CAUSE OF COLLAPSI
Madrid Reservoir Rested on
Old Water-Pipes.
WHOLE CITY IS. IN MOURNING
Ten of the Rescued Workmen Go
Maci Material Condemned'as De
fectiveKing Watches Work,
and Visits Injured.
MADRID, April 9. It appears that un
derneath the foundations of the reservoir
which gave way with such disastrous re
sults on Saturday were water pipes used
to supply the palace and old Madrid. It
is stated that fills was the cause of the
subsidence and not the surface of the
ground, which, when tests were made,
j-ank only 11 millimeters. The vault was
lmilt of coment with Iron girders, as were
also the supporting columns. The first
fall caused all the millarE to bend and the
end of the Iron work to stretch, resulting
In a general and uniform collapse. Tiiese
explanations, "however, cannot be consid
ered final.
Madrid newspapers publish assertions
that the disaster bad been foreseen by en
gineers as well as by workmen. It is now
recalled that the bad condition of the soil
on which the reservoir was constructed
caused keen opposition and numerous
criticisms when the scheme was being
discussed jn the courts.
Workmen, who have been questioned say
that they were compelled to build too
rapidly with materials so defective that a
disaster was bound to happen.
Many heartrending incidents and pain
ful scenes are reported. Ten of those
who wore rescued alive have gone mad.
A huge crowd stood around the scene
throughout the night watching the at
tempts at rescue in the light of huge elec
tric lamps. v
Crowds of workmen and women carry
ing flags forced all the theaters to close
Saturday night.
King Alfonso had a. telephone "wire laid
from the scene of the disaster to the pal
ace and was kept constantly Informed.
The King again visited the hospitals this
morning. Some of the Injured have died.
One body was recovered from the ruins
during the night, but none later. Seven
hundred workmen are engaged in clear
ing the debris.
During the day students and workmen
paraded the streets collecting money for
the families of victims of the disaster.
The public is contributing freely.
The Governor of Madrid has prohibited
a great popular tdemonstration of mourn
ing which the workmen wished to organ
ize, but he received the delegates of the
workmen's associations, whom he In
formed that a street procession would be
permitted under certain restrictions.
An exact estimate of the casualties Is
still impossible, but it is stated that there
were 236 men in the lower part of the
reservoir, all of whom were killed.
WORKMEN CARRY BLACK FLAGS
Police Are Stoned When They Seize
Emblems of Sorrow.
MADRID, April 9. Carrying black ban
ners, 50,000 workmen made a demonstra
tion this afternoon near the scene of Sat
urday's reservoir disaster. The police, on
seizing the flags, were stoned by the
crowd and several -on. both sides were
severely injured.
Alfonso Goes to Storm Center.
MADRID, April 3. King Alfonso, ac
companied by Senors Montiegui -and Co
blan. respectively Ministers of "War and
Marine, and their suites, left tonight for
Valencia, where the students' strike has
ended, though there were disorders Sat
urday night, when the students burned
yeveraJ tramway oars. Energetic police
measures have been taken, and it Is ex
pectod that the King will be warmly wel
comed. Two British Peers Die.

at Naples on Friday, Morocco was not
discussed.
Press Agent for Czar.
Baltimore Herald.
.rne uzar ot Kussia needs a press
agent. He doesn't lenow what Is going
on in his empire, and the grand dukes
and others who control things refuse
to let him have the newspapers, espe
daily those published In foreign coun
tries, so that the poor ruler gets only
one side, or no side of the troubles.
Quite a number of press agents are
at llborty In America. Not a few of
them have written up for the news
papers such lurid copy about actors
and actresses that the players have
bean unable to live up to the roputa
tions manufactured for them by 'the
imaginative writers, and henco separa
tions have occurred.
