OAKLAND , Cal. , April 6. The city of
Oakland has had many exciting events In Its
history , but never has anything occurred
hero to compare will ) the turmoil caused
early this morning by a regiment of unem
ployed men which left San Francisco
Wednesday to Join Coxey's nrnly In Us
inarch to Washington.
All night long every man , woman and
child In Oakland was on the streets. The
riot alarm was sounded , the governor was
asked to call out the national guard , pollco
anil deputy sheriffs were sworn In and armed
with rifles and preparations made for fight
ing of the bloodiest kind. And all because
CIO unemployed and desperate men resolved
to leave the city. Only a rash word or an
unlucky shot was required to precipitate a
conflict which would have resulted In the
extinction of this branch of the Industrial
army , for the men composing It were mostly
unarmed , and could have made but a feeble
resistance to the olllcers and citizens. Hut
the word was not uttered , nor the shot fired ,
for the army , overawed by force , consented
to move on when It was seen that further
resistance to the will of the citizens of Oak
land was useless.
On Wednesday last , under the leadership
of a man named Kelly , about GOO unem
ployed men applied to Mayor Ellert of San
Francltco for assistance to secure transpor
tation on freight trains to the cast. The
mayor contributed $7o and the regiment was
sent over to Oakland. Mayor 1'ardoo of
this city resented what ho called the foisting
of San Francisco's unemployed upon Oak
land and a tart correspondence ensued be
tween the mayors of the two cities. Upon
arriving at Oakland tlie army found that
the Southern Pacific railroad would not allow
them to rldo on Its freight trains , so they
campeil In the Mills tabernacle and waited.
Tlio people of Oakland fed them and they
were In no hurry to move. Finally the
citizens raised $200 to pay the faro of the
Industrials to Sacramento and arrangements
were miido to have them start at" C o'clock
last night. The party marched on to llio
Sixteenth street station to take the train
and the people of Oakland heaved a sigh of
relief at getting rid of them so easily.
WANTED DETTEH ACCOMMODATIONS.
When , however , the army found that It
was to bo transported In box cars the men
rebelled and refused to leave unless pas
senger coaches wore provided. So the army
marched back to the tabernacle. Chief of
Police Scliacfer tried to make peace by ask
ing the railroad company to supply pas
senger coaches. Division Superintendent
Wilder refused the request , saying that the
railroad company could not furnish the
coaches for tlio $200 that had been sub
scribed ,
All negotiations wore declared off , and then
U was decided to take action against the
army. Tlie olllcers received Information that
N among the leaders In the army was a man
who had been Interested In the Haymarket
riots In Chicago. This Information was
Bomewlmt. alarming to the olllcers and It was
decided to take speedy action and avoid
bloodshed If possible.
Mayor 1'ardeo hurriedly called n meeting of
the town council and a plan of campaign was
decided upon. At II o'clock Mayor I'ardeo
Issued positive orders to Chief of 1'ollce
Bchaefer that the Industrial army must bo
driven out of the city at once. The orders
were , of such a character that the chief de
cided they must bo carried out. Ho made a
eocrct Investigation and learned that the
nrmy consisted of about GIO men , who were
uunplug In the tabernacle.
Chief Schiiefer then Issued n general order
to all the members of the pollco force to re
port In uniform at once at the city hall. In
response to this order some twenty-five olll-
cors appeared at the city hall. The chief
came to the conclusion that this number was
not sulllclcnt to do battle with and ho did
not propose to take chances , Ho wanted a
full force bcforo ho attempted the raid. A
report was made to the mayor of the condi
tion of affairs and ho at once telegraphed to
the governor to have the mllltln railed out.
The telegram was sent to Sacramento , and
In case the governor could not bo found an
