PHILADELPHIA, March 4. Encour
aged by messages of sympathy and
offers of assistance from labor organiza
tions from all parts of the country, the
union workers of many trades ceased
work at midnight and Inaugurated what
promises to be one of the greatest sym
pathetic strikes In the history of or
ganized labor. -
The Committee of Ten says that at least
85,000 organized workers, as well as many
unorganized men, have ceased work.
Promptly at midnight union orchestras
playing in the leading hotels and cafes
picked up their instruments and 6tarted
for home.

abandoned their posts, and the hotel and
railroad cab and automobile service was
badly crippled. The drivers of both tax
icab companies in the city are' members
of a. union and refused to take out their
machines after midnight.
The Committee of Ten remained in ses
sion at Its headquarters all night, receiv

The labor leaders refused to comment
on the report that the police would pre
vent the demonstration planned for to
morrow afternoon In Independence
square. 1
i
Rioting: Begins Afresh.
Rliotlng, which began tonight in sev
eral sections of the city and was par
ticularly severe In the northeastern dis
trict. Is thought to be a forerunner of
more serious trouble tomorrow, when
thousands of idle men will throng the
treets.
Although the labor leaders are receiv
ing moral support from their fellow
workmen In all parts of the country,
many associations of employers have sent
letters and telegrams to the officials of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
and the city officials, commending their
position and urging , them to stand firm
In their determination not to recognize
the union.
Reserves Held Ready.
All policemen, firemen and specials
who have been on duty since the strike
began received orders tonight to re
main at their posts. The number of
automobiles in the City Hall courtyard
was Increased and preparations were
made to send a force of men to any
section of the city at a moment's no
tice. .
Many of these machines are driven
by their owners, wealthy men who are
to do police duty, having been sworn in
by Director Clay.
William Drexler was shot and proba
bly fatally injured tonight by a po
liceman who fired into a crowd that
had congregated. Several cars had
been stoned by the crowd and the po
lice guarding them frred a volley. One
of the bullets struck Drexler In the
stomach.
Crowds also attacked cars in other
sections of the city.
Arbitration Is Refused.
Word came from the Carmen's Union
tonight that the last effort to secure ar
bitration upon a basis acceptable- to the
carmen had failed, and final word was
dispatched at once to all the unions of
the city ordering the sympathetic strike.
A proclamation was also made to un
organized workers, who are urged by the
committee to refrain from working until
the Committee of Ten, through the Cen
tral Labor Union and the United Build
ing Trades Council, orders a resumption
of work.
Another proclamation calls for a. nnh-
Hc demonstration by the working people
of Philadelphia in Independence square
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
It was stated by the Committee of Ten
that hundreds of letters had been re
ceived today frpm bodies of' unskilled
workmen, not affiliated with unions, de
claring their Intention to strike.
Printers Remain at Work.
Philadelphia Typographical Union No.
2 will not participate in the general
strike. The question was referred to a
committee, which deslded ' against the
walkout.
It Is sure that the sympathetic strike
win cause much suffering and Inconven
ience. It is declared that practically all
bakery wagon, milk wagon and teamsters-
for fruit and produce dealers will
stand by the order to cease work. The
teamsters' union, comprising at least 75
per cent of all drivers in the city, after
serving customers tomorrow morning,
will quit work, it is said, and not return
until the general strike la called off.

tally wounded.
Powell, it is said, met his victims as
they were walking along the street to
gether. He approached Mr. Travis and
asked him why he had not replied to a
letter he had written him. Mr. Kitchln,
thinking that Powell was out of humor,
placed his hand gently on Powell's shoul
der and attempted to placate him. Pow
ell drew a pistol, shot Kitchln and then
fired on Dunn and Travis.

a shotgun and barricaded himself in the
place. No effort was made to arrest him,
but he surrendered tonight and was

a brief speech Mr. Coughlln said:
"Fellow Democrats: This is a sur
prise to me. I never was more sur
prised In my life. It is, Indeed, a great
honor to receive the nomination for
alderman of the first ward at the hands
of the Democratic party.
"I have represented this ward In the
city council 18 years. You always know
on what side of the fence to find John
Coughlin. There's no 'bunkerino' about
me. It is either yes or no.
"You probably have noticed that I
don't vote with the alleged reformers
on certain questions. I don't want to
have anything to do with those long
haired guys.
"I'm in the city council to represent
the first ward to the best of my abil
ity. If It is the wish of the voters of
this ward to re-elect me, I shall go
along and do the best I know how. I
thank you for the confidence you re
pose In me."

