Though Workmen Organize Force to
Keep Order, Means of Protec
tion Are Being Generally
Adopted by All.
STOCKHOLM. Aug. t With the street
car lines tied up thLs morning and all
cabdrivers refusing to work, the labor
difficulties here give promise of soon be
coming acute. The general strike called
for today has not yet become thoroughly
effective, though the ranks of the strikers
have been considerably augmented. Many
affiliated orpanisations. while sympathiz
ing with the strike movement, are still
withdrawing their active support, pre
ferring to let others take the lead In the
present crisis.
The strike la by no means general In
the provincial towns and industrial cen
ters of Sweden. In most places the
streetcars are running and the city em
ployes are at work as usual. No dis
:urbanee have been reported. The load
ing of ships at Gothenburg, where 10.000
un are on strike, is being done by
'j-oops.
Troops Incene Workmen.
The fact that the troops are protecting
the gas works and the electric light plant
has Incensed the workmen, whose lead
ers threaten to call out all the men un
less the fwldlers are withdrawn. The
Printers- Union this morning resolved to
postpone for the present any decision to
go on a strike.
A corps of workmen, some thousand
strong, are being organized with the ob
ject of maintaining order, and the peo
ple generally, bankers, merchants, etc..
are arming themselves for self-protection.
The gunpiiops of tlie city are practi
cally denuded of revolvers and small
arms. All tourists have left the city,
and the number of visitors now In the
city to smaller than at this season for
mary years.
Railroads Still Ran.
Although railroad men have decided
rot to strike, the government 1s taking
the precaution to guard the tracks with
troops. Quantities of dynamite are re
ported to have mysteriously disappeared
recently from the government stores.
The leaders of the strike claim that the
:nd of the week will see a notable spread
f the movement: that the railroad, pos
tal, telegraph arid telephone employee
and the printers will by that time have
joined the etrike.
All milk supplies have been cut off and
thousands of babies are suffering from
lack of nourishment. The streets of
Stockholm are filled with idlers, who
promenade back and forth chaffing the
volunteer street-cleaners, many of whom
belong to the better classes. All the
ferries have stopped running and there is
little communication between Stockholm
and the suburbs reached by water routes.
This fact will result in a further dim
inution of food supply.
For the present all is quiet, but trouble
Is expected when the stocks of food begin
to run down.
WRIGHT'S TIME IN DANGER

MOTORS NOT YET PERFECTED
When They Are, Says Curtlss, Aero
planes Will Soar Higher.
NEW YOKiv. Aug. 4. Glenn H. Cur
tis, the aeroplanist. declares that the
objection of military authorities to fly
ing machines on the theory that they
cannot ascend sufficiently high to be
out of range of guns, is without founda
tion. "There are only two things at present
which are retarding long-continued high
flights by aeroplanes." Curtiss said. "The
first thing is the nerve of the operator
and the second the fear that the motor
will suddenly stop or develop pther trou
bles that might make a quick descent
from a high elevation dangerous. As soon
as the motor trouble can be overcome,
the nerve of the operator will be found.
The aeroplane motor la still In Its ex
perimental stage. It Is not the fear of
meeting troublesome cross currents of air
In the high sections that retards high
flying. The trouble Is witn the motor.
It has been lightened and simplified to
the last degree possible by the elimina
tion of as many parts as possible from
the heavier and more reliable motor a
used In automobile, and yet It is expect
ed to show an equally high degree of ef
ficiency." WIND SPOILS TRY AT RECORD
Curtis Cheated of Chance to Break
Record by Weather.
MINEOLA. La-. Aug. 4. Glenn Curtis,
the Hammondsport, N. Y.. aviator, de
clined to attempt nights here today.
A slight wind at daybreak caused a
postponement until sunset, when condi
tions were still unfavorable.
The aviator was much disapolnted.
for he had desired to try for a world's
record before sailing tomorrow for Eu
rope to compete In aviation contests
at Rhelms.

Quiet. Reigns in Barcelona
After Bloodshed.
STILL FEAR FOR FUTURE
While Rerolt Seems to Be Temporar
ily Suppressed. N'o Guarantee
of Lasting Peace Is
Given.
BARCELONA. Aug. 4. The situation
In Barcelona today is tranquil. The only
evidences of the terrible nightmares
through which the city passed last week
are the ruins of the convents and
churches, and the torn-up pavements,
the stones of wlilch were used for the
erection of barricades.
