BIG FRENCH STRIKE

Paris, France, Oct. 1.-Employes
of the Northern railroad went on a
strike early today At noon the tie
up of the road was practically COM
plete The military engineers were
called on to replace the strikers but
the number is inadequate. Several
acts of violence occurred before day
break. Military forces have taken
possession of several stations and
are posted along the road. The
strike developed over night and took
the company by complete surprise.
The strike is due to the company S
refusal to increase the wages of the
men TO a minimum of 81 per day and
to grant other concessions.

BUILDING PLAN IS
SATISFACTORY
Y. M. G.. A. Secretary Com
pared Nelson Building
to Local Plans.

Secretary 0. E. Mclaughlin, of
the Y. NJ. C. A, returned last night
| from Nelson, B. c., where he went
to inspect the Y. NJ. C.. A. building.
The report had come to the directors
of the local association that the Mel
son building, at a cost of 100000,
had three stories and was remark
ably commodious structure consider
| ing the cost. For the same amount
of money the local directors were
able to arrange for only two stories.
The purpose of Mr.. Mclaughlin
visit was TO learn how it was pos
sible, for this amount of money, to
have three stories.
To the Daily World this morning
the secretary stated that the Nelson
building was inferior in many res
poets and showed the lack of knowl-
edge of the needs of Y. NJ. G. A.
building. The Wenatchee building,
with only two stories, will have all
the room for each department and
all the features of the Nelson build
ing, although only two stories, while
the building in the Canadian city
has three stories. The latter has a
| bowling alley, and this is the only
feature it enjoys which will not be
included here.
1t is announced that the architect
now has the plans almost completed
and the work of laying the founda-
ton will begin next week. The Sec
rotary and directors are absolutely
satisfied that Wenatchee will have
the most complete and up to date Y.
NJ. c. A. building possible to obtain
with the amount of money at their
disposal.

Sacramento, Calf, Oct. IL
George Wallace, a late arrival in
Sacramento from San Francisco and
Los Angeles, was arrested here today
on suspicion of being one of the dy-
namiters of the Los Angeles Times
building or having been in the plot
Wallace will be held pending adj
vices from Los Angeles. Detectives
have been watching the postoffice
for Wallace for several days and
following his appearance today he
was arrested. The arrest was made
as he was endeavoring to destroy
two letters he had received. 1t is
upon the contents of these letters
that Chief of Police Ahern rests his
faith that he has made valuable
catch. Pieced together the letters
show that Wallace left Los Angeles

T0UN|TEAPP[E
DISTRICTS
IN ONE
Commercial Club Considers
Huge Union of Growers
for Northwest.

A large portion of the evening at
the Commercial Club last night was
devoted to a discussion of the apple
market conditions and the advisable
ity Of organization somewhat after
the order of the Southern California
Fruit Exchange, as described at
length in a recent issue of the Daily
World.
HI. w. Otis, of Peshastin, intro
duced the question. He said:
II saw a man on the street today
selling extra fancy peaches for al
most nothing. 1t was an object les
SON to me. When will we wake up
to realize the conditions now con-
trolling the fruit market?
81 have a plan to offer. 1t may
be crude, but it will start discussion
that may result in something tangi-
BILE. The local fruit growers asso-
citation is wholly inadequate. We
must organize the entire northwest.
Failing in this the Columbia river
basin at least must be united so as
to control the larger portion of the
crop.
LET there be a board of directors
with one member representing each
district. Each one of these men
must be the very strongest man of
his community; elect an executive
head, preferably not one of our own
section. The headquarters of this
association should not be here, but
rather in Chicago, where large stor-
age houses and selling organiZa-
ton consisting of an adequate num-
Der of statesmen shall be operating
in order to make an effective distri-

lowing the dynamiting and it is in
timated that Wallace knows much
concerning the inside of the affair.
That Wallace was arrested in Los
Angeles after the Times building
was blown up is made clear in the
letter, for at is stated that Wallace's
friend was surprised when they
learned that he told the chief of
police that he was a native of GlaS-
gov. and in commenting on that he
stated he knows what is means. Ref
erence is made to the activity of the
detectives, police, special agents and
others in running down the clues TO
the dynamiting, and special refer
ence is made to Detective w. j..
Burns.
The author of the letter says he
was held up several times and
searched for firearms while walking

WANT BANK BOODLER
Receiving Teller of the Los Angeles
Bank Short Near $50, 600.

