Small, former presi dent of the Commercial Telegraphers’ union, left Ulrich's hall in team Sun day afternoon. He did not get the vindication which he sought at the hands of the rank and file of the local union. As Small left the haU he appeared broken-hearted and declared he had given up the fight for restoration to his former position. His successor, W . W. Beattie, of Washington, who was vice president of the organization, was for mally recognized as the new' head of the union. He announced that his pol icy would be an aggressive one. When the meeting opened, President Small, who had been waiting in an ante-room for a chance to be heard, wus invited to |the platform. Hardly had he ascended the steps to the platform, when a number of strikers got up and left the room. The others hooted and hissed so that the words of the former president were drowned. In a pathetic way he appealed to the older members of the union saying that he had child ren and that they should not Le dis graced by the branding of their father as dishonest without one bit of evidence and without a hearing. This appeal, however, had little ef fect, although a great many of the strikers afeer the meeting had adjourn ed agreed that Small had been treated shamefully and at least should have been received with common decency. It was voted Co assess broker and leased wire opc»ators two days’ pay each week in lieu of tailing them out on strike. P O LITE T O W OM EN. Robber Makes Demands Only on the Men Passengers.

B A TTLE ON STREETCAR . One Man Killed and Three Injured Over Tranafer. Han F’ranclaco, Oct. 21.— A* a result of trouble over a transfer slip on a Polk street car of tho United Railroads sys tem Hnturday evening, one man was shot and killed, another so seriously wounded that death w ill probably en sue, and two other men less severely Injured. When the ear left the ferry to pass out Mission street, on its way to Polk, it was packed with {MtsseiigerM, includ ing men returning Itom work, and wo men and children who hail been across the («ty. The crowded condition of the car made it ditlicult for the con doctor to collect fares and, when Polk street was reached, both he and the on- comfortably crowded pusseugers were in a condition of Irritable nervousness. The limit who started the trouble, ac cording to his own admissions to the police, was John Monger. He said that when he paid hia fare, early on the trip, he hail asktsl the conductor for a transfer. Brown was busy and told Monger to wait awhile. Monger re peated his request several times, and Bruwn failed to hand him the slip. Finally Monger concluded that Brown did not intend to give him the ticket, and struck at the conductor. The lut- ter dodged the blow and struck littek at Monger, striking him in the (see and knocking him down. It was at this juncture that the shooting commenced. At the same time some one threw off the trolley and the car came to a standstill. The stop page of the car, coupled with the noise in the rear, led the rnotorinan to lie- lieve that his mate was in danger and, revolver in hand, he pushed his way through the crowded passengers.
