SAYS STRIKERS
WERE DUPED
BY CHIEF
Railroad Man Makes Charge
But the Switchmen
Deny It.
sW1TCHMEN HOPEFUL

According to Trainmaster Geb.
hart OF the Great Northern, the
switchmen's strike on that road
at Hiliyard, Spokane and Leaven.
worth has been lost, and the men
at Leavenworth charge that they
have been "sold out" by their in
ternational president, HawIey, at
st. Paul.
The switchmen, at their head.
Quarters yesterday afternoon, de.
MED this statement of Gerhard.
and said that II was another of the
numerous stories doped out by rail-
road officials for the purpose of
putting the cause Of the striking
switchmen In bad light before
the public.
Gerhard is the trainmaster of
the division running through Spo-
kane as lar as Leavenworth, Wash.
He was formerly switchman and
processes to know considerable
about the operations of the union.
THE strike has been lost on the
Great Northern" said Gerhard,
land the men have lost out with it.
More freight has moved in the
Spokane and Hillyard yards of the
company IN January than in any
previous January in years. Bust
ness is now going on the same as
before, with new crew of men,
and the switchmen that were en-
ployed on our line will be forced
to look elsewhere for work.
AT Leavenworth the men were
reduced to absolute need. There
they charge that they were sold
out by International President
Hawley with promises of aid that
never came. If Hawley received
the expected strike support from
the other unions he and the grand
officers still hold the money, as
none of it has come to the men at
Leavenworth. The men there are
bitter and say that they were
promised strike benefit of $40
per month for married men and $25
per month for single men, but in
stead of this have not received for
the whole period to exceed 81 to Sc
apiece. They are asking what has
become of the money that Hawley
was supposed to have received
from the other unions.
"The Great Northern was in
clined to meet the strikers half
way in the early stage of the fight,
but instead of a disposition to COM
promise the situation Hawley made
a flat-footed demand for the un-
conditional surrender of the rail
roads. Our general manager
laughed at him and walked away,
and forthwith issued an order that
none of the old men be taken back.
With one or tow exceptions, where
we found men who had been duped,
this order has been complied with.
The strike has been lost on the
Great Northern and the cause of
the men has gone down with it."
All Of which the switchmen, at
their headquarters yesterday, in
Spokane, denied. They say they
have confidence in Hawley, and
that no promise of fixed sum in
the way of strike benefits was
made to the men. The switchmen
say the matter has been taken up
by the American Federation of
Labor, from which source action is
expected that will be of great
service to the men.

REMONSTRANCE
ON DIVISION
Property Owners to Fight
Widening of the
Street.

M. Thorpe, the owner of a large
body of real estate on the north
side adjacent to Division street,
yesterday started remonstrance
to the action of the city council in
proceeding to condemn enough
ground to make Division street 80
feet wide from Buckeye avenue to
the north city limits. He says that
the matter was rushed through the
city council last Tuesday night
without the property owners being
given an opportunity to consider
the matter. The ordinance asks
the corporation counsel to take
steps to condemn the required
amount of land through the aid of
the eminent domain commission,
which affixes the benefits and dam
ages.
Thorpe in his remonstrance OBJ
jects to the proposition on these
grounds: That the property own
ers were not consulted; that the
improvement is unjust one in that
it takes all of the land from one
side of the street instead of divid-
ing it; that the needed ground
could easily have been obtained on
the east side of the street; that the
change will leave the street crook
ed after it is made; that a street
graded 60 feet wide is not required,
as it means only more work and
expense for the city to keep 1t
clean; that the present width of
the street, 60 feet, is ample, as all
of the intersecting streets in that
part of the city are but 60 feet;
that it will work a great hardship
on the people with nice homes on
the west side of Division street.
cutting away good portion OF
their lawns and shortening their
lots so as to seriously impair the
subsequent selling value OF the
property.

ers of that section of the city will
await the outcome of the union
depot negotiations to see what is
done in the matter of bringing Cor
bins road and the o. r. & N. into
the union depot. Should these
roads fail to avail themselves of
this chance to solve the question
of grade separation on North Divi-
sion, Mr. Nelson says the people
will then insist that the city go
after the railroads with all the
force of the law.

An excited mob OF Italians Demon
stratcd wildly in Brooklyn yesterday
when the 10 prisoners taken by the
police recently in a raid on kidrappers
headquarters were brought up for a
hearing in the Fifth avenue police
court. Police reserves had to drive back
the hundreds of gesticulating foreigners,
who pressed toward the building as the
prisoners we're brought out, and who
hurled storm OF expletives at the
sorry-looking captives. No missiles
were thrown, however, the crowd con-
tenling itself with verbal weapons.
The prisoners we're again remanded
at the prosecu ions request, this time
for q hearing on Wednesday. Mean
while the authorities were said to have
dispatched detectives 10 Wilkes Barre,
Pa, one OF the places where the boss
OF the kidnappers, who held little

Why the police though they Nigh

COSTLY NECKLACE.

