Pretty Marie "Ware McKlnl^r, heroine,
of a romantic conspiracy of the Oregon
land fraud <*\u25a0•».' Is .another of the

twtive Burns. She !• -la the ' «lty fit ,
the present time, -bot her TFork- for the
prosecution having' been completed, she
will pall "on May 3 for the orient to join
her husband, Horace G. McKtnley. She
and her husband parted company a year
ago, McKinley going to the orient with
•'Little Egypt," but the dancer t has re
turned to America and the McKinleys
have been reconciled. It is not to be
rxpected that-many- regrets will follow
her through the Golden gate, although
two months ago'her.leaye.taking prob
ably would have surpassed the fare
"well bade Mayor Schmitz when he went
away to Europe for the rest that was
so rudely disturbed by the activities of
Heney! and ..Burns. •
BOODLERS PROVE *EASY"
Boodler after boodler sought the gra
cious company of fair Marie -when the
first one whose acquaintance she had
manipulated passed the news that so
attractive a young woman -"had made
her debut in graft society. There were
many jolly jaunts in automobiles to the
beach resorts; there were-dlnners more
delightful than Halsfy*s parties, with
neVer a thought of expense,:for the su
pervisors were, free with, their money
after it had begun to reach them by
the thousand.
The girl with the sparkling eyes and
rich brown hair, withthe plump, grace
ful figure and- handsome gowns, was
queen of the boodlers' ideals. Caution
was thrown to the winds, confidences
were exchanged and the result was that
when the time came Burns was able to
reveal romances that were almost as
persuasive as promises of Immunity.
Under these circumstances, , quite
naturally, there will be no aching
hearts on the mail^ dock when the
steamer starts the young woman on her
journey across the ocean.
VALUABLE AID TO BURNS

chief stool pigeons In the new. tender

mysterious Mrs. Ritchie ... and .several
other attractive women of the Investi

large share of the credit for the prose
cution's success.
She is not new * to notoriety. She
first came before the public when
caught by Heney and Burns in the land
frauds of Oregon. Subsequently she
was indicted for conspiracy to defraud
the: federal government. Then she was
Marie Ware, and it was, merely to es
cape testifying .against him that she
became the bride of Horace G. McKltr-
That the , marriage had no love In
spiration was soon "demonstrated by
McKlnley*s departure for China- with

R. N. P. Lishman, a wealthy res

CALHOUN OBDURATE
Declares Path to Permanent
Peace Lies in Terms of
Recent* Award
Interest in the streetcar stake sit
uation was focused yesterday, on the
discussion of the vote of the union
to be taken on Tuesday night. It b
still claimed that many of the older
men in the employ of the United Rail
roads will vote against a strike at this
time on the ground that public sympa
thy would be against the carmen in
striking so soon after an arbitration,
and that without public sentiment in
their' favor the men. would eventually
lose.
* Around the car barns yesterday
there was none of that atmosphere of
excitement that usually precedes the
calling of a strike. However themen
are going to vote, they apparently hay«
made up their mlnda. \
KE.II.IZE SEHIOUS.VES*
Th« men realize that If a stride Is
called It will be fought to the finish.
In the present instance neither sld«
will .wish to consent to arbitration, and
if: the company should succeed in run
ning," the -cars it would not only end
tha strike, but would weaken the> posi
tion and power of the union materially.
__^.!sßQwing this, the leaders of the un
ion are willing to consent to a. settle
ment on middle 'ground. Calhoun. how
ever, holds, firmly to his original offer,
and stoutly Insists that the only way
\to preserve^- peace is for* the men to
accept the terms for the following year
which were "established by the board
of arbitration two months_ago to run
to ; May 1.
CALHOPX IS OBDURATE
"There; must be an end to this some
where." Calhoun says. "Either I own
these roads or I don't The path to
permanent peace lies along the "way of
Justice and not in compromises."
Cornelins Issued a \u25a0 statement yester
day In which he said that the' concern
of the ' company wajs not about th*
question of hours. As Calhoun had said
before that the men did , not want tha
