Contractors All Refused
Yesterday's ultimatum to the con-
raotors resulted in the flat refusal
ot the 45 cent rate by live contractors.
While u itrong non-English speaking
section of the workers seemed in favor
of declaring a general strike, the probability is that the strike will be con-
lined to the contracts where the *I5
cent rate is refused. This, however,
involves the complication that men
employed by thc city to build retaining
walls are served with their material

APPOINTS BOSTON NEGRO TO A
HIGH LEGAL POSITION
Mr. W. H. Lewis Made Aaaiatant to
the Attorney-General at Salary of
$5,000. First Time Negro ia Given
to Prominent a Position.
(Special to the Optimist)
Washington, March 1. President
Tatt announced today lhe appointment
of Mr. William H. Lewis of Boston
to be assistant to the attorney-general
at the Department of Justice, at a
salary of $5,000.
The appointment has created a lot
of comment, for Mr. Lewis who belongs
to Boston, is a negro. His legal ability
is unquestioned, but the fact that hc
has been selected for a position over
the heads of several white men, is taken
as an indication that President Taft
has decided not to observe the color
line in making appointments.
This is the first time that a negro has
been appointed to such u prominent
position. '

Victoria, March l.���In the closing
hours of thc Legislature an important
amendment waa added to the Health
Act today, by the addition of a "conscience clause" for the benefit of those
who are opposed to vaccination. This

in Englund, and under it, uny who
huve a conscientious belief that vaccination would be injurious to them,
on making a declaration, are excused
from the provisions of the Act.

Donger in Your Shoes
The elusive germ discovered in everything conceivable has been caught
hiding in another stronghold by British
scientists recently and the humble
instrument of his propagation proves
to be nothing more than nn old shoe.
The shoe dealer and the cobbler are
to be subjected to medical inspection
if the health officers of Manchester
carry out their threats, because, they
declare, millions of germs are conveyed
from one person to another by the common practice of trying on shoes and
also by the transfer of germs from one
shoe to another while in the cobbler's
hands.
In cases of tetanus, scarlet fever,
eczema or erysipelas, every one is extremely careful to burn or disinfect
the clothing but often the shoes are
overlooked and these diseases are readily
conveyed by the wearer to his neighbors,
especially in the case of scarlet fever.
The germ hunter is ever active, and
it seems to the man who is in love with
the good old times when we all drank
out of the same rusty tin cup at the
spring that we are not going to be
permitted to breathe in the same room
with another after a time, but will
each wear our own little breath purifier. A man in Ohio recently went the
limit when he insisted upon" carrying
his own car strap, so that when he had
to "hang" he would not be forced to
use the device which had been besmirched by the grimy hands of his
fellow travelers, and yet the precautions which we take and which our
fathers never heard of are doubtless
the only reason why we can live in
our congested, overpopulated quarters
and contrive to keep alive at all. So
look out for your shoes.
After Dinner Coffee
Cafe noir is a strong decoction of
black coffee which is served in small
cups and is often partaken of unsweetened or merely flavored with a teaspoonful
of brandy, or it may be sweetened
with a spoonful of stiffly whipped
cream on top of each cup.
To produce Turkish coffee the coffee
is put into a little metal pot in the
proportion of two large tablespoonfuls
of coffee, two lumps of sugar and half
a pint of boiling water. Allow it to
boil and bring it to a boil three times,
j after which pou it off into hot cups.
! This coffee should be served without
milk or cream.

High Price for a Husband
Emilio de Gogorza, the operatic
baritone is just about the highest-priced
husband you could find in a tour around
the world.
According to rumors from Europe,
Emma Eames, thc famous prima donna,
who is known as de Gogorza'a "musical affinity," has coughed up $100,000 to
get the big baritone as her hubby.
Before Madame de Gogorza allowed
her husband to get a divorce she insisted that he make ample provision
for her. Her price was $100,000. De
Gogorza hadn't the money. Emma
Eames had. She put it up. They are
to wed when the flowers bloom in the
spring.
Girls and Their Hair
Athletic gh-ls should make a point of
being so trigly put together that they
do not fall to pieces in the stress of
play or feel afraid that they may do
so. Men sometimes scornfully say that
girls cannot play games with an undivided mind because half of their gray
matter is taken up with anxiety lest
their hair is falling down, an anxiety
so keen that their hands are forever
going hairward to adjust slipping pins.
Now, that is an aspersion which all
athletic girls should ment) and they
should make such comment impossible
by arranging unruly locks in such a

