The C il Service Commission yesterday ordered the dismissal of a number of em- ployes of the department of electricity, because they joined a combination for the purpose of preventing the holding of a civil service examination for positions in the department named. The men who will lose their positions on March 1 are: David M. Ahern, James Gorman, J. R. Fuiton, R. Noonan and R. P. Luce, Commissioner Mershon says a number of other employes in the department are under investigation on the same charge and more dismissals Wil follow The commission has notified Chief Hew- itt of the department of electricity that it will refuse to approve of the temporary appointment of the men named. The men have been under trial, and Ahern, Gor- man and Fulton swore under oath that they had attended a meeting for the pur- pose of employing an attorney to sue out a writ restraining the commission from holding the examination. They each con- tributed $20 to pay for an attorney and the suit was eventually brought by a tax- payer named M. J. Barry. The commis- sion has since been prevented from hold- ing the examination for linemen, electri- cal repairers and other positions in the department. Luce and Noonan were ordered to be dismissed, because when summoned be- fore the commission and questioned re- garding their conduct as employes of the | department of electricity they refused to answer questions. The commission has notified the Auditor not to audit any de- mands in favor of the men named after March 1. The International Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers, Local Union No. 283, has adopted resolutions that the credits for length of experience proposed to be al- lowed in the civil service examinations for electrical positions are properly pro- portioned. e Pays Big License. ‘William H.

Mayor Schmitz Acts as the Mediator and Dairymen | Agree to Terms. | —— After a strike of twenty-four hours the grievances of the Milk Wagon Drivers’ Union M 6 were amicably settled yes fternoon by the intermediation of Mayor Schmitz, and the milk famine which threatened the community was averted before any great hardship had been worked upon the patrons of the dis- | pensers of lacteal fluid The demands of the union that the Dai- rymen's Association rigidly adhere to the terms of the agreement between them, cially in relation to the employment of union men sent from headquarters, and that the proprietors do not advance the fees for joining the association, so as to shut out the small dairymen and thus limit the opportunitics for employment of union drivers were readily agreed to by the committee representing the asso- ciation. After negotiations which lasted during the day, the union unanimously voted to return to work and at 6:30 p. m. he strike wus declared off. ition, which was Schulz, formerly eceiving the ap- retary of the Dairymen's till left in the air for fu- The main bone of cor the action of Edward a4 member of the union pointment as Assoclation, is ture adjustment. COWS CHUCKLE WITH GLEE. Tn reply to a conundrum as to what gave more milk than a cow, a wit once replied, a milk wagon. That jester un- doubtedly did not have in mind the con- dition of affairs that confronted the housewi nd restaurant keepers of this owing to the strike of n drivers’ union. The cows chuckled with glee at the prospect of a spring vacation and the wail of the infants took on stentor- ian tones, from Twin Peaks to Telegraph Hill. The cans of condensed milk shifted uneas on the grocery store shelves and the historical pumps at the varlous dairies dejectedly dropped their arms, prepared to undergo an enforced idle- ment. ot a pint of milk was delivered yester- e€xcept by the proprietors to the downtown restaurants and hotels and the housewives were compelled either to go da to the varfous milk depots with their pltchers or use the canned article. | The executive committce of the Dalry- men’s Association held a meeting early vesterday morning and mittee consisting of Johnson, ohn D. Da and Georse Perham to consult with the executive officers of the union and also to enlist the services of Mayor Schmitz in settling the difficulty. A meeting was held in the Mayor's 3 terday afternoon which was participated in by the Mayor, Alex Dijeau, business agent of the union, and the committee. The matter was thoroughly discussed and the ppointed a com- H. Johnson, M. . George R. Sneath employers agreed to any terms that the Mayor might dictate. At 2 o'clock a meeting of the association wasi held at the headquarters on Eddy street and the action of the committee was ratified. STRIKE DECLARED OFF. b The large hall in the Turk-street Temple was well filled with members of the union at 5 o'clock, the hour announced for the conference with the Mayor and commit- tee. After a slight delay Mr. Schmitz ap- peared with the dairymen and was ac- corded a hearty reception. The meeting was an executive one, and Mr. Dijeau re- lated what had been accomplished during the day and asked the unifon to settle the matter. Mayor Schmitz delivered an address and advised the men to return to work. The committee and the Mayor were thenm asked to retire, and after a few minutes’ deliberation the union voted to return to work. The committee were then noti- fied and Informed of the action taken, and Mr. Daly, in speaking for them, stated that he hoped that there would be no feeling engendered a result of the strive ord that th men had aorand to pay their employes for the time that had been lost. Thus ended a strike that threatened to assume great proportions and cut off a supply of food essential to the community. BAY SHORE EXCURSIONS. A Day Among Almond Blossoms— Drives in the Country.

