By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.— On©
hundred cars, manned and guarded by
860 non-union strike breakers, were
operated today from 8 a. m. until 4
and 7 p. m. on six of the twenty odd
lines of the United Railroads. There
were scores of acts of individual vio
lence, but there was no rioting beyond
the ability of the police to put down.
About 40,000 passengers were carried
during the day. Thousands of them,
■women as well as men, were sub
jected to Intolerable Insult at the hands
of union men and their sympathizers,
who cursed foully at the passing cars
and the people on them.
President Calhoun of the United Rail
roads, in a statement today to the As
sociated Press, advanced beyond the
position he has thus far maintained
with reference to the local car men's
union. He said:
"I shall not take back any striking
motorman or conductor unless he first
surrenders his union card and signs a
contract to remain a non-union man
so long as he remains in the company's
employment." He said, further:
"To run cars at night is at the pres
ent time prohibitive. I hope that the
era of violence is about over; I hope
that the passions of last week have run
their course. This much I know, that
if my non-union men are attacked and
their lives endangered, and police pro
tection Is not afforded, I shall exercise
a constitutional right and arm them. I
shall not stand by and see my crews,
or any of them, beaten up."
Abuse Must Stop
Governor Gillett Informed newspaper
men who called on him at staff head
querters in the ferry building today
that he will maintain these headquar
ters all summer. "The state," said the
governor, "will not withdraw its eye
from San Francisco until this trouble Is
fully over. I go to Sacramento Thurs
day, but it is only a couple of hours'
ride, and I shall be at all times in
close- touch with Adjutant General
Lauok, who will remain here In charge
of staff headquarters."
The governor declared with emphasis
that the police must promptly and
vigorously put a stop to the wholesale
abuse that is being heaped upon passen
gers, both women and men, and upon
the strike breakers by crowds and in
lndividuals in the streets.
He was greatly incensed by the many
reports brought to him during the day
of vulgar and profane remarks ad
dressed by strike sympathizers to peo
ple on the cars.
Any union man who rides on a streat
car during this strike Is subjec t to
punishment ranging from $25 or $50 fine
to expulsion.
Governor Gillett said he thought it
would not be wise from a peace stand
point for President Calhoun to attempt
to throw open the entire United Rail
roads system at once, or to run cars at
night just now.
Advice for Calhoun
"Mr. Calhoun," said the governor,
"must be guided by his own good sense
in resuming operation of his lines. The
service should be restored gradually
with due regard to the safety of pas
sengers as well as the lives of opera
tives. I have no doubt Mr. Calhoun
understands this quite as well as I do."
Blood flowed as a result of one of tho
many desultory acts of violence com
mitted during the day. A brickbat
thrown at a passenger-fllled car on the
Sutter street line at Fifteenth avenue
and California street tore open the scalp
of a 7-year-old girl, Sophia Frank. The
child, bleeding profusely, was removed
to Park Emergency hospital. The sur
geons say she will recover.
A number of women living in Poh,*
Lobos refugee camp armed themselves
with missiles of a various sort and
bombarded a passing car. They were
doing considerable execution when the
police interfered. Later In the day
some of these warlike females laid
their babies on the car track and were
again chased off by the police after
several cars had thus been blockaded.
At Fourth and Market streets stones
and timbers were dropped upon pass-
Ing cars from a high building in course
of construction. It Is understood to
night that the United Railroads will
tomorrow operate eight or nine lines.
Five hundred regular police and 100 or
more specials were employed In guard
ing the streets today through which the
cars ran.
Many complaints were received of re
fusal of officers to suppress disorderly
acts directed against the service. In
many other instances the police acted
with decision and vigor.
New Factor Created
A new factor was created in the car
fight by the discussion today at a meet-
Ing of the board of supervisors of the
advisability of the city's taking over
the Geary street cable line and operat
ing it on the basis of $3 for an eight
hour day — the demand which precip
itated the strike of the United Rail
roads men.
