He ex that this important mat- t be adjusted at the meeting on ay. No statement was issued by the road officials, President Hall deciar- ing that there was nothing to be said 2t the present stage of the proceedings. It was stated by Fitzpatrick that on all the questions except that of wages a Jefi- nite understanding had been reached, and that the request for increased compensa- tion had not been denied. He expressed the belief that the company would con- cede to the men in the freight service a ten-hour day. The men in the passenger service probably -will be graded according to mileage. The committee has conceded to the eom- pany the right to haul as many cars to a tiain as the law permits, and to put as many men in the crews to operate those trains as the company finds necessary. R BT SUPPOSED DEAD MAN COMES BACK TO LIFE HELENA, Mont.,, March 30.—After be- ing dead a hall hour, as supposed by three reputable physicians, Viril Wood of Missoula came to life again. The case is considered by the Missoula physiclans o be a remarkable one. Wood was under- golng an operation in a hospital and was under an anesthetic. He is young and the operation. had been concluaed, when sud denly respiration ceased and Wood's heart stopped beating. ¥For half an hour the three physicians worked on Wood without getting any sign of life. They thought him dead. Suddenly he opened his eyes and in response jo continued ex- ertion on the part of the physicians began to breathe. To-night be is said to be on the road to recovery.

BAKERSFIELD, March 30.—A special County, that a man named Miller- son was arrested there yesterday for the theft of a bridle and saddle belonging to General Shafter and stolen a few weeks ago from the ranch of the general's son-In- law. Captain McKittrick, in this county. When an officer from Kern County ar- rived to take charge of the prisoner the Constable advised him that the man had escaped after firing several shots at the Constable. The stolen saddle and bridle were recovered. A reward of $100 was offered by Captain McKittrick for the recovery of the prop- erty and the capture of the thief. The Constable at Exeter telephoned to Ba- kersfleld immediately after the arrest for instructions and then stated that the man had offered him $50 to release him. > DUKE OF MANCHESTER'S BAGGAGE IS ATTACHED New York Firm Seeks to Secure Pay- ment for Some Bric-a-Brac Purchased by Him. NEW YORK, March 30.—A writ of at- tachment, to cover an alleged debt of $2%, was served to-day against the twenty-five pleces of baggage belonging to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, who recently arrived from Palm Beach. The writ was secured by a Fifth-avenue firm of dealers in antiquities, who allege that some months ago the Duke purchased from th®n a brass ornament in the form of a shield, giving in payment his check for £45 on a London bank, which was sub- sequently returned marked “No funds.” A similar attachment was served by a local firm of jewelers on the occasion of the last visit of the Duke and Duchess to New York. R ARETZ s DOES NOT FEAR RIVALRY OF THE PANAMA CANAL CITY OF MEXICO, March 3.—R Weet. man Pearson, the English contractor who leased the National Tehuantepec Railroaa from the Mexican Government several months ago for a period of fifty-one years, is here. He says he expects that the road will be able to handle inter- oceanic traffic next year on a commercial basis. He will soon close negotiations for direct steamer service from New York to Coatzacoalcos. Later service will be es- tablished between Salina Cruz and San Franciscgs making a transportation route which he thinks need not fear the rivairy tion, took place before Judge Willey to- | ©f the Panama canal. _he defendant was represented by .

