THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1897. WOMEN RIOTERS ARE ARRESTED Wives and Daughters of Striking Miners on Guard. Making Things Lively for the imported “Scab’” La- borers. One Encounter in Which a Pursued Man Firad Five Shots Into a Crowd. ALTOONA, Pa., July 16.—Forty-two wives and daughters of striking miners of Galliizin were placed under arrest to- day and charged with rioting. The women have been particulariy active since the strikers’ places were filled with foreign aborers. Last evening when Charles Stein, a scab miner, came out of the mine be was met by an angry mob of women, who had congregated to drive away the | scabs. They followed Stein half a mile to his home, throwing sticks and stones at him. Fearing that he was about to be murdered, Stein in desperation drew a revolver and fired five shots into the crowd pursuing am but as far as is known none were in d. have armed themselves and the company has taken ste o protect them from the v of the women.

TORONTO, OxTARIO, July 16.—This was the first really busy day with the Epworth League convention. Eigbt of the largest hails in the city were filled with 20,000 league delegates and their friends, and many of the churches were used tor their gatherings.

There was nothing elevating in the amusement. Late nours, the extravagance of dress and frequent immodesty in dress and pose pos- ses-ed an element «f life which led astray. Billiards and pool tue spraker regarded as in theinsclves pleasant firms of arsuse- ment and games of skill, but he con- demned them because of their unalloyed asxaciations with the saloon and other places of evil.

Face to Face at the Railroad Station She Placed Her | Hand in His. The Husband Walited for Hours and Visited Saloons to Qulet His Nerves. CHICAGO, Iri., July 16.—Mlllionaire Jobn Bradbury of California met his pretty wife at the Northwestern depot at 9:15 o’clock to-night. Mrs. Bradbury was | accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Ban- ning. )4 Toe train was fourteen hours behind time, and the anxious huspand went to the depot several times only to be disap- pointed. He was there this evening be- fore 7 o’clock and awaited the arrival of his recreant spouse with much anxiety. He occasionally made visits to the nu- merous saloons across the street and drank old rye to steady his nerves. As the train rolled into the depot Brad- bury became very nervous, but gave a | bappy smile as he saw the- two women | alight from the overiand steps. He hur- ried to them and, putting his arms about his motuer-in-law’s neck, kissed her. There was some hesitation when he turned to his wife. No words of pleading or forgiveness had passed between them, and none was spoken as they met. Bradbury held out his hand, Mrs. Brad- bury put her gloved palm in his and they shook hands as strangers might. M Bradbury was dressed in a travoling suit of dark blue and was heavi'y veiled. The the way to a waiting carriage. drove to the Wellington Hotel and with- out registering were shown to parlor A. In response to THE CALL reporter’s card word was returned that they were not in, and orders were left at the office that they ‘were not to be disturbed. During the day sr. Bradbury received numerous telegrams, but would not dis- cuss their contents. Not a word would he utter. If the messages were from his penitent he gave no indications of it. It is thought, however, they were. He bought up checkboys, bellboys and mes- senger-boys to aid in keeping reporters at a distance. The clerks at the desk were at his rervice, Chis is my business” was Mr. Bradbury’s ultimatum. He saw no reason why the public should have any interest 1n his wife or in himself, Mr. Bradbury took life easily to-day. He did not arise until the clock pointed to 10, although he had his breakfast brought to him earlier. When he did don bis natty suit of clothes he sent down word that under no conditions was he to be disturbed by reporte; His word was respected. No one | was allowed above the lobby of the | hotal. message. He sent another in return and immediately prepared to leave the hotel. | He siippea a $5 bill into acheckboy’s hand. This individual did his work. Mr. Bradbury wes piloted down a back stairs | and through the barroom to a carriage. | He stopped on the way, but absolutely refused 10 give out any information. He took the waiting carriage, but returned in alew minutes. He sentanother message by telephone, and again the hotel atiache piloted him throu:h the hotel. He an- nounced that he would return inside of an hour. Hedrove leisurely around the city, but did not return until dinner time. _I: was thought that ths penitent wife was in the city at the home of some friends. The notoriety which Bradbury has already received appears to Lave disturbed him greatly. At midnight Bradbury wired his brother at Los Angeles: “We will start West to- morrow.

