SUED FOR $4,000.
A. III. Starr Asks That Sum for In
juries Received.

Albert H. Starr, by his attorney,
Henry Starr has commenced an action
against Silas Carle, L. Kreuzberger
and Nicholas Harvie to recover dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 and costs.
The action is based on injuries re-
ceived last January by Starr, while en-
gagged as a brieklayer on the Ruhstal
Ter building, at Twelfth and Ell streets,
which was undergoing repairs. At that
time a wall fell on Starr and other
workmen, and Starr suffered a fracture
of the bones of his right leg, a broken
rib and other injuries.
In his complaint Starr alleges that
he was receiving 50 per day for his
labor; that the accident has incapaci-
tated him from pursuing his trade;
that the accident was caused by the
carelessness and neglect of the defend
ants, who We're the contractors for the
work, and that the plaintiff was in no
way to blame for the wall falling.

blaeklisted Directors of art galleries
and museums, and literary and art col
lectors and librarians are in dismay
over such prospect, for it is believed
that the proposed bill will become a law.
The list, so far as news of it has leaked
out, includes hundreds of famous works
of art, and the products of some Of the
best known authors of France. 1t Is
proposed to punish the giving or lend
ing of these works. or their exposure to
the public by both fine and imprison-
nent This is the outgrowth of the
purity movement, at the head of which
is NJ. Beran@er. Can it be that the
French legislators are at last resolved
to apply the corrective of law to the IL
cense that has scandalized French art
and literature? That there is field
fer such a movement cannot be denied
and that France must do something to
correct certain fragrant characteristics
OF her art and her literature, if she is to
rank among the first, is the conviction
of some of the best minds of other ma
items. But if the reform is to extend
ID radicalism and sweeping condenna-
ton of classic art, there will be revolt
that will be irresistible and nothing will
be done in any direction. The artistic
side of the French demands perfect
freedom from censorship of any kind,
on the claim that taste will correct art,
and refinement prevent corruption. But
to this it is replied that taste is matter
of education. that culture does not Of
necessity mean refinement, and that if it
does the masses are not cultured and
their tastes are easily corrupted Hence,
it is held, something should be done to
prevent a condition of the public taste
that will find expression and activity in
directions dangerous to the social or
ganization and the morals of the State.
Very much the same lines of argument
on either side are pursued concerning
French literature. 1t promises to .pe
pretty fight all around. The hope is that
the purists will not become fanatical
radicals, and that the free license peo-
pie will be convinced of the necessity for
some degree of regulation, and for mod
Grafton of the liberty that runs to gross
ness

of the Riverside Fruit Exchange to the
c. r. T. Company, strongly commend
ing the above mentioned transfer of
oranges and stating after their exper-
ience of four years. during which time
this exchange had shipped hundreds OF
cars of oranges. never had they used a
car service that was so satisfactory;
that with this record of 463 cars trans
ferred at FL Paso every car shipped
had been reported as arriving at des-
tination in perfect condition.
From this section, pears and other
hardy fruits can be shipped under this
new system with absolute safety. For
such tender fruits as require refrigera-
ton from California loading points to
the East, the c. F. T. Company will
furnish to those who patroniZe the new
system, its old reliable refrigerator ser
vice at very large reduction from the
present tariffs.
That growers generally will hail with
delight the above mentioned reduced
rates goes without saying
Growers will not be required to con-
tract for any number of carloads, but
can please themselves. In order to
make the transfer at Ogden quickly
number of experienced car leaders will
be sent from here and in order that
growers may know that the transfer at
Ogden will be well and quickly made.
patrons of the above new service will
be requested to pick out their own men
and the above company will pay the
salaries. Nothing fairer could be asked.
? 1t now remains for growers to show
their appreciation of this safe but in
expensive service and that they will be
glad of this new competition, which re-
duces refrigeration charges to absolute
cost, and will show their appreciation

REVOLUTION IN RATES.
Entirely New Method OF Trans
norting California Fruit.

Mr. Ouigley of the California Fruit
TRANSPORTATION Company. yesterday re-
eeiyed. a telegram from Chicago TO Ell
feet that E. r HutchinS, Vlce-Presl-
dent and VIM. H. Hubbard, IreaSur-
er. of the company, had purchaser
from Messrs. Thomas their entire hold-
ings of stock in the above corporation.
In order to properly celebrate this long
desired event. the reorganized COM
pany will. on July 1st, inaugurate
new method of transporting deciduous
fruit from this section and at such
greatly reduced rates from present
refrigerator carline tariffs as should
make this pioneer line most popular
with fruit growers. They propose to
use the heavily insulated fruit cars be-
longing to the Southern Pacific Com
pany from all loading points in Callfor-
MIA, using these cars as far as ogden.
At Ogden the thoroughly ventilated
fruit from which the gases have es-
capped will be rapidly transferred to {.
F. T. refrigerator cars (not being
trucked, but being carefully carried by
hand into the refrigerator cars). which
will have been previously iced, and up
on completion of the rapid transfer, the
refrigerator ear will be quickly closed
and placed again in the same fast
schedule train and without any delay
at Ogden on account of the transfer.
The rate to be charged from Cali
fornia points to Chicago and st. Louis
and all points west of Chicago and st.
Louis is S25 (present rate is 500 and
to all points east of Chicago and st.
Louis $50 (present rate is sl4Oo. The
above prices include use of the cars.
cost of transfer at Ogden. and icing
from Ogden to destination.
The C. f. T. Company has transferred
hundreds of cars of fruit in Florida,
the transfer in that State being nee
essary by reason of the change from
narrow to broad gauge, railroads; and
during the Southern California orange
season. Just closed, the G. f. T. Com
pany at Ell Paso transferred hundreds
of cars Of oranges from Southern Pa
eific ventilated cars to its own c.. f. t.
cars, all of which is evidence of the
fact that the above method of trans
portation is entirely safe and practi-

