SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 13. A
hundred cars, inarmed and guarded by
330 strike-breakers, wero operated to
day from 8 o'clock until 7 p. in. on
six of the twenty-odd lines of tho
United Railroads. Thoro wero. scores
of acts of individual violenco, but no
tiot beyond tho ability of tho .polico
to put down. Forty thousand passen
gers woro carried during the day.
Thousands of them, women as well
as men, wore subjected' to intolerable
insult at the hands of-union rnen and
sympathizers, who cursed foully at tho
passing cars and tho people on them.
Calhoun Defies Union
President Calhoun today said:
"I will not take back .any of tho
striking motormon or .conductors unless
he first surrenders his union card and
signs a contract to romain a non-union
man as long as ho remains in tho com
pany's employment.
"To run tho cars at night is at tho
present time prohibitive. I hope the
era of violence is about over; I, hope
the passions of last week havo run their
coarse. This much I know if my non
union men aro attacked and their lives
endangered, and police protection is not
afforded, I shall exercise tho constitu
tional right to arm them. I shall not
stand by and seo my crows beaten up."
The governor at jjtnff, headquarters
in the Ferry building today said ho will
maintain the headquarters nil summer.
The state," said the governor,
'will not withdraw its eye from San
Francisco until the trouble is fully
over. I go to Sacramento Thursday,
but will be at all timei in close -touch
with Adjutant General Lauck, who will
remain in charge of headquarters."
Any union man who Tides in a car
during tho strike is subject to punish
ment ranging from a $25 or $50 fine to
expulsion.
The governor said he thought it would
nut be wise for Calhoun to attempt to
throw open the entire system at onco
or to run cars at night just now.
Child Struck by Brick
Blood flowed as the result of ono of
the many desultory acts of violence
committed during tho day. A brickbat
thrown at a passenger-filled car on Sut
ter street at Fifteenth avenue and Cali
fornia street toro open the scalp of
a seven-year-old girl, Sophia Frank. She
was removed to tho Park emergency
hospital, where the surgeons say sho
will recover.
A number of women living in tho
Point Lobos rofuce amp armed them
selves with missiles :.nd bombarded a
passing car. They wire doing consid-
rablt- execution when tho polico inter
fered Later in the day sotneof theso
warlike females laid babies on thd car
traik and wero again chased off by tho
police after several cars had thus been
'lockaded.
At Fourth and Market streets stones
and timbers were dropped' upon pass
ing irs from a high building in course
f construction. It is understood that
the United Railroads will tomorrow op
irate eight or nino linos. Fivo hun
'Ired regular polico and ono hundred
more specials wero employed in guard
the streets today through which the
ars ran. Many complaints wero re
eiveil of refusal of officers toVsMppress
"iisorderly acts against tho service. In
other instances tho police acted with
'tension and vigor.

