May l.-The Ion dreaded May day failed to bring the revolution which Inflamatory Journal predicted, but noe lb less It brought scenes of extreme vio lence. The lshof districts, which thousands of troops controlled with difficulty and even central portion! of Paris, have taken on the appesrance of a siege, with regiments of Infantry and ravalry camped about tha Arc Pa Trlompc, the bourse, the Bank' of France and the great railway station, while military sentinels paced before bank and private establishments. The main thoroughfares In the residential portion of . Paris remain tranquil. In the west end far removed from ' riotous scenes people were disposed to treat the events In tha labor quarters as harmless effervescence. It was, however, much more than that. Through out the afternoon dragoons, republican guards and eurlaeelers charged disorderly masses, sweeping the Place Ie La Re.pub Hque and the broad boulevard De Maganta. Toward nightall cavalry charged . with drawn swords and many persons were wounded on both sides. The manlfestants overturned omnibuses and threw hasty barricades. Over 1,009 arrests were made during the day. At no time did the demonstration reach ' the magnitude of a revolt, but was rather a lesdnrless tumult. In which the aerlous labor element, strangling for a principle, was hopelessly confused with violent agita tors, anarchists, revolutionists, roughs and a large number of curious. The workmen never succeeded In forming a procession or . In assembling more than scattered banda. The feature of' the demonstration was a meeting of several thousands In the labor exchange, at which a resolution w adopted not te return to work until the , eight-hour day shall bave been accepted. Pol lee I.OS Caetrol. The woret hour of the day was toward 5 o'clock this evening, when the police practically lost control and were compelled to rely on mounted troops. The latter. forming In lines twenty yards across and fifteen yards apart, awept around the Plaoa de 1 Republlque, driving the disorderly "brr'.wd into the aurroiindlnll streets. ' Most of the mob nought refuge In the Boule- ' -vard He Magenta and at the Qual de Valmr. which became centers of disorders. Here trumpets sounded repeated commands to disperse and the cavalry galloped Into the crowds, trampling and Injuring many. A body of foot guards became surrounded by manlfestants and was rescued with difficulty by cavalry with drawn swords. Here a considerable number were wounded. By o'clock calm had been in a measure restored and most of the troops returned to their barracks. Throughout the disorders the authorities . succeeded In executing their original plan of holding the disturbers strictly within the limite of the labor district and not permit ting them to press towards tha wealthy commercial and residential sections. Tonight vehicular traffic la completely suspended. Cabs, omnibuses and street ears ' are hot running, the result being to give tha usually busy boulevards a singular as pect of desertion. Enormous crowds of curlousepeople Oil tha streets. The Opera ' and ether etata theaters are open, the Opera having two squadrons of currasslere in the basement, while Felix Welngartner Is conducting a Beethoven and Berltoa fee tlval in . the auditorium. Ten of the lead- lng' theaters are closed on account of the ' exceptional conditions. The banks were closed throughout the day. At 10 o'clock tonight dragoons still oc cupfed the streets surrounding the Bourse and the other great financial establish meats. , - The temper of tha workmen tonight Is threatening. They claim that the police aeted brutally and cite many Incidents of Innocent people being beaten and arrested. They declare that today was only the be ginning of the movement. During the taflernoon tha - crowds of strikers increased on the Place de la Re- pitbllque neceesltatlng the frequent Inter vention of the troops, dragoona charging and forcing bark the disturber of the jwave toward the canal. . Rlt Aet Is Read. Prefect Loplne left the prefecture of police In an automobile and personally dt rected the situation on the Place de la Republlqu. Tha number of arrests totalled 260 at S o'clock. The Boulevard Magenta then became tha oenter or disorder and a magistrate read the riot act and the trumpeter of tha republican guard sounded 4 . an ord --j refused order to disperse, but the manlfestants to move, whereupon the guards d repeatedly, driving the crowds be fore them. Many . were wounded and trampled. Prefect Lupine, who witnessed the move ntema of the guards and dragoons, was at one time surrounded by crowds which Jeered him. Generals Buxaliie-Hayter and Mullard torn conferred with M. lupine lom'ernirg the action of the troops. The poller at tha time appeared to have reached the limit of their capacity and dragoons and mounted republican guards began tak ing the place of the pullcu and charging at the gallop, the crowds hissing and shout ing "Down with the army," while some of th ntost exctu-d of the rioters erected a barricade aero.) the Rue dt-s Ccndriers, which the troops and pullca soon tore down.

