It was said that Mur- phy declared A general strike shall be called immediately. 1t is inevita- ble. There are men in the northeast wbo can shoot as straight as any trboper that ever drew breath"
 Murphy's alleged remarks followed the announcement of the directors of the Rapid Transit company that the clergymens request for arbitration had been declined.
 Riots in west and southern Philadel- phia followed the running of the cars tonight Three cars were wrecked. A crowd of men and boys escaped. Riots were reported in other sections. Di- rector of Public Safety Clay tonight sad the strike was now merely memory. He issued orders forbidding the use of wagons in hauling people who didn't care to ride in the cars. A meeting of the directors of the com pany decided that any striker whose previous record was good would he taken back if he applied before March lst.
 C O. Pratt organizer of the car" men. who has been opposing this plan. said tonight: A general strike will be declared unless the company comes to terms. We are prepared to fight for weeks or months. We are
 
 to treat with HIS"
 r.. F. Greenwalt president of the state federation. said: The car strike has ceased to be a local issue. It is now national. The state and Ameri- can Federations will stand by and give whatever support is deemed nec- essary. The strike will be won
 At a meeting of the Central Labor Union on Sunday to discuss the ques ton of d general sympathetic strike. Murphy said: "A general strike is inevitable.

PATRIARCH
 TWO CRIMES Alleged Indictments Return.
 es Against Or. Burke THE W0MAM'S APPEARANCE.
Disappointment to Crowd Which Had Come to Be hold a Lovely Vision Burke Had Feared She Would Die of Dynamite

santa Rosa Cal. Feb. 2J.-Two in- dictments. one charging attempted murder bv means of dynamite or some other explosive. and the other with abortion. were returned this evening against Dr Willard Burke. as a re- suit of three days investigation by the grand jury of circumstances sur rounding the dynamitinG of a tent house occupied by Lucia smith and her eleven mOnths-old baby on Feb ruary ,.
 Judge Seawell immediately Issued warrants which were served upon Dr. Burke tonight. The bail. which was fixed at S20.00o on one indictment and 5000 on the ether. was quickly fur nished
 The aged and patriarchai appearing osteopathic physician. wh" is widely known throughout the state. and to whose sanitarium hundreds have come in search of health. is charged with having feIoniously. wilfully. unlaw- fully and maiiciously deposited and exploded in or near q tent house oc- cupied by Lucia smith and her child, dynamite. Hercules powder or other chemical compound. with intent to feloniously injure the said Louelia smith and that by means of said de- posit and explosion. the said Luella Smith was thereby injured"
 The other indictment charges him with having performed an abortion on a young married woman Of Sonoma.
 Unusual interest attached to the last day of the investigation because Of the fact that the Smith woman had been called to testify. Large crowds gathered in the vicinity of the grand jury rooms to get glimpse of the wo- man who charges the aged physician with being the father of her child. There was a murmur of disappoint- ment from those who expected to see a young and attractive woman. When Miss Smith appeared they saw a wo- man of forty or fortytwO. unusually tall. extremely tbin. with sallow and cadaverous face. There was nothing prcpossessing. much less seductive. in her appearance. which was far from the picture one would conjure of a woman who had caught the fancy of the long bearded physician.
 Miss smith. it is said. told the grand jury of her alleged relations with pr. Burke. and testifying. re peated her statements made several times to the effect that Burke was the father of her child
 The theory of the prosecution is that an attempt was made by means of an explosive tn put the woman and her child out of the way because of the alleged relationship and danger of it becoming public.
 Miss Smith was followed by Dr. Hit. formerly. head physician at the sanitsrium. wiio told of an alleged re- mark made by Burke. that he feared Miss Smith would attempt to kill her self by dynamite

By paying shortages of others amounting 10 s1oo.oeo out of his own pocket, the bank was kept open. he said.
 Maxwell Church, a son of Byron Church. and F. W. Thomas. a nephew. both one time cashiers of the bank. are being sought by the bank commits sioner of Kansas. who caused Church's arrest Church said: T discovered that my nephew had been bucking the grain market at Wichita and Kansas City. and was 1000 short. with the banks funds. He ran away and I made good the shortage out of my own pocket. Then I installed my son, Maxwell Church. as cashier.
 About three months ago an old cer- tificate of deposit issued by my ne phew three years ago came back to the bank and showed a further short age. I was staggered when I saw this but concluded would say noth- ing about it for little while that I might have time in which to raise the money and make good.
 "A month ago a representative of the state bank examiner went over the books and found an additional shortage. and then there was trouble. asked for a weeks time to make good the si5.000 shortage, but he would only give me two days. rais- cd the money and paid it into the bank at the time set"