MAKING CITIZENS
III THE NEW WAY
First Operation of the. New
Naturalization Law in Gila
County Yesterday,
JUDGE WAVE DELIVERS
A PATRIOTIC ADDRESS
Occasioned by Recent May
Day Occurrence in Globe
First Lessons in Desirable
Citizenship One New, One,
That the now naturalization law is
destined to prevent to a largo degree
tho making of uudesirablo citizens was
demonstrated yesterday in tho short
session of tho United States court for
this district, whon tho first hearings for
citizenship paporn under tho now law
occurred. That tho law is a great im
provement ovor tho old ono was not
doubted whon it was enncted by con
gress, but tho first actual operation of
tho law ii this County proved its great
efficiency to thoso who were present in
tho courtroom.
Under tho new law,' tho applicants aro
given 'a Hearing conducted bytlio Unit
ed States attornoy boforo tho federal
judgo and tho applicant is ns much on
trial, so far as rigid questioning is con
cerned, as though ho were on trial for
a drinic. Ho must prove his desirability
as fully as his legal right to becomo a
citizen.
Ono Gets Papers
Thero were three applicants to bo
heard yesterday, but only two of thorn
appeared in court. Henry Foorstcr, a
nativo of Germany, was granted citi
zenship papers, nnd tho npplicntion of
Nick Milich was denied because his
witnesses could not testify that they
had known him for five years as is re
quired by tho now law. In tho hearing
of Focrstor's application United States
Attornoy Aloxandor put several ques
tions to tho applicant that were of a
rather sensational nature.. Ho 'asked
the applicant first if ho wero a member
of tho Western Federation of Minors,
which was answored in tho affirmative.
He was asked if ho had inarched in tho
May Day parade this year or last year,
answering both in tho negative, To ;thp
question ns to whothcr he had been
present at a mooting when it was voted
not to carry the American flag in the
May Day parade, Foerster answered
irN6ty'"lIowairiheiiwnBkeitifttierc
was anything in tho constitution or by
laws of the Federation which was sub
versive to tho government of tho United
States or which would prohibit the pay
ing of proper respect to tho flag of
this country The applicant could not
answer this question, but he stated that
there was nothing in tho way of his
pledging allegiance to the country and
flag.
Judge Nave's Address
Feeling that some misconstruction
might bo placed on this form of ques
tioning by those who wero not informed
in tho matter and to show, tha,t an ap
plicant's membership in a labor organi
zation did w.t jeopardize his right to
becomo a citizen, Judge Navo, who pre
sided, delivered an address, which,
though wholly cjctomporapcous, was ex
tremely pertinent, as well as a patriotic
discourse, which lack of space unfor
tunatolv prevents publishing in full.
Ho said in part:'
"I notico a number of persons in the
courtroom who havo been observing the
examination of tho petitioner and his,
witnesses with mnnifest interest. In
entering the order submitting this peti
tioner to citizenship it is appropriate
to express tho purposo which underlies
tho examination which has been made.
Tho petitioner has been searchingly ox
amined by tho United Stntes attorney
with reference to his membership in
tho Western Federation of Minors and
with rcferenco to his attitude toward
tho American flng. This examination
presumably was evoked by rumors
which havo been recently current
throughout tho territory that on May
Day disrespect to tho American flag
was intended to bo manifested by some
members of tho local body of that fed
eration. "I do not believe that it has beon
professed or oven held in tho secret
thoughts of nny of the prominent men
in our government, cither in tho judi
cial, legislative or oxecutivo branches,
that thoro is any impropriety in tho
organization of men into unions. The
law docs not contomplato nor docs this
court recognize thnt discrimination of
any naturo should bo made oithcr for
or against union men qr for or against
non-union mon in determining tho fit
ness of petitioners for naturalization
Men who feel so disposed havo precise
ly tho sanio right to organizo into un
ions that people of certain religious pro
clivities havo to organizo thomsolves
into churches or that peoplo have to or
ganizo themselves into political, social
or othor organizations. What tho law
does contomplato nnd what this court
does scok t6 enforce is that no man
shnll bo admitted to citizenship who
does not boliovo in organized govern
ment nnd who does not boliovo in tho
form of gqvornment under which wd
aro now living. Thd Amoricnn flag is
tho omblom of this governm6nt. It is
tho flag of every citlzon wbothcr ho is
a union" or a non-union man) a rich or
a poor'" man, a church member or nn
atheist. It is not to bo supposed that
all of our citizons are satisfied with
oyory feature of our governmental in
stitutions or of our laws. Wo 'have
Honest differences in this respect and
mon may consistently differ in this re
spect without disloyalty.
"Many men bclievo that tho constitu
tion ought to bo amended, that exist
ing laws ought to bo ropcalod, that now
laws ought to bo enacted, nnd that in
many respects matters pertaining to our
govornmentnl processes should bo modi
fied or completely chnnged. Porsons so
believing havo a right to proclaim their
viows and to seek converts to them.
If thero nro citizens whi bellevo thnt
wo should fjeok a socialistic form of
government, or a more absoluto form,
lot thorn preach it and seek convorts to
their theories. Should ho number
agreeing with them becomo sufficient,
by tho uso of their ballots they can
renlizo their theories.
"If thoro aro men among us who wish
to see certain plans carried out, the
attainment of which is popularly sup
posed to bo sought by labor unions, let
them urge thoir doctrines upon their
fellows nnd seek support at tho ballot
box. If thoy win the converts , they
can accomplish their aitns. There is
nothing in this inconsistent with good
citizenship or incontiistent with a res
pect for, a voncration for our nation's
ling.
"It makes no difference in my loyalty
that other men, who proclaim loyalty
to tho same flag perform deeds in the
namo of that flag with which I am not
in porsonal sympathy. That flag is my
flag nnd tho flng of my country. Its
splendor may bo dimmed by policies
arising in misguided judgment, but it
enn bo stained only by treason. That
flag is tho flag of every labor union
which deserves tho nnme; it is the flag
of tho rich man, of the poor man, of
tho church member, of the believer, of
the union man, of the non-union man,
of the educated and of tho illiterate;
it is the flag of tho free-trader, of the
protective tariff man, ,of the Imperial
ist and the auti-imporialist. It litis been
tho flag of superb achievements in the
past, and, thank God, il will bo the
emblem of noblo achievements in tho
future. Merely becauBOyincu may dif
fer, as men honestly do differ, as to
what things shnll be douo under the
shadow of that flag afTords no excuse
fur casting a stain of dishonor upon
tho flag or fomenting treason against
it.
"Therefore, in determining the right
of tho petitioner to citizenship this
court looks with equal favor upon the
union man and tho non-union man, so

