Unorganized Men Walk
Out of Baldwin Works
-Retaliation Threatened
PHILADELPHIA, March 9.—The
ranks of the strikers who quit work
tn sympathy with the carmen were
swelled this afternoon by the walk
out of nearly 2,000 workmen from
the llaldwtu locomotive works.
The llaldwins’ establishment is an
open shop and the walkout Is the re
sult of efforts to have all unorgan
ized men join in the general strike.
The artlon of the llaldwin men is
looked upon as the clearest victory
that the strikers have won and has
been received with great en'husiasm
In labor circles.
Despite the excitement caused by
the "shooting up” of Frankfort ave
nue, one of the principal thorough
fares of the northwestern section of
the city, early today, by a trolly load
of strikebreakers from St. Louis,
there was no serious demonstration
against the trolley cars In that por
tion of the city today.
Acting Police Captain Daley said
today that the non-union carmen had
been arrested for participating In
the Frankfort A venae affair, in which
three men and a 14-year-old girl re
ceived bullet wounds, when the trol
ley men shot from the swiftly mov
ing car into the crowd. The captain
affirms that the disturbance was
caused by the new men and that the
shooting was uncalled for.
Although Director of Public Safety
Clay still declares that the general
strike is on the wane, the labor lead
ers assert that they are steadily gain
ing ground. Action of the Philadel
phia hosiery manufacturers’ associa
tion in shutting down their mills un
til Monday with the declaration that
If the workers do not return on that
day a shut-down until'fall will occur,

announcements by employers in oth
er Industries and Is a policy that will
bring matters speedily to a head.

WASHINGTON, March 9.—Mere
after Idaho will brook no opposition
to the forestry service of the U. S. on
school sections within the forestry
reservations of that state. Senator
lleyburn made this announcement
while the agricultural appropriation
bill was under discussion in the sen
ate today.
He was speaking of the right of
the government to Include the school
sections in its supervision of reserva
tion areas and in this connection Mr.
Smoot raised the point that the na
tional authority was supreme, if the
land has not been surveyed. Mr.
Smoot said that even when the for
estry service had cut timber on the
unsurveyed sections, it had turned
over to the state 25 per cent of the
proceeds.
"That,” responded Mr. Heyburn,
"sounds like a chapter from the life
of Dick Turpin, who, when he found
his victims stranded by his depreda
tions, would give them enough of
their own money to buy breakfast.”
He went on to say that the recent
administration of forest reservations
had been utterly regardless of law.
"And let It be known,” he thunder
ed. “that from this time on Idaho
proposes to administer its own lands.
The authorities have been instructed
of their competency in this respect,
If they are disturbed by the foresters,
they will invoke the aid of the state
constabulary.”
“How are you going to locate your
lands if they are not surveyed," ques
tioned Mr. Burkett.
"Land is always 'put.’ You don't
have to locate land,” he retorted.
“Clod located it before the flood."
Mr. Heyburn charged the foresters
with accepting bounty money from
the state for the killing of predatory
wild animals although this is one of
their duties.
't he Idaho Senator went Into de
tail in describing Instances In which
settlers have been evicted from their
homes within the reserves for no
other reason, he said, than that the
foresters wanted the use of their im
provements.
In reply to Mr. Shively, he said,
these proceedings were absolutely
arbitrary and without sanction of
legal authority.
In this latter statement, Mr. Hey
burn was corroborated by Ills col
league, Mr. Borah, who said the for
estry officials constitute themselves
judges, Jury and prosecuting attor
ney in the proceedings "disregarding
almost every civilized law for the
protection of men, which has been
adopted by civilized society.”
No explanation or excuse was ever
given to the victim of these arbitrary
proceedings, he said.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March
9.—J. C. Maybray and thirteen of
his associates were arraigned in the
I'nitt-d States court here today and
pleaded not guilty to indictments
charging them with wholesale swind
ling.
Maybray and eighty other defend
ants are charged with being concern
ed in the extensive swindling of
hankers and other persons in dif
ferent parts of the country by means
of "fixed" races, prize fights, wrest
ling bouts and similar methods.
The government has considered the
prosecution of the Maybray gang as
of sufficient importance to warrant
the assignment of Sylvester R. Russ,
special assistant attorney general of
the I'nited States, to take charge of
the cases.
A hundred witnesses from a dozen
states are here to testify. Among the
defendants is Harry Forbes, the prize
fighter, who was arrested at the ring

