" ' CRUCIAL TEST IS TODAY ' Mayor Admits Militia May Be Need ed Mahoft Arrives to Restore i Peace Throwing of Bricks t'n abuted More Cars Run. BAN FRANCISCO. May 11. After wit nessing some of the disorderly scenes at i tending the operation of cars this after '.. noon and carefully observing the temper pf the erowdsv Governor Glllett, who ar rived from the South today to personally Investigate the local labor situation, held i conferences with many citizens and . officials. After holding separate con ' Terences with Mayor Schmitz, Presl Governor Glllett said: "If the local authorities are unable to ' restore and maintain order, I shall do so with the state militia. I informed Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Cornelius that the state was not interested in the dispute between the United Railroads and Its employes, . but that It Is Interested in preserving jpeace and maintaining law and order in ' San Francisco. I told Mr. Calhoun that. If the local authorities could not furnish adequate protection for the operation of liis cars, I will step In. with the state . troops to maintain order and put an end to rioting. Mr. Calhoun has not applied for the militia. . - ' t i Restore Order If Mayor Can't. 'In my conference with the Mayor I Informed Mr. Schmitz that I believed, if the police force of San Francisco was , given the proper encouragement by the Authorities, the police could control the situation. The Mayor said he would make very effort to enable the United Rail roads to operate cars and preserve peace, but that he might find It necessary to ask ' ror the assistance of the militia. "I asked President Cornelius, of the Carmen's Union, to use his influence ; In preventing the strikers and their ' sympathizers from committing violence ' and to assist the local authorities in maintaining law and order. I am not croing to take sides in this controversy, . but, if tho local authorities cannot cope with the conditions, I shall take charge and restore order independently of j them. I do not wish to reflect upon or interfere with the municipal au j thorities. unnecessarily, but law and i order must ; prevail and. if the local ( authorities cannot handle the situa ; tion, I will." , Crucial Test Cornea Today.

The police have made preparations even more elaborate than for today. Mahon Conies to Bring Peace. President W. D. Mahon, of the In ternational Street Railway Employes, 'arrived In the city shortly aft,er mid night. He has come to take charge of the carmen's strike. When seen to- tiitrht Mr. Mihon said: "I have come for peace, if peace can be secured. I have not yet had time or opportunity to acquaint myself with the situation." Mr. Mahon rose from a sick-bed at Hot Springs, Ark., where he had been very ill, and came' to San Francisco to direct the strike in response to the appeals of the carmen. President Cor nelius said tonight: "Mr. Calhoun says This whole thing is a farce.' This ex pression gives the people of San Fran cisco a very good insight into the dis position of Mr. Calhoun. It Is no farce, (. as far as the carmen are concerned. It Is a question of bread and butter for them and their families, and that Is never a matter of jest." Mr. Cornelius professed to be well satisfied with the situation. There is no change in the laundry or .Iron- workers' strike. General Super intendent Robinson of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company stated ' tonight that the company now has 200 Dperators at work. PASSENGERS TAKE RISKY RIDES More Cars Kan Amid Showers of Bricks, Jeers and Cheers. SAN FRANCISCO, May 11. For the Brat time since the commencement of the streetcar strike a week ago, the United Railroads today operated cars In passenger traffic. During the late hours of the forenoon and until 5 o'clock in the evening about 1000 men and women were carried. Only two of 20 lines composing the system were operated the Sutter and Eddy-street lines. . Ten cars were run, with five minute headway, from the carbarn at Turk and Fillmore streets east on Turk o the Intersection of Market and Eddy, west on Eddy to Devlsadero, south on Devlsadero to Turk, and thence to Fillmore. Fifteen cars were run from the barn at Oak and Broderick streets out Oak to Stanyon, on Stanyon to Page, oh Page to Devlsadero, on Devls adero to Sutter, on Sutter to Market and back again over the same route. One hundred and twenty-five non union ( motormen and conductors manned' these 25 cars. Police Not Equal to Occasion. About BOO policemen, few , of them 'mounted, guarded the streets over which the cars were operated. Acts of violence occurred at various points during the day, and hoots and jeers were mingled with cheers and shouts of approval, but no serious outbreaks featured this first actual attempt to resume the operation of cars. Never theless, the officials of the United Railroads