THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MAT 14, 1907. THOUSANDS BRAVE STRIKERS' ANGER Ban Franciscans Ride on Cars, Despite Missiles and Abuse. ASSAILED WITH CURSES Isolated Acts of Violence Declared by Governor Xo Cause for Militia. Calhoun Bars All -the Union Men. BAN FRANCISCO. May 13. One hun dred cars, manned and guarded by 350 tion-unlon strikebreakers, were operated today from 8 A. M. until 7 P. M. on six of the 20 odd lines of the United Rail roads, There were scores of acta of In dividual violence, but there was no riot beyond the ability of the police to put down. About 40.000 passengers were car ried during the day. Thousands of them, women as well as men, were subjected to Intolerable Insults at the hands of the union men and their sympathizers who cursed foully at the passing cars and the people on them. Hire No More Union Men. PresidentCalhoun of the "United Rail roads In a statement today to the Asso ciated Press advanced beyond the posi tion he has thus far maintained with reference tit the local carmen's union. iHe aidrJ" "I shall notvrake back any striklng-p rnotorman or conductor unless he '"first surrenders his union card and signs a contract to-remain a non-union man so long as he remains In the company's employ." ' He said further: "To run cars at night Is at the present time prohibitive. I hope that the era of violence is about over. I hope that the passions of last week have run their rourse. This much I know, that If any Tion-unlon men are attacked and their Jives endangered and police protection Is not afforded, I shall exercise a con stitutional right and arm them. I shall siot stand by and see my crewst or any Z them beaten up." Governor Watches Closely. Governor Gillett informed newspaper rnen who called on him at staff head quarters In the Gerry building today that lie will maintain these headquarters all Summer. The Governor said: "The state will not withdraw Its eye from San Francisco until this trouble Is fully overcome. I go to Sacramento Thursday, but It Is ony a couple of hours' ride, and I shall be at all times in close touch with Adjutant-General Louck who will remain here in charge of staff head- quarters." ' The Governor declared with emphasis that the police must promptly and vigor ously put a stop to the wholesale abuse Vhat is being heaped upon passengers, tooth women and men, and upon the strikebreakers, by crowds and individuals . ln the streets. He was greatly incensed by the many reports brought to him dur ing the day of vulgar and profane re fnarks addressed by strike sympathizers to people on the cars. Any union man who rides on a streetcar during this strike Is subject to punish ment ranging from a (a or 50 fine to expulsion. The Governor said he thought it would Dot be wise, from a peace standpoint, for Mr. Calhoun to attempt to throw open the entire United Railroads system at once, or to run cars at night Just now. "Mr. Calhoun," said the Governor, "must be guided by his own good sense In resuming operation over his lines. The service should be restored gradually with due regard to the safety of passengers as well as the lives of operatives. I have no doubt Mr. Calhoun understands this quite as well as I do." Child Felled by Brick. Blood flowed as a result of one of the many desultory acts of violence commit ted during the day. A brickbat thrown t a passenger-filled car on the Sutter street line at Fifteenth avenue and Cali fornia street tore open the scalp of a 7-year-old girl, Sophie Frank. The child, bleeding profusely, was removed to Park Emergency Hospital. The surgeons say She will recover. A number of women living in Point Lo bos refuge camp armed themselves with missiles of various sorts and bombarded e passing car. They were doing consid erable execution when the police inter fered. Later in the day some of these 'warlike females laid their babies on the car tracks and were again chased off by the police after several cars had thus been blockaded. At Fourth and Market streets stone and timbers were dropped Upon passing cars from a high building In course of construction. Tt Is understood tonight that the United Railroads will tomorrow operate eight or nine lines. Five hundred regular police and 100 or more specials were employed today In guarding the streets through -htch the cars ran. Many complaints w jrcre .ecelved of refusal of officers to suppress disorderly acts directed against the service. In many other Instances the Jmlice acted with decision and vigor. Talk of Municipal Operation. A new factor was created in the car sfight by the discussion today at a meet ing of the Board of Supervisors of the advisability of the city's taking over the deary-street cable line and operating it on the basis of $3 for an S-hour day the demand which precipitated the strike of " the United Railroads' men. The city owns the Geary-street line, hut has leased it to its former owners, a corporation. A term of this lease provides that the road shall be surrendered to the city upon demand. The Supervisors did not reach a decision. The citizens' committee of 60 appointed recently by the Mayor for mediation pur poses today adopted a report by its sub committee on law and order recommend