being loyal to tio government in which
he seeks membership; ioyal tp the insti

EXAMINED YESTERDAY
Western Union Manager at
Spokane, Supposed to Have
Received Messages Sent by
Miner Officials, Subpoenaed,
By Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, May 1 1. Only a frag
ment of today was given to actual work
in the Haywood trial and but one step
forward the qualification of a single
talesman, who seems marked for per
emptory challcngo later. Tho rest of
th? timo went to tho special venire and
reasons that made it impossible for
jurors to serve. Judgo Wood at 2
o'clock gave his attention to the hun
dred men summoned by Sheriff Hodgin.
Tho court asked those who had excuses
to come forward and up surged a little
iribb of thirty-five. They swarmed
around the clerk's desk. Seven were
sick and five were husbands of sick
wives. Some presented certificates from
doctors; others offered quaking bodies
as visual evidence and the rest pleaded
earnestly. They were ditch riders who
must ride urpund constantly on irriga
tion works where the water of the
community is concerned.
Noxt was a batch of federal grand
jurors who aro under call to meet June
15 and after them trooped a column
of county officials. Then thero vero
administrators of estates with heirs
who may suffer by the enforced ab
sence, and two bankers.
Eleven Turned Looso
With tact and patience Judgo Wood
heard them. Twenty-four of the plead
ers were excused and tho other eleven
returned to tho panel, leaving the total
at seventy-six. In tho hour devoted
to counsel's examination of the tales
men, Ellsworth Lister, a young farmer
who had vainly striven to be excused,
Tvent down before an objection from the
proaccution for implied bias and gave
way to Walter Shaw, 29 years old and
a brother of a present member of tho
Idaho legislature. Shaw qualified after
np extended .examination that filled tho
time down Jbadjou"m meat, but ho was
indefinite in many answers and seemed
uninformed upon many matters essen
tial in the standard grado of jurors.
Shaw is generally labeled for peremp
tory challenge.
State's Counsel Is Brief
The examination by James H. Haw
ley, leading counsel for the statc,v'was
again brief, and that of E. F. Richard
son long and searching. Hawley chief
ly directed himself to tho question of
attitude toward circumstantial evi
dence, capital punishment and absence
of tho prisoner from Idaho when the
crime was committed. He nlso sought
for possible feeling ns to Steuncnbcrg
personally and carefully questioned thp
talesmen ns to formed and expressed
opinions and tho possibility of their
removal by competent evidence.
Hawley 's direct challenge of Lister,
iif which tho defense ascuiesccd, made
Shaw tho only talesman examined by
Richardson. Once again he asked as to
the effect of the letter of Roosevelt
designating Haywood and his associates
as "undesirable citizens," tho speeches
of Taft and acts of Governor Gooding
njid tho Idaho legislature. Ho care
fully sought for prejudice agftinsl so
cialists, members of the Western Fed
eration and possible bias against mem
l.ers of labor unions generally. IIo cov
ered a line of sympathy with, or in
terest in, the organization of miners
nnd tho Citizens Alliance, and possi
ble local alliances in church, lodge nnd
political party.
1 Can't Talk With Anyono
Talesman Shaw said tliat after he had
lfcon summoned Saturday' no' talked the
fhet oyer with tho members of his fam
ily and 'this led. Judge, Wood to point
edly admonish other talesmen to re
frain from discussing tho caso with
anvono under any circumstances. Ho
asked them id report to him the namo
of any person who attempted after
Earning to talk with them.
To court this afternoon camo, Julian
Steuncnbcrg, son of tho murdered gov
ernor, n tall, sturdy youth, strikingly
like his father in face and figure. For
two hours ho. sat with members of tho
Jloiso bar, ten feet from the- prisoner.

