EFFECT OF LABORMay Interfere With Organizations
Now Existing.WILL DISCUSS BILL
AT SCREWMEN’S HALLWalton Peteet, of State Federation
of Labor Here to Talk ot That
Subject.Wa.lton Peteet of San Antonio, repre-
sentative of the State Federation of Labor
at the legislature, and others, will speak
tonight at Screwmen’s hall on the anti-
trust bill recently passed by the state
legislature and its ipossible effect on or-
ganized'labor. In speaking of the bill this
afternoon, Mr. Peteet said that while the
bill was not framed with the intention of
denying to organized labor any of the
rights now possessed, its terms were so
broad, general and ambiguous that it is
thought the bill could be construed to pro-
hibit the exercise of some of the rights
organized labor now has and greatly ham-
per organized labor along other lines.
“In short,” said Mr. Peteet, “the bill
can be construed so labor could not strike
for a betterment of conditions. The law
provides there shall be no lawful combina-
tions that can either restrain lawful trade
or commerce or interfere in the la.wful
pursuit of any legitimate business. We
fear that this can be so construed that if
any organized body of labor would meet
and name certain conditions upon which
they would be willing to continue their
service and specify tha.t unless these con-
ditions were complied with -they would
strike it would be unlawful. A strike
would certainly interfere with trade to a
greater or less degree. While I do not
believe those who drew the bill—in fact,
the author, Attorney General Bell, as-
sured me this is a strained construction—
that such a course is possible there cah
not be the least doubt.
“All organized labor wishes is the same
rights and privileges enjoyed prior to the
passage of this act. If we can get these
privileges, which we have reason to .fear
have oeen abridged by the last anti-trust
law passed, we will be satisfied.”
Mr. Peteet, it will be remembered, is the
.gentleman who ma.de such an eloquent
and telling speech at the last Democratic
state convention here in support of' a
.plank prohibiting child labor in factories.
Fie is well posted on labor matters and'
has a very pleasing delivery. Every one
interested in organized labor is invited to
be present.MADE GUN PLAY
FOR 1 HEIR MONEY
Now These Gambling Business
Men Will Pay $1,000 Fine
For Their Bluff.Chicago, Ill., April 9.—A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Sioux City, la., says-:
By payment of $1060 into the county
treasury, George and John Scollard, who
figured in a sensational incident in a
gambling house a few weeks ago, have
been given their liberty. A man of the
name of Rogers went into the Scollards
place with the intention of beating the
house. The house believed it was beating
a stranger whom Rogers had brought in.
When the scheme was discovered the
Scollards, it is said, held the entire crowd
up at the point of revolvers and demanded
their money back. After their indictment
and release on bonds they fled the coun-
-try. George Scollard was captured in
Idaho. County Attorney Whitney believed
all concerned in the affair culpable and
agreed to dismiss the prosecution upon
payment of the sum mentioned into the
county treasury.THE FIGHT ON
CLARA BARTONShe Says She Courts the Fullest
Investigation of Charges by
Congress.New York, N. Y., April 9.—Miss Clara
Barton, president of the American Na-
tional Red Cross, in answer to what her
associates say she considers threats of
opposition to her administration, said she
courted the fullest investigation by con-
gress of the affairs of the organization
from her first connection with it. Miss
Mabel T. Bordman, one of the nine active
members of the opposition, says she was
suspended without hearing and cites
Bishop Potter, Spencer Trask and Robert
C. Ogden as advocating a reorganization
of the Red Cross to regain the confidence
of the public.
Speaking for Miss Barton, her personal
representative says she is in excellent
health, but much worried over all the
trouble the Washington “malcontents”
have made lor her recently.
SHAMROCKS RACE
IN LIGHT BREEZETrial Under Conditions Expected
at Sandy Hook.
NEW BOAT PUZZLES
EXPERT YACHTSMENChallenger Got the Better of The Old
Boat But Didn’t Win In De-
cisive Style.Weymouth, April 9.—A 15-mile run to
leeward and the beat home, giving a lee-
ward and windward test of 30 miles under
conditions as similar as possible to those
expected during the race for the America’s
cup off Sandy Hook, was the course set
for the two Shamrocks today.
The breeze was light, not over five knots,
as the boats, under clubtop sails, ranged
up for the start and were sent off from
the mark boat off Weymouth pier.
The starting times were: Shamrock I.,
10:00:53; Shamrock HI., 10:01:00. The older
boat was just showing clear on the weather
bow of the challenger as they rounded the
mark boat. Jib topsails were broken out
and the b,oats reached off free across the
bay to get clear water for a straight run
down the wind. During the reach Sham-
rock III. showed the same form that puz-
zled yachtsmen yesterday. After the chal-
lenger closed in on Shamrock I., the latter
opened the way again, and as they reached
past the white nose of the older boat led
by nearly half a minute.WORDS “SPIT” OR