The city owns the Geary street line,
but has leased It to Its former owners,

NEED A SPANKING
President Diaz Says He Hates to Use
Force, but Will "Apply the
Shingle" If Neces.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 13.— 1n the course
of a lengthy interview in the City of
Mexico, published in the Herald here
today, President Diaz gave a state
ment of the feeling of Mexico toward
Guatemala and his ideas for remedying
the condition prevailing in some of the
Central American republics.
"Mexico," he said, "has throughout
all this trouble with Guatemala, which
came so near forcing us into war,
maintained the attitude of a friendly
power. That attitude Is still main
tained. We do not want to shed blood
to show the Guatemalan government
the error of their ways and will not
resort to that extreme measure unless
some overt act or insult be committed
which will demand the infliction by
Mexico of sharp punishment.
"If it become snecessary to have war
we will make it a very brief one. Mex
ico's present wonderful development
and progress must not be hindered by
a long drawn out conflict. The blow, If
struck, will be a hard one, and a quick
one."
President Diaz then reviews the
events leading up to the present differ
ences with Guatemala down to the
withdrawal of the Mexican minister,
"not," he said, "with the idea of sever
ing diplomatic relations, but to get
him out of the way of receiving any
Insult from that government which
would compel Mexico to administer de
served punishment by the use of arms.
There the matter rests for the time.
That is why there is no war. It is only
a temporary condition, however."
Outlines New Plan
Continuing, President Diaz made this
Important announcement:
"The problem of the Central Ameri
can republics is a great one, which for
their salvation must be settled sooner
or later. It is none of my business and'
I am not ambitious to settle It. Never
theless I have an idea. I believe the
best solution would be an amalgama
tion of all the Central American coun
tries into one strong government under
a man with enough strength of char
acter and honest common sense to hold
in check the revolutionary spirit that
has done so much to retard the prog
ress and development of these coun
tries.
"Mex_lco is willing at any time to co
operate with the United States In a
protectorate over them and In any
measure that will be beneficial. I do
not know the feeling of your govern
ment in this matter, but I assure you
I stand ready to work with it.
"I want it distinctly understood, how
ever, that there must be no thought or
act of territorial acquisition In this
compact. Mexico wants no additional
territory. It is big enough now."

JUDGE WOOD
HEARS MANY
SAD STORIES
Prospective Jurymen
Not Anxious to
Serve
Therefore Haywood Case
Is Proceeding
Slowly
Some Talesmen Declare Their Wives
Are 111, While Others Offer Various
Excuses — Young Steunen.
berg In Court
By A-"- 1 - i"iated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, May 13.— Only a frag
ment of today was given over to the
actual work in the Haywood trial and
the one step forward was the qualifi
cation of a single talesman who seems
marked for peremptory challenge later.
The rest of the time went to the
talesmen of the special venire and the
reasons that made it impossible for
them to serve the state at this time.
Judge Wood called the case at 2
o'clock and at once gave attention to
the 100 men summoned by Sheriff
Hodgin in the special venire issued on
Thursday last. The court asked those
who had special excuses to offer to
come forward and up surged a little
mob of thirty-five.
They swarmed
around the clerk's desk and choked up
the left approach to the bench.
Seven of them were sick and five
were the husbands of sick wives. Some
presented certificates from doctors,
others offered their quaking bodies as
visual evidence, the rest pleaded ear
nestly.
Then there were ditch riders who
must ride hard and constantly these
days in this land of irrigation, where
water ia a community concern. Next
there was a batch of federal grand
jurors, who are ■ under call to meet on
June 15, a date that will surely con
flict with this trial and after them
trooped a little column of county of
ficials, great and small.
Then there were administrators of
estates with heirs who may suffer by
their enforced absence, and <two bank
ers who mus* watch and count the coin
in national banks.
In age they ranged from gray-haired
old chaps, quivering under their years,
to husky youngsters in early citizen
ship, and in appearance from the
weather-marked, muscle-hardened men
of the farn:, to well dressed, comfort
able burghers.
