. CARNEGIE A JUROR.
His Name is Registered in the Ac-
cepted List.

New York, NOv.1s.-Andrew Carnegie,
for whom a warrant was recently issued
on the charge of failure to respond to a
jury notice, has avoided arrest by ap-
pearing before Special Commissioner of
Jurors Gray and submitting to the US
ual examination, after offering to the
commissioner an apology for the failure
to regard the summons.
Mr. Carnegie explained that he had
no wish to evade any of the duties of a
citizen, but at the time the subpoena
was served on him he had just returned
from Europe and was on the point of
departing for Pittsburg where he had
engaged to deliver several lectures.
Mr.. Carnegie was asked whether he
was in favor of capital punishment. to
which he replied that he was not in IA
vOr of it but as it was the law of the
land his opinion would not influence him
in arriving at a, verdict in a capital
case.
At the close of the examination the
commissioner declared Mr.. Carnegie to
be acceptable as a juror and his name
was registered on the jury list. The
order of arrest was then vacated.

you can set it down that socialism has
come to stay. Democrats will again fall
back on Jackson and Jefferson, which is
stated the least governed the better,
which expression logically means that no
government anarchy is best, and the Re

cause of private capitalism, which ulti-

Thus we have the three ideas, which
are sociacracy, or rule of the people: old

which is another name for anarchy, and
RepubHcanism, which has resolved itself
into a monarchy of capitalism.
I am glad to take my place in this
three-cornered fight for pure socialism as
against anarchy and monarchy. The Co.

shows that capitalism has thrown them
into fits. and I regret that they did not

LODGE FUNNY BUSINESS.
Causes Paralysis in a Candidate and
Death is Likely to Follow.

Moline, Ill, Nov. 1S-Dr. William P.
Sensibaugh, a dentist of Port Byron,
just east of this city, is in a serious
condition as a result of pranks played
upon him while being initiated in a fra
ternaI insurance lodge in that village.
During the initiatOry ceremonies he
was blindfOlded and given several slight
shocks from a live wire The bandage
over his eyes having become lOOSened
he sought to Outwit those who were
having fun at his expense by locating
the wire and attempting to avoid it.
One of the initiating team, seeing the
candidate was about to evade the wire,
gave him a little shove, which unfortu-
nately proved sufficient to throw him off
his balance and he fell hands down up
on the battery itself, received a shock
which rendered him unconscious
After working over him for two hours
and finally reViving him it was discov-
cred that his right arm hung limp and
loose and in this condition it has re-
manned ever since.
A week ago the doctor was stricken
with an affection of the pneumogastric
nerve. Since then he has been kept up
mainly through electrical treatment. one
of the attending physicians says that
paralysis of the nerves is threatened in
which event the sufferer cannot live

SANTA FE COAST LINE.
Will Not Enter Frisco for a Year Yet,
Says C. HI. Higginson.

Mr. c. NJ. Higginson. assistant to the
president of the Santa Fe, who has been in
this city for the past two days, says that
it will probably be this time next year be-
fore the Santa Fe company will be run
ming trains over its own road into San
Francisco. 1t will take until that time to
complete that portion of the Bakersfield
road at present indicated only on charts.
After the formal transfer of the Bakers
field road to the Santa Fe it will be oper-
ated as local railway, with a separate
set of officials, and its acquisition will add
another line to those now included in the
Santa Ee system. If satisfactory arrange
ments can be made with the Southern Pa
cific management, the MOjave division of
that road will be used in connecting the
Santa Fe with the Bakersfield road, but
if such an arrangement cannot be made
the Santa Fe will build the IS miles of
track necessary.

ANARCHY PORTO RICO.
Lawless Element Working It's VIII
Unmolested.

Washington, Nov 1s-The cabinet ses-
sion today was devoted to large extent
to consideration of complaints that have
reached the war department alleging that
a state of PRACTICAL anarchy prevails in
Porto Rico. These complaints asserted
that the lawless elements in Porto Rico
are committing .depredations of the gravest
character and that the seriousness of the
situation is increased by reason of the fact
that United States troops stationed in the
island have likewise been guilty of gross
misconduct. The cabinet took cognizance
of the. reports and on adjournment Secre-
dent, cabled General Brooke inquiring as
to the accuracy of the complaints.
During the meeting it was learned that
a long dispatch from the American peace
commissioners at Paris was in process Of
translation at the state department. 1t
is gathered from the few paragraphs so
far deciphered that the dispatch relates
entirely to the presentation of the Spanish
case made on Wednesday, last and con-
tains neither new nor sensational facts
