So Says President Small of the
Telegraphers Union, Who Is
Now in New York.
OUT OF THE QUESTION
AT THE PRESENT TIME
Says Companies. Are in Worse
Condition than at Any Time
Since Strike Started Wes
tern Union Defiant.
By Associated Press.
NEW YOKK, August 20. President
Small of the. telegraphers union de
clared today that arbitration of the
telegraphers' strike at presont is out
of the question. Ho added that the
strikors arc propared to remain out
two mouths. Ho said tho executive
board of tho American Federation of
Labor will shortly consider tho federa
tion's relation to tho strike.
Small assorted that tho companies'
onditions are worse than when the
strike begun and that half of tho West
orn Union force here failed to report
for work aftor Friday, when double
pay was abolished.
Superintendent Brooks of the "West
ern Union said:
"Our company will have nothing to
lo with Small or his union. Whilo we
are willing jto consider individual cases
tho men who struck under prossuro of
tho agitators who engineered the situa
tion will not be re-employed under any

ON GILA VALLEY
Passengers Stalled at Bowie
While Washouts Are Re
paired on the Line
Traffic on the Gila Valley, Globe &
Northern railroad has been in a very
rippled state during the last twodnys.
Sunday morning the passenger train left
here on time, but only reached a point
about twenty miles from Globe. Heavy
rams had washed out embankments and
a small bridge had taken its leave with
out notifying Superintendent Mallard.
The train returned to Globo within a
few hours after leaving and started out
again at fl-SO in tho evening, reaching
Bowie nt 11 o'clock.
Those who were waiting at Bowie
for the Globo train suffered more than
the outgoing passongors. Tho train
from tho west brought a largo number
jf people who had been spending vaca
tions on tho coast. They arrived at
Bowie shortly after 10 o'clock. Ah is
well known to the traveling public,
Bowie lacks many things that go to
making a long stopover anything like a
pleasure and tho wait until the regular
tune for leaving of the Globe train is
not exactly conducive to good nature.
The seating capacity of Bowio is some
what limited, especially when there ia
onsiderablo freight on tho platform,
the bench in front of the eating house
s carrying n "bad order" sign and
'lie grass in the back yard is almost im
perceptible to the naked eye.
Various and sundry bulletins in
firmed tho waiting travelers that the
'Iobo train would depart nt 5, 8, 11
tml midnight. Tho train got in at 11
nd then it was announced that it would
t leave until morning (S. P. timoj.
Then tho scramble-' for beds began and
he supply in tho railroad hotel was
"on exhausted. A dozen travelers wero
aken to another hotel and these- unfor-
mates arrived in Globo last niglit, not
.iving been called beforo tho train dc-
arted, some time before daybreak
Olobo timo).
A train left Globo yesterday morning
the regular leaving hour and tho rc-
irning train reached horo about 11
clock with a very much disgusted load
f passengers. Tho train last night was
uly an hour late.
When asked last evening how tho
rain scrvico would bo today, Super
ntendent Mallard indignantly denied
hat ho was a weather prophot. In tho
neantimo the poor littlo sixteon-candlo
ower lamp continues to furnish tho
nly illumination at tho Globo depot.
An Error Corrected
A misstatement was made in Sun-
iy's Sillver Belt regarding tho sale
f tho Mountain View saloon by It. H.
aniel. Thomas Donovan, who is a
ember of tho firm of Donovan, Davis
Co., who are now in possession, is
half owner in tho Daniel property
nd Mr. Davis has taken a lease on
'anieljs interest. Tho stock of tho
iloon was sold to tho firm.
Acmo Changes Hands
IT. S. Duncan, formerly deputy sheriff,
d Stove Boohm, have purchased tho
cine cafo and bar and aro now in
-'ssossion. Both have excellent reputa
ons as business men and should do
ell in their now venture.

