Although on the retired list and no
longer a member of the United States

under orders was - demonstrated by a
brief and , evidently a commonplace in
cident that occurred just as the reporter
was leaving the Admiral's parlor. It
was when Mrs. Schley entered and
walked determinedly toward the brave

ADMIRAL MEETS
AN OLD FRIEND
(By K. K. K.)
One or the most pleasant scenes so
far on the visit of Rear Admiral Schley
to Portland was the meeting of the old
veteran and his old-time friend, X. L.
Shafer of this city, on the floors of the
Hotel Portland.
BUFFALO, "March So A
story, tending to still further
responsibility for the murder of Burdlck
on the head of 4es4 Arthur Pennell, was
told on the witness stand this morning
when the inquest-was reopened.
"X have that wtthia me that would
make me km. if I Went to the gallows
fo itl"
That was what Pehnell aald when he
entered a barroom one morning and was
talking to the bartender. The man who
ve this testimony was James gulnn.
When the. Inquest opened this morn
ing the court room" was crowded with
the usual aggregation of fashionable
women who craned their necks eagerly
to hear the testimony.
Qulnn took the stand and told about
a card, bearing the Bli-ture of PvnnWl.
which Burdlck had handed to him on
one occasion. The likeness was unmis
takable. He Identified the picture.
On one occasion, when Peruiell came
Into the burroom he asked the bartender
and the cashier. King, to drink with
him. He seemed to be under a high
tension. He said: , '
"I have that within me that makes
me feel that I could kill. If I went to
the gallows for It." I am now having
the happiest days of my life and at the
expense of some one else.
Cashier King offered a toast: "Here's
to the friends we love best."
To this PenneU reloaded with the
following toast:
"Here's to Death."
When Pennell came into the barroom
the following morning he had very lit
tle to say. He bade them both good-by
and went out.
Cashier King was placed on the stand
and corroborated Qulnn's evidence.
At the end of this testimony
Judge declared the inquest closed.

"Hello, Shafer! Are you living here

warmly aa he approached his old-time

prefer the great Paciflc Northwest to
the Middle West, do you?" continued the
officer.
"Yes, Admiral, many of them are com

they always stay by the flag, wherever

I am sorry of this rain. Admiral. We

, 'Oh. I don't mind it," replied the
manipulator of battleships.
Reac Admiral Schley was. dressed In
a neat-flttlng citlsen's suit, and one could
not have distinguished him from the
average man In tne hotel lobby but for
the famous out of his beard. That
would give him away anywhere.

marked a bystander. "No pomp, no feel

TACOMA. March 30. Six strikers re
turned to the employment of the Taooraa
Railway Power Company, yesterday
and the officials claim that the back
bone of the strike Is broken. They ex
pected that a number of former employes
would ask for reinstatement today. The
company is having no difficulty In operat
ing .its cars and since the union men
have been unabl to eitect a complete
tie-up of the street car system their
strength is being gradually undermined
by the efforts of the company and the
double pay offered employes during strike
time.
Snnnlng All Oars.
Yesterday for the first time since the
trouble began the company ran the usual
number of cars on every line In the
city. The first attempt at a night serv
ice was made Friday night, when one
can ran without any molestation until
a late hour on the North Tacoma line.
Saturday night there were no night cars,
owing to the labor demonstration, which,
however, passed oft without Incident or
disturbance. Last night one car was
run on nearly every-' suburban line, and
on several city lines until 11 o clock.
The officials say that tbey will have the
regular night servloe this evening on
11 lines.
The strikers are being commended on
all sides for the order they have pre
served since the Inauguration of the
strike. The company's property has not
been destroyed In any instance, and such
overt acts as have been committed have
been the work of strike sympathisers.
Mayor Campbell. In a speech at the labor
meeting Saturday night, thanked the
strikers for the assistance they have
given the police department In preserving
order. i "
The few strikers who have asked to
be taken back by the company have been
received with ppea arms, in- pltf the
statement Issued last week that the
men who voluntarily left the firm's em.
ploy would have to seek new Jobs. The
local officers now say, however, that
the men will be employed again, with
the exception of those known to be
most prominent In the unlunlalng move
ment. They further state that all men
put back on the payroll will be sched
uled the same as new men, receiving the
same wages as if . entering the com
pany's employ for the first time and
working up the soale to the wages paid
them at ths time of going out.

Otherwise there Is no change In' th

remain firm, the. one demanding recce