There is. however, considerable appre
hension for the future. The terrible re
pressive measures of the military au
thorities have left a deep undercurrent
of resentment among the masses, and
it ta thought that the rebellion may
flare up again. The people are clamoring
for the release of the prisoners in the
dungeons of Fort Montjulch. The mush
room republics proclaimed In some of the
communes faded away as soon as the
soldiers made their appearance.
SPAIN BOASTS OF PEACE NOW
Government Issues Statement That
Revolt Is Entirely Suppressed.
MADRID, Aug. 4. The government to
day issued an official announcement say
ing the crisis In Spain was now at an
end, and the country was tranquil from
the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean.
The release of Senor Igleslas, editor of
Kl Progresso, and a certain relaxation
of the censorship are considered the best
evidence that the danger is past. The
Mlnlsten of the Interior says that not
only the reservists but volunteers are
flocking to the recruiting stations for
service in Morocco.
SPAIN TRIES NAVAL BLOCKADE

services to the King as simple soldiers
in Morocco.
N'o Cruelty at Barcelona?
MADRID. Aug. 4. Senor Sojortega, a
Republican Senator, has arrived here from
Barcelona He denies that the recent
movement there was Separatist, and says
the revolutionists during the two days
they were masters of the city did no
commit a single assassination or act of
cruelty. The inmates of the religious In
stitutions fled and the buildings were
burned. One of the greatest losses at
Barcelona is the libraries of the Chris
tian Schools and the Scientific Museum,
containing together 70.000 volumes. A
new Civil Governor of Barcelona has been
appointed. The publication of letters
from Don Jaime has revived the appre
hensions of Carlist invasion.

HOPES T0PUNISH CRAIG
(Continued From First Page )
under a severe mental strain, Mrs. Castle
was taken to headquarters for the usual
Inspection at the detective bureau. The
indignity of being photographed and
measured was spared her.
To the officers of the bureau Mrs.
Castle talked freely about herself and
the train of events which led up to the
sensational climax of yesterday. She
went "over her stage experience, which
she said began in San Francisco, where
she appeared in "The Girl of the Golden
West."
Craig, who is a lawyer, now practicing
in this city, she said she had known
since he was a child. Denying the impu
tation that she had forced her atten
tions on Craig, she declared that on the
other hand he had been following so
ALFONSO AND VICTORIA.
persistently for the last five months that
she was afraid he would compromise hei.
"I intended to kill myself." Mrs. Castlo
told the detective bureau's chief, "and
had the revolver in my hand, but he
was struck by the bullet I had Intended
for myself. I knew Mr. Craig went to
the rooms of the Rocky Mountain Club In
the Waldorf-Astoria to read, and after
he passed me without taking notice of
my presence, I said to him:
" "Well, don't pass without recognizing
me. I am going to finish myself.' "
According to Mrs. Castle s statement,
Craig told her to go ahead and do it.
"Mr. Craig has been an admirer of me
ever since I was a tot," she said. "I
have never annoyed or molested him in
any way. His wife and I are distant
cousins, but w-e are not now on friend
ly terms. This is because Mr. Craig
told Mrs. Craig in my presence that he
admired me. It is quite natural that
Mrs. Craig should defend her husband.
I would do it if I were in her place."
Mrs. Castle said she purchased the re
volver with which the shooting was done
some time ago and carried it as a means
of self-protection.
Has Husband in Alaska.
Mrs. Castle's maiden name was Mary
Scott and she Is the daughter of H. H.
Scott, a merchant iof San Francisco.
Her husband, at one time a well-known
lawyer in San Francisco, is said to be
at present in Alaska. The Castles have
been living apart for some time. After
coming East several years ago, Mrs.
Castle appeared in several productions.
Mrs. Castle, who was hysterical most of
the night, denied that after firing the
first shot she had pursued Craig Into the
elevator and there tried again to shoot
him. She said that when Craig had
spurned her on her first appearance, she
unconsciously walked with him towards
the elevator: that when she realized that
he would have no more to do with her,
she drew the weapon Intending to kill her
self, but that Craig grabbed at the pistol
and it was discharged, the bullet striking
him, but being deflected by a fountain pen
In his vest pocket. Mrs. Castle said she
then followed Craig into the elevator and
when he said that he had been shot she
turned the revolver on herself, but was
disarmed before she could take her own
life.