Los Angeles. Calf, Oct. 1.-THE
police Of all sections of the country
are notified to search for Wilson B.
Evans, the alleged absconding re-
ceiving teller of the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank, who dis
appeared Sept. II to go on his vaca-
ton. He has not returned and an
Investigation of his department has
shown considerable shortage. The
bank officials say his bond OF $10.-
600 will about cover the shortage
but there are rumors that the short
age will reach near $4,000.

the streets, and that the police are
like a lot of vultures in their quest
for the guilty ones.
Other letters indicate that the
writer knows much, but it contains
nothing leading to the clue. Wallace
almost collapsed when arrested. He
declared he did not know what his
friend was driving a when he refer
red to the dynamite. One letter con-
tanned a bitter reference to Otis and
Chandler, but Wallace says he does
not know them. Wallace told Ahern
that he was a native of Sydney, Au-
stralia that he had been employed
in Los Angeles as a gardener at the
home of Los Angeles detective. 1t
is known that the man who wrote
the letters is a miner of Eldorado
county.

RECOVERING
VICTIMS Of
MINE
Rescuers Taking Men Out of
Starkville Mine - All
Are Dead.

Starkville, Colo, Oct. 1.-THE
bodies of the first two victims of Sat
urdays explosion were brought out
this afternoon. The appearance in
dicates that they were killed by the
force of the explosion rather than
through the effects of firedamp.
The tedious work of rescue is be-
ing delayed by the presence of the
deadly afterdamp which has accumu-
lated in great quantities. In several
chambers of the mine fans are work
ing but they have not been able to
keep the mine clear of deadly gases.
Coroner Gullfoyle says his investi-
cation of the cause of the accident
will be most thorough and he has
issued summons to a large number
of persons connected with the mine.
Nine more bodies have been found
one thousand feet from the entrance
of the mine and must be carried over
the badly wrecked passageway
Word was received from Washing
ton that a special car carrying gov
eminent mining experts and miners
trained for rescue work, left Seattle
today. This was the first word that
has been received here that the fed
eral government had intended to be
represented in the rescue work at the
Starkville mine. 1t is generally be-
lieved today that none of the min
ers imprisoned in Saturdays explos-
ion are still alive
All day yesterday the rescuers
worked. They believed the portable
fan forcing pure air into the work
ings would keep the men in the ex-
IRENE southern portion of the mine
alive until they could be reached, but
as the day rescue party stumbled
glance at their weary, dust-grimed
faces told the watchers that hope was
almost extinguished.
After a day of arduous work in the
face of constant peril. the rescue
party had penetrated the mine near
ly 10000 feet, or within 900 feet OF
the men imprisoned nearest the main
entrance. Instead of finding the
mine clear of debris and after-damI
at this point, the workings were
found to be wrecked and poisonous
air was present in quantities. The
leaders would not consent to the res
cuers going farther.

ture in the public schools, declared
in favor of meeting the emergency
with the help of the school children.
He foresaw the possible loss of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars with
in the next few days unless the crop
is picked at once.
Opinion of School Director.
To a reporter of the Daily World
this morning. School Director Battles
stated that he had sought legal adj
vice and found that the board is le-
gally powerless to dismiss school for
q period of week or more He
realized the gravity of the situation
and would be in favor of acting for
the good of the whole, but hoped a
solution could be reached without
seriously interfering with the years

The teachers of the high school
they agreed among themselves 10
give personal assistance to all pupils
who leave school this week in order
TO work at apple picking. Superin-
tendent Brown this morning took a
vote in the high school and found
that not over one-third of the pupils
would engage in orchard work even
if school were dismissed. One boy
IS years OF age, whose father is one
of the most prominent growers in
the valley and who has an enormous
crop which he is having much diff
ficulty in getting picked and packed
on account of the scarcity of labor,
said that he would not do any work
in his fathers orchard even if school
was dismissed When asked his rea-
son, he said he did not have to work,
and furthermore, that his father was
hot anxious to have him work in the
orchard. The superintendent is very
glad he has been able to adjust this
matter without interfering with the
school work and causing an unpleas-
ant discussion in the community.
Club Asked Action.
". T. Clark made a motion at the
meeting of the Commercial Club last
night that in view of a great emerg-
ency the school board be requested
TO dismiss school for two weeks. This
motion was made as the elimination
of a long discussion regarding the
desperate situation that exists. l.
was passed by unanimous vote of the
members present.
Two of the school board members
were present at the meeting. Mr..
Baptie was strongly in favor of the
action, while DR.. Blake was doubtful
whether such a radical move is ad
visable or necessary.
George Farwell introduced the
proposition. He stated that in two
weeks the schools would be closed
for a week in order to permit the
teachers to attend their institute.
That would be too late for the as
sistance of the pupils to be of much
benefit to the growers. He declared
that fully half the scholars are able
to be of great help in the orchards.
DR.. Blake said that he had taken
up with the county superintendent
the advisability of changing the date
of the teachers institute and that he
says it is impossible to secure the
speakers engaged for any other time
than Oct 20 to 81. The doctor
thought only a portion of the high
school scholars would be willing to
work and that the lower grade pu-
pills would not be efficient.
Mr. Farwell replied that two-thirds
of the eighth grade will furnish bet
ter help as pickers and packers than
the average adults.
Ira Edwards and W. T. Clark told
OF the organization of sort of un-
ion among many of the packers who
are preparing to strike for higher
wages. These men are unskilled and
inferior labor in all respects.
To the suggestion of H. L. Wies-
ter that those pupils who are willing
to work be dismissed without losing
credit, Director Baptie replied that
pupils fear being put at disadvan-
tage with their companions.
U. G. Pogue felt that the orchards
of this valley have built the fine
schools of the city and that the pu-
pills should be educated from now
on to take care of those orchards.
He even favored beginning the term
thirty days later every year.