Arguments were resumed here today lo the United States district court before Judge Bmlth McPher- son on the demurrer of the Chicago, Bur lington ec Quincy railway to the Indictment charging that company with giving of re bates. The arguments were not completed and will be continued tomorrow. The Burlington's contention Is that the Indictment should be quhed because the rebates were upon shipments for foreign porta. Today A. S. Van Valkenburg. United Slates district attorney, arguing for the government, contended that there really Is no such thing aa a through rate from an Interior point to a foreign country. The rates are madevup of two proportions, one of whlch,belo' 1 to the ocean carrier. No railroad tone . e Atlantic seaboard has any conne '. steamship company.

If a shipment of flifiir were sent to New York and stored, the law would apply, and hy not when the flour or meat Is taken to New York, put off the cars, put on a boat and reshlpped at once? The railroad does the same In each case, he asserted. . EFFECT OF EMBALMING FLUID Isaportoot Point la rae of Lawyer Patrick Belnsjr Heard la !w York. NEW YORK, May l.-The effects of the embalming fluid In concealing evidences of death by Inhaling chloroform was the sub ject of expert testimony today at the hear ing of Albert T. Patrick's motion for a new trial on the charge of murdering William Marsh Rice of Texas. Dr. Albert T. Weston, a coroner's physi cian and wit nee called In Patrick's behalf, said that he had Injected embalming fluid Into the bodies of twelve persons before making an Incision of the lungs. Although none of these persons had died of Inhaling choroform, he was s tinned, lie said, that the embalming fluid made entry Into the lunga and would make It difficult to deter mine whether" death hsd been caused l.y breathing any Irritant vapor,. choroform In eluded. Patrick's contentions had been that embalming fluid may cause the lungs to appear as if the subject bad died of choroform poisoning. DIVISION IN COMMITTEE moot Cose Gore Over Boeaase eaators Caaaot Decldo oa Their Program. WASHINGTON, May 1. Differences of opinion on constitutional questions caused an adjournment until Friday of tha Snioot case before the senate committee. The question Is whether the proper procedure Is to move that the Utah senator be expelled which would require a two-thirds' vote, or to exclude hint from membership In the senate, which requires a majority vote. Senators Burrows and Dubois, arguing that the charges against Smoot are for violating the laws of the land and not for miscon duct as a senator, believe that he should be expelled. Senator Smoot had several defenders In the committee, among them Beveridge, Dillingham, Foraker and Hopkins. There Is no expression, however, which would In dicate how the comr.iittee stands on the merit of the ease.

VEHICLES UNABLE TO HANDLE TRAFFIC Power of Llahtlng Plaat (nfllclent to UlasBlaate Inbarnea Part of City and Repairs Aro . Being; Made. 8AJ FRANCISCO, May l.-For the first time since the earthquake and Ore laid this city in ruins street lights last night gleamed through the black mantle which haa enveloped the city after nightfall since th day of the disaster. For nearly two weeks not a street light bad broken th darkness In which th city had been wrapped. Everybody stayed Indoors after dark and nearly all 8an Francisco went to bed with the setting of the sun. For the first week after the fire lights were not permitted. Gleaming arc lights were seen from all over the city and did more to make people hopeful, restore confidence and good feeling than anything alnce the earthquake. Next- to the resumption of street car . service the restoration of elec tric lighting la one of the most Important Indications that the city la rapidly re turning to normal condtlons. Street lights were burning In only a small section of the city last 'night, but they were hailed with much satisfaction as a good omen. The lights turned on last night were In the Portero district. In the southern part of the city, and were oper ated by the electric lighting company's Potrero plant, which waa practically un injured by the earthquake and waa not In the fir sone. General Manager Nathaly of the Ban Francisco Oaa and Electric company, has announced that there will be several hun dred arc . lights Irt operation throughout the unburned sections of the city tonight. Mere I-tahte and Cara Promised. Besides the three light routes for which permission was granted several days ago It Is Intended to Install lights along the principal roads where supplies are being hauled into the city. The company claims that tt has enough power In the Potrero plant to Illuminate the entire unburned sections. The question of restoring the electric lights will be taken up tomorrow or the next day and lights will be turned on as fast as the necessary permits can be secured. The street car eervlce Is rapidly being extended aa fast as large gangs of men clear the streets of debris and replace the twisted and warped rails. The United railroads operated cars last night until 10 o'clock. Seven o'clock was the hdur set for the cessation . of street car traffic until permission was granted to resume It, but late yesterday afternoon the railroad company was advised that It would be per mitted to run ears until 10 o'clock, at night. It having been demonstrated that there was no more danger at night than In the day time. The cars ran so far have been utterly Inadequate to handle the heavy trafflo and the owners of almost every kind of vehicle are having a lucrative business of hauling large numbers of people at thn. rate at It SO rente each to and from the ferry. Ijist night waa the warmest and balmiest since the thousands of people have- been compelled to camp In the open. In nearly all the parks and squares the homeless are now quite well provided with warm bedding and com fortably housed In tents. This problem has been pretty well solved by the ar rival of blankets, but the food question is one that is eauBing the authorities much worry. Governor Visit OaklaaeT. OAKLAND. Cel., May 1.

