TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
The Southern Pacific Gives Notice of
Its Withdrawal.


CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The Southern Pa
cific Railroad has given notice of its with
drawal from the Western Traffic Associa-
ton. 1t seems that the great corporation
is getting ready to fight its Northern
competitors, who defied it by breaking
away from the TranscontinentaI Associa-
ton. The Western Traffic Association is
now practically dead, and it is believed
in railroad circles that its affairs will be
wound up at the next meeting of the Adj
visory Board on October 18th. The
Transcontinental is also going to pieces
rapidly, and the only association west of
Chicago which is really of any value is
the Western Freight Association. With
out any explanation the Nickel Plate has
put into effect a passenger rate of SD 90
from Chicago to New York, a cut of $3.50.
The Chairman of the Central Traffic AS
ISOLATION is trying to find out what it
means and prevent its Generalization,
but a rate war seems likely.

TRADE PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND.
Not q very Encouraging Outlook
Presented.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-At the annual meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce to-day
Sir Albert Rollit, President, said he was
not able to congratulate the country upon
its trade prospects. Coal, iron and steel
trades are dull. Textile industries are
harassed by the tariff and perplexed by
economic, monetary and labor problems.
Sheffield and other centers complained
of the destruction of old branches of the
business by the tariff. Shipbuilding was
little more than a remembrance The
official returns, Sir Albert added, showed
that there was little likelihood of better
ment in their present conditions. The
volume of England's trade is declining.
A resolution was adopted in favor of
universal free trade between the colonies
and Great Britain.

RIOTOUs LABoRERs.
They Cause Intense Excitement In the
City of Sydney.

S1Cy Oh SYQn6y.
SYDNEY, Sept. 20.-A crowd numbering
5000 persons to-day sent a deputation to
Sir G.. r. Dibbs, Prime Minister and Col
onial Secretary of New South Wales, to
demand the release of the labor agitators,
who were arrested in connection with the
strike at the Broken Hill mine. The
Prime Minister refused to see the deputa-
ton until tomorrow morning.
When the crowd was informed they
were highly incensed, and under the
leadership of the more turbulent mem
bers they rushed to the House of Parlia-
ment and tried to effect an entrance.
They would have been successful had
they not been repulsed by armed police.
The most intense excitement prevails
throughout the city, and the rioters are
continually gaining fresh accessions to
their body from the lawless element.
Many threats of violence are made, and
it was thought highly probable the mob
would attempt to release the prisoners
from the Jail in which they were con-
fined. Orders were issued to hold the
military in readiness for any service they
might be called upon to perform. Late
this evening it looked as though an out
break might be precipitated at any mo-
ment.

Boston and Billy Maber of Australia
fought before the Pastime Athletic Club
tonight for purse of 81 900. Maber was
knocked out in the twenty fifth round.
The contest was the most exciting that
the Pastime Club has yet given, and was
witnessed by large crowd. Jack Demp-
sey was referee, and announced that the
affair would be twenty-round contest.
Smith took the aggressive in the first
round. He swung his right on Maber's
ribs, bringing him to the floor. In the
next five rounds Smith rushed Maber
against the ropes, and got in some good
blows. In the seventh round Smith tried
the pivot blow, bat fell short. In the
eighth round Maber was still on the de-
fensive.
From the ninth to the fourteenth round
but little effective work was done. In
the fourteenth round Maber was knocked
down by highlander on the breast.
de came up groggy, and just as time was
called he was again knocked down.
From the fourteenth to the twenty-first
round Smith continued his rushes and
Maber began to show the effect of Smiths
body blows.
At the close of the twentieth round
Referee Dempsey announced one more
round to be fought. The twenty-first
round found Smith apparently fresh,
while Maber seemed weak.
From the twentyfrst to the twenty
fifth it was apparent that Maber was
whipped, but Smiths attempts to de-
liver Knockout blow were unavailing.
Maber was SO weak that light tap would
send him to the floor.
In the twenty-fifth round Maber went
down four times, once from pivot blow
on the chest. Smith then swung his
right, and landing on Maber's jaw sent
him down and out.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.
One Man Killed and Several Seriously
Injured.