expressed no elation at the 'day s results. They say that. If S00 policemen are required to make possi ble the carrying of passengers In 25 .cars over lines two miles long, they have no great hope that the 700 offi cers -composing the force will be able to safeguard 450 cars on the lines, 150 miles In length. Governor Begins Inquiry. ' One of the most important happen ings of the day was the arrival in the afternoon of Governor Glllett. who came from Los Angeles to personally Investigate the strike situation and de termine whether the calling out of the militia is required. The Governor soon alter, ills arrival held a conference in the Ferry building with Mayor Sohmltz, accompanied by some flame and conslder a ,i i i . f ra i t q nr. lt nTiriii RnS. ' aht Hmnkc occurred under car No. 1394 Adjutant-General Lauck, General Rob ert Wankowskl, commanding the Sev enth Regiment, National Guard, and a number of prominent citizens. Signed statements were received by the Gov ernor from -President Calhoun, of the United Railroads, and President Cor nelius, of the Carmen's Union, setting forth the respective sides of the con troversy. Subsequently, Mr. Calhoun had a private conference, which lasted over an hour. The Governor himself witnessed one of the day's acts of violence, in which union workmen in a building at Kear ney and Sutter streets bombarded the passenger-filled cars with stones and bricks. He expressed the opinion that, if the police were properly officered and did their duty, they would be able to cope with the situation. Bricks Thrown on Cars. Five cars were started from the Oak and Broderlck-street barn at 10 o'clock A. M.; five more from the Turk street barn at 10:30. All reached the junction of Eddy and Market without incident. There was no demonstration and very little throwing of bricks. All the cars carried a few passengers. Thornwall Mullally, assistant to Mr. Calhoun, rode on the first Sutter-street car. When the Sutter streetcars, five of them, reached Kearney street, the first troubled occurred. The windows of the 10-story Sherman & Clay building, par tialjy completed, were filled with work men. As the first car passed, a' shower of bricks descended upon it, thrown by worrkmen in the building. Then work men on the street began to hurl stones and bricks. A policeman with a drawn pistol entered the building and ar rested one man whom he saw throw a brick. Another officer caught a mortar-mixer, and arrested him. It was manifestly impossible to stop the brick-throwing unless an officer was posted in every window." So the po lice were compelled to stand and watch the bricks come out of the windows without making an effort to stop It. When the cars reached Market street, on Sutter, they turned back and ran the gauntlet again. . At the crossing of Kearney and Sutter streets three wagons, heavily laden with lumber. blocked the way. The drivers made apparent efforts to move their teams, but it was not until the police threat ened to club them that they got out of the way.' Again passing the Sherman & Clay building, the bombardment was repeated. All the cars carried passen gers, and though the bricks hit the tops of the cars, no one was hurt. Jeers and Cheers Mingled. All through the burned district the workmen left their work and jeered and hooted at the carmen. , Through the residence district the carmen were cheered and applauded. The police precautions along Sutter street were elaborate. Officers lined both sides of the street In the burned district, 12 to a block, and in the res idence portion two officers were posted at every corner. On one car, when It reached Sutter and Kearney streets, were several women, but their presence did not stop the shower of bricks. On Sutter street, near Mason, a couple of heavy iron girders were placed on the track, but the carmen succeeded in removing them after a short delay. At Halght and Devlsadero streets a switch was found to be filled with cement. . This also caused a short delay. Crowds lined the streets and "were collected at the principal intersections. There was as much and as frequent cheering, of the unarmed strikebreak ers manning the cars ' as there was hooting. . At Van Ness avenue and Eddy street a fire engine and hose wagon were sta tioned, presumably for use in quelling mob violence should the necessity arise. The first violence offered on the Turk and -Eddy street route was at Pierce and Turk streets on the first round trip. A stone thrown at that corner struck an Associated Press man .who was riding on the front platform of the foremost car. He was not Injured. Two passengers boarded the first car as it started from the barn. A union man stepped out of the crowd that filled the sidewalk and sought to persuade them to get off. The men paid no atten tion to the request. Four more pas sengers were picked up on the run down to Market