The railroad men did not give the Missouri river representatives much encouragement, but promised to take the matter under advisement.

MAKES A PLEA FOR THE FRUIT GROWERS Temporarily Defeated, hat Appropria tion Is Finally Placed on the Acrlealtnral BUI Minor Matters af Capital. (From a Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON. May 1. (Special Tele gram.) Congressman Pollard had the un usual distinction accorded him today of being permitted to make a speech for an Indefinite length of time while the house was considering the agricultural appropri ation bill under the flve-tntnute rule. Mr. Pollard had something to say and he forced the house, which for the last two days has been exceedingly noisy and al most uncontrollable, to listen to him. Mr. Pollard's contention ws for an additional appropriation of 150.000 to be spent by the bureau of plant Industry In demonstrations, and experiments looking to the elimina tion of parasites thst attack fruit trees as well as rust and Hessian fly. There was not any buneomb about Mr. Pollard's address, and while at. times the house seemed to get awsy from him, he generally had some new thought to advance or some explanation of existing conditions In the Agricultural department to advance thst met with attention. He held to the propo sition that the distribution of ordinary garden seeds ought to 1 discontinued. He stated that out of 13.000 packages of garden seeds sent to constituents he had received but fifteen or eighteen letters In acknowledgment and that there had not been one who had asked him to continue their sending. Mr. Pollard said that In the Mississippi and Missouri valleys there was something like 92,000,000 apple trees which produced last year 82,000.000 bushels of apples, or two-thirds of a bushel to the tree. This light yield was due to parasites, insects and fungi and he said there wae not a single one of the many diseases that are destroying the fruity Interests of the west but about which the Agricultural depart ment has accumulated Information for the destruction of every one of the pests, and that he wanted the farmers to have the benefit of the Information at first hand and that was the reason why he wanted to increase the appropriation. Although Mr. Pollard lost out on his smendment the house later on-Increased the amount appropriated by $78,000, which came as a result of the efforts put forward by Mr. Pollard. No Chance to Repeal Bankruptcy Bill. Senator Millard haa written a letter to the secretary of the Lincoln Credit Men's association, E. G. Evans, stating that on Inquiry that, while there are a number of bills ponding in both the senate and the house for the repeal of the national bank ruptcy law, which the credit men's asso ciation Is fighting, he has serious doubts of-the passage of any of the bills at thts session of congress.

Mr. Dahlman, the successful candidate, gave out this statement after the result was known: "I still stand on and propose to carry out every plank of the plutform which I announced at the beginning of this cam paign. I desire to thank my friends and also the republicans for the loyal sup port they have given me and to whom belongs the victory. This victory Is In no sense a political victory, but a triumph against machine rule." When called up at his home, where he had gone as soon as the result of the election was made known, E. A. Benson, the defeated candidate, said: "I could have had the office If I had been willing to py the price. "If the people are content with the re sult of the election yesterday, I am. "I have no apologies to make to friends or foe for anything I have said or done during the course of this campaign. "I have made up my mind never to be a candidate for office again, but I believe some day the principles which I advocated at this election will prevail. "The most humiliating thing to me was to know it was possible to conduct an election In Omaha In the way It was In the Third ward." W. C. Bullaid, chairman of the demo cratic city central committee, said: "We msde our fight on the strength of our platform and good, clean candidate. The people have expressed an overwhelming confidence . In'. t.i democratic candidates carrying out their ' pledges. It was a sweeping victory for law and order. The people have spoken, and the will of the majority should rule." A. W. Jcffeiis, chairman of the repub lican city central committee, said: "The other fellow get the most votes.' and that was all there was to tt. Mr. Benson's vote In the upper wards was just as disappointing as It was In the lower wards. We did not get as many votes In the upper wards as we expected nor In the lower wards, either." The story of how James C. Oahlman re ceived the news of his election Is a pretty one. After the polls closed at S o'clock Mr. Dahlman went to the Henshaw cafe with his two daughters, who are young women. "I promised the girls a dinner whether I won or lost," said he,- "and thought this wss just as good a time as any." The three were calmly proceeding with the feast When Councilman Dave O'Brien rushed Into the cafe. . . "Jim, you are elected," he shouted. "Hooray!" ' ' "Sure?" Inquired the msyor-elect, with a smile and not a tremble of an eyelash. Just then Ie Herdman appeared bear ing the Information that Dahlman's ma jority was close to 1,000. "That looks good enough to be true," said Dahlman, and received the congratu lations of the group at' his table. Any doubts that might have existed were dispelled by the arrival of Tom O'Brien, who waved a copy of The Bee extra giving the result on. the head of the ticket and re turns to substantiate. A hlllarloua crowd stood In front of the democratic headquarters In the Merchants hotel and called for J. C. Dahlman until he appeared and made a short speech. The crowds staid on the streets for some time after the result had been known by means of the extras which were out giving tha full returns. JUROR CAPTURES PRISONER Maa Seateaeed for Fergerr la 8.

