TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1907. VICTORY CROWNS CARMEN'S STRIKE Bancroft Yields Every Material Point on Salt Lake Lines. ROBERTS ACTS MEDIATOR Threat of Electrical Workers o Strike Causes Manager to Ne gotiate With Union After Uproarious Day on Streets. BALT LAKE, Utah, April 30. Streetcar ervlce In this city will be resumed this morning after suspension since Sunday. After the electrical workers had practi cally decided to go out tn sympathy with the carmen, aa well as for the adjustment of grievances of their own, at an early hour this morning, the streetcar company sent for ex-Congressman Brigham H. Roberts and gave him plenary powers to come to any settlement with the men that would not involve formal recognition of the union. Mr. Roberta immediately met National Secretary C. O. Pratt, who told him the terms of the men. To these Mr. Roberta assented and the strike was over. The strike was started Sunday morning after much fruitless negotiation, which ended in the positive refusal of General Manager Bancroft, of the Utah Light & Railway Company, to recognize Mr. Pratt. Both Sunday and Monday the company signally failed in its efforts to run cars. Publlu sympathy was with the men. Al though the men resorted to no violence, their sympathizers made things warm for employes who stood by the company. Eggs for Strikebreakers. The leaders in, the disturbances were Idlers, many of them half-grown boys, and, as on yesterday, ' they threw eggs, cut trolley ropes and, taking hold of horses' bridles, forced teams attached to heavy wagons to drag the wagons across the tracks In such a way as to render further progress of the cars' Imposeible. The cars yesterday were manned by su perintendents and inspectors who still re main loyal to the company. Seven cars In all were taken out, but all of them were soon taken back to the barns again. The only demonstration made by the strikers was a parade. In which more than 500 men conductors, motormen and barnmen took part. Headed by a brass band, the men marched from their head quarters at First South and Main streets, through the principal downtown streets and buck again. In the line were a num ber of banners bearing the inscription: "Bread and butter is the issue nothing more, nothing less." The men were cheered all along the line of march and there was much good-natured railery, but no disorder. Demands Granted After Threat. Monday the strike situation was com plicated by a threat of the electrical workers to go out. It was after this threat was made that Mr. Bancroft con sented for the first time to recognize Mr. Pratt. He met him at the Commercial Club at a conference arranged by that body. What transpired at that confer ence was not given out. but the terms of the carmen were granted. These were eight hours a day's work, a mini mum rate of 25 cents an hour and 30 cents an hour after the first year, and recognition of the union. Though this last demand was not granted, Mr. Pratt thinks that the change in the attitude of the company which terminated the strike amounted nearly enough to recognition to satisfy the men. When the carmen's settlement was announced, the electrical workers con tented to let their demands go over for the present. LAUGH AT ANTI-STRIKE LAW Canadian Miners Hold out and Gov ernment Is Puzzled. OTTAWA, Ont., April 29. Members of the government are greatly con cerned over the news from the strike district of Alberta and Eastern Brit ish Columbia. Tho fact that so many of the striking miners -have refused to return to work, as required of them by the new Industrial disputes act after a board of conciliation and investigation had been appointed, renders each man liable to a minimum fine of J10 a day. There Is much speculation as to whether the government will prose cute each of the 000 miners. FERNIE. B. C. April 29. The strfke situation reached its crucial point tills afternoon, miring the latter part of the week both Lewis and Sherman, the labor leaders, have been using every effort to gut the men to return todav tiendlnir the sitting of the con ciliation board, but from the returns of the votes from the different locals, their efforts appear to have been Big 'nally unsuccessful and the men appear to have takon matters into their own hands and decided not to return until they have received satisfactory answers to their demands in the way of an Increase. Mackenzie King, Deputy Minister of Labor tn the federal government, has been using tvery effort to effect an amicable settlement before the board meets, but events tonight will prove whether or not Mr. Sherman was right In his boast made In an open meeting in Fernle that the new law would not liold' water, and that he could dri a team and wagon through it The executive board of miners Is meeting In private conference this evening, and is evidently in a Quan dary as to what position to take, be cause the general notices posted all through the town Indicated that the men would return to work this morn ing. This part of the agreement has not been fulfilled, for the reason that the men have all voted down such a proposition. The coal company here had its train at the siding at Fernie to take the men to the mines to work as usual this morning, but none availed, themselves of it.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29. Four jurors more were finally selected and five were sworn in today's proceedings in the Ruef trial. This leaves three additional Jurors to be obtained for the completion of the trial panel a task begun two months ago. The prosecution is hopeful of beginning the introduction of evidence some time this week. The panel was tentatively filled today by the acceptance of three talesmen. Three of the eight probationary Jurors were sub sequently challenged peremptorily, one by the state and two by the defense, and the remaining five were sworn In and took their seats with the four others to whom the oath had been administered. Judge Dunne issued an ordinary venire for 50 additional talesmen returnable tomorrow at 2 P. M. from which to select three citi zens to complete the Jury. INVALID WIFE VISITS JAIL MRS.

