400 POLICE DETAILED
Few Cars Arc Running and the Peo
ple Arc Dependent on a
Wagon Service.
San Francisco, May 10. Tho
street car strike has developed Into
a flght to a finish. Neither side Is
willing to accept arbitration, and a
citizens' committee appointed to tie
cure industrial peace was unable to
find any basis for settlement. It has
been demonstrated that the present
police force is inadequate, and that
stronger measures are necessary to
Insure a general resumption of ser
vice, if the struggle is conducted on
tho present lines. Several cars were
run, accompanied by police on carj
and In automobiles. No violence was
offered. On another trip the cars
were unaccompanied, and the objects
of attacks by missiles, and several
persons were injured. The mayor
and chief of police' claim the policy
are competent to cope with the situ
ation. Meanwhile the public must
walk or pay five prices for desultory1
wagon service.
Reduced to an arithmetical aspect,
the problem is this: If fifty police
are required to afford safe conduct
to two street cars daily over six mile?
of tracks when no passengers are
carried, how shall 200 cars be oper
ated with passenger traffic over 250
miles of tracks with a total force of
only seven hundred police. During
a portion of the trip the cars today
were showered with flowers . from
windows in a hotel. They were
picked up and distributed among tho
strikebreakers.
Governor Gillette left Los Angele3
today to come to San Francisco and
personally investigate the labor con
ditions, and determine whether it is
necessary to order out the staie
troops and preserve peace during tho
Industrial struggle now In progress.
The railroad company announced to
night that it will attempt to operate
cars on a more extensive scale co
morrow. Four hundred police havo
been detailed into tho district
through which the cars run.

Messina, May 10. The crap-
tion of Mount Stromlioli was 4
violent today, and apprehension
is felt. The violence of the
eruption is said to be without
precedent, even the oldest in-
habitant not remembering such 4
threatening conditions. Nearly 4
all the inhabitants have made i
4 their escape. O
Ashes from the volcano have 4
destroyed everything on the 4
island. At the same time the
activity of Mount Etna on the 4
4 northern coast of Sicily hns in-
creased. People living in the 4
vicinity arc panic stricken, and 4
are flocking to the churched to 4
pray for isfrccssion and pro-
tcctlos.

hicle. Within a dozen miles of this
city are to be, viewed many pictur
esquely beautiful spots spots where
nature alone has created the shad
nook, the placid lake, tho worn and
roughened cliff, while in the fore
ground the ceaseless waves tosj
their sun-rays here and there. Every
highway and every glade is bright
with brilliant flowers while the un
cleared spots are filled with the
odors of growing berries.
And this trip, aside from the scou
ic attractions, will show the observ
ant one the amount of Improvements
which push and progress can ac
complish In a comparatively short
time. It will prove to him that mi
der proper Incentives a community
can be brought into conspicuous
prominence with almost the hpeid
of the famed Alladdln's lamp.

community is held back till tho r-s-ldents
lose hope and ambition.
By all means urge visitors to view
all of the easily accessible portions
of this county before departing for
their homes. Let all resources be
shown. Let all districts be exploit
ed. Varied minds require varied lo
calities yet what builds up one por
tion of the county aids and helps the
whole.
INTERESTED ONE.
FINE OPPORTUNITY HERE.
Turpentine Plant Is Said to Be Rich
Product.
There is a splendid opportunity
for the location of a turpentine plant
In this county, and some private cap
ital could be well Invested in such an
enterprise. There are untold quan
tities of this valuable product going
to waste each day.
No one, even the consumers, seems
to have brought the matter to the
attention of those who are anxious
for new enterprises. It remains for
outsiders to suggest that such a
plant would be a valuable acquisi
tion, and urge that steps bo taken
to secure figures in the matter,