With tact and patience Judge Wood
heard them thrcugh tnd the thirty-five
talesmen were not examined until 3:20
by the clerk. Twenty-four of the
pleaders were excused and the other
eleven returned to the panel, either
temporarily or permanently, leaving the
total at seventy-six:
Young Farmer Excused
In the hour devoted to counsel's ex
amination of talesmen Ellsworth Lis
ter, a young farmer who had vainly
striven to be excused, went down be
fore an objection from the prosecution
for implied bias and gave way to Wal
ter Shaw, 29 years old, a brother of a
present member of the Idaho legisla
ture, now a farmer and formerly a
meat cutter of Seattle and Everett,
Wash.
Shaw qualified after an extended ex
amination that filled the time down to
the adjournment, but he was indefinite
in many of his answers and semed un
informed upon many matters essential
in the standard grade of Jurors. Shaw
is generally labeled for peremptory
challenge.
Hie examination by James H. Haw
ley, leading counsel for the state, was
again brief, that of E. F. Richardson
again long and searching. Hawley
chiefly directed himself to the question
of attitude toward circumstantial evi
dence, capital punishment and the ab
sence of the prisoner from Idaho when
the crime was committed. He also
sought for a possible feeling as to for
mer Governor Steunenberg personally,
and carefully questioned the talesmen
as to formed and expressed opinions,
and the possibility of their removal by
competent evidence.
Makes Thorough Examination
Hawley's direct challenge of Lister,
In which the defense acquiesced, made
Shaw the only talesman examined by
Richardson. Once again he asked as
to the effect of the letter of President
Roosevelt, designating Haywood and
his associates as "undesirable citizens,"
the speeches of Secretary Taft and the
acts of Governor Gooding and the Ida
ho legislature.
He again carefully sought for preju
dice against socialists and members of
the Western Federation of Miners, pos
sible bias against the members of labor
unions generally. He also covered the
line of sympathy with or Interest In
the organization of mine owners and the
Citizens' alliance, and possible focal al
liances in the church, the lodge and
the political party.
Talesman Shaw said that after he had
been summoned on Saturday last he
talked the fact over with the members
of his family and this led Judge Wood
to pointedly admonish the other tales
men to refrain from discussing the case
with any one under any circumstances.
He asked them to report to him the
name or na,mes of any person or per
sons who attempted, after warning, to
talk to them.
To the court this afternoon came
Julian Steunenberg, son of the mur
dered governor, a tall, sturdy youth,
strikingly like his father in face and
figure. For two hours he sat with the
members of the Boise bar, ten feet
from the chair of the prisoner, William
Haywood. He spoke to no one and re-

Cortege Following Body of Dr. A. R,
Rhea to the Grave Meets with
a Serious Accident on
Return Trip
Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 13.— Seven per
sons were injured shortly before 6
o'clock tonight when two of the car
riages returning from Signal Hill cem
etery, where the body of Dr. Rhea had
Just ben laid to rest, were wrecked in
an ugly spill on California avenue near
the Huntlngton Beach car line. All of
the occupants of the two vehicles were
relatives of Dr. Rhea except the two
drivers. Mrs. Rhea, the widow, was
among them. She was not seriously
hurt.
The injured were:
Mrs. A. R. Rhea, arms sprained.
Miss Grace Allen of Gratton street,
Los Angeles, left leg broken.
Mrs. Nellie Allen, Miss Allen's mother,
arms and back bruised.
George Glendenning of Los Angeles,
Mrs. Rhea's brother, head cut and
shoulder wrenched; taken to Long
Btjach hospital.,
Mrs. H. S. Funk, body bruised.
Miss Esther Covert, bad bruises.
Fred Health, driver, cut about eyes
and top of head.