ing that the Mayor call on the Governor for troops, if the city authorities fall to restore peace. President W. D. Mahon. of the Inter national Carmen's Union, who is here to oversee the strike, today expressed the belief that "with the 90,000 union people of this city backing them the striking carmen cannot lose their fight. The Uni ted Railroads Company," he added, "never can operate Its system at a profit without the patronage of the union people cf the city." Police Refuse to Clear Streets. At First and Market streets a union sympathizer seated in a bus found di version in spitting on passengers on a Twentieth and Castro street car. He was yanked out of the bus by an officer and Jailed for disturbing the peace. , Rocks were thrown at a car at Sixth avenue and California street on the Butter-street line. The crew report that they asked a policeman to turn aside a dray immediately after this happening and that his reply to the strikebreaker was: "Go to hell." The Governor this afternoon received the newspaper men and discussed, the situation frankly with them. This ques tion was asked of the Governor: "Do you regard the situation as suf ficiently serious to warrant the calling out of the militia, or what must the situation be to warrant that step?" He replied: No. Things ax not bad enough ret to require troops. There must be first a gen eral state of riot general threats to do in Jury to lives and property and the congre gation of crowds who defy the police and sporadic acta of Individual violence do not constitute a state of insurrection, and until a state of Insurrection exists I shall not order out the National Guard. I have Just received a report stating that at a corner of Fourth and Market streets workmen on a high building bombarded passing cars with stones- and finally hurled down timbers at them. This and similar acts of outrage are for the police to sup press and they must be repressed sternly, promptly and vigorously. Another thing, this verbal abusing of passengers has got to cease. People must be guarded throughout the ride on the cars in peace and without assault of any kind. The flinging of oaths and shameful obscenity at the public because the public chooses to exercise its right to patronize a public utility must not be toler ated by the police. Must Punish Derelict Police. At this point the Governor listened to a recital of instances happening today in which policemen refused to repress acts of individual disorder and insult, especially along the Mission-street line. He said: ' I wish you newspaper men would invaria bly note the number of the policeman re fusing to do his duty the men paid by the city of San Francisco to protect Its citizens, and. If they refuse oxt fall to do their duty, there Is but one thing for the Chief of Police or the Mayor to do take away their stars. If I see Mayor Schmltz again I shall tell him so. The Chief of Police should macs his very best and most dependable men on HUSBAND TERRY. OF ELLEN James Carew. James Carew, third husband of Ellen Terry, the famous actress. Is a product of Chicago, although born at Goshen, Ind. Carew is his stage name, his real name being James Usselmann.

There Is where the worst trouble is likely to occur and a disturbance starting In the south of Market street district Is apt in the present state of affairs to spread into a great and disastrous riot throughout the city. Other Unions May Strike. A conference was held this afternoon by the officers of the five unions whose members are employes of the United Railroads, at which the question of de claring a sympathetic strike in support of the carmen was discussed. Definite action was postponed till Wednesday morning. During the last strike an agree ment was entered Into by the carmen, firemen, electricians, linemen, machinists and blacksmiths to support each other in the event of a strike. ORDERS CARS TO BE STARTED San Francisco Council Threatens to Municipalize Street Line. SAN, FRAKCISCO, May 13. The Board of Supervisors took action today to seize the Geary Street Railway If the company does not operate cars forthwith. The Board notified President Piatt by Its ser geant at arms tonight, that if the Geary street cars were not running by o'clock "Wednesday morning. Us committee, con sisting of Supervisors Gallagher, Cole man and Coffey, had been Instructed to proceed with plans to equip and operate the road, using the $325,000 or whatever portion might be necessary, of the bond It sue money set aside for a municipal street railroad. This action was taken after a sharp de bate, in which Supervisor Gallagher bit terly attacked Mayor Schmltz and in which R. H. Countryman representing hundreds of rich men's district inhabi tants, stated that he had assurance from the Geary Street road officials that such a demand by the supervisors would be fol lowed by the Immediate resumption of car service, even if the company had to pay $3 for eight hours' work on the part of its employes. The Geary Street road franchise expired some time ago. The company has been permitted to operate the line under the agreement with the city, pending the taking over of 'the road and converting it into a municipal line for which bonds were voted.