During the morning the party visited the husband and father in the Courthouse grounds, where he was taking his regular exercise. The party spent some two hours together and seemed like a happy family, the little girl sitting on her father's knees. One daughter is 17 years old and the other 11. The mother and daughters will be permitted to visit him without any serious restrictions, spending most of their time at the jail until the beginning of the trial.

He said he thought there was a great deal of prejudice In the county though not so much as in Canyon. Regret President's Letter. DENVER, April 29.

It makes no difference how Bevere -or long-seated a case of bad blood, humors, eczema or scrofula may be, Hood's Sarsaparilla cures just the same. It has the greatest record of any medicine ever made. Has received the largest number of testimonials 40,866 in two years. It is the one above all others for you to take if you need a thorough ly good medicine for your blood. Kead the following from Mr. C. C Bailey, well-known pomp manufacturer, of Champaign, 111. "When I asked my doctor what tint eruption was which came under my right ear, and which had refused to yield to home treatment, he said it was a bad case of eczema and that it would take a long time to cure it. Another doctor said it was about the worst case be ever saw. I fol lowed their advice for 16 months, and still the emotion would not heal. "One day I askeh the druggist if he had anything he thought would do me good. Be said If anything would cure me it was Hood's Sarsaparil la Will convince and cure where given a fair trial.

SANTA MONICA. CaL. April 29. Spe cial.) Unless the bubble should be pricked before that date, there will be a mad game of frenzied finance here on May 4. That is the day fixed for the distribution among the local stockholders of - a local conoern of $10,000,000 in cash. The story reads like a dream and such it may be, but William Leroy, a local machinist who Invented what he calls a thermal engine, vouches for the truth of every statement. After laboring for 16 years on the device, he claims to have perfected an engine that, when once set in motion, like the brook will run on forever. He professes to have completed a model and sent it to Chicago, where it fell under the eye of Nealson, who is supposed to be represent ing the Standard Oil people In the deal. Nealson is said to have set the engine up In his office, where it ran for 90 days without a stop for either food or water. Then he came West and negotiated for the purchase of the entire capital stock of the corporation for $30,000,000. That means about $20 for every three cents in vested by the original stockholders, and will make millionaires out of clam-diggers and those who advanced their dollars to get out the patents. Leroy, who never in the past had any money, now wears a top hat and appears in full dress, with pock ets bulging with real dollars and bank bills of the big denominations. The otfcer part of thestory may be a dream, but tBat Le roy has money 13 a reality. As for the engine itself, while the in ventor disclaims to have solved the here tofore acknowledged secret of impossible perpetual motion, the engine is that very thing. The Inventor calls It the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, because it Involves the three elements of nature in its work ings air, water and electricity. By man ual labor the engine is started. It begins to compress the air, which passes through water, gathering globules of moisture. These are expanded when they come in contact with great heat, generated by elec tricity created by discs which revolve and cause arcs of unknown units of heat, the discs being made to revolve by the other engine. But May is approaching. REPLIES T0JA F0LLETTE (Continued from First Page. ment, had it been adopted, would have required the expenditure immediately of several millions of dollars in ascertaining the value of all interstate railways In advance of any controversy with them. With many of them probably there . will be no controversy for many years to come. It Is also a debatable question at least whether or not a report founded on an Investigation made when no case was pending and no issue formed could be made admissible at the trial of any cause that might thereafter arise. If not, then the parties who made the In vestigation and report, if living, would have to be called as witnesses, and the facts, not the report, put in evidence. If not living, others would have to be employed to investigate and testify. This as I have stated, can be done now with out the amendment. All in all, I did not believe it wise to adopt the proposi tion at that time. The session was far advanced and all friends of the bill agreed that the fewer the amendments the better the chance for- its final pass age. I was not, nor am I, hostile to the principle of valuation. It may be come necessary to adopt some such legislation. If . it shall so appear, or If tne - commission shall report that it desires such legislation, I will support It. During the entire rate- controversy in the Senate I stood firmly by the principle of en larging the powers of the Commission and giving it ample power to establish reasonable, rates. Stood With the President. '1 think I may say, without being amenable to a charge of egotism, that I was known and recognized as ono of the leaders In the fight to secure such enlarged powers. I know I stood at all times squarely with the Presi dent on every proposition In the rate legislation fight, and had his approval and support throughout. . We were contending for a great principle which being once recognized and adopted we felt that all matters of detail could easily be enacted thereafter. We won the fight If It shall be found neces sary hereafter to enact additional leg islation to assure enforcement of this principle, we will enact It. Mr. La- onor aa BAILEY.