Swis Couple Aged 19 on hei * Second
Honemoo
Geneva, Feb. 26.���A young couple of
Zurich, Hcrr and Frau ^Horgen, each
aged 19 years, have just set up a matrimonial record.
They were married when 18, and soon
after the honeymoon the girl wife became homesick and ran away to her
parents. A divorce followed, then a
reconciliation, and a few days ago they
were re-married at Zurich, and are now
on their second honeymoon.
Within the space of a year the Hor-
gens have been married twice, have
been divorced, and have had two honeymoons.
The Swiss divorce laws are lenient,
prompt and very cheap. A decree,
which is ab olute as soon as it is pronounced, may be obtained within a
month, and the costs may be anything
from $20 to $100 in ordinary cases.

GEORGE GOULD
YIELDS CONTROL
GIVES MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY TO ROCKFELLER
FILLING UP OF BAYS
Matter of G. T. P. Line Around
Prince Rupert Waterfront
Did not Strike a Blow���Had Probably Lost Confidence in His Ability
to Handle a Railroad Campaign.
George G. Gould has lost what is
probably his last railway fight, and
he has lost it before entering the ring.
A fighter by nature he has surrendered
control of the Missouri Pacific, the
finest railroad property which his father.
Jay Gould left him, without striking
a blow. In the past he has fought
desperate battles in the face of overwhelming odds, and lost them, notably
in the case of his fruitless struggle with
the Pennsylvania, but time has taught
him discretion, and he has yielded
control of this great line to the Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., and Rockfeller interests
without a show of resistance.
These powerful American interests
also had behind them the Deutsche
Bank of Berlin, which represented the
majority of the foreign shareholders
in Missouri Pacific, and this combination of foes was practically irresistible.
It is almost a year since the attacking
] party began the collection of proxies,
and the gathering of their forces. This
was carried out so secretly thai Gould's
attention was not awakened, and when
j the lawyers of his opponents demanded
thc books and lists of shareholders of
the company a short time ago, the old
railroad president knew that he had
lost the fight before he had begun it, and
that he had no choice left but a wise
reireat. It was more family tradition
than belief in his ability as a great
railroad president that had led him
to retain control of the inherited properties for so long, and it will he more
as a family than a financial loss that he
will feel his recent defeat.
COAL NOTICE
The Hon. William Templeman has
written to the city council stating thai
he has instructed Messrs. Pringle &
Guthrie to watch thc matter of the
filling up of the small bays a omul Prince
Rupert waterfront by the G, T. P.
which is now before the Minister of
Railways.
The firm have informed the council
that they have discussed the matter at
length with the minister, who reserved
judgment. In spite of the resistance
of the G. T. I', through Mr. D'Arcy
Tate, the i-ucstion will lie brought
before the Board of Railway Commissioners. Meanwhile Messrs. Pringle
& Guthrie are attending to the case,
and will keep the council posted. They
ask that the strongest possible proof
of the value of these small bays to
navigation be brought forward by the
city, and state that they cannot immediately give an estimate of the
probable amount of their account for
services in thc matter.

