OAKLAND, 16.—The trial of the $50,000 damage brought by Rosie sen against the Oakland Transit Con- continued before Judge | Melvin_.and a jury to-day. The girl was| standing on a car piatform while riding in from Berkeley and was struck by a | car coming from the opposite direction. One side of her face was torn so badly that skin grafting had to be resorted to. The mother and brother of the girl, who were on the car with her at the time the accident occurred, were the principal witnesses to-day. They testified that she was standing on the front platform and | that a sudden jolting of the car threw her off to one side, when she was struck.

Walkirez says he will have his own story’ of the murder to tell on the witness stand and that he does not purpose going to the gallows alone. During the noon recess the pair in their separate cells talked with each other, Walkirez taking the woman to task and charging her with lying. “You'll be out of here to-night,” Walkirez, “and you are all right. “I am not,” retorted the other, tén years for my share in thie.” It was a2 motley and morbid crowd that jammed into the Polfee Court this morn- ing.

The Building Trades Council to-night ordered Business Agent W. E. Scully to notify Millmen's Union No. 50, now on strike, to return to work. For reply rep- resentatives of the union gave notice that the union shall not call off the strike un- til authorized to do so by the District Council of Carpenters anl Jolners of America. The issue between the two central labor organizations has therefore been flatly joined. The Building Trades Council declared that the strike had been called by an un- authorized agent and was illegal. Failure to heed the instructions of the Building Trades Council means that none of the trades unions affiliated with that body will recognize the strike, nor will they support it in any way Suspensicn of the Millmen's Union is a possible penalty of disobedience of the order, according to Business Agent Scully. The millmen and carpenters claim that they are powerful enough to carry their point despite the action of the Buflding Tradés Council. The carpenters have de- clared a boyecott on all mill work not turned out from mills that Lave signed their scale of wages. They insist that the schedule in controversy shall be ratified by the Distriet Council and not by the Building Trades Council. The fight is being watched by the Millowners' Associ- ation with much interest, as it is one that has developed. in large measure, out of the Jong standing feud between the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the Building Tradés Council. In the local situation the Millmen's Un- jon. which is represénted in the Bulldin Trades Couneil, has cast its lot with the District Council of Carpentérs, through which the strike was cailed. —_———— Photographic Company.

BERKELEY, June 16.—There was more trouble at the meeting of the Board of Education to-night, and School Director | ‘Wier again resigned from the committee on schoolhouses and sites.

Smith of the agricultural department of the University of California has laid out a campaign of war against the as- paragus rust that will occupy his time thequgh all the summer months. The field of operations will be near Milpitas, Ala- meda County, where the asparagus indus- try is largest. As spraying has been found to be a too expensive remedy for the rust, Professor Smith proposes to make a trial of the Bordeaux mixture, a compound of 1ime and copper phosphate, which will be applied in powdered form. Asparagus rust is a disefse that mani- fests itself in red spots after the crop has been harvested in the spring. It af- focta the next year's crop so much that thousands of dollars are lost to the farm- ers.
