LOS ANGELES, Cal.. March 2L A hold
up of an electric car on the Santa Monica
line that for desperate daring surpasses
the deed of Burke and.Metzer, who sue
cessfully robbed a carload of passengers
on the Pasadena line a month ago, occur
red tonight Just outside the city imlts,
As a result of the fight that followed be
tween passengers and highwaymen.
George A, Grlswold was ehot dead and two
other passengers wounded. Their names
have not yet been ascertained. It is be
lieved one of the highwaymen was killed.
Informatlon of the hold-up firet reached
the police through Charles A. Henderson,
who was a passenger on the car. He tells
the following story:
"The car left Fourth and Broadway at
9:05 tonight for Santa Monica. At Con
cord street, about a quarter of a mile
outside the city limits, the car came to a
standstill, because of somo obstructions
across the rails. No sooner had It stopped
than three men appeared, all wearing
masks and with heavy revolvers In their
hands, which they trained upon the car
load of passengers. 'Hands up, everybody,
hands up,' called out one of the highway
men. "I noticed that their guns were trained
upon the passengers standing, and as I
was seated, I thought 1 was safe In mak
ing some move. I shifted my revolver
from a hip to an overcoat pocket and a
moment later when one of the men was
not more than five feet away, I opened
fire. I fired four shoto point blank at. his
breast. The man fell and I believe he is
mortally wpunded. Immediately the other
two highwaymen seeing their companion
fall, opened fire. A regular fusillade of
shots followed.
"I ducked across the car and Jumped
off the oposlte side and ran across a field
to tho road. There I ran across a horse
and buggy tied to a fence. I supposed it
had been left there by the highwaymen,
I Jumped into the buggy and drove back
to town."
During the fight between the robbers and
passengers, the motorman turned on the
current and made a run at the obstruc
tions, throwing them aside and leaving the
robbers behind. The car proceeded to
Santa Monica.
The- entire police and detective force of
the city are out in search of the high
waymen. JACKSON STOCKRAISERS.
Organization la Effected aad Officers
Are Chosen.
MEDFORD. Or., March 2L (Special.)
The adjourned meeting of tho Jackson
County Stockraisers was held here today.
Grant Rawllngs, of Central Point, pre
sided; Fred R. Nell, of Ashland, acted as
secretary. A permanent organization was
effected under the name of the Jackson
County Stockralsers' Association, and a
constitution was adopted which was very
broad In scope, as the stockmen propose
to make their organization both a mutual
benefit and mutual protective association.
All purchases of fine stock for breed
ing purposes will be made by the associa
tion for its members, as also the purchase
of salt and other supplies for stockmen's
use. Provision was made for the selling
of beef end other stock through the as
sociation. Jackson County will be divided
Into not to exceed 15 ring districts, over
which a ring boss will be appointed who
will look after all stray stock, and any
cases of stock stealing that may be re
ported and other matters that pertain to
the welfare of tho stockmen. For perma
nent organization George Owens was
elected president. H. G. Matthews vice
president. Fred R. Nell, of Ashland, sec
retary; Fort Hubbard, of Medford, treas
urer. The executive committee Is made
up of: Sheriff Joseph M. Rider. Jackson
ville; S. P. Barneburg, of Medford; George
Owens, H. G. Mathews, Fred R. Neil, of
Ashland.
The association voted to take part In the
fair to be held at Medford this Fall with
an exhibit and sales day of stock. Much
interest ie taken, and the membership of
the association promises to be one of the
largest in the state.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 2L Mrs. A.
M. Hawkins this morning committed sul
cme oy turning on tne gas in a room
she had recently rented. She was about
25 years old and had recently been em
ployed as a telephone operator. Her
marriage certificate showed that her
maiden name was Emma B. Gabbush and
that she had married Alfred M. Hawkins
at Denver in 1900.
Among her letters was one from her
husband, dated January 26. 2901. at Elk-
horn Gulch. Colo. The writer begged her
forgiveness and assured her that the wo
man who had been the cause of their
estrangement had pot communicated with
him and ho had not seen her for a year.
He made many promises of reform and
wrote altogether in a remorseful tone.
Another letter of an affectionate char
acter signed "Frank" was dated Grant's
Pass, Or., and requested her to write to
41 Second street, Portland, Or. It
thought that Mr. Hawkins had relatives
at Ashland. Or. She made an attempt
to kill herself in the same manner a few
weeks ago.