WALLA WALLA (Wash.), Sept. 20
This afternoon threshing- engine on the
farm of Martin Miner, eleven miles east
of this city, exploded, killing one man,
and wounding four others, two seriously.
The dead man was c. Wickersham, the
engineer, who was struck with piece of
the boiler in the head and instantly
killed. Ambrose Rainey, fireman, was
badly scalded on the front part of the
body and face, and had his left leg broken
near the knee. 1t is thought that he will
die. William Eggers was struck with a
piece of the boiler, and had his left arm
fractured, the bone being crushed and
driven out through the flesh, necessitat-
ing amputation. He will probably re-
cover. Two other men were only slightly
injured. The injured men were brought
TO the hospital. There were about twenty
men working near the engine when the
explosion occurred. Rainey, who was
just stocking the furnace, was thrown
over hfty feet Wickersham was not

RoCKAwAY BEACH, Sept. 20. - The
largest confagration that ever occurred
on the Long Island coast destroyed over,
hundred frame buildings here to-day,
and left about 100 acres a mass of ruins
The main portion of this famous old sum-
mer resort was completely wiped out.
The fire broke out about 1925 this
afternoon in the Seaside Museum. A :
high wind carried the flames across Sea-
side avenue. Within five minutes after
the flames broke through the roof of the
museum the fire was roaring on both
sides of the avenue, and, famed by the
wind, began to eat it's way in all direc-
tons. In quick succession the flames
attacked the hotels along the beach and
on both sides of Seaside avenue.
Among the principal buildings burned
were Collins Hotel, Grand Ocean Hotel,
New York Hotel, Peterson & Barry's
Hotel, Meyers Hotel, pavilion and pier,
Columbus Hotel, Reaches Hotel, the an
mex of Wainwright 81 Smiths Hotel and
pavilion, BurchelPs grocery store, II,
Simpsons Hotel, Kruse's Hotel, DR..
Pulls drug store, Peterson's poolroom
and the Globe Hotel, the fire tower,
-
Hotel, and on the beach the Hotel Stuff
CART, Ocean House, Columbia, Schuber's
Hotel, MorrisOn's Hotel, Grand Republic
Hotel, Meissner's Hotel, shooting gallery
and carouSal, Seaman's Hotel, Hotel Al
bemarle and st. James-on-Bou
Besides these buildings, all of large
size, a host of smaller buildings occupied
by drug stores, cigar stores, ice-cream
and candy stores, ShOOting-gallerieS, and
stores OF such class, were destroyed.
With them went -go-rounds, ca
rousals, toboggan slides, and many SINH
lar devices always found at seaside re-
sorts.
In vain the few residents of the beach,
aided by boatmen, battled with the
flames. Their efforts were thrown away.
Aid was summoned, but its arrival made,
little difference. About $50 P. NJ. the
flames, after having practically burned
themselves out for want Of Immediate
material upon which to feed, were
brought under control, but the fire was
still burning brightly at late hour in the
center of the burned district.
How the flames started is unknown.
Mrs. Phillips, employed in the museum,
was the only person known to have lost
her life in the contlagration. a number
of persons received burns and other in
jurieS while lighting the flames.
1t is impossible tonight to even ap-
proximateIy estimate the amount of the
losses. By some they are estimated over
two million dollars, while others do not
believe the total will amount to one-quar-
ter of that amount.
These is a vast undesirable crowd, con-
sIsting principally of ghouls, who are
reaping rich harvest from the miSfor-
tunes of the burned out people.
1t is said the insurance policies will not
more than half cover the losses.

to be against the railroad commission-and
they are against it solidly, too"
In referring to the business outlook in
