New York, Marcji 7. It waa planned
by the union leaders that the metij
should leave work as fast as they
reached the terminals and no runs
were to be atarted after 4 o'clock.
Traffic on the down town tracks of
the subway and evelated lines came to
a halt, therefore, at that hour.
In the subway the first crew to strike
was one which arrived at the One Hun'
dred and Fifty-seventh street station
of the Broadway branch at 3:48. The
train was run over to tbe downtown
track and came, to a stop. "Walking
to the dispatcher's office the motor
man handed In his controller. With
him wenttbe-conductor . and four
guards. No attempt was made
start the train, and no non-union men
were visible.
Hundreds of policemen were on
auard at the stations of the Interbor
jough company at 4 o'clock. There were
two on each platform uptown while
at each downtown and terminal tta
tlon a dozen or so were visible.
During the early hours of the morn

been sent to everV man In the employ
of all the Interborough roads one hour
after the decision had been reached.
The ticket sellers were In somewhat
of a ouadary, aa they are all undet
bond, and leaving their posts without
relief meant tha forfeiting of these
bonds. Some of the agents were In
structed to turn over their money and
tickets to other agents at given points.
There were busy scenes early this
morning about the stables and storage
houses of the New York City railway
while officials said they were prepar
lng for the time of their lives when
the rush of workers set In for the
downtown district. Even the open
summer cars were drawn out and pre
pared for operation. Every wheel In
the company's possession was made
ready for Instant use. Car cleaners
were hustled from their beds, and
large squad of new men was engaged
to aid In the work. . ,
Quarters for strike breakers on the
west side lines were arranged during
the night in the car barns at One Hun
dred and Forty-fifth street and Sev

and Forty-seventh street and Texlng

CASCARET CAPSULES

Poison.
CAUSE DELAY OF REPORT
Cascaret Capsules Which Wer Given
Mrs. Stanford by Her Private Sc
restary War Found to Contain .
Strychnin Poison. '
San Francisco, March 7. The Call
publishes a dispatch from Honolulu
which says that the reason for the fail
ure of the chemists to make their re
port last night of the analysis of Mrs.
Stanford's stomach was the startling
discovery that the cascaret capsules,
one of which Mrs. Stanford took at
the same time she took the bicarbon
ate of soda on the night ot her death.
also contained strychnine. "
The chemists had finished the an
alysis of all organs of the body when
they were unexpectedly called on to
test the cascara capcules. These were
kept by Miss Berner. She gave one to
Mrs. Stanford at the same time the
dose of bicarbonate of sode waa pre-,
pared. -
On being analysed the cascara were
found to contain nux vomica or strych
nine. The apparent difficulty of de
termining which might have caused
death placed the chemists in a pecul
iar predicament.
Miss Berner, when questioned about
these capsules, explained that they
were prescribed many years ago by a
San Francisco physician.
