The recent strike in England has
beer discussed at every gathering of
railroad workers and the solidarity of
the British laborers has made a pro-
found impression upon the workers in
California. The fact that craft lines
we're d~isregardcd and that the rank
and file took quick and decisive ac-
non has created much favorable COM
ment.
1t is believed lei thai if a strike
Is started in the mechanical DEPART
ment of the Southern Pacific it will
be difficult to confine it to that deDart-
ment.
The leaders will give out no state
Iient confirming this yet it is known
that they entertain fears that the
strike will spread to other roads and
completely tie up the railroad sys-
tenn on the Pacific Coast. Beds have
been placed in the inside of the stock
AIDES and the company is apparently
ready for any mergency.

Croaked the Rauen.
(By Gordon Nye.)

Is it not a grand thing to live in
a country that has for a President a
man who knows his own mind and
possesses convictions?
In the past We have criticized Pres
ident Taft for his wiShy-washy poll
cics and his lack of ability, but bre-
thren and sisters. did you observe how
our National Smile vetoed the Ari-
IONA State Bill? Did it promptly and
with a loud grow1.
Hereafter we may pardon him in
many things. In the Arizona matter
he showed his keen interest in ma
tional affairs and his forwardness
with helpful suggestions (for the
Capitalist class). For this much let
all be thankful.
President Taft placed his veto on
the bill ca the ground that it author

were II cannot permit YOU to do any
thing that is calculated to create SEN

that public officials and Burns opera
tives who We're living on the city's

power to create a sentiment against
the men. The parade is expected to
be the biggest demonstration ever
made by on the Pacific Coast.

since they were cut to five DAYS a

calling for a strike has been taken
in many places.

FOOD WAS TOO HIGH
And Spanish Rioters Fight
Soldiers.

Lisbon, Jan. 6.-Severai were killed
and 80 were injured today in a pitched
battle between Spanish soldiers and
rioters at Zuera, Spain, according to
advices received by the Seculo. The
rioting was the result of the high
prices of food.
Four thousand strikers attacked
shops and the public buildings and
when the soldiers arrived a pitched
battle followed. The soldiers with
drawn arms attacked the mob but the
mass was SO compact that it could not
be scattered. Volleys were fired on
both sides and all the windows in the
houses near the scene of the battle
were broken by flying bullets and
missiles. There were many women
among the rioters.
Men and women, gaunt and famish-
ed, fought with desperation side by
side. Many of the soldiers who were
wounded are thought to have suffered
fractured skulls from the flying clubs
and stones.
Zuera is in the province of Sargossa
where labor troubles have prevailed
for some time.

HUNT A GHOST SHIP
Life Saving Grew Is Seeing
Things.

iAUlGIlCdu ANcWS oCENltcp
Portsmouth, n H., Jan. 6.-Hunting
for wrecked ghost ship is getting
on the nerves of the United States
life saving crew at Wood Island.
Three times within the last few
months they have been called out by
ter. apparently going ashore on the
rocky lodges of sea point and in each
case after rowing to rescue the sup
posed wrecked crew have searched in
vain for the craft.
Walter S. Ames, keeper of the light
house on the 'Whalesback" is the last
person to see the ghost ship" His
powerful marine glasses revealed a
two-masted schooner apparently
plunging head-On into the rocks. He
rowed at top speed to the life saving
station mile and a half away. The
life saving crew rushed on their boat
and speeded toward Sea Point. Not
a sign of a wreck was visible when
they reached there after hard row.
They searched the rocky lodges all
about but not even the smallest bit
of wreckage was discovered.
A month ago they were called out
in almost the same way for supposed
wreck on Sea Point with the same re-
suit A couple of weeks previous to
that they had been notified by tele-
phone from New York Harbor that a
small schooner was ashore on Sea
Point but thew searched in vain for
the vessel.

WILL ELECT KERN
ON JANUARY nth
AS He Will Have Clear Ma
jority in Each House,
Will Be no Oratory.
palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Jan. 6-The election
of John w. Kern to the United States
senate by the Indiana legislature will
take place January II.
The federal statutes say the legis-
lature shall make an attempt TO elect
senator on the second Tuesday af-
ter the organization and first meet
ing of the session.
In each house the name of Mr.. Kern
will be placed in nomination on the
morning and the vote will be taken. In
case Mr.. Kern gets immediate MAORI
ty in each house there will be really
no necessity of joint ballot. nor of
a joint session, but the latter is also
fixed by the statute.
A Joint Session.
the houses will meet in joint session
and the journal of each, showing the
vote, will be read. If majority of
both houses for one candidate is evil
dent. Lieut.. Gov. Hall will simply an
nounce the resultant election of SEN
ator and there will be no joint bal
lot
The fact that John w. Kern will
have clear majority in each house
disposes of the field day" for many of
the orators and near-orators, who had
looked forward TO making themselves
famous in a Joint session where all
might listen and be ENHANCED.
Bernard B. Shively, of Marion. a
new conner to the senate will probably
lead off in that body and place Kern
in nomination for election. Shively
is young attorney of Marion, who
has won quite reputation as an ora
tor. 1t was his speech placing George
Ranch in nomination before the Demo
cratic convention of the eleventh dis
trict two years ago that stampeded
the convention for Rauch and started
him on his congressional career. In
addition to Shively, speeches will be
made by Stotensberg. Kistler and
Carleton, and probably others.
In the house it is not determined as
to who will do the heavy work Of
breaking the news to the members
that Kern is a candidate for the
United States senate.