Simply be cause I did not deem it wise to vote tor all bis proposals he classes me as a defender of corporations. Well, I shall defend corporations when they are right, exactly as I will defend oth ers when they are right, and not oth erwise. 'It is certain that railway cor porations did not count me as their supporter In that fight. It is easy to charge one with being the defender of corporations, and people who prefor to accept a slander rather than the truth will believe the former, no mat ter how clearly the latter may be presented. My whole course since I have been in the Senate has been in opposition to the so-called "merged in terests," for I firmly believe their atti tude and policy to be hostile to the best Interests of the people. I have made no noise or display regarding my position, nor sought to make politi cal capital thereby. Not only was such my position in the rate legislation, but as well on all matters, as, for instance, the denatured alcohol bill. Any person who will take time to inspect the Con gressional Record of last session will oee that I lead the fight for the people in the debate on that measure, and on one oc- j casion I recall I was one of but two Re publicans who - voted for an amendment offered by Mr. LaFollette to the rate bill, j That was the "fellow-servant" amend ment. I voted for it, though many who favored it voted against it leat it would 'jeopardize the passage of the bill. . Fulton's Own Amendment, "While I dislike to speak so much of my own work, it is, I think, proper here to recall that it is a fact well known, is, in truth, a matter of history, that I sug gested and prepared the so-called court Jurisdiction amendment to the railway rate bill, which was adopted and practi cally united the Republican members of the Senate in support of the bill. It rec ognized the Jurisdiction of the courts to inquire Into a rate established by the Commission so far as It might be neces sary to protect the railroads against a rate so low that it would amount to a taking of property without compensation. I had no doubt but the courts would have had such Jurisdiction in any case, but others thought not. The important point was to so frame an amendment as to grant Jurisdiction for that purpose and at the same time not give Jurisdiction to review the discretionary powers of the Commission. My amendment accom plished that, in the Judgment of the Attorney-General, the chairman of the In terstate Commerce Commission, the Presi dent and friends-of the bill. The President approved it heartily and at a public recep tion to the Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, in the presence ot a number of members, congratulated me on It and thanked me for it. Nevertheless, Mr. La Follette voted against that amendment. Without it, or some similar amendment, the rate bill would probably not have passed. I have discovered that In legislat ing one cannot always secure all he wishes. Something must be conceded to the opinion of others. The rate bill, though it does not contain several pro visions which I earnestly advocated and desired, is a great measure in the 'interest of the people. It distinctly authorizes the Commission to establish rates. I feel justified in saying I contributed as much as any other member in securing its passage and tar more than did Senator La Follette. "Now, I do not charge that Senator La Follette sought to defeat the railway rate bill, but I do assert that he evidenced a willingness that it should suffer defeat If he could not secure the incorporation therein of every pet theory of his. The Democrats were, of course, willing that the bill should fail, as they felt no re sponsibility for it. Indeed, I think I am justified in saying that they desired it to fail. Hence they offered and supported every amendment which they thought would produce discord In the Republican ranks and militate against the final pass age of the measure. Senator La Follette in every instance voted with them. He doubtless thought that if the bill failed, both the material and the market for his lectures would be thereby materially en hanced. For his vaunted patriotism is after all of a most thrifty character. He holds with Iago that the truest wisdom purse with money.' And thereby would Is to "put money in thy purse fill thy purse with money.' And thereby would he quickly heal any slight wound that failure of rate legislation might inflict for O, what a world of vile. Ill-favored faults. Looks handsome In six thousand pounds a year."