WHOLE CITY TICKET GOES THE SAME WAY aassmmw Republicans Defeated Eieht Down the Line bj Bit: Majorities. BINGHAM AND ZIMMAN FOR CITY COUNCIL Becoud and Third Wards Betnrn Bepublican Members to Body, ELECTION LIVELY BUT' RATHER QUIE "erne Troable la Three Preelaeta ot Third Ward, bat Rest af City tndlstarhed While Halln. lac la Progress! as;. For the first lime In sixteen yeara Ohahe has elected a democratic mayor. The weather was beautiful, In fset, whst might be termed republican weather, hut It was a Dahlman day and when the votes were counted the drmocratlo csndtdste for mayor had been elected br 2.SO0. The bal loting began enrly, fast and furious and never cessed until the poll" closed at S o'clork. The use of the voting machines again proved troublesome to people who wanted to scratch tlt.kets, but expidltlous in the counting. The first returns came In over the tele phone from the fourth prlclnct of the Sixth ward at exactly four minutes pa o'clock and within an hour every me of of the fifty-four precincts of the city had reported and the figures were In wsy of tabulation. At first It looked as If Dahl man, with his big plurality, had pulled through with him all of his associates on the democratic ticket, hut flnal footings show that two of the republican nominees had won out, namely, Bingham and Zlm man for councllmen from the Second and Third wards, respectively. The worst beaten man on the ticket Is John H. Web ster, seeking election s building inspector on the republlcsn ticket, who fell behind Wlthnell, his democratic opponent, by over 4,200 votes. The range of the voting Is seen from this tremdous demorcatlc' plar allty, to Zlmman's republican plurality of more than 1,000. Xot Coadaed to Aay Ward. The democratic cleanup is not confined to any one ward or to any one section of the city. The naturally democratic wards In the lower end of town piled up huge ma jorities for Dahlman and . his democratic running mates, hut .the republican strong holds on the hill also fell down lamentably. The Ninth ward, which waa counted on by the republican managers to give to Benson not less than 400 over Dahlman, fell down down to less than half of that and the Eleventh ward. In which Mr. Benson re sides, figured for another 400, turned up with only 1B0 to the good for the republi cans. Dahlman carried the Flrst, Second, Third, , Fifth, Eights and Tenth wards, the Third ward leading the vstj f ith plur-' sllty of l.ino. the Second end Tenth wards vlelng with each, other for second place, with 800 apiece.' Benson's biggest plur ality came In the Twelfth ward, 222, while the Fourth ward, once a banner republican ward, went for Beson by only twelve plur ality. The democratic tidal wave, there fore, must have been coterminous with the city. , ' . Result la Indicated Early. It was aeen early In the day how the vote was going and Dahlman kept rising as Benson stock went do-vn. Later In the afternoon the republican managers took hope that they might save the bulk of the ticket if the questionable vote In the Third ward could be excluded and began laying the foundation for a conteet to throw out the returns from certain precincts, where it was alleged the election laws hsd been flrgrantly violated. Deputy County Attor ney Shotwell declared he had evidence enough to invalidate the vote In the second and third precincts In the Third wsrd on the ground of Interference of election officers with the voters, but the talk of contest died out In the evening after the fact waa disclosed that Dahlman would be elected without the Third ward at all.