EXCITING COMBAT TAKES PLACE
IN NEVADA
Posse Pursuing Indian Murderers
Killed Women and Children in
Their Fight With the Tribe.
(Special to the Optimist)
Winnemuccn, Nev., Feb. 28. -Eight
Indians, including two squaws and two
children, together with one white man
were killed in a running fight here
yesterday when a pursuing posse of
twenty-one men came upon a hand of
tWdV-B Shoshones charged with the
murder of four wealthy Nevada stockmen last January. The squaws were
armed only with bows and arrows
but they fought stubbornly hy the side
of their braves until the band were
silenced by the guns of tlie pursuing
party. The remainder of the Indians
were captured and will be placed on
trail.
STILL NO FIRE ENGINE
Aid. Newton Once More Gently Reminds the Council Of It
Probftbly the quiet manner in which
Alderman Newton on Monday night
asked the Acting Mayor whether he
had heard anything yet of the famous
fire engine on order, had more effect
than if the redoubtable alderman had
"lulminated thunder" about it. He
called attention to the fire risk the city
ran every day the fire engine delayed,
and asked whether one or two smaller
chemicals might not he ordered in case
the machine broke down when it did
arrive.
Information regarding the far-off fire
engine was not forthcoming but enquiries will be made by the city clerk
for the fire committee.

A Message to the Workers
Since the demand of thc Industrial Workers was sent to a committee for
Investigation, the Optimist has purposely refrained from discussing the pros and
cons of the men's request. That was in fairness to the committee. The question
was subjudic, and comment while the matter was before the tribunal, would have
been improper.
Upon the decision of the committee, the Optimist thinks it better to make
no comment. Public opinion is already sufficiently heated, and many are ready
to lose their judgments. Comment on the matter may only still further inflame
the men's passions. And nothing that could now be said can reverse the j.dgment
of the city council.
But bclore the men commit themselves to a decision to strike, we would urge
them to cool reflection. With thc rights and wrongs of the question, it is idle
now for either side to waste words on. That has already been made the subject
of a decision. With the rights or wrongs of the case, the result of a strike is but
little concerned. Strikes are won or lost by economic pressure, not by rights or
wrongs.
The question for the men to decjde first, is whether they are strong enough to
win, whether a victory would be worth the price, and whether their surest route
is not by more peaceable paths. The elements in the present conflict are so different to those in most labor disputes, wc would in all friendliness���and at the risk
of being misunderstood- urge the workers to a careful weighing of their chances
before precipitating a strike.
In ordinary labor disputes affecting railroads or industrial corporations, the
workers' chance lies in arresting the flow of dividends to share-holders. In the
present MM that element is absent. The citizens are accustomed to using the
plankways, and a tie-up of the grading operations would probably not inconvenience
them enough to bring pressure on the council. The real estate men would suffer
owing to the tie-up in thc market, but on the other hand, most of the real estate
men are known to be opposed to the 45 cent increase, and it is probable they would
rather sulfer for several months than ask the council to guarantee the increase to
the contractors.
The con'ractors have no shareholders clamoring for dividends to worry them
into submission. They claim that while the men are working on the line for $3
for 10 hours, ihey will have no difficulty in getting laborers at $3 for 8 hours.
The workmen would do well lo consider in face of thc certainty that a strike
would be a long one, whether they would not do better to accept the sops offered
by their friends on the council and wait until another council comes into power.
Some of the aldermen have already expressed their readiness to retire if they can
do so without incurring legal penalties The workers have received a lesson in
politicians' promises which may be very valuable to them in days to come.
All accounts not settled by thc 10th, service will
be discontinued.

Acting Mayor Smith replied that the
plant was not doing all that waa expected of it yet.
"Then," said Alderman Hilditch, "I
still say that the department is not the
credit it may seem in some citizens'
eyes."
As to extension work Alderman Hilditch was apprehensive. "It has cost
about $42,000 instead of $22,000 to
put in the plant we have," he said.
"We cannot supply light at the promised
rate of 15 cents per k.w. hour with
the plant at its present cost. If we
extend at the same rate as we built it
will not be a profit earning concern."
"It seems," said Alderman Clayton,
'that Alderman Hilditch is bound to
get off on the wrong foot. He wants
us, and the public, to believe that
because thc first 100 k.w. cost $42,000,
the second 100 k.w. is to cost at the same
rate. This is not so. The initial cost
of installing this plant was heavy but
the engine is powerful enough. As
far as criticism goes, the department
of which Alderman Hilditch is chairman
is the worst managed and the most
expensive in the city."
Wiih the wings of an angel of peace
Alderman Newton entered the discussion. He pointed out that even if the
light "output was lessened in summer,
the plant might be turning out power.
Then Mr. Love's salary would be
justified.

