PARIS. Oct. The trtk of th rail
road men, which threatens to prad
throughout France, was denounced today
r-jr Premier Briand as an Insurrection,
purely, built upon criminal founda
tlna.
The Premier declared that the strike
waa called while nrn tint Ions were ko-
Ina on for an adjustment of srlevancea
and he promised that the Inatlafrtors
of the strike would be prosecuted.
The River Heine, which In January
threatened to destroy Paris, looms up In
t'ne role of saviour. The government
has mad arrangements to rush food
supplies to Paris from the sea. requlsl
tlonlna all boats to meet the crisis and
ease tlie food markt-t, which Is already
hard hit.
Call to Colors Ignored.
The emplojcs of the Kastern and the
Paris. Lyons at Mediterranean railroads
have nt to any appreciable extent, re
sponded to the strike call and the gov
rrnmnts weapon of mohillaztfon has
Induced s n:e of those employed on the

jvevertheic jp, the northern and went
ern rail road a are prostrated. The call
to the co'ors has been Ignored by the
larre majority and at mass meetings
t'Kiay the strikers reiterated their de
termination not to respond to the call.
Much destruction has been wrought
on the western system which the
strikers and their supporters have held
tin and derailed trains, blocked tracks,
destroyed signals, ripped up rails and
rut telephone and telegraph wires. The
government has ordered the arrest of
a score of strike leaders and instruc
tions have been Issued to the troops
to use severe measures wherever oc
casion requires.
Railway Stations Closed.
Thousands of persons living In the
suburbs and employed In Paris massed
this evening around the depots. These
they found closed and silent, with mil
itary camps in front. Then, with true
Parisian gaiety, they laughingly set
out to walk home, perhaps a distance
of five or ten miles, or stormed the
tramways, cabs, automobiles and other
conveyances.
The losses to commerce already are
tremendous. Scores of trains have
been stalled along the roads, many of
these carrying food supplies, which
have become unfit for use. The Passen
gers on the steamship Oceanic who
took the train at Cherbourg for Paris.
are blocked at Mante-Sur-Seine, about
2 miles from Paris.
. Many Americans Suffer.
Many Americans have been compelled
to remain in this city or to pay fabu
lous sums to reach the coast, .so that
they might embark for England. Seven
hundred sacks of American mall are
now being transported from Havre to
T'arts up the Seine and the French
stennishlp line will employ a tug to
convey the passengers for the steamer
La Touraine. sailing on Saturday.
M. Jaures. leader of the Socialists in
the Chamber of leputles. today
answered Premier Briand. charging
that the railroads of the government
were rcMHinsible for the present crisis,
lie declared that the scheme of mili
tarization was dangerous, as it was
certain to weaken military discipline
and Increase anti-militarism.
Train Has Narrow Kftcape.
The Southwest Express had a narrow
esrape from being wrecked on its ar
rival here today. The brakes failed to
work and subsequent Investigation
showed that the air pipes had been cut.
The train dashed into the Austerlits
station at a speed of 60 miles an hour.
It was stopped Just before reaching the
loran terminus.
At Bots Colombes the strikers held
up a freight train and. smashing In
the doors of the cars, freed a cargo of
cattle. Heavy consignments of fruit
and vegetables destined for Belgium
and Northern France are stalled and
ruined. Prices of flsh. eggs, butter
and milk have Jumped 25 per cent. The
merchants are arranslng for the trans
portation of vegetables from the sub
urbs by automobiles.

