SPECIAL DIFFATCH TO TBE CALL
GOLDFIELD, Nev., Dec.
9. — According to members of
the mine owners* association,
the tension in the strike sit
uation is at the breaking
point. According to officials
of the union there is no truth
in the reports made by the
owners that the miners are
armed and that serious trou
ble is likely to occur; judging
from the conduct of Colonel
Reynolds and his small army
of United States regulars
encamped on the outskirts of
the* city, no covert act is ex- !
pected tonight.
The <iay"s developments, how
ever, indicate that a crisis will be
reached Thursday, when the Mo
hawk Combination and all other
important properties will be re
opened. The operators issued the
final statement this afternoon.
-
The mines.' are to be opened at 7
o'clock Thursday morning.
A new scale has been drawn up, j
reducing' wages for the district
about 30 per cent.
The operators invite all of their old
•raployes to return to work on condi
tion that they throw away their cards
of membership in the western federa
tion of miners, renounce forever that
organization and agree to accept the
n«?w -vrapes. In return they promise to
ccc that the cost of living is reduced
bo that the cut in wages will be offset.
WILL CHEAPEN LIVING COST
They declare they will bring suf
ficient pressure to bear upon- the mer
chants of the town to make a "0 per
cent hole in the latter's gross receipts
and promiFß that if the merchants do
not lower pr'ces on the necessaries of
life the mine owners' association will
«.ppropn'at«> $I*oo,ooo for investment in
department stores and lodging houses,
•where goods, meals and shelter will be
given to the employes of tbe associa
tion at cost prices.
Before this statement had been is
sued th<*. union officials had been ap
prised of its contents and President
MacKinnon declared that the proposi- .
tion made by the owners \u25a0was absurd.
He said that wages were not too high
for the cost of living here, and that it
•was ridiculous to talk of reducing
prices of goods a.nd food supplies.
MacKinnon laid particular stress
upon the statement that the officials of
the union would not countenance vio
lence, and that it would be a clean, '
open fight between the men and the i
operators. He s.iid that if reports had \
been circulated to the effect that mem- I
bers of the federation had attempted to
destroy property they were fathered
by the owners' association.
SO VIOLENCE. SAYS LEADER .
"Our policy will be to wait and meet
developments as they appear, but there i
will be no violence," ?aid MacKinnon.
"TVe do not intend to invoke the aid of
the federation officers in Denver, unless
rone unforeseen emergency renders us
enable to fight our battles alone. Then j
we would call for help.
"Xinety-nine per cent of the mem
bers of the local union will remain
loyal; there will be a few traitors, but
they are already known. They sit in
•ur councils and they see an that
transpires, but we know them and have \
Stnown them all along."
The officers were busy all day com
gifting arrangement for the opening of
U-.e mines Thursday. All the leases on

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAULi
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9— The
president discussed the San Francisco
postmastership today with Senator
Perkins and Representatives Kahn and
Hayes. The two congressmen saw
the president and Kahn advised him
that they were very anxious to have
John J. Deane " appointed postmaster.
Kahn said it was vital, in fact, that
he should have the appointment. Then
Senator Perkins appeared and the
president asked him what he thought
about it.
"Why, Mr. President," said Perkins,
"I am practicing what you approach,
I believe, in ; civil service. I think Mr.
Fisk has made a splendid postmaster.
Have any charges been filed against
him?"
The president said he did not know
of any. Perkins then suggested that it'
would be a fine thing to reappoint Fisk.
Kahn then told Perkinsthat Fisk and
his asßistants were his political ene
mtfs and -that h> beli-yed th«. post
mastership ought to be at Jii? disposal.
Hayes merely said'h^' "stood with Julius
on L tb^ -Hn"atter-";"' "1 1? ' add-fdj^triar-Flsk •
had never intimated that he, was a can
didate -for reappoinmeht. • . '.- .' '
'T thought'Fisk was out of it," said
Hayes, "so "I stand "with Julius for
Johnny Deahe. The Sari ; Francisco
postoffice -is ; the only, patronage that
Julius has and Perkins oughtto give It
to him."
P.«rkins has recommended Fisk for I
reappointment and Flint hae joined;in
the recommendation. The president ,
said he would consult Perkins before!
taking any action. r
Kahn said tonight that Perkins in
sisted he was not- tied to Fisk in any
way and might throw liim . over for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.— George A.
Knight, in i company with Senator Per- :
kins,, had a pleasant visit with the
president itoday. Mr. Roosevelt greeted
Knight warmly and called to flim 'to
join a group while the president ham
mered into them the necessity for'forti

