I THE MORNING OREG0XIAX, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1907. fear of conflict Hangs' over city ( Continued from First Page.) telegraphed the Navy Department at Washington last week requesting the Gov ernment to accept delivery of the cruiser i nits -present incomplete condition without requiring the contractors to fully complete her as stipulated. Secretary Mel calf has wired a compliance with this request, and the cruiser will be finished at the Mare Island Navy-yard. Through Willi Carmen's Union. That Mr. Calhoun no longer recognizes the local carmen's union and that his at titude is ultimate and will be strictly ad hered to was the statement made to the Associated Press today by his assistant. Thornwall Mullaly, reassertive of the signed statement given out yesterday by Wr. Calhoun in which he said: Bo far as I know, there is not a member mt the Carmen's Union now In the empiuy 9t a railroad In this city. It Is now a anion of x-employea and It no longer has any connection with the United Railways - Company. Asked whether the company would re ceive and confer with a committee of the strikers if it came as a representative of the men, Mr. Mullaly said: Pleads Breach of Faith. Yrs, but no committee representing the local union will be recoRiiixed. Hleas understand that the United Railroads has no nuarrel with unionism as a principle, nor is It opposed to organized labor as a body. It has simply done with the local Carmen" 1'nion. That union has twice broken faith with the company and has seized many op portunities to annoy and harass the com pany prior to presenting the unreasonable and Impossible demand formulated within two months after the acceptance by the Vnlted Railroads of an award by the com mittee by which the men are granted an Increase of Z!0 per c-?nt In wages. Now tha company is done with this union for all time. Of this attitude the union leader had full warning given by Mr. Calhoun some time ago. Mr. Mtillally was asked to affirm ox deny the truth of the statement that James G. Farley, the famous strike breaker. Is in the city and that he will superintend an attempt tomorrow morn , lug to put cars in operation. He replied: Will Operate Cars Today. That question I must decline to discuss at this time. Possibly Mr. Calhoun will have something to say about it in a state ment to be given out by him. I will say this much: The company proposes to do It duty to the people, by operating its system. 1 can't possibly say that cars will be operated to morrow, neither am I in a position to deny that Turk -street barns are being fitted up for the housing and feeding of the men who will presently operate the system. De spite the fact that our entire platform force of 1700 men -has struck, any of these men who report for work at 7 o'clock to morrow morning will be taken back at the present scale that fixed by the arbitration board. AH who do not return at that hour will be discharged. No Policemen on Cars. Mafyor Schniitz made the t following statement: - - ' . I I have Issued orders to Chief of Police - Dlnan that order shall be maintained at any cost; that Interference with the opera lion of cars when the company attempts to resume running them shall not be Iter ated." and that persons carrying arms shall ' be arrested without respect to which side In the controversy they belong. I will not 'permit policemen to act as motormen or conductors or to ride on the cars as guards. My observation has taught me that the ap pearance of police on cars at such time as this tends to excite violence. The public either walks or is hauled about In all manner of nondescript ve hicles at 25 cents. Liverymen say that an offer of $25 a day could not enable them to produre for hire a rig or a saddle horse. Chauffeurs are reaping a golden harvest at the rate of $5 an hour. Invites Strikers to Keturn. Mr. Calhound tonight issued a state ment in which he said: The United Railways hopes that all of Its former employes will report tomorrow morning. It recognizes that, under the di rection oT the Carmen's Union, It will re quire some courape for its members to return to work. Those who do not report by b o'clock will be, as stated In the no tice published yesterday and posted in the carbarns, formally discharged from the service of the company. The officials of the company have only the kindnest feelings for Its employes, and will cordially welcome their return. The matter In controversy involved no union principle, whatever, but was a mere ques tion of business adjustment based on what was fair and equitable... The members of the union had a perfect right not to work for the company, and the company has a perfect right, of course, to employ whom soever it nleases. The company hopes that the operation of its cars Will not be Interfered with. The company will se-k to avoid strife, and the rapidity with which full service is resumed will depend on the degree of protection af forded by the city and state. Mr. Calhoun quotes a telegram received from President Thftlmann, of the United Railways Investment Company, In New York (the holding company), in which Mr. Thalmann expresses amazement at the strike, after the concessions granted the men, concurs entirely in the stand of the company, and says he is absolutely op posed to any further concessions. Cornelius Bitter Hetort. The. following statement was handed out by President Cornelius, of the Car men's Union, tonight: If there was anydoubt in the minds of the people of San FTnclsco as to where the re sponsibility of the present tleup of the streetcar traffic should be, we are confident that the latest inflammatory utterances of Mr. Patrick Calhoun have set the doubt at rest. The public can now see what kind of a man Mr. Patrick Calhoun Is and what opinion he has of them and us. He tells the world today that he Is the victim of a conspiracy. We don't know what Mr. Patrick Calhoun's enemies are do ing and we don't care. We are not his enemies, we never were and we don't want to be. He seems to think that the man who will not convent to be his slave must be his enemy. We offered and still offer our labor tor a fair price. If he wants It, he has only to say the word and we will give him In the future, as we have given him In the past, far more loyal and efficient service than the horse-racing, petticoat-hunting young Napoleons of finance with whom he has saddled this unfortunate community. We are not parties to any conspiracy, and that we are not Mr. Calhoun is the best evi dence. The reason why he says we are con tpirators Is that we struck at this time. What made us strike at this time? If Mr. Calhoun had wanted It, the decision of tht board of arbitration could have been made lo run for 1- month or two years longer, but Mr. Calhoun did not wait It so. Ke wanted a new bargain and a new contract at this very time, and he has no right to shout conspiracy now, when we are trying to get the best terms we can. The trouble with Mr. Calhoun and those with him is that they consider you and us as the dirt under their Icet. Will Kn force LOS ANGELES. J. X. Gillett. who Law and Order. Cal., May 6.

