YORK CAR RIOTS
Democratic Leaders Behind
Crusade Against Tran
sit Company.
REJOICE OVER THE RESULTS
Common People Kicked and Beaten
Jn the Interest of Various Polit
ical Booms Judge Gay.
nor's Queer Decision.
' NEW YORK. Aug. 20. (Special.)
week of rioting has followed the efforts
of certain politicians to gain the good will
of the "common people" by Inducing
them to believe that the fare to Coney
Island is only 5 cents.
The politicians are happy, but It has
been mighty tough on the Brooklyn Rap
id Transit Company and the grateful
'common peopie." The corporations have
lost large sums of money, while the ple
beian Individuals have been kicked and
beaten until they are beginning to get
tired of it.
Hostilities have suspended by the
company's agreeing to give a rebate re
ceipt to every person paying a 10-cent
fare. 5 cents to be returned to the holder
if the Court of Appeals upholds the de
cision of Justice Gaynor that 5 cents Is
the legal fare to Coney Island. If the
court should decide that the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company Is acting within
Its rights in charging double fare, how
ever, the 'receipt is to be null and void.
Court of Appeals' Ruling.
The Court of Appeals, the highest legal
' tribunal in the state, decided some time
ago that the swert-car company' could
charge 10 cents If It desired, because the
Coney Island trolley lines were created
by the amalgamation of various former
steam roads, which were permitted under
the law to charge 3 cents a mile. And it
is betVeen eight and ten miles from the
Brooklyn bridge to Coney Island.
There was no trouble until the other
day, when a man was arrested for re
fusing to pay his second nickel on a
trolley car. He got out a writ of habeas
corpus and when brought before Supreme
Court Justice Qaynor, was discharged, the
luBtice announcing at the time that the
company had no right to arrest anybody,
and besides was not entitled to more
than one nickel anyway.
This was the signal for great munici
pal excitement, and the "common peo
ple" were editorially urged to go to Coney
Island in droves and not to pay more
than S cents for the round trip.
Those who tried were enthusiastically
kicked off at various points along the
- line, and the damage suit market is look
ing up. With Mayor McClellan and Po
lice Commissioner Bingham out of town,
the city officials! have been much at tea
and have been bitterly scored by every
body concerned.
Nobody doubts that Judge Gaynor was
honest in his decision which overruled the
Court of Appeals, but it certainly has
given impetus to his boom for the Demo
cratic Gubernatorial nomination and has
aroused the jealousy of aspiring poli
ticians. Bird Coler to the Front.
Bird S. Coler, President of the Borough
of Brooklyn, who was defeated for Gov
ernor by 8tW0 votes In 1902, when Benjamin
B. Odell, Jr., was re-elected, Is known
to have aspirations. Mr. Coler wa elect
ed to his present office as a Hearst man,
but Is no longer a follower of the news
paper publisher. He describes himself as
the "Independentest kind of Independent
Democrat," and privately believes he
could unite all factions of the party were
he made the etandard-bearer.
Since the present trouble commenced,
Mr. Coler has spent most of his time at
the "bouncing stations." He has been
thrown off several cars himself "for
principle's sake," although he was al
ways careful to announce before hand
who he was, and thereby escaped rough
treatment. He has also condoled with
varloue victims, told them It was a shame
and advised them to "be firm and con
tinue to demand your rlghtst" In one
case Mr. Coler was heard to give this
cheering advice to a gentleman who was
so weak that he had to be carried to
the waiting ambulance.
As borough president Mr. Cole has an
army of city employes at his command,
