August Beck, proprietor of a small hardware store at 20 Montgomery avenue, committed suicide some time last Mon- | day night by shooting himself in the | mouth with a revolver. His body was found yesterday afternoon by John Peck, | who noticed that the store had been closed for two days. Peck peered over a | transom and saw Beck’s bosy lying on a | bed in a little room in the rear of the! store. Beck had been on a spree for several days, and it is believed that | himself during a fit of delirium tremens. | He had placed the muzzle of a revolver | irto his mouth and pulled the trigger, dying instantly. ‘When the Coroner's deputies, McCor- mick and Murphy, searched the clothing they found $34 in ome of the pockets. Nothing in the store had been disturbed. Beck was a native of Germans rezrs old, and had no relatives in this | country.

Practically all of the unions af- filiated with the Iron Trades Council and concerned in the great strike that began May 20 of last year took the same action, some of them last night and some on the previous night. As a result some 1500 strikers who are still idle will apply this morning to their former em- ployers for work under old condi jons, in the hope that within six months their demands will be submitted to arbitration through the efforts of the National Civic Association. AN FRANCISCO Lodge of Inter- national Assoeiation of Machinists No. 68 decided last night by secrct ballot to accept the proposition rec- ommended to it by the Iron Trades Council to declare the strike off and to ers for work under the old condi- ith the hope held out to them by Walter Macarthur, the well-known labor leader and Pacific Coast representative on the arbitration committee of the Na- tional Civie Federation, that within six months the questions at issue betwecn them and the employers will be submitted to arbitration. This action, together with the favor-} able action of practically all the other employ strike in San Francisco, means the end- ing of the strike and the return to work as fast as conditions will permit of the skilled mechanics who for ten months have walked the streets in idleness. The unions were in session until long after midnight arranging plans by which their application for work under oid terms this morning will be orderly and seem- iy and not the scramble of hundreds of | cager individuals without organization. ‘They will appear at the various iron works and factories at the hour for be- ginning work and each man will apply if possible to his former foreman, if not to the foreman in charge of his particular branch of work and will state that he is_at liberty to resume work. Where men are needed the old emploves will be reinstated without question. Many will not get work at once, In fact, it'is doubtful if even the majority of thém with them that in the course of a few weeks much the larger portion of them will be employed under the conditions that existed prior to May 20 of last year. Shipbuilding Plants to Determina. The meeting of machinists was a Jengthy one. Walter Macarthur addressec the assembled workingmen, explaining in great detail the plan under which the men were advised to declare the ke off. He told them that he had the assurance of Senator Hanna, chairman of the arbi- tration committee of the National Clvie Federation, that the relations of em-< ployers and employes in the great ship- ling plants of the country where war- re_built—Cramps, Newport News Union Iron Works—would be | | | QUTLINES ROUTE. OF HEW RALUAY Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, March 5—Lord Thurlow and George H. Proctor this afternoon gave for the first time the details of the building and exact route of the Eureka and Eastern Rallroad, of which they are | the projectors and for the construction of which a contract has been let. Proctor estimates that nearly all of the $25,000,000 provided will be required In building the 800 miles of road. The first consideration has been to get the most direct route for an eastern road to the From Eureka it will come in as a line -as possible and from here to Weiser, on the ldaho and Oregon bor- der. it will run northeast in an almost straight line, “The great advantage which the road will possess over all others is that it is an ideal winter route,” said Proctor. *“The | very highest elevation which we reach is | W feet. There is almost no snow along | the ra and we will not have to build a single rod of snowsheds. We will cross the mountains at Hatchet Creek Pass, the lowest in the Sierra Nevadas.