LEXINGTON, Kv., July 16 —Judge | Faiconer this afternoon acquitted Jacob Harris, who killed his wife's paramour, Thomas H. Merritt, a pension atorney, in Gratz Park on Friday night last.

Harris’ wife appeared in court to-day for the first time, and the | clerk of the Georgetown Hotel identifiea | her as the woman who spent the night of | June 21 at the hotel with Merritt. This identification was made in the presence of Mrys. Harris’ venerable father, Rev. F. 8.

SIS I CONFEREES AnGUE IN ANGER. Allison H. ard Pounding a Desk i Pro- testatson Ayainst the Tarff Pians of the House. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—The deadlock of the conlerence commitiee ou the tariff continmes. The indications point to a disagreement so radical and so determined that an amicable settlemert isout of the question. The only thing | left for the conferees to do therefore is to report that fact to the two houses. This js tne third evening there has been no session of the conferees. To-day's afternoon sesslon made up, in its inten- sity, for several night sessions, and it is probable that the chief reason for adjourn- | ment was a general desire 1o avoid a repe- tition of to-days scenes behind the clcsed | doors of the Finance Committee room. | The afternoon session began at 2 o’clock | as usual. An bour from that time the voices of the conferees were plainly heard | outside in the cérridor in angry disoute, and shortly after 3 o’clock the various | memters of 1he conjerence sauntered out | and disappeared sbout the building, al- though nominally the conference was still i | in session. Chairman Dingley wentto the | Speaker’s room, where he spent an hour in consultation with Reed. Stortly after 4 o’clock the conferees re- assembled and sat untl about 6:30. Just before that bour tue passionate. verbal wartare of the early afternoon was re- newed. The angry voices of both Sena- tors and Representatives were heard ali talking at once, and belore the storm was | over the words of one of the Senate cou- | ferees were plainly distinguished down the corridor as far as the main door to the Senate chamber, which is about 100 feet from where the Senator was standing in the committee-room. He was expostulat- ing with the House conferees and protest- ing that their attitude was unjust. The | speaker was Allison, usually 4 man o1 | mild disvosition and temperate language, | | but bis angry words to-day were accom- { panied by pounding on nis desk which, )uunever, was vigorous enough to drown | the babel of voices caused by the concert | of indignant House conferees. When the cunference dispersed the Senators were ail in an angry mood, and ihey resented what they termed the uufair attitude of the r House coileagues. It was learned to-night that the plan proposed by the House conlerees for reaking the deadlock, and against whict, tue Senate protested, is the plan favored ! by Reed anu the one 1hat heis endeavor- iig 10 have the conference adopt. This | plan is based on ihe assumpiion tbat the sugar schedule is the cuief obstacle to agreement in conference and prov des for a report upoh ail other uispu.ed item , leaving the sugar schedule untouched to be passed upon by the Hou-e and Senate, | by means of instructions to tue conferees | in regard 1o tueir attitude upon this par- ticular schedule. Tecnnically this would not be reporting a disagreement as 1o the sugar schedule, but praciically it would be. | The Senate conferees say that 1o report a disagreement now would be to run the r sk of having the bill defeated altogether, and they are standing togeiher as one man in :avor of the Senate schedule, The reports representing Senators Al- drich aud Jones of Nevada as being tne only obstinate men among the Senate conferees is nonsense, as it is very wel known to those who know about the { doings of this conlerence that Senators | Allison, Platt of Connecticut and Burrows are standing up as firmly for the Senate sugar schedule as are Aldrich and Jones. e | | | | f Miciragua Canal Commissioners. | WASHINGTON, v. C, July 16.—After | discussion in 1o day’s Cabinet meeting about the appoiniment of the commission authorized by Congre:s 10 report on the feasibili'y or the Niceragua canal, the President said he would nominate Rear- Admiral John G. Walker as naval mem- ver, and Capfain O. M. Carter, engineer corps, as army member. Some doubt was expressed at the meeting as to whether Professor Haupt of the University of Pennsylvania, who nas,been selected as the civilian member, would accept the place, and the President sent him a tele- gram tendering the commissionership. R SR Deputies to Iie Discharged. WASHINGTON, D.