appeal was to bo made to Adjutant General
Allen.
Chief Sohaefer then sent for Sheriff Mc-
Kllllcan , ami a consultation was had at
the city hall. The sheriff agreed to swear
In all necessary deputies In order to keep
the peace. In the meantime Major Frank
O'llricn , commanding the first batalllon
of the Fifth regiment , Including companies
A , F and ( ! , was summoned to the city hall.
Ho was notified by the police to prepare for
action , as a telegram .had been sent to the
governor asking for assistance. Major
D'llrlcn at "once repaired to the armory on
Twelfthstreet , - ami his olllcers were sum
moned to duty. He notified the pollco that
ho would bo In readiness to report for duty
with two companies the moment he ro-
relvedord from the governor or adjutant
Kuneral.
L'nder the direction of Major O'Mrlcn a
fiatllng gun was placed In front of the city
hall and loaded for action. The gun was
placed In charge of militiamen with Instruc
tions to take no action until word was re
ceived from the major In command. At
midnight the mayor and Sheriff McKllllcan
nnd Chief Schaefer held a consultation and
It was decided to drive the Industrial army
out of the city at 3 o'clock this morning.
The excitement at the city hall was run
ning high. Tlie ofilccrs were arming thotn-
sclves with pistols , clubs and Winchester
rlllcs , Sergeant Fletcher commenced to or
ganize the men Into n company so as to
bo ready for action at a moment's notice.
At 12:30 : o'clock no word had yet been re
ceived from San Francisco and the mllltlu
was waiting orders to move and assist the
police.
police.DECIDED
DECIDED TO DUIVB THEM OUT.
The mayor and council were still at the
city hall and finally sent the chief of pollco
( iml sheriff to make a final request of Su
perintendent Wilder for passenger coaches.
Wilder refused , and forthwith preparations
for war were commenced , Oakland's police
force consists uf tlfty men and they were allen
on duty.
At 2 o'clock a general alarm was hounded
by the lire department bells , and th" cltl-
roiis hastened to the city Imll. Tlioro
ubout 100 were sworn In as deputy sheriffs
and were armed. The flro department also
responded and were armed with axe handles.
Then the city's forces marched to tlio taber
nacle where the Industrial army was peace
fully Blumbtirlng. They were rudely
ana ordered to move out. Tlie
men refused and things looked ominous.
Consultations were held on both Hides.
Finally the pollco arrested Loider Kelly
and several of his men and panned tlio rest
of them tip In n corner of the tnbiu'imclo.
They still refused to move mil MS thtlr
leader was returned to tlfem and the police
held another consultation. At List thuy de
cided to release him nnd Kelly was carried
back on thn shoulders of his men iimld in-
thuslnstlc cheers. Ho madd a upci-ch to his
followers , counseling moderation nrd urged
thorn to comply with the demands of the
people of Oakland. In the meantime ar
rangements had been made with the
Southern Pacific company for eight box
earn , Into which It was piopoxod to handle
the army by force. Acting undo. ' Kelly's
advice , however , the Industrials agreed to
submit peacefully , and at : ! :20 : a. m. fcrmcd
a line , und escorted by 100 armed pollco
and citizens marched lo the S'xte-nth street
station , where they entered the box cats and
shortly after -I o'clock the train pulled out
for Sacramento.
Oakland heaved another big Mgh of relief
and went back to bed. At Sacrinionto the
army will bo reinforced by about i'OO more
men , and , unless the railroad company agrees
to take the whole lot sMIl further on thu
journey across the continent trouble Is al
most certain to ensue.
Acting on the advice of Mayor Pardeo the
council has parsed resolutions , giving no
tice that the city will in Itituro refuse to
permit the Invasion of her territory by
any organl/ed body of destitute men ; also
that It will refuse to feed or shelter any
body of destitute men who may enter the
city ; also that It will enforce the laws
against vagrancy , begging , street parades or
disorderly assemblages.