If we build down into town we must cross Sacramento River, where it i much wider and go back up 'the stream gain. “Now, here is a suggestion T have to ofter which, if carried out, will make Red- ding a second Butte City,” added Proc- tor. et your people secure the big level tract of land across the river from Red- ding, near the Reid ferry, where our road passes, as the site for a great combina- tion copper smeiter, whither all the cop- per mines of the county can send their ore to be smelted. Neither Bully Hill, Kennet, the Balaklala nor others of the great mines have enough level ground for the smelting capacity they need. I ba- lieve the owners can all be induced to agree upon one combination smelter on this broad tract. Of course, the fumes would affect vour rosebuds in town, but it would make Redding a great business center.” INTOXICATED PAINTER IS BURNED TO DEATH Charles Brown, an unmarried painter, 42 years old, was burned to death early yesterday morning in his room at 974 Fol- | som street. Brown was drinking in the saloon of M. J. Healy, 301 Sixth street and left the place at 3 o'clock yesterday morning to go to his room. Shortly after 5 o'clock' H. Partmann, the landlord. heard the crackling of fire and, opening | the door of Brown's room, saw the mid- dle of the carpet in flames. He ran and got a bucket of water, but when he re- tured he found that the fire had made too much headw: nearest fire engine street, and gave the alarm. After the flames had been extinguished | pmes Conniff, cantain of chemical en- gine company 6, found Brown's body the ruins. Near it lay a coal-oil lamp, The supposition is that Brown accidental- ¥ upset the lamp. ———— Many Boxers at a Benefit. All the well-known boxers in and about this city will appear to-night at Me- chanics’ didates who are contesting the recent about (i | election. The affair is under the auspices | of the Bay City Athletic Club. The ad- mission is'fixed at 50 cents. Among those who will take part are: Al Neill Foley, Jimmy Britt vs. Billy Leonard, Andy Gallagher vs. Alex Greg- ins, 12d Hanlon vs. Toby Irwin, Ted Wolft i Dean, Kid McFadden vs. Robbie Johnson, Thomas Gilfeather vs. Joe HIll, Frankic Neil vs. Jockey Bozeman, Joe Fields vs. Paul Martin, George Curren vs. Bob - Martin vs. Eddie Flynn, Willlam Tom Snailham, Willlam Wilson, tin, J Snailham v and he hurried to the | house, at 311 Sixth | Pavilion Annex. The occasion | will be a benefit for the Union Labor can- | taken up by the committee as early as ossible. e Ffhe same assurance had been given 1:‘73 by other members of the committee vould he felt confident that the problem wou be reached by the committee within }he next six months, and possibly a_solution arrived at, at the end of that period. The settlement of difficulties existing between the laborers and the emplovers in these three great plants would determine hot\rs and wages for labor in the entire industry of the iron trades. ; Macarthur told tLat upon his return fro bis credentfals as a member tration committee of the N Federation and fresh from with the noted men who make up that body and with the labor leaders of the East, he had discussed with the local leaders the plan which had been accepted by the Iron Trades Council and sent to them for their approval. T He felt s t the local employers ot temore™ the - recommendations of the National Clvic Federation and they had much to hope for from such method of consideration of their demands. He urged upon them that unless they felt confident that heir present line of action would result in victory within a reason- able time. it were theé part of wisdom to accept thé-good offices of the men of na- tional reputation who have lately inter- ested themselves in the effort to adjust labor difficultles. Gave Up With Reluctance. Business Agent Wisler and other promi- nent members of the union took part in the discussion, which for the most part was calm. and dispassionate. Supervisor Wynn was present, but did not take part inthe discussion. The men gave up with some reluctance the struggle in whici they have stood shoulder to shoulder for ten months, but when the result of the secret ballot was known the majority was found to be in favor of trusting its inter- ests to the half promise of arbitration that is held out to it. ¥ It is known that Macarthur's proposal followed upon the heels of a conference with Henry T. Scott, president of the ssembled strikers e E‘m the East with ber of the arbi- atfonal Clvie would not ignore Union Iron Works, in' which Scott gave the labor = leader urances that he ind that as rap- idly as possible his former employes would be reinstated if the strike was de- ed off. Whether or not Scott also guye his promise that he would be will- ing to let the arbitration committee of the Natlonal Civie Federation decide th:e mierits of the controversy between the Union Tron Works and the strilers is gne u of the secrets of the conference. fofenfonfeorfonioforte oot fofunfeefeferfusfoferfontosfofurfeefotonfusfocfotunt e etuntecforfunfocfetenfecffenfecfuleofeolel @ DEMANDS A FULL INVESTIGATION The Civil Service Commission at a meeting vesterday afternoon voted to send letters* to Mayor Schmitz and the Grand Jury asking investigations of the rumor that has gotten into print that a corruption fund of $6000 was ralsed by sixty patrolmen to insure their promotion to corporalships. As Mayor Schmitz has said that if