men In the highways, sewers and public
buildings departments, most of them
have been massed at the scenes of dis
order, and whenever they get a chance
they arrest somebody, preferably a mo
torman who stops his car while the
bouncers are busy. The charge In such
a case Is "blocking traffic."
Sherlfr Flaherty's Game.
The Interests of William Randolph
Hearst, outside of the publicity depart
ment, are carefully guarded by Michael
J. Flaherty, Sheriff of the County of
Kings. Mr. Flaherty was walking dele
gate for the Musicians' Union before no
became a power in politics, and is sup
posedly admirably fitted for the high po
sition he holds.
Sheriff Flaherty, like Mr. Coler. spends
all his time on the battlefield and speaks
words of hope to the wounded victims.
He declares that nobody should be com
pelled to pay more than a nickel for a
ten-mile ride and loudly laments the fact
that he has only a handful of deputies
and Is unable to preserve order.
Mr. Flaherty has already, called upon
Governor Hlggins to send as many mili
tiamen as he can spare to Brooklyn, so
that the former walking delegate of the
Musicians' Union can take command, but
the Governor has ignored Flaherty's
frantic cries, and has been editorially de
nounced In consequence.
The police have been out in force, but
the orders they have received have been
so contradictory that they hardly know
what to do. ,
One day they are instructed not to per
mit any violence on the part of rapid
transit employes, and to arrest every
man who they see commit an assault.
The next day they are Instructed to keep
quiet, while an hour later some other
kind of an order Is Issued.
McGowan Loses Temper.
Acting Mayor McGowan has lost his
temper and publicly declares that Coles
and Flaherty are "posing and Inciting
riots." Acting Police Commissioner
Rhlnelander Waldo is plainly very badly
rattled, the Brooklyn rapid transit rulers
are plainly very determined, while the
"common people" are plainly very In
dignant: also much hurt, mentally and
physically. .
Mayor McClellan and his administration
are scored because the police do not take
the side of the people, while Governor
Hlggins Is criticised because the militia
have not received their marching orders
In consequence the Independence
League leaders believe that the third
party vote in Brooklyn and New York
will be vastly Increased, all because of
the fact that a Supreme Court Justice
has overruled the dignified, learned and
august Court of Appeals.
PEACE MAY REIGN IN ZION
Vollva Offers Prayers for Dowie for
First Time Since Trouble Began.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. Further evidence
of peace negotiations between John Alex
ander Dowie and Wilbur Glenn Voliva
and his followers came out at two meet
ings held in Zlon City yesterday. It was
Dowie's day at the tabernacle, -but the
First Apostle failed to appear, although
it was announced from hour to hour that
he would soon be there. Deacon A. Er
rington represented Dowie and declared
that the deposed leader would give to
the publfc in a few days a statement of
his side of the controversy.
For the first time since the differences
arose between Dowie and Vollva, the gen
eral overseer prayed for Dowie and asked
the people to do the same. They were
asked to pray that Dowie be guided
aright in any step he was about to take.
According to the Inter Ocean, an agree
ment was reached yesterday which Dowie
will, for the remainder of his life retain
the title of "First Apostle" of the Chris
tian Catholic Church, while the temporal
affairs of the community will be In the
hands of Vollva and his supporters.
It was finally agreed that Dowie should
drop all attempts to dispute the ruling
of the Federal Court in the contest case
between himself and Voliva for the pos
session of the assets of Zion.. Dowie also

