THE MORNING . OREGOXTAN", MONDAY, MAY 13, 1907. BAY CITY CROWDS KEEP OFF STREETS Governor's Firm Stand for Or der Has Sobering Effect on Trouble-Makers. FIFTY CARS IN OPERATION Tolice Give Aid to Boycott by Re fusing ta Order Teamsters to Get Off Track Company's Opera tions Restrained by Dinan. SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. Fifty streetcars were operated today from 19 o'clock in the morning until 7 o'clock in the evening over two of the 20 odd lines composing the United Railroads system. For the first time since the com mencement of the strike last Sunday cars were run today to the ferries, where about 20.0(10 passengers arrived, many of whom patronized the service. There was very little disorder during the day in comparison with the five days preceding. Thousands of persons evident ly regarded the published injunctions anTI private warnings and remained indoors. for the Sunday crowds were much smaller than usual. Unquestionably the firm stand taken by Governor Gillett, when he announced through the press that he would judge the San Francisco situation by the acts of the people and would not hesitate a moment to call out the militia if rioting should be continued, had a sobering el feet on hundreds of trouble-makers whose acts of violence made the history of the past week a disgraceful and bloody oc casion. Police Aid the Boycott. Five hundred poiioe guarded the streets through which the oO cars were run, but they had little to do. Isolated instances of misconduct on the part of Individual policemen were noted, but on the whole five-sevenths of the entire force of Lhe department gave adequate protection to the two lines that were in operation. On Market street, between Third and Fourth, a union teamster purposely blocked a passenger-laden car and re fused to move off. Two policemen were appealed to, but they replied contemptu ously and turned their backs, according to eye-witnesses. At the ferry building a policeman busied himBelf with boycott work, re questing passengers disembarking from the ferries not to ride on the streetcars. Newspaper men watched the policeman and say that when questioned regarding his conduct he ordered them to move on and threatened them with arrest. The company's programme for tomor row is to start cars on three more lines at 8 o'clock and continue the service until 7 P. M., if the police consent. Operation of System Prevented. An assistant to President Mullally says he would throw open the entire system at once If Chief Dinan would permit him to do so. and that he would run , the cars at night as well as day: that he has the cars to run and the men.ut the Chief compels him to "go slow." The officials r of the United Railroads call attention to Dinan's statement that he is able to protect the company's cars and its men. and cites in comparison that only a ninth of the normal number of cars are being run over only one tenth of the system, and that service stops by police orders at 5 o'clock in the evening. Governor Gillett spent a portion of the day viewing the operation of the 50 cars. In the forenoon he had a conference at the ferry building with President Calhoun of the United Railroads the nature 61 which was not disclosed. FEAR CAIiM FORBODES IIL President Calhoun Not at All Opti mistic as to the Future. SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. There is very little change in the strike situation in this city. Despite the fact that 50 cars were operated today on two lines of the United Railroads without disturbance or molestation, and 10.000 people, according to the figures of the company, availed themselves of this partial service. Presi dent Calhoun tonight was apparently far from optimistic over the situation. He frankly admitted that the carmen had him 'guessing" as to their next move and expressed himself as puzzled by the apparent peace and the reports received by him. which indicate seriou3 trouble later. The sudden change from the fierce rioting the first part of -the week to the attitude of the crowds today, amounting almost to indifference, seemed to impress Mr. cainoun with the idea that some un expected move was feeing contemplated. Strikebreakers Are in Demand. That the United Railroads is still far short of the required number of men to operate its system Is evident from the fact that the company Is advertising in 70 different cities for conductors and motor men. It is understood that there are now between 500 and UOO strikebreakers in the city, and 200 more are expectOed to arrive in a day or two. t Governor Gillett said tonight that he had spent part of the day along the routes traversed "by the cars and saw no Indications of trouble or violentfe. and that the developments of today did not justify the calling out of troops. The Governor expressed the opinion that the police were not handling th'e situation as they should, and said he informed Mayor Schmlti that in hia opinion Chief Dinan was not the proper man to head the po lice force of this city, but as long aa there was no interference with the run ning of the cars he would not interfere with the local authorities. Chief Dinan a Handicap. "Peace was maintained today and the police did good work." said the Gover nor. "I told Mayor Schmitz that he was handicapped by Chief Dinan, but the Mayor stood sponsor for him. and as long as there is no violence and the po lice can cope with the conditions, I shall not interfere. However. I shall remain in the city for several days to watch de velopments." W. D. Mahon, president of the Inter national streetcar men's organization, who arrived last night, was too ill to leave his bed today. He was in frequent con ference with President Cornelius and Sec retary Bowling during the afternoon. Mr. Mahon said he was not prepared to make any statement as yet us to what move the carmen would make until he