Merchant Fleet Paralyzed by Naval
Reserve Men's Action Torpedo
Boats Forced to Carry Mail
on the Mediterranean.
PARIS, May 31. A general strike of
tailors and others belonging to the
French naval reserve began at almost all
tlie ports of France at daylight today and
threatens the complete paralysis of
French commerce. The navigation com
mittees are making energetic representa
tions to the government, saying that the
movement is ' not directed against them
and that unless It is settled Immediately
It will cause untold Injury to French
commerce.
The naval reserves comprise nearly the
entire maritime population engaged in
sea-faring life and number 117,000 men,
of whom 25,000 are serving in the navy.
In addition to practically all the seamen
of the mercantile trade, most of the
longshoremen belong .to the naval re
serve. Pensions Are Too Small.
The strike was declared by the execu
tive committee of the National Seamen's
Union because the government's new bill
Increasing pensions from $40.80 to J72.50
in the case of seamen, and from $lr6 to
In the case of captains Is regarded
an Inadequate.
The tleup is almost complete at the
Mediterranean, Atlantic and Channel
ports. The strikers generally left their
ships and the government commanded
the torpedo boats and torpedo boat de
stroyers to carry on the mall service
with the colonies and with Mediterranean
ports. The French Trans-Atlantic
Steamship Company announced today
that neither La Provence nor La Gas
cogne will be able to sail for New York
tomorrow, both crews having abandoned
their ships. Similar conditions prevail at
Bordeaux.
Compromise Is Likely.
Officials of the French line have re
quested the government to land them
crews from the state naval depots, but
no reply ha yet been received. Le
gally all the companies are In a po
sition to coerce the men, as, being
members of the naval reserve, the
crews are subject to heavy penalties
for Insubordination, but it is regarded
as more likely that they will try to
effect a compromise.
At Marseilles the sailors and long
shoremen struck almost to a man, and
all the fishermen drew up their nets.
The strike is as complete at Havre,
but up to this evening the men had
not struck at Brest. At Toulon the
strike is complete: at Dunkirk and
Nantes the men are going out, and at
Kouen the longshoremen have aban
doned their work. .
The men are well behaved, and as
an Instance of the sentiments back bf
the strike there is the fact that har
bor watches have been provided by
the strikers for all ships in port.
Mob Outbreak at Algiers.
ALGIERS, May 31. Tonight the
president of the Dockers' Union was
arrested on the charge of promoting
disorder. A mob surrounded tlie po
lice station, where he was taken, and
demanded his release. Seamen, dock
ers and coalers are 'on strike here.
Boy Shows Great Pluck.
VIENNA. May 31. A 14-year-old boy
here has astonished the prominent sur
geon. Baron von Kisleberg, by the re
markable grit he displayed in undergoing
an operation. The boy's arm had to be
amputated. He refused to take an anes
thetic because he wanted to watch- the
operation. The boy did not wince and
made no sound throughout, but watched
the surgeon's work with keen attention.
He said afterward that the sifiht was well
worth the pain. Dr. von Eisleberg rec
ognized his pluck by giving him a watch.
LAWYER DEFIES JUDGE
(Continued from First Page-) "
Chief engineer of the Union Iron Works,
by the defense. Richard Curtis, who1 had
been accepted and sworn earlier in the
day, was excused at his own request. He
is an aged man, and feared his health
would break down during tlje trial.
Charles Capp satisfied both sides in his
examination and was sworn.
When court was adjourned the Jury
stood in numbers Just where it was at
the commencement of the day eight men
in the box. four more to get. The trial
will be resumed on Monday morning.
Schmitz will be arraigned tomorrow on
the 28 indictments charging him with
bribing 14 Supervisors in connection with

District Attorney Lansdon will lay be

veniremen called for the completion of
the Schmitz Jury. Mr.' Langdon will
cnarge the chief with misconduct in of
fice and will recommend that steps be
taken under the penal code for his re
moval from office by a suit In the Su

Venire Whittled Down.