ASK FOR NEWS OF RELATIVES Hundreds of Telegrams Four In From Eastern Points. . SANTA BARBARA, Cal.. May 13. Eat est advices tonight from San Luis Obispo Indicate that the death roll of the Honda wreck of last Saturday night is complete with the 82 victims whose bodies are to be taken East tomorrow on a special funeral train, which is expected to leave at 8 o'clock in the morning. Grief-stricken relatives, members of the Mystic Shrine and some of the wounded who are considered able to stand the journey will accompany the bodies. ' Several hundred telegrams have been re ceived here from different points through out the country appealing 'for Information relating to Identity of the dead and in jured. Such messages are still arriving. The' majority of these are from New York, Brooklyn, Newark, Jersey City, St. John's, N. B. and Lewiston, Me., although no Shriners representing these cities were on board the wrecked train. Rev. Forbes Robinson, the Buffalo pas tor, who was in the wreck, preached a memorial sermon, at the Presbyterian Church here. He told of the horrors of Lite disaster. . In his sermon he . told of the wreck. "At about 10 minutes to 1 our train started out loaded with members of the Ismalla Temple, of Buffalo, and Rajah Temple, cf Reading, Pa. We were all hungry, for we had given our entire time in Santa Barbara to Bightseeing, and so we thronged the dining car. I remember that we were on a bridge and I was seated at a table; several of my friends standing about my side were joking about my appetite. "1 ate hurriedly and, rising, gave my seat to one who stood beside me. A moment later he was hurled into eter nity. I went back to the Pullman from the diner. We had just passed the bridge and were going very fast when, quick as a flash, came a Jar. "I heard a crash of splintering wood and braced myself In my seat, thinking my last hour had come. "It was only for a moment I sat. for with others I was on my feet making my way out The engine had turned over and the diner had shot off at the left and the baggage car was completely tele scoped with the dining car. "The diner took fire almost instantly, and the rush of steam made an awful trap for those eating there. "If I were to describe the scenes there it would turn you sick with horror. Flesh peeled in sheets from faces and hands, and death fought with us for his victims. All this time but it was not more than a few minutes the fire was spreading and we knew that we must check it. A water tank was on the switch, fortunately and we formed a bucket brigade and suc ceeded in putting the fire out. After we had rescued all we could and the number was pitifully small we went to the other side and found that the Pull man had gone over the baggage car. Hearing screams, we forced our way over the ruins. Mrs. Grummond, of Bingham ton, N. T., was pinned down and scream for aid. Mr. and Mrs. Cutler were lving on her, both dead. We talked with Mrs. Grummond and assured her that we would take her out I never saw a braver nor pluckier little woman. For two hours we worked there, and her voice always cheered us on. The car leaned perilously, and we had to take crowbars and dig our way through trunks, pulling the clothing out to get the trunks loose, so fast were they wedged. All the time we feared fire, for the peril was great, but at last we reached the woman and took her out Her ankle was broken. The relief train came and we loaded the injured in it and sent them to San Luis Obispo. Many will sro through life badly scarred and maimed." The unknown woman who was fatally Injured in the Honda wreck and who died on arrival in San Luis Obispo on Sat urday, has been identified as Mrs. E. Kehler, of Reading, Pa. EXCHANGE GREETINGS AND DIE Pathetic End of Bride and Groom In Fatal W reck. SAN FRANCISCO. May 13. Three trains bearing Shriners have arrived from the scene of the wreck. An ex cursion train containing JB Shriners which had been but ar few miles be hind the wrecked train, arrived late last evening. The train was switched around the wreck and the passengers agree in the statement that it was the most deplorable sight they ever witnessed. Dr. Ware, of Cincinnati, who was the first physician