SIS KELLY Man Wanted in St. Louis | Explains From Can- adian Retreat, { ST. LOUIS, July 22.—A special from a staff correspondent at Niagara‘on-the-| Lake, Ontario, to-day, says: | D. J. Kelly gave to the Post-Dispatch | to-day for the first time his story of the $1000 check dated March 27, which was handed to Robert Lee for his brother, John A. Lee, formerly Lieutenant Gov- ernor, and upon which the two indict- ments charging Kelly with attempted bribery are based. Lee declared to Attorney General Crow that he understood this was bribe money, but that he refused to accept it. Lee held the check for two weeks before turning it over to the authorities. Kelly says that from the time the 1903 legislative session opened Lee begged him by wire and letter to let him have some money. He was sorry for Lee's distress, but he thought he had given him enough | during the preceding two years and was | tired of supplying his financial wants. | | | March 26, 193, Lee went to the office of the organ of the York the American Queen, National Health Society, in New and, according to Kelly, Lee said: “You know, Kelly, you promised me some money and I think I ought to have > “I don’t conmsider,” replied Kelly, “that you have done anything for me, but I| guess I can let you have a thousand.” ‘When Kelly reached St. Louis a week later he handed the $1000 check to Rob- ert E. Lee at the Planters’ Hotel. March 31, 1903, Kelly received the fol- lowing written note from John A. Lee: “Paper you gave Bob cannot be used at present; 1 will have it returned and you can send New York exchange payable to Mrs. Lee.” This Kelly refused to do. “Now,” said Kelly, “if I attempted to bribe Lee in that instance, why didn’t he | mention ell the checks of a similar nature | that I had sent to him?” Mr. Kelly then showed the correspond- ent nine other checks for sums aggregat- ing $2250, which he sald he sent Lee be- tween November 21, 191, and December 14, 1902, —————————— FINED $500 FOR CRITICJSM OF DECISION Missouri Editor Offends Supreme Court, but Wins Approval of Fellow Citizens.

CHURCH AT PALO ALTO CHAPMAN MAKES HIS JTATEMENT Thinks Carmen’s Work in California Is Easy. Master Mecimnio Tells How He Climbed the Ladder of Fame. | er L David Young Too Bitter a Pill for | Livernash and Is Allowed to Depart for New York. B [ Yesterday was a lively day in the arbi- | tration proceedings concerning the differ- | ences between the United Rallroads and the carmen. | The chiet feature of the proceedings | was the evidence of Manager Chapman and that of David Young, who represents | | Brown Bros. of New York. Young gave | | #.ome pretty direct testimony on Wednes- | day—some of it to the effect that he be- | | leved in running cars in strike times with | policemen "as protectors. This testimony |‘appeared to surfeit Livernash, who soon | €ropped the witness. ’ | Munager Chapman was placed on the stand, but he read his evidence as before | and it was made a part of the record. { Livernash desired time to analyze Chap- man’s statement before taking it up. The | statement was in part as follows: The United Railroads of San Francisco has | | 1 its employ 1836 motormen. conductors, gTip- men and drivers knowh as platform ' mem | | They are paid 25 cents per hour and 30 cents per hour overtime, Overtime under the pres- ent agreement is time worked in excess of | eleven hours. On the 26th day of April. 1902, the United Railroads entered into an agree- ment with its men that all regular runs shall not exceed ten hours of actual work, the same | to be performed within fourteen hours. It was | found ‘that in practical operation these hours | were unsatisfactory to the men, whereupon at | the company | the request of the employes amended the agreement and changed the hours | 50 @8 not to exceed eleven hours’ actual work { to be performed within fifteen hours. The | present carmen’'s demands call for a maxi- mum of nine hours' actual work (a decrease of 18 2.11 per cent) to be performed, 60 per cent within 10% hours and 35 per cent Within 14 hours_ at $3 per day (an increase as to pay | 33 1-3 per cent), overtime—that is time worked over nine hours—to be pald for at the rate of | 45 cents per hour (an Mcrease of 50 per cent). | Platform men who may be entitled to regular | runs are permitted to pick their runs from | the timetable in the order of their seniority. | 2nd they retain the runs so selected so long as_that table 1s in effect. When a new table is posted the man oldest H in the service has the first choice and so on | down the list. | The work required of a platform man is in | no sense skilled labor. The actual knowledge | | neceseary to operate an electric car may be | acquired In from one to three days' instruc- | j tion, The three chief requisites of a platform man are carefuiness. politeness and honesty, and it 1 were called upon to add another qualifica- tion 1 would repeat ‘‘carefulness.’” The ‘knowledge necessary to start, run and stop & car is easily grasped. A man of aver- intelligence and proper character will make an acceptable platform man. The foregoing applies equally to conductors, more particularly the three essential require- ments, carefulness politeness and honesty. In all the years of my rallroad experience, about elghteen in number, I do mot Know of any place where the conditions are so favor- the same pains have been taken to give the men the best timetables possible. I have given this matter close personal attention so to give to each man’ the highest possible | earnings. ! EARN GOOD WAGES. | Taking hours, wages and climatic condi- | tions into consideration I do not know of any | rlace superior to San Francisco for carmen’s | work. As will be witnessed by the schedule | exhibit | No. 8 that exhibit shows that under the old | timetables no platform man was earning as high as $2 5 per day. We now have twenty- | eight runs that pay,ffty-six men $2 75 per day. " Under the old timetable but eleven runs | pald §2 70 per day; we have seventy-six such | runs_ involving 152 men. Under the old time- | tablés but two runs paid $2 65 per day; we | have 108 such runs and therefore 206 men | drawing that pay. Under the old timetables | but three runs paid but $2 60 per day; we have 114 such runs and 228 men drawing such pay. Under the old timetables but twenty-five runs | paid $2 55 per day; we have 142 such runs and 284 men drawing such pay. Under the | old timetables but fifty-eight runs paid $2 50 | per day; we have sixty-four such runs, which | involve ' 128 men. Under the old timetables there were sixty 0 runs paying between $2 and $2 50 per day; we have reduced the num- | ber to 23 runs. | I have also considered it highly important that we should have the best possible sched- | ules for the men 50 as to enable them to maks the maximum rate of wages within the - best hours possible, and for this reason I have given the matter of timetables a great deal | of personal attention. The foregoing compari- son between the daily pay earned on the old timetables and the new will bear out the state- | ment that our changes have been in the direc- tion of bettering the condition of the men and Increasing thelr earnings. It Is a physical im- possibility to make satisfactory timetables to | enable all men to earn the same su It _you make a flat scale of a given amount per dlem the short runs are overpald—and short runs are unavoidable. The climatic conditions prevalling fa San Franclsco' aye peculiarly advantageous to the carmen. Tracks blocked by snow and jce are unknown; blizzards, as they are known in the East, never occur. The city is exceptionally healthy and neither extreme heat 70r cold pre- vail. The streets along which cars are opbr- ated are wide and offer exceptional advantages for_operation. Employment on the cars is steady. A car- man having a regular run may work every day in the year if he chooses and may figure | upon a fixed income and regulate his living expenses accordingly. There ‘are no “lay offs’’ or idle days for lack of work, Platform men are hy the company granted free transportation over the division upon which they are employed whether In uniform or other clothes upon presentation of = thelr badges, and when in full uniform are granted free transportation over all the lines within the city limits. These concessions enable the thrifty. carman to live In the outlying districts 1f he chooses to do so. ‘Thera is an adequate supply of men, in fact we have more applicants than We can accom- | modate. In the East it is necessary for platform men to provide themselves with winter and sum- mer sults. with rubber storm boots, coat, cap, gloves and mufflers and heavier underwear. The company here and now agrees that It its employes will purchase their uniforms at one take to furnish proper uniforms made accord. ing to the specifications just referred to for $16 each or less—coat, vest and trousers, N EDUCATED HIMSELF. F. F. Broder, master mechanic of the United Rallroads, was next called. He is but 28 years of age and told how he had educated himself, worked on farms and even waited on table to get a practical engineering course at college. He was on the stand the balance of the day and gave his testimony In a straightforward manner. Livernash attempted to get him to admit that the seven laborers under his jurisdiction needed a certaln amount of skill to perform their duties, but Bro- der stated positively a dozen times that there was always a foreman or an as. sistant watching the men while the; worked' in the company’s yard. Broder's testimony in part follows: 1 am_master mechanic of the United Rail- roads of San Francisco; as such officer I have under ny charge and supervision: pairs on rolling stock; (2) preparing specifications for new rolling stock; Tepairs on all bulldings belonging to the company: (4 shop work in the construction of special track work; (5) repair work on engine, boller and clectrical equipment Dower houses: (6) ma- chine shops: (1) electrical repair shops; and (8) I hire and discharge all men connected with these several de) ts. 1 am 28 years of age and have nt a .(&urunotmllbnnulumlumm méchanical work.

