The rumor was persistent to-night that
the executive board of the Laundry Work
ers' Union had decided to submit their
case to arbitration. Neither President
Wilson nor Business Agent Lennon of the
union would admit that this decision has
been reached, but among the members of
the union the rumor was given general
credence.
DENVER. May 4.— The announcement
was made to-nieht that the bakers of
the city will walk out to-morrow and the
strike Is expected to involve practically
all the unions of the city before it is end
ed. Ostensibly the strike is for an in
crease of pay and a change of hours for
the bakers, but it is said it is really the
starting of a fight to a finish between the
unions and the newly organized citizens'
alliance.
Thirty-five hundred laudry workers are
Idle and when the drivers, engineers and
firemen are added " the total number
of persons thrown out of employment will
number 5000. President T. C. Wilson of

that hundreds of applications from non

quarters.

"It Is well known," he said, "that the
law holds the- county liable for any harm
that may come to a prisoner at the hands
of a mob; hence our action in placing
Walser under arrest was Justifiable, even
ir his guilt cannot be proved."
The inauest over the body of Miss
Relchlin will be held in the grand Jury
room at the City Court House to-morrow,
and it is probable the hearing to be given
Father Walser will follow the inquest.
Father Walser will be a witness at the
inquest. The priest refused to see news
paper men in his cell at the county Jail
tc-day, but it was said that he was in
good spirits, having passed a comfortable
night.
i Father Herst of Vermlllion, who assist
ed in the mass at Miss Relchlln's funeral,
made the .statement to-night that five at
| terneys had volunteered their services to
I defend Walser and that an unlimited sum
j of money would be forthcoming to help
j him in the event that his case ever went
to trial.
LORAIX, Ohio, May 4.— "If Father
Walser were to have his preliminary
hearing right here in my office now and I
had to use the evidence I now have in my
possession against the man, in my judg
ment I think I would let him go," was
the remark made by Mayor King to-day
when asked what he thought of the
charge of murder against Father Walser,
growing out of the slaying of Miss Relch
lin.
Chief of Police Bramen and Prosecutor
Btroup held a like view. Prosecuting At
! torney Stroup said to-day that in his opin
1 ion the evidence at hand was not suffl
! cient to warrant holding Father Walser
to appear before the grand jury. How
| ever, said he, the officers were working
i on the case along a line which they were
• keeping secrf t at this time, and develop
j nients might result before the inquest to
1 morrow. Stroup censured the relatives of

Wedded in an undertaking parlor by
an undertaker, with coffins and funeral
decorations for drapery. Those are the
conditions under which George P. Perry
and Sylvia Fassett. both of San Fran
cisco, began their married life together.
The surroundings were somber enough,
but the couple did not seem to mind that,
and .they left the shop happy, despite the
fact that they had plighted their troth
where death usually reigned.
The couple came to Oakland this morn
ing to get married far from the madding
crowds of San Francisco. They got.
their license and then wanted to find a
Methodist minister who would unite them
quietly and^without any undue notoriety.
In this endeavor they found J. E. Hender
son, the junior member of the firm of
Leitch & Henderson, undertakers. Mr.
Henderson was willing to perform -the
ceremony, and the couple were conducted
into his undertaking parlors and there
united with the ties that cannot now be
broken under a year's time. The two San
Franciscans did not object to the uncanny
decorations, the coffins and shrouds, and
seemed thoroughly satisfied.

"WASHINGTON, May 4.— Unofficial re
ports received at the War Department
give additional details of the campaign
which resulted in the death of San Miguel
and the utter rout of his band of out
laws by the Philippine scouts commanded
by Lieutenants Nickerson and Reese. The
scouts located San Miguel's band about
half way between Caloocan and Mari
qulna In a strongly fortified corral and
blockhouse built by the Spaniards many
years ago, and so well concealed by jun
gle that it had escaped discovery. Lieu
tenants Nickerson and Reese and their
men made a gallant attack on this strong
hold under, a heavy fire from the enemy
through loopholes in the walls surround
ing the blockhouse. The scouts charged
over the wall and engaged the enemy in
a hand-to-hand combat, driving them into
the fort. In this assault Lieutenant
Reese was shot through the thigh, Just
below the groin.
San Miguel, surrounded by a devoted
bodyguard, undertook to slip through the
line, but being discovered put up a plucky
fight.

FOOD IN NEED
Is a Friend Indeed.
Many timei a school teacher In the mld-
cle of a heavy session requires exactly
the rieht kind of food to rebuild the
v apted nerve and brain tissues as well
- to keep up the muscular energy. This
. th« business cf Grape-Xuts in which
ihc Etarchy part of the pure cereals Is
turned to gTape eugar and where the
; tcsphates predominate, making- it rich
in food value and ready for the weakest
Momach to assimilate immediately. A
!.dy teacher of Minneapolis cays:
"About four years ago I realized that I
was breaking down nervously in the mid-
cle of a school year. To a school teacher
Jj.is means not only loss of health, but
inability to go on with her work. Noth-
i-""«r appeared to help me and I was Just
afcout discouraged when a friend recom-
mended that I look into Grape-Xute. On
r<ailz.g what this food does toward re-
building bcain and nerve centers I mado-
tp my mind to give It a /air trial.
•'I ate Grape-Nuts food dry with cream
for breakfast and enjoyed It greatly; my
improvement began immediately and was
r-> stead.y that I did not realize how fully
1 had been benented until an extra strain
came on me In roy school work through
v.hieh I was able to go, continuing to
improve all the time. Looking back on
i he trial now, I realize how this wonder-
la\ food saved me from a certain break-
oown. \
"I have kept up the fially use of Grape-
TCutB rver flnce and have never had a re-
turn cf the trouble. I always take a pack-
egc with me when traveling and I look
upon the food as essential to my health
as fresh air or exercise." Name furnished
