AIDING THE 8TR1KER8
SAN FRANCI8CO, Aug. 30.—Dif
ferences between the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce and Mayor
James Rolph, Jr., over police protec
tion for the United Railroads, against
which there has been a strike for
some time, culminated yesterday
when the Chamber of Commerce paid
for newspaper advertisements charg
ing the mayor with failing to protect
life and property. The advertisements
declared that striking street railway
men and their sympathizers has used
violence against so-called strike
breakers and had destroyed cars of
the railway company and that the po
lice had made no serious effort to
prevent such disorders. Mayor Rolph.
the advertisement stated, by his fail
ure to preserve the peace, was siding
with the strikers.
The mayor today declared that law
and order had been and would he
maintained despite the hatred and
bitterness aroused in the community
by the Chamber of Commerce, which,
it was said, wanted to subserve ev
ery interest to the advantage of the
street car company. The police, stat
ed the mayor, would be viligant to
see that neither the strikers nor the
company violated the law.
Validity of Law Questioned
DENVER, Aug. 30.—The validity
of some phases of creating the state
industrial commission will be test
ed as a result of the failure of the
United Mine Workers of America to
appear before the commission yes
terday for a continuation of its in
vestigation of their proposed strike
at the properties of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company.

AMD DESTROY JAFFA j
. .. r .nr.-v. r '
NEW YORK. Aug. 30.—The town
of Jaffa, In Palestine, formerly the
port of Jerusalem, virtually is in
runis, according to information re
ceived from Cairo, Egypt, by the Am
erican committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief. Jaffa was set on fire
by the Turks and burned after many
buildings were dynamited, says the
message received by the committee,
which odds that of the villages and
harilets within twelve miles of Jaffa
nothing remains hut heaps of ruins
and ashes. - <
“From a line extending three miles
north of Jaffa to the Judah moun
tains, not an inhabitant remains nor
a dwelling,” says the message. “All
government records have been taken
to Damascus and Naglus. The people
who were spared from massacre were
exiled to Hebron."
Jaffe formerly had a population es
timated at between 20,000 and 40,
000. It contained several mosques,
churches, and convents, a bazaar, hos
pitals, hotels and fine gardens. It is
connected with Jerusalem by a rail
way line 4 miles long.
MOKE RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY FOR RUSSIANS
PETROGRAD, Aug. 30.—Rapid
progress is being made by the com
mission newly appointed to reform
that part of the penal law of 1902
which deals with violation of the
principle of religious liberty, conver
sion to another religion by violence
of threats and “perversion” to ano
ther religion by fraud or undue in
fluence.
The basis of this law was a distinc
tion, first, between orthodox and non
orthodox Christians, and second, be
tween Christians generally and Mo
hammedans and heathen. Voluntary
conversion from orthodoxy was pun
ishable under certain conditions,
whereas voluntary conversion to or
thodoxy was not punishable. For con
version to orthodoxy by violence or
threat the penalties were mild and, in
practice were never enforced; and
non-Christians virtually were not at
all protected against violent conver
sion.
The law now under consideration
recognizes the complete liberty of all
Christians. To emphasize this prin
ciple, the projected law abolishes the
legal use of the word “heresy” and
replaces the legal term "perversion”
with “conversion.”
The new law will protect citizens
against forcible conversion by impos
ing a penalty of imprisonment not
exceeding three years. The law will
further deal with certain extremist
sectarians such as the Skoptsi and
others, which mutilate themselves
and have even burned one another
alive. For such offences the penalty
is imprisonment in a fortress.
VALDEZ WILL HAVE
KI LL TERM HIGH SCHOOL
Chairman of the School Board W.
A. Dolan states that arrangements
have been made for a full four-year
High School course, and that parties
residing at out of town points desir
ing to take advantage of this oppor
tunity to educate their children
should correspond with the clerk of
the board. The schools started off this
year with 83 pupils, 13 of whom are
In high school grades. An efficient
corps of teachers has been employed
and every effort will be made to
make the schools the best in the ter
ritory.
