KISSES, CAKES
AND FLOWERS
Showered Upon Strike-Breakers By
Women and Girls in 'Frisco.
TREATED AS HEROES
Triumphant Trip Made by Two Cars,
Manned by Twenty Men, Through
the Residence Section.
Roses and carnations, instead of
brickbats and cobblestones, were fea
tures of Thursday’s run of two cars of
the United Railroads in 'Frisco, man
ned by twenty strike-breakers, from
the car barns at Oak and Broderick
streets for a distance of three or four
miles through the business and resi
dence section of the western addi
tion.
Stirred to admiration by the cour
age of unarmed strike-breakers in op
erating the two cars in the mob
crowded thoroughfares, women along
the route stood on doorsteps or leaned
from windows and waived hander
chiefs, clapped their hands, cheered
and threw kisses at the non-unionists
as the police protected cars ran slow
ly by.
On the return trip, on Sacramento
street, near Presidio avenue, a young
girl ran out from a florist’s shop and
tossed a handful of bright red, long
stemmed carnations to the platform
of one of the cars. Lifting their caps
and smiling, several of the men lean
ed far out and caught the flowers.
The cars were halted then, while
young women brought clusters of car
nations and roses from the shops and
offered them to the men.
Soon every strike-breaker had a
flower in his coat. The extra ones
they tossed to Assistant President
Mullaly, Superintendent Chapman,
Chief Surgeon Coffey, Assistant Pur
chasing Agent Finnigan and other of
ficials of the company, who were keep
ing pace in an automobile with the
cars. From a bakery shop in the
neighborhood a stout woman came
hurrying breathlessly, her hands full
of small cakes hot from the oven.
They were devoured in a twinkling
by the uniformed recipients, and she
ran back to her shop and brought
more.
But the afternoon’s trip was not
all cake and flowers. A taunting,
jeering, howling crowd of more than
one thousand strikers and strike sym
pathizers jog-trotted for blocks along
the sidewalks, reviling the car men,
yelling frenzied threats to “get them
yet,” crying “murderers,” “cowards”
and “scabs.” Now and then a stone
or brick was thrown, but the guilty
man, or boy, hidden in the recesses
of the mob, escaped invariably.

NINETY LOSE LIFE
In Flame-Whelmed Copper Pit in Mexico.
Only Seventeen Men Out of Gang
of 107 "Escape.
According to a dispatch which was
received in Mexico City from the city
of Torreon, Coahuila, at a late hour
Sunday night ninety lives were lest
in a fire which occurred in the Cor
nethas shaft of the Terneras group
of mines in the town of Velardena,
state of Dusnago.
The fir% started early Friday night
in an abandoned shaft. At the time
there were 107 men working in an
other part of the mine and from what
can be learned at this time but seven
teen of them escaped. Thirty-five
bodies have been recovered according
to latest reports received from the
scene of disaster, but as the fire is
still raging, it is feared that few
others imprisoned will be found.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been due to the carelessness or
a miner who was smoking a cigar
ette in an abandoned shaft, through
which he was passing. This section
of the mine, it is said, was exceeding
ly dry and it is believed that the man
in throwing away . his half-burned
cigarette allowed it to drop into a
bunch of oiled waste. A blaze imme
diately resulted and this quickly con
veyed itself to the adjoining timber.
The fire had gained great headway
before it*was discovered by the men
in the near vicinity. They found that
all avenues of escape to the surface
had been cut off. Seventeen, how*
ever, who were in a good position,
made a dash and reached the outer
air.
Rescuing parties have been working
heroically, but only charred and un
recognizable remains have thus far re
warded their efforts.
The shaft in which the fire is still
raging and is said to be beyond con
trol, is of a mine which is a group
of the largest copper producing mines
in the northern section of Mexico.
The Guggenheim interests are said to
own the property. Owing to the re
moteness of the region it has been
difficult to receive details of the catas
trophe.