Mrs. Allen and her daughter. Miss
Grace, were place* upon a Pacific Elec
tric car and takete to their home In
Los Angeles. Gledennlng is in the Long
Beach hospital, unconscious. Mrs. Rhea
was taken to her home, from which the
dead body of her husband had been re
moved but a short time before. Owing
to her nervous condition she was taken
to the home of a friend, Mrs. F. L.
Bacon, on Pacific avenue, for the night.
The others were able to go to their
homes.
Car Causes Death
The accident came as a sad after
math of the sudden demise of Dr.
Rhea, who died Thursday afternoon
shortly after he was s f . dek by a west
bound Redondo n-onue car. An in
quest was held chls ..fternoon at 2:30
o'clock and the funeral services as
soon as possible thereafter. After the
last sad rites had been said over the
grave of t c former physician the
large assemblage of sorrowing rela
tives and friends took their way home
ward, som going by one street and
some another. The two carriages in
which most of the immediate relatives
rode started back for town along Cali
fornia avenue.
Near the Huntington Beach line of
the Pacific Electric there is a sharp
grade. The lighter of the two car
i.ages, a two-seated, extension-top
surrey, was in front. A. M. Pike was
driving. Others in this carriage were
Mrs. Rhea, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Funk
and son Jewell Funk. The second car
riage, driven by Fred Heath, pro
prietor of the Star Livery stables and
owner of both rigs, was a heavy, three
seated conveyance. In it were Mrs.
and Miss Allen, George Clendenning,
Percy and Esther Covert.
Brakes Refuse to Work
When Heath's vehicle commenced
the descent of the hill the brakes
would not work and the wagon ran
against the horses. The animals be
came frightened and started to run.
Those in the carriage screamed in
terror, and, according to Heath, Glen
denning seized one of the lines. The
rig's course could not be checked and
it went plunging wildly down the hill.
Heath attempted to drive around the
lighter carriage, but the space afforded
was not sufficient. The three-seated
conveyance crashed into the other,
tearing a wheel oft tho lighter rig,
and both vehicles upset, the heavier
one spilling its occupants Into a ditch
at the side of the road. The team on
the heavy rig broke loose and ran for
a mile before being caught. Pike held
to the reins until he was thrown from
the other rig. Funk seized the lines
as the driver dropped them and clung
to them until he stopped the team, al
though he was dragged several yards.
Pike and the others who were not
too badly shocked and bruised by the
accident at once began to call physi
cians. Dr. J. W. Wood and Dr. A. F.
Hamman hastened to the scene of the
accident and later, while Dr. F. D.
Bishop attended Olendenning at the
hospital, went to the Rhea home,
where the others were given further
attention.
Glendenning is an employe of the
Tally-Ho stables, Los Angeles, and
lives at the New York apartments.

WHEAT PIT
RESEMBLES
MAD HOUSE
Operations the Most
Sensational in
History
Predicted Price Will Go
to 125, Poss bly
to 150
Orders to Buy Come from Every State
In the Union — Speculators
Fight for Su
premacy
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 13.— 1n the most
sensational operation in the history
of the Chicago board of trade wheat
today shot past the dollar mark.
Heavy realizing sales pushed the price
backward somewhat but at the close
the market was strong and according
to a majority of speculators on the
board the demand upon which the late
advance has been made Is still un
satisfied. '
The net advance for wheat today
was 4 cents for the July and Septem
ber options and 4 1-8 cents for the
December. From the low point of
Monday of last week July wheat has
advanced 13 3-4 cents. September has
gone up 16 3-4 cents and in the De
cember options the highest point of
the day was 16 3-4 cents above »*^e
low price of last Monday.
It was a certainty that a strong
bulge would take place in the wheat
market at the opening. Country or
ders had been poured In in a seeming
ly endless stream and in obedience to
them brokers stood ready to buy mil
lions of bushels at the market. Shorts
were in a highly nervous- condition
and were eager to cover. The result
was that as soon as the gong sounded
there was a terrific roar of voices, all
anxious to buy and nobody offering to
sell.