street, and complained good naturedly when they found they could not ride further. No police were escorting the downtown cars today, but several hundred unmounted officers were stationed along Turk, Eddy and Devlsadero streets, lour and six to each block. Among them were a few specials in civilian dress. Police In Sympathy With Mob. At 3 P. M., 30 odd cars were running. The Sutter street line" was in opera tion, and hundreds of passengers were being carried, among them many women. The crowds were materially increasing in the streets and spasmodic acts of violence were indulged in at congested corners. Almost without exception the un mounted police aloag the route of opera tion oast of Devlsadero street are in ap parent sympathy with the strikers, if they may be judged by the fact that most of them make little or no effort to disperse the crowd. Stone-throwing sympathizers were pointed out to offi cers on Turk Btreet near Jefferson Square, on Eddy street at Fillmore and on Turk street at Pierce. In no Instance was any effort made to arrest the assailants. At Van Ness avenue and Eddy and at Turk and Fillmore, the crowds were ugliest. At the latter intersection during the fifth round-trip water pipes, timbers and paving blocks were strewn on the tracks under the eyes of the police, who made no attempt to deter this lawless ness or to arrest the guilty. Conductor Harry Lewis, of Chicago, ' who without protection jumped off his car and cleared away the obstructions, was made the target for bricks and stones. Three pa. trolmen looked on with smiling interest. Alter the string of six cars had passed, detail of mounted officers dashed up and dispersed the yelling mob. Abuse Rains on Passengers. Passengers were jeered at and called "scabs" for daring to ride on the cars. One business man named Fish was fol lowed by three union men when he alighted at Turk street and Webster. He was upbraided and . reviled for three blocks. Discovering that Fish was armed, the men gave up the pursuit. When Jeered for riding at Van Ness avenue, several business men retaliated toy shout ing "loaf era and hoodlums" at the crowds. At 3:30 o'clock the cars on the Sutter- street line were running on practically tnelr regular schedules. In many in- stances the cars were Jammed to their capacity and some carried passengers on their roofs. The police guards stationed at uniform intervals along Sutter street were gradually withdrawn. N Brickthrowers Driven Out. At Sutter and Kearney streets, the crowds gathered, continuing to interfere with the running of the cars. Several of those most prominent in the yelling and hooting at the strikebreakers and passeagers were clubbed by the police. One teamster, who refused to move on with his team, was dragged from his seat by the officers and jailed. Owing to the intermittent bombardment of bricks and other missiles from the ten-story Sherman & Clay building at this corner, several policemen finally invaded the upper floors and there were no further disturbances from this source. At o'clock quiet had been entirely restored In the vicinity., of Kearney and Sutter streets. , 6horily before soon a loud explosion, on Sutter street near Steiner. No dam age was done, though the car was de layed for several minutes by the great crowd which immediately collected. It Is evident that the explosive contained no dynamite, as at first reported, but was probably nothing more dangerous than a large bomb of the firecracker type. A large force of strikebreakers arrived here early this morning, and 400 of them were housed at the Valencia-street barn. The new men are under contract with the company for 3.50 a day, with board and lodging. The United Railroads announces that it has now in its employment and quar tered under Its care enough men to operate a majority of the lines in the city, and that more men are being steadily engaged. Knn Cars Farther Today. Tomorrow's programme is to. start the running of cars at 10 o'clock over the same lines as were operated today, with the exception that on Sutter street the cars will be pushed out farther into the burned district. It was apparent that Tuesday night's action of tho Labor Council in Issuing to will union men and their friends an official request to avoid the forming of crowds and to. refrain from acts of violence, had an effect today on the temper of the thousands of men who thronged the streets. It is likely that more cars will be operated tomorrow than were on the streets today. It is understood that the same police protection will be afforded that Is to say, 400 or 500 unmounted officers will be stationed, two and six to a block, along the routes, and a few mounted men will be on guard at the most Important street corners. There will be no police escort of the cars. HE IS THE SAME M0YER (Continued From First Pe.) tion in Denver on June 10, but had regis tered