Officer Rhodes testified that on the 9th of March the police were notified that there was something irregular at the house; went there and found the prisoner sick, and she protested that she had no child; paid a second visit to the house and found ‘the child hanging up in a closet Ina bag. - Dr. B.

Miller, who appears with Mr. Greer for the prisaner, said’ that this was a case which the court should take from the jury, for there was doubt that the child was porn alive. ‘The court declined to do this, and Mr. Taggert Proceeded to argue the cgse, claiming that the crime had been committed as charged. ‘VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY. ‘Messrs.

About 8 o'clock the drivers on the Metropol- {tan road, having received no favorable response from the managers of the road for an increase of ‘Wages and a decrease of working time, began to tura in their cars, and soon no cars were running onthe road. As fast as the drivers turned In they were paid off and discharged In orJer, as the officials of the company, stated that they might have no pretext for staying about the stables. The em- ployes of the Metropolitan road, after their strike, adjourned over to the stables of the Washington and Georgetown road, and a large crowd of people Were collected in that vicinity about six o'clock. The striking Metropolitan drivers went there, some of their members stated, for the purpose of inducing tho W. and G. men to stick to their pledge. ‘Their mission was to some extent suc- cessful, for about half-past six o'clock the drivers on the 'W. and G. road began to turn in their cars, In two or three cases 1¢ was reported cars were stoned, but no damage was done. The crowds along the tracks, however, preseptea a threaten- ing ‘appearance, and at 7 o'clock President Hurt deemed ‘it wise to order all the cars in. Three men were arrested in the crowd by the police for disorderly conduct, two of whom were sald to be identified with the strikers. At nine o’clock last night there Were no cars running onelther the Washington and Georgetown lines, the Metropolitan lines or the Belt line, aad belated Wayfarers and theater-goers had to make use of the herdies, the cabs and other public conveyances, all of which profited by the street-car strike. The Washington and Georgetown company advertises to-day for conductors and drivers, and the Metro- politan company for drivers. WHAT A KNIGHT OF LABOR SAYS. Mr. Taylor, of the Knights of Labor, said this afternoon they had the 14th street cars turned in, and by three o'clock, or by night at furtherest, ex: pected to have the 7th street cars in. He sald the avenue cars were now being run by “scabs,” mostly, and hill boys and cart drivers. He sald the situation was unchanged on the Metropolitan and Belt roads, and the strikers were not disposed to yield; that'the few cars they had out will be turned in to-night. ‘The Columbla road will re- main as it fs, he sald, and so will the Anacostia, as the men are satisfied. Situation To-day on the W. & G. Road. STRIKE ON THE IMTH STREZT LINE—A HORSE JOINS ‘THE STRIKERS, ‘This morning the cars appeared as usual on the Washington and Georgetown line and its 7h and 1ith street branches, The three-ceat hobtail” cars on the avenue line, however, did not come out. A crowd of men, all of whom were said to be strikers, visited the 14th street stabies about ten o'clock and held a conference with the drivers, and the result was that all of the drivers, except three, quit work, and a “state of strike” was declared on that line. Just after the strike was declared one of the non-strikers at- tempted to takeacar out. When the horse got out of the stable he refused to buige another inch. ‘This caused considerable amusement among the strikers, wha considered ita good omen that even the horses were in sympathy. They sald that the horse, which was a veteran on the road, never before refused to go. The strikers good naturedly put their shoulders to the car and attempted to oblige the horse to move. but he displayed such firmness that finally he was allowed to turn in. About the Wasiington ani Georgetown office and stables thismorning everything was quiet, thougn many stragglers remalied about the vicin- ity. PRESIDENT HURT sald toa Srar reporter about noon to-day that the 1th street, 7th street and avenu> cars were allrunning on time this morning. He had just heard by telephone of the strike on the 14th street line and that a crowd of strikers had gone out to the stables and forced the men to quit. On the avenue line, Mr. Hurt said,they had not attempted to run the llctie three-cent cars, but had used the horses 80 a8 to run extra double cars for through travel. “We thought we could, in this way, better ac- commodate the public,” bald Mr. Hert.’ “As travel is stopped on the other roads it causes a greater demend on us. ‘The issue has been made by the strikers themselves. The question ts whether a company shall be allowed to run Its own affairs or whether the Knights of Labor shall run the com- Pany.' WHAT THE DIRECTORS OF THE ROAD SAY. One of the directors of the W. & G. company stated that if the demand was for only one cent in- crease, coming in the form it did, he would never be in favor of ylelding to tt. Mr. C. C. Giover, a director of the road, whom a. STA reporter met in the office, said that he thought, as a rule, the employes of the company were well satisfed and that they were forced into the strike to ald the strike on other roads. “It ts unfair to our road,” said Mr. Glover, “to demand of us $2.50 aday. ‘These little sums when added together amount toagreat deal. It we should grant this demand we would have to borrow Inoney every month to pay our men. This extra compensation would amount to about $40,000 a year, and thit would take about all the money usually paid out in dividends.” ‘st Suppose YoU apprehend further trouble to- might?” “We intend to order the cars in early to-night,” sald Mr. Glover. ‘We do not think It right to risk the lives of any of our men or of passengers. It may cause some inconvenience, but it will not do to have anyone injured. In my opinion this strike ‘will soon be settled, especially if the newspapers do not get up any excitement over it.” The Metropolitan Road Strike. WHAT PRESIDENT THOMPSON SAYS OF THE SITUA- ‘TION. “We have only two cars running on the F street Une now,” sald Mr. J. W. Thompson this morning, in answer to inquiries as to the condition of affairs, “ We started with four cars, but the men report that they are unable to stand, the intimi- dation brought to bear upon them. I learn from the Georgetown stables that strangers get on the cars with the drivers and so intimidate them that when they return they turn in. There are plenty of the employes who would work, but they are hooted at from one end of the line to the other, and are in fear of bodily harm. I feel very kindly towards the men,” continued Mr. Thompson, “and Iwas in hopes that the difficulties could $e ad- justed without the strike. When the committee Waited upon me yesterday I advised them to moderation, “ and ~ suggested their conferring with the employes of other Toads, and we would act fairly by them We would do what the other roads would do, but their demands were peremptory, and if not ‘complied with they said they would strike atonce. We could not concede everything to them. You see, Was not simply a request, for higher wages that they made. ‘The men were getting good wages and there had been no complaint on that score. ‘They were perfectly willing when the change W: made that the work of three men should be given tofour men. This change made thelr pay tess, Dut it also made thelr working hours less. Their demands in detail were such that they could not be conceded without turning over to them the en- Ure control of the road. ‘They wanted a day’s work to consist of not over thirteen hours, and fixed. six trips on the Georgetown line and nine on the Capitol line as a day’s work, and also wanted to be paid for extra work from the time they were ordered to report at the rate of 20 cents per hour. Now that would necessitate our putting on six or elght more ata cost of from $6 to $10 dally foreach. They said that unless these demands ‘were granted they would strike at 10 o'clock. We could not, consent to. giving up the control of the pa SD arged and paid ‘Would you have ylelded on the point of higher alone?” asked the reporter. sie fe could have adjusted that matter very readily,” was the answer. “We will endeavor to keep a few cars running until dusk, and then they be turned in. ‘The men are afraid to run at night. I will at once take Steps to get more men. ‘There would be no dificutty in having plenty of men, but for the intimidation of outsiders. 1c men employed as drivers are laborers and farm hands, and they were making even more than ‘they could at their former calling. We will get a force of workingmen at once to run our cars, Situation on the Belt Line To-day. THEY EXPECT TO HAVE ALL THE CARS ON TO-MOR- the board present excepi one, wita Mr. Willard in the chair. Mr, Willard laid before the bo :rd a communica- tion from Mr. Wm. Hi. Jounson, a car driver, In Which the writer says: “T have been delegated by the members of the Sireet Car Union to solicit an increase in our wages. We are now receiving $1.98 per diem, whieh we now urgentiy ask In- creased to $2.25 perdiem. We aiso ssx payment for extra work at the rate of 20cents per hour. The board discussed the situation.