NEW YORK, Aug. 20. The Consul
General of Chile at New York today
gave out the following statement:
"Now that the proportions of the ca
tastrophe at Valparaiso are known, it Is
necessary to Inform the merchants In
this country that all the consulates of
Chile in the United States and posses
sions will continue, as customary, to
revise shipments destined for Valparai-,
so, giving the shippers authority to land
their merchandise at their own option
In Valparaiso or in any other port of
Chile.
"It is timely to mention that outside
of Valparaiso the other ports of the Re
public have not suffered by the earth
quake and will continue as usual dis
patching cargoes.
"We can assume that on account of
this disaster the Importation of foreign
goods will surely become mors active and
probably the custom house duties on
certain goods will be lowered."
Astronomers Foretold Quake.
LONDON, Aug. 2D. In a dispatch
from Santiago the correspondent of the
Daily Mail says:
"It Is a curious fact that the earth
quake of August IS was foretold by
astronomers, who based their predic
tions on the conjunction of Jupiter,
the earth and the moon."

Destroyed With Great
' Loss of Life. ' '
SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug.: 20. The situa
tion la becoming clearer. A relief com
mittee was organized here today, and the
street railroad service was resumed. - It
was feared that Santiago would be
plunged In darkness owing to lack of
coal to supply the gas works, but the of
ficials of the gas company say they have
a sufficient supply to last a week.
Carlos Edwards, one of the proprietors
eyes and the formation about the
eyes
of the Mercurlo, of .Valparaiso, has ar
rived here on horseback from that city.
He confirms the reports that the Almen
dral quarter and the principal avenue of
Valparaiso have been transformed into
heaps of ruins. When he left the city
the Inhabitants were , wandering about
looking for relatives and friends. The
majority of the Inhabitants, he says, have
sought refuge on the hills, In the parks
and along the seashore. The Adminis
tration building and the Victoria Theater
had disappeared even to their founda
tions. The Marine Arsenal was only
slightly damaged, but not any of the pri
vate residences were habitable.
Cannot let Count Dead.
In aplte of the desolation, perfect order
was maintained by the troops, which
were bivouacked an the Grand avenue
and Victoria Square. The military ambu
lances were gathering up the wounded
and the dead. When Mr. Edwards left
Valparaiso it was impossible to deter
mine the number of persons killed, but
according to his estimate, the number of
lives lost was small when the extent of
the catastrophe was taken into considera
tion. At one depot he saw 60 bodies. The
main hotel was standing, and all the
guests escaped Injury, but Mr. Edwards
regards Valparaiso as being uninhabitable
for the present. "
The squadron of cavalry forming the
Presidential escort was started from here
for Valparaiso with Instructions to requi
sition al! the cattle met with between
this place and Valparaiso, and to drive
the herds to the latter city In order to
prevent a famine.
A large number of people have sought
refuge on the various ships at anchor in
the Bay of Valparaiso. The report that
the naval school at Valparaiso has es
caped the disaster is confirmed. A num
ber of families have sought refuge in the
school building, where they are being
cared for by the naval authorities.
Medical supplies have been sent from
thla city to Valparaiso, and everything
possible is being done to assist the home
less people.
JLoss Is Hundreds of Millions.
No accurate estimate of the damage
done by the earthquake can yet be made,
but it is considered certain that it will
run into the hundreds of millions of dol
lars, and it Is feared that a commercial
crisis will follow the earthquake disaster.
It is believed that steps will be Immedi
ately taken to relieve the situation. Busi
ness Is being slowly resumed here and at
Valparaiso.
The Ministers of War and Interior,
with detachments of volunteers from the
army and Are departments, left here this
morning for the purpose of re-establishing
telegraphic communication with Val
paraiso. A train which left Santiago for
the north today arrived without any dif
ficulty at Calera. Contrary to the gen
eral belief the tunnels were not wrecked,
and It is hoped that the trains will be
running regularly tomorrow.
The government has advised the Prov
incial Governora to spend all money nec
essary to help the earthquake sufferers In
their districts. When the earthquake
first shook this city, the prisoners in the
penitentiary began singing hymns. . There
was no loss of life among them so far as
known, but at Valparaiso, the prison
walls fell and crushed 140 prisoners to
death.
Vina del Mar All Ruins.
A telephone message received here to
day from Vina del Mar announced that
the portion of that town between the
Royal Hotel and the Custora-House is not
seriously damaged, but that "the re.t of
Vina dej Mar Is almost totally de
stroyed. President Rlesco has received
dispatches from Lazarena. capital of the
Province of Coquimbo, saying that no
damage has been done In the north, but
that the majority of the houses In the
Ambaga district have collapsed, as did a
hill between Valparaiso and Vina del Mar,
destroying railroad communication be
tween those two places.
Despite the fact that the stores of pro
visions here are intact, a number of mer
chants have considerably increased the
price of provisions.
Many Other Towns Wrecked.
A great deal of damage has been done
at the mines In the Noglals and Calona
districts. A number of houses have fallen
at Talca, 60 persons were killed there and
160 were wounded at Mellpilla. It Is be
lieved that all the houses will have to be
pulled down, owing to the severe shaking
which they received from the earthquake,
and at Salvador and Santa Turnlno a
number of public buildings will have to
be razed. At Llaillal, 70 houses fell. A
number of small villages in the Terre
mote district were destroyed. At Terre
mote the populace tried to pillage busi
ness houses of Rose-Innls, which had re
mained standing, but the employes of
the firm successfully defended the place.
It was stated at the observatory today
that It Is not likely there will be any
repetition of the seismic disturbances In
the near future This has gone a great
way towards calming the public mind.