at a hotel under an assumed name. Mr. Kerwln stated that he expected he might be called as a witness for the de fense, if the prosecution developed any point upon which his testimony was needed. The attorneys for the state' de cided todav to summon him as one of their witnesses. Mr. Kerwln had started back to Denver, before the Deputy Sheriff reached him. The subpena was telegraphed ahead and served at a point near the Idaho line. Mr. Kerwin. it Is said, expressed his willingness to return whenever desired. His business relations with the prisoners, he also announced, would require his presence in Boise from time to time. GIRL WHO BETRAYED ORCHARD She Loved Him. but Duty Won In Mental Straggle. BOISE3. Idaho. May 11. One of the prln cipal witnesses for the prosecution in the trial of W. D. Haywood will be Miss Lizzie Velberg, a waitress at the Sara toga Hotel at Caldwell, to whom Harry Orchard had been making love while planning the assassination of Steunenberg and whose affection he had won. Orchard took a rifle to Caldwell. Almost daily he took the rifle and accom panied by the waitress went out for prac tice, as he said. In this way, especially on "account of being accompanied by the girl, he evaded suspicion on .account of carrying a rifle so often. The girl her self says that she had no suspicion that Orchard contemplated crime. The plan to shoot Steunenberg through a window.was-finally abandoned because Orchard feared he might kill the wife or some other member of the family, ac cording to the prosecution's evidence. Orchard Is said always to have con ducted himself as a gentleman toward Miss Volberg. He was usually genial and good natured. A few days before the mur der he grew gloomy and morose and, said lO ms iwcouiean: "You think me a good, fellow, but am not. Some time you may learn what villain and scoundrel I really am and despise me for all time." The girl thought his despondent man ner and sad words due to an attack of melancholia and laughed and teased him. When she heard of Steunenberg's murder the words of her sweetheart came to her mind -And an icy chill struck her heart. Half an hour after the murder Or chard came into the dining-room at the notel for his supper. He was pale and trembling, and kept his eyes on his plate. The girl was so nervous and agl. tatcd she was unable to speak. Not word was said by Orchard except in or dering dishes. He ate little and quickly left tne dining-room. The girl went to her room early, and getting down on her knees, begged God to point out the proper course for her to pursue. She spent almost the whole night praying. She slept not a wink, and by daylight was almost exhausted physically by her fearful mental strug gle, m But eho made her decision. With breaking heart she went to Joseph Hutchinson, former Lieutenant-Governor, and Andy Johnson, a Boise de tective and told them she believed the man she loved was the murderer of Steunenberg, and advised them to search his room. A key was procured from the Japanese chamoerman and the room searched. Bombs, powder, fuse and other incriminating evidence were discovered and Orchard was at once placed under arrest. EXPECTED MANY SENSATIONS Eastern Newspaper Men Disgusted to Find Boise an Orderly Town. BOISE, Idaho, May 11. (Special.) . Considerable disgust Is expressed by some of the newspaper men who have come from distant points. They ap pear to have thought they were coming to an armed camp, where sensations were likely to be constant, and they have been both surprised and disap pointed to find a community, as quiet as one in New England, and so perfect ly composed that no one uninformed would suspect anything of great im portance was going on here. Some of them have asked to be recalled, and expect to leave after "the Jury is em paneled. Sheriff Hodgin has gathered up 75 jurymen in the country districts and will fill out the panel' In town. '.He keeps the names to himself - closely, and nothing is known abcut the men he has summoned. - . Chicago Forbids Red Banners, CHICAGO, May 1L The Police Depart ment has- determined -that the proposed demonstration in behalf of MOyer and Haywood which the Socialists and labor unions of a socialistic leaning are getting up for May 19, shall be a peaceful affair. When a committee representing Abe Cook County Moyer-Haywood conference called on Chief Shippy yesterday It was not given a permit for the parade offhand. Later Chief Shippy intimated that a permit for the parade probably will be issued, but declared- he would not allow gatherings in the down-town, streets. While Chief Shippy would not confirm the report. It was said that a promise will be exacted from the Moyer-Haywood con-, ference people that no red banners or red flags be carrrled in the parade. The police also will Insist on excluding banners in scribed with phrases of an inflammatory character.