Notes and Comments
Is the faction light in the council spreading? Last night, Alderman Newton
told the Industrial Workers thai "only one member of the council had funked
the issue and gone away." It is high time little Willie returned and squared himself
with the electors. '
The decision of the Industrial Workers List night not to consider a "sabotage"
strike, reflects credit on them. Let us all when we work, work fair, and when
we light, light fair. The Industrial Workers have thc spirit of the West.

Light Department in the Dark Hints
Hilditch. Streeta Department la
Worst Managed and Costliest in
the City, Saya Aid. Clayton.
A little till batmen Alderman Clayton
and Alderman Hilditch took place at
Monday's council meeting. Alderman
Hilditch expressed the opinion that as
the summer comes on and the output
of the light plant will decrease, the
salary of $200 per month fixed for E.
Love as manager of both the 'phone
and light plants seems high.
Alderman Clayton came in saying
that the two departments in the city
which are recognised ils thc most efficient
are thc telephone and light departments.
"When Alderman Hilditch's department is as ellicient il will be time for
him to talk," said Alderman Clayton.
"He liis - all along been promising to
do great things in the way of improvements and cutting down expenses, but
there is nothing to be seen yet. When
his own department is in as good condition, it will be lime enough for him
to criticise men who are doing their
best to get something really done in
this direction."
Alderman Hilditch denied that the
light plant was as efficient as Alderman
Clayton made out. The saving in coal
consumption he said was really due
to the fact that only one boiler was
being used. The light plant was not
lighting all the area it had been expected
to light.
"It seems," said Alderman Clayton,
"that Alderman Hilditch's information
i n this subject is the same as it is on
many other subjects. He knows very
little about il. We are not using two
boilers because we do not need two
boilers, and thc saving in coal comes
to about $26 a week."
Alderman Hilditch asked the chairman of the light committee the direct
question: "Are we getting out of the
light plant the result we expected?"
As an export uccounta \ Mayor
Manson is going to prove of great
i assistance to the cily council when
he gets back from Victoria. On Mon-
, day thc aldermen began to consider
, the auditors' report on the city finances.
They sat in committee of the whole,
I but after a little discussion they all
quit, agreeing that it will bc ever so
i much better to let Mayor Manson stay-
wit h the job for a day or two when he
comes back so that he can unravel
ithe mysteries of the figures and explain
them to the council.

Had a letter from Vancouver today
and heard some tall knocking there
1 about I'rince Rupert. Good sign. That
means Vancouver is commencing to sit
up and take notice. And it will from
! now on if I and the other boosters of
Prince Rupert are on the job and help
the natural development of this wonderful city and harbor.
That brings me to the possibilities of
Prince Rupert's future. Don't believe
that Prince Rupert will never become
a first clasa city. It will. We have
the geographical location ; we have the
finest harbor on (Jie Pacific in Canada,
and we will have a cracker-jack railroad in a few years, maybe more than
i>i\j'. That all means progress and
growth and expansion.
And that also means that we have
the opportunities.

TRAIN HELD UP
NEAR ST. LOUIS
MASKED MEN MAKE A BOLD AND
DARING ROBBERY
Held up Express Car Within the City
Limits, and Made Away With Express Packages and Money Box.���
Gagged the Messenger
(Special to the Optimist)
St. Louis, March 1.���One of thc most
daring train robberies In history occurred
late last night within the city limits.
The Iron Mountain train was on its
way in, when a number of masked and
heavily armed men boarded the train,
and proceeded to the express car. Thc
messenger who was taken quite by
surprise, made small resistance. He
was bound and gagged, and the men
after going through the packages, made
oil, taking with them certain packages
which they selected and the money
box from the express car.
The daring nature of the hold up has
aroused public opinion.
NEW PASSENGER OFFICES
Grand "Trunk Staff Installed in More
Commodious Premises Now
Mr. McMaster is just getting things
shipshape in the new Passenger and
Freight Offices of the Grand Trunk
Pacific at the wharf on Centre street.
The building formerly occupied by
Gen. Sunt. Mehan and his stall is now
devoted entirely to Mr.McMnster and
staff.
In the rear portion of the building
with door opening on Centre street
passengers will find the booking ollice
and a small waiting room. Towards
the wharf are the friehgt office and
Mr. McMaster's private office. All
the offices are roomy and conveniently
arranged, and will bc more suitable

