( 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.

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.

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 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.

"Nemo" Self-Reducing Corset
Made Exactly Like the Accompanying Illustration
400,000 "Nemo" Self-Reducing Corsets Worn Last Year
This proves that a great armjj'inf women are already familiar with
the wonderful results of this corset." It stands to reason that hundreds
of thousands of woraeu would never keep on wearing this? corset if it
had not exactly satisfied their individual needs.
In the last statement we explained how the Nemo Self-Reducing Cor
set reduces the figure of the stout woman, how it is comfortable to wear
and economical tp buy, and how it gives health and style to the wearer.
About a year ago we added four new patented features :
The Improved Self-Reducing Strap, The Relief Strap, The
Graduated Front Steel, The Double Garter Attachment
each one adding, in its own particular way, to the perfect result ob
tained by the New Nemo Self-Reducing Corset.
This Corset greatly improves the figure of the stout woman, and the
change in the form is so apparent that her skirt has to be taken in over
the abdomen three or four inches, when wearing the corset the first time.
Dressmakers recommend it because it makes a satisfactory foundation
for a well-fitting gown.
The Patented Features of the "Nemo" Self-Reducing Corset
Alone can Accomplish Such Wonderful Results
The "Self-Reducing Relief Strap" reduces and supports the lower part of
the abdomen and snapes the accumulated flesh below the corset into
symmetrical lines. This strap is attached to the "Graduated Front Steel"
and held down by the "Double Garter Attachment." It produces a feeling
of grreat comfort and support, pivin the form a perfect mould.
Celebrated physicians recommend the Nemo Self -Reducing Corset for
women who are physically weak. It is considered a most effective substi
tute for abdominal bands, as It gives