COREY TIES UP
WITH ACTRESS
Wedding of Millionaire Brings
Climax to Rotten Scandal*
MORALS GIVEN A SHOCK
fiead of Steel Trust Grew Tired of Wife of
His Youth, Who Aided Him to Gain
Fortune, and Cuts Silly Caper.
A New r ‘York special says: In or
der to escape tlie unlucky thirteenth
of the month, William Ellis Corey,
president of the United States Steel
Corporation, and Mabelie Gilman, the
former actress, were not married un
til after midnight Tuesday morning.
The ceremony took place in the royal
suite at the Hotel Gotham, Fifth ave
nue and Fifty-fifth street, in the pres
ence of a small party of friends of the
contracting couple.
There was no music during the' even
ing, and there were no bridesmaids,
Miss Gilman being attended only by
Miss Frances Erskiue Shaw of Lou
don. Mr. Corey was unattended.
After the nuptials the pair took an
automobile aud were whirled away to
Hoboken, where they boarded the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm 11, which
sailed at 7:30 o’clock Tuesday morn
ing.
Mr. and Mrs. Corey will proceed to
Paris and will then go to the Cha
teau Genis, 25 miles from Paris,where
the honeymoon will be passed. They
expect to remain there until they, re
turn to America, about the middle of
July.
The wedding of W. E. Corey and
Mabelie Gilman is the culmination of
a scandal that has filled the news
papers for many months. In order to
prepare to marry the actress Corey
deserted his wife apd forced her to
get divorce from him.
Corey married his first wife when
he was a struggling day laborer in
the steel mills at Pittsburg. She bore
him children and they ’lived happily
during Corey’s rise to wealth and
power until he saw Mabelie Gilman on
the stage.
Then Corey discovered that the wife
of his youth was not suited to him
and began that ardent pursuit of the
shapely actress which resulted in the
divorce of his wife and his wedding
Miss Gilman.
Corey’s conduct was bitterly de
nounced by his mother, father, sis
ters and uncles. Two days ago the
uncle for whom Corey is named said
that the weeding of Corey and Ma
belie Gilman would bring its own pun
ishment.
It is estimated that Corey has spent
$4,000,000 in acquiring Mabelie Gil
man. About $3,000,000 of this sum
went to his wife and children. lie
has recently settled a fine estate on
his aged parents in the hope that it
would lessen their opposition to his
wedding the actress.
Although Mabelie Gilman has de
clared that C. B. Gilman, living in
San Francisco, is not her lather, he
sent the following telegram to her:
“Accept a father’s blessing for hap
piness and a long married life. Live
up to Christian Science.”
The message was addressed to W.
E. Corey and Mabelie Gilman, Hotel
Gotham, New York.
DEATH CLAIMS YOUNG GIRL.
Victim of Negro Ed Johnson, Who Was
Lynched, Dies as Result of Assault.
Miss Navada Taylor, the Chatta
nooga, girl who was criminally as
saulted by Ed Johnson, a negro, on
January 28, 190 G, and for which crime
the negro was lynched by a mob, died
Sunday night at her childhood home
in Findlay Ohio, of nervous trouble,
superinduced by the awful crime.
The case has become celebrated
since the supreme court of the Unit
ed States now has Sheriff Shipp, sev
eral deputies and alleged members of
the mob under the charge of contempt
as a result of the lynching.
ALL DIFFERENCES ARE SETTLED.
Guatemala and Mexico Have Reached
Amicable Agreement.
The Mexican ambassador, Mr. Creel,
at Washington, authorizes the Asso
ciated Press to say that the trouble
between Mexico and Guatemala has
been definitely and satisfactorily ad
justed.
Mr. Creel received advices from his
home government to that effect. As
to the basis of the agreement, the am
bassador declined to talk. “You may
state, however,” he said, “that the
trouble is now over, and that a satis
factory agreement has been reached.”
TRADE MUST BE FREE.

members of the several associations.
All such practices are perpetually en
joined.