Stand Y.esterday
By Associated Press. .
SAN FRANGISQO, Cal., August 20.
.Secrotary and Treasurer F. W?Eaton
of tho Pacific States company was&e
called today at tho Glass trial and
cleared up tho itemization discrepancy
if $50,000 in tho minutes of tho board
of directors by a statement of clerical
error, pointing to tho correctness of tho
footings.
President Scott resumed tho stand,
and under redirect examination the pro
jocntion recovered, much of tho ground
lost at tho morning session by contra
dictious wrung from Scott by Dolums.
It- wns shown,- (or instavee, thru, his
testimony at the former trial of Glass
to tho effect that Scott had not taken
.ip his duties as president until after
his return from tho cast six weeks sub
sequent to tho lastof the alleged bri
beries, was substantially true; that al
though ho did priorly attend Thcctings
of tho executive committee and preside
over them, these wero purely formal
acts and did not partake of a general
management of affairs.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
session, Judge Lawler put his decisions
off until Friday on tho pending motions,
for dismissal, for the setting aside of
the indictments and the staying of pro
ceedings in tho other cases against
Glnss, Calhoun, Mullally, Schmitz, Ford,

LOS ANGHLKS, Cal., August 20.
Hicardo Florcs Magon, Antonio Villn
real and Librndo ltiviera, tho -three
Mexicans arrested hero last week in
dicted charges of conspiracy against
the Mexican government, wero arraign
ed beforo Justico Frederickson today
and two word held in the sum of $1,000
bail on a formal charge of resisting a
lolico officer.
Villarcal is charged with being a
fugitive from justice and is held with
out bail. It is charged that he broke
jail at Kl Puso while being held for
extradition to Mexico.
Justico Frederickson hold court dur
ing tho noon hour today in order that
charges might bo filed ngainst tho men
beforo habeas corpus proceedings which
they instituted could be heard this af
ternoon. Tho attornoy for tho Mexican
vice consul stated that ho would not
discuss the caso further than to Ray
that tho state departments of Mexico
and tho United States had taken tho
cases up. Ho expected papers warrant
ling further procedure against tho men
to arrive from Washington within a few
days.
The men are held in secret solitary
confinement. They are allowed to see
no one excepting their attorney. Vis
itors word denied admittance this morn
ing. Four Mexican women became in
dignant nt such treatment and created
a sccno at tho station house.
Whero Raid Was Mado
Tho arrest of fpur prominent Mex
icans of this city Inst evening on
charges of conspiracy ngainst the Diaz
government of Mexico, may prove of
no consequence, says a dispatch of
last week.. Enrique Crccb, embassa
dor to tho United States from Mexico,
arrived at tho Alexandria hotel this
morning from Canada, where ho lias
been studying emigration and irrigu
tion.
"I know of no charges ngainst these
men by the Mexican government," said
Creel, "although they may be prose
cuted by the United States for viola
tion of tho neutrality laws. I have
nothing to do with tho case."
Creel stated that he wns on his way
to tho state of Chihuahua, where he
was recently chosen governor. He stat
ed that he would at once assume the
duties of that office, and that the mat
ter of his return to Washington rested
entirely with President Diaz.
Tho mon under arrest are members
of a junta, an organization which ad
vocates n revolution against tho present
government of Mexico. Thoy nro Hi
cardo Florcs Magon, president of the
junta; Librado Liviera, secretary; Mo
desto Dias, editor of La Rcvolucion, and
Antonio Vilarcal. Tho latter escaped
from United States officials at Kl Paso
while awaiting deportation to Mexico
on a charge of inciting a revolution at
Cannnea. Whilo tho Mexican govern
merit may not care to press tho charges
of inciting a revolution against him, he
is charged with committing a murder
in tho southern republic, and there can
bo no doubt that a strong effort will bo
made to get him into Mexico. Ho es
caped from tho United Slates govern
ment official at El Paso by running
to tho street and disappearing while
tho officer was in a telegraph office.
Iticardo Florcs Magon is tho real head
of the Mexican revolutionist movement.
It wns letters written by Magon to some
of his lieutenants in Douglas, Ariz.,
which wero captured by tho Arizona
authorities and used in proceedings
ngainst a nest of Mexican revolutionists
who were operating from that territory.
Several of tho men whom these letters
wero written to wero delivered over
to tho Mexican authorities and nro now
in jail at Hermosillo. Tho leader of tho
Arizona revolutionists wns a man named
Salcido.
BELIEVE DEATH
T
Painter Killed on Southern Pa
cific May Have Planned to
Die That Way
C
Did Francis George, which wns tho
namo according to Coroner Scott of tho
man who was run over yestcrdny morn
ing and mutilated boyond recognition
by a Southern Pacific freight train
just a short distanco cast of tho city,
doliboratoly commit suicide? asks tho
Tucson Star.
Did ho go to slcop whilo his motor
car wns traveling eastward and thereby
invito certain death?
Was ho murdered and his body then
thrown on the track with the motor
enr loft in front of nn approaching
freight train, making it impossible to
stop immediately!
These nro tlueo questions with which
the coroner's jury, which is to meet
tomorrow in Justicu Scott's court, will
bo confronted.
There is a baro jwssibility that evi
dence may bo Introduced to confirm tho
murder theory, but that is hardly prolv
able, as it would bo difficult to find any
motive for murder except for tho fact
that George had money with him.
It is hardly believed that he commit
ted suicide for, according to tho rail
load men who knew him since his com
ing hero several days ngo, no motive
could bo assigned for such a rash act.
This would leave only tho theory that
he had fallen asleep and wus in tho
path of tho on-coming freight trains
which completely crushed tho motor bi
cycle and which ground Georgo into
small bits; yot tho theory is not abso
lute. A card found in tho pocket of
George's coat, which was cut into sev
eral pieces, gave tho clue to tho name
of tho unfortunate man.
A short distance away lay the lover
of tho motor car and clutching tho lever
was the right hand of tho dead man.
A few yards away lay several fingers
of tho other hand and tho remainder
of tho mnn's body was scattered for
u distance of a hundred yards along
the track. Tho mutilation of the body
by tho car wheels was tho most fright
ful ever known here. .
George was a member of a bridge
painting gang and ho had been in the
city but for a short time. Ho was but
slightly known to railroad men, but it
was said that ho wns probably a resi
dent of California. Tho bridge painting
gang are travelog and their occupation
is such that thoy aro compelled to cover
wide stretches of territory and aro
practically without any definite homes.
Tho fact that (he electric headlight
of an on-coming freight train can bo
seen for a long distance makes it al
most impossible lo believe that the
fatality could haVo been purely acci
dental. The glare of tho, headlight is said to
bo so strong thaf it would awaken a
sleeping person. Jn addition the sole
obstruction to the free passage of the
light at tho point wherc tho accident
occurred wero acnttered clusters of
cacti, tho land in that section being
almost level. '
A short distanco cast of Vails and
about midway between that point and
Seneca Siding, a Mexican who could
not bo identifiejV-was caught by a train
and instantly k'il'jcd, his head being sev
ered from his body. Every possible
effort was madofyestcrday to identify
tho body, but without success.
Tho bodies of 'both unfortunate men
wero brought to this city and a co
oner's inquest will bo held here.