gation Company, of which Captain E. B.
Burns is manager. Is spending a large
amount of money In the development of
the Lower Rogue country, from the
mouth of the Illinois down. The com
pany Is now at work building two steam

year, one of which was the Rogue River,
which was wrecked while trying to make
tbe rapids below the Illinois a few months
ago. The new boats are being very
strongly built, and will be especially
adapted for the rapids of the Rogue.
This company is owner of the Mule
mine, near the mouth of the Illinois. A
large amount of machinery, including a
new stamp mill, has been received, and
will be Installed at the property. The
Mule is making an excellent showing with
development, and will no doubt become a
good producer.

LOOKS LIKE STEEL.
He May Be Appelated to Oreoa City
Land OSce.
OREGON CITY, Or., March 2L Special)
The recommendation for the appoint
ment of City Attorney Sidney Dresser as
Register of the Oregon City Land Office
by Senators Mitchell ano rTiiton ana tns
consequent refusal of President Kooseveit
to make the appointment because he had
promised Senator Simon that he might
name Register Moores successor, is caus
ing considerable Interest to be manifested
among the politicians and other people in
this city as to the outcome of the matter.
The officers of the Land Office will not,
of course, talk for publication, but the ex
land officials and Land Offico attorneys
are free to express their opinions. From
their point of view at the present time
George A. Steel has tho best chance for
appointment. They think that Mr. Dresser
will be provided for, as Senator Mitchell
owes him something, but that he will not
be Register of the Oregon City Land
Office.
Mot, if not all oZ them, favor the re
tention of Mr. Moore, but, deeming that
improbable, they speculate upon his sue
cessor, and have booked Mr. Steel. An ex
official of the Land Office cites the case

of Dr. Crum. appointed by the President 1
as Collector of a Southern port, and .whose
confirmation was refused by the Senate.
Mr. Roosevelt merely waited until after
the adjournment of the Senate and made
the appointment during the recess. This
may be done In the case of Steel. His ap
pointment once made, bonds approved and
commission Issued, It would be an impos
sibility to oust him. once he was installed,
without preferring charges against him.
Mr. Steel was In town yesterday and held
a conference with State Senator George C
Brownell, but it has not developed what
transpired.
The recommendation of Mr. Dresser
calls to mind a happening of a number of
years ago, when Colonel Robert A. Miller
was Register. His term had expired and
the appointment of his successor was
dally expected. ' Mr. Dresser, was a can
didate then. A fake telegram was sprung
on Colonel Miller, who, after a little, saw
through tho joke. It was signed by the
Secretary of the Interior, and ordered
him to turn the office over to the Receiver
and announced Dresser's appointment.
The story was noised about and came to
tho ears of Senator Brownell and Mr.
Dresser. The former assured Dresser that
he had received a private telegram from
Washington that very day confirming the
appointment, but he did not produce It
because he could not. The next day a
paper exploded the story, but the incident
has always been remembered in Land Office
circles, and the recent recommendation
has caused it to be retold.