Baltimore Fire in Europe.

A false report emanating from
Paris, the effect Of which was that
one-half of the city of Baltimore
Md. was in ashes, was printed widely
in Germany. The loss by fire was es-
timated at s60,00O,00 700, and the re-
ported disaster evoked sympathetic
editorials in the newspapers, which
also in many cases reprinted the
story. of Baltimore's conflagration OF
some years ago.
Many Americans, some OF them
from Baltimore, made anxious visits
to the American Embassy and the
newspaper Offices in Berlin inquiring
for details.
There was a fire in Baltimore with
a loss of something like 8. quarter OF
a million dollars. No person was
harmed and the blaze attractedSno
particular attention outside ofHthat
city on this side of the Atlantic
New York Times.

LAW MAKERS OF
SOUTH CAROLINA
Below is given a brief summary Of
the doings of the lawmakers of the
South Carolina General Assembly
! day by day:
MoNDAY-Jan. oath.

The Senate.-Carlisle pushed mat
tiers by having the prohibition bill of
last year substituted by the new pro-
hibition bill of his own and thereby
the position on the calendar consider
ably advanced. Ever. since the "com-
promise measure Of last session and
the subsequent elections in the q
counties of this State, it has been evl-
dent that if the prohibitionists de-
cided to press their claims further
the State senate would be the scene
Of combat. The senate's position on
the whiskey question has not yet been
made known. AS has been already
stated there is a difference of opin-
ion as to whether the compromise of
last session should be binding or not
on some of the members. Although
the members now appear to be prac-
tically evenly divided, either on the
question Of prohibition or whether or
not the compromise should be bind
ing on this session, the vote on the
adoption of the bill as passed in the
senate last session would indicate that
80 out Of the 80 members present
voted for the measure. Some of the
prohibitionists do not consider the
compromise binding, for a Statewide
bill has been introduced i'll both the
house and the senate. Bat as pre-
dicted the first fight on the bill will
be in the senate, the measure being
on the calendar as an adjourned de-
bate bill for Thursday.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
Declares Secretary Asked Him tt
Withhold Action After Election.

Washington, Specialize joint
Senate and House committee met
last Thursday and began the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation. L. R.
CLAWS, former chief Of the field di-
vision Of the general land Office, was
the first witness. He alleged that
Ballinger overturned Roosevelt's con
servatior policies and favored the
"interests," rather than the public
and had an indirect part in the
Alaska coal frauds, etc. Pinchot is
charged with running the forest SER
vice to personal ends, ~yillifying the
Interior Department, etc. The in
vestigation is expected to be the big
gest overhaulment of the government
since ventilation of the postofice
scandal seven years ago. The ses-
sion will be held on Friday and Sat
urday.
The proceedings in the Ballinger-
Pinchot injury took on a livelier as
pect when Louis R. CLAWS, continu-
ing his testimony against Secretary
Ballinger, told Of various interviews
he had had with the Secretary of the
Interior at various times while he
was in and out Of thefgovernnent SER
vice.
Mr. CLAWS declared that in n Of
these interviews in October, 1908:
Mr.. Ballinger told him he was having
a hard time trying to collect cam
paign contributions and that two men
involved in the Cunningham claims,
who had been liberal contributors in
the past had declined to contribute
because they were angry at not be-
ing granted patents for the Alaska
coal lands.
CLAWS said that Mr.. Ballinger ask
ed him to hold up on the ALASKA cases
until after election. He agreed to
do this because he had his hands full
with another case.