had thoroughly familiarized himself with the situation. Labor Unions Plan Boycott. It was learned tonight that the Labor Council and the Building Trades Coun cil, who claim that there are 96.000 union men in the city, will this week inaugurate a boycott against the United Railroads similar to the boj-cott maintained by or ganized labor in St. Louis against the street Tailways of that . city "for six months. Many unions, it is said, have already forbidden their members to ride on the cars under genalty of heavy fines. The telephone linemen, after a lengthy meeting today, again deferred the taking of a vote to declare a sympathetic strike in support of the striking telephone oper ators. Action was postponed until Tues day. S. J. McNulty. national president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical orkers. with which the telephone line men are affiliated, was present at the meeting. Mr. McNulty is also here in connection with the carmen's strike which may involve the linemen and electricians of the United Railroads in a sympathetic walkout. The telephone service is still badly crippled. There is no change in the strikes of the laundry and ironworkers. TURKEY FROWNS ON JAPAN Jfot Willing to Grant Her the Same Rights as Other World Powers. CONSTANTINOPLE. May 12. The pour parleurs. by which Japan is seeking to establish diplomatic relations with Tur key and the location of a Japanese am bassador at Constantinople, have en countered rather serious stumbling blocks. Japan wishes to be treated on the same footing as the great powers of Europe with respect to the "capitula tions" by which Turkey gives foreign powers certain supervision over her in ternal affairs, including schools, missions, consular courts, etc. The porte is firmly opposed to conceding these privileges to Japan, as all the efforts of Turkey with in recent years have aimed at the restric tion and ultimate abolition of those priv ileges to foreign powers. The efforts of Japan to establish diplo matic relations with Turkey date back to the period preceding the Russo-Japanese war, and were renewed later at dif ferent intervals. In Novmber, last year, a fresh attempt was made during the presence in Constantinople of two Jap anese staff officers, who were occupied with a -tour of studies in Turkey, one of whom subsequently proceeded to Bagdad. It is stated in official circles that the pour parleurs are still going on, although reticence Is observed regarding the place where the negotiations are being con ducted. On the surface, there are no in dications that many of the European powers are actively opposing the estab lishment of a Japanese embassy at Con stantinople. There is no official opposi tion at least, but it is by no means im probable that certain powers would find it in their interest to intrigue against the project. It Is only necessary to recall the -difficulties the American ambassador, Mr, Leishman. had to overcome to secure rec ognition of his elevated rank. It is obvious that the presence of a Japanese diplomatic representative would naturally tend to strengthen the position of the British ambassador in view of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. This probability might account for the unfavorable atti tude which has been hinted at on the part of certain powers. The Turkish government is disposed to view very favorably Japan's desire to open diplomatic relations with Turkey except for Japan's pretensions to have the same right as the great powers of Europe. In Turkish. circles it is felt that the object of Japan is not so much to develop trading relations with Turkey as political, having to do with Turkey's position as neighbor to Russia. Another reason which makes the sultan per sonally inclined to welcome close rela tions with the far Eastern empire is the hope that Mohammedan missionary pro paganda in that country may be en couraged and developed. PARIS. May 12. The announcement of the approaching nomination of a Jap anese ambassador to Constantinople, thus strongly enforcing the diplomatic repre sentation of Japan in Europe, is entirely satisfactory to France, whose relations with Japan are most friendly. GIVEN THE NAME OF ALFONSO Registration of Birth of the Spanish Prince Officially Performed. MADRID. May 12.

Her entire body haB been srfowered with boiling water, and when women friends removed her cor sets the imprint of the stays was left deep in the scalded flesh. . Courage In Jaws of Death- There were Vountiess deeds of cour age and heroism displayed. A. E. Hagerman, of Reading, refused the aid of his brother nobles after they had dragged him, fatally hurt, from the wrecTc "I am dying," he said. "Go help the women." Sander Deabald, of Cleveland, worked heroically, but unavaillngly, to save the lives of two women pinned beneath the diner. The flames had broken out amid the wreckage, and were burning all about the prostrate forms of the women. Burrowing his way down into the smouldering, splintered work, Dea bald, with a hose which " he had wrenched from a coach connection spouted water from an adjacent tank and extinguished the flames. Then he reached down and after cutting away the broken timbers that held her fast, took Mrs. William "W. Esslck, of Read ing. Pa., from the ruins. She was beg ging plteously for relief when Deabald reached her. As he lifted her from the wreckage a stream of ..boiling water poured over her, scalding her body ter ribly. Women passengers sought to remove her upper garments, but faint ed when the flesh came off with the clothing. She expired after a few min utes, after being carried out on the sands, and. Deabald was 'forced back into the sleepers, unable -longer to en dure the harrowing scenes on every band. Flesh Peels Off With Clothes. "It was the most horrible Bight. ever laid eyes on," he said. "Whenever I touched her the print of the