Sides in New York Trouble Plan for Long Struggle Police Are Called on to QueU Several Disturbances. NEW YORK, May 11. Today's events indicate that the crisis in the long shoremen's strike is approaching. The 10,000 or 12,000 men who- are out are apparently nearlng the limit of their patience, and both sides are awaiting what promises to be a long struggle. The police are ready to quell any riot ing. The steamships Umbria, Koenlgln Luise and Vaderland got away on time today. The Carmania, scheduled to sail, is still here, a riot on the pier this morning driving away all the strike breakers who were at work on the vessel. Steamship lines declare, if they are not able to secure the required num ber of men here to handle the cargoes. their ships will be diverted to other ports. Sticks and stones flew thick in the fight between a dozen strikebreakers and 100 striking longshoremen at the foot of West Twenty-fourth street. Twq of the strikebreakers were in jured. - The police arrived upon the scene in the height of the battle and had to use their sticks freely before they could quell the disturbance. The uniforms of several policemen were torn and their caps were knocked off in the fight. The Italians went on with their work, with policemen stand- ' ing guard over them. - A group of men wno had become restive as a result of the struggle, descended upon gang of strikebreakers at work upon the Italian line pier at the foot of Vfeat Thirty-fourth street today. The reserves from a near-by police station who were hurriedly summoned had their hands full before the fight was settled. One of the strikebreakers was badly beaten and a number f others were hurt. No arrests were made and Immediately afterward quiet was restored. All but six of the strikebreakers quit work. Arbitration is, being broached to end the strike, but there is little hope as yet of any negotiations being entered Into by the parties to the controversy. The Na tional Civic Federation has been sounding the representatives of the steamship com panies and the strikers leaders, but its efforts have been almost negative. The railroads also are in a predicament, s tons of freight, especially of grain consigned to them for shipment from here, Is traveling to New York and the conges tion here Is already so great that It Is a question what shall be done with these incoming goods. European houses are flooding- firms here with Inquiries about expected shipments. STRIKE AT DENVER UNSETTLED Final Attempt of MIHmen to Adjust Difficulties Fails. DENVER, May 11. At a final conference tonight between the mlllowners and the striking millmen of this city, it was made manifest that there was no middle ground on which the employers and the men could meet. The millmen accepted- the offer of the mlllowners in part but in sisted on a minimum wage scale of 38 cents an hour. Negotiations are at an end and it Is now evident from the attitude assumed by the mlllowners that the strike, which was called on May 1, must run its na tural course. Ultimatum to Strikers. NEW YORK, May 11. General Manager Gerkrecht, of the Havemeyer Sugar Re fining Company, Williamsburg, has deliv ered to the striking laborers the 4 com pany's ultimatum. He offered a com promise rate of pay, meeting the demands of the strikers half way, and in the event of their not accepting the rate, he threat ened to close down the works, throwing between 6000 and 6000 men out of work. The strikers, who number about 2000, are all foreigners, Poles, and Lithuan ians. They, have appointed a committee to confer with the refining officials in an endeavor to secure better terms. DEATH MARS EXCURSION (Continued From First Page.) the wreck arrived here at 1:30 this morn ing. The dead were immediately removed to the local undertaking parlors. This train was expected to return to Santa Barbara at 9 P. M. yesterday, but was held several hours at El wood, a siding. while several eastbound Shriner specials went by. ' Physicians (and others returning on this train say that when they' arrived at the scene of the wreck the Injured had al ready been taken on board the special for San Luis Obispo. They confirmed the report that six of the more seriously injured died, while on the way to the latter place. ' FOUR CARS . SMASHED TO BITS Passengers ' Hurled Over Engine, Burned, Scalded, Mangled. LOMPOC, Cal., May 11. A terrible wreck , occurred between 3 .and 1 o'clock this afternoon on the coast line of the Southern- Pacific Railroad five miles south of Surf, in which probably a score of passenger were killed -and 18, more or less seriously injured. The train was a special loaded with Shrlners who were on: their way from Los Angeles to their homes In the East. The train consisted of six coaches. '..