Hugh Craig of San Francisco Unanimously Elected President. Important Resolutions Offered on Irrigation, Agriculture and ! River Improvements. | SALT LAKE, Utan, July 16.—There was a larger attendance than usual at the Trans-Mississippi Congress 10-aay. The proceedings were enlivened by the discus- sion of the free-silver resolution offered yesterday by Patterson of Colorado. The majority report on free silver was adopted by a big majority. Hugh Cralg of California spoke i favor of the minority report. Nibley of Oregon said that the congress would not die, no matter what resolutions were adopted, but that the adoption of a free-silver reso- lution would be injudicious at this time. Thompson of Nevraska spoke briefly in support of the majority report. Hesaid | tais body in former years had discussed | become a principle of a political party, it is proposed to drop it. Richardson offered a resolution indors- ing the single gold standard and pledging the congress to work for the correction of financial evils. The resolution, after con- siderabie debate, was defeated on a vote of 204!{ noes to 853{ ayes. Patterson of Colorado made an earnest speech in be- nalf of the main resolution. Hon. W. J. Bryan also spoke in favor of the majority report. His speech was fer- vid and eloquent and bristled with free si ver epigrams. He said that this was no more of a political question than was the case of Cuba. While Spain was butcher- ing the Cubans the gcld standard was slaughtering Americans; while Spair was devastating Cuban territory the gold standard was devastating American ter- ritory of far greater area and importance; while the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Smalley) and his State gave 50,000 ma jor- 1y for the single standard, the fact was that the vote of Minnesota, and of the country generally, was for bimetallism, either internationally or independently. | of oratory been | marked to T CALL representative, on his | been one at least of the red-letter days in | butter, is an example of the latier class. election of a secretary and assistant sec- retary be deferred until the place of the next meeting be fixed. The report was unanimously adopted. The next place of meeting will be decided on to-morrow. This evening at 8 o’clock 8000 people crowded the Saltair pavilion, on the shores of the great Salt Lake, where vari- ous speeches and other entertainments were given. The chief feature of the evening, however, was the bimetallic speech of Mr. Bryan and his response to Thomas Kearns of Park City, who in be- half of the citizens of Utah presented the ex-candidate for the Piesidency with a mammoth silver cup made of the preduct of Utah mines. The cup stands two feet in height, and is valued at $700. Mr. Kearns' remarks were brief, but tbose of Mr. Bryan, in acknowledging the receipt of the tribute from the people of Utah, regardless of political faith, were some- what lengthy. N:.ver since that memor- able day in Chicago has William Jennings Bryan been so deeply stirre 1; never in the | history of the great resort hassuch a tlood heard. Mr. Bryan re- return to the city, when asked as to his opinion of his reception in Salt Lake: “I shall never forget it. To-night has my life. Utah’s people honored me greatly by their voies atthe last election; to-night tney have bestowed honors which I prize above that. God bless them all.” FINAL LECTURE AT WRIGHTS. Hghland Grange Summer School Closes Wih a Taik on the Subjsct of Food Adul:eration. WRIGHTS, Can, July 16.—The third annual session of the Higbland Grange | Summer School of Economics and Hus- bandry came to a close this afternoon | with a hinal lecture by Professor M. E, Jaffa on the subject of food adulteration. He spoke in part as follows: There are {wo main classes of food adultera- tions, those which are harmful and poisonous and those which are harmless and may be called deceptives. O.ecmargarine, which con- 1ains as much nutriment and is cheaper ll}nn Tise harmful adulteranis are all the more danger- ous because tastcless and are oniy disclosed | by analysis. They are chiefly antisept cs, being generally used as preservatives, killing | bacteria and preventing molds. In all the | digestive juices, howcver, are lerments which assst_in the process of digesiiou, and these are killed by the antiseptics und the digestive process is thus arrested. They are of course especially dangerous for invalids and persons of weak digestion. The principal adulterants of this class are There was no question before this con- gress as important as the one whizh con- sidered the separation of the interests of this country from Lombard and Wall streets. A vote was taken on the first part of the resolution commending the action of the President in sending a commitiee abroad to secure international bimetallism. With t is part of the resolution is appended a statement that the effort of President Mc- Kinley shows that the goid standard is not beneficial to the interests of the coun- try. The president decided that this part could not be separated from the commen- dation. An appeal was taken and then withdrawn, and then the decision was withdrawn. The vote was then taken by roli-call on the original resolution. The question came up whether the delegates from any State (when less than ten), | would be entitled to vote ten if some of the members of that delegation were not The chair decided that ten votes could be cast. Before the final vote was taken Presi- dent W.J. Bryan thanked the congress for the honor conterred on him by the congress and for their courteous treat- ment. He then introduced the new pres: dent, Hugh Craig of San Francisco. Mr. Craig read the vote on the siiver resolution. It was 244 in favor of the reso- lution and 46 against it. A delegate from Colorado offered a reso- lution recommending economy in the ex- penses of the Government. It provides that whenever the expenditures of the General Government for any month ex- ceed the revenues for that month all sala- ries exceeding $200 per month snall be cut 20 per cent and ail others 10 per cent. Waterhouse of Missouri introduced a resolution asking ior the experimental culture of ramie by the Government. Ford of California offered a resolution asking Congress 1o protect and improve the Sacramento and Feather rivers and o dredge them. Bryan of Louisiana offered a resolution expressing the sympathy of the conven- tion with the convention shortly to sit at Davenport, Iowa, toconsider the improve- ment of Western waterways, Maxfield of Nevada offered a resolution providing for the creation of a land com- | mission, the survey, classification and sale of public lands and the preparation of in- formation showing what waters are avail- able for irrigation, etc. The committee of permanent organiza- tion reported recommending Hugh Craig of San Francisco for president, Charles H. Connell of Minnesota, L. Bradiora Prince of New Mexico and Breedlove Smith of Lounisiana first, second and third vice- presiden . s respectively.