to reach the scene, ar rived last night and told a graphic story of the terrible scenes that he witnessed. The most pathetlo Incident was the death of a bride and groom at almost the same instant each believing that the other still lived. L. N. Ellen bogen and his bride, of Allentown. Pa., were members of the excursion party, and were thrown from the coach on opposite sides of the track as it rolled upon the ground. Both were mortally Injured, but retained consciousness and exhibited remarkable bravery. The wife's first thought was for her hus band, and the husband's first thought was for his wife. Tell my wife that I am all right murmured Ellenbogen to the doctor. "Give her my love and let me know how she It." Mrs. Ellenbogren in re turn sent a message of love to her hus band, with the assurance that she was all right. Before the physician could carry another message both were dead. RECEPTION HERE INFORMAL Greeting of Returning Shriners Mod ified Because of Disaster. A special meeting of AI Kader Temple of the Mystic Shrine was held last night at Masonic Hall. Owing to the great disaster which overtook the special train on the Coast line of the Southern Pacific it was decided to make all fea tures in connection with the projected reception of the returning Shriners as informal as possible. The parade from the Union Depot to the Portland Hotel was therefore abandoned, and Instead the visitors will be taken on automobiles and streetcars to the hotel headquarters. Members of Al Kader residing along the Willamette Valley are requested to meet and greet the returning Shriners at all points where the trains should stop long enough to enable them to do so. Potentate Douglas W. Taylor appointed a committee consisting of Cyrus A. Dolph, J. W. Cook. Philip Metcham and J. F. Booth to draw suitable resolutions on the death of the Shriners of Ismalla Temple of Buffalo and Rajah Temple of Reading, Pa., and transmit the same to the officers and members of those Shrines. It was also announced that the special train with the Imperial potentate on board was delayed and would not arrive here until Wednesday morning.

RECORD ANGERS HAYWOOD (Continued From First Page.) work in the Haywood trial and the one step forward was the qualification of single talesman, who seems marked for peremptory challenge later. The rest of the time went to the talesmen of the spe cial venire and the reasons that made it Impossible for them to serve the state at this time. Judge -Wood called the case at 2 o'clock and at once gave attention to the 100 men summoned by Sheriff Hod gin 1- the special venire issued on Thurs day last The court asked those who had special excuses to come forward and up surged a littla mob of 35. They swarmed around the clerk's desk and choked up the left approach to the bench. Seven of them were sick and five of them were the husbands of sick wives. Some presented crisp-looking certificates from doctors. others offered their quaking bodies as visual evidence, the rest pleaded earnest ly. Then there were ditch-riders who must ride hard and constantly these days in this land of irrigation, where water is a community concern. Next there was a batch of Federal grand jurors who are under call to meet on June 15, a date that will surely conflict with this trial, and after them trooped a little column of county officials great and smalt Then there were administrators tf estates with heirs who may suffer by their en forced absence, and two bankers who must watch and count the coin in Na tional banks. In age they range from gray-haired, old chaps, quivering vunder their years to husky youngsters in early citizenship and in appearance from the weather-marked, muscle-gnarled off the farm to well-dressed comfortable burgh ers. With tact and patience Judge Wood heard them through and the 85 tales were Good Merchandise 100 Jaunty Box Coats for Spring Values to $8.50 Tnseasideay $4.89 ioo new Box Coats, for women and misses ; of fancy striped and mixed cloths, in light, me dium and dark colors; made 35 inches long; some in the new Gibson effect, flj oq with velvet collar; sold regularly to $8.50; a great Tuesday special at only ijFTXeOIv MAIL ORDERS FILLED.