PAY MORE THAN ELSEWHERE. Laborers in the employ of my department number seven and receive $2 a day. Laborers in Los Angeles receive $1 75 a day, and in San Jose they recelve §1 75 a day; in Seattle, §2 a day. Grip and car (truck) repairers get time and a half for overtime: laborers also recelve time and a half for overtime. Free transporta- tion to and from work is also granted to all our employes; this amounts to from $2 50 to $3 per month. Any mah of ordinary intelligence can fill any of the above-named occupations with from one to four weeks' experience; the laborers need no previous experience. GMp and truck re- pairers when first employed are paid at the rate of 2215 cents per hour and are increased in pay as they grow proficient in their dutles; the greater portion of the men employed have abso- lutely no experfence when employed. The work is neither hard nor laborious and our climatic conditions are such that the men are not ex- posed to extreme heat or extreme cold; practi- cally no time need be lost throughout the entire year on account of climatic conditions. The employment itself is stead~ with no layofts for a dull season. A large portion of this work is | done under roof; there is no danger connected with the work and in a majority of the cases the work s performed in the day time. The men in my department affected by the demands of the Carmen’s Union are but few in number, to wit, 33, and consist of 6 truck re- pairers, 13 grip repairers, 7 laborers and 7 men engaged in assembling speclal track work, which are by this company termed ‘“‘track men."” The duties of the laborers are about identical |+ with that of a section hand on a steam rail- road. The work of grip repalrers and truck repairers Is not laborious or continuous, for they have during working hours considerable leisure. The brakes on the cars of the United Railroads are in first-class condition. In ad- dition to the regular wheel brake most of the cars are fitted with a track brake. Both are operated by a lever. The lever brake, the operation of which is by no means labor- fous, stops a car quicker than an ordinary ratchet brake, which is generally use in other cities. The cars are now maintained in better condition- than heretofore. We have more men employed now taking care of brakes on the same number of cars than we had a year ago. Motormen are not required to study electricity or make any repairs to broken- down cars. HOW TO RUN CAR. Directly over the motorman's head and within his immediate reach is located what Is known as the ‘‘circuit breaker.’” When the motorman throws on too much power the circuit breaker blows open. When this hap- pens he simply reaches up and pushes the switch handle back to Its original position, making the circuit thereby. Othcr cars not equipped with circuit breakers are equipped Wwith fuses made of soft copper or lead wire. ‘When the motorman turns-on too much power this wire melts and so protects the machinery on the car. Replacing this fuse merely con- sists in loosening the thumb screws, placing a new fuse thereunder and screwing the same up tight, 1t any extraordinary accident hap- pens to a car the motorman is not expected to make any repaigs, but his car s trafled or pushed into the carhouse, where a new car is given to the crew and the damaged car is placed In the hands of the car repairers under my charge. 5 Between August 1. 1902 and July 1. 1008, I have faken 200 wriiten applications for worl In addition to this I have had at least 200 applicants from whom I have taken no writ- ten applications. These applications cover every occupatioi in which I employ men. 1 have had fourteen applications for grip re- pairers by men who had some exoerience in this iine. I have only thirteen grip repairers employed at the present time. In addition to this I have had a great many applications for grip repairers by men who have been help- ers in_blacksmith shops and machine shops. This class of men are very desirable for grip repairers. As for laborers, not a day passes, but what I have at least two or three ap- plications ‘of that kind for work.