an investigation should be asked it would be held, doubtless the of- ficial inquiry will be forthcoming. Secretary Moran and the Commission- ers were busy yesterday afterncon seek- ing an interview with the Mayor, but his Honor was called away from his office soon after noon and did not return. Ail of the Commissioners had expected to see the Mayor at 4 o'clock, Moran having made a provisional appointment for that hour through the Mayor's secretary. Commissioner Ohnimus denies the state- ment attributed’ to him that a patrolmau went to him and said that a corruption fund had been raised. He says that what he did say was that when he heard the rumor he went to a patrolman whom he could trust and that officer told him he also had heard the rumor. Ohnimus put him to work on it, but he reported later that he could find nothing more than vague rumor. Qhnimus refuses to give the name of the patrolman. Chief of Po- lice Wittman and Secretary Moran will probably demand that the name be made public and that the patrolman be put on the witness stand in an investigation by the Mayor, to tell how the rumor reached him. Commissioner Qhnimus said yesterday that as the rumor came to him. the fund was raised among a large number of of- ficers, including corporals, sergeants and lieutenants, « well as patrolmen, and promotion to be assured to each. Ohnimus ‘say that he and the Mayor concluded that the rumor was entirely groundless and dropped their inquiry two weeks For fifty years the Vose piano has stood the storm of rivalry. .

Strikers Held Together. After the meeting R. I. Wisler, business agent of the Machinists’ Unfon, said that the strike had been one of the longest and most persistent_ever carried on in the United States. He claimed that out of all the men who went out nine and a half months ago not more than sixty de- serted and went back to work without the leave of their union. He sald that about 2700 men remained out to the last and that about that number would apply for work this morning. On May 20, 1901, every member of the Iron Trades Council in San Francisco, consisting of the International Brother- hood of Boilermakers and Iron Ship Builders, International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, International Association of Machinists, and the coremakers, metal polishers, buffers, platers and brass- workers, numbering over 4000 men, packed up their tools and left their various places of employment in consonance with a d mand formulated by the national organ. ization for a nine-hour working day. For nearly ten months the men have remained on strike, and at alk times have | presented an unbroken front to their for. mer employers. They have never modi- fled their demands during this period of idleness, and have shown- no signs of surrender. - In this steadfastness the strike of the ironworkers has been with- out a parallel. All_of the larger equally stubborn against granting the terms asked by the strikers, and only a small percentage of the men obtained em- ployment in the smaller shops which agreed to the conditions laid down by the union. Despite this enforced idleness, there were no cases of defection from the strikers’ ranks, and through all the long months there was an entire absence of disorder or unlawful interference with the ;‘kfim:t:t others on the part of the ma- LATEST SPRING STYLES.

State Mineralogist Aubury says that his investigations concerning mining compa- | nies in this State that are advertising to | pay huge dividends are.bearing fruit. He | has received preliminary reports from an expert who is out in the fkld. At this time he declines to give out the names of the companies urder investigation, as | he has not all the facts concerning them, { and he does not wish to work any possi- ble injustice. He says he will give out all the facts as soon as possible, that are needed to warn the public against com- panies that are trading on the name of California to unload stocks on false pre- tenses upon the people of the Eastern States and European countries. The State Mineralogist has found out that one company that is advertising | | Eastern newspapers to be paying divi- dends at the rate of 24 per cent per an- num is not operating its mine and has not been working it for at least one vear. An- other company that has several mines which’ it advertises is working only one of its properties. Still another company is selling stock upon the basis of a mines which it does not own, but has only un- der bond. In talking of the matter yes- terday Aubury said: I do not see any better way to reach these companles and possibly other than through the medium of publicity. That I am willing to provide when all the facts are in. Prose- cutions are slow and uncertain. Upon a show- ing that the companies are deceiving the pub- lic the Postal Department of the United States will probably see that their literature is ex- cluded in the future from the mails. T have discovered that some circulars in vogue are made up of statements purporting to have been made by the State Mineralogist of California, when, as a matter of fact, they had no_such origin. I have discovered com- panies that refuse to let any of their literature get out of their hands unless they are very sure who will receive it, which I consider to be a suspicious circumstance. I will see that any company that is found to be crooked shall have its share of free advertising.
