SA DIEGO CITY JAIL WAS TOUGH Prisoners Released Tell of Brutal Treatment They Were Subjected to While Confined and Awaiting Trial. 45 IN A CELL 16 BY 16 FEET Formaldehyde Funics Were Injected Into the Crowded Jul! Tanks, and There Was a Round of Healings, ClioklngK and Clubbings by Police Officers The Sunltary Condltlous Were Frightful und Fond Filthy. San Diego Cal., June 7. Injection of formaldehyde fumes Into crowded jail tanks, continued beatings, chok Ings and clubbings by police officers; frightful sanitary conditions and fil thy food are parts of the stories told today by 15 members of the I. W. W. who have pleaded guilty to charges of violating the street spenklng or dinance annd are out of the city jail on probation. "We were not held in detention only," said Charles Pierce, one of the released prisoners, today. "We were punished before we had been tried." Pierce, who Is a young man of more than ordinary intelligence had been In the city Jul! for 118 days. He waB among the first arrested for street-speaking February 8. He was employed by tho city on street work from Christmas up to the day before he was ararested. Thrown In Drunk Tank. After our arrest, continued Pierce, 'we were thrown into the 'drunk tank.' This Is cell 16x1(1 feet. There were 46 of us crowded In there seven days without blankets, with cement floor to sleep on and under awful san itary conditions. Some of us bad to sleep Blading up with our feet under other men's liodles. It Is a disgrace to humanity that any human being should hand to nnother such food as was banded to us to keep body and soul together. "At Intervals some of us would be taken out of the cell, and for no cause that we could discover, beaten, choked und kicked. Every vile epithet that a !epraved mind could imagine was ap plied to us. Chief of Detectives Joe Meyers was particularly brutal. 7H Iii One Sim.ll Room. "After seven days In the small tank "8 of us were crowded Into a larger one that would have been well filled with 20 men. "Ilefore (lie death of Michael Hoey, the old man who succumbed from the effects of a kick In the groin by a policeman and we all know that that Is what he died from, no matter what the coroner's Jury said we tried to get a doctor for him. Several times we created a racket In order to draw some one to the cell, that we might tell of lloey's condition, Perhaps It was because of these disturbances, or for tome other reason, that recently n strangling gas of some kind was In jected into the tank. I think It must have been formaldehyde, because we had been threatened with that. (Contitued on Put .i TA FT BETS ALABAf, ROOSEVELT Calls All to Arms. Havana, June 7.

CALIFORNIA ALL READY FOR A BOLT THE ENTHUSIASTIC PROGRESS- 8IVES PREDICT A BLOWING UP OF HOT II OLD PARTIES A XI) T1IF. FORMATION OF A NEW OJlK UNITED PIIE8S LEAKED WIUE. Sacramento, Cal., June 7. Expect ing the explosion and destruction of both the old Republicans and the old Democratic paratles and their respect lv national conventions nnd the for mation of progressive and reactionary parties from the fragraments, the Roosevelt politicians at California's cnpltol today are more than pleased at the prospect. They are eager to have a part In the contest at Chicago. If the progressives are "steum roll- ered," California will be among the first to bolt the convention and es tablish an independent organization. 'If Taft Bteuls the convention,'' said one of the administration leaders to day, the I loose volt delegates win all walk out and slay out; the old bosses and their special Interests will be de clared the real enemy, und a demo cratprobably Bryan will be elect ed in November. Indeed, llryan is nearer to the presidency today than any other mnn, than Roosevelt. Roos evelt's chance depends on his getting the regular nomination in Chicago." This tulk is not exceptional here. Democrats speak In the same way of the Baltimore convention. They pre dict that the nomination of any man but llryan or Woodrow Wilson will mean the wreck of the present or ganization, and the birth of a new party with such men as l,aFollette, Bryan, Wilson, l'lnchot, Brandels and Johnson as Its lenders. Governor Johnson has not yet pre pared any text for his speech second ing the nomination of Colonel Roose velt at Chicago. It Is understood that he will deliver to the convention the western progressives ultimatum for a platform of social reconstruction. There will be no diplomacy ho far as he Is concerned. He will carry a blunt challenge to Boss Penrose and Boss Barnes. Fish Threaten Ruin. UNITED rtr.nn LEASED WISE.l Shu Bernardino. Cal., June 7.

Senator Borah In demanding a record vote, said In part: "After you have made, a record, von must be willing to stand on it. Why should we leavo a record that will be aBsalluble as fraudulent? We "iiist be on the level with the vot ers." Denis Flynn, of Oklahoma acting under proxy, moved to table Borah's motion. Mad clear through, Borah shouted ; "I know you are resorting to the steam roller, but I certainly Intend to get myself on record before you crush me. I do not want It cush ioned, but I do Intend to know Just where I stand here." Some ono objected to Borah con tinuing, but, slinking Ills fist at the committeemen; the Idaho mnn shouted: "You will muke no progress here until you permit me to get this rec- ord straight." Borah then sat down and the hear ing of the Alabama contests was re sumed. Came UN h Pacifier. Oscar Dudley, a Roosevelt man charged that federal office holders dominate the Republican organiza tion in Alabamu, nnd attacked the legality of the election of the Taft delegates. Most of the committee men paid but Utile attention to Hud- ley's remarks. O. D. Street, a Taft supporter, Im mediately denied that intimldallon and fraud hud been used by the Taft people In Alabama. During Ihe ar guments Senator Borah, who is one of Colonel Roosevelt's Btaunehest suppliers, concerred with Henulor SOLDIERS ARE TO QUELL RIOTS III' MASSACHUSETTS Hartford, Conn., Juno 7.

A representative of the Portland, Eugene und Eastern ruilroad was seen at. Portland today, and said hU company was not. going to do any thing further on the Hue to Rosedale at present, on ac( nt of the high price of right of way. The cost of the three miles from Salem Heights to Itosedale for construction will be ubout $70,iio. For the right of way MU.OOO is being asked. The company bus the money to build but cannot put over $110,000 per mile Into the road. Their prospective biiHluesa does not. Justify more expensive con struction, und that must include the tennlniils at Itosedale. . The Southern I'iicIIIo has Just bought light of way from Huloiii to Fir station nt the mar ket price per acre for the land used and they are willing to pay that tu Kosedale. The price asked from th Portland, Eugene and Eastern In much higher than the Oregon Elec tric paid from Salem to Albany -r mile. The party Interviewed said they would be compelled to condemn the larger part of the way and that would delay construction as there are.no terms of court In summer, and they do not want any litigation. ! Surveys are being made on other ex tensions, and, wlille the line to Rose dale could be built In 00 days, the present pluns are to let the matter rest.