The trade was too big and too broad
to be followed with any certainty, and
brokers filled orders frequently several
cents away from the point at which
they had hoped to buy.
The confusion was so great that for
a few minutes but little actual busi
ness was transacted, the brokers fight
ing and struggling In the effort to get
hold of wheat from anybody or at
any price. The July option sold as
soon as figures could be registered out
of the confusion anywhere between 93
and 94 cents, which was 1 1-4 to 2 3-8
cents higher than the close of Sat
urday. September opened at 95 to 99
cents, which was up 1 3-8 to 2 3-4
cents above the closing price of last
week. December showed a wider
range than either of the other op
tions, and the opening quotations ran
at all figures between 96 cents and
$1.03. This price was 1 1-2 to 8 cents
above the final quotations of Saturday.
Orders from Everywhere
The rush of buying orders seemed to
come from almost every city in the
United States which was situated along
a telegraph wire. They came from
Winnipeg and from Louisiana, and
from points on the Pacific and Atlantic
seaboards. The professional traders
were of the opinion that the opening
was a little too vigorous and the
chance to seize profits on lines of long
wheat carried over Sunday were tempt
ing
As soon, therefore, as trade steadied
a triflo, millions of bushels were thrown
on the market on realizing sales and
the advance for a time was checked.
The buying orders, however, still
poured in and the market soared up
again. Again the long wheat' came out
and brought about a reaction and again
the country buyers forced it up. The
situation was too strong for any man
or clique of men to stem.
The country at largo seemed deter
mined to buy wheat at whatever price
It could be had. There were no claims
in any direction that the market was
being manipulated.
Crops Will Be Small
The general opinion seemed to be that
the advance was based upon natural
conditions which are certain to cur
tail in large degree the world's coming
crop of wheat. The advices from all
parts of the west and northwest con
firmed the previous reports of dam
age by weather and by insects, while
telegrams from the Canadian north
west declared that there was still no
possibility of seeding in the district
and that every day of delay meant the
loss of thousands of acres that might
otherwise have been sown to wheat.
Cablegrams reported the markets at
Liverpool and Budapest to be in a
highly excited condition, with prices
advancing strongly.
Liverpool was declared to be affected
by gloomy reports from Russia, and it
was the belief of many prominent com
mission men that Europe will be forced
to buy heavily In the American mar
kets, and the American market instead
of being able to meet this demand will
be scarcely strong enough to supply
wheat needed for home consumption.
Such prominent traders as William H.
Bartlett and James Patten declare that
the conditions warranted the sensa
tional advance in prices, declaring that
the wheat problem for this year will
be a difficult one for European powers
to solve. Among smaller traders pre
dictions were made before the present
advance has stopped July wheat will
go certainly over 125 and possibly to
160.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 14.— William Ellis
Corey, president of the United States
Steel corporation, and Mabelle E. Gill
man were married at the Hotel Gotham
this morning at 1:24 a. m.
In order to escape the unlucky 13th
of the month William Ellis Corey,
president of the United States Steel
corporation, and Miss Mabelle Gllman,
the former actress, were not married
until after midnight this morning. The
ceremony took place in the royal suite
at the Hotel Gotham, Fifth avenue and
Fifty-fifth street, in the presence of a
small party of friends of the contract-
Ing couple.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. J. L. Clark, pastor of the Bush
wick Avenue Congregational church of
Brooklyn.
The royal suite in the Hotel Gotham
is on the third floor of the Fifth ave
nue side and consists of eight rooms.
It is secluded. The salon and dining
rooms were decorated last night with
hundreds of American Beauty roses.
The management of the hotel and
those in charge of the decorations were
given carte blanche. The banquet was
one of the most sumptuous ever served
in this city.