A pearl necklace worth $1,000 has
cost Mrs. Ada T. c. Adriance, OF
Poughkeepsie, n. Y, more than $2o.-

It into the country on her return from
Europe last August. The terms OF the
settlement in the case we're announced
yesterday by William Loeb, jr., collec-
tor of the port Of New York
Mrs. Adriance made no mention OF
the necklace in her declaration. The
customs examiners were suspicious and
her clothing was searched. The neck
lace was found concealed in the lining
OF her hat. 1t and some articles OF
clothing not mentioned in the declara-
ton were seized and Mrs. Adriance was
indicted for smuggling. She pleaded
guilty and was fined So, 900.
To regain her necklace Mrs. Adrlance
was compelled 10 pay the full foreign
value of the Jewels, about $4,000, be-
sides the duty, which was about -, ,OOO
more. These amounts, with the S.,
600 originally paid for the necklace,

STORMS AND MARINE DISASTERS

continue to be received, telling OF the
ravages of the storm. At Cadiz the
weather conditions continue very dis

concerning the fate Of a number oi
fishing vessels that we're unable to

A bottle has been picked up on the
beach at Santa Maria containing a
scrap OF paper on which, written IN
Greek, is an account of the terrible

OF which is unknown. 1t states tha
eight Of the crew had been washed over
board and drowned while the remaldel

TELL or THEIR CURES AT
LQURBES.

A reunion OF persons who have been
healed at Lourdes took place at the
Hotel Conde, Paris, few days ago.
Each year such reunion is held and
those present tell of their cures. An
nualIy their numbers increase by hum
dreds.
A feature OF these reunions is the
very small proportion OF men who
get up and testify as to the cures per-
formed upon them. and this year was
no exception to the rule. Woman
after woman rose and told the story
OF her sufferings and final cure, but
only one solitary man narrated his ex-
perience.
He was littIo more than boy. lie
spoke fluently OF his ailment, which
was acute heart trouble and articular
rheumatism, and of the chan 9
which three baths at Lour'les had ef-
fected.
Among the women were four who
said they had suffered from cancer
and had been given up by their doc
tors before they we're taken to Lourdes.
In ore case a single bath was all
that was necessary, in the other cases
a varying number OF immeIsions gave
the sufferers back their health and
strength.
There were several tuberculosis pa
tients. two girls who had suffered
from spinal Trouble and one young
woman who had FIVE separate and dis
tinct complaints, all healed after two
baths. In many cases doctors testified
az to the genuineness OF the cures:
All through the telling Of the so-called
miracles there were murmurs OF sym
pathy and surprise from the hundreds
OF eople gathered in The room.

PLATFORM OF THE CORKING-
TINE PARTY.

THE Gridiron Playhouse" contains
the following parody on political plat
forms:
Tie Corking-Time party, consecratsd
as it is to the rights OF the people, an
uounces it platform as follows:
/. We denounce the corruption,
selfish greed and imbecility OF all other
political parties. They are fostering
sore; and we are the only genuine article
that can cure it. We point with PRIDE
to What we are going to do.
3. We favor the working man,
while we extend our sympathy to the
man who doesn't work. We want the
votes of both
3. We favor such an adjustment
between union men, non-union men,
and their employers as shall result in
the highest wages aud in profit TO all
EMPLOYERS who shall subscribe to our
campaign fund.
4. We are always in favor OF tariff
revision. We denouDce monopoly, and
we insist that Il tariff law should be SO
arranged as to protect our industries
abolish custom houses, prevent SNUG
Cling by women and ministers, and
diffuse prosperity throughout the coun'
try. To this end we favor high duties
in all manufacturing districts, aud a
tariff for revenue only in those locali'
ties where the democratic party has
been in the habit OF rolling up msiori-
ties.
5. We are firm in our stand in re-
gard to the liquor traffic. We believe
that the sale should be so regulated as
to satisfy each and every enc. Local
option and prohibition should be ar
ranged on scale that will permit the
honest worker to enjoy his Saturday
nights and be out as late as usual, and
at the same time sustain the cause OF
temperance in our midst.
6. Upon the subjects OF civil SER
vice reform, the long and short haul,
the management of our penitentiaries
and compulsory vaccination, we follow
the sage advice of the late Thomas
jefferson TO the effect that humanity is
governed too much. We promise to
enact suitable legislation that shall have
the result Of Withdrawing forthwith
these and similar topics from discus
sion in the columns of the yellow
journals.
Z. We believe that every horny
handed son OF toll is entitled to re-
served seat, we'll to the front, at all
public entertainments, without oxtra
charge; and we pledge ourselves to ac
complish this greatly needed reform by
all honorable methods.
s. Whereas a highminded and fear
less judiciary is the bulwark OF our free
institutions, we hold that no idiot jack
ass or crook should occupy seat upon
the bench; and whenever judicial de-
cision or utterance should prove to bt
not entirely agreeable TO Corking
Timer, the offending Judge will have tC
step down and out, whereupon de
cent man" worth his salt, who vii
reflect the opinion Of the appointing
power, shall succeed to the job.
9. Finally, we demand that th'
will and the wishes of our chosen exec
utive shall, at his pleasure and dicta
ton. supersede any and all laws ant
Regulations, state or national.