Apart from these, however, the Czar
can engage able and trustworthy writ
ers in the United States who will see
that he gets the news If they are guar
anteed protection from the grand dukes
and their supporters. A .food, live
American reporter could give the Czar
more Information in a. month about his
empire and people than he has ever
had.' The job being attended with dif
ficulties, of course, a. salary equal to
that of a major-general would be ex
pected. It might be necessary also to
provide a bomb-proof suit of armor and
a steel car for traveling purposes. But
the , American reporter would set tho
news.

MORMONS SPIT FIRE
Conference Ends With Denun
ciation of Critics',
WOULD HORSEWHIP THEM
Kimball Says President Smith Saved
Them From Such a Fate Apostle
Smith. Claims Roosevelt as
Friend of Church.
SALT LAKE CITY, April 9. The 75th
annual conference of the Mormon Church
closed today, after the members present
had unanimously voted it the best "con
ference in the hiBtory of the church.
Those who recently have attacked the
church and Its leaders were referred to
in an address by J. Golden Kimball,' one
of the first seven presidents of seventies.
who said:
"If It were not for Joseph F. Smith.
a man of God, who restrains his children
and they are obedient to their father. I
want to tell you that there would be
some men here horsewhipped. But his
children obey him, and he Is a man of
God and needs no apology."
President Kimball denounced President
Smith's critics as traitors to the church,
and added:
"If you want to go to hell, black your
boots and go like a gentleman, not like a
traitor."
Apostle Hyrum Mack Smith, son of
President Joseph' Smith, also attacked
the critics of the church, especially news
paper writers, and said President Roose
velt was obliged to have a guard when
he traveled because of the libelous state
ments and cartoons about him lrv the
newspapers. Apostle Smith said further:
In President Roosevelt we have a
friend, and he has friends among the Latter-Day
Saints. And we will be true to
him and true to Old Glory, because we
arc a true -people. President Roosevelt
will give us a square deal. "We will do
all we can to sustain President Roose
velt, for we are true to him and we
will demonstrate it In the future as we
have In the past."
Sailors and Longshoremen
The following statement as to differ--
ences between the Sailors' Union and lo
cal stevedores and longshoremen, is sub
mitted by A. Furuseth, secretary of the
Sailors' Union of the Pacific:
There Is trouble between the seamen and
longshoremen along this coast, and Portland
has seen signs of It, In some street rows, in
some cases 'In the Police Court, and latest In
the arrest and trial of the Se&men's . Union
agent on charge of violating the state law
under which sailors' boarding-houses are con
ducted, the charge against the agent being
that of harboring seamen. From the wltneesea
produced It appears that behind the proee-
f-cutlon are the stevedore, the longshoremen
and the licensed boarding-house keepers. The
stevedores want to contract for the loading
of 'Vessels, that would Increase their busi
ness; the boarding-house ring wants to fur
nish men for the vessel, on account ot the
allotment or advance and the blood money,
that would increase their proflts;the long
shoremen want more steady employment.
and they easily persuade themselves that the
sailor's work Is to sail the vessel alter she
Is ready for sea.
The stevedored and boarding-house keepers
have at all times and In all places worked
together, and have usually succeeded In us
Ing the longshoremen to advance their own
Interests as against that ot the seamen, the
vessels and the seaports In which they have
been powerful for political or other reasons.
Organized longshoremen have at times re
fused to be used; at other times their very
organisation made them more valuable in
the. hands of the two other Interests.
Seamen Mere Chattels. '
While the seamen are mere chattels lthe
property of the vessel, tied to It, a the
slave was tied to the plantation, aa Is yet
the case of the foreign seamen In our ports
and ours in foreign ports under treaties with
other nations), tho crimp Is an &!d to the
seaman who wants to desert, to the captain
who wants to get rid of his men to save
trouble, and the owner who desires to nave
expense by desertion of the crew. In com
munities without registration laws he has
been an effective aid to the political boss In
election times and in return has had protec
tlon of the boss and assistance In evading the
Federal law In so far 'as It was troublesome
to blm. These conditions gave him his
power: the advance and blood money gave
him his Income. Generally the only one
hurt was the seaman, who, having neither
freedom to act, nor friends to act for him.
