Governor's Firm Stand for Or
der Has Sobering Effect
on Trouble-Makers.
FIFTY CARS IN OPERATION
Tolice Give Aid to Boycott by Re
fusing ta Order Teamsters to Get
Off Track Company's Opera
tions Restrained by Dinan.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. Fifty
streetcars were operated today from 19
o'clock in the morning until 7 o'clock
in the evening over two of the 20 odd
lines composing the United Railroads
system. For the first time since the com
mencement of the strike last Sunday
cars were run today to the ferries, where
about 20.0(10 passengers arrived, many of
whom patronized the service.
There was very little disorder during
the day in comparison with the five days
preceding. Thousands of persons evident
ly regarded the published injunctions anTI
private warnings and remained indoors.
for the Sunday crowds were much smaller
than usual.
Unquestionably the firm stand taken
by Governor Gillett, when he announced
through the press that he would judge
the San Francisco situation by the acts
of the people and would not hesitate a
moment to call out the militia if rioting
should be continued, had a sobering el
feet on hundreds of trouble-makers whose
acts of violence made the history of the
past week a disgraceful and bloody oc
casion. Police Aid the Boycott.
Five hundred poiioe guarded the streets
through which the oO cars were run, but
they had little to do. Isolated instances
of misconduct on the part of Individual
policemen were noted, but on the whole
five-sevenths of the entire force of Lhe
department gave adequate protection to
the two lines that were in operation.
On Market street, between Third and
Fourth, a union teamster purposely
blocked a passenger-laden car and re
fused to move off. Two policemen were
appealed to, but they replied contemptu
ously and turned their backs, according
to eye-witnesses.
At the ferry building a policeman
busied himBelf with boycott work, re
questing passengers disembarking from
the ferries not to ride on the streetcars.
Newspaper men watched the policeman
and say that when questioned regarding
his conduct he ordered them to move on
and threatened them with arrest.
The company's programme for tomor
row is to start cars on three more lines
at 8 o'clock and continue the service until
7 P. M., if the police consent.
Operation of System Prevented.
An assistant to President Mullally says
he would throw open the entire system
at once If Chief Dinan would permit him
to do so. and that he would run , the
cars at night as well as day: that he
has the cars to run and the men.ut the
Chief compels him to "go slow."
The officials r of the United Railroads
call attention to Dinan's statement that
he is able to protect the company's cars
and its men. and cites in comparison
that only a ninth of the normal number
of cars are being run over only one
tenth of the system, and that service
stops by police orders at 5 o'clock in
the evening.
Governor Gillett spent a portion of the
day viewing the operation of the 50 cars.
In the forenoon he had a conference at
the ferry building with President Calhoun
of the United Railroads the nature 61
which was not disclosed.
FEAR CAIiM FORBODES IIL
President Calhoun Not at All Opti
mistic as to the Future.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. There is
very little change in the strike situation
in this city. Despite the fact that 50 cars
were operated today on two lines of the
United Railroads without disturbance or
molestation, and 10.000 people, according
to the figures of the company, availed
themselves of this partial service. Presi
dent Calhoun tonight was apparently far
from optimistic over the situation.
He frankly admitted that the carmen
had him 'guessing" as to their next move
and expressed himself as puzzled by the
apparent peace and the reports received
by him. which indicate seriou3 trouble
later. The sudden change from the fierce
rioting the first part of -the week to the
attitude of the crowds today, amounting
almost to indifference, seemed to impress
Mr. cainoun with the idea that some un
expected move was feeing contemplated.
Strikebreakers Are in Demand.
That the United Railroads is still far
short of the required number of men to
operate its system Is evident from the
fact that the company Is advertising in 70
different cities for conductors and motor
men. It is understood that there are now
between 500 and UOO strikebreakers in the
city, and 200 more are expectOed to arrive
in a day or two. t
Governor Gillett said tonight that he
had spent part of the day along the
routes traversed "by the cars and saw no
Indications of trouble or violentfe. and
that the developments of today did not
justify the calling out of troops. The
Governor expressed the opinion that the
police were not handling th'e situation as
they should, and said he informed Mayor
Schmlti that in hia opinion Chief Dinan
was not the proper man to head the po
lice force of this city, but as long aa
there was no interference with the run
ning of the cars he would not interfere
with the local authorities.
Chief Dinan a Handicap.
"Peace was maintained today and the
police did good work." said the Gover
nor. "I told Mayor Schmitz that he
was handicapped by Chief Dinan, but the
Mayor stood sponsor for him. and as
long as there is no violence and the po
lice can cope with the conditions, I shall
not interfere. However. I shall remain
in the city for several days to watch de
velopments." W. D. Mahon, president of the Inter
national streetcar men's organization, who
arrived last night, was too ill to leave
his bed today. He was in frequent con
ference with President Cornelius and Sec
retary Bowling during the afternoon. Mr.
Mahon said he was not prepared to make
any statement as yet us to what move
the carmen would make until he had
thoroughly familiarized himself with the
situation.
Labor Unions Plan Boycott.
