especial to The Herald

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The en-
turned out to greet the Bell party
with uproar of anvils and bombs to-
night. Over 1000 men jammed the Ar
cade rink and gave the Democratic
candidate for governor and his aids
undivided atatention for two hours.
The meeting ended in a wild storm of
cheers and yells OF encouragement.
Tim Spellacy was in his element. As
he alighted from the auto a crowding
circle of friends hastened to shake
hands with him. Spellacy made a
short convincing talk, after which Bell
was introduced.
Bell put his Republican opponent on
the defensive from the start. AS he
shot his telling arguments at the au-
dience he was many times interrupted
by storms of applause.
HAS Johnson promised to do any
thing to take the state institutions out
of politics?" he said. 81 am making
that promise. A man has no right to
a position Of trust merely because he
is q Democrat or a Republican.

from a non-partisan standpoint. But
what of Johnson?"
At Hanford every inch of the Han
ford opera house was occupied by the
crowd which turned out to hear Bell.
AS much of Lemoore as could pack
itself into the town opera house was
out to hear the Democratic candidate,
"This towns all for you, Theodore, a
was frequently shouted from the au-
dience. The Bell party left Fresno to-
night for San Francisco, in the vicinity
of which city the party will spend the

MEXICAN TROOPS
PURSUEKI KIDNAPERS
OF AMERICAN GIRL
Two Regiments Join the Mounted

for the DesperadOes
VICTIMS FATE is NOT KNOWN
Grace RoIph, 16-Year-0ld Neb-
raska Miss, Carried Away
Into Wild Region
FATE is NOT KNOWN
Associated Pressl

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 1.-The fate Of
Grace Rolph, the 16-year-old Nebraska
girl who was kidnapped by Mexicans
several days ago from a ranch in the
state Of Tamalpais, was still in doubt
tonight. No word has come from the
posse that went in pursuit of the kid
napers. Two regiments of troops are
now in pursuit of the men.
The country into which the kidnap-
ers and pursuers have plunged is wild
and sparsely settled, and the absence
of facilities for communication, it is
said, make it doubtful If anything can
be heard of them until the men are
captured or the posse returns baffled.
In the meantime the Mexican au
thorities have taken active steps to
aid in the capture. Squads of rurales,
the Mexican mounted national police,
have been sent into the Huasteca dis
trict from the opposite direction, with
instructions to search the country
thoroughly. Foreign Minister Creel to-
day at the request of the American
ambassador, instructed the governors
of Vera Cruz and Tamalpais to assist
in the search in every possible man
ner. If the men are captured, he says,
they will receive the extreme limit of
punishment under the law.

peared in the list since June 1, 1909.

at times, but it was finally brought
out that If jobbers purchased ware
from manufacturers not in the COM
bination either the manufacturers or
Weyman might cancel the contract.

STUDENT ELOPERS
OUTRAGE MOTHER.
Mary Maier and Martin Tisdale,
High School Pupils, Have
Exciting Adventure

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. Three
cities in San Bernardino valley were
today treated with as many chapters
in one of the most sensational elope-
ments ON record. The developments in
the matrimonial marathon that finally
ended in the safe marriage OF Miss
Mary L. Maier, age IS, and Martin Tis-
dale, age 10, both high school students
of Redlands, were fast and fur1ous,
commencing with footrace through
the principal streets of that city, in
which the young girl succeeded in out
distancing her mother and gaining the
automobile in which her sweetheart
was waiting.
The course then lay across the val
ley to San Bernardino, the automobile
hurrying without regard to speed linn
it's in an effort to head off possible
intervention OF the angry parent either
by trolley or another machine. Here
the young people were met by the
father of the lad, who had given his
consent to the marriage and already
secured the license.
MOTHER LATE AT SCENE
The elder Tisdale climbed in the au-
tomobile and the last lap of the race
was started for Cotton, where the two
sweethearts were made husband and
wife before the mother of the girl could
reach the scene. Rev. E. l.. B. Nc
Clellan of the Presbyterian church of
Cotton performed the ceremony, while
j. A. Tisdale, the father bestowed his
blessing on his new daughter and his
son.
The Redlands high school was the
scene of the courtship of the couple,
and they had secretly agreed that No
Vember 1 should be their wedding day,
despite the objection of the girls
mother, who desired that her daughter
graduate with her class before taking
up the duties Of a wife. 1t is said that
her father, Jacob Maier, of 112 Olive
street, Redlands, had no serious OBJ
lection and absented himself when he
saw the storm brewing.
Miss Maier left home as usual to go
to school. but taking with her more
clothing than seemed necessary After
she left her mother suspected that
plot was on to defeat her objections,
and set out in search of her daughter.
She met her on one of the business
streets of the city, and the footrace
that took the two through stores, back
alleys and a livery stable started.
APPEALS PUZZLE CROWDS
''Stop' her." screamed the mother as
she saw her daughter gaining ground.
"Stop her." yelled the fleeing girl,
and the crowd in puzzled uncertainty
allowed both to flee on without inter-
ference. Miss Maier escaped her
mother by scrambling through a livery
stable and jumping into the automo-
bile of her sweetheart at the appointed
place.
Tisdale is a football hero of the Red
lands high school,