ment given out by Commissioner Lederle

tington Street Railways in
Los Angeles,Los Angeles, Cal., April 9.—The Times
this morning says it was accepted1 as a
fact yesterua.y that Senator Wm. E. Clark
of Montana represents the Southern
Pacific in its application for the cele-
brated “blanket” franchise for an 82-
mile street railway system in Los An-
geles.
Any doub? that might have existed was
dispelled by the discovery of the holding
of a midnight meeting by a quartette of
men who cemented the bond between the
Southern Pacific and Mr. Garland, who
acts as general attorney for the fran-
chise applicants. This meeting was held
at the office of Attorney Clarence Miller
in the Bryson block, and those present
were W. E. Herrin, general counsel for
the Southern Pacific; Walter P. Parker,
political agent for that company; Wm. M!.
Garland and Attorney Clarence Miller.
At this meeting was born the plan
which seems destined to wreck the policy
of transportation of the Huntington
family, and which has already caused
Henry E. Huntington to sever official re-
lations with the Southern Pacific com-
pany. Mr. Huntington has been for a long
time a director and vice president of the
Southern Pacific, but the attack of the
corporation upon his interests make it
impossible for him to continue. If he has
not already resigned he will do so. This
news comes from headquarters. It marks
an episode of national importance in rail-
roading, the passing of the successor of C.
P. Huntington, one of the founders of the
corporation, from the board.CANNOT CLOSE BIG CREVASSE.
Water Tears Away Cribbing at Hymelia
Break.
New Orleans, ^La., April 9.—News from
the Hymelia crevasse is so discouraging
today that the announcement of the aban-
donment of the work is not unlikely in the
course of the next 24 hours. The “blow-
out” of 40 feet of the cribbing reported
yesterday threatens destruction of all the
cribbing that has been built around the
break in the levee. This morning the gap
in the cribbing reached a width of over 100
feet and a great volume of water was
roaring through it and submerging again
plantations which had been relieved. One
final attempt is to be made to control the
situation, but there is only a slender hope
it will be successful. . Gov. Heard asked the
levee board and planters to put in 48 hours
longer in an attempt to close the break.
It is probable the Texas and Pacific,
which hoped to resume traffic in a few
days, will be tied up for several weeks
longer.
The river here today is 20.1, the same as
last night.TEXASWOMAN
SHOT HER LOVERMan Was Asleep in a Kansas
City Hotel.HAD TRIED TO DESERT HER
She Followed Him From Fayetteville
gaud Opened Fire on Him While
He Was Asleep.Kansas City, Mo., April 9.—A woman,
who came here recently from Texas, shot
and fatally wounded Carrol Nix of Fay-
etteville, Ark., while the latter was
asleep in a room at 410 West 9th street
early today. At the police station later
she refused to talk. The woman and Nix
were former sweethearts.
The woman was deserted by her hus-
band some time ago in a Texas town and
until recently had been in Fayetteville.
Nix, it appears, came to Kansas City a
few days ago to escape the woman, who
followed him, apparently intent on taking
his life.
As Nix lay asleep she entered his room
at 5.30 o’clock, unknown to any of the
other occupants of the house, and began
firing a.t him. The first shot struck him
on the nose, the second one hit him in the
cheek, the third in the groin and the
fourth grazed his left arm. The fifth bul-
let, the last in the revolver, went wild.
Tlie woman submitted to arrest quietly.
Nix, who was taken to the hospital in a
dying condition, said he had come to
Kansas City several days ago to get away
from the woman and said he did not know
she was in the city.
The woman is 30 years old and Nix is
25. The shooting occurred in the next
room to that occupied by Bud Taylor,
from the window of which the latter, two
years ago, shot a,nd killed his sweetheart^
Ruth Nollard, with a rifle.