being done by the G. T. P. steamers.
Gen. Supt. Mehan has removed with
his staff to the offices immediately
behind his former offices, the white
building lately occupied by the Drafting
and Engineering Staff.

This touching little poem was written by Austin Dohson, an English
writer born in 1840. He was an officer
in the British civil service, and has
written many fine poems, some humorous, others marked by the delicate nnd
tender pathos apparent in these verses.
The poem has reference to thc bloody
victory gained by the Germans over the
French on the battlefield of Sedan, in
France, September 1-2, 1870.
Here, in this leafy place,
Quiet he lies;
Cold, with his sightless face
Turned to the skies;
'Tie but another dead;
All you can say is said.
Carry his body hence,*���
Kings must have slaves;
Kings climb to eminence
O'er men's graves;
So this man's eye U dim,���
Throw the earth over him.
What was the white you touched
There, at his side?
Paper his hand had clutched
Tight ere hc died;
Message or wish, may be;
Smooth the folds out, and see.
Hardly the worst of us
Here could have smiled)
Only the tremulous
Words of a child���
Prattle, that has for stops
Just a few ruddy drops.
Look. She is sad to miss,
Morning and night,
H is her dear father's - kiss;
Tries to be bright,
Good to mamma, and swett.
That is all. "Marguerite."
Ah, if beside the dead
Slumbered the pain
Ah, if the hearts that bled
Slept with the slain
If the grief died,- but, no,���
Death will not have it so.
The Wonderful Railroad
The railroiids, as we know, make
nothing by hauling f ei ht. There is
n money in the c mmutat on t attic,
nd th Pullman r mpany is los ng

