Although these precautions were deemed necessary, the second day of the controversy between the Draymen's Association passed with- out any serious breach of the peace. Between the two organizations, despite the strained relations at present existing, the best of feeling prevails.

Out of the wvo- cabulary of the teamster, gathered from years of experience in handling a balky team, the cholcest epithets are hurled, and the result is generally a get-off-the- box policy on the part of the driver.

Wilson pulled a revolver out of his pocket and shoved it into Palunco’s face. Quiet Along the Front. All was quiet along the water front. Al- though a, large number of the strikers congregafed at the various wharves, es- pecially at Jackson-street wharf, there was mnot the ast disturbance. The strikers confined themselves to peacefully persuading the teamsters who had taken | their places to desert their jobs. In many cases their effort were successful, and the drivers were induced to turn back with their loads of merchandise after they had reached the dock. Policemen were on de- tail all day along the front, but in no in- stance was their services required furth- er than to keep back the crowds. The threatened accumulation of fruit at the Jackson-street wharf was almost en- tirely provided for, and it is safe to say that exceedingly little fruit will be de- stroyed. The merchants impressed into service express and delivery wagons and in some instances members of the firms e R AVOR G, TO_INDUL e - s 1 3 —4 | SOME INCIDENTS OF THE SECOND DAY OF THE STRIKE BETWEEN THE DRAYMEN AND THEIR FORMER EMPLOYES, WITH POLICE- night. As teams loaded with freight drove past the headquarters to the freight de- pots on Townsend street, between Fourth and Fifth strects, the men lined up on | both sides of the street and each driver who was not recognized as a member of the union had to run the gamut of sallies, | witty and otherwise. Extraordinary precautions were taken by Chief of Folice Sullivan to preserve the peace, but there was scarcely any | necessity for the presence of officers. The men of the morning watch were held in reserve, but were not called upon for ac- tive service. Seventeen mounted men pa- trolled the downtown district, while extra men were detailed in other directions. Chief Sullivan and Captain Wittman drove through the wholesale disigict and found everything quiet and orderly. The men will, however, be held in reserve for the next three or four days, or until the trou- ble js adjusted. At midnight the patrol- men going off duty were ordered to report this morning at 7 a. m., instead of at noon. | Seeretary Ed Rosenberg of the San Francisco Labor Council had a conference during the day with the executive com- mittee of the teamsters. He declined to 1give any expression of views regarding | the situation or its outcome. Upon the de- | velopments of the next few days will de- pend whether affiliated unions will be | called upon to go out in sympathy with | the teamsters. The executive committee | of the Labor Council will meet to-night {and action may be taken at that time if the situation so warrants. Customs Collector Stratton swore in two | non-union drivers yesterday as customs inspectors. The men are engagdd in haul- ing bonded goods from the wharves to the bonded warehouses and the Apprais- er’s store, and the badge of authority was bestowed upon them for protection and to distinguish them from non-union drivers working for private parties. The only steamers from foreign ports that are now Gue are the San Blas from Panema and way ports and the Coptic from China and Japan. This will add to the trouble on the front, but the freight will be moved by the United States Gov- ernment at any cost. Extra men will be sworn in as the occasior. demands. N. A.