Of the new venire of 75 men, IS were
present for examination when court con
vened. 36 were excused, one was excused
temporarily. 12 were absent and six were
not subpenaed.
Among those examined J. P. Frazer, a
contracting painter, thought he could put
aside his opinion and do his duty, but
kegged to be excused as he had urgent
contracts on hand. He was excused by
mutual consent.
B. Ji Barry, a saloonkeeper, said he had
read considerable about the case, knew
slightly some people who knew Schmitz
intimately and hardly thought he could
do Justice. He was excused by consent.
Heney and Barrets Spar.
Opposing cousel became involved in a
serious dispute during the cross-examination
of Richard Curtis, conducted by
J. J. Barrett. The Juror said that he
had read a statement in the morning's
paper signed by Mr. Heney, in which the
latter severely arraigned the rich people
of San Francisco as having banded to
gether in a plot to defeat prosecution of
high corporation officials who had been
indicted by public officials. Mr. Campbell
asked:
"If you should get the Idea from pub
lished statements by members of the
prosecution that these publications were
ali part of a scheme to influence the
jury and force a conviction of this de
fendant, would "
At this point Mr. Heney rose and began
a vigorous objection to the question. He
said that Mr. Barrett was trying to force
false Issues Into the examination.
"Not at all." retorted Mr. Barrett, inter
rupting and shaking his finger at Mr.
Heney. "I am merely endeavoring to ex
pose and denounce a studied plot on the
part of the prosecution to intimidate
veniremen and by this means secure a
packed jury. '
Barrett Defies Court.
Mr. Heney started to make a disclaimer,
but was stopped by JudKe Dunne, who
ordered Mr. Barrett to take his seat.
"I shall not take my seat," replied Mr.
Barrett, "until I have reserved an excep
tion to "
"Mr. Barrett, take your seat; I tell you
to take your seat," Repeated Judge. Dunne
with emphasis. ,
Mr. Barrett, nevertheless, kept his feet
while Judge Dunne requested Mr. Camp
bell to take charge of the examination.
Mr. Campbell said:
"I am compelled to disobey your honor's
instructions. My client directs- that Mr.
Barrett continue the examination."
"Very well," said Judge Dunne.
Mr. Heney was about to pass the juror,
and it looked as though the storm was
over. But when he asked Mr. Curtis:
"You would not, would you, permit the
assertions and the accusations of counsel
for the defendant that members of the
prosecution had made newspaper state
mentswhich in reality they did not
make to affect your mind in the trial of
this case?"
Mr. Campbell objected.
Too Many Speeches by Heney.
"I think." said Judge Dunne, "that Mr.
Heney makes more speeches than he
ought to. but I think also that they are
provoked' out of him by counsel for the
defense." To this remark Mr. Barrett
started an objection, when Judge Dunne
cut him short.
"I have asked Mr. Campbell." he said,
"to conduct this case for the defense be
cause he sems to be the only one of you
who can participate without being of
fensive." "Then I protest." said Mr. Fairall.
"You can't direct this case for the de
fendant. You can't say who shall and
who shall not appear for him."
"That Is exactly what the court pro
poses to do, Mr. Fairall," replied Judge
Dunne.
"Then I protest against any such in
dignity," retorted Mr. Fairall. Judge
Dunne Intimated that he would hold
a session during the absence of the
jury at which opposing counsel might
thresh out the differences which had
given to this stormy scene. Mr. Cur-t-j
was finally accepted.
Wordell Walkup, who before the fire
was a money-lender, was accepted as
to qualifications by both sides. Daniel
F. Crowell, journeyman plumber,
thought it was a political prosecution.
He was excused on challenge by the
prosecution.
Schmitz Tries to Talk.
Mayor Schmitz arose from his seat
at the counsel table and attempted to
address the court.
"I will hear from you through your
attorney," said Judge Dunne, and re
peated the rebuke, as Schmitz con
tinued to stand. The Mayor then re
sumed his seat. v
At the afternoon session, after sev
eral talesmen had been relieved.
James R. E. Benson, formerly a press
man, working of late as a structural
Ironworker, was finally accepted and
sworn as the tenth juror.