Barr Had a Premonition of Trouble Over Missing Letters WAS N 4 TIMBER DEAL
He Was to Receive Assist ance of Glavis Who Was to Share Profits Wit ness Jones On Miscon-
 duct of Cunningham Case

Washington. Feb 2j.-A charge by Horace Jones. special agent of the land office. that James NJ. Sheridan. who was sent by the authorities at Washington to take charge of the hearings in the Cunningham coal ment's case away by giving counsel for the claimants an opportunity to examine all the evidence collected by the special agents working under Louis R. Glavis, furnished the sensa- tion today at the Ballinger- Pinchot inquiry.
 Jones made a bitter attack upon the competency of Sheridan. who re- placed Glavis in charge Of the cases. and he declared that although C:;avis was no lawyer. he knew more law than did Sheridan.
 Asked why he failed to protest to Washington regarding the alleged in- competent presentation of the case. Jones replied scornfully that he might have been deemed insubordinate
 The witness had worked with Glavis on the Alaska cases and he said he felt it was a reflection upon GlaVis that Sheridan should have been sent out to relieve him. on direct exam ination. Jones proved a most effective witness. Under croSs-eEaminatiOn he proved stubborn and defiant, flinginy curt answers at committeeman and counsel alike.
 Aside from Jones testimony inter est today centered in young man named W. W. Barr, q timber dealer, brought from Seattle to testify for Glavis in refutation of the charge that twenty-four missing letters from the government files had been found in a box belonging to Glavis, and which had been stored in the govern ment building at Seattle.
 on cross-eXamination Barr became badly tangled. He said he had sug- gested to Glavis to telephone his sue cessor at Seattle to see if the latter had found the papers that Glavis had turned over after his dismissal from the service. Barr said he listened at an extension telephone while Chris jensen. the new chief of the division. replied that everything was 70. K" He said he did this to protect Glavis
 It was brought out on cross- exam llldtlOH llldt tridNiS NdS dSSlStltlS fSdrI to get possession of some timber lands claimed by the state of Wash ton. but to which Barr says the state has no right. Glavis was to share equally in the profits. The witness could not detail exactly all that Gla- wis had, agreed to- His memory was bad and the memorandum of the agreement had been left in Seattle Although he and Glavis had been chums for some years and he had been a dealer in timber lands for seven years. Barr denied that Glavis had ever given him any benefit Of his connection with the field service of the land office.
 He said that Glavis picked out the lands which he and Barr are trying to obtain Barr said he proposed to pay for the lands with scrip issued by the government to the Northern Pacific railroad for lands passed back by the railroad into the forest re- serves.

Reading from the testimony of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson that meat products of the Amer ican farm are being sold in Eu- rope cheaper than in this coun- try. Mir Kitchin said: Tt is not true that the farmer is benefited by high prices. Prices of farm products were higher in 1893 under the Cleveland ad- ministration than ever before; statistics show that"

BRAOSTREET'S VIEW.

New York. Feb. 25.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Trade reports are rather more irregular. Stormy and cold weather over wide areas ap- parently has retarded the expansion of the spring trade, but nevertheless. distribution has kept up wei in ad- vance of last year. in fact. and dis
 tinct gains in the volume of trade are reported at many poiDts. Conserva- tism in placing orders is still the key note in the wholesale strade in sev- eral lines. Unsatisfactory margins of profit is the cause assigned for the announcement that the print cloth mills of Fall River will reduce their running time one day per week.

MOTOR BOATS AT THE
SPORTSMAN SHOW

So familiar is the general public with
he automobile that they no longer excite
more than passing notice except when
one has to step lively to get out of the
way OF one bearing down upon him,
Motor boats, however, which are based
upon the same motive principle and owe
their success likewise to the perfection
Of the gas engine. are still more or less
of curiosity. especially in the vicinity
Of Washington People who own boats
at the present time are too busy during
the summer months enjoying them to
stop and explain the details of their con-
struction. Besides there are many who
would take up the sport If they had any
IDEAS Of the amount of enjoyment to be
derived from it and the slight expense
sntailed. 1t Is partly for this reason, as
well as to afford those already owning
boats chance to see just what is being
done In the line of water craft, that so
much attention will be given to the motor
boat exhibit at the sportsman show to
be held April Ii to 10.
Engines and boats of all sizes and
descriptions are to be exhibited, from
he little one that can make but six miles
An hour to the power boat that will attain
rail of swells like an ocean liner plow-
ng through the sea Canoes and row
boats of all descriptions will be shown,
and one exhibitor has promised to install
4 hydroplane. the newest tI..nE in the
shape of speed boats, which, If 1t lives
up to the promises made for 1t, will be
able TO skim over the surface of the
water at the rate Of an express train,
forty miles an hour. In charge of all of
these boats and engines will be men com
tators the minutest details of the work
!nGs of these engines.