-.'".' "WTjHe running at a high rate of speed a wheel-on the engine- broke and the locomotive Jumped the track and turned over. .. Four of the front cars of the train, followed it and - were literally smashed to pieces. The dead and Injured" were thrown In every direction. Burned, Scalded, Mutilated. The train caught fire Immediately after the wreck, but was extinguished by pas sengers of the two rear coaches, who were uninjured.- The, cars were hurled all over the engine, and many of the pas sengers were burned and scalded to death by escaping steam. Some of them were mutilated beyond recognition. The first man to reach .Lompoo from the scene of the wreck, a few minutes before 9 o'clock tonight, said that he had counted 10 dead who had been taken from the- wreckage and laid beside the 4 track. A eeora or mora were terribly in, lured. Many others received less serious hurts. The wreck occurred on a level stretch of track, very near the beach. The roadbed Is of sand at this point and the broken cars ploughed into it and were half burled In it. The fireman escaped alive, although Injured. The engineer was hurt about the head and wandered down the track in a dazed condition to ward the town of Surf, five miles dis tant. He had almost reached that place when overtaken and carried back to the scene of the wreck. A' wrecking train had reached the spot from Santa Barbara with a large number of physicians and nurses on board. The injured were being given immediate at tention. They were plaeed with all speed on the train, to be taken either to Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo. INJURED DIE ON RELIEF TRAIN Carloads From Wreck Tended by Masons and Citizens. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal., May 11. At 8:30 o'clock a special train arrived here, bringing two cars containing ten dead bodies and between 20 and 30 wounded from the scene' of the wreck at . Honda. Passengers who accompanied the train and who were injured slightly or not at all assert that the number of dead ex ceeds 21 and that the total will be in the neighborhood of 2S. Five of the injured passengers died on the way to this place and others are hurt so badly that death Is but a matter of hours. The Masons of this city had organized a relief corps before the arrival of the train, and' the injured were hurried to the hospitals and private residences, where preparations have been made for their reception. Trainmen who came from the scene of the wreck affirm It is one of the worst in the history of the Coast line. Three cars crowded with passengers and diner were completely . demolished,' to gether with two or tlfree baggage cars, The latter were piled on top of the en gine. - According to the statements of sur vivors, Shrlners from Buffalo, Rochester and Reading, Pa., were among the great est sufferers. Many of the dead were so badly scalded that they were unrecog nizable. Conductor Austin Is reported killed, a brakeman is missing and an en glneer has a broken leg. The wrecked train is said to have been the Ismallia special, carrying Shrlners from New York and Pennsylvania. The dead and wounded, with few ex ceptions, are badly scalded and burned, some of the bodies being frightfully dis figured.

For 16 years 1 have been proving my ability and building my success. I have mastered first the simpler diseases, then the serious com plex and stubborn ones that others neither cure nor comprehend. I have confined my efforts to diseases of men exclusively, and there is no ailment belonging to this class that I cannot fully conquer. I make broad and definite claims. I tell men that I can cure them, even though others have failed. Jealous doctors have charged me with claim ing too much. But I ask wherein have I failed to fulfill a promise T My practice is row fully twice that of any other specialist upon the Pacific Coast treating men's dis eases. It has grown to these dimensions be cause I have made promises and fulfilled them.
