POST TEAM PLAYS WELL. . The crack Presidio post team won the | baseball game on Sunday at San Jose | with the Mayer Bros.’ team of all pro- | fessionals by a score of 1 to 0. The| game was a fine one all through, the | play being very fast. The garhe lasted | one hour and twenty minutes. The post team showed up in great shape, the | entire team playing well. Forsythe's*pitching was sensational. He struck out 13 men, and only allowed | 3 hits off his delivery. He was cool at | all times and never during the game did be lose his control. He also figured in a very fast double play. The fea- tures of the game were catches by out- fields Lamb and Cusack. Conrad did excellent work behind the bat, and it was due to his superb catching that Forsythe was able to do such effective work. His throwing to bases was of a high order. Manager Joe Wagner of the post team was naturally proud of the work | of his colts. A great crowd was in at- tendance and it is very probable that the team will play again next Sunday in San Jose and an excursion may be planned to go from here for those who want to see first-class ball played. A report, widely circulated through- out the Presidio yesterday that Cap- tain C. L. Bent had been shot, proves to be entirely without foundation. At the time the alleged fracas was sup- posed to have taken place, Captain Bent was at home with his family in Alameda. When the rumor reached | | i caused a great sensation and the-ru- mor rapidly spread all over the post. Captain Bent returned to the camp shortly after 9 o’clock and was much amazed when he was informed of the report. He stated he knew nothing of the affair, nor how such a story could have originated. | and it is said that the result probably | thing by arbitration. |in a “dead wagon” pickets.stopped an | an investigation into the acts of vig- | the City Railway Company, who said, NUST RESPECT CHICAG'S DEAD Police Notify the Strikers That There Shall Be No More Inter- | ders issued to-night by Chief of Police | O'Neil. J. A. Wadsworth, secretary, | and Charles Stevens, business agent of | the Liverymen's Union, were summoned | before Chief O'Neil to-night and told in decidedly plain language that any dif- ferences the union might have with em- ployers would have to be settled away from the houses of mourning. Chief O'Neil to-night issued a general order to all the inspectors of police. He instructed the commanding officés to accompany- funerals, if circumstances seemed to require it, to see that the last rites gver the dead were in no way in- terfered with. EFFORTS TOWARD PEACE. While the courts have been inclined to permit peaceful picketing, Chief O'Neil's orders tend’ ta’ prohibit picket- ing of any kiffd around the houses of mourning.- He declared to-night that, in his opinion, no court would be found which would fail to sustain an act of such evident necessity and propriety as that contemplated by the Police De- partment. On top of Chief O'Neil's order came the announcement to-night that peace plans looking to the settlement of the strike had beenlaunched. Through the efforts of the Chicago Board of Arbitra- agreed upon a basis of arbitration. The | proposition will be submitted to a vote | of the men on both sides to morrow | will be an agreemént to settla every- INCIDENTS OF THE STRIKE. A funefal party from the Northwest arrived in Chicago to-day, and after the body of the deceased had been taken from the Union Railway Station | omnibus In which the mourners were being transferred to the Dearborn sta- tion. It was explained to the pickets that the body was being taken south- ward and that train connections had to be made, but they refused to allow the omnibus to proceed until a union busi- | ness agent arrived. He heard the de- tails and then declared that the mourn- ers should proceed without interference. Plans had been made by John Curran to have a coffin containing the body of | his wife carried on the shoulders of six ' pall bearers from his home to §t. Pat- rick’s Church and from the latter place | to a railroad station, but in consequence of the slippery condition of the side- walks he abandoned the jdea. The body was removed in a “dead wagon.” More than one hundred mourners, in- cluding children and babies carried in arms, formed in a procession and fol- lowed the undertaker's wagon in the | street, GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION. The Grand Jury to-day commenced ! | lence committéd during the recent city | railway strike and against non-union men employed by the company since the termination of the strike. A num- ber of witnesses were questioned as to | their personal knowledge of so-called “wrecking crews” and ‘“educational committees.” Among these witnesses was General Managér McCullough of after leaving the jury room, that he had testified fthat he had no personal knowledge of specific acts of violence, but that he had told the jury in a gen- eral way of the violence which had fol- lowed the company’s attempt to move cars with non-union crews, The investigation will continue to- morrow and evidence will be sought in connection with the press feeders' strike, which has been in progress for everal weeks. Among the witnesses who have been subpenaed in this con- nection are John M. Shea, treasurer of the union; R. J. Street, cashier of the First National Bank; John B. Clark, president of the Hibernia Bank. These witnesses will be questioned in an ef- fort to ascertain if money was paid to “wrecking crews” and “professional sluggers.” 1t has been reported to the jury that checks of tke union were honored at the First National and Hibernia banks. Treasurer Shea was ordered to produce all of his books and records for 1903. He will also be asked, it Is said, to tell if he pald money or received ' orders from the higher officials of the union to pay money to ‘professional slug- gers.” e BERLIN TUSES GASLIGHT AT MIDDLE OF DAY Smoke and Vapors Hang as a Blanket Over the City, Causing Gen- eral Darkness. BERLIN, Dec. 21.—Berlin at mid- day to-day was in twilight and the whole business of the capital was car- ried on by artificial light. The met. eorological office has not noted such a phenomenon in a generation and at- tributes it to the light, motionless at- mosphere in which the city’s smoke and vapors did not ascend, thus blan- keting and darkening many square miles. e e Reduced Rates for the Holidays.
