The PHILADELPHIA labor troubles

The Philadelphia labor troubles
may be forerunner of general
war between labor and capital.
The sympathy strikes there in sup

MISSOURI'S SENIOR
SENATOR INVITED
SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Governor Hadley Let Him Have Full
Play, Then Made Him Laughing
Stock For The People.

special correspondence
Jefferson City, March 7.-Sena-
tor Stone is now in a position to
appreciated the story Champ
Clark told in Congress of the man
who had engraven upon his tomb
stone: 'He whistled for the bear
and the bear came" He has been
trying to start controversy with
Governor Hadley ever since the
latter was inaugurated. When the
Legislature. on Joint ballot, elected
him Senator. after the Folk forces
had ta,nely declined to contest the
regularity of his nomination, be
violated the propriety of the occa-
sion by making an attack upon all
the policies that Governor Hadley
had, a few days before, advocated
in his inaugural address. A few
months later be opposed upon the
floor of the United States Senate a
resolution that was introduced by
Senator Warner at the request of
Governor Hadley asking for an in-
vestigation by the Inter state Com
merce Commission of the railroad
rates west of the Missouri river.
And again, last November, when
there was no particular occasion or
justification for it, Senator Stone
made another attack upon Cover
nor Hadley based upon what he
characterized as The extravagances
of bis administration.
The Governor treated with in
difference these charges, but when
he went into the Sixth district and
found Senator Stone had preceded
him, repeating the charges of ex-
travagance, the Governor remark
ed that he wished that the dlstin
guished Senator was an Issue in
the campaign, as he would then
feel more certain of the results.
And he also added that be did not
regard the result of the last cleo
tion rs an honest expression of the
opinion Of the people of Missouri,
as be did not believe the votes in
the senatorial primary had been
honestly counted. Senator Stone
then demanded that Governor Had
ley give the reasons on which be
based this statement, and in this
way the controversy started.
When Senator Stone thought
the ballots had been destroyed he
bitterly complained because the
opportunity to recount them, and
thus prove the honesty OF his nom
ination, no longer existed. When
Governor Hadley advised him that
the ballots were in existence and
asked him and Governor Folk to
consent TO recount, the Senator
refused his consent on the grounds
that it would be unconstitutional
to recount the ballots. Stone has
thus made himself the laughing
stock of the people of the state and
is discredited today as he has new
er been before-not even when he
claimed to represent the fake Mis-
souri, Health Society at time
when he was paid lobbyist of the
Baking Powder Trust.

DOCK CO. EXPLAINS GIFT
OF BELT LINE RIGHTS
President Curtis Says Transpor-
tation Facilities NeceS-
Sary to Good Harbor

LONG BEACH, July 19.-The first
extended explanation of the deal re-
Gently completed whereby the Dock &
Terminal company gave its belt line
rights of way around the local harbor
to the Pacific Electric Railway com
pany. was given today at noon by
President c. J. Curtis of the Dock
company, in an address before the
realty board at its luncheon at Hotel
Julian.
lone of the chief qualifications of a
harbor," he said, 'is it's transporta-
tion facilities. Our harbor is located
so that all we had to do was to con-
meet it with several railroads. AT
other points the railroads of the coast
have gone into harbors on an exclu-
sive basis, practically closing it to
everything else. even a wagon road.
But we decided to have a harbor
that's free to everybody. A man can
drive his wagon up to our harbor and
have the same hauling privileges as
a corporation. We have decided to
the Pacific Electric company the hold
ings we reserved for a belt line and
we have reserved for the benefit of
the public a forty-foot roadway. There
is to be no discrimination in the rout-
ing of goods from our harbor Every
shipper can route as he pleases.
believe the contract the company has
made with us is more favorable to
Long Beach than any other similar
contract is with any other town in
the United States.
1.-THE Pacific Electric touches the
waterfront at no other point and its
preparation indicates that it is going
to handle a great deal of freight
That means the company will help
Long Beach to grow. Our harbor has
a safe entrance, It is protected by the
government breakwater and we have
lots of ground back of the waterfront.
There will be an abundant amount of
freight to be shipped. Thirty thou
sand cars of oranges must go to New
York every year. to say nothing of the
other fruits. An enormous trade is
going to develop between this coast
and the Orient and Long Beach will
get her share"
Another speaker was A. NJ. Goodhue.
who pointed out several reasons why
he thought Long Beach would do we'll
to buy the entire harbor. 1.-The city
must own ground for factories" he
urged "There is but one way of get
ting around the problem in a compara-
lively inexpensive way and that is
to buy the company's holdings and
lease it for factory sites at nominal
rate as the railroads do"
He pointed out that the city al
ready had evidenced it's determination
to become a shipping point by vot--
ing s245,0 bonds for municipal
wharves and subscribing 100000 to
bring the Craig shipyard to the local
harbor. Henry P. Barbour was an
other speaker. The members of the
board were photographed today and
the picture will be run in the boards

ON CITY COMMISSION
William R. Nash Selected by the
Pasadena Council

PASADENA, July 20.-Another
wealthy west side resident has been
appointed on the board of city COM
missioners in the person of William
r. Nash, 27 North Grand avenue, who
was selected by the city council yes
terday to succeed DR.. Rudolph Schitf-
man, recently resigned The appoint
ment was made on the recOmmenda-
tion of Mayor Farley in accord with
his policy to place on the board of
commissioners men of means who
have no active business interests and
who can afford to devote sufficient
time to city affairs. Mr.. Nash was
formerly engaged in the mercantile
and manufacturing business in Chi
cago He has resided in Pasadena
four years. Like his millionaire col
league, John V. Eliot, who was re-
Gently appointed, he has held no
public office before.
One of the first problems with which
the new commissioners will have to
wrestle is the protest of residents in
Arbor street and vicinity against
speeding on that thoroughfare. The
matter was referred to the commits
sioners yesterday by the city council.
The protest is signed by E. W. Knowl-
ton, Clara S. Watson, Harrison L.
Drummond, Blanche B. Hugus, Carrie
Jensen, A. c. ladder, Georgia Bowen
and H. f. Spears. They ask the Of
ficials to prohibit the use of Arbor

place for motorcycles and automobiles,
as it has become a nuisance and
dangerous to foot passengers"

SPOKANE LAUDS PAVING
METHOD OF PASADENA

PASADENA, July 20.-Councilman
Hotaling suggests that Pasadena
should get a patent on its system of
laying oil macadam pavement. His
suggestion followed the request for
two weeks extension by Street super
intendent Boyer, who is on leave of
absence in Spokane, showing city Of
ficials there how Pasadena constructs
its streets.
When the Spokane boosters toured
Southern California last winter they
asked Superintendent Boyer to spend
his summer vacation in the northern
city and oversee the building of oil
macadam streets there.
Boyer has been there for six weeks,
and they are so pleased with his work
they want him for two weeks longer.
The request was granted He is being
paid by the Spokane boosters, who
raised a fund of $4,000 for special
work in connection with their streets
in addition to the regular street fund.
Mayor Farley added his testimonial to
the quality of Pasadena's oil macadam
pavement, stating that on his recent
automobile journey of 1900 miles he saw
no streets to compare with Pasa
dena's except a short strip in Santa
Rarbara