For the most part the can- neries and wholesale houses were the ones that suffered the greatest loss. A great portion of the surplus fruit, for which there was no conveyance, was shipped to the cities around the bay. The Caroline carried 140) cases to Tiburon, whence they will be shipped to the Santa Rosa cannery. Another load of 500 boxes was conveyed on the steamer San Jose to the Garden City, while the steamer Dauntless carried a cargo of 1000 boxes to Oakland, By night the surplus fruit on the wharf had been materially decreased. During the morning hours the Overland | Transfer Company succeeded in. trans- porting from the Pacific Mail dock thfte loads of bonded goods. In order to do so, however, the company was forced to em- ploy non-union men and to have them sworn in as United States custom inspect- ors. If the strikers should attempt to in- terfere with the Overddnd Transfer Com- pany’s teamsters, after they have taken the oath as custom inspectors, the United States would take a hand in the matter. Secretary McLaughlin. of the Draymen’s Asscciation and Brotherhood of Team- sters, in speaking of the trouble last night, stated that as yet no attempt would be made to call out any more men and that the merchants who were acting fair toward the teamsters need have no fear. He said, however, that there were some who were acting in a very underhanded manner, professing to, be neutral while in reality they were doing all in their power to injure the, cause of the strikers. Such merchants, hé declared, would be summarily dealt with by the brotherhood. Teamsters Are in Good Spirits. In reviewing the developments of the difficulties and the teamsters’ possibility of winning. he said: ‘‘The teamsters are all in good spirits and the prospects of an early and favorable termination could not be more encouraging. I estimate that there are in the nelghborhoc(j of 1200 teamsters now out.” Owing to a personal grievance ten team- sters who were employed by A. M. Bar- rett, a lumberman at Fourth and Berry streets, went on a strike yesterday. Thelir strike was not authorized by the union, and it in no way affects the great body of lumber haulers. ‘Secretary George Renner of‘the Dray- GOMEZ FAVORS SENOR PALMA Cuban General Explains Why He Visited This Country. —_—— Mass of Evidence Against Neely for Alleged Postal Theft.

Baring Is Made an Earl. LONDON, July 23.—King Edward has raised- Evelyn Baring, First Viscount Cromer, to an earldom. L e e e men's Association is a firm bellever in the ultimate victory of the merchants and the association. He is of the opinion that the end of the difficulties is but a few days distant. Yesterday he issued the follow- ing statement: ‘“There are now about 1500 teamsters out, but the merchants are not experiencing much difficulty in having their draying done. To-day we expect to have at least 300 more teamsters at work. The merchants and draymen are stand- ing hand in hand, and they cannot pos- sibly be prevented from winning out.” At the instance of the Employers’ Asso- ciation the Board of Police Commissioners appointed fifty-four special policemen to do strike service and protect the stables in which non-union teams are quartered. The officers will be furnished by Curtin's Detectlve Agency. —_— MUNICIPAL LEAGUE HAS MANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS Committee Appointed to Wait on the Mayor and Have Special Meet- ing Called. A committee appointed by President N. B. Greensfelder of the Executive Council of the Municipal League will wait on the Mayor to-day and request him to call a conference of the presidents and secre- taries of the various municipal organiza- tions of this city, with a view to deter- mining whether something can not bhe done to relieve the situation before the entire commerce of this city is paralysed. The committee is composed of the follow ing members: Henry Kahn, A. Roberts, 8. Bare, Rev. J. Nieto, W. M. Wiel, A. J. Vining, Dr. A. Fisk, W. A. Desborough, | C. Alpérs and Livingston Jenks. | _This committee will meet in room 76, Flood building, at 2 o'clock to-day and | later_visit the city’s chief executive and | the Executive Committee of the Iron Trades Council. | The meeting of the Municipal League last night was a highly interesting cne. N. A. Greensfelder presided and Joseph | 8. Jordan made an efficient secretary. The league effected permanent organization. The report of the nominating committee | was received and adopted. At a meeting of the executive committee | held on July 16 Secretary Jordan was | instructed to communicate with the Metal Trades Association and Iron Trades Coun- cil, with a view of securing from them an’ expression of their willingness to sub- mit the question at issue in its entirety | to a joint committee of an equal number from both sides; and in the event of a dis- agreement of the joint committee, the entire question to be submitted to a board of arbitration. The following reply was re‘celved from the Metal Trades Associ- ation: “Owning your valued favor of July 17 we beg to say that we are now, as we always have been, willing to confer indi- vidually with our own employes.” The followisg reply was sent by the | Iron Trades Coupcil under date July 22: “Yours of the 16th to hand and contents .noted. In answer would say that the Iron Trades Council has a committee of five with full power to act in regard to settle- ment of all questions in dispute, barring | | the nine hour day: which is not open for discussion.” The committee in its report embodied the foregoing replies and suggested that a committee wait upon the Iron Trades Council. The suggestion was acted upon. The following resolution. was submitied and adopted: Whereas, the present Industrial troubles in | San Francisco prove the necessity of an arbi- tration law; and Whereas, the Municipal League has been sin- cerely endeavoring to act as a Non-Partisan Industrial Conciliation Council, but, being without legal authority, cannot secure the requisite information to arrive at the truth and solution of the differences between the con- tending parties; therefore t Resolved, That a committee on legislation be appolnted, consisting of not fess than three members, to prepare an act, similar to the one now in force in the State of Colorado, which act is to be submitted to the San Francisco muniei- pal conventions for adoption and recommenda- tion to the Legislature, and copy of same to be sent fo municipal organizations in every city | on the coast with a view of having effective arbitration legisiation recommended, tending toward the prevention of a repetition of the | present strikes and lockouts that are of such | great injury to the industrial welfare of our city and State. GHETgReL ¢ arbers’ Meeting. The Mastfr Barbers' Association held a | meeting at 102 O'Farrell street last night | and decided to hold a joint-meeting of the | boss and journeymen barbers on Monday | evening next. This meeting will be held | at 32 O'Farrell street and is called for the | purpose of discdissing sanitary conditions | and to keep up the present prices.

