New York, Nov, 13.-New York
is today reeking with putrid garbage
and the situation is menacing the
lives of millions. Streets are piled
high in filth and in all the city but
ten, almost useless, garbage wagons
are operating, and these accom-
panied by fifty foot, ten mounted
and two patrol wagons loaded with
policemen.
Conditions are worse than they
have ever been in the city's history,
but the striking city garbage col
lectors are in control OF the situation
and are as obdurant as Mayor Gay
nor, who declares they will either
return to work under the conditions
he offers or remain out. They say
they will not go back to work until
they win their point-and that they
will not be compelled to remain out
long. Public opinion, topped by In
dlgnation and general fear of an
epidemic of some sort resulting
from the filth, is running high and
the sympathies of tho public are
with the strikers.
All efforts OF strikebreakers have
utterly failed so far and the attacks
upon them have resulted In whole
sale desertlons until today there are
not enough men In their ranks to
keep little village clean. And un-
der tie conditions they are work
ing, threatened by strikers and
jeered by the 'sympathisers, their
work Is almost useless.
The east side, particularly among
the slums and along the Third avee-
Rue district, is suffering intolerable
filth. Green grocers added to the
crawling debris by dumping decay
Ing vegetables into the streets Sat-
urday night and tons OF filth heaps
litter the avenues, some of them
burning under the matches of hood
lums battling against patrolllng fire
men. Hundreds of flremen were
placed on patrol duty yesterday but
as fast as they extingulshed the
flames fire sDrang up elsewhere.
Scores of policemen line the roofs

The Woman Is Dead.

San Francisco, Nov. 13-Death to-
day made a double tragedy Of the
bloody nightmare experience Of John
Edwin Cooper. who last Wedne sday
hacked his wife with a hatchet while
in a somnambuistic ft, and then cut
his own throat with a razor when he
awoke and discovered his terrible
deed. Cooper died almost instantly,
and today Mrs. Annie Cooper. his
wife, succumbed 10 her wounds.
Three young daughters are made
orphans. It Is expected that the

DEPRECATE
DEDICATION OF
MONUMENT
COUNSEL FOR BOTH SIDES IN
MNAMARA TRIAL DEPRECATE
OTIS ACTION BEING TAKEN AT
THIS TINE.

Los Angeles, Nov! 19.-Counsel
on both sides this morning were eX-
ercised over the announced inten-
tion of the Times management to
dedicate monument to twenty of
the twenty-one persons who lost
their lives in the Times explosion
next Wednesday. It is admitted
that this will not alone revive the
hard feelings engendered by the
original charges and counter charges
but that it will also make it much
more difficult to secure a jury.
Even the closest friends of Cen
eral Otis are criticising aim for bad
taste in bringing this matter 70 the
front at this time. 1t is announced
that Robert J. Burdett, the preach
er whose funeral oration caused a
distinct sensation because of the
language he used in denouncing
organized labor and its officers
will make the chief address. and
his speech is expected to eclipse, in
point of vituperation, his former
address.
One victims body is not buried ir
the generals plot. 1t is that of A
Churchill Harvey Elder, night editor
Of the Times, whose relatives art
suing General Otis for damages be
cause of his death. which they de
clare was caused by the failure o
the Times management to equip th'
building with fire escapes.

TARRED AND
FEATHERED
YOUNG GIRL

Lincoln, Nan, Nov. 3.-With
every room in the two hotels of
which Lincoln boasted engaged for
weeks in advance and boarding
places filled, Lincoln today prepared
to go through one of hte most
strenuous periods of its career-the
trial of Is prominent citizens for
the tarring and the feathering of
"a young and beautiful girl, Miss
Mary Chamberlain. Anticipation
that the testimony which will be
given will be of a decidedly risque
strangers to attend the trial, while
nature has caused a number of
the prominence of the men charged
with the tarring has aroused the
countryside to a high pitch Of ex-
citement.
In spite of an effort to obtain a
change of venue che trial will be
called at 10 a. m. tomorrow in the
district court here, unless some un-
expected incident occurs to post
pone the hearing. County Attorney
McCandless for the prosecution,
does not anticipate any difficulty in
obtaining a jury, and declares he
will demand the full penalty-one
year in Jail and a fine of 1000 for
each of the guilty parties. Owing
to the fact that the laws of Kansas
does not recognize tarring and
feathering as a distinct offense the
charge against the Is men is "as-
sault and battery "
On the night of August Z last
Miss Chamberlain, with her escort,
barber, started in buggy for a
dance at the school house where she
taught, some thre miles away, Short
ly after passing the outskirts of the
town, three masked men appeared
in front of the vehicle, and roughly
ordered the girl to get out. She
appealed to her escort for aid but
he jumped and hid in the bushes.
The men then seized the girl and
carried her to bonfire nearby,
where several other masked men
helped to strip her and apply coat
Of tar and feathers. The application
finished, they vanished.
The barber came from his hiding
place. as did Miss Chamberlain to
collect her clothing and then drove
her back home, where she told her
brother Of the occurrance. He i'm
e mediately notified the county au-
thorities and demanded arrests
l Fifteen young men we're then ar
rested. They were Of Shady Bend
the town where the school house
was located. Record, the barber
himself entered a plea Of guilty and
was sentenced to serve twelve
months. He will be brought back
u TO testify against the men whom ht
Is alleged to have implicated in hii
confession TO the authorities.