Forester Shows Impatience
Under Cross-Examination.
RETORT SHOWS VEXATION
Ballinger's Reversal of Garfield
Policy Suggested as Reason for
Accusations Pinchot Admits
Limit of Knowledge.
WASHINGTON, March 4. The Ballln-ger-Plnchot
investigation dragged two
sessions today. Mr. Vertrees, counsel for
Secretary Ballinger, continued his cross
examination of Gifford Pinchot.
He elicited some interesting facts from
the former forester, but for the most
part the day was taken up with wrangles
between the attorney and the witness,
and sometimes between Mr. Vertrees and
counsel for the other side.
Mr. Pinchot complained to the commit
tee that It was difficult to explain for
est service matters to a man so little
Informed on the subject as Mr. Vertrees
appeared to be.
Delays Annoy Committee.
The members of the committee showed
considerable Impatience during the. day,
and Senator Flint repeatedly urged coun
sel' to stop wrangling and try to get
down to facts. Many of Mr. Vertrees"
questions were based upon documentary
evidence and he read copiously from
the record of the case. Senator Flint de
clared that one. letter had been placed
in the record at least 20 different times.
Mr. Pinchot admitted that his first-hand
knowledge of Mr. Ballinger's acts was
limited, but he reiterated that the Secre
tary of the Interior had deceived the
President concerning the Cunningham
coal cases and had made a statement to
the President which was obviously un
true. Source of Antagonism Sought.
Mr. Vertrees, at the afternoon session,
questioned Mr. Pinchot closely regarding
the sending of forest rangers to agricul
tural colleges and brought out that Mr.
Pinchot was under the impression he
had informed the Secretary of Agricul
ture of what he was doing, but was not
willing to swear to it.
The attorney sought to show that Mr.
Pinchot and ex-Secretary of the Interior
Garfield were in the habit of doing what
they thought best regardless of the law
and that their antagonism to Mr. Ballin
ger was brought about by his determina
tion to proceed wholly within the law.
The cross-examination of Mr. Pinchot
proceded slowly from the start and was
interrupted by long arguments between
the witness and Mr. Vertrees.
Ballinger's Fairness Admitted.
With reference to his claim that Mr.
Ballinger had deceived the President con
cerning a decision by the Controller of
the Treasury, Mr. Pinchot admitted that
Mr. Ballinger's written statement to the
President was a fair one and the docu-

Man Taken Sick After Slight Scratch
on Hand and Dies Despite
Medical Aid.
LOB ANGELES. Cal.. March 4. (Spe
cial.) Six days ago John McAllister, a
veterinary surgeon's assistant, attended
a dog afflicted with a strange malady and
the dog bit him slightly. A few hours
later it died after horrible suffering and
the nature of it's affliction has not been
determined. Apparently it was not rabies.
The day after .the canine's teeth
scratched his hand slightly. McAllister
became slcli and today he died in a hos
pital after showing similar symptoms and
enduring even more agony than the dog.
Many physicians were called in consul
tation. The patient was operated on and
every effort was vainly made to find
what his sickness was and to save his
life. There were alight indications of
appendicitis and a certificate was finally
signed attributing death thereto. This
gave the doctors no satisfaction, however,
and ' the investigation will be continued.
Six persons were serious bitten by dogs
today. This evening the Mayor signed
an ordinance requiring dogs on the
streets to be muzzled, shot or impounded,
and the law will become effective Mon
day. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS

Drop Matter After Stormy
Session Is Held.
WASHINGTON, March 4. Proofs of
Commander Peary's discovery of the
North Pole caused a row in the sub
committee of the House committee on
naval affairs today.
Members of the Geographic Society ap
peared before the committee with 'copies
of Peary's proofs, to urge the granting
of a suitable reward by Congress, but the
committee declined to receive them In
conference, and has made it known that
unless the Peary proofs are forthcoming
to their full satisfaction, every bill in
troduced to reward the discoverer will
be pigeonholed.
Secrecy Is Denied.
Three members of the committee were
In favor of receiving the Peary proofs
without making them public. Representa
tive Macon hotly objected, and after de
claring his position, stalked angrily from
the room.
"I am against all legislation in the
dark," Mr. Macon sharply told the com
mittee. "Furthermore, if this commit
tee decides in favor of Peary, without in
specting 'the full records and 'making
them public, I will expose the whole busi.
ness on the floor of the House or in a
statement to the press. If we reward
Mr. Peary, the American people have a
right to know what we are rewarding
him for."
- Professor Gannett.' of the Ooas: and
Geodetic Survey, and one of the members
of the National Geographic Society, which
accepted Peary's proofs, told the com
mittee that Mr. Peary would not let the
committee have the proofs for public
purposes, because he wanted them for
use in newspapers and magazine articles.
Proofs Not Submitted.
The professor had with him a copy of
the proofs, but decjined to submit them.
He told the committee he had not the
slightest doubt that Peary discovered the
Pole, and never had any, even before he
saw the proofs. He submitted to lengthy
questioning and answered many interro
gations about the Peary dash for the
Pole.
He told of the tidal observations that
Commander Peary had sent back to the
department from time to time, which, he
said, were of great value. He said
Peary went two miles past the Pole to
make sure that he was at the extreme
"top of the earth."

OWN EXECUTOR, GOOD IDEA
Dr. Pearsons, Philanthropist, Com

CHICAGO, March 4. "I am not suffi

Rockefeller's latest project to discuss it
intelligently, but. if Mr. Rockefeller has
decided to be bis own executor, I can
most heartily commend the idea," said
Dr. D. K. Pearsons, the agedphilanthrop
Ist, who has given many millions to small
colleges, yesterday, at his home in Hins

princiflla that the man whom providence
has endowed with a gift for accumulat

tributor of It, as it requires fully as. much
brains to give away money as it does to
earn it.
"From my personal knowledge of Mr
Rockefeller I believe he can be depended
upon to make such a use of his wealth as
to insure tremendous results to flow
from it after he is dead and gone."

at 4:30 in the morning, when four mall
trains brought in an enormous batch of
delayed mail, and ending about midnight
with the arrival of a detoured Southern
Pacific train, which went on to San Fran
cisco. So heavy Is the passenger trail
movement that the O. R. & N. ant
Southern Pacific' freight trains are prac
tically at a standstill.
The first of the delayed trains begn.ll
pouring out its load in the Union Depo
about 6 o'clock last night and it was fol
lowed at frequent Intervals by other de
layed trains, detoured Southern Pacifla
trains and the day's regular through

which mi filled in, however, by the ar
rival of two detoured Southern Paciflo

at 11 A. M. These trains carried about
13 cars each, but were not crowded.

The first Ave trains that arrived from
the East tyi the evening came in as
sections of No. S, which, according to
schedule, is due in Portland at 10:30
A. M. The first section, which reached
Portland about 6 o'clock, was a
through train to Portland which had
been held u;o by washouts on the Short

three days ago. The second section
was another . delayed train; the third
and fourth sections were -detoured

Side division, the Astorta & Columbia
River Railroad, the Northern Pacifio
and the Oregon & Washington, 69
trains arrived at or departed from th
Union Station in the 24 hours.
Freight Cannot Be Moved.
So extensive has become the passen
ger traffic over the O. R. & N. and the
Southern Pacific that attempts to move
freight were practically abandoned
yesterday. This condition Is likely to
continue today, for the Shasta route
will have a still heavier traffic. Sev
eral trains that started East from San
Francisco via the Ogden route were
compelled to return to San Francisco
and start north via Portland. The de-