Howard. [ Victoria Advices Declare Dead Man a Citizen of That City. —_—— Berkeley's mysterious dead man was Captain Thomas Howard of Victoria, B. C. This fact became known beyond question last night through advices re- ceived from the police of Vancouver by loeal police. The identification isecomplete and the body that, was found behind Brennan's barn, West Berkeley, last Saturday morn- | ing, the skull fractured and pierced by | bullets, accounts for the disappearance of the Victorfa captain. Back of the dis- covery, ‘perhaps, is the story of a crime. This s the theory of the police. The Vietoria authorities base their | {claim of identification upon significance of the few effects of the dead man which | could be used as evidence. Upon the bedy | was found a ring having as a crést a lion | holding an arrow. This, it seems, is the Howard crest, and advices from the | north say that Mrs. Howard and her | daughter are wearing the same seal in thefr rings. | The laundry marks upon the linen of the dead man, consisting of the initial “H. land the number 23%, have been proved | | to be his initial and mark of the Victoria | | Steam Laundry Company, which was as- | { signed to his linen when it was taken into their establishment. A hotel clerk of the Vernon and Dallas hotels of that city by | | the name of Cave has told the Vancouver | authorities that the folding’steel footrule found on the body of the man in West Berkeley is undoubtedly the same one | | that he had seen him use many times. | | According to Victoria advices, the costume worn by Captaln Howard was similar in every detail to that described by the newspapers of this city as having been worn by the victim of the thugs in | West Berkeley, and there are still further | circumstances that tend to confirm the identity of the deceased as Captain How- | | fard.

Hi was once a leader in Montreal socliety in the sixties, prominent in all soclal events and a universal favorite, no fashionable affair being complete without him. He | was one of the founders of the St. James Club, the most exclusive in the Canadian metropolis. He held a command in the Victoria Rifles, Montreal's crack volun- teer regiment. In 1869 on the outbreak of the rebellion in the Red River settlement (now Manito- ba) the deceased joined the Second Que- bec Rifles and as captain and paymaster | served under Lord Wolseley on the first Red River expedition, one of the most famous achievements of the great mil.tary leader. bellion, when the province of Manitoba was created, Captain Howard entered politics and held the office of Minister of Public Works, Provincial Secretary and Provincial Treasurer at different times during the life of the first legislature of Manitoba, under the leadership of Hon. Henry J. Clark, the first Premier of the province, In 1875 Captain Howard retired froms| active political life and embarked in business in Winnipeg as a forwarder, in which he was very successful for some years. Early in the eighties he returned to Montreal, where he carried on a brokerage business until the discovery of gold in Yukon tempted him to try his fortune at Dawson. In the Far North he acquired some valuable hydraulic ground and 1t was for the purpose of disposing of some of his interests or securing capital to develop them that he took the trip to San Francisco, which has had such a pitiful and tragic ending. Deceased was in his sixty-ninth year, having been born at Kingston, Ont., on June 2, 1845, whence his father, Henry Howard, M. D., removed to Montreal. In 1868 deceased = married Mirah Walters Dyde, daughter of Colonel Dyde of Montreal, who with three children, two sons and a daughter, survive him.
