RAILRoAp seUABBLE.
Rock Island and Missouri Pacific De-
railing Cars In Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, April 6.-There is quite a
little scramble going on near the G. &
H. salt plants. The difficulty is over a
switch which is claimed by both the
Rock Island and Missouri Pacific rail-
roads. There are two switches running
to the G. & H. plant and the Rock Is
land claims both of them. The Missouri
Pacific claims one and has been using
it for several years. The Rock Island
recently took up a section of the switch
to prevent the Missouri Pacific from
running over it. The track was put in
again by the Missouri Pacific and a
number of cars were left on the track.
Yesterday the Rock Island took up
the track and derailed one of its cars
so that the switch was effectually block
ed and several Missouri Pacific cars
were hemmed in on the siding. The
question is now up to the legal depart
ments of the two roads to settle which
road owns the land where the track is
located. Tt is said that the title to the
lots in that part of town is in bad
tang1e and that it will be a big job 70
figure cut who owns the land.

HEBREW CHARITIES.
Chicago Societies Abandon Balls and
Bazaars as Means of Rails
mo Money!


Chicago April 6-With the end in
view of supporting all their charitable
organiza lions in this city by direct cash
donations, instead of by raising funds
through the means of charity ball and
numerous other entertainments every
year, the Jewish people of Chicago al
ready have pledged annual subscriptions
amounting to more than 800, 600 and it
is expected to increase the total in a
short time to $1500O0 the sum required
each year. Next Thursday evening the
subscribers to the new fund will meet at
Sinai temple to incorporate and adopt
constitution and bylaws.
Some time since the leaders in Jewish
charity movements decided that the best
plan to be pursued was to do away with
the annual charity ball given at the
Charity association, entertainments and
have the charitable institutions of the
city receive their necessary income from
one central governing body, so that
there be no needless expense in man
agement, and that the money donated
for charitable purposes be used for
charitable ends. When the system is
fully established Jewish charitable in
situations are to find their support from
the new organization alone.
The fundamental object Of the society
is to collect and distribute the contribu-
tons of the Jews to their own charities.
1t is not the intention to divide the pro-
ceeds among any or all charitable in
situations, as has been the custom Of
the young mems Hebrew association.

objected especially to the senate provis-

DESERT TIE CAUSE.
Southern Pacific Engineers Testify
That Double Heading" Is
Not DANGEROUS.

Two Southern Pacific engineers were
responsible for the most sensational
testimony at the double header hear
ing in Austin this week Both an
nounced that they did not believe '"dou-
Bile heading" dangerous to life, and said
the practice was advantageous to en-
ployes. They were the first to side with
the railroads among the many employees
examined.
William Ranahan, one of the engi-
neers, testified that in his opinion there
are no dangers in double heading as COM
pared with single headers, and that he
and other men prefer the double header
runs; that they are out on the road less
time relatively than single headers;
never hauled more than thirty loaded
cars with a double header; used auto
matte couplerS and never heard of any
being broken. Took the position that the
strain is not caused so much by the
power ahead, but depends on the weight
behind. He also said that both engi-
neers can apply the air successfully in
an emergency, and that the second en-
CINE can see ahead except for 100 feet,
and that on account of straight shot
smokeStackS of second engineer is not
bothered by cinders OF smoke, and that
the first engineer looks out as carefully
as if there was only one engine on the
train. In his opinion there is an ele-
ment of safety in double heading, be-
cause two engineers would not forget
orders as quick as one. The witness re-
lated how one engine could maui the
train where the other engine IS tenn
porarily disabled. Was aware that the
brakemen had complained, but none of
the other employees.
J. c. Simino, the other engineer, testi-
fed substantially as the preceding wit
ness did. He said that ne prefers dou-
BILE headers because of the speed and
because there is not extra hazard. Is

pathy for the conductors and brake
men thrown out of employment.
Col. L. J: Polk, general manager of the
Santa Fe, recalled the Galveston con-
ference, and said that the employees did
not urge danger against double head
ing, but objected to it on the ground
that it threw men out of employment
and caused trainmen to lose time.

EIGHT Guns Avn ONCE.
Trial of Kearsarge Batteries Proves
Satisfactory.

Newport News, Va, April 6-The new
battieship Kearsarge has returned from
a short trip to sea with the naval in
spection board. Tie test of the ships
turrets proved entirely satisfactory.
When clear of the coastwