San Francisco, California. Aug. 29
The strike situation is unchanged this
morning. Neither element shows indicat
ions of yielding. 1 he confirmation of the
departure of the New York trains loaded
with strike breakers, has given a serious
aspect to the strike. Outbreaks of viol
ence is certain when the trains arrive.
The public in general sympathises with
the striking carmen. During the nights
hundreds of Japanese were smuggled
into the carbarns and this morning put
work on the street track.
A much larger crowd surrounded the
ear barns at Turk and Filmore streets
today than any time since the inauguara
tion of the strike but no demonstration
has yet been exhibited. The railroad is
making no attempt to operate cars but
are waiting till strike breakers arrive
from New York on the saecial trains
armed to the teeth to take charge of the
cars. President Cornelius this afternoon
issued another statement to the public
stating that the position of the union men
is unchanged. Ital.osays that his union
is willing to resume work upon the prom
ise of three dollars a day and eight hours
of work.
At the request of Mayor Schmitz.
president Calhoun of the United States
railroads and president Cornelius of the
Union, met in Mayor Schmitz's office this
morning. Nothing was accomplished. .
Calhoun is obdurate and quoted an
agreement with the Union which provides
for arbitration of disputes. Th s. he said,
me men nad ignored and trie company
had no confidence in any of the agreements
but he would live up to their agreements
and were willing to fill their duty to the
public.
Cornelius declared that the men were
anxious to return to work but insisted
that full demands were to be granted. I

SOME GOOD POINlfcKS ON
SOME VERY GOOD SHOES
Probably you are familiar with the shoe standard of this
store. Perhaps you already know we have no room in
yir stock for any shoe that does not come up to our idea
of a good shoe. We are veritable cranks on the ques
tion of quality in shoes and so far as possible we try to
protect our patrons by excluding all shoes which look
dubious or doubtful.
This fall's showing surpasses all previous display in
the Essential points of style lines and superior con
struction. Not a shoe on sale at this store which we
cannot commend to our customers. We hold ourselves
personally responsible for the worth and wear of our
shoes.
SCHOOL SHOES
we would call your attention to our complete line of
SCHOOL SHOES. If there is one thing that the careful
mother wants it is good shoes for the boys and girls.
One trial order will convince.
The Spokesman Review of yesterday
tells of the circumstances leading up to
the murder in the following clipping:

the fast life he is reported to have lived.
He believed his father had $500 in his
possession. He determined to have the
money. He made his plant carefully, so
he said at one time. Then again
he said he saw his father asleep in hit
room and the Idea came to him suddenly
last night. The boy declared hit father
was asleep in his chair in hit room in

head quarters resemble a general, head
quarters in the field. The expiditions are
being supplied and equipped with ammuni
tion and medicial supplies. Seventy-five
thousand rounds of ammunition and
eleven hundred revolvers have been
ordered. New York surgeons go with
the trains and they will secure assistants
at San Francisco. Many union men are
trying to pass as strike breakers but are
being rejected. As soon as Farley has
twenty five hundred men enroute he will
take a fast train himself for San
Francisco.
BREAKERS HOOTED AT
Chioago Aug., 29 Twenty-seven coach
es, making two sections, of the Farley
train arrived at seven o'clock this morning
The trains have made thirty minutes less
than the scheduled time on their record
run to the coast. There has been slight
delays because union hands refused to
handle ' he cars. The crowds at the depot
hooted, and first section, thirty minutes
ahead of time, left the station. The
second sections is forty-five minutes
ahead of time.
EXAMINER
S
HIS EYES WERE DRY
On arriving at the place the boy threw
himself at the feet of the corpse, covered
his face with his hands and appeared to
be weeping bitterly. Officer McDermott
suddenly said, "Where is your mother?'
With a f tart the boy straightened up.
His eyes weie dry. He had not been
weeping.
Through the active brain of the officer
the thought flashed, "Why is he pretend
ing to weep? What has he to conceal.
That was the undoing af Sidney S!oane.
Detective McDermott and Officer Hood
traced the evidence. The boy was quest
ioned. He weakened and told the story,
He told it brokenly; occasionly subs
shook his frame, but finally he told the
story apparently straight.
HE TOLD MORE LIES
At first he said a man named Riley, of
Rheridan, Wyo.. had conspired to kill his
father for the $500 he carried. He said
Riley had struck the fatal blow, had tak
en $450 and left fof Rossland.
Officer McDermott told the boy he
was lying.
Then young Sloane said his father had
attacked him in passion and that he had
killed him in tulf defense.
Then, teeing that all wat hopeless, he
gave wit tull story, telling how it happen

The boy wat locked up. He it now
lying in the city jail, awaiting his fate.
All day crowds have been gathering
around the station, seeking admission.
Finely dressed women, wishing to see the
boy, at fritnd of the family, and at
torneys withing to get a word to the
ears of the boy.
Admission wat refused. He wanted
to see no one, and his with wat tingu

before the chief and the prosecuting at
torney and repeated hit confession.
IN HIS CELL
This afternoon the Chronicle represent
ative wat admitted to the Jail to tte the
confessed murderer. The youth wat ly
ing at full length on his cot. He covered
hit face with hit Panama hat and refuted
to speak. At the request of the chief he
raised to a sitting posture and looked the
newspaper man in the face.
There was no whimpering there. There
was no shrinking now. He caught the
eye fairly. Then he tank back on hit
couch and again covered hit face with
his hat, from the saze of those Drnt
He said he hid nothing to tay. He did
not want to talk.
The face of Sidney Sloane it not the
face of a criminal. He it a rosy
cheeked boy, slim and tall. Almost fem
enine in his looks and actions, one would
never accuse him of patricide. He hat
a complexion a girl might envy and there
it a carefullness about his dress that al
most speaks the dandy.
Since his confession the boy has taken
things a a matter of course. He has not
whimpered, he has not sulked and has
not complained. The deed is done and
to Sidney Sloane, that appears to end it.

Philadelphia, August 29. Depositors,
including women gathered this morning
from the real estate and trust companies
and have blocked the city's busiest corner.
The women are appealing to the police
with tears. A special detachment has
been sent for reinforcements.
A memberof the ciowd started the
cry, "Kill the officers now and investigate
later." Detectives promptly arrested
the man and kept a close watch on the
others.
Director Earle. who bounded himself
for one million, thinks that the failure is
not so bad as first thought and that the
trusts' funds are safe.
The real estate and Trust Company's
band of Philadelphia has been unmolested
by state bank xam.:iers for about two
years. The thirteen examiners who look
after the s x hur,dred and fifty banking
institution of th s state evidently thought
they were too busy to bother with the
concern that fa:.ed yesterday.
Shortly before r.oor. Warden Hippie,
son of the dead bank president tried to
leave the bank building when the crowd
rushed towards him shouting "There is
the eon of the pi js rogue who said he
wnuld not have fa.tn in a tobacco user"
The boy was fr g-tened and had to be
rescued by the poi'ce and carried on
a policeman's siou'der to a cab.
The Hippie iii was filled today.
He left persona! property worth one
hundred thousands and upwards.