fingers remained in the almost fluid flesh.' Henry J. Fisher, of Cleveland, went, under protest, with his wife and her daughter. Miss Cora Young, and Mrs. John W. Cutler, to the baggagecar. The three women were killed and he es caped almost unharmed from the wreck of the baggage-coach. Today, wan dering dazedly about the streets, Fish er asked, mournfully: "How did escape? Why should they die andtt: live?" A. D. Wasson, of Buffalo, was eat ing at a corner table. He was within six inches of the hot-water tank. When the rescuers neared him he smiled en couragingly. Dragged from under the range of the scalding steam he mur mured, "Thank God!" and died. His wife and their 3-year-old baby were with him on the train and escaped Injury. Charles M. Tyson, of Buffalo, N. T., is ill at the Potter Hotel here, completely unnerved by his experiences. He faced death many times dragging from the debrlB the bodies of friends. He finally collapsed under the Btraln. Relief Train Hurried In. It was some time after the wreck had occurred before word, of it reached the outside world. As soon as one of the uninjured trainmen could make his way to the station, word of the wreck was flashed to railroad headquarters here and at San Luis Obispo. Immediately special trains were arranged for and a corps of physicians and nurses, gathered hurriedly together, were quickly on their way to the station. At 4 o'clock the relief spe cial left this city. It made the run to Honda station. 65 miles, in an- hour and a half. Simultaneously another special left San Luis Obispo, also equipped with nurses and doctors. Already - the work of rescue had been nearly completed by those who had escaped disaster unhurt. Twenty-five bodies lay in rows on the sand beside the track. The injured, many of them unconscious and dying, were scattered about the vicinity on piles of bedding and plush seats brought from the Pull mans. The more fortunate ones were attempting to guard and succor the sufferers. It was determined at once to remove the Injured to San Luis Obispo and bring the dead to this city. The work was quickly accomplished. Before the special bringing the injured had reached San Luis Obispo five more had succumbed to their terrible wounds. Physicians and nurses worked over the survivors Incessantly. Arriving its destination the train was met by a score of ambulances and automobiles, and the injured were quickly carried to the two local sanitariums. The dead were re moved in undertakers' wagons to a morgue. Other Specials Flash By. In the meantime the train returning to this city with its load of dead was side tracked at a lonely switch for the pass age of other trains. Far out on the sandy desert, miles from any habitation or from any wire communication with the outside world, the special waited for two hours while train after train of Shriners bound from Los Angeles to their Eastern homes swept by. In the darkness the occupants of these trains did not know that they were pass ing the funeral train of their brethren. The train was reported due to arrive in this city at 9 o'clock. At that hour everV dead wagon, together with many other vehicles, were assembled at the local Southern Pacific station to transport the bodies to' the morgues. Three local undertaking parlors were filled with bodies of the victims. The work of identification had not yet been completed. Many of the dead were so badly burned and mutilated as to be almost unrecognizable. The undertakers' rooms were besieged by crowds of Shrin ers who were still In the city. By day light all of the dead had been identified. When the relief train arrived at Sutton on the way to the wreck Miss Maria Fuller, 19 years old, of Los Angeles, jumped aboard. I want to go with you to the wreck," she said to Dr. Taylor, the Southern Pa cific division surgeon, who had charge of the train. "You cannot go," Teplied the doctor. Ten minutes later when the train was clipping along at the rate of SO miles an hour a wisp of dark brown hair blow ing above the front car platform drew the attention of Dr. Taylor and the con ductor.

'1 really had to go," she said. "I am a member of South Gate Lodge, Eastern Star, and I am pledged to give aid when ever I can. On the way back she did her best to comfort Mrs. A. D. Watson, whose hus band was killed. Water Car Averts Holocaust. An eye-witness states that the loss of life would have been much greater but for the fact that a carload of water stood upon a sidetrack within s fw feet of the accident. The overturned cars im mediately took Are. and but for the pres ence of this water would hare burned from end to end. Loud praise is bestowed upon a flag man's wife, whose house stood near the scene of the disaster, for the noble work she did in preparing and serving coffee to the wounded. She made trips with cans of coffee and other food. William H. Doherty, a member of the Board of Police Commissioners of Buf falo and a prominent Shriner of Ishmaeli Temple, gave a word picture of his ex periences and the hardships attendant as follows: "I was in one of the rear coaches of the train when the engine jumped the track." he said, "and to this fact I tm- doubtedly owe my life, for everyone killed was either in the diner or the next coacn. We were traveling along at a good rate of speed, but not an excessive one, when the crash came, and before anyone rea lized what had happened the cars were piled up and all were thrown violently from their seats. Those of us who 'could Ket clear of the wreckage ol seats and windows rushed outside to help the un fortunates who were under the forward cars." F-ortunatelv for the injured there were Ave doctors among the surviving STiriners on the train, and by the time the Sant" Barbara relief train nad reacneu tne scene the more seriously wounaei naa received surgical attention and had Deen sent on to San Luis Obispo.