the city tonight. They were escorted to the
Athletic park by the city marshal , where
/irrangements had been made to quarter
them. The city trustees visited the camp
and learned what the army wanted In the
food line , which was supplied Ilium. The
procession marched through the city In an
orderly manner , carrying tlie American flag
at the head of the column. F. Vlnette , In
command , maintains the strictest order and
seems to have complete control of the mem
bers. The army will go to San Bernardino

his followers from either the Southern Pa
cific or Santa Fo railroads.
LEFT SACIIAMENTO
SACRAMENTO , Cal. . April ( ! . The Cali
fornia regiment of the Industrial army , SOO
strong , arrived In Sacramento at noon. The
Industrials were huddled together In eight
freight cars like a band of sheep. As the
train entered the city they raised their
flags and cheered.
A company of 00 has boon organized In
Sacramento , the members of which will
Join their fortunes with the new comers.
The city authorities fed the army on soup ,
beef , bread and coffee.
Colonel Haker , one of the field officers ,
speaking for the army , expressed great In
dignation at the treatment which the men
had received at the hands of the Oakland
authorities. Ho said they W ro on a peace
ful mission , und "hungry men should not
bo treated like beasts. "
Mayor Stelunian has arranged to ship the
army cast , und they will leave at 4 p. m.

HOMESTEAD , Pa. , April fi. Tlie possibili
ties were wide open hero last night In the
matter of Homesteaders becoming excited
and thronulnc to join the Commonweal of
Christ. Frequent references made by Coxey
and Hrowno In their speeches reopened the
old sores. While it is at this time Impossi
ble to accurately estimate the number of re
cruits from this place , a conservative opinion
gives It at f.fty. The&o men will join the
army at Hull's Hun , four miles above , and at
other adjoining points , preferring not to ap
pear In tlie line of marchers as they pass
through the thoroughfares cnroiito to Mc-
Keedport.
It was a quiet camp at the hugo frame Ice
house at the foot of Amity avenue. Hay
had been thrown upon the sawdust flooring
and in this the men crawled , wrapping their
overcoats over their heads and shoulders.
There were over -100 men In a space that
would comfortably have accommodated a
hundred fewer. As a result they were
wedged In as elosely us corn In upon the
cob , many of them crawling hear the horses ,
hoping to find tlio animals more liberal In
their demand for space than shivering men ,
Tlio hour scheduled for breakfast was ! )
o'clock , but It was 10 before thn men were
served with their rations of boiled potatoes ,
bologna , bread and coffee. The raw , cold
wind blew along the Mouongahela and
chilled the men to the bones. More shoes
wore distributed today , but n majority of tlio
recipients carry them over their shoulders ,
preferring not to break them In on a long
march until compelled to do so. The total
number of recruits signed Thursday was
24S. A Uflh commune has been organized
named the Plttsburg commune.
Several members of the army were dis
charged today for quarreling over the
possession of u sack of tobacco.

ST. LOl'IS , April I ! . Under the orders of
the chief of police at East St. Louis Cieneral
Fryo's Industrial army took another but very
short step toward Washington thti morning.
Satisfied that the railroads would not volun
tarily transport the travelers. Chief Walsh
ordered flcneral Fryo to get his men beyond
the city limits as soon after S o'clock as pos
sible. Fryo accepted the situation and after
a hurried and abbreviated breakfast , consist
ing principally of bcani , ho got his men In
line and moved from Camp Relay In the
muddy bottoms of East St. Lnuls to a point
on the Colllnsvlllo turnpike Just outstdo the
limits of East St. Louis. There they halted
and went Inlo camp again to wait develop
ments.
In the meantime the East St. Louis pollco
outposts huvo been reinforced and orders
I sued to prevent the return Into the city
limits of any of the men , now that they
have been forced beyond the boundaries.
Just what will bi'como of the men Is hard
to say. They are practically without food ,
and the eastbound roads refused to move
them further , both on their awn account
and because of Instructions from eastern
cities not to bring the wanderers Into their
limits. Tlio lack of food for the men In
creases as the citizens learn of tlio unwilling
ness of thu men to accept the offer of the
East St. Louis water board of $ t-GO per day

unless boinuthlng now develops Fryo may
put Into effect a threat made yesterday to