The final settlement of the ques- tion will be submitted to them to-night at a meeting to be held at the Turk-street Temple, and it is generally understood that it will be lald before them for final action without recommendation or com- ment from their executive committee, in whose hands it now rests. According to the agreement made be- tween the company and its ‘employes in answer to their recent demands the an- pany. It was received by the conference committee of the Carmen’s Union without comment and was considered at a meeting of the latter body during a long session last night that lasted until after midnight. The answer of the company reviewed the demands of the employes seriatim and was especially important in two points. It accorded recognition to the union un- | equivocally and without any conditions | and it disposed of the paramount demand that no employe should be discharged or | hired without the consent of the union by the flat declingtion to consider the | Proposal or even to submit it to arbitra- | tion. | Regarding the demand for an increase in wages, the company refused to grant the scale demanded, but agreed to allow | | the matter to go before a board of arbi- | | tration composed of President Mahon of | the Amalgamated Assoclation of Street | | Railway Employes, representing the em- ployes, and Patrick Calhoun, representing | the company, their decision to be final. MEN MUST DECIDE. The meeting of the executive commit | tee of the union called to consider the | question was held in the headquarters of the association, in the Emma Spreckeis building. As suprem& power in the mat- | ter of calling a strike had been delegated | to this body much interest attached to its | proceedings. The session was a long and | stormy one. Many present regarded the | dictum of the company regarding the | refusal to arbitrate all the | tions as a dirfect attempt at ing the union leaders. Others saw a great advantage gained in the recognition of the union, which was really a concession that the employes had not anticipated. Tt was finally determined to submit the mat- ter to the action of the entire body of the | employes affected and to leave to thelr judgment whether or not they will abide | by the terms set forth in the company's | auswer. It was also determined to keep the pro- | ceedings of the session a secret until the meeting at the Turk-street temple to- right. One of the members of the executive committee stated after the meeting that |a committee had been appointed to pre- pare a report to be made to®he general | meeting and that it was understood that the report would be a dispassionate state- ment of the conditions without any rec- ommendations from the committee, leay- ing the employes at perfect liberty to choose their own course of action. COMMITTEE ARRIVES. ‘The conference committee of the Street Carmen’s Union, consisting of President Cornelius, Vice President Goldkuhl, W. J. Burton, A. T. Leslie, P. M. Belknap and W. Fitzpatrick, arrived promptly at 10 o’clock at the offices of the United Rall- roads in the Rialto building and were at once shown into the presence of President Holland and General Manager Chapman. After they were seated General Manager Chapman announced that the company was ready to submit its answer to the demands of the men and asked if he { would read it. President Cornelius replied in the affirmative and the reading pro- ceceded. At the conclusion of the reading ench member of the committee was fur- nishied with a typewritten copy of the an- swer and after exchanging pleasant fare- wells with the railway officlals left the building. There was no discussion of the terms of the answer between the commit- tec and the officials. The answer is & voluminous document which takes up the demands of the men article by article and section by section. Many of the minor points it grants with- oul comment and wherever one is denied | the reasons for the dental are set out jn | full. Respecting the attitude of the com- { v in insisting on the right to hire and discharge all employes without regard to the sentiment of the union the answer says: MUST HIRE AND DISCHARGE. In answer to the demands of the Carmen's Union, we beg to say that the United Rallroads of San Francisco should be operated in such a manner as will accommodate the traveling pub- lic to the best advantage. The officers will be held responsible for the management and con- trol of the road and of its employes; they can- not relieve themselves of this responsibility, nor delegate their powers to a third party. It is their duty to select steady, sober and trustworthy men to operate their cars; to make all useful rules and regulations to govern their conduct, and to provide satlsfactory service for the traveling public. The company recognizes the right of every employe to belong to a labor union. It will place no obstacle whatsoever in the way of such membership. All demands of the association limiting or restricting the officers of the co pany in the performance of their duty in the lection, retention or dismissal of employes are most respectfully declined. A street rallway company is, under the law, held responsible for the selection and retention of its employes. no right knowingly to employ a careless, negligent