PACK TO BE GREATEST
RUN IN BERING SEA REPORTED
RECORD-BREAKER.
Catch of Sockeyes at Bellingham To
tals 355,000 for 24 Hours.
Dr. Jordan at Banks.
BELLINGHAM. Aug. . 4. An off-shore
wind drove the salmon schools into deep
water yesterday afternoon and last night
and a slump in the catch followed. Re
ceipts for Bellingham. Blaine and Ana
cortes aggregate 855.000 sockeyes for the
24 hours ending at noon.
Dispatches received by the officials of
the Alaska Packers' Association report
the pack in Bering Sea and northern
waters to date the largest of any season
since the industry was established. It is
doubted If material sufficient to handle
the Immense catch has been sent to the
northern plants.
Professors David Starr Jordan and Ed
ward Prince, International Fish Commis
sioners representing the United States
and Canada, arrived In Bellingham last
night and are spending today on the
salmon banks and at the traps studying
the run of the fish through American
waters toward the mouth of the Fraser
River.
ALASKA TO HAVE FILL PACK
Advices Repurt Huge Runs and Not
Enough Gear.
ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.) The
Columbia River Packers' Association re
ceived a cablegram this morning from L.
O. Belland. manager of its cannery at
Nushagak River, Bristol Bay. Alaska
The message was dated at Nome on July
29. and was probably sent out from Nush
agak about a week earlier. It says every
one was well, and the run of fish was fast
dropping off. but there was every Indica
tion the cannery would put up its full
pack, which means in the neighborhood
of 50.000 cases.
As on July 17. when former reports were
sent out, this cannery, as well as those of
the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Com
pany, and the Portland-Alaska Packers'
Association, had about 40.000 cases each,
it Is supposed that each was successful in
putting up its full pack.

PEOPLE SEE DEATH
First Public Execution in Paris
for 15 Years.
NO DISORDER IN CROWDS
Parricide Executed Near Saute Pris
on, Odd and Curious Customs
of Ancient Bays Being
Followed.
PARIS, Aug. 5. A sudden official an
nouncement that a public beheading
would take place at 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon (Thursday) in the boulevard
fronting the Sante Prison, caused a sen
sation In Paris, which had not seen an
execution in 16 years.
Immediately Immense crowds gathered
at the scene, but were kept back from
the guillotine by heavy details of police
and municipal guards. v
Parisian sentiment has . long been
against public execution, for in the past
they were accompanied by scandalous
scenes of revel.
Despite this sentiment Parliament re
fused to abolish the death penalty In
France, and in view of the revolting
crime of the man executed thla morning.
President -Fallieres refused to commute
his sentence to life Imprisonment.
The victim was named Duchemy, was
23 years old, and a butcher. In 1908 he
stabbed his mother, and this not resulting
in her death, he finished her by strangu
lation. The motive for the crime was
robbery.
The crowds were unable to get within
two blocks of the guillotine, which was
erected beneath the trees beside the
prison wall. The only spectators of the
execution were a number of officers and
a large crowd of Journalists.
As the trembling wretch stepped out of
the wagon, following a priest, who was
holding a crucifix before him, it was seen
that, according to the law dealing with
parricides, he was barefooted and his
head covered with a transparent veiling,
while a cape of crude material but half
covered his naked chest.
Before the onlookers had time to ex
press their wonderment at this strange
and disconcerting garb, which gave one
the . impression that the victim was a
woman, the flowing veil fell from the
head, the cape from the shoulders and
the victim was seized and thrown under
the knife. In a flash all was over and the
crowd dispersed without disorder.
HEFL1N FIGHTS IN ROAD
ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN HITS
CHAVFFEUR WITH FISTS.
LiTely Encounter on Street Follows
Interchange of Words Over
Speed of Machine.
WASHINGTON", Aug. 4. Representa
tive J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, be
came involved In a personal encounter
with an automobilist named Johnson
hero today.
Mr. Hefltn, and Representative Ollie
James, of Kentucky, were crossing F
street together when an automobile
whizzed by them. Mr. James says the
driver was handling the machine care
lessly, and was exceeding the speed limit,
very nearly running them down. When
the car stopped some distance up the
street the two Congressmen followed
and took the car's number.
Observing this action, the automobilist
followed and hailed the Congressmen, in
quiring why they had taken his number
and asking their names. The Congress
men said that they intended to report
him for fast driving and told him who
they were. Denying their allegations, the
driver is said to have made some remark
that was exceedingly distasteful to Mr.