and forehanded men. They keep track

pha Bey, Turkish Minister at Washing

was informed by his Government that
it felt that the United States had a
greater blot to its discredit in the Ur-
baala lynching incident, and in the two
score of unlawful executions which take
place in the United States yearly. In
Turkey, he said, prisoners under SEN

les strung up on the public squares.
The officers of the law in Turkey have
no uaobs to contend with in the dis

may have quite as sufficient reason.

The New York Times" remarks that
there is evidence that the victory OF Tuf-
key over Greece has given a remarkable
impulse to Mohammedism wherever that
religion has a following. That is un-
doubtedly true. The fatalism of the
Mohammedan requires him to ascribe
the success of the Sultan, the secular
head of the church, to the power of the
religion of the Prophet. Mohammedan
zeal and fanaticism certainly is quick
ened by such triumphs as Turkey has
achieved of late. and that fact accounts
for very much of the boldness and cour-
age with which the sick man of Eu-
rope has faced the concerted Powers.
Knolles, the historian, in the time of
Elizabeth feared that the Turks might
overrun Western Europe. 1t is certainly
true that the tradition in Mohammedan
countries of a time when Islamism
shall conquer the world remains and is
a powerful influence, and that it is
greatly strengthened by such victory
as the leader of the faithful has
achieved over the Christian state of
Greece. Our contemporary is impressed
with the thought that this may serve to
account in large part for the uprising
against the English in Northern India
and for the insurrection against the
French in Algiers. The news that comes
to the Mussulman comes by travel from
Mosque to Mosque, and not by news
Papers. These Mosques ii a remark
able way receive and disseminate news
of the successes and failures of Moham-
medans, and very little else is promul-
gated by the priests. This may account
for the statement that the Imams of
Thessaly are reading the Koran in their
mosques to-day with drawn cimeters in
their hands, as indicative of the belief
that a new holy war will be proclaimed
The world outside of the influence of Is
lamism smiles at these manifestations,
but really while there is no fear that
civilization will go backward or that
Orientalism will ever again prevail
against OccidentalSm, the raising or the
green flag and the cry of God and the
sword Of the Prophet would be ocea-
sion for the entertainment of gravest
APPREHENSION. 1t would mean the call OF
250,000000 of people to arms having a
common purpose, moved by a common
fanaticism and inspired TO a degree of
courage that with fatalistic impetus
would push them forward regardless OF
Eloss of life, no matter how great. Such
a war would be terrible, almost beyond
conjecture, and would put Occidental
civilization to the test Of it's best powers.

REDUCTION ALL ALONG LINE.
Treasurers and Ovsrseers VIII BE Includ-
ed in Fall River Cut Down.

Fall River, Mass, December 1S.-It was
| learned that the manufacturers commit
tee, which is in charge of the pending re-
duotion of the wages Of mall operatives,
is making progress towards the solution
OF the problem. The committee will re-
commend that the salaries of the treasslr-
ers be reduced in the same proportion as
the wages of the employees, and each
member OF the committee agreed to bring
about this agreement in the administra-
native cost in his own mill. The com
mittee also decided that all overeers and
others not usually included in cut
downs, should be included.
The price for weaving a cut of print
cloth will be reduced from lS to 16 cents
and IN departments where the least pay
is received, the full cut of II per cent
will be made. The committee agreed that
cut or ii per cent was as much as the
operatives could bear in view of the cur
taiiment of the past year Notice of the
reauctlon Will be posted in the mills to-
morrow or on Wednesday, but the details
OF the new schedule will not be given out
until day or two later.
The schedule will probably be finished
in q few days aud it Is probable that
IA aHh "a eAiO lHOCUlIS AFTERNOON
will be devoted to figuring it out.
Ii the operatives ask for conference,
the committee will recommend that it
be granted, but an address, as was talked
of at first will not be prepared unless
something new should develope to call
for it. The committee is unanimous IN
including everybody employed in the
mills in the reduction, and also opposing
strike in everyway possible There
were differences of opinion among the
mem bers at Satu rday's meeting, but
through 1T all perfect harmony prevailed
1t is known that some of the manu-
facturers voted for the cut-down in the
hope that it would provoke a strike, but
there is strong opposition to this in the
committee and every effort will be made
by the committee to prevent such oul-
Inination Of affairs. II the mills should
be closed, competitors would be given
great advantage and the gain would
be wholly theirs. The committee wants
the manufacturers to make every effort
to put the matter in true light to
tneir operatives, although no formal act
ion was taken on this. They will work
to this end as individuals.
