TRIED TO STUFF SLOT.
SAYS SLEUTHING PARTY

Sherman NJ. Wells and Ralph W.
Lankford, both conductors on strike.
IS years old, 1909 B street southeast,
are being held charged with a viola
tion of section s46 of the code.
Roy z. Best, 26 years old, 627 Sixth
street southeast, conductor, and Harry
E. Koenig. 2S years old. OF the same
address. who told the police that he
was an employe of the Washington
Steel and Ordnance Plant, are held
for investigation.
A fifth man, said to have been a
member of the party, made good his
escape when one Of the four automo-
biles in use by Inspector Grant and
his crew of sleuths crept up on the
men and surprised them in an alleged
attempt to stun the slot in the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
car tracks in East Capitol street just
up from the Congressional Library.
The men, according to Inspector
Grant, were caught red-handed in the
act by himself, Detective Sergeants
O'Brien, Mullen, Morgan and Sand
berg and Chauffeur Waldorf, who
were in the car. Wells and Landlord,
it is alleged. had in their possession
several railroad spikes.

DETECTIVES KEPT BUSY
CLEARING TRACK SLOT
Headquarters Squad Works O ,ertime
Clearing Distinctions From Road.

Detective sergeants stationed at head
quarters have assumed a new roll. They
are working with their hands with
regular tools. Tho tools consist of sledse
hammers, crow bars and other material
for removing matter from 1ammed slots
of railway tracks
The watch of the headquarters crew
never has ceased since the start of the
strike. Each night the men have been on
duty and, headed by Maj. Raymond w.
Pullman and Inspector Grant, have
combed the town in the vicinity of the
tracks. They have also scanned the
faces Of all they met with a view to
strict enforcement of section SAG of the
code which applies to those persons who
attempt to wreck either locomotives or
street railways.
Last night high-powered search lights
were added to the outfit and shortly be-
fore midnight the relief squad in four
automobiles started out.
When the headquarters men came to
a Notwithstanding spot in the track it
is the matter of but a moment for them
to drop their natural role and start to
work as track laborers.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In II,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle. we must keep the liver washed
clean. almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-lAe pores from clog
Eing with indigestible material, sonr
bile and poisonous toxins. says a
noted physician.
IL you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily. it's your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, fur
red tongue. nasty breath or stomach
becomes rancid. it's your liver. SaIlow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste. bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel. which is a
dangerous. salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally De
cause it accumulates in the tissues,
also attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
we'll. should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with . teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate In It. to wash from the liver
and bowels the previous days indi-
gestible material. the poisons, sour
bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweet
ening and fr4shening the entire ali
nentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because
1t can not salivate. for 1t Is harmless
and you can eat anything afterwards.
1t Il inexpensive and almost taste
less. and any pharmacist will sell you
a quarter pound, which is sufficient
for q demonstration OF how hot water

1t was reported that the negotiations
were proceeding amicably and that the
minor points in dispute gradully were
being ironed out, with every prospect
of satisfactory working agreement be-

Information Executive Edward McMor-

"If it had not been for this BILL the
Federal Employees Union. which has
Just accomplished the remarkable feat OF

been unable to prosecute its activities.
It is this principle and right of collec-

are now fighting for. I have seen many

one where public sentiment was So

stations south of Washington.
Heading the group of administration
officials who welcomed the Ambassa-
dor at the station were Counselor
Polk and First Assistant Secretary
Phillips Of the State Department;
Senator Hughes, Of New Jersey and
Sc nator Lodge, minority head Of the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate.
Ambassador Gerard was willing to
talk on any subject except the one
most dominant in the minds of every
questioner-his treatment in Berlin at
the time OF the severance of relations
between the United States and Ger
rhany.
He announced that his trip from
Switzerland to Paris to Spain across
the Atlantic to Havana and back to
American soil had been without ad-
venture. He told the reporters that
more lies than truth had been related
of him already, but he was not ready
TO help them sift the false statements
from the true ones yet and left most
Of the sensational yarns to the Judg
mont of the American newspaper men.
In answer to questions regarding the
r"oort that he had been robbed of i'm
pOrtant documents while in Havana,
Mr.. Gerard said that 1t really was
necessary to have something of which
To- be robbed before a robbery could
b" committed. Nevertheless, he held

hotel to a black travelling bag of mod
crate size which swung from his left
shoulder by a stout strap.