Quake Has Raised Coast.
Refugees from Valparaiso declare
that the seacoast has been lifted at
several places noticeably above its
previous level.
A relief committee has been organ
ized here. It will receive subscrip

DYNAMITE CHECKED FLAMES
Eruption of Wonin Ominous and
Damage Throughout Andes.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 20.-The free
use of dynamite, according to dispatches
received here, was very effective against
the progress of the fire at Valparaiso.
The firemen were thoroughly exhausted
when the flames were finally subdued.
Hundreds of people took refuge on the
ships In the harbor. It is stated that a
new danger Is threatened by the volcano
"VVonin, which has become very active.
There are indications from the reports
received that the arthquake caused
great damage throughout the .Andes re
gion. It Is probable that there was con
siderable loss of Ufa and destruction of
property at remote points, which have not
been heard from. All of Chile was ap
parently affected by the shocks as well as
numerous points in Argentina in the vi
cinity of the Andes.

HARTFORD, Conn.,. Aug. 20. Fire in

American Capitalists Who Were

HAVANA, Aug. 20. (Special.) Although
presenting the attitude they assumed last
week In publicly belittling the outbreaks
against the Palma administration, high
officials of the government In private con
versation admit that conditions are seri
ous. This is chiefly due to the fact that
Just who are mixed up in the plot to de
pose President Palma is not exactly
known, and secret service police seem to
be mystified. They are going about the
problem of arresting suspects in general,
and all persons who have been conspic
uous In the Liberal ranks are fair prey
for1 the officers.
Armed demonstrations in Havana Prov
ince have so far only indicated that tne
rural guards, on whose Integrity the ad
ministration has staked very much, are
honeycombed with rebellion: in fact it is
openly stated that of the 150 revolution
aries now operating in this province, 40
of them are deserters from the rural
guards.
In Pinar del Rio Province, the revolu
tionists are decidedly strong. It is now
estimated that fully 700 have taken the
field there, but so far they have content
ed themselves with looting arms and am
munition from loyalists, and but one
clash between them and the loyal troops
has taken place. In tnat It was a case
of one side being afraid and the other
badly scared. Volleys were exchanged at
long range, - but so far as Is known, no
damage resulted.
A force of 600 picked men under com
mand of General Rafael Montalbo, Secre
tary of Public Works, whose war record
Is of the best, left here on a special train
tonight for Pinar del Rio, whore they are
to take the field against the rebels.
There is a disposition in official circles
to blame Americans for the present trou
ble. In fact, it is openly asserted that
when the Liberal leader. General Gar
cia, was in the United States, some
months ago, he was promised financial
aid by the capitalists who are back of
the Isle of Pines settlement. These men
are decidedly wroth over the action of
President Palma In insisting that the Isle
is Cuban territory, and. It is openly as
serted, would go to any length to over
throw the present government.
Liberals, it is asserted, would permit
the Isle of Pines to become American ter
ritory, if for no other reason than that
capitalists interested there have signified
a desire to contribute liberally to their
cause.

night, charged with Inciting a revolu

HAVANA7 Aug. 20. Conservative esti

siderable discussion as to whether, in the
event of Cuba being unable to suppress
the insurrection, she should ask the
United States for assistance, or whether
the United States may not intervene un
der the terms of the Piatt amendment
without such a request being preferred.
In the meantime the government alleges
it Is entirely able to cope with the situa
tion, although the condition of unrest
may continue for several weeks.
President Palma has appointed General
Rafael Montalvo, Secretary of Publio
Works, to be in charge of all military
operations 'against the Insurgents. Pres

of the rural guard to 4000.