Alexander, Committed to State Hospital for Demented for Threatening to Kill His Wife, and Held Pending Departure, Gains - His Freedom Through the Connivance of His Beautiful Daughter Lillie AKLAND, July 23.—"“I am your only prisoner.” These were the words with which Miss Lillie Alexander greeted the atonished warden of the insane department of the Recelving Hospital when he opened the door of the room in which he had left the Rev. Thomas W, Alexander, the father of the young ‘lady, who had just been committed to an insane asylum. The girl by a clever ruse had tricked him into leaving her alone with her father for a few minutes, and while the warden stepped out of the insane ward to leave them together she released him through a back door. L g 8 /1SS — LILLIE ALEXAMDER, — DEMENTED MINISTER'S DAUGHTER AND HER FATHER, WHOSE ES- CAPE FROM A DETENTION CELL AT THE OAKLAND RECEIVING HOSPITAL SHE EFFECTED WITH OFFICIALS NEAR. < TEVEREND . T ALEXANDE R 5 Sz Alexander was committed to Stockton this afternoon by Judge Greene on com- plaint of Mrs. Alexander, against the pro- test of the daughter, who openly rebelled against the effort made by her mother to have her father confined in an insane asy- lum. The girl was not present at the ex- amination, but shortly before her father was to be taken away by the deputy sheriff she arrived at the hospital. In the absence of Warden Page Steward Bor- chert was in charge of the insane ward. Miss Alexander asked Borchert to get her mother’s telephone address and ring her up, as she must talk to her at once. The telephone is in the waiting room, well removed from the wing of the building where the insane paticnts are confined. ‘While Borchert was udying the tele- phone directory the girl closed the door of the waiting room, stepped noiselessly to the insane ward and threw open the window at_the end of the corridor. Tren she opened the door of her father's cell and helped him_through the window. As soon as he had disappeared around the corner of the building she took his piace in the cell and shut the door. When the unsuspecting steward returned she was reading aloud from the testament left be- hind by the preacher. Steward Waits Outside. Hesitating to disturb these pious miinis- trations, the steward waited outside while Miss Alexander read on in reverential tones—and his erstwhile patient made his way up Franklin street to the narrow gauge statlon, as the officers now suppose from the traces found later. Meanwhile Deputy District Attorney Harris, whom Mr. Alexander had requested to come to the Ecspital to advise him with regard to his legal rights, arrived and asked to_be udmitted to the cell. It was then that Steward Borchert found that he had been dupsd. When the full extent of the treachery of which he had been made the victim burst upon him he upbraided the fair conspirator for the betraval of his confidence. *I trusted yeu, and this is the way you pay me back. What shall I do with her, Mr. Harris? She ought to go to the penitentiary for this.” Harris_said he couldn’t see what au- thority Borchert had to confine Miss Ale: _ander in the insane ward, so she walked out, bidding the steward a very cordial good-ofternoon, while that official rushed to the telephone to summon the Sheriff and his deputies. In a few minutes all the men available were detailed on the case. After they had searched the grounds about the hospital, the steward meanwhile looking under all the beds In the insane ward, they discovered that their man had half an hour’s start on them. They then made inquiries about the railroad stations and found that a man answering Alexander’s description had passed up Franklin street haif an hour before, going toward the narrow gauge station, where thére was a (rain nearly due for the city. - Up to a late hour to-night no furthar trace of the fugitive had been found. Th Sheriff’s office has notified the officers throughout the county to be on the look- out for him. Mrs. Alexander was prostrated with ter- ror when she learned of her husband's es- cape. “T cannot comprehend thing yet,” she sald. this dreadful “I have gone through a terrible ordeal to accomplish the commitment and I would never have forced it had I not been driven by the awful peril that has haunted me these last_months. My ghter regarded his fum as a disgrace she would do anything to avert. nnot think that she connived at her father’'s escape. She was here for a few minutes after this happened, but said nothing to_me. She knew it would nearly kill me. She has gone away now again. She is not afraid of her father and is sel- dom at home.” Broke Promise to Be Good. This is the second time My. Alexander has been examined for commlitment, hav- ing been discharged by Judge Ellsworth a month ago, after promising never to molest-his wife again. At that trial he defended himself eloquently, claiming that while he had threatened his wife’s life he did so from excess of love and because she said she was going to get a divorce. ‘When he went from the hospital on that sion_his wife refused to bid -him good- by, but Miss Lillie, who is tall and strik- ingly handsome, embraced him again and again and left a $5 gold piece in his hand as she shook it at parting. At the hearing before Judge Greere to- day Alexander said he did, not wish to say anything in answer t6 the court’s questions, as it was a law of evidence that a man could not be compelled to testify against himself. “Then you admit the truth of the charge?” asked Judge Greene. Alexander sald he had nothing to con- ceal and spoke fluently in his own de- fense. He said that his only crime was in loving his fe too well. His impulsive temper, he said, was to blame for all the rest. Mrs. Alexander said that her husband laid all his actions to divine direction, in- cluding his threats to kill herself. aid he appeared at the windows at all hours of the night. shaking his fist and using abusive language. Miss Alexander denied having assisted her father to escape. She says she is glad he got away, and admits that when she saw he had escaped. while she and Borchert were at the telephone, she did what she could to conceal the fact and allow him time to get beyond pursuit.

