STRIKERS SPEND
QUIET SUNDAY
No Disorder Is Reported Along Har-
riman Lines After Employees
Walk Out.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.--Despite
the announcement by General Man
ager Calvin, of the Southern Pacific,
that 60 per cent of the 7.453 shopmen
.employed- on Calyins division OF the
road did not strike. leaders OF the
system federation on the Pacific coast
declared today that fully 80 per cent
struck Saturday and that the rest will
be out by tonight.
The discrepancy between the Cal
vim figures and those OF the union
leaders resulted from the fact that
Calvin's estimates are made on a diff
ferent basis. Calvin's figures refer to
all men employed in the shops, while
the unionists refer only to the mem
bers of the crafts involved.
There has been absolutely no dis
order at any point Reports from Los
Angeles, Portland, Oakland, Seattle,
Sacramento and Elpaso indicate that
the strikers spent Sunday quietly,
though mass meetings were held In
some places. The dispatches say the
men are expressing determination to
stay out q year IL necessary to win
their contention for recognition Of the
system federation.

Married Another.

OREGON. H., Oct. 2.-Dr Henry
Elgin Webster. Chicago physician,
confessed bigamist and uxoricide, Is
being guarded in his cell here today,
to prevent his EXPRESSED determine
ton to end his life.
An inquest upon the body of the
woman he bigamously married, TO
right the wrong he had done her, and
then murdered, will be held today at
Palo.
{ In Chicago his first wife is In a
critical condition in. Passavant hos
pital as result OF nervous prostra-
ton. Physicians fear for her life and
reason.
The murder and the incidents lead
ing up to 1t form strange story OF
ambition, love, hate and murder.
Webster, a member of a prominent
Dixon, Ill. family, graduated from the
Dixon high school in 1900. He was
ambitious to become physician. He
worked his way through a medical
college In Chicago. While there he
met Zoe Varney, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, girl, who was studying music.
When the girl returned to Cedar

wife.
Webster graduated and became an
inferno In the Rush University hos
pital. There he met and wronged
Bessie Kent, a nurse, whom later he
was to kill.
In January of this year. Webster
married Miss Varney In Cedar Rapids.
He returned here without his bride.
Ten days later, he declares, at Miss
Kent's solicitation, he married her
too, on her promise that she would
sue for divorce.
She refused and Webster entered
the divorce suit. On Sept 10, Web
ster declares, he took vacation and
went to visit his parents in Dixon.
His second wife stepped off the same
train and greeted him. He was shock
ed. She insisted that he take her to
the home of his parents. Instead, he
took her buggy riding. In lonely
spot, where he had played "Robber
Baron" when boy, he cut her to
death, stripped the body of every par
ticle of clothing to hide traces of his
crime, and went back to Chicago
where his first wife joined him.
He was arrested there Sunday
morning. Sunday afternoon he con-
fessed.