or incompetent man, and, furthermore, it has no right to re- tain in its service %n employe whom the com- pany believes to be careless or negligent or oth- ‘erwise unfit for the performance of his duties. All matters now under discussion, save unre. stricted power of hire and discharge, that are not mutually agreed upon, shall, in accordance with the suggestion heretofore made, be re- ferred by the association to Mr. W, D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes of America, as its representative, and by the company to Mr. Pat- rick Calhoun of New York, to represent tha United Railroads of San Francisco, and their decision shall be binding upon the company and upon the association; and there shall be no strike or lockout while the present negotiations are in progress. UNION IS RECOGNIZED. The company explicitly agrees to rec- ognize the union and to enter into a con- tract with it and agrees to deal directly with its representatives, but it suggests that the contract instead of running to May 4, 1904, as proposed by the union, be continued in effect during the calendar year of 1805. Regarding the demand for an increase of wages the company declines to alter the present scale except in so far as to allow motormen and gripmen who are in- structing new men an additional 2 cents a day during such times of instruction. In support of its stand on this question the answer claims that it can be demon- sirated that nowhere else on any similar | street railway system are wages as high as those prevailing heré. Taking into ac- ceunt the cost of living and the pleasant climatic conditions the company decides | that it is justified in refusing an advance, | | This important question, however, is still open to determination by the two arbi- trators already named. y Assuming that the union will agree to | sign a contract with the company the an- swer provides that in case of a failure to adjust any differences the matter may be referred to the president or vice presi- dent of the company, at least one of whom shall sit on the third Tuesday of .each month to hear evidence and to de- | by the union, one by the company and the swer was presented yesterday by the com- | ! of the comipany would be lost and com- termine any appeal that may be taken from the decision of the general manager. Any differences not, thus settled arising between the company and the union as to the interpretation of any of the terms of the contract shall be submitted to a board of arbitration consisting of three members, one of whom shall be selected third to be chosen by these two. The de- cision of the board is to be final and is to be binding upon the company and the union. Any officer of the union whose dutles shall compel him to relinquish his position: with the company shall be rein- stated at the expiration of his term with- out the loss of senfority privileges. TRIAL IS REFUSED. Regarding the demand that any em- ploye against whom a complaint has been lodged shall be faced by the complainant the company makes an absolute re- fusal to consider the proposition on the ground that the rights of the compaay to discharge an employe would be hedged about with such conditions that the rights plaints from the public would be practi- cally without remedy. It also declines to agree to a limitation of the right to hire extra men or to discharge men expelled from the union and refuses to make se- niority of service the only qualification for retention in its employ. As to making it optional for the men to belong to any hospital association the company urges a reconsiderationr of the demand, because it professes to believe that such an association is of benefit to its employes and proper service cannot be afforded at the small monthly fee de- manded unless nearly all the employes belong, but it concedes the point if it is ted upon. The company agrees that the men shall be allowed to purchase their uniforms wherever they see fit, provided that they conform to the standard and specifica- tions adopted by the company. All suggestions regarding placing men operating supply, oil, sand and dirt cars under the same regulations as passenger service, including seniority, are declined, because the men so selected would not al- ways be suitable. The request that all promotions be made according to senior- ity is also refused on the same ground. The company also insists that the system of requiring employes to sign cards for students’” be continued in force. ARGUE AGAINST INCREASE. The question of pay is gone into fully with the result that the company declines to alter in any way its present wage scale unless the proposed board of arbi- tration shall decide that the employes are entitled to mere pay. In reply to the demands regarding the changé In runs so that the day runs may not overlap on the night runs the com- pany refuses, pointing out that jn the morning and evening the public conven- ience requires the operation of a much larger number of cars than at other times of the day and night, and that by acced- ing to the demands it would necessitate the employment of a large number of men who would only make one or two trips a day, receiving therefor not enough | to purchase the bare necessities of life. In regard to the demands for