is that a great many ot our people, them
selves the sons of men who worked wltjj
their hands, seem to think that they rise in
th world If they get into a position where
tht-y do no bard manual work whatever; ,
where their hands will grow soft, and their
working clothes will be kept clean. Such
a conception is both false and mischievous.
The bulk of the people should do work
which makes demands upon both, ths bod
and the mind. Progress cannot permanent
ly consist In the abandonment of physical
labor, but In the development of physical ,
labqr so that It shall represent' more ana
more the work ot the trained mind in the ;
trained body. Workingrmen should get ove
the idea that to earn $13 a week and call
it "salary" Is better than to earn $25 a
week and call it "wages."
Farmers Mainstay of Nation
He declared the problem of furnish
ing well-trained craftsmen not simple,
and was glad societies had been formed
to promote Industrial education Includ-,
Ing men of all conditions.
He pronounced the welfare of the
farmers as vital to that of the whole
country as that of the wage-workers.
The permanent greatness of any etate
must ultimately depend upon the char
acter of its country population. In
the last half century In the East
there had been a falling off in the rel
ative condition of the farmers, but
there were signs that the Nation had
waked up to the danger. There had
been a centralization of population in
the cities. Social or community life
In the country had deteriorated. - The
country church had gone backward.
It was quite as unfortunate to have
any social as any economic falling off.
He said: "Ambitious native-born
young men and women-who now tend
away from the farm must be brought
back to it, and therefore they must
have social as well as economic, op
portunities." He recommended the encouragement
of libraries, assembly halls, highest
types of school buildings and teachers,
revival of the country church, , rural
free delivery, telephones, good roads.
This was true of large areas, but we
should try to make the condition uni
versal. - He commended the growth of agri
cultural science and deprecated impa
tience for results. He praised the
work of the Agricultural Department,
but said it had been directed almost
exclusively toward production of
wealth from the soil. He continued:
Social Needs of Farmers.
Hereafter another great task must be to
foster agriculture for its social results, or. In
other words, to assist in bringing about the
best kind of life on the farm for the sake
of producing the best kind of men.
How can the life of the farm family be
made less solitary, fuller of opportunity,
freer from drudgery, more comfortable,
happier, and more attractive? Such a result
Is most earnestly to be desired. How -an
life on the farm be kept on the highest
level, and where It Is not already on that
level, be so improved, dignified, and bright
ened as to awaken and keep alive the pride
and loyalty of the farmer's boys and girls,
of the farmer's wife, and of the farmer
himself? How can a competing desire to
live on the farm be aroused in the children
that are born on the farm-?
The drift toward the city is largely de
termined by the superior social opportuni
ties to be enjoyed there. We hope ultimately
to double the average yield of wheat and
corn npr acre: it will be a great achieve
ment ; but it Is even more important to
double the desirability, comfort, and stand
lne of the farmer's life.
We must consider, then, not merely how
to produce, but also how production affects
the producer.
Co-operation Among Farmers.
Farmers must learn the vital need of co
operation with one another. Next to this
comes co-operation with the Government
and the Government can best give its aid
through associations of farmers rather than
through the individual farmer.
He illustrated the good results of
the fight with the boll weevil in the
South in stimulating social inter
course and study of scientific farm
ing. He said:
The pople of our farming regions must
be able to combine among themselves, as the
most efficient means of protecting their in
dustry from the highly organised interests
which now surround them on every side. A
vast field is open for work by co-operative
associations of farmers In dealing with the
relation of the farm to transportation and
to the distribution and manufacture of raw
then praise the work of rgricul
turaJ colleges in training farmers and
giving technical instruction. He con
tinued: Functions of Education.
The education to be obtained in these col
leges should create as intimate relationship
as is possible between the theory of learn
ing and the facts of actual life. Education
should not confine Itself to books. It must
train executive power, and try to create
that right public opinion which Is the most
potent factor in the proper solution of all
political and social questions. Book-learning
is very important, but it is by no means
everything: and we shall never get the right
Idea of education until we definitely under
stand that a man. may be well trained In
book-learning and yet, in the proper sense
of the word, and for all practical purposes,
be utterly uneducated; while a man of com
paratively little book-learning may, never-
thless, in essentials, have a good education.