KXAPP AXD XEILIi MEDIATE Commissioners Hear Both Sides on Rio Grande Dispute. DENVER, May 6. Marvin F. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and Charles P. Neill, United States Labor Commissioner, who arrived in Denver last evening, had conferences today with representatives of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad and of the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen and Order of Railway Conductor wtth a view to ad Justing the differences between the com pany and the two organizations on the question of wages. J fvi- A. C. Ridgway, general'-manager of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, was first heard in private by the commission. When Mr. Ridgway retired from the commissioners room the full committee of the two brotherhoods, consisting of 22 men, was received in audience. "V. T. Newman, of Denver, third vice grand master of the trainmen, and I. E. Shep ard, of Cedar Rapids, assistant chief con ductor of the Order of Railway Conduc tors, acted as spokesmen for the men. They claimed that the fact that the present schedule of the Rio Grande is higher than most roads of the Chicago settlement did not enter into the contro versy, as the conditions of the service are vastly different in the West, the trains gradually becoming larger, the hours on the trains always increasing, and the perils of mountain railroading at all times demanding greatly increased compensation over the valley roads. MOKE LONGSHOREMEN' STRIKE Big Trans-Atlantic Liners Tied Vp in New York. NEW YORK, May 6. The strike of longshoremen took an extremely serious turn today, when 4000 to 5000 men em ployed by five large trans-Atlantic lines joined the movement. Those who went out today were employed by the North German Lloyd, Scandinavian-American, Hamburg-American, Holland-American and Phoenix lines. 1'p to today 3000 men were already. on strike from the Ameri can and Red Star lines and from the vari ous docks in Brooklyn. There have been no serious disorders. The movement Is uniformly in support of a demand for an increase In wages to 40 cents an hour, with 60 cents for over time and 80 cents for holiday work. This is an increase of 33 1-3 per cent. Threaten to Kill Judge. GOLD FIELD, Nev., May 6. The coun ty seat of Esmeralda County today is located at Goldrleld. and all the court officials and county officers have ar rived and established their quarters in the temporary Courthouse. The cases against Preston and Smith, the labor ngitators and leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World, accused of the murder of John Silva, a restaurant keeper, who made himself obnoxious to that ord.r, and also the cases against Vincent St. John and others of com plicity in the same crime, which were in progress at Hawthorne, were called today, but court was adjourned until tomorrow morning, as the furniture was not in place in the courtroom. Judge Langan, the presiding Judge, todny found an anonymous letter in his mail, dated Goldfield. threatening death to himself and others concerned in the trial . the slayers of Silva. Including two of"the witnesses, if the accused men are convicted. Strike in Sugar Trust Plant. KEW YORK, May 6.