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PUTS
TRAINS GOING IN NEVADA
Through Business Resumed Yester*
day-Announcement Was Surprise
The Southern Pacific gave the pub
lic a surprise yesterday with an
nouncement that it had completed re
construction of Its line In Nevada and
would put through trains over the!
road again, beginning In the after
noon. Such announcement was not
expected before Sunday at the very
curliest and that it was possible to
make it yesterday Is considered by
railroad men as little short of the
marvelous, for the damage wrought
to the S. P. line by the recent floods
was unquestionably great west of
Carlin for a distance of more than 60
miles.
The first west bound through train
from Ogden for San Francisco was
started over the road yesterday after
noon, leaving Oobre safely at about 4
o’clock. Its Instructions were to pro
ceed steadily to meeting with the
first east bound passenger train, the
Limited, which lert San Francisco
yesterday morning. It was expected
that the repairs in Palisade canyon
would be sufficiently advanced to per
mit passage of the trains upon their
arrival and that they would not lose
more than a few hours from their
schedule time by reason of the slow
running that for a time will be nec
essary between Carlin and Battle
Mountain.
Whether the Southern Pacific will
be able to hold the splendid work
that has been done and keep ahead
with the through traffic Trom now on
is a question that is occasioning a
great deal of interest. Dispatches
last night told of further floods In
the .tumboliH and made the situation
again look grave for the road in that
valley.
RENO, Nov., March 9.—Breaking
all previous records and coming with
a sndoennosH that caused general
alarm, the Humboldt river last night
jrose two feet above all former marks.
The lower part of Winnemucca Is
submerged, the great bridge span
ning the river at that place Is threat
ened and levees are now thought to
be menaced. Great property damage
has been done, the principal loser
being the Western Pacific.
Although the river is falling slight
ly this afternoon there is still great
fear that the levees and the bridge
ai Winnemucca will go out. Wutch
ers have been posted at various
points and all possible effort is be
ing made in preparation for still
higher water. Ranches between Win
nemucca and Rattle Mountain have
suffered much damage and many
head of cattle and horses are reported
to have been drowned.
TKIKD TO KILL MINK IIOSS.
Discharged Employe Adds New
Trugtnly to Scene of Horror.
CHERRY, 111., March 9.—An at
tempt to assassinate one of the St.
Paul Coal company’s bosses added to
the tragedies of Cherry’s mine dls
ter today. Melas Manditch, a dis
missed employe, stepping up behind
Charles Altherton, a newly appointed
top boss at the St. Paul mines, in
which nearly 300 men were killed
last November, whipped out a re
volver and, crying, “To pay you
back!" fired three shots. Atherton
fell, probably fatally wounded.
The shooting occurred during the
work of recovering the 106 or more
bodies which have been entombed in
the mine since the fatal tire. Eleven
bodies had been brought up. Ather
ton was standing at the mouth of the
shaft ordering the hoisting of the
boides. About the mine entrance
stood a circle of widows and orphants
all eager to learn whether the next
body would be theirs. Suddenly
three shots were fired in rapid suc
cession and a nun dashed from the
crowd, leaving the spectators in con
fusion. A hund-ed miners, headed
by SherifT Skoagiund, ran after the
fugitive, who wis captured in the
main street of Cherry, the revolver
still in his hand Manditch said he
shot Atherton because the latter had
refused to give lim a job. Later a
mob surrounded the lock up, and the
prisoner was taken to Princeton, 111.,
for safety.

PLYMOUTH, Mass., March 9.—
Willis L. Fowler, convicted last
Monday of embezzling $1300 from
Miss Mary Loreman and accused of
swindling other women under prom
ise of marriage, today committed
suicide in his cell in the Plymouth
county jail with a penknife loaned
by a keeper. Fowler conducted
correspondence with many women In
various parts of the country through
a matrimonial paper. He induced
them to give him money on promise

WASHINGTON, March 9.—Presi
dent Taft today sent to the Senate
the following nomination for the new
custom court of appeals:
Chief Justice Robt. M. Montgom
ery of the Supreme Court of Michi
gan to be presiding judge; Associate
Judges: William H. Hunt, of Mon
tana; James F. Smith, California;
Orin M. Rartser, Vermont, and Ma
rion Deveres, California.
i he Interstate Commerce Commis
sion was substituted for the proposed
court of commerce in the administra
tion railroad bill by the House com
mittee on Interstate Commerce to
day.
The expected sharp discussion on
the fifty per cent ownership exemp
tion occupied much time. The
provision to permit this exemption
was characterized by its opponents as
inequitable and unfair as it legal
ized combinations of railroads and
railroad capital.
Some of the Democratic member*,
take the position that it would even
validate a merger of the Union and
Southern Pacific railroads, but Re*
publican lawyers on the ommittee
Insisted that tl * action not af
fect any combination of companies
without subjecting them to prosecu
tion under the Sherman anti-trust
law.
Rep. Stevens of Minnesota, an in
surgent” Republican, strenuously ob
jected to this provision and it was
stricken out on his motion.
Several other Republicans and all
the Democrats on the committee vot
ed to sustain him.
i he government this afternoon
fi'ed its brief in the Standard Oil
case in opposition to that filed yes
terday by the counsel for the defend
ant corporation. With these Bteps
disposed of, the Supreme court will
soon be ready to proceed.
WASHINGTON, March 9.—The
senate committee, appointed to in
vestigate the high cost of living, got
down to business today. Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agricul
ture and Commissioner Neill of the
bureau of labor gave an outline of
the information they have obtained
on this subject as the result of Inves
tigations undertaken by them. The
Democrats on the committee, Sena
tors Simmons, Clarke and Johnson,
made it plain from the very start
that they do not wish to accept the
results of investigation undertaken
by the various government bureaus
and departments. They take the po
sition that investigations of an ex
parte character, where there is no
opportunity for oral cross-examina
tion, of necessity reflect the opinions
of the person doing the investigating.
Secretary Wilson made the state
ment that there has been no substanr
tial change in the prices obtained by
the farmer for his food products dur
ing the past 10 years. The Democrats
questioned this statement, and Sen
ator Simmons, the ranking Demo
crat on the committee, said this was
a conclusion to be established only
after the cfross-examination of com
petent witnesses. The senator de
clared that the investigations con
ducted by the various departments of
the government are worthless, so far
as the purposes of the committee are
concerned, and he asked that tne
committee summon witnesses and ex
amine them for the purpose of devel
oping the real facts with regard to
the high cost of living.
It is apparent the Democrats will
demand a public hearing and will in
sist that the responsibility of the
trusts and the tariff be made a sub
ject of inquiry regarding the Increas
ed cost of the necessltes of life.