ELKS AGAIN CLIP
W
Baseball Game Sunday Results
in Another Easy Victory for
the Antlered Herd,
MUCH BETTER GAME
THAN THE FORMER ONE
Eagles Make One Lonely Run
While the Elks Score Nine
Times Stewart Pitched
Well, with Good Support.
Tho much-heralded ball game between
tho Elks and Eagles Sunday afternoon
proved to bo ono of. tho best games seen
on local grounds this season. Both
teams had been strengthened since tho
previous game, and while tho Hagles
played much better ball, they did not
stand any more show of winning the
gnmo than they did the first one. Ed
Stewart, tho Elks' premier slab artist,
held tho birds down to a few scattered
hits, while Job Atkins, who did tho
heavy work for the Eagles, was hit
more freely and at limes when hjts
meant runs, Stewart's best work was
done in the seventh when nil of
the bases were occupied and Manager
Carroll's pets were unablo to scoro a
tally.
The Eagles mado their lonely run in
tho fifth inning, when Johnson drew a
base and scored while the outfield was
chasing a liner from Steve .Tillman's
bat that collided with Freddy Green's
finger. Freddy is wearing a rag around
the digit to make tho bluff good.
Bats a Thousand
Tho batting of Johnny Alexander was
the feature of the game, tho theatrical
magnate making an average of 1.000,
getting three hits and a bnso on balls
in four times up. Peto Butz and Al
Alexander, also of the Elks, distinguish
ed themselves by making two-baggers,
as did Atkins of the Eagles. Pete also
upheld the reputation of his profession
by stealing several bases and at one
timo would have stolen home if the
catcher had not been looking at him.
John Secland was expected to do tho
heavy hitting for the Eagles, but the
husky boilcnnakcr failed to connect
with Stewart's side-winders and he
struck out threo times. Only four safe
ties were made off Stewart and Curtis
Botts, who held down third for the
birds, got two ot these. Tho Elks
made eight hits.
A Star Inflcldcr
Bob Feland played a good game nt
short for tho Elks. He went after
everything that went in the air and
generally got what ho was after. None
of tho Elks outfielders, Rose, Blovins or
Alexander, ever had a chance, while
Murphy, who played left for the Eagles,
nailed two flies. Billy Moon was fast
at third whenever he had a chance, but
chnnccs were few around the third bag.
Of tho catchers Al Alexander played
a hotter game than Johnson, and very
for of tho Eagles stole bases.
Tho following is the scoro by inn
ings: Elks 0 2 0 11-10 1 '9
Eagles .0 0 0 0 10 0 0 01
The umpire was Postmaster Allison
and his decisions were accepted without
a murmur. Tho rooters would probably
have taken a shot at him, oven at that,
but they wero kept too busy roasting
tho players. Tho rooting was strenuous
from stnrt to finish, tho fans being pro
vided with horns and other din-making
instruments. Tho loose chang'o in tho
grand stand was collected by Attorney
Georgo Hill, Shorty Sayler and Bill Fe
land, who gave in oxchango gum, cigars
nnd lemonade.