increase of pay and recognition of the senlority system for car carpenters, grip repairers, oflers, pulley wagon drivers and pully re- pair men, track men, car washers, car cleaners, janitors, track sweepers and ofl- ers, lamp cleaners, night watcomen, ofl- ers on cars, switchmen, lever men and signal men, the company makes the same reply as it does to carmen, giving the same grounds for refusal to agree. The company declares that it has no intention of reducing wages, and expresses the belief that upon reflection it will be readily conceded that it has no right to yield to others the selection and dismis- sal of . its emploves, and in explanation of its refusal to arbitrate this question declares that It may not do indirectly what it may not do by a direct abdication of a duty imposed by law. ¢ MANAGER CHAPMAN TALKS. In an interview last night General Man- ager Chapman discussed the more fmport- ant portions of the answer to the de- mands of the Carmen’s Union. He said: In framing its reply, the company has con- sidered it but just to its employes and fair to the public to follow the course of open dis- cussion, so that the carmen, and the public. too, might fully understand our position. This company s a public servant, and, for that matter, =0, too, are the carmen. We owe scmething to ourselves and to each other, but our greatest obligation is due to the public. Neither of us should for a moment lose sight ©of this fact. Whatever We do. whatever acts of theirs or of ours threatens the general wel- fare, or imperils the safety or convenience of the general public, should be done. in the broad, open light of day and be subjected to the closest public serutiny, and, if it is to stand, should be able to eridure the severest test of public criticism. The compeny reserves the unrestricted right to hire and discharge. It therefore rejects all Sections bearing upon these rights. In the demands the carmen practically say: We de- mand the right to discharge any employe en- gaged on the cars, in the carhouses of on track repalrs: we deny the right of the com- vany to discharge any of these men without our’ sanction and approval; we demand that the company compel its new men to join our association; we demand the right to reject, and compel the company to discharge any new men it may hire, which is cquivalent to the hiring of the men by the assoclation; we de- mwand (through the act of suspension) that the company act as collector for the associa- tion and compel employes to pay all of their dues, fines and assessments, These sections embrace & rather broad as- sumption of power and disclose, we fear, a lack of knowledge of the responsibilities that rest with the company. ' COMPANY IS LIABLE. The assoclation cannot put up a bond guar- anteeing the company against loss for the negligence or carelessness of the employes whom it may hire or retain. The millions of property owned by the company stand as a pledge to the public behind every man in its employ. ~Our property is a guaranty to the public that we will make good all ds that the law inflicts as a penalty for the mis- deeds of our men. We cannot escape these penalties nor“avold suits at law merely be- cause we have yielded to the carmen’s as- socfation the “right of selection,”” which, under, the law, belongs exclusively {0 the com- pany. s ) The retention of the right of employment and discharge is a principle underlying the very foundation of a public service corpora- tion. The people demand the best of service, the greatest of - ekill and care, the utmost lity. A failure in any of these particulars drags the company before the bar of public opinion, there to receive an adverse Judgment. The lives, comfort, pleasure, con- venience and ‘business of the people of Sangl Francisco are, to a great extent, in the keep- ing of the car companies. We cannot escape from this situation. We must accept it. We have not created the conditions, but must obey them, and this can only be done by re- fusing to abdicate the absolute right of hiring and discharging—such is the only plan by Wwhich these conditions can be met, CANNOT BE ARBITRATED. The question of employment and discharge cannot for the same even be arbitrated. The roads were created primarily for the benefit and advantage of the people. The peo. ple hold the company responsible for its ser- vice and its treatment, and they will not per- ‘mit us to shift or evade the burden. Who is there to consené to arbitrate away the rights H of this third party, the public? As two peo- Ple_cannot, without consent, arbitrate the rights and interests of a third, the question of discharge and employment must be left where it has been lodged by law, exclusively with the company. The company is the re- sponsible party. It accepts the money of the passengers for a certain well defined service. 11 through the negect or incivility of its em- ployes the pasrenger is injured or insulted he has a clear right to complain and seek re- dress at the hands of the company. But, under the novel d nt ¥ the car- men, the passenger is to be referred to a third party, a stranger, with whom he has not had the. business To enforce his “he must _to a tribunal of which the person tting the offense is | 000 per: year. | repairs would be allowed.