Peter Caubu, a milkman, charged with | delivering adulterated milk to the Alms- | house, was acquitted by a jury in Police | Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday after- | ncon. The evidence showed that Com- missary Otto Huber had taken a can of milk out of Caubu’s wagon and had sent a sample of it to City Chemist Greene, who found it not up to the standard. The defense admitted that there were cans of skim milk in the wagon to be delivered to a bakery, and it was one of these cans that was taken instead of a can of the milk for the Almshouse.

Duncan, and who said she was from Mon- tana, was found dead in a bathroom yes- terday at the place wheré she roomed. The Coroner's deputy said all indications pointed to accidental death. It has been found, however, that all the stories told by the young woman concerning herself were not true and there is room for a suicide theory. To guests in the house Miss Duncan sald she was here to marry Charles Swartz, an officer of the Amalgamated Copper Mining Company of Helena, and that she was here to buy her trousseau and prepare for the nuptials. A press dispatch from Helena says Swartz married man, that he de- T having known Miss Duncan is ever nd that no one can be found in Helena who knows her. Miss Duncan, according story, had been the s man she was to marry and well educated and wore expen: clothes and much jewelry. Further than speaking of her engagement she gave lit- tle more information concerning herself and none was solicited During the last few weeks the young lady has spent much time In the down- town stores selecting articles she desired She placed an order for her trousseau and the garments were almost completed. Yesterday afternoon Miss Duncan was missed about the hotel. Nothing was thought of her absence until it was dis- covered in the evening that her street apparel was in her room and that she had not left the house. Miss Lilah Duncanson, a scrvant, found the bathroom door locked and, knock- ing, received no respons ‘With the as- sistance of the laundryman, she forced an entrance and discovered the body of the voung lady guest in the bath tub.

AIM TO BREAK TR TRUST First Fight Against the Theatrical Syndicate | Is Now On. | — . From all indications this city will be the ! first battle ground between the theatrical syndicate and the recently organized In- dependents. H. W. Bishop has leased the new playhouse being constructed at the | corner of Ninth and Market streets by the Willlam Ede Company. It was cently published that Fred Belasco had secured the lease of the theater after the announcement that Al Bouvier was too ill to handle the property and the name under which the house would open was to be “The Belasco.” The unreasonable exactions of the lheaalcnl trust caused a large number of the prominent members of the profession, in conjunction with -proprietors of playhouses throughout the country, to de- termine to throw off the yoke and resolve themselves into an organization which is known as the Independents. The growing strength of the Independ- | ents, which enables = them to make a stand against the old syndicate, is greatly | due to Minnie Maddern Fiske, the promi- | nent American actress. It was she who ! had the influence and was in the posi- | tion to take a stand against the syndi- cate, This she did, and since then the Independents have been steadily gaining power under her leadership. At the present time the Columbia and California are the only theaters in this | city booking\syndicate shows. The plans of the new playhouse which has been leased by Mr. Bishop call for a theater second to none in the United States, and it can be safely prophesied that the pro- | ductions will be of the highest order, thereby cutting into the monopoly now enjoyed by the two syndicate houses.
