City of Seattle Capitulates to

HALF MILLION PEOPLE THERE

SEATTLE, May 23.-The city of
Seattle, sitting on her seven hills,
capitulated today to the fleet of bat
tlcshjps under command of Rear-
Admiral sperry. i ne gates 01 me city
were thrown open, and the Admiral
given the key, made of Alaska gold.
As the fleet came into sight round
Point No Point, it was caught sight
of by half a million people assembled
on the heights, terraces and high
buildings overlooking Elliott Bay,
Ballard Beach, Queen Anne Hill,
Kinnear Park, and the shore of bay
were dark with people. The city's
normal population of a quarter of a
million was augmented by an equal
number from Montana, Idaho,, Ore
gon and interior Washington and
even from across the Canadian boun
dary. At 9 o'clock this morning the
different divisions reunited at Fort
Townsend. Forming a single line the
reassembled fleet began the advance
n Seattle in precision. As the flag
ship arrived off West Point, it was
met by a flotilla of excursion boats
who turned and followed in its wake
as it rounded the forested points of
jutting land. Nearing the city the
steamer Umatilla, carrying the recep
tion commitee, came abreast of the
Connecticut and turned and escorted
Iier to anchorage ground, while hun
dreds of boat in the welcoming
flotilla formed into double lines and
escorted the remainder of the fleet
into the harbor. The reception com
mittee headed by Mayor Miller, board
ed the Connecticut and officially as
sored Admiral Sperry of his welcome
to the city. Tonight every ship in
the fleet is outlined from the mast
lead to waterline in electric lights and
the Japanese residents are displaying
novel fireworks. The only official
ceremony tonight was the reception
to the officers at the New Washing
on Hotel.
Pacific northwest have found dog
wood valueless except for fuel, and its
utilization for the manufacture of
shuttles will bring about a consider
able increase in stumpagc values of
this tree.
These companies, at their Oregon
plants, will not only manufacture the
articles named but will utilize every
part of the tree turning to account
the waste wood and producing such
by-products as pyroligenous acid.
acetic acid, portacctate of iron, ace
tate of lime, methylated spirits, sol
vent naphtha, wood tar, wood pitch.
and various forms of charcoal. Dog
wood is indispensable in the manufac
ture of shuttles, bobbins and spindles
because it is the only wood which
takes a high polish and wears per
fectly smooth by friction under
water.
The discovery of the adaptability of
the Pacific dogwood, however, has
not aided the eastern manufacturers,
and they have been obliged to look
for substitutes nearer home. The most
promising of these are mesquitc and
tupelo gum. The wood of the mes
quitc is heavy and very hard, close
grained, and has a compact structure
It is probable that it would be emi
nently adapted for the manufacture of
shuttle blocks, as it appears to have
all the requisite qualities of weight.
hardness, and susceptibility to a high
smooth polish. Already it has proven
well fitted for the manufacture of
spools and bobbins for which white
birch is now so largely used. The
tupelo gum is medium hard and heavy
and has a compact fibrous structure.
It has not yet been utilized to much
extent in the textile industries, though
it is quite probable it will play an im
portant part in the future, since it
combines with several necessary
qualities the exacting property of
wearing smooth by friction.
The 1908 man knows that a cheap suit is dear at any price
and he also knows that

DOGWOOD NEARLY EXTINCT.
Another Supply Found in Northwest

The supply of dogwood and per
simmon shuttles ' in the Southern
states is nearly exhausted. 1 his
statement will not appear significant
to the average man when he first hears
it But when he is told that the en
tire supply of shuttles, bobbins and
spindles used in the cotton and wool
en mills in all parts of the country is
furnished by the dogwood and per
Simmon growing in the Southern
States, the seriousness of the situa
lion is apparent. The textile mills of
the country represent a 'capitalization
of nearly a billion dollars and bob
bins, shuttles, and spindles are just
as necessary parts of these mills as
the throttle is to the locomotive.
Fortunately the shuttle manufactur
ers have found another source of
supply in the dogwood stands in the
far northwest part of the country.
Two large companies manufacturing
spindles, shuttles, and bobbins have
erected plants in the Cascades in
Oregon, whose dogwood forests are
the greatest in the world, the tree of
ten attaining a height of 75 feet and
a diameter of one to two feet. The
southern dogwood is rarely more than
six inches in diameter. Extensive ;
stands of dogwood are also found in
California and Washington. Up to

CLEVELAND, May 23.-Marked
by a night of absolute quite in con
trast with the violence of the preced
ing 24 hours, negotiations for peace
in the street car strike.
The declination of Glenn K. Shur
liff to act as third arbitrator brought
on the necessity ot the selection of a
new name to complete the proposed
arbitration board. Only the matter
of disposition of the men pending
the arbration proceedings prevented a
vote being taken of the striking men,
last night on the arbitration articles.
President Dupant refused to ac
cept Arbitrator Avery's suggestion
that the strikers, pending arbitration,
take their old positions. An alterna
tive suggestion that the arbitration
board at once decided the nosition of
tlje men during arbitration was also
rejected by President JJupont ot the
Street Railway Company, The com-"
pany formulated articles of submis
sion to arbitration to go to the men
today. Together with a counter-proposition
that oendinc arbitratin. enoueh
men to compelte the service will be
taken, those hired losing their senior
ity. It is the opinion of Vice-President
Bchncr and President Farahsy
of the local union that the men will
emphatically vote down the arbitra
tion proposal of the company. Vote
will be taken today. The men will
vote "yes" or '"no" upon a proposition
to submit to full arbitration their

cure consideration of his resolution
providing for an amendment of the
constitution for election of Senators
by direct vote of the people, but a mo
tion to send the resolution to a com
mittee on privileges and elections was
carried by a vote of 33 to 20.
The Senate at 5:30 adjourned until
8 o'clock tonight at which session
was held for exclusive purpose of con
sidering the conference reports and
such measures as could be taken up

his belief was that Congress would