The second reading of the East London

cause the Unnsbrough bill , appropriating

In all kinds of grass contemplated. The
government will probably , In Us munifi

distribute in original packages antidotes
for snake bites to the farmers throughout
snake Infested districts. U IH , In the
judgement of some good citizens who are
inclined to this Hort , Of paternalism , only
fair that the bill should also lie so amended
an to permit each farmer to draw directly
upon the public treasury for each day's
world In the extermination of noxious
weeds upon his or any other fnt-ni. Pos

CHICAGO , April . ( Special Telegram to
The Dee. ) Once In n great while a Chicago
policeman Is on hand at the right time.
Doubly rare , therefore , are the occasions
when two policemen put In their appearances
In the nick of time.
This distinction Is worn with much modesty
by Ofllcers Welnrlch and Mueller of the Lar-
abce Street station , who arrested four high
waymen early this morning while In the act
of robbing passengers on n North Halatead
street car. Three other members of the
gang , who wore acting as lookouts , escaped
from the officers. The four locked up In the
East Chicago Avenue police station gave
their names ns William Sullivan , James
Morati , Thomas McUovern and John Iliitchcr.
It was about 1 o'clock In the morning
when n northbound Halstcd street car
stopped at Division street , that n change of
horses might be made. Half n dozen pas
sengers nodded In their seats , while the con
ductor and driver were engaged In making
the change. Otto Herzog of 37 Itlssell street
was homeward bound from n lodge meet
ing with a tin box containing a number of
brass thecks and lodge documents. There
was plenty of room In the car for the other
passengers , and some of them reclined at
length on the seats half asleep.
THEY WASTED NO TIMB.
"Throw up yor ban's an' give ns ycr
money , was the gruff command which
brought every passenger out of his dreams.
All looked up and saw four burly ruffians
who had suddenly Invaded the cur. Herzog
felt a hand grip his shoulder and heard the
demand for his money repeated. He made
an effort to arlso and received a blow In the
face that hurled him against the window
with such force ns to smash It Into small
pieces. The three other robbers were equally
active In enforcing their demands on the pas
sengers , who were now wide awake 'with ter
ror.
ror.Jacob
Jacob Schcnckel yelled for help , and was
pounced upon by a robber who tried to get
his watch , Ho made a show or resistance
and was also knocked over the head and
thrown partly through a window.
The boldness of the robbers was remarka
ble. Each robber shouted and cursed , with
the Idea of scaring the passengers Into sub
mission. Olllcers Welnrlch and Mueller
heard the din half a block away , and reached
the car while the confusion was at Us height.
The two policemen took ,110 chances. Weln
rlch entered one door anil Mueller the other ,
with their revolvers drawn. The three
thlevea outside tried to warn their confeder
ates and then took to their heels.
MARCHED OFF TO JAIL.
The two ofllcers made themselves heard ,
however , and ordered the robbers to throw-
up their hands. The command was reluc
tantly obeyed , and a few minutes later the
gang was marching to the Larrabee Street
police station. 'None of the four had ob
tained any valuables from thu terror-stricken
passengers. The police regarded the names
of the prisoners as fictitious , since a picture
of Moran was found In the rogues' gallery
under the nanio of Moyle. The'ofllcers at
the East Chicago Avenue police station hay
Moran has boon In the Missouri penitentiary.