Hull, Who Is to Wed Roland
Jacobs in October
Mrs. Frederic C. Alsdorf was tho
charming hostess nt an announcement
party for her sister, Miss Eula Hull, at
her homo on Hill street last Saturday

Tho elaborate decorations were
uniquoly carried out in every dotail, all
suggestivo of Cupid. Tho tally cards

with hearts, arrows and Cupids. From
tho chnndolier to tho four corners of tho
room strings of red hearts wero grace
fully festooned. Popper tree borrics and
forns arched tho parlor windows.
Tho protticst effect was produced
when tho curtains wero thrown asido,
rovealing tho dining room. In tho door
way hung Cupid with his bow and ar
row in a circlo of hearts. Over tho cen
ter of tho long tablo hung n largo heart

hugo red tissuo parasol. To tho parasol
wore attached tho festoons of henrts
which wore draped to tho comers of tho
room. From inside tho parasol hung a
ANNOUNCEMENT OF

showor of hearts.
As tho twenty ladies were ushered in
they found their places by pretty gilt
arrows, each containing tho name of a
guest. To tho arrows long red ribbons
wero attached leading to tho heart
which hung over the center of tho ta
ble. Miss Hull requested tho guests to
pull the arrows and as they did so a
shower of hcurts fell from the largo
henit. On these small hearts wero
couplets which tho ladies rend aloud in
turn. A clover poem resulted telling of
tho meeting, courtship and engagement
of Mr. Bolnud Jacobs to Miss Eula
Hull, also announcing their marriage
October 24.
A dainty supper was served. Tho
table with its white damask and red
satin ribbons. In tho center stood a
bowl of red roses nnd white carnations
and at each plate was a very pretty
heart box of almonds.
An interesting featuro was tho cut

Pacific Mail Liner Acapulco
Flops Over Few Hours Be
fore Leaving 'Frisco.
LIVES ENDANGERED
BUT ALL MAKE ESCAPE
Several Compelled to Swim
from Vessel Improper Put
ting in of Coal Said to Be
Cause Finally Is Righted,
By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 2(1.
Tho steamship Acapulco of tho Pacific
Mail Steamship company's Panama
line, which was to have sailed for An
con at 9 o'clock this .morning, turned
turtlo nt its dock at the foot of Bran
nan street at 12:15 p. m. as she was
taking on coal for her passage. Though
several lives wero endangered, no lives
were lost.
Neither Captain Trask, master of tho
vessel, nor the officials of the companv,
have given any explanation of tho mis
hap, but the supposition is that tho
coal was immproperly stowed.
Without warning tho Acapulco listed
suddenly to starboard and within fif
teen minutes showed her keel. As they
felt tho ship go over all scrambled up
ladders and companionways and though
a number were caught in the rush, none
were hurt. Several were compelled to
swim.
As the vessel filled she partially right
ed herself and presently lay easy on
her starboard side, the sea covering her
main deck to a depth of from two to
six feet. Fortunately, steam had not
been gotten up, as the sailing hour had
been changed from 1 to 5 o'clock, four
hours off.
Tho fires that had been started under
tho boilers wero drawn by the engine
crew while the vessel was listing and
all danger of an explosion was averted.
A lot of personal baggage was ruined
and a considerable part of the ship's
stores will be lost. Frye, assistant to
Presidont Schweriu of the Pacific Mail
company, said that he could make no
announcement because no other ship
availablo to make the trip.
