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.
As thousands of striker sympathizers
: "will be, idle the effort to run "car's to
1 morrow; It is generally .considered, will
. be the crucial .test of the tern car of
i the crowds wtkfch will determine' the
j calling out of troops. The Governor
j will remain In' the ty to personally
watch" the events of the day. , Should
. rioting and the stoning of cars again
' be indulged-in,, in- spite of the efforts
; of the police, there .is little doubt. that
; the Governor will - intervene and take
r charge of the situation. 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.

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

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

POLICE READY FOR A RIOT
Both . 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.

FOUR CARS . SMASHED TO BITS
Passengers ' Hurled Over Engine,
Burned, Scalded, Mangled.
LOMPOC, Cal., May 11. A terrible

II CURE MEN
: I Have the Largest Practice
: Because I Invariably Ful-
fill My Promises'
Success isn't attained at a bound. It Is
made up of many little triumphs. A large
medicfc.1 practice doesn't await the young
physician" at the college door. He must
prove himself. He must work toward suc
cess day after day,- doing well each day's
tasks.
It has always been my rule to promise
nothfne; that I am not absolutely certain of
accomplishing. Realizing that no one physi
cian can successfully undertake to cure all
diseases, I entered special courses of study
In preparation for my present work. 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. Each cure I have effected is a triumph
and a manifestation of skill that has had
its part in the making of my success. Each
day new cures are completed and my present
growth of practice Is more rapid than ever
before.
Consultation is free. If you are afflicted
consult me. Tou can rely upon what I tell
you, and If I accept your case you can rest
assured that a complete and permanent cure
will follow my treatment.

Chicago Carmen Demand Advance.
CHICAGO, May 11. The Chicago City
Railway Company is confronted with a
demand for an increase In wages grow
ing out of the recent city election. The
company then promised if the traction
ordinance carried, to raise wages to 21
cents an hour for experienced men. A
majority of the union now demands a
scale ranging from 25 to 33 1-3 cents an
hour, while the company offers from 23
to 27 cents, the existing scale being 19
to 25 cents. The union also demands a
closed shop on the South Side lines and
a 10 per cent Increase for shopmen. Con
ferences are now being held.

Weakness
ft
To produce temporary
activity of the functions
in cases of so-called weak
ness is a simple matter,
but to permanently restore
strength and vigor Is a
problem that but few phy
sicians have solved. I never
treat for temporary effects.
Under my system of treat
ment every bit of Improve
ment is a part of a perma
nent cure. Though other
phf-slclans nave, through
my success in effecting
permanent cures, been con
vinced . of the fact that
prematureness. loss o
power, etc., are but symp
toms resulting from
chronic Inflammation or
congestion In the prostate
gland, none have as yet
been able to duplicate my
cures. My system of local
treatment is the only effec
tive means yet known for
restoring the prostate to
its normal state, which al
ways results In full and
complete return of
strength and vigor. Such
a curs is absolutely perma
nent, because the condition
responsible for the .func
tional disorder is entirely
removed. It is the only
kind of a cure a patient
desires, and is the only
kind of cure I will treat
for.
Consultation Free
I state nothing in my
announcements but the
straight, square truth. It
will cost you nothing to
call' arid talk over your
case. You can find out all
ab6ut your trouble and
you . can later arrange to
begin treatment any time
you like. My offices, com
prising ten rooms, are: the
largest, most elegant and
best equipped in the West.