TWO EXCITING BALL
GAMES PLAYED SUNDAY
Tho fans who "went out to tho ball
park Sunday afternoon goth their mon.
oy's worth and then some. The first
gamo played between tho San Carlos
Indians nnd Bill Green's Mandolin
club, furnished tho comedy, and tho
second game, between tho Indians, and
the Globo Regulars, furnished tho base
ball, although there wero somo good
plays in tho first game. Tho colored
team had the advantago of a white bat
tery, Habey and Oswill, and until the
fifth inning it looked black for the red
skins, but they got onto Habey 's curves
about that timo with tho scoro 5 to
2- against hem, and assisted by some
bad errors, tho Indians passed the col
ored boys Tho final scpro wns 11 to

and furious throughout the game.
In the second gnmo Rames, - the
Apnchcs' champion twlrlcr, held tho
regulars down to one hit in tho five
innings played and Reinhardt wont him
ono better, not nllowing the Indians a

pretty playijig throughout.
WHEAT GOES PAST
THE DOLLAR MARK
Most Sensational Operation in
History of Chicago Board
of Trade
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 13. In the most
sensational operation in the history of
the Chicago Board of Trade, wheat to
day shot past the dollar mark. Heavy
realizing pales pushed the price back
ward somewhat, but at tho close the
market was strong and according to the
majority of speculators the demand up
on which tho late demand has been
made is still unsatisfied. The net ad
vance today was four cents for July
and September options and four and
one-eighth cents for December. From
the low point of Monday of last week
July wheat has advanced 3, Septem
ber has gone up 10 cents and in De
cember options the highest point of the
day was 10 cents above tho low price
pf last Monday.
It was a certainty that a strong bulge
would take place in the wheat market
at the opening. Country o,f(lorj,.b;ijl'ltccn
poured in seemingly irr an- endless
stream and in obedience the. brokers
stood ready to buy millions of bushels.
The shorts were in a highly nervous
condition nnd eager to cover. The ro
sult 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 trado was too big
and broad to bo followed with any cer
tainty and brokers filled orders fre
quently several cents away from the
point at which they had hoped to bu.
Tho confusion was so great that for a
Kfew minutes but little actual business
was transacted, brokers fighting and
struggling in an effort to get hold of
wheat from anybody at any price. July
options sold as soon as figures could
be registered at anywhero between 93
and 9, which was iy4 to 1 above the
closine last week. December showed a
wider range than cither of the other
options and the opening quotations ran
between 90 nnd 103. This price was
1& to 8 cents above tho final quotations
Saturday. The rush of buyqing orders
sedmed to come from almost every city
Jn the United States. They camo from
Winnipeg nnd from Louisiana, from
points on the Pacific and the Atlantic
seaboards. Professional traders are of
opinion that tho opening was a little
ioo vigorous and tho chanco to seize
profits on lines of long wheat carried
over Sunday was tempting As soon,
therefore, as trado steadied millions of
bushels were thrown on tho market on
roalizing sales and tho advance was
for a time checked. Buying orders,
however, still poured in and tho maj,
kVt soared up again.

Tho Engineer's Story
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal., May 13.
At 1 o 'clock today "Coroner " Halraer
summoned a jury. Jor the, iuquest on J&.
eleven vigtims of Saturday's wreck ats. . "
Honda. Nino men wejc sworn in an"df
several witnesses examined. The itSH'i
evidence was tbat of Fred Champlaiijf
engineer of tho wrecked train. He ia
tqo ill to appear and his deposition
taken by the coroner is as follows:
"Wc were running at the rate of
thirty-five or forty miles an hour when
the accident happened, which occurred
at Honda, in Santa Barbara county, at
tho east switch. The, first intimation
of tho accidqnt was a short jerking ,
back of the engine, as though something
had gone wrong. My impression isv
that cither tho tender or the baggage
car left the track, causing the derail
ment of the engine, dining car and ono
or more cars. I have no idea what
caused the troubfe. Tho derailment oc- '
curred right on tho switch. The en-i
gino passed safely over the switch with- -out
trouble. At the point where tho
accident occurred the track is straight
and on nearly level ground. The track
at that 'point was considered one of tho
safest pieces of track the company has. (
The train did not exceed the schedule.
(Signed, "FRED CHAMPLAIN."
Edwin C. Kern of '"Rajah Temple,
Reading, Pa., testified that the train
was running at a terrific speed. G. F.
Mertz of the same temple said he was
suro tho train was running fifty miles
an hour and that the, roadbed was in
very bad condition. Train Dispatcher
Walters testified that tho train could-
not have been going at, a rate over
thirty-five miles and hour nnd gave the,,
time at various points, which seemed to
provo his' contention. He thought the
causo would never bo known. The jury
took tho case at 3:30 o'clock and delib- .
erated until 5 o'clock, when it brought ,.
in tho verdict:
"From evidence of witnesses tho
wreck was caused by defective railroad '
and equipment."