All Over the country there U a constant
complaint of paucity of farm labor. With
out attempting to go lntp all the features of
this question I would like to point out that
you never can get the right kind, the best
kind of labor if you offer employment only
for a few months, for no man worth any
thing will permanently accept a system
which leaves him in Idleness for half the
year.
- Don't Make Your Wife a Drudge.
The President then said a good word
for the farmer's wife, whom he de
clared' "too often the very hardest
worked laborer on the farm." He
added on this topic:
I emphatically believe, that for the great
majority of women the really Indispensable
industry In which they should engage Is the
industry of the home- Exactly as the first
duty of the normal man Is the duty of being
the home maker, so the first duty of the
normal woman Is to be the borne keeper.
But this does not mean that she should be
an overworked drudge. If the man Is
worth his salt he will try to take as much
as possible of the burden off of the shoul
ders of his he Inmate.
Best Crop la Children. '
The best crop is the crop of children; the
best products of the farm are the men and
women raised thereon; and the most In
structive and practical treatises on farming,
necessary though they be, are no more
necessary than the books which teach us
our duty to our neighbor, and above all 4o
the neighbor who is of our own household
He recommended agricultural col
lege students to read "Mrs. Wiggs,"
Octave Thanet's stories and the first
chapter of "Aunt Jane of Kentucky"
for families where men folks are
thoughtless and selfish towards women
folks. He added:
Do not misunderstand me. I have not the
slightest sympathy with those hysterical and
foolish creatures who wish women to attain
to easy Uvea by shirking their duties. I have
as hearty a contempt for the woman who
shirks her duty of bearing and rearing the
children, of doing her full housewife's work,
as I have for the man who Is an Idler,
who shirks his duty of earning a living for
himself and for bis household, or who la
selfish or brutal toward his wife -and chil
dren. Addresses were also made by Sec
retary Wilson President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, of the University of Califor
nia; President James B. Angell, of
the University of Michigan, and Dean
D. H. White, of the University of
Georgia. An address by President E.

was unable to be present, was read-by

MEETS OLD DAKOTA FRIEND
President Remembers Man Who
. Shared Bunk With Him.
HILLSDALE, Mich., May 81. Presi
dent Roosevelt and his party reached
Hillsdale on their homeward Journey
shortly before 7 o'clock tonight. A
brief stop of 15 minutes was made,
when the party resumed its trip to
Washington, the President, however,
making a speech to 10,00 people.
The travelers are scheduled to ar
rive at. Auburn Junction, Iud., about 9
o'clock, when the President's .car will
be transferred from the tracks of the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Rail
way to those of the Baltimore & Ohio,
by which line the rest of the run to
Washington will be made. -
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of
toe University of California, joined the
party at Lansing, and will continue to
Pittsburg. The train was run slow
ly and stops were made at every town,
which kept the President constantly
appearing on the platform.
The most interesting Incident of the run
to Hillsdale occurred at Springport. Here
Robert McClellan, with whom the Presi
dent had shared the former's bunk In a
ranch-house fn the Dakotas back in the
'80s, was presented to him. Mr. McClel
lan. now advanced in years, was lifted by
his fellow townsmen so that he could
readily grasp the President's hand. Mr.
Roosevelt recognized McClellan immedi
ately and told him, how glad he was to see
him again. Then he hurriedly referred to
some of the men' who had been on the
ranch with themmentioning Texas Bill
and others.
"I was out at Medora several years
ago," said the President, "and saw the
whole outfit and all the boys have grown
up. Good bye and good luck to you."
The President bunked with McClellan
one night while rounding up lost horses
on the Dakotas. Mr. Roosevelt had well
nigh given up -any prospect of shelter for
the night and looked forward to spend
ing It In the open, when he came across
McCIellan's hut and at the latter's Invi
tation spent the night with him.