It was learned tonight that the Labor
Council and the Building Trades Coun
cil, who claim that there are 96.000 union
men in the city, will this week inaugurate
a boycott against the United Railroads
similar to the boj-cott maintained by or
ganized labor in St. Louis against the
street Tailways of that . city "for six
months.
Many unions, it is said, have already
forbidden their members to ride on the
cars under genalty of heavy fines.
The telephone linemen, after a lengthy
meeting today, again deferred the taking
of a vote to declare a sympathetic strike
in support of the striking telephone oper
ators. Action was postponed until Tues
day.
S. J. McNulty. national president of the
International Brotherhood of Electrical
orkers. with which the telephone line
men are affiliated, was present at the
meeting. Mr. McNulty is also here in
connection with the carmen's strike which
may involve the linemen and electricians
of the United Railroads in a sympathetic
walkout.
The telephone service is still badly
crippled. There is no change in the
strikes of the laundry and ironworkers.
TURKEY FROWNS ON JAPAN
Jfot Willing to Grant Her the Same
Rights as Other World Powers.
CONSTANTINOPLE. May 12. The pour
parleurs. by which Japan is seeking to
establish diplomatic relations with Tur
key and the location of a Japanese am
bassador at Constantinople, have en
countered rather serious stumbling
blocks. Japan wishes to be treated on
the same footing as the great powers of
Europe with respect to the "capitula
tions" by which Turkey gives foreign
powers certain supervision over her in
ternal affairs, including schools, missions,
consular courts, etc. The porte is firmly
opposed to conceding these privileges to
Japan, as all the efforts of Turkey with
in recent years have aimed at the restric
tion and ultimate abolition of those priv
ileges to foreign powers.
The efforts of Japan to establish diplo
matic relations with Turkey date back
to the period preceding the Russo-Japanese
war, and were renewed later at dif
ferent intervals. In Novmber, last year,
a fresh attempt was made during the
presence in Constantinople of two Jap
anese staff officers, who were occupied
with a -tour of studies in Turkey, one of
whom subsequently proceeded to Bagdad.
It is stated in official circles that the
pour parleurs are still going on, although
reticence Is observed regarding the place
where the negotiations are being con
ducted. On the surface, there are no in
dications that many of the European
powers are actively opposing the estab
lishment of a Japanese embassy at Con
stantinople. There is no official opposi
tion at least, but it is by no means im
probable that certain powers would find
it in their interest to intrigue against the
project. It Is only necessary to recall the
-difficulties the American ambassador, Mr,
Leishman. had to overcome to secure rec
ognition of his elevated rank.
It is obvious that the presence of a
Japanese diplomatic representative would
naturally tend to strengthen the position
of the British ambassador in view of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. This probability
might account for the unfavorable atti
tude which has been hinted at on the part
of certain powers.
The Turkish government is disposed to
view very favorably Japan's desire to
open diplomatic relations with Turkey
except for Japan's pretensions to have
the same right as the great powers of
Europe. In Turkish. circles it is felt that
the object of Japan is not so much to
develop trading relations with Turkey
as political, having to do with Turkey's
position as neighbor to Russia. Another
reason which makes the sultan per
sonally inclined to welcome close rela
tions with the far Eastern empire is the
hope that Mohammedan missionary pro
paganda in that country may be en
couraged and developed.
PARIS. May 12. The announcement of
the approaching nomination of a Jap
anese ambassador to Constantinople, thus
strongly enforcing the diplomatic repre
sentation of Japan in Europe, is entirely
satisfactory to France, whose relations
with Japan are most friendly.

Ohio, was taken from the shattered
diner she was still living, but fright
fully injured. Her entire body haB
been srfowered with boiling water, and
when women friends removed her cor
sets the imprint of the stays was left
deep in the scalded flesh. .
Courage In Jaws of Death-
There were Vountiess deeds of cour
age and heroism displayed. A. E.
Hagerman, of Reading, refused the aid
of his brother nobles after they had
dragged him, fatally hurt, from the
wrecTc "I am dying," he said. "Go
help the women."
Sander Deabald, of Cleveland, worked
heroically, but unavaillngly, to save
the lives of two women pinned beneath
the diner. The flames had broken out
amid the wreckage, and were burning
all about the prostrate forms of the
women. Burrowing his way down into
the smouldering, splintered work, Dea
bald, with a hose which " he had
wrenched from a coach connection
spouted water from an adjacent tank
and extinguished the flames. Then he
reached down and after cutting away
the broken timbers that held her fast,
took Mrs. William "W. Esslck, of Read
ing. Pa., from the ruins. She was beg
ging plteously for relief when Deabald
reached her. As he lifted her from the
wreckage a stream of ..boiling water
poured over her, scalding her body ter
ribly. Women passengers sought to
remove her upper garments, but faint
ed when the flesh came off with the
clothing. She expired after a few min
utes, after being carried out on the
sands, and. Deabald was 'forced back
into the sleepers, unable -longer to en
dure the harrowing scenes on every
band.
Flesh Peels Off With Clothes.