was helpless. '
About 20 yearn ago the seamen began to
organize on this coast. The purpose was
to abolish the crimping system, the advance
and blood money, to generally Improve the
condition afloat and on shore, and to win for
the men going to sea the same personal lib
erty that had years ago been granted to
working men on shore. Agitation, eduea
tlon and a persistent struggle for legislation
resulted In 1S9S In the paesage of a law
which made of the seamen In American ve
sels. while In. the United States or near-by
foreign countries, a free man; free to fulfil
or to violate any contract for personal serv
ice or labor while lying In harbor, the free
dom given to all other white workers with
in the United States some 70 years, to the
blacks some 40 years, earlier.
This same act of Congress prohibited all
allotment or advance of wages In the coast
wise trade, and reduced It In the foreign
trade to one month s wages as a maximum.
Unfortunately "remuneration for the ship
ment of 6eamen (blood money) was per
xnltted, and the crimp could continue to
"cinch" tKe owners when men are scarce.
and the seamen, when they are plentiful. This
Inevitable result was pointed out to Sen
ators who favored It; but powerful Interests
among the vessel-owners wanted It, and the
warning was unheeded.
Seamen Perfect Organisation.
The seamen eagerly used the boon of free
dom to extend and perfect their organ !za
tlon. which again Insisted upon tho strict en
forcement ot the new laws. Allotment or
advance in the coastwise trade became
thing of the past; violation of the allotment
law In foreign or foreign-going American
vessels were prosecuted, and where the Sea
men's Union was there the law was enforced
in so . far as the officials would act. Seamen
who bad shipped to go to a foreign port
via, some other American port, where the
vessel was loaded, remained In their ves
sels and In accordance with law, alone or with
the help of longshoremen, loaded the ves
sels. This cut Into the business of the irteve
dore and the profits of the crimps, while 1
distinctly benefited the seamen, the owners
of vessels and the ports In question.
On this coast the City of Portland remained
for a long time untouched by the new con
dltlons, and when men signed shipping ar
ticles In San Tedro or San Francisco to go
to some foreign port via Fortland, It meant
that the crew would be compelled to Ieav
the vessel in this nlace. The stevedores
would get the contract for loading and the
crimps would furnish the men, charging the
men and the vessels "all that the traffic
would bear." Seamen complained to the!:
organization and owners of vessels belonging
to this Coast urged- that the Seamen's Union
open a branch in Portland to stop as far as
possible this nefarious traffic. In 1902,
the Summer, men were sent from San Fran
Cisco to man coastwise vessels going oft
shore: this was done at great expense
to
the union and the vessel-owners, and In Jan
uary. 1003. the union opened a branch In this
city. The purpose was and Is to abolish
advance and blood money In coasting ves
sels 'going off shore and to furnish a place
where the Idle seaman, sailing In the coast
wise trade or to foreign ports In coastwls
vessels might be found by captains needing
them, without expense to either party. This

the Sailor's Union. In Portland.
Beginning of Trouble. -During
1001 In the Summer, there was .an
unfortunate labor struggle In San Francisco.
It began with the teamsters, and extended
to the longshoremen and seamen. It prac
tically stopped the maritime commerce of
that city for about two montns. For tho
first time It was realized that the free sea
man was . pouible great industrial factor,
and that to control the Seamen's Union or
prevent the seamen from organizing was one
of the problems confronting the stevedores,
the crimps and such owners as were disin
clined to pay living wages to men going to
sea.