This sort of a performance can. | not be seriously consldered. The pubiic would not endure any such grotesque proceeding, and tc;:ulnly this company cannot consent to try experiment. i QUESTION OF WAGES. The wage question has recdived the most careful consideration, and we have not been able to find any condition to- justify any in- | crease in the wages of the men on our cars. | A mere desire for more money on-the part of | the men may excuse a demand for more pay, | but it will not justify the demand unless it | Bave some better foundation than that. The United Railroads of San Francisco 1s | already the most liberal paymaster of any | large system in America. The increased pay demanded by the men amounts to fully $600,- | The increase granted last year added the expenses over $130,000 ~per annum. The company belleves that the de- mand for an increase in the highest wages paid in the country to a still higher figure is unfair. In permanent betterments, mainly pro- vided in cash by present owners, the company has already expended fully $2,000,000. From the ncome of the property additional funds must be provided for depreciation and caring for the heavy sinking funds required for the franchises and for improvements. Miles of old iron must be thrown In the scrap heap and new steel lald in Its place. Concede the wage demands of the men and ail important im- | provements would be stopped, and only urgent It would be nec- essary to discharge a large number of men, which would work an injury to our employes, our company and the city. To yleld to the wage demands would result fn practical con- fiscation to those who have embarked their money in these enterprises. MUST PROTECT OWNERS. The largest part of the money invested In the United Rallroads has come from the sav- ings of persons of moderate means, who have bought thelr securities either directly or by the savings Institution in which their money was deposited, and the officers of the company arc bound in honor to manage the company’s al- fairs with justice to their Interests and to the proper performance of Its obligations to the city. These investors are now receiving less than 5 per cent per annum upon the actual cash invested. The company, at all times, desires to treat with the men with the utmost fairness and | consideration, and we believe the great body of our employes are moved by similar consfd- erations. ~We have earnestly endeavored to satisfy all the demands that could with safety be conceded, and hope our answer will be re- ceived in a spirit of fairness and amity. ——— HOBSON DISAGREES WITH ADMIRAL DEWEY Merrimac Hero Says Tonnage of Dis- placement ani Not Personnel Makes a Navy. LOS ANGELES, March 30.—Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson arrived here to-day from Grand Canyon. He does not agree with Admiral Dewey In his esti- | mate of the strength of the German navy. At least he does not believe that the man behind the gun is all that is to be considered. Enormous tonnage is what | he says the nation trusts, and he asserts that the nation which has the greatest | tonnage represented in its battleships | and other war vessels is the strongest na- | tion. During an interview to-day the statement attributed to Admiral Dewey was referred to, and the hero of the Mer- rimac incident at Santiago was asked his | opinion on the question which now | seems to be worrying the Germans. He paused for a moment and then took is-| sue with Dewey only in an Indirect man- | ner, thus: ! “Tonnage of warship displacement is | the only true method of measurement. It | is not safe to bank on men alone. It is not fair to draw comparison between the personnel of two navies until they meet | and determine the matter. It goes with- | out saying that it is not fair to discrimi- | nate against a man until he is given a try-out. It is unfair to presume on the | personality. Tonnage is the best factor | for determining such a matter. At pres- | ent the German navy has 500,000 tons of | warship displacement afloat, and soon | will increase this weight by another hun- | dred thousand tons. Within twelve | months the Germans will be considerably ahead of the United States in the mat- ter of displacement.” et e HUSBAND IS SHOT DEAD BY FRIEND OF HIS WIFE Fatal Quarrel Follows the Unex- pected Return Home of a New York Clerk. NEW YORK, March 3.—Filled with jealous anger at finding another man be- ing entertained by bis wife this after- noon, William J. Peppler of East One Hundred and Nineteenth street threw the | visitor out into the hail, fought him from the third floor to the front door of the apartment-house in which he lived, with | the wife screaming and weeping at their | heels, and was there shot dead by the man he thought had wronged him. This man was William Dobson, a cashier in a stock broker’s office. Peppler was about 28 years of age and a clerk. He had not been married long. After having revived, Mrs. Peppler said she and Dobson were together, when her husband returned unexpectedly from work and a fight followed, resulting in Dob- son being thrown out of the room and pursued downstairs by her husband. Iny the lower hall Dobson fired one shot. After that the woman remembered noth- ing more. Dobson was arrested to-night in the apartments of friends. He took his ar- rest very calmly and refused to be in- terviewed. At the police station he said he had a wife and two children in Wash- ington, D. C. He was locked up. ADVERTISEMENTS.

The sleeping berths are even a little bit more roomy than those in the standard Pull- inan cars, and the linen and blankets used are the same in each, while the price for a double berth is only $5 to Omaha or Kansas City, $6 to Chicago or St. Louis, and $8 toBoston. Less than half the regular price. The route is through Salt Lake City and over the famous Denver & Rio Grande Railway to Denver. The most intensely interesting ride in America.