They are perfectly harmless, but their use without notice to the public is a traud on the buyer and the honest producer. Laws have becnn passed to regulale their use and requiring all such products 1o be labeled now just what they are buying. Uuder these Tesirictions the:e is no harm whatever in their manufacture and | use. Many of the spices sold ground are adul- teruted. The cause of any trouble which arises from the use of canned goods is in the way in which they are put up aud not in| adulterations. At the conclusion of the lecture E. F. Adams made some remarks in reszard to the work of the Summer School. He said that peorle who do not take advantage of the opportunities which are offered by such institutions as the Summer School and do not keep abreast of advanced thoughts in husbandry will be rooted out in the competition with their more pro- gressive neighbors, The race is dead in ‘America, he said, which was able, as it exhausted the ferti.ity of the soil in omne place to move to another. Places where these things were understood anda rational methods pursued were getting better prices for their products than otker com- munities and he boped that such might be the fortune of this community. He described the school as a social experi- ment. e LUGO EXAMINED AT HANFOKD. The Notorious Horsethief Has Served g Term Bejore. HANFORD, Can, Julv 16.—The pre- liminary examination of Santos Lugo, the notorious horsethief who was captured at Tehachapi and brought here on the first of this month after baving eluded the officers of this county for over two years by traveling all about the State, was beld here to-day and resulted 1n his being held to answer before the Superior Court on a charge of grand larceny, with bai! fixed at $1000, in default of which he is now in il 4 During the trial quite an interesting fact was revealed, which may possibly tend to lengthen Lugo’s sentence.