BALDWIN SHOCKED
BY WOMAN SMOKER
Raised Rumpus at Alleged
Daughters Party Over
Mothers Conduct.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan 6.--After an
adjournment over the holidays, the
hearing Of the Lucky Baldwin will
case, in which Beatrice Anita Turn
bull is seeking to recover a daughters
share of $2.5OO,OOO. or two ninths of
the $12.00O,O0O estate, has been re-
sumed in the Superior Court. Miss
Lillian Turnbull. who previously had
undergone five days of grueling cross
examination by the attorneys for the
Baldwin heirs, was again on the
stand.
Several sensations were sprung the
first thing. the first surprise occurring
when Beatrice Anita. the seventeen
year-old claimant. was formally iden-
titled by her mother. Mrs. Turnbull,
as the child Of her union with Lucky"
Baldwin.
Mrs. Turnbull announced to the
Court that her memory was greatly re.
freshed by her short vacation during
the holidays. and she recalled the
names of several persons who had met
her at the Hotel lakewood at Santa
Anita. and to whom she claims to
have been introduced by Baldwin as
mis- wife. Among these were a Mr..
and Mrs. Fox.
Mrs. Turnbull then requested per-
mission to make an explanation of her
testimony given at a previous hearing
when she was asked why she thought
Mrs. Clara Baldwin Harold knew that
she was married to her father. She
said that following a dinner given by
Miss Clara Baldwin at Santa Anita.
she had been persuaded by Clara to
smoke "A cigarette. Mr.. Baldwin had
discovered them and was angry.
He turned to Clara and told her
that he did not care what she did. but
he would not permit his wife to
smoke" said Mrs. Turnbull. Il look.
ed surprised and he said. Yes, | have
told Clara all about it. told her that
We are married. Clara then replied,
Yes, father has told me ali about 1t.
and ! gave this dinner to you and
father. hope you enjoyed it"
Didn't Clara say to her father:
Why. youll go to the penitentiary
for this?" interrupted McNab. Did
MT she say ii was a case of too much
stepmother?"
NO, sir" replied the witness.

WANT SUNDAYS OFF
Post Office Clerks Agitating
the Reform.

Whether patrons of the Richmond
postoffice are willing for the Sunday
morning window delivery service to
be discontinued will be a question that
will be put up to them during the
next few months. The clerical and
carrier forces desire to enjoy Sun
day for rest. Larger postofices, in
Guiding the one at Detroit. have dis
continued this service, not only be-
cause it was found to be Improbable
but also because it served only Sc
lect few and not the masses.
Similar reasons are advanced here,
The waiting list on Sunday morning
includes perhaps two hundred, many
of whom are women. Nearly every
business man who gets important mail
has box and the Sunday service is
Of no consequence to him. Judging
from the outward appearances of the
larger percentage of the mail distrib.
uted on Sunday, it is not of an import
ant business nature.
In leaving the matter to the patrons
of the Office the plan of action prob
ably will be similar to that in other
larger cities where the rule is already
effective. Each patron is handed pc
tition and asked to sign If the propos-
al is satisfactory. 1t is thought there
would be little difficulty in securing a
majority.
Clerks and carriers have one or
two Sundays off each month, but on
the Sundays which they have to re-
port, they arrive at the Office early and
work from four to six hours. the SER
vice entirely interfering with their
Sunday rest.

REDUCE R. R. RATES
ON SOME LUxUR|ES
Fireless Cookers, Snuff and
Fish Globes Now Com
mon-Place Things.

Chicago. Jan. 6.-Cheaper fireiess
cookers for the western housewife
Snuff and fish globes also have been
taken out of the luxury class at the
quarterly classification meeting of the
Illinois Railroad and Warehouse COM
mission.
These reductions in freight classifi-
cation were made despite petition by
many railroads that freight rates be
raised on seventy or eighty grocery
and other supplies. The changes
were made on these articles largely
because they have increased so much
in general use.
Automobile wind shields and mara
schino cherries-the kind you buy two
for a quarter over bars for the thirsty
also will be made much cheaper to
the consumer.
Luxurie. No Longer
These things are luxuries in the
west no longer. according TO the con-
tention of Chicago firms, and there
fore no longer can bear the present
high rates.
Fireless cookers were given fourth
class Eating when shipped in carload
quantities: when shipped singly they
will have to bear the second class
rates. under which stoves are classed.
Snuff was changed to second class
rating when shipped in tins: other
wise it retains the prevailing first
class rate The American Tobacco
company asked for this change. Bos
ton brown bread when shipped in tins
also is considered for a lower fourth
class rate, instead of the third class
now in existence.