bing" on the contract men. And if
the contract men go on working at the
low rate, they are "scabbing" on the
city men who have gained the 45 cent
rate. This so complicates the situation
that there is some chance yet that a
general strike may be declared. The
difficulty along with a dispute as to the
manner of strike adopted, kept the
workers up late last night at their
meeting. From half past seven p.m.
last night until one a.m. this morning
they debated the labor situation in the
Skating Rink. The seated section of
the rink was densely packed, a continuous stream of men having poured
into the building from the opening.
From eight hundred to a thousand
workers must have been there. W.
Fraser presided. His post was an
onerous one.
Aid. Newton Explains
To begin with in response to an invitation by the P. R. I. A., Alderman
Newton gave his understanding of the
exact intention of the city council as
regards the 45 cent increase. Alderman
Kerr, and Alderman Hilditch were
also expected to be there, but Alderman
Hilditch had not received his invitation,
and Alderman Kerr was detained elsewhere. The burden of explanation fell
on Alderman Newton.
Alderman Newton said that the situation had been much complicated by
the legal dilticulty involved. Had il
not been for that the men would have
had the increase right away. But the
idea of the method taken was to avoid
landing the city in entanglements.
"That," said Alderman Newton, "is
why we thought it prudent to get
around the matter in a way to reach
the end that we thought advisable. I
do not think that any citizen will tiutl
that he receives much less money than
lhat asked for."
The chairman asked Mr. Newton if
he would kindly outline the scheme-
by which the council were going to give
the increase. What men were to get
it and what men were not to get it'.'
Want a "Legal" Minimum
"Every individual on the city staff
will receive consideration," said the
Alderman. "Do you understand that
without iLs being put out in its bald
way? Every citizen worker with the
one exception of those doing light
work such as snow-shovelling, etc., will
receive favorable consideration as I
understand the intention of the council.
Some may say 'Why ask a man to work
for 37 1-2 cents at all?' The idea is to
have some minimum scale. There are
legal entanglements, and it was felt
that there should be the minimum rate
of 37 1-2 cents somehow so as to show
in court if necessary that such a thing
exists."
The Chairman- "That is satisfactory."
In reply to other questions Mr. Newton said that the reason the P. R. 1. A.
was not notified of the council's decision
was because the committee was "Frankly, a regular bear-garden," and formalities were overlooked. He held
that he had adhered to his election stand
and promises. He had all along intended "citizen workers," but by citizens he meant men of any nationality
who were really trying to make their
homes in Prince Rupert. The council
woultl estimate the merits of citizenship claims of this kind according to
length of time of residence in the city.
A motion thanking Alderman Newton
was cordially carried, and the meeting
also carried a motion accepting the
council's decision on the wage increase.
Wants Destructive Strike
Then began the trouble. The question
of whut to do about the contractors
was opened. W. Casey came forward
with a resolution plainly advocating
a strike on the French "Sabotage"
plan, that is the workers to remain on
the job, but to do as little work and
as badly as possible, and in such a
way as to damage the tools and machinery as if by accident. Men would
bc fired, of course, but others taking
their places would always develop the
same studied and destructive incompetence.
It icquired n lot of explanation in
various languages to get this idea
clear, and then Ihe mass of the meeting
was not in favor of it. The word "sabotage" worried them, and Casey altered
the expression to "Irritation Strike."
Still the idea seemed too far advanced
for some of the principal speakers, and
was not approved by most.
While some vigorous speakers both
in English and other tongues advocated
a straight strike, either general, or
confined to the contractors who refused
the 45 cent rate, there were also more
moderate speakers. Mr. Shaw in particular appealed for delay. A motion
that a cessation of work for one week
be callid was lost. Another motion
that an Irritation Strike be called was
also lost. The chairman, as thc hour
grew later, urged on the meeting the
need for a motion straight for or against
a strike.
Favored a Strike
A motion was accordingly framed
to the effect that all workers in receipt
of 45 cents per hour should work and
all in receipt of less should strike.
This was put to the meeting, and
looked like being carried by a show
of hands, and loud cheering, but Mr.
Casey called the chairman's attention
tp the terms of the P. R. I. A. Constitution which calls for a secret ballot
on a strike question. The hour was
too late for a ballot to be taken then,
so the motion that the ballot be taken
loday was put through instead.

N'CH-
Is Alter Aid- Morrissey
Dear Sir, -I notice in this Evening's
Empire, Mr. Monissey's remarks regarding the alteration of grade and extension of Fifth street. May I ask if
Mr. Morrissey has given the cost of
such an alteration the least serious
consideration, also has he come to
any conclusion as to who should pay
for these alterations'.'
Fifth street at present according to
the map is only 56 feet wide, while
our main streets are 94 feet wide, the
difference is almost the size of two lots.
If these lots were purchased all along
the line from Second avenue to Sixth
avenue for street widening purposes,
one can imagine what nice round compensative prices the ratepayers would
have to pay for them. Perhaps the
alderman or some close friend owns
two such lots, or have inside property
that by such an alteration would be
converted into corner tots. Did Mr.
Morrissey go on the council with the
sole object of pushing extravagant
expenditure on the junction of Fulton
street, Fifth avenue, and Fifth street?
We never hear of him in connection with
anything else. He never mentioned
: that such a necessity was so important
i while electioneering.
What is further, for the lust two
j years Fulton street has been established
I us u main artery through the city, and
many people have invested their money
on thut basis, if Fulton street, between
Fifth street und Third avenue were
converted into u side street I should
think they would be entitled to com-
pensution.
Tuking into consideration all these ]
expenditures, which would be necessary
If the proposed alterations were made, j
and this alteration would only affect
ubout 1,000 feet of street, for the same
amount of money we could have every
street und avenue in uny of section,*!
6, 7, or 8 put in u hubituble condition
which ut the present time muny streets
ure not, while in section 5 mound Fulton
und Fiflh streets und Fifth uvenue
are well provided for.