"i want you to hear this," said Roose-.
velt. "I want all Pacific coast people
to get together and use their influx
ence to push through, these appropria
tions." • \.^V t V.
Knight, was smiling when he
emerged. He was asked if the presi
dent had approved his bid; for perma
nent chairman of the national conven
tion, but was noncommittal. \u25a0\u25a0 Several
national committeemen have suggested
that" Knight would make .a fine pre

Bankers throughout the | city united
in denouncing the bank commission
yesterday for the lax methods which
had allowed to exist such -an amazing
system of finance as flourished in the
California safe deposit and trust com
pany. The blame for the present con
dition of | affairs, was laid '. at 1 the door
of the commission.'; Charges were
made that the commission Kad winked
at the grossest violations of the law, |
and had attempted to sustain a shat
tered institution.; Former members of
the commission . were also denounced,
as the disgraceful condition of affairs
has continued' over, a long: period. :
Homer S. Jving.ipresident of '-'the clear
ing house, and \\'. : ! A. 'Palmer, sccre-
tary of tho savings banks association,
grilled-, the on behalf 'of
the two . organizations they ' represent.
Their denunciation was concurredin by
every conservative'; banker in* the city.
"The' bank commission has been noth-'
ing: but a political dumping ground,"
said King. "If the commission ,had
done its duty such a thing" couldnever
have happened.-;." Kvery; conservative
bank courts investigation,, but it wants
a -real - investigation, not ; a isham." j
W.'Ar^Painier. expressed -practically
the same view. '•.'",,
* "The -work ;of the commission'
as reflected in- this- failure," he-said;
''reduces itself to* a farce. ; The matter
has been before the savings banks as
sociation ,and we ha.ye given considera-"
tion to methods-;, of bringing about a
more rigid examination." .*.
In this connectionboth. the clearing
house, and the, savings- banks', associa-^
tion have taken up: the suggestionthat
they -main tain an "examining committee
of their own with a corps of expert:ac
countants. "This is the ; plan lately
adopted .with great success > in^Chicago.'
The 'clearing house committee' keeps a
check ! on' every,; bank 1 , in its jurlsdic-;
tion; and the slightest infraction of the
law'or any move out of the path, of
conservative banking Is quickly' "ex
posed, :'and , the - bank ordered cither to
correct -its methods, or -to close." \u25a0'
Among: - the "/conservative banks ;.'busi
ness .went-on .as smoothly as ever "yes

far j- than the t dep"osits and" there was.

Unsuccessful in his efforts
to obtain bondsmen to go on
his bail, even after it had
been reduced.by Judge Dunne
in the superior court, J.
Dalzell Brown, vice •presi
dent an£ manager of the
California safe deposit and
trust company, last night re
traced his steps to the qity
prison, maintaining to the
end the calm composure and
smiling demeanor which had
characterized him through
out the trying day. -It was
not until the * gates : \\*ere shut
behind him and he was led
into the cells that he showed
the: acute disappointment
which he felt.
William J: • Bartnett" had better
hick,. and at the last moment was
'able to secure bondsmen in the
Pacific ' surety company and the
United States guarantee surety
company. ''.» * .
.The. two- defendants entered
j Judge Dunne V courtroom yester
| day in the. custody of detectives- 2 — ~
Bartnett from his home. in \u25a0
: Valley and Brown from his, cell- in;
; the city prison. Except for Hiram-
W.. Johnson, his attorney. Brown
was alone, but with Bartnett was
his wife, William C. Peyton* ''Mrs.' 1
Pevton and other friends. • Brown
was almost completely isolated.
Few addressed any words to him
and he stood in, a corner o^ the
courtroom, silent but smiling.
ißaftnett. on the other fra;rid, was
haggard. - asl'tated and .-Tiervous. He
hurried from friend to friend, talking
earnestly with each, dispatching som»
to telephone, others on errands. His
wife aided him. She advanced. to meet
friends with outstretched hands, sent
innumerable: telephone messages' and
scorned to act in the capacity of ad
• visor.
They had petitioned that the bonds,
originally set at $200,000 or $100,000
cash, be reduced. Hiram W. Jonn
\ son, speaking for" Brown. asked
the court to lower. the figure in view
of the present financial stringency, and
1 as the district attorney's office,' through
Assistant District Attorney Hoff Cook.
said there was no objection to the
bonds being placed at $75,000 or $50.
000 cash. Judge" Dunne reduced ' th»
bonds to this amount. \u25a0• Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Heney. who had charge
of the case at 'its inception, left the
courtroom" shortly after the appearance
