STREET CAR STRIKE OFFICIALLY
CALLED OFF ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Cars Now Running With Form
er Employes. 23 Whose
Cases are to be Arbitrated.
AGREEMENT REACHED
ABOUT MIDNIGHT
Company Preferred Charges
Against 25, But This Number
Was Reduced to 23 by Medi
ators.
Shortly before mid-night Friday the
announcement from local 577, Amal
gamated Association of Street Rail
way Employes was that the street
railway strike had been ended. The
contract with the mediation board
similar to that signed with the board
by the Augusta-Aiken Railway and
Electric Corporation, was signed by
the Amalgamated Association about 1
o'clock Friday afternoon.
Twenty-three of the thirty-five men
whose names were presented to the
board as being under charges, were
ordered on the bench until their cases
were arbitrated.
Shortly after mid-night Friday, or
early Saturday morning, officials of
the. association called upon General
Manager E. C. Deal of the Railway
Company asking for orders. They
were told to report at the terminal at
7 o’clock Saturday morning for
"checking in” and assignment of runs.
City and Aiken cars were run Sat
urday by the old men, with the ex
ception of the 23 whose cases shall go
to arbitration.
There was much talk on the streets
Friday afternoon and night of a hitch
in the settlement, to the effect that
the association men would not accept
i the terms. There seemed to have
been some foundation, a 3 the associa
tion men made a demand for specific
charges in each of the 23 cases to be
arbitrated, and they contended that
they would insist on that point. The
mediation board called attention to
the fact that the agreement signed
held no such ~condition, and that it
would be practically impossible to
furnish specific charges in each of
the 23 cases. The matter was dis
cussed at the union meeting.

JOHNSON IS FURIOUS
AT HIS ARRAIGNMENT
Negro Pugilist Storms at In
crease In His Bond. Shouts
at Lawyer.
Chicago.—Charged with the abduc
tion of a white girl, Jack Johnson, the
negro champion pugilist was arraign
ed in municipal court today. His
bond was increased from SBOO to sl,-
500 and the case continued until Oc
tober 29 th.
Johnson became furious when cun
sel for Mrs. F. Cameron-Falconnet,
mother of the 19-year-old girl de
manded that his bond be increased "I
don’t see why Johnson should be
shown any partiality than any other
defendant charged with a similar
crime," said Chas. Erbstein, the wo
man's attorney.
“I don’t think It necessary to in
crease the bond,” Johnson told the
court. "I am a responsible citizen. I
have a business worth $60,000.”
“It may be worth that you you,”
flashed back Erbstein, “but Its illegal
and you ought to be put out of busi
ness.”
"All right, Mr. Mayor,” commented
'joh nson.
' "If I was mayor of Chicago you
wouldn’t be in business three days,”
“epled the attorney.
After considerable wrangling Judge
Hojjklns placed the bond at, $1,500,
thd usual amount in abduction cases.
Then Johnson asked permission to
write out a check to cover the in
crease.
"All right. It will he cash then,”
shouted Johnson, spelling out the
word cash.
A professional bondsman posted a
cash bond for the negro.
Two agents of the government de
partment of justjee were in court.
Whert the pugilist stopped his auto
mobile in front of a downtown bank
today such a crowd gathered that po
lice were called.

COLUMBIA CAR
111 ON STRIKE
Not a ’Street Car Moving In
the Carolina Capital. Mayor
Gibbes Issues General Order.
Columbia, S. C.—Early this morning
the employes of the Columbia Elec
tric Street Railway, Light and Power
Company went on a strike and today
not a car is moving in Columbia. The
decision to strike was reached this
morning about 2 o’clock, after the men
had been in conference since 10 o’clpck
last night. There had been many
conferences between the employes and
the company and until last night it
had been thought that the differences
would be settled.
The carmen demanded many chang
es in the present system, all of which
the company agreed to, including an
increase of 2 cents per hour per man,
except to recognize the Amalgamated
Association, which they refused to do.
The company is willing to recognize
the local union but not the national
organization. Mayor Gibbes issued a
general order this morning to the po
lice department calling on them to
arrest all loafers or vagrants. This
order does not include the striking
car men. He also orders the closing
of all places where liquor is illegally
so’d. No disorder has yet occurred.
About 120 men are affected by the
strike order.
At 10 o’clock about six cars were
put In service. They are manned by
car Inspectors and soma of the men
who did not go out.
At the corner of Main and Gervais
street in front of the state capitol,
disorder occurred at noon when about
fifteen strikers attempted to pull a
car crew from the car. Strike lead
ers, however, qulted the disturbance
and the car proceeded on Its way.
AT ADIANOPLE
SIEGE, 500,000
Half Million Men Armed With
Most Modern Implements of
War Are Gathering.
London.—Half a million or more
men armed with the most modern im
plements of war are gathering around’
Adrianople today for what military
men anticipate will be a long and
hard fought siege.
The Bulgarian army, estimated to
number 200,000 men, reinforced by 50,-
000 Servians, as soon as war was de
clared, began to fight its way in three
columns through the mountain passes
which divide the Balkan states from
the territory of the Ottoman empire.
They succeeded in driving back the
Turkish outposts, including that at
Mustapha, where it was thought the
Turks might make a stand. As Mus
tapha Pasha is only 17 miles from
the fortress of Adrianople, a long time’
cannot elapse before the main armies
come into touch.
The Turks already have 200,000 men
in position and thousands more are
arriving dally at the front. »
One Servian army has been sent
across the district of Novi Bazar with
the object of joining the Montenegrin^.