ONE POINT CLEARED UP.
Bnrdlclc Bonslit Liquor In Expecta
tion of MldniRht Visitor.
BUFFALO, March ZL When the Inquest
into the Burdick mystery is brought to a
close on Monday or Tuesday, it Is probable
unless unlooked-for information is forth
comingthat a verdict will be returned to
the effect that the crime was committed
by a person or persons unknown. Dis
trict Attorney Coatesworth is Improving
steadily, and will be ready to resume the
case on Monday. He expects to get
through with the caso in two more ses
sions. An Interesting point was cleared up by
the police today. It Is now known where
the small bottle found In Burdlck's den on
the morning after the murder came from.
The bottle contained a small amount of
liquor, and was found standing on the
table near the remains of the luncheon.
The police learned today that the bottle
was bought at a Washington-street liquor
store, and that it contained Manhattan
cocktails. The man who bought it accu
rately answered the description of Bur
dick. and it was sold on the day before
the murder.
It has been known all along that Bur
dick bought a large bottle at another
liquor store. It contained Martini cock
tails. One of the servants In the Bur
dick household saw that bottle and heard
Burdick draw the cork from It in the pan
try early In the evening preceding the
murder. The larger bottle has not been
seen by any one since the tragedy oc
curred. The discovery of the facts relat
ing to the small bottle strengthens the
theory that Burdlck's visitor came by ap
pointment and that Burdick was murdered
by some one who first partook of the re
freshments brought to the house by Bur
dick In anticipation of the visit.

however, takes a decided opposition
against compulsory arbitration. On this
point they add quite a lengthy commen
tary which closes in the following lan
guage: "The chief benefit to be derived from
the suggestion herein made lies in plac
ing the real facts and the responsibility
for such condition authoritatively before
the people, that the public opinion may
crystallize and make Its power felt. Could
such a commission as that suggested have
been brought into existence in June last,
we believe that the coal famine might
have been averted. Certainly the suffer
ing and deprivation might have been
greatly mitigated."
Strike Cost 9100,000,000.
These awards and ratifications consti
tute the closing part of the report. The
earlier pages and by lofag odds the larger
portion of the report are devoted to a
review of the controversy which led to
the present action in appointing the Com
mission, to. the appointment itself, and to
the proceedings of the Commission during
its existence. They review in a general
way tho production of anthracite coal,
refer to the small area of country In
which it is produced, and dwell at some
length op the market conditions and the
price of cal.

COUNTY PIONEER
John Isom, a pioneer citizen
of Linn County, who died last
week at the country home of
hie son, J. D. Isom, near Peter
son's Butte, was born In 1S27.
He was a pioneer of 1S53, having
come to Oregon from his native
state. Vlrglna. He was closely
identified with the early growth
of Linn County and the City of
Albany. Besides being a large
owner of ..real property In the
county, Mr. Isom owned consid
erable property In Albany, and
WM for many years proprietor
or the Red Crown Flouring Mills
In Albany. In this latter
capacity ho became one of the
most widely known men in Linn
county. During the panic of 1S93
Mr. Isom lost most of his prop
erty. He kj survived by a wife
and ten children. The children
are: Mrs. Henry Cleek. of Al
bany; Mrs. Skinner, of Soda

Monroe "Ward, of Albany; Mrs.