Miss Annie Driver. 50 years old. daugh
ter of a pioneer settler of Portland and
who lived most all her life at 570 First
treet. died at the Good Samaritan Hos
pital Inst nlirht of a malady physicians
who attended her for the last eight weeks
were unable to fathom.
Eight weeks ago Miss Driver was taken
to the hospital and every effort was
made to diagnose her peculiar Illness but
without avail. She remained conscious
hroughout her long siege of pain and
death came suddenly when the physi
cians were about to adopt heroic meas
ures to ease her suffering.
Perry I Thought to Be "Sqnlnt
Ejed Man" and He Was Mem
ber of Conferences In Which
Word "Dynamite" Was Vsed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12. It became
known tonight that the detectives from
Los Angeles who have been in this city
several days in connection with clews
to the three men who purchased dyna
mite believed to have been used in the
destruction of the Times building, have
discovered the lodging place of J. A.
Brice and Perry, two of the suspects,
prior to the time they moved to the
Argonaut Hotel.
Brice became a lodger at the home of
Mrs. D H. Ingersoll. 3656 Twentieth
street, on September 4. He left on Sep
tember 14 to go to the Argonaut. During
the time he lived on Twentieth street,
Perry called on him. according to Mrs.
Ingersoll. sometimes as often as three
times a day. Brice seldom left his room.
Woman Loath to Talk. .
Mrs. Ingersoll refused to talk much
about her former lodger, saying that all
the Information she possessed was in the
hands of the authorities. She said, how
ever, that Brice and Perry devoted their
time while together to plotting against
some one, she would not say whom, and
that they frequently mentioned dyna
mite. These discussions were held In
urice a room but at times the men a
voices were raised to a pitch that made
them audible all over the flat.
Mrs. Ingeraoll's description of Brice
tallies exactly with that given of Bry
son. one of the purchasers of the dy
namite, while she describes Perry in
such a way as positively to Identify
him as the "squint-eyed man," another
of the trio. Mrs. Ingersoll also said
that she was acquainted with a woman
friend of Brice and that it was through
this young woman he happened to go
to the Ingersoll house to room. The
name of the woman Mrs. Ingersoll re
fused to divulge.
Brice Said He Was Printer.
According to Mrs. Ingersoll, Brice
came to tier house on September 4,
telling her that he was a printer from
Chicago, but that he had Just come
from Los Angeles, where he had been
for two or three days. Brice greeted
Perry as "Smithy."
When fBrlce went to the hotel he
telephoned Mrs. Ingersoll. asking her
to take dinner with him. She re
fused, she said, because the conversa
tions she had heard between Brice and
Perry had alarmed her. What these
conversations were she refused to say.
beyond that they were plotting against
someone, and used the word Ingersoll.
Men Went Different Ways.
Mrs. Ingersoll was positive that the
men did not leave here on the gaso
line schooner Kate, but would not say
how she knew. She said both men
left an Francisco some . time after
September 24 and that they went In
different directions.
Perry, the "squint-eyed man." Is
thought to be the man who rented the
launch Pastime or Peerless, the de-J
scriptlon furnished by Mrs. ingersoll
tallying exactly with that given by the
launch owner.
Acting on Information obtained from
Mrs. Ingersoll, the detectives believe
that they will succeed In locating the
suspects within two or throe days.

Terrible Suffering
Eeuai All Over Baby's Body.
"When my baby vat four months
old his face broke out with eczema,
and at sixteen months of age, his face,
hands and arms were In a- dreadful
state. The eczema spread all over his
body. We had to put a mask or cloth
over his face and tie up his hands.
Finally we gave him Hood's Sarsa-
parllla and In a few months he was
cured." Mrs. Ines Lewie, Baring, Me.
Hood's Sarsaparllla has effected
thousands of cures where'a blood-puri
fying medicine was needed.
There is no real substitute for It. . If
urged to buy any preparation said to
be "Just as good" you may be sure it
Is Inferior, costs lees to make, and

Napier had charged. He says that 'No
pier requested that he be given em
ployment as a superintendent In case
the franchise passed, and that it was
Intimated to blm that his capabilities,
in the opinion of those Interested in
the Portland Sanitary Company, are
not auch as to admit of employment
In that capacity being given.
Tou can say for me that any man
who wouW employ the tactics which
Babcock Is using in an effort to secure
a franchise should be ridden out of
town on a rail," said Mr. Napier, when
the extract from the letter embodying
the above charge was read to him. "The
interview was not of my seeking, and
I can say most emphatically that I did
not broach the question of prospective
employment in any way."
Mr. Napier still refuses to make pub
lie the contents of the letter which 'he
sent to Mayor Simon Tuesday, and the
Mayor also cllnps to his first resolve
not to allow Its publication, taking the
position that too much has already
been published on the subject.
"I have had an Interview and the
only Interview wliloh any person con
nected with the Portland Sanitary
Company has had with Mr. Napier, I
am in a position, and do unqualifiedly
deny statements "by Mr. Napier as ab
solutely false," said Mr. Babcock.
"Mr. Napier in his interview with me
sought to ascertain whether the com
pany would employ nim as superin
tendent If we got the franchise, but as
we had serious doubts about his capa
bilities I was impolitic enough to re
veal to him my doubts and declined to
give him any positive assurance.. He

STARK VILLE, Colo.. Oct. 12. The
situation In the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company's mine here tonight may be
summarized as follows:
Bodies burled and In the morgue. 14;
bodies located In mine, 8; bodies miss

Three-fourths of the 55 miles of

by Saturday night's explosion gone,
there was no slackening of effort by
rescuers to reach the Innermost t
cesses of the underground labyrinth
today.
The workers tonight are devoting
their energies to the removal of the
eight bodies located at noon. Their
task is made doubly hard by the con
dltion of the bodies and the 6700 feet
of rough and dangerous trail over
which they must be carried to the
death cars. Those not needed in this
precarious work are pushing their way
to the entries where 15 men are be

"Cheap glasses are an intense

It transpires that the young teller