"It was the most horrible Bight.
ever laid eyes on," he said. "Whenever
I touched her the print of the fingers
remained in the almost fluid flesh.'
Henry J. Fisher, of Cleveland, went,
under protest, with his wife and her
daughter. Miss Cora Young, and Mrs.
John W. Cutler, to the baggagecar. The
three women were killed and he es
caped almost unharmed from the wreck
of the baggage-coach. Today, wan
dering dazedly about the streets, Fish
er asked, mournfully: "How did
escape? Why should they die andtt:
live?"
A. D. Wasson, of Buffalo, was eat
ing at a corner table. He was within
six inches of the hot-water tank. When
the rescuers neared him he smiled en
couragingly. Dragged from under the
range of the scalding steam he mur
mured, "Thank God!" and died.
His wife and their 3-year-old baby
were with him on the train and escaped
Injury.
Charles M. Tyson, of Buffalo, N. T., is
ill at the Potter Hotel here, completely
unnerved by his experiences. He faced
death many times dragging from the
debrlB the bodies of friends. He finally
collapsed under the Btraln.
Relief Train Hurried In.
It was some time after the wreck had
occurred before word, of it reached the
outside world. As soon as one of the
uninjured trainmen could make his way
to the station, word of the wreck was
flashed to railroad headquarters here and
at San Luis Obispo. Immediately special
trains were arranged for and a corps of
physicians and nurses, gathered hurriedly
together, were quickly on their way to
the station. At 4 o'clock the relief spe
cial left this city. It made the run to
Honda station. 65 miles, in an- hour and
a half. Simultaneously another special
left San Luis Obispo, also equipped with
nurses and doctors.
Already - the work of rescue had been
nearly completed by those who had
escaped disaster unhurt. Twenty-five
bodies lay in rows on the sand beside
the track. The injured, many of them
unconscious and dying, were scattered
about the vicinity on piles of bedding
and plush seats brought from the Pull
mans. The more fortunate ones were
attempting to guard and succor the
sufferers. It was determined at once to
remove the Injured to San Luis Obispo
and bring the dead to this city. The
work was quickly accomplished.
Before the special bringing the injured
had reached San Luis Obispo five more
had succumbed to their terrible wounds.
Physicians and nurses worked over the
survivors Incessantly. Arriving its
destination the train was met by a score
of ambulances and automobiles, and the
injured were quickly carried to the two
local sanitariums. The dead were re
moved in undertakers' wagons to a
morgue.
Other Specials Flash By.
In the meantime the train returning to
this city with its load of dead was side
tracked at a lonely switch for the pass
age of other trains. Far out on the
sandy desert, miles from any habitation
or from any wire communication with
the outside world, the special waited for
two hours while train after train of
Shriners bound from Los Angeles to their
Eastern homes swept by.
In the darkness the occupants of these
trains did not know that they were pass
ing the funeral train of their brethren.
The train was reported due to arrive in
this city at 9 o'clock. At that hour everV
dead wagon, together with many other
vehicles, were assembled at the local
Southern Pacific station to transport the
bodies to' the morgues.
Three local undertaking parlors were
filled with bodies of the victims. The
work of identification had not yet been
completed. Many of the dead were so
badly burned and mutilated as to be
almost unrecognizable. The undertakers'
rooms were besieged by crowds of Shrin
ers who were still In the city. By day
light all of the dead had been identified.
When the relief train arrived at Sutton
on the way to the wreck Miss Maria
Fuller, 19 years old, of Los Angeles,
jumped aboard.
I want to go with you to the wreck,"
she said to Dr. Taylor, the Southern Pa
cific division surgeon, who had charge
of the train.
"You cannot go," Teplied the doctor.
Ten minutes later when the train was
clipping along at the rate of SO miles
an hour a wisp of dark brown hair blow
ing above the front car platform drew
the attention of Dr. Taylor and the con
ductor. A moment more an-1 they had

Water Car Averts Holocaust.
An eye-witness states that the loss of
life would have been much greater but
for the fact that a carload of water stood
upon a sidetrack within s fw feet of
the accident. The overturned cars im
mediately took Are. and but for the pres
ence of this water would hare burned
from end to end.
Loud praise is bestowed upon a flag
man's wife, whose house stood near the
scene of the disaster, for the noble work
she did in preparing and serving coffee
to the wounded. She made trips with
cans of coffee and other food.
William H. Doherty, a member of the
Board of Police Commissioners of Buf
falo and a prominent Shriner of Ishmaeli
Temple, gave a word picture of his ex
periences and the hardships attendant
as follows:
"I was in one of the rear coaches of
the train when the engine jumped the
track." he said, "and to this fact I tm-
doubtedly owe my life, for everyone killed
was either in the diner or the next coacn.
We were traveling along at a good rate
of speed, but not an excessive one, when
the crash came, and before anyone rea
lized what had happened the cars were
piled up and all were thrown violently
from their seats. Those of us who 'could
Ket clear of the wreckage ol seats and
windows rushed outside to help the un
fortunates who were under the forward
cars."