North Head Wash, Nov. 13.-Be-
fore sundown today the lives of a
large number, perhaps all, of the As
persons aboard the wrecked steam
schooner Washington, probably will
be lost.
Two members of the crew already
have been drowned. They were
clinging to timbers on the deckload
of lumber and the timbers were
swept overheard, the sailors with it.
This morning the Point Adams and
Cape Disappointment life savings
crews are standing by; so are three
bar tugs, but at 10 o'clock no line
has been put aboard, and the DOOM
ed schooner, whose fires lave been
put out, may be. driven upon the
beach at any moment.
The schooner when she goes on
the beach will strike at a point op-
posite the North Head weather sta
tion. 1t seems probable this will
happen very soon as the storm is a
wild one and the schooner's position
hopeless.
Some of the passengers and crew
may get ashore without drowning,
but the vessel will be total loss.
The wind at North Head last
night was As miles an hour and at
s o'clock this morning it was 80
miles an hour.

The strikers expect an answer to

Two young men who are being held
at the city Jail for keeping late hours
are making quite "holler' over the
treatment that is being afforded them
there. When they we're seen by
reporter from the Journal, one of
the men, a Mr. Clark, who is we'll
dressed and of good appearance,
made the following statement:
81 came into the city with my
partner here on the 10 o'clock train
Saturday evening and was only here
long enough to engage lodgings and
arrange for meals when was ar
rested and searched on the streets by
one of the officers. He found moth
ing suspicious on us. OF course we
did not have much money; but as
we intended to go to work on the
electric road on Monday, we did not
need much, and we had already
squared ourselves for food and lodg-
ing. The officer, however, told us
that he had nice, pleasant place
down at the Jail where we could
spend the night, and as there was
nothing else to do, we went along.
Now want to tell you honestly and
fairly what we found there. Why,
here are the conditions; look for
yourself"
Here we are thrown with drunks,
vagabOnds and criminals, all togeth-
er in this one room. When the
drunks come in, the smell of the Jail
makes them sick, but there is no
ventilation and the fumes from their
vomit and filth, fill the whole room
and we have to live in It, Look!
There is not a quilt in the place,
nothing but just iron springs to lie
upon, These, as you see, are only
three feet wide and last night there
were Is men in this one room. We
either had to sleep with some one of
those lousy drunks and hoboes, or
sleep on the concrete floor. The only
heat comes from that one radiator
and every bum who comes in here,
takes off mis- socks, perhaps for the
first time in weeks, and dries them
out on it Do you care to come in
and see for yourse''?'
I'VE are not hoboes or drunks or
buns, the officers could place no 9TH
er charge against us than being out
after 1890; and how many people
we're out after that hour on Saturday
night? We are just plain men,
though I have a college degree and
an honorable discharge from the
battleship Oregon We were brought
into court. That is what they called
it.
After describing his examination,
which he objects to strongly, Clark
adds:
I'VE were thrown into that hole to
stay for 10 days, and you just notice
there is no soap here, there are no
towels, there is tno bath Of any kind
and we are here to stay for 10 days.
We came in here clean bodily and
morally, but II we ever go from here
we will go with a grudge against a
government which would permit such
actions, in our breasts, and God only
knows what we will carry with us in
our clothes. When I was in college,
I learned that the protection Of 80
ciety was the aim Of all human pun
lshment Is ask you what protection
society needed against US? VIII we
be better men when we are turned
loose? What is the object Of all this
tyranny"
Chief Of Police Hamilton was then
questioned concerning existing con-
dltions and he admitted them to be

said this would defeat his reelection.
He declared that the liquor question

Nevertheless, the member from Mar