Miss Anna. EVa Fay again packed e.e
Grand last night and the mystery that
surrounds her wonderful work is deeper
to those who have attended all of her
performances than it ever was. The Grand

yesterday and interest in this wonderful
little woman is quite intense in this city.
She will continue nightly the balance of

BURIED ALIVENew Jersey Woman’s Mother
Suffered That Fate and is Now
Awaiting Burial Herself.Bedford, N. J., April 9.—Remembering
that her mother came near being buried
alive, Mrs. Mary E. Morris, ever since, has
had a great fear of suffering a similar
fate. Now she is dead, at least she bears
every appearance of having passed away;
but so urgent was her last request,
amounting, indeed, to a command that she
will not be placed in the ground until five
days shall have elapsed from the time of
her apparent demise.
Several years ago Mrs. Morris’ mother
fell ill and apparently died. The under-
taker’s men came a'nd prepared the body
for burial. On the day before that set for
the funeral a mourner bending over the
coffin saw a twitching of eyelids and lips
and a doctor was summoned. He found
the woman still living. She lingered sev-
eral days. Then death came in reality.
When Mrs. Morris was married she made
an agreement with her husband, that which-
ever died first, the other would keep the
body for five days.FANATICS ATTACK
MOROCCAN FORTRushed It After Prayers But
Were Disastrously Re-
pulsed.Madrid, April 9.—A dispatch from Me-
lilla, Morocco, gives details of fighting at
Frakjana. It says 5000 insurgents made a.
desperate attack on the fortress of Frak-
jana April 8.
After the customary prayers the tribes-
men advanced with a wild rush, to the ac-
companiment of religious exhortations.
Twice they attempted to carry the for-
tress by assault, but were repulsed by
well directed fusilades, which killed a
number of insurgents. During the attack
the powder supply of the tribesmen ex-
ploded, killing many of- them.

Business Men of Pennsylvania Town;
Stand by Chief Operator,
Philadelphia, Pa,., April 9.—Officials of a*
company at Waynesburg, which operates
telephone lines throughout this locality*
have been notified by 100 business men of!
the town to remove the telephones from
their establishments.
The order came as a result of trouble
between the official and the operators ini
the Waynesburg exchange. The chief!
operator was asked to resign. The citi-
zens of the town formulated a petition
asking for her retention. This was re-
fused and the remainder’of the operators,
went on a strike. The subscribers say,
that the charges of neglect preferred!
against the chief operator are groundless...
A special meeting of the board of city
commissioners was held this morning, with
Coms. Lange, Austin, Norman and Kemp-

■chairman in the absence of President Aus-
tin. Chairman Lange read- the call for
the meeting which was to consider bids for
paving, construction of an engine house
and for a carload of carbon. The paving
bids were first taken up.
Com. Austin explained the various bids
and recoirtmended the acceptance of the
bid of Brown & Dabney of Fort Worth
for paving Strand between 22d and 25th
for $2.10 per square yard, with a 4-inch
concrete foundation, the bidders to furnish
everything and give a bond to keep the
paving in repair for a period of five years.
He said the city engineer had figured the
paving would cost about that amount.
Com. Austin moved the bid be accepted
after he had fully explained the bid. Sec-