Heflin, whose rejoinder was sharp and
to the point.
The Congressmen then moved away, but
the automobilist, it is alleged, followed
them, demanding that Mr. Heflin with
draw his statement. Then the men
fought. Few blows were struck. Mr.
James and Mr. Heflin's colleague, Mr.
Clayton, who had come along, separated
the combatants before any damage had
been done.

WANTED FAMILY GUARDED
Facts Leading tCp to His Stabbing
Made Public Tend to Show Ex
tent of the Conspiracy
Among Laborers.
HONOLULU, Aug. 4. That S. Sheba,
the Japanese editor of .the Shimpo, feared
he misht be killed as a result of the
policy followed by his paper during the
trouble with the Japanese plantation la
borers, was shown, today when Mason F.
Prosser, his attorney, made public a let
ter he received from the editor May
in which the attorney was asked to care
for Sheba's -family in the event of his
death.
The letter stated that Maklno.. Negoro
and Soga. three of the Japanese on trial,
and others of their followers, were pro
claiming Sheba a traitor to the interests
of his countrymen. The situation looked
serious, Sheba wrote, but he declared
himself ready to die for what he believed
to be the best interests of his country
men, and asked only that Prosser look
after his family, for whose future he had
been able to provide but poorly. He told
the lawyer where his will would be found
and concluded:
"I beseech you to look after my affairs
for the sake of my family. I have done
my utmost for what I believe to be the
best Interests of my countrymen here and
have nothing to regret. Please keep this
letter confidential until the inevitable
happens."
Prosser stated also that he had received
letters of a threatening nature because
of his connection with the editor; and that
his partner, W. A. Kinney, who Is con
ducting the prosecution of the Japanese
casea, had received similar missives.
Sheba, who was stabbed yesterday by
T. Mori, a fellow-countryman, was re
ported to be much Improved today.
The trial of the several strike leaders
on the charge of conspiracy, which has
been in progress for several weeks, but
was interrupted yesterday by the stab
bjng of Sheba, was resumed today. The
court instructed the jury to disregard the
Sheba .Incident, but the prosecution, it is
said, may try to introduce it as evidence
to show the crinimal nature of the al
leged conspiracy.
CH1LBEHG MAKES PEACE
GOVERNOR JOHNSON FRIEXDLY
AGAIX TO FAIR PRESIDENT.
Little Rift in Lute Is Mended and
Both Near-Belligerents Adjourn
to Pay Streak.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 4. Speclal.)
In view of a treaty of peace entered
Into last evening at the exposition
grounds between President Chilberg, of
the exposition and a certain distin
guished son of Minnesota, who has just
said farewell to Seattle, it may truth
fully be said of the former, as of
George Washington, that he was first
in war and first in peace.
Convinced , by Governor Johnson's
frank disavowal of any deliberate in
tention of snubbing people of a com
mon ancestry, Swedish day, and that
his failure to get here from Spokane
in time to take part in the exercises
Saturday was a sin of omission, rather
than of commission, Mr. Chilberg has
tened to make the amende honorable
for any hasty utterance by which Gov
ernor Johnson and Minnesota might
have thought to have received discour
teous trea-tment.
in fact, he had announced he would
ignore Johnson's presence, and declared
Johnson had forfeited many votes by
his slight- Johnson had retorted that
he wasn't looking for votes and that
he didn't care a rap what Chilberg
thought.
Mr. Chilberg opened negotiations
looking to a patching up of the late
unpleasantness when he called up Gov
ernor Johnson at the New Washington
Hotel early last evening and invjted
him to be the honor guest in a person
ally conducted tour of the exposition
grounds, and more particularly the
Pay Streak.
"I'm on," replied Minnesota's first
citizen In the terse slang which is one
of his accomplishments. "And be sure
and bring Mrs. Johnson," urged the
head of the big show.
"Sure, Mike Mr. Chilberg. I mean,"
returned his excellency."
"You've been working pretty hard.
Governor, since you struck town," said
Mr. Chilberg, "and you know we've
had our litle Joke about your not get
ting here Swedish day, and I think
we're entitled to a little fun."
This sentiment coincided exactly
with the Governor's frame of mind.
The result was that the Governor and
Mr. Chilberg soon became fast friends,
and before they had got half way down
the line they were seeing the shows
arm In arm, their faces wreathed in
expansive smiles.