Twenty-four of the pleaders were excused and the other 11 returned to the panel, either temporarily or permanently, leaving the total at 76. In the hour devoted to counsel's exam ination of talesmen, Ellsworth Lister, a young farmer, who had vainly strlved to be excused, went down before an objec tion from the prosecution for implied bias and gave way to Walter Shawi 29 years old, a brother of a present member of the Idaho Legislature, now a farmer and for merly a meatcutter of Seattle and Ever ett, Wash. Mr. Bhaw Qualified after an extended examination that filled the time down to adjournment, but he was lndlfi nlte in many of bis answers and seemed uninformed upon many znatters essential In the standard gTade of Jurors. Mr. Shaw is generally labeled for peremptory challenge. The examination by James H. Hawley, leading counsel for the state, was again brief, that of E. F. Richardson again long and searching. Mr. Hawley chiefly di rected himself to the question of attitude toward circumstantial evidence, capital punishment and the absence of the pris oner from Idaho when the crime was committed. He also sought for possible feeling as to ex-Governor Steunenberg personally, and carefully questioned the talesmen as to formed and expressed opinions and the possibility of their re moval by competent evidence. Search for Prejudice Keen. Mr. Hawleys direct challenge of Mr. Lister, in which the defense acquiesced, made Mr. Shaw the only talesman ex amined by Mr. Richardson. Once again he asked as to the effect of the let ter of President Roosevelt, designat ing Haywood and his associates as "undesirable citizens," the speeches of Secretary Taft and the acts of Govern or Gooding and the Idaho Legislature. He again carefully sought for preju dice against Socialists and members of the Western Federation of Miners, possible bias against members of labor unions generally. He also covered the line of sympathy with or Interest In the organization of mlneowners and the Citizens' Alliance and possible local alliances in the church, the lodge and the political party. Mr. Shaw said that after lie had been summoned on Saturday last he talked the facts over with the members of his family, and this led Judge Wood to pointedly admonish the other tales men to refrain from discussing the case with anyone under any circum stances. Ho asked them to report to him the name or names of any person or persons who attempted after warn ing to talk to them about the case. Stennenberg'a Son In Court. To the court this afternoon came Julian Stuenenberg son of the murdered Governor, a tall, sturdy youth, Btrik ingly like his father in face and figure. For two hours he sat with the mem bers of the Boise Bar, ten feet from the chair of the prisoner, William Haywood. -He spoke to no one and re mained a quiet, unobtrusive spectator. He is here under subpena as a wit ness, and it is expected will be among the first called. The Haywood group was the same as last Thursday. The prisoner sat at tbe inner end of the line of chairs in the rear of the defense's table. Next to him were his youngest daughter and at her right a friend. Next in line was the invalid wife and mother, and at her right the comely elder daughter. They, too, were quiet and unobtrusive spectators of the proceedings. The courtroom waa crowded for the first time, bat that was because of the presence of the summoned 100 Jurors. An hour after the session began Sher iff Hodgln ordered the doors closed, and for the rest of the afternoon admis sion was denied the few stragglers who came along. There are now 12 men occupying the Jury-box and jury-house. Of the num ber four have been examined and tem porarily passed ibr both, aides, and Only Quality Considered Our Prices Are eight remain to be questioned by the defense. In future the court is to stt from 10 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 2 to 4.80 in the afternoon, un less otherwise ordered by Judge Wood. WILKIE NOT WATCHING TRIAL Secret Service Chief Denies Roose velt Sent Him to Boise. LOd ANGELES. Cal., May 18.-John B. Wilkle, chief of the United States secret service, who is visiting this city, denied that he has been commanded by President Roosevelt to Investigate the re port whether or not Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbone, of the Western Federation of Miners, are to obtain a fair trial in Idaho. Today he gave it as his opinion that Francis J. Heney will resume the prose cution of land-frad cases in the North west as soon as he concludes his San Francisco trials, and that Blnger Her mann, late Commissioner of the Land Of fice, will be among the first to be tried. Wants Telegram Sent Orchard. SPOKANE. Wash.. May 18. A. D. Campbell, local manager of the West ern Union Telegraph Company, is to be a witness in the trial of the officers of the Western Federation of Miners at Boise. It appears that a detective in the employ of the Government became aware of the fact that officers of the Western Federation had sent a mes sage to Spokane 'to one of its represen tatives In regard to the Steunenberg murder. This representative is supposed to have been Orchard, but Mr. Campbell is wanted in Boise to determine that matter.