SAN FRANCISCO , April . ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) Probate Judge Coffey's
court room. In which the colored house
keeper of Mining Expert Patrick Nicholson
Mackay Is trying to establish her claim tea
a widow's half of Mackay's fortune of nearly
$1GOO,000 , Is crowded , because the testimony
la very racy.
Old Mackay made his fortune on the Coin-
stock , but for the last ten years of his llfo
lived hero with a negro housekeeper known
as Hattlo Schonck. He provided In his will
that she bo given $60 monthly during her
life/ but she contends this will was made
at the Instigation of his brother and others ,
and that she should have half the estate , as
he acknowledged her as his wife. She
brought several witnesses to swear that
Mackay called her "ducky" and "darling. "
and that she fulfilled all the duties of a wife
to the old caiiltali.it , who died In her arms.
Other witnesses testified that Maekay showed
much Interest In the approaching maternity
of Hattlo , but the child was not borne until
two months after the father's death.
Nathan Hlbo , a merchant , testified that
Mackay came Into his store several weeks
before his death with two huge parcels.
When asked why he was carrying bundles ho
said u baby was expected at his house and he
had been buying things.
" \Vhy. you are not married ? " said Hibo.
"Well , " replied Mackay , "according to
California law I may not be , but by the law
of sonic other states I am , "
The dead man's brother and other wlt-
nessoi swear that Hattlo was simply a house
keeper , and that $60 per month was a liberal
reward for her services , The estate com
prises real estate worth $100,000 and mining
property roughly estimated at $1,000,000.

Western Immigrant Matter.
CHICAGO , April li. ( Special Telegram to
The Hee. ) Nothing but unparalleled con
servatism on the part of the western lines
kept them today from declaring open warfare
with the Union Paeltlc and beginning the old
commles'on fight for the Immigrant business.
As It was they again put off the final de
cision , which will probably bo made to
morrow.
As already noted , the difficulty lies In n
disagreement on the divisions of transconti
nental Immigration business. Members of the
agreement will not accept the proposition of
the Union Pacific , and there the matter
hangs. The only chunco of an umlcablo
arrangement lies In the fact that a final dis
agreement was not reached today. The Union
Pacific Is well entrenched , for It Is backed
by contracts showing It controls In the
neighborhood of SO per cent of business west
of tne Missouri. Its ofllcers have done some
lively hustling , while members of the agree
ment were depending on the puny faith of
immigrant agents. The Union Pacific will
compromise for less than Ilia SO per cent It
now holds , but no bridge seems possible be
tween Its compromise offer mid the 10 per
cent In addition to Its pro rata share of
fered by the pool lines.

MILWAUKEE. April C. The long looked

In the United status circuit court at 2 o'clock

In nil other respects the Judge denies the
motion of ( he men.
The motion decided today \vni mnde by P.
M. Arthur. grand chief executive olllcer of
the Ilrotherhood of Locomotive Engineers ;
K. It. Sargent , grand chief fireman of the
Ilrotherlmod of Locomotive Firemen ; B. B.
Clark , grand chief of the Conductors ;