ture of anthracite coal mining, and gives
an estimate of the losses occasioned by
the strike. These losses are estimated
as follows. As to mlncowners, $46,100,000;
to the mine employes In wages, $23,000,
000; to the transportation companies, $2S,
003.000.
The Commissioners say that in making
their investigation they have done what
ever it was practicable to do to acquaint
themselves with the conditions which
brought about the strike, and they make
the following summary of their work:
They have gone through mines and in
spected the various conditions which the
production of anthracite coal involves;
they have visited the breakers, the engine
houses and pumping stations; they have
examined the machinery by which the
mines are protected from water and foul
air; they have talked with the miners at
their work, and in their homes, and they
have given attention to the economic, do
mestic, scholastic and religious phases of
their lives; they have listened to and di
rected the examination and cross-examination
of 55S witnesses; they have given
free scope to the counsel who represented
the operators, the nonunion men and the
miners, and they have devoted an entire
week to hearing their arguments.
The Commissioners also say that while
there have been differences of opinion
among themselves, there never has been
a time during the five months of the ex
istence of the Commission when there
was an unpleasant word spoken among
them "or any indication whatever of
thought or desire of aught save truth and
Justice."
Tho Commissioners then take up tho de
man da of the mlneworkers and the an
swers of the mine operators, giving In
detail the reasons for the findings. In
general way they say that the conditions
of the life of a mlneworker outside the
mines does not Justify to their full extent
the adverse criticisms made by their rep
resentatives. They also find that the so
clal conditions in the mining communi
ties are good, and they fall to find that
the wages are so low among the miners
as necessarily to force them to put their
small children to work.
The commission alao finds that the aver
age dally rate of earnings In the anthra
cite regions does ' not compare unfavor-
ably with that In other industries,
Recognition of Union.
On the subject of the recognition of
the Mlneworkers Union, the commission
says that it does not consider that this
subject is within the scope of the Juris
diction conferred on them. They do say
however, that "the suggestion of a work
ing agreement between employers and em
ploycs, embodying the doctrine of collec
tlve bargaining, la one which the com
mission believes contains many hopeful
elements for the adjustment of relations.
Further on they say: "The present con'
stltutlon of the United Mlneworkers of
America does not present the most Invit
ing inducements to the .operators to enter
into contractual relations with it." They
also pronounce as untenable the conten
tlon that "a majority of the employes of
an Industry, by voluntarily associating
themselves in a union, acquire authority
over those who do not so associate them
selves."
The Commissioners report their incapac
ity to make award on the demand of the
miners for a recognition of their union
because they say the union is not a party j
xo me suomission. Attention is canea to
the fact that Mr. Mitchell appeared before
the Commission as "the representative of
anthracite coal miners," and not lnhls i women. It strength
official capacity. They also call attention ' ens the weak stom
to the fact that the agreement to arbi
trate was reached between the operators
and a coal miners convention. The Com
missioners say that "trades unionism" Is
If the energy of the employer is directed
to discouragement and repression of the
union, he need not be surprised if the
more radical ones are the ones most fre
quently heard. They express the opinion
that differences can best be settled bj
consultations by the employer with a
"committee chosen by his employes." But
they add that "In order to be entitled to
such recognition, tho labor organization
must give the same recognition to the
rights of the employer and of others which
it demands for itself and for its mem
bers." They add: "The union must not under