COUNSEL I.N CLASH (Continued from First Page.) times, but he does not know what wit nesses may come here and testify. He is entitled to know the overt act charged against him.- The indictment gave the prisoner absolutely no information as to the nature of the charge against htm." Mr. Richardson concluded at 11:2S o'clock. Wants to See State's Hand. Senator Borah, who. began at once for the state, said that the defense was not seeking a partlcularization of the indict ment, but possession cf the evidence by which the state hoped to prove its case. He then explained that the charge that Haywood was at Caldwell when the mur der was committed was necessary, under the Idaho statutes. He drew attention to the fact that the indictment had pre viously been attacked in the usual meth od, and said it had been upheld. He said that there was no provision in the Idaho statutes for granting bills of particulars. Senator Borah said that the indictments as to murder was surely specific enough to show the prisoner the exact nature of the charge he must meet. The demand for particulars as to the conspiracy was a demand for the evidence. Mr Borah declared that the indictment could not more completely show -the prisoner the charge ne must meet. It clearly showed the circumstances and date of the crime, furnishing all the facts necessary to an indictment. "Were there any circumstances." he asked, "under which the state could be required to produce its proof and evi dence at this time?" Mr. Borah concluded his argument opposing the motion shortly after 13 o'clock. He declared the defendants were asking for the evidence In the case and not for a specification of the charge as contemplated in criminal procedure. Mr. Borah further said that neither the statutes of Idaho nor the decisions of the courts anywhere provided that the de fendants in a case of this character were entitled to the details of the evidence against them. Ask for Fairness, Says Darrow. Clarence Darrow followed Mr. Borah with the closing argument in support of the motion. He said that about all there was to the provision was. that, if the court thought it was fair to have the bill of particulars, it could grant it. It was all within the discretion of the court, anct if the court declined the motion the Su preme Court of the United States could not reverse its ruling. The fact that there was no statute on the subject in Idaho did not affect the matter of the power of the court. It was purely a question of fairness and justice to the defendant "Mr. Borah says we do not want a bet ter pleading but that we are after the evidence," said Mr. Darrow. "We are. Why not? WThy are we not entitled to know what the evidence will show, so that we may prepare to meet It?" Mr. Darrow pointed out that there had been no disclosure of evidence at a pre liminary hearing and that the state had carefully concealed its case. He said that the prosecutors were not trappers seek ing victims, this was a civilized commu nity and the prisoners were entitled to fair treatment. He declared that the Or chard confession should be placed before the counsel. He passionately declared that it was unjust to bring these prison ers 1000 miles from home and not give them a fair chance to openly meet the case. The case of the state was a mys tery -that unfairly handicapped the ac cused. He asked that the particulars be given and said the defendants were en titled to adjournment if necessary in or der that their rights might be protected. Witnesses Have Disappeared. At the conclusion of Mr. Darrow's ar gument he stated that the subpenas for the state had been issued in blank, and it had been impossible for the defense to secure the names of witnesses. To this Mr. Borah replied that it was true the subpenas had been Issued in blank be- IN COURTHOUSE YARD AT IN FAMOUS TRIAL cause, had the prosecution revealed the names of its witnesses, it would not have been able to get them to the courthouse. Mr. Borah said that within the last 24 hours two -of its most important wit nesses from Colorado had disappeared en tirely and another refused to come to Idaho to testify. Mr. Darrow said that counsel for the defense had only the newspapers for a source of Information, li was as much the duty qf the counsel for the prose cution to protect the prisoners as the court and counsel for the defense. Judge Wood Does the court under stand that the defense is not ready to proceed to trial? Mr, Darrow No, we are not ready to go to trial. We are working in the dark. Defense Expects Surprise. Mr. Richardson We are as ready as we will ever be under the circum stances. In a general legal sense we are ready. Mr, Borah Why, do you expect a surprise? Mr. Darrow From the reports in the newspapers and common rumor, Mr. Borah What am I to understand that you desire in & bill of particulars? Mr. Richardson declared that Mr. Borah made no distinction between the overt acts concerning which the pris oner sought information and evidence dealing with these overt acts. He said he had interrupted his associate be cause he thought he was not answer ing ,the question. The court asked for Information as to the dates of the original plea, appeal and other steps In the case as showing the time that the defense might have made the motion for the bill of particulars. Mr. Richardson and Mr. Darrow irew attention to the change of venue and postponement and said this was really the first opportunity til at had presented itself. Mr. Darrow, resuWng his argument, drew attention to the secrecy concerning the subpenalng -of witnesses by the state. He disclaimed any fear of unfair ness at the triai by owt' and counsel, but said he and his associates wanted to do all In their power for their cJIents. They were in the dark and the granting of this motion would be only fair.- It would take them out of the dark.' v. Not Thirsting For Blood. Mr. Borah, responding to the reference to the secrecy about summoning witness es and the charges of unfairness, said that only within the last 24 hours the State had lost two important witnesses In Colorado. If the names of the wit nesses were revealed, the State would lose them. He said if he knew his own heart, he was not going to be unfair to the defendants he was not thirsting for nor wanted any man's blood, but there was a duty to be performed by the state and it was going to be performed. There was probably no way to answer the charge of unfairness by the defense, but he could say what he had in reply. Mr. Darrow said that if the remarks of Mr. Borah carried any insinuation as to the defense and the state"s witnesses, he would say the defense was having the same difficulty about securing the attend ance of witnesses. AIMED AT THE CHRISTIANS Hindoo Rioters Direct Fury at Mis sion Buildings. ' LAHORE, British India, May 6.