K. Wilkinson , grand chief of the Ilrotherhood
of Trainmen , and John Wilkinson , grand
chief of the Switchmen's Mutual Ilcncllt ns-
socl.itlon. The pet It Inn askcil for the modl-
tlcatlon of the Injunction of December 9 by
expunging the words "and from combining
and coiiKplrlng to mill , with or without no-
tire , the said receivers with the object and
Intent of crippling the property In their cui-
tody or ombarasHlng the operation of the said
road , and from co quitting the said re
ceivers , with or without notice , as to crlpplo
the property or to prevent or hinder the
operation of said road. " It also asked that
the passages In the siinplcmentary Injunc
tion ( which IK much stronger ) , covering the
same ground , bo eliminated. Thn object of
the motion WIIH to bring to a direct Isauo
before the court the question whether conrt'f.
can grant Injunctions to restrain employes
from striking.
.Indgo Jenkins said : "In the discussion
of the Important and Interesting oaickUnim
presented by the motion , It Is not the
provlnco of the .court to assume 'part ' In tlio
contest between capital and labor which it
Is asserted Is herein contained. It may be
that the aggregated power of the combined
capital * ls fraught with danger to the re
public. It may bo that ' the aggregated
power of the combined labor Is perilous to
the peace of society mid the rights of prop
erly. It doubtless Is true "that In the con
test the rights of both have been Invaded
and that each has wrongs to bo redressed.
If danger to the state exists from the com
bination of cither capital or labor , requiring
additional restraint or modilicntlon of exist
ing laws , It Is within the peculiar provlnco
of the legislature to determine the neces
sary remedy and to declare the general
policy of the state touching the relations be
tween capital and labor. With that the
Judicial power of the government Is not
concerned. Hut It Is the duty of the
courts to restrain these warring factions so
far as their action may Infringe the de
clared law of the land , that society may not
bo disrupted or Its peace Invaded , and that
Individual and corporate rights may not bo
Infringed.
JUST TUB TIMB FOK INJUNCTION.
"If the combination and conspiracy al
leged , and the acts threatened to bo done. In
pursuance thereof , nro unlawful , It cannot ,
I think , bo successfully denied that restraint
by Injunction Is the appropriate remedy. It
may be true that a right of action at law
would nrlso upon consummation of the
threatened Injury , but manifestly such
remedy would bo Inadequate. The threat
ened Interference with the operations of the
railroad , If carried Into effect , would result
In paralysis of Its biihlncss , stopping thn
commerce ebbing and ( lowing through seven
states of I ho union , working Incalculahlo
Injury to property and causing great publlo
privation. Pecuniary compensation would
bo wholly Inadequate. The Injury would bo
Irreparable. Compensation would bo ob
tained only through a multiplicity of snltH
against the 12,000 men scattered along the
line of this railway for a distance of 4.-IOO
miles. It Is the peculiar function of equity
In such cases , where the Injury would re
sult not alone In severe private , but In great
publlo wrong , ID restrain the commission
of the thcatened nets and not to send a part
to seek uncertain and Inadequate remedy at
law. That jurisdiction rests upon settled
and unassailable ground. It Is no longer
open to controversy that a court of equity
may restrain threatened trespass Involving
the Immediate or ultimate destruction of
property , working Irreparable Injury , and
for which them would bo no adequate com
pensation at law. it will , In extreme cases ,
where the peril Is Imminent and the danger
great. Issue mandatory Injunctions requiring
a particular service to be performed or a
particular order to be evoked In prevention
of n threatened trespass upon property or
upon public rights. I need not cnlargo
upon this subject. The Jurisdiction being
In question , Is plenary anil comprehensive. "
CALIAVELL'S OPINION ERRONEOUS.
The Judge then cited several authorities
and continued : "It would bo anomalous , In
deed , If the court , holding this property In
possession In trust , rould not protect It
from Injury and could not restrain Inter
ference which would nndcr abortive all
cITorts to perform I lie public duties charged
upon this railway. It was suggested by
counsel that as Improper Interference with
this property during Its possession by thn
court Is a uonliiiipl , punishment therefor
would be ample remedy , and that therefore
an Injunction would not lie. Thin Is an er
roncoiis view. Punishment for contempt is
not compensation for un Injury. The pe
cuniary penalty for contumacy docs nut go
t the owner of the property Injured. Such
contempt Is deemed n public wrong , and the
line Inures to thu government. Tliu In
junction goes In prevention of wrong to
properly and Injury to the publlo welfare ;
the line Is punishment of contumacy.
"There Is authority to Issue the writ wlinn
It Is not Impaired by the fact that , Indo
pcndontly of the writ , punishment could bo
visited upon the wrong-door for Interference
with property In the possession of the court
The writ rein-lies the Inchoate conspiracy
to Injure and prevents the contemplated
wrong. Thu proceedings In contempt Is ox
post facto with punishing fur u wrong
effected. "
OTIIBIl OHJKCTIONS IlEVIEWED.
"Asserting , then , as undoubted , the right
of the court by Its writ to restrain unlawful
Interference with thu operators of this rail
way , I turn my attention to the objections
urged to jiartlcular paragraphs of the writs.
"It Is contended that the restraint Im