Touching the effect of discriminatory
lawlessness, boycotting and blacklisting.
the Commission states that during the
continuance of the late strike disorder
and lawlessness existed to some extent
over the whole region and throughout the
whole period. Continuing, the Commis
sion says:
"It Is admitted that this disorder and
lawlessness was Incident to the strike, its
record stained with riot and bloodshed,
culminating in three murders, unpro-
??KCQ' d u'e I" ?a.t two of the
victims were asserting tnelr right to
I "work, and another, as an officer of the
' law, was performing his duty in at-
tempting to preserve the peace. Men who I
chose to be employed or who remained
at work were threatened, and they and
their families terrorized and intimidated.
In several instances the houses of such
workmen were dynamited or otherwise
assailed, and lives of women and chil
dren put in Jeopardy. The armed guards
employed to protect the collieries and
men who worked them appear not to
have been air unnecessary precaution, and
the Governor of the state "was, as evi
dence before the Commission shows. Jus
tified in calling out the soldiers to pre
serve peace.
"Tho resentment expressed by many
persons over the presence of the armed
guards and militia of the state does not
rgue well for the peaceable chacter or
purpose of such persons. No peaceable or
law-abiding citizen has reason tq fear
or resent the presence of either.
"It is also true, and Justice requires
the statement, that the leaders of the or
ganization which began and conducted
the strike, and notably its president, con
demned all violence and exhorted their
followers to sobriety and moderation.
It would seem, however, that the sub
ordinate local organizations and their
leaders were not so amenable to such
counsels as to prevent the regrettable oc
currences to which reference haa been
made.
"In making this arraignment, we are
not unmindful of what appears to bo the
fact, that the mlneworkers. of the anthra
cite region are in the main well-dis
posed and good citizens of Pennsylvania,
and It is In the power of the minority of
the less responsible men and boys, to
gether with the Idle and vicious, unless
properly restrained, to destroy the peace
and good order of any community."
Boycotting? h. Crime.
Regarding the boycott, the Commission
said:
"What Is popularly known as the boy
cott (a word of evil omen and unhappy
origin) Is a form of coercion by which
combinations of many persons compel
others to abstain from social or business
Intercourse with a certain person or per
sons. Carried to the extent sometimes
practiced in aid of a strike, and as it
was in some instances practiced in con-
ection with the late anthracite strike.
it Is a cruel weapon of aggression, and
its use Immoral and anti-social, and the
concerted attempt to accomplish' It Is a
conspiracy at common law and merits
and should receive the punishment due to
such a crime."
FROM 3IINERS' STANDPOINT.
Jonrnal of Union Generally Satisfied
"With Commission's Award.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. March 21. S. M.
Sexton, editor of the United Mlnework
ers Journal, commented on the strike
Commission's report as follows:
There are parts of the decision that
will probably not suit the miners. The
10 per cent can be- taken, I suppose, as
being in favor of the miners, though per
centages are great delusions.
"One of the greatest points In favor of
the miner is the recommendation for -the
withdrawal of the coal and iron police.
who are responsible for most of the trou
ble that occurs in the mining regions.
rhe lessening of the working hours for
engineers, firemen and other workers Is
a great point In favor of the miners.
"The ruling against child labor, the
requirements that companies pay the la
borers of contract miners, the section in
which the Commission takes grounds
against a compulsory arbitration, the
employment of the check Welshmen and
the companies' collection of their pay, and
the distribution and regulation of cars are
favorable to the miners.
"The provision for the creation of a con
dilation board to settle points of disa
greement will generally meet with the
miners' hearty approval.
"Though the commission doesn't require
the operators to recognize the miners
organization. In the organization of this
board of conciliation the recognition of
the organization is assured. The commis
sion also suggests the recognition of the
organization in several places. The de
cision itself recognizes the organization.
These points at least are in favor of the
miners."
Mr. Sexton said that there would be
most radical dissension from the report of
the commission to the effect that the
social conditions were good. He con
tinued:
"There is at least one point in the de
cision that is In favor of the operators.
and that Is the sliding scale based on mar.
kets between Perth Amboy and tide
water. By the abridgement of the find
lng that I have, this will figure only i
half mill Increase on every 6 cents, and
not 1 per cent additional on the 10
per cent increase, making 11 per cent.
"By the decision It seems that the op
erators may combine to curtail the pro
ductlon of coal, but the miners cannot
without the consent of the operators."

NEW TORK, March 2L The miners of

He regards the question or paying min

fore the commissioners, and says their
neglect to meet this squarely will greatly
detract from the otherwise favorable re
ception with which the award will be re
ceived. I. H. Burns, counsel of the Independent
operators, said he regarded the award as
omlnentlv satisfactory. He found his
principal source of satisfaction In the
recommendation for boards of concilia
tion to Interpret the commission's find
ings. He believed that eventually tho
nonunion men will get representation on
these boards and thus strengthen their
position.
James F. Mullahy. one of the officials of

victories of organized labor, as it means

Additional Pay Due Miners Under the
Avrard.
WTLKESBAP.RE. Pa., March 2L
Roughly estimated, the 10 per cent In
crease granted the miners by the strike
commission will amount to nearly 53,000,000.
The miners have worked about 120 days
since November J. which Is the basis for
the above estimate. The coal companies
say they probably will have the accounts
of the men ready by April 1, and until
that date the amount cannot be definitely
stated. Because of the abnormal prices of
coal, it Is difficult to say what advance
the sliding scale will make. There is no
standard on which to base the calculation
because of the Increase of 50 cents a ton
made by the big coal companies last Fall.
Coal Miners Rejoice.

Contracted Diseases. . t
The progress in the study of chronic

treatment of these very freauent dls- 0
eases. There Is no chronic disease so
widespread and Its tenacity and re-
sUtance to all forms of treatment are '
features universally known. More than jf
five years ago we described the method
of dilatation which we have always since
employed, and which has been cradu-
ally adopted by the profession, we 9
have added few modifications since that a
time, but tho method has proven its 9
own worth In the hands of others, and. m
its results are lncontestible. Dllata- 0
