NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 26.-Pat-
rick Calhoun, scion OF the eminent
Southern statesman, boss OF San Fran

lions Of dollars only four or five years
ago, today is absolutely penniless and
none Is so poor as to do him honor.
In receivership proceedings today.
Mr.. Calhoun swore that his total re-
sources were less than five dollars
and that he is now living exclusively
upon his wife's income.
Mr.. Calhoun swore that his fortune
had dwindled through enormous losses
In the San Francisco earthquake and
fire and the subsequent litigation, and
that the decline in street railroad
stocks wiped him out absolutely.
Disastrous investments" said Mr..
Calhoun, "and the incessant demands
upon my separate paternal estate com.
pleted my financial ruin"
The former plutocrat broke down
completely and cried as If his heart
were broken. "Heney ought to be sat,
isfied now" he said.
Francis ]. Heney was the nemesis
of the San Francisco grafters. but
could never get action against Cal
houn.
Patrick Calhoun is the heir at law
of John C. Calhoun of South Carolina
the great compromiser of the ante-bel
lum period.
Many of Mr.. Calhoun's relatives are
enormously wealthy and are expected
to come to his relief.

WOODROW WILSON FIGHTING THE
MOST POWERFUL COMBINATION
EVER OPPOSED TO PRESIDENT
OF THESE UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, Aug. ga general
strike OF the railroad train service men
is inevitable.
Before midnight they will probably
receive the word TO quit. and that will
mark the beginning OF an industrial
war, the end OF which no man can fore
see.
President Wilson has eXerted every
effort to prevent IL. He has fought
like a lion against the ultimatums OF
both sides. He has warned both sides
of the public necessities. He has pro-
claimed the absolute necessity of
maintaining an uninterrupted railroad
traffic, for the safety OF the country.
and now he Is making preparations for
action which may mean government
owner5Aip OF the railroads. or martial
law.
The situation Is most acute. The
half a million men are expected to
strike before midnight. They are in
close touch with their leaders at
Washington. No one entertains Il
doubt that the walkout will be com.
plete, that the movement will be over
whelming.
Arrayed against the serried ranks of
organized labor, are the unorganized
millions OF the Industrial world They
are leaderless and inefficient They
have no programme. The crisis has
come with the force OF an earthquake
Congressional leaders are aghast, The
only clear-headed man at the capital Is
the President himself who declares
that there shall be no general strike.
Against the Presidents proclama
ton stands the threat of the unions
for a general strike tonight at Il
o'clock.