withstanding the fact there were 20 meii
close by howling at her like they were 4,'
band of Apache Indians on the war path!
and doing everything in their power to stop!,
her, this heifer managed to get her whole
body clear through the crack, leaving big;
patches of skin and a great quantity oft
hair clinging to the boards. Down to the-
bottom hold of the ship she plunged. She
hit a stanchion while .falling and crack,'
went Miss Heifer’s neck. Another stan-
chion struck her hing legs and they were5
broken in a jiffy. Her back hit a third?,
stanchion, and by this time the heifer was
fit for cold storage or the happy hunting;;
grounds prepared for patriotic heifers. Atf
all events she was dead and her carcass1
had not been removed from the bottom of
the deepest hold of the ship up to 9 o’clock!'
this morning. But she will not play a part
in the great restocking program of Hisl
Majesty’s government.
“When we get to sea,” said First Mats'
Brysson this morning.” the cattle will not
eat anything for the first two or threflj
days. Then they will get an appetite that;
will be voracious enough to make one;
think they have never eaten anything in'
all their lives. Instead of losing flesh by
the voyage they will be in a better condiA
tion when we get to Delagoa bay than they^
are now. At least that is the experiences’
we have encountered in making four trips
with mules. There are, however, some
stock that never accustom themselves t<J
their cramped quarters. 'They fret andj
tug and pull at their ropes, and plunge
and heave from the time we leave until
they die from sheer exhaustion. We will*
however, arrive at our destination with at
least 98 per cent of the cattle we leave!
here with.
“In making the trip we will point the
nose of the Atlantian straight for the
Cape after we get clear of the gulf. It
may be possible that we. will put in at Bar-
badoes for water. If we do not we will
go via the straits of Florida, and once oni
the Atlantic we- will not deviate from!
our course any more -than the elements
force us to do. We will""feed the cattle
once a day and will water thei»-.pnce a'
a day.- We have 60 men engaged tort-GLOb,
after them and a crew of about 60 meij-- ..
who will also be used in the care of th$
cattle.
“When we land the cattle in South Af-«
rica we will have the devil’s own time at
first. Thirty days at sea is long enough’
for some of them to forget how to wallci
They will act strangely at first, but wherf
they find they can navigate they vyill throw
their hind legs in the air, will snort most
loudly and will cavort in a manner that
will lead one to believe they are just as
happy as the big sunflowers that bow and’
bend in the breezes, as you Americans say.
When we land them, unless our present
orders are changed, we will return to- Gal-
veston for another cargo. If this ship-,
ment proves a success—and such a large!
number of cattle makes the Shipment mores
or less of an experiment—I expect we will
take several cargoes from this ■ port to,
South Africa.”
At Atlantian will carry some 500 tong
of hay and some 500 bushels of corn, be-
sides a quantity of bran for the animals
while en route. She will
ter aboard here, having
tanks full, and it may
water enough to make
putting in at Barbadoes.
When the giant leviathan Atlantian
clears from this port for Lorenz Marques
she will carry the largest cargo of cattle
ever transported on a single, vessel, In all
there will be approximately 2600 head of
two three-year-old heifers on board the At-
lantian, and they will be destined to assist
the burghers to restock their devastated
farms and ranches. According to First
Officer William John Brysson of the At-
lantian—who by the way is a duecedly
■clever fellow and a, most entertaining one
-L-this is by about 1000 more head of cattle
than has ever been carried on a single ship
before in the history of cattle shipping by
sea.
Some '600 head of these heifers were tak-
en aboard the Atlantian last night.. The
balance will be taken aboard just as rap-
idly as possible. The Atlantian will get to
S8a probably Saturday or Sunday, this be-
dependent upon several contingencies.
All the decks of the big ship have been
fitted for
chates, or
stalls are
from 3 to
each apartment. Every heifer has a rope
tier around her horns and the other end
of this rope is fastened to the heavy plank
that is used in the making of these stalls.
The cattle acted queerly when taken
aboard. Can you blame them? From the
broad prairies of southwestern Texas,
where their roaming was confined only by
barb wire fences that embraced hundreds
and thousands of acres of grass covered
lands to the cramped quarters on board
the big ship all in the course of three days
is a change sufficiently radical to cause
even a thinking human to act queerly.
That the cattle were first put in cattle cars
and were transported by rail for a hundred
miles and more, were unloaded in the big
pens at pier 34, and were afterwards treat-
ed to frights and scares by the howling
mdb of men who- work them, by the
screeching noises of the exhaust of the
steam winches, by the rattle of trucks and
the' chunking -sounds of machinery, are
incidents that can well be pleaded in miti-
gation-yes, in justification—for their be-
havior.
Some of the heifers had accepted the sit-
uation this morning and were finding that
toothsome Canadian hay was not so bad
after all. Others looked and acted about
like a man who was expecting a visit from
his mother-in-law and was between the
devil and the hot blasting furnace in a
big iron foundry. A few were vainly
struggling to free themselves from the re-
straint imposed by the big stout rope
with which they were tied and the stout
fences which enclosed them. But when a
land-lubber who is more used to seeing
cattle In the shape of roast beef and the
like than he is to- viewing them at close
quarters on the hoof makes his way
through the narrow lanes between the
“lot's” on board the Atlantian he is sure
to run the imprisoned heifers a close sec-
ond in the “fright” business, There are
two short but dangerously sharp looking
horns on the head of each of the animals
on the big ship. The “lane” through
which the land-lubber must pass is about
three feet wide. It does appear that if
the owners of the horns would only crane
their necks just a little bit it would be the
easiest sort of a thing to send a “traveler”
to the demnition bow-wows or to an angel
choir. I had chills and thrills anyway
when I was making my way about the
ship this morning and the sensation is not
a pleasant one in the least.
There is one deep red colored heifer that
was intended for the use of a be whiskered
burgher, mayhaps, that will not graze on
the South African veldts as was anticipat-
ed. When this particular animal was
placed ..aboard the Atlantian she acted in
a manner that would justify one in be-
lieving that she was a patriotic American
cow of the Stars and Stripes kind—the
punster would say “kine.” As she was
driven up the chute that confined the cat-
tle that are driven from shore to the
ship she bucked, she reared and she snort-
ed. But one lone heifer could not prevail
against a company of determined men. She
was gotten aboard -and it was thought all
was well. But Miss Heifer had a mind of
her own. As she was abreast of the for-
ward hatchway, while still- on the spar
deck, she .gave a big lunge, got her head
through a crack in the “fence” that was
not over two and one-half feet wide, grad-
ually worked her whole body through, not-