The police are about to start a Junk

vited to attend.
One Of the most serious disturbances
occurred last night at Eleventh and o
streets southeast. where a crowd sur
rounded a car and one of the crew drew
a revolver to protect himself from threat
ened rough handling. The strikebreaker
was arrested.
There were any number of clashes be-
tween union carmen and strikebreakers
In many instances there were lively fist
fights in which faces were cut and eyes
blackened. The police kept a close watch
and quelled every disturbance in quick
order.
A number of strikebreakers last night
lodged the complaint that policemen had
taken sides with the union men.
Piles of spikes, wickets from flower
beds in parks. and scraps of iron were
brought into the car barns of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company by
crews last night. This junk had been
forced into slots and in many cases broke
plows OF the cars causing serious tie-ups

STRIkEBREAKERS QUIT;
APPEAL FOR FARE Home
Trio Ask Police for Aid Allege Com
pany Is Not Treating Men Right.

Strikebreakers are quitting by the
score, according to a report received last
night at police headquarters. Three
members of the crew of makeshift rail-
way men last night appealed to the po-
lice for assistance in securing transpor-
tation back to New York. whence they
were imported by the detective agency
which is handling the situation
I'VE quit and they won't pay our rail-
way fare back home" said the men
Yes, they gave us the s. per day that
they promised us and paid our board. out
they won't pay our way back home
The quitting strikebreakers were tolc
that the matter was civil one and that
they would have to proceed in the proper
legal manner The men, who refused TO
give their names. stated that great num-
bers of the men imported to break the
strike were quitting.
1.-The men don't like the way they are
being treated by the company. they
said.

CAR union OFFICIALS
ELATED At PROGRESS
Predict Strikebreakers Will Quit in
Large Numbers Before Week Ends.

Union officials were elated last
night because of the fact that the
third day OF the strike Of the Wash
ington Railway ana Electric Com
pany's employees showed the inability
of the company to operate its lines on
regular schedule and noted the fall
ure of the company's claims to break
the strike within three days.
They also claimed that a strike of
the strikebreakers at the Thirteenth
and D street barn northeast was re-
ported. The ten cars which have
operated from that division in place
of the customary twenty-five were
left in the barns last night. the new
men having refused to move them
after sundown.
1t was announced further from
union headquarters that the pickets
had reported there will be a whole
sale desertion of strikebreakers on
Saturday. The threatened strike of
the brotherhoods has induced many of
the men to leave the city for the op-
portunity OF better pay for the same
work on steam railways. and others
are opposed to being marooned in
Washington in the event of the rail-
road strike.
Mass Meeting Planned.
tive board of the Washington Central
Labor Union and arranged for a pub
lie mass meeting on Sunday. The
meeting was held at 603 Fifth street
northwest. The time and place Of the
meeting will be determined today.
"I can say that the report that seven
of the union men have deserted the
cause and signed the individual con-
tract is an absolute falsehood." said
Garthe Calderhead, financial secretary
of the local branch of the Amalga-
mated Employees. Our men are stand
ing solidly together and We have had
many agree to waive the IS strike
benefit for themselves and have it ap-
piled to other members of the union
with families. That illustrates the
spirit of the men.
"Strikebreakers have continually tried
TO aggravate union men by hurling indie
cent and profane remarks at them. but
We have continually counselled against
violence, and the records will show that
the strikebreakers predorSAate among
those whose actions have brought them
into court.
Splendid Endorsement.
Tonight we received a splendid in
dorsement from the Bricklayers' Union,
which advises that all members of their
craft will refuse to ride on the cars of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, and today we have received a
score of messages from local unions
pledging not only moral but financial
support. From the standpoint Of the un-
ion, the outlook is bright, and the GER
tainty of success; Is more apparent"
The reconvening of Congress on April
IS will bring about agitation on Capitol
Hill that will operate to benefit the
strikers, according to leaders of the or
ganized labor movement. Should the
strike be prolonged until that date. it will
offer strong arguments for the passage
of the crosser bill for the4government
ownership and control Of the street car
lines in the District-a project that has
been twice favorably reported by the
House District Committee,s but has not
been called up for ;final action because of
the stress Of other important matters.