FENNELLS BEFORE A FRESNO COURT Proceedings Brief and Behind Closed Doors. Plaintiff’s Charge of Infidelity Is Supported by a Witness. No Defense Is Made by the Hus- band—The Case Taken Under Advisement. FRESNO, CaL., J 16.—The divorce suit of Amanda J. Feunell against Gerald M. Fennell was tried this morning before Judge Conley of Madera, who is presid- ing in Department 2 of the Superior Court during the adsence of Judge Webb. The proceedings were comparatively brief, hardly an bour being occupied, and the court took the case under advisement. The plaintiff, nerself, and A. Brown, whose home is in New York, were the only witnesses examined, the defense not placing any on the stand. The hearing was held behind closed doors at the re- quest of both parties. Mrs. Fennell was represented by Attorney Frank H. Short, and the husband by W. T. Porter. The ground on which the divorce is asked is infidelity on the part of Mr. Fen- nell, and the complaint contains no other allegation on which the decree of separa- tion is asked. Tueoffense was committea at a certain place known s the Loraine House, in Los Angeles, several months ago, and the erring husband made no denial of the charge in court to-day. The plaintiff went upon the stand first and testified that she was living at Los Angeles at the time of the faithlessness of her husband. While they were not co- habiting as man and wife, baving had a disagreement, Mrs. Fennell noticed that her husband was staying out at late and unusual hours of the night. She insti- tuted inquiry as to where he was spend- ing his time, and was told that if she weuld watcih the Loraine House she would learn where he wa<. The plaintiff had a watch placed on her husband, and | what she had been informed proved to be correct, This was the substance of the woman's brief testimony. Mr. Brown was then | called. He bad accompanied Mr. Fennell | to the questionable house on the occasion indicated in the complaint and supported | the allegation. Trafford Hutesman of the Val Verde Mining Company of Los Angeles had accompanied the witness and Fennell to the place. Neither of the witnesses had testified as | to the character of the house in question, | and in response to a question by Judge Conley Mr. Brown amusingly stated that The defense had no testimony to offer and the court ‘ten announced that he would take the case under advisement. He will probably render a decision uext | week, | Mrs. Fennell this evening accorded THE | CaLL correspondent an intarview, and she | positively denied that there was any col- | lusion between herself and Mr. Fennell to secure the aivorce. She hati explained to him the conclusive evidence she had against him and he admitied that it was a suflicient ground on whieh she couid obtain a divorce. When she expressed her determination to sue for a separation and he realized | that he couid not swerve her from her purpose, he agreed not to cause her any trouble, being convinced that she would be eucces<ful in the end, any way. He came to Fresno recently and they ar- ranged their business atfairs amicably. Mrs. Fennell stated that her husband aeemed this to e the sensible way of set- tling the matter. Mrs. Fennell declined to state what the ground was on which she based the action, and refused to talk of what iranspired in the courtroom. “I only wish to speak well of Mr. Fen- nell, for he hasa manly character in many respects,’’ said Mrs. Fennell. *I never expect 10 see him again, but if we do meet we suall be friends. I intend to make Fresno my permanent home, and it has, in fact, been my home for several months. When I was in Los Angeles Iconsulted Mr. Hunsaker, my atiorney there, with a view to filing the divorce suit in that county, but he told me that my residence was in Fresno and that I must bring the action here. Iam now moving my furni- jure into my residence on M street and shall make my home there. Of course the unpieasant notoriety given me in this case by the newspapers is very disagree- able, and I think the comments of the Ex- positor are outrageous. They are so out oi place that I think they will react stronglv against the paper.” Mr. Fennell left on this evening’s train for Flagsiaff, Ariz., where he has mining interests and an insurance business. He was urged by his friends to go. The Expositor again had a ‘‘roast” for the couple this evening and Mr. Fennell was inclined to make another effort to force Editor Ziegenfuss to sign a retrac- tion, but friends gave him bettér counsel. it e iR THROWN FEKOM 4 KACEHORSE. | | | | Miss Eva Powell of Alameda Sustains Seriows Injury.

C., July 16.—News came to-day that considerabld trouble has arisen in Japan in connection with the collec- tion of the new income tax. At Nagoya the statements of income supplied by the taxpayers have all been rejected by the officials as false. The officials claim the amounts should be three to ten times as great as stated by the taxpayers.