Daniel J. Keefe. the .president of the In
ternational Longshoremen's Association, came
to this Coast on a visit, studied the situa
tion, consulted with the stevedores and some
shipowners, and when the International Long
shoremen's Association met in convention In
the Summer of 1002, the alms and objects
of that organization were so enlarged as to
Include the organization of Marine and Trans
port "Workers with the Longshoremen. By ob
taining Industrial jurisdiction over the sea
men. It would be easy for the longshoremen,
being necessarily In majority In all such
conventions, to allot to the seamen, such
Work as the stevedores and longshoremen
did cot want, and In other ways to deter
mine the wages and other conditions under
which seamen should work or strike. Such
condition would manifestly put the steady
flow ot marl 11 me commerce at the mercy of
men on shore, men generally as Ignorant and
careless of the seamen's condition as the
average citizen is of the condition obtaining
In the Interior of China. To the seamen
would be lost through organization what had
been gained by legislation, and to the ship
owner would come trouble and expense with
out any material compensation from any
Increased efficiency in the men obtainable.
Seamen Enter Protest.
The seamen protested at the convention
ot the American Federation of Labor at New
Orleans, and the request of the Longshore
men for a change In their name and juris
diction was refused. The name Internation
al Longshoremen, Marine and Transport
"Workers had. been assumed; It was kept
and brought as prominently before the public
as possible until It was beginning to be
generally "believed that the seamen were.
or ought to be, a part of this supposedly
large combination. On one hand legislators.
on the other large employers of labor, where
appealed to under this new name and unless
the seamen were willing to sacrifice their
own Interests, that of their craft, and their
employers as well, steps have been taken to
stop this wholesale misrepresentation. The
American Federation of Labor was appealed
to at Boston In 1003 and at San Francisco
1904; but without any tangible results. The
conventions refused to Issue charter under
the new name and jurisdiction; but were
unwilling or unable to prevent the misrep
resentation continuing.
At their coast meeting in Astoria during
1004 the Longshoremen adopted a resolution
binding themselves to refuse to work with
the crew In any vessel going to foreign
ports. "What the stevedores and boarding-
house keepers promised them In return does
not appear, but may be surmised from the
lively Interest taken In the trial of the
Seamen'B Union agent. The resolution was
made applicable to the whole Coast; but
has not been seriously enforced except In
this city, where In some Instances the crews
were- forced out through the willingness of
masters or owners. In others through appli
cation of physical force.
That the seamen will not permit them
selves to be driven out of the vessels on
which they have signed and thereby losing
the money earned In bringing the vessels to
this port Is certain; unless the people of
Portland shall through misinformation on
these matters be induced to use the power
ot tbe state and city against tbe law and
the seamen, and In support of tbe stevedores
and crimps. This Is hardly thinkable, and
here as In other places on this Coast the
men. going to sea will ultimately have a fair
chance. The Interest of the country, which
demands seamen, and of the city and state,
which want to redeem Its good name, will
assure to the seamen a fair chance, even If
the union should ultimately be' compelled
to bring to this city from other places the
necessary number of men to do such wor!
the longshoremen may refuse to do.
In the beginning of January, this year, the
seamen of this Coast adopted a general
ballot and a practically unanimous vote, a
resolution, declaring that they would not
recognize as union men any longshoremen
who were then or should be members of the
so-called International Longshoremen, Marine
and Transport "Workers" Association.
For the legitimate longshoremen the -sea
men have none but the kindliest of feelings
and best wishes and they desire for them
success In their efforts to Improve their con
dition as workers and as citizens; but with
longshoremen who Insist upon having a
right to determine the condition under which
men going to sea are to work or refuse to
work, there can be little sympathy, and
when they ally themselves with the steve
dores to drive seamen out of their vessels
and into idlneas and with the crimps to
perpetuate the crimping system, there can
be no peace except when the longshoremen
shall realize that the seamen, too. are men
with right to live. Let the longshoremen
cease to claim jurisdiction over seamen and
break off the alliance with the crimps; It
will be better so for them, the seamen.
and the employers of both. It will be better
for the commerce ot the City of Portland
and It can harm no one but the crimps.

Do not undervalue the 1
services of a skilful phy-

Therefore we say : Con-
suit your physician freely
about your case and ask
him what he thinks about I
your taking Ayer's Cherry j
Pectoral for your cough.
If he says take it, then take
it. If he says do not take
it, then follow his advice. 1