The guests assembled In a small re
ception room in the suite and at 11
o'clock entered the dining room, where
the wedding supper was served. The
■iecorations of the rooms were beauti
ful and were tastefully arranged. The
hallway was fringed on both .sides with
rotted palmß, dressed with sprays of
dogwood and snowballs, while the re
ception room, In which the guests met,
was adorned with great vases, filled
with American Beauty roses and
sprays of cherry blossoms and dog
wood. „
Dining Room Decorations
In the dining room was a great square
table, In the center of which a bank of
pink roses with sprays of lilies of the
valley were woven around at the base,
the whole edged around with broad
bands of pink ribbon. Here and there,
nestling among the flowers, were tho
tiny cups and miniature china wedding
bells. From the corners of the room
were hung festoons of smilax, inter
mingled with pink roses.
After the supper was over the party,
led by Mr. Corey and his bride, passed
down the hall between the rows of
palms to the double salon, which was
decorated to represent a small church.
There was no music during the evert
ing and there were no bridesmaids, Miss
Oilman being attended only by Miss
Frances Erskine Shaw of London. Mr.
Corey was unattended.
Miss Oilman wore an empire gown of
wliite crepe de chine, the skirt of which
was trimmed with garlands of em
broidered wild roses. The bodice was
trimmed point d'aiguille lace, caught
up with trains of embroidered roses.
The bridal veil was of handsome tulle,
four yards square, edged with point
d'aiguille lace.
After the nuptials Mr. Corey and his
bride took an automobile and were
whirled away to Hoboken, where they
boarded the steamer Kaiser Wllhelm
1, which will sail at 8:30 o'clock this)
morning. They will occupy the cap
tain's suite, which has been specially
fitted up for the trip. Mr. Corey was
attended by a valet and Mrs. Corey by
a maid. The pair will dine in their own
rooms, and arrangements have been
made so that they will not be sub
jected to the observance of the ship's
passengers unless they desire to mingle
with them. »
Mr. and Mrs. Corey will proceed to
Paris and will then go to the Chateau
Genis, twenty-five miles from Paris,
where the honeymoon will be passed.
They expect to remain there until they
return to America about the middle of
July.
Mr. Corey's only gift to the bride was
the Chateau Genis. .
During the evening preceding the ar
rival of the guests Mr. Corey, who re
mained at the Hotel Gotham, received
hundreds of congratulatory telegrams
and letters from frlendu and business
associates. Mr. Glllman was also Inun
dated with messages of congratulation.

SANTA BARBARA, May 13.— Late
advices tonight from San Luis Oblspo
indicate that the death roll of the
Honda wreck of last Saturday is com
plete with the thirty-two victims
whose bodies are to be taken east to
morrow on a special funeral train,
which is expected to leave at 8 o'clock
in the morning.
C 5f stricken relatives, members of
the Mystic Shrine and some of tbe
wounded who are considered able to
stand the journey will accompany the
bodies.
Separate Inquests were held today
upon the bodies of twenty-one victims
who were brought to this city, and
eleven others who died before or after
their arrival at San Luis Oblspo.
Two railroad men and two Shriners
were the only witnesses at the Inquest
held at this city. The brakeman of tbe
wrecked train and a Southern Pacific
roadmaster testified that they were un
able to assign any definite cause for the
train leaving the track, but advanced
the theory that some piece of machin
ery may have dropped from the engine
and derailed the tender and cars follow
ing.
No evidence was given by the passen
gers except their statement that tho
train was moving at a rapid rate of
speed. Two hours of deliberation by the
jury followed the submission of the case
by the coroner and at the end of that
time a verdict was returned disclaim
ing ability to determine the cause of
the wreck.
At San Luis Obispo the Inquest held
over the bodies of eleven additional vic
tims resulted In a verdict to the effect
that the wreck was due to defective
railroad equipment
Several hundred telegrams have been
received here from different points
throughout the country appealing for
information relating to identity of the
dead and injured. Such messages are
still arriving. The majority of these
are from New York, Brooklyn, Newark
N. J.: St. Johns, N. 8., and Lewiston
Me., although no Shriners representing
these cities were on board the wrecked
train.