WASHINGTON, July 23.—With the ex- ception of scattered thunder-storms, the most important of which, so far at least | as reports to the weather bureau show, | was that at North Platte, Nebr., where | eight one-hundredths of an inch of rain | fell, the drought and intense heat continued all day throughout the States of the corn | belt. Temperatures to-day again aver- | aged over 100 degrees in that area, making the thirty-sixth consecutive day in which | the thermometer has risen to 90 degrees | and higher.

Be- vond that time the officials will not make any predictions. Generally speaking. the temperatures in the superheated ~area | were not so high as yesterday, but such | falls as may have occurred have been due entirely to local changes, and not to any general differences in atmospheric condi- fl%l;llle. hot weather also continued in the Northwest, Bismarck (N.

There is no prospect of any relief rom prevailing conditions in the central valleys and the Middle West, and Fore- caster Frankenfield to-night repeats his forecast of continued warm weather with light and scattered thunderstorms for that section. The only rains indicated are local thunder showers in the Southern Sfates and the Rocky Mountain section. v Some of the maximum temperatures re- orted to-day are: Atlanta, 26: Buffalo, %4; Cincinnati, 94: Davenport, 104; Denver, 90; Des Moines. 100; Indianapolis, 96; Jack- sonville, 89: Kansas City, 102: Memphis, 102; New Y.
