STATE TROOPS
Mob Violence Runs Rampant In San
Francisco Strike Of Street
Car Men
POLICE INADEQUATE
Strikebreakers Refuse to Work
Longer Without Fircnnns John.
Doc Wnrrants Arc Issued.
San Francfsco, May 14. Today,
one week after the Turk street bat
tle, which marked the street car
strike as being one of the bloodiest
in the history of labor disturbances
In San Francisco, was one of the
worst days of vlolnce since that
tragic event. The forenoon passed
with little disturbance, but through
out the hours of afternoon stones
flew on Mission stret between Fifth
and Twenty-fourth for the distance
of about three miles, and the lives of
many passengers as well as those of
non-union men operating on the line
were constantly In danger. Though
nearly 100 policemen, a few of them
mounted, were stationed along Mis
sion street, violence was not pre
vented and comparatively few ar
rests made.
In some Instances passengers nar
rowly escaped great injury or death
from flying cobblestones and brick
bats. Several passengers were as
saulted by crowds, numerous stores
were struck and panes of glaBs wero
smashed and persons alighting from
cars were chased and beaten. At the
car barns on Mission 'street after the
cars had returned tonight motormen
and conductors who since a week ago
havo not been allowed to carry arms,
presented their cars to Assistant
President Mullally.
They told him they believed they
had proved they were not afraid to
take cars out In the face of the mob,
but they had now reached the limit.
They said they took their lives in
their hands every time they went out
of the barns, and the police were
either unwilling or afraid to protect
them. They said they would take the
cars through any mob In San Fran
cisco If Mullally would allow them to
protect themselves, but they would
take out no more cars until they were
given revolvers.
The striking carmen today made a
new move in causing over 100 John
Doe warrants to be Issued for strike
breakers on a charge of violating the
ordinance which makes it a misde
meanor for motormen or conductors
to operate a car before having had
seven days' experience.
TORPEDO SHAPED BOAT.
One Coming to Coos Bay That Is

terior and deck finish of the launch
Is mahogany, making It an attrac

brutal act of the day was the attack
on a passenger, Edward Ralpher,
shortly after 7 o'clock tonight. As

TEN TALESMEN
ARE SELECTED
Good Progress Made In Moyer-Hay-
wood Trial Toward Selection
of a Jury.
CASE WILL BE LONG
Counsel for the Defense States Tlint
It May Consume Several
Months.
Boise, Idaho, May 14. Substantial
progress toward the securing of a
jury was made today. The selection
of the talesmen was halted for three
hours over chairs five and six, but
once these seats were filled progress
was very rapid. At the adjournment
for the day counsel for the defense
had completed the examination and
temporarily passed the tenth tales
man. They had but two more to ex
amine In chief and a reservation to
examine, so If reasonable progress
Is made tomorrow the twelfth tales
man should be passed In time to open
the way for the first peremptory chal
lenge, whose exercise marks the
entry to the final stage of securing a
jury. Counsel for the state still ad
hered to the belief that a Jury will be
secured by Saturday.
Clarence Darrow and Edgard Wil
son divided the work of examining
the talesmen today in behalf of the
defense and their questioning took
the same wide range as did that of
their associate, Mr. Richardson. Wil
son added to a long train of ques
tions, with several regarding mem
bership In the state militia, which
'had at various times been called to
puell strike disorders. The exam
ination failed to disclose any militla
fmen among the talesmen. Darrow
devoted much attention to possible
prejudice and his attitude was ear
nest to the point of solemnity. Ho
gravely invited each succeeding tales
man to place himself mentally In the
position of the prisoners and honestly
ask himself if he would care to be
tried by twelve men of minds framed
like his own.
Mr. Wilson stated that the trial
would occupy several weeks and pos
sibly several months. Ten men so
far have qualified:
William Vanorsdale, grocer; Sam
uel D. Gllman, farmer; Walter
Shaw, farmer; A. L. Ewlng, carpen
ter; Allen Pride, farmer; D. W.
Henry, carpenter; George H. Mcln
lic; farmer; W. N. Ridge, farmer;
Orrlce Cole, mining man, and W. W.
Blsby, real estate and insurance
agent.
Akron, Ohio, May 14. Chairman
Dick of the republican state executive
committee last night issued a state
ment calling off the order for the
conference at Columbus on Wednes
day of the state central committee,
republican members or congress,
county chairmen, state officers and
republican leaders generally. The
call was Issued last week and gave
for its object a discussion of means
of reconciling the clashing Interests
of the political leacers In the state
and maintaining harmony In the
party.
Dick says the purpose of the meet
ing has been misunderstood by some
and misrepresented by others and
thus it has met with some opposition
and disfavor and in other cases ani
mosity. He says he is being con
vinced that party harmoney cannot
be secured through the action f such
a conference. He postponed tho
meeting indefinitely.
C. A. Sehlbrede will leave today
for his ranch, where he will stay
about a week with his family, who
recently moved out there for the

LUCIN CUT-OFF
IS NO ME
Name of Famous Trestle Is Changed
To Great Salt Lake
Cut-Off.
HAS HEAVY TRAFFIC
Regular Dully Trufflcv Over Trestle
Bridge Is About Twenty
seven Trains.
Salt Lake City, May 14. After be
coming famous the world over as the
"Lucln cutoff," the name of this
thirty-mile trestle bridge is to be
changed to the "Great Salt lake cut
off," to Indicate to the uninformed
just where the bridge is located.
Four yearB of severe service have
demonstrated that the Union Pacific
engineers who planned their air line
across tho Great Salt lake from Lucln
to Ogden bliilded well. It has stood
up under the usage so well that to
day unless the traveler by the Over
land route looks out of the window
he would not know from the motion
of the train that he was on a bridge.
This is just as true of the twelve
miles of open trestle as It Is of tho
filled In parts of the line. Tied,
braced, floored and ballasted, tho
40,000 piles that support tho cutoff
high above the water are as sound as
when they were transplanted from
forest to lake. Tho sixteen-foot
bridge Is still as level as a floor.
The regular dally traffic over the
cutoff Is fivo eastbound and five west
bound passenger trains and seven
eastbound and soven weatb.ound
freights. In addition -to this traffic
there are many special freight and
passenger trains, every one of which
gains from one to seven hours by the
cutoff route, which saves forty-three
miles and tho heavy grades of the old
line running around the lake.
Tho $4,500,000 thnt tho Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific spent on
what Is now to bo known as the
"Great Sale lake cutoff" has proved
to be one of the most profitable In
vestments ever made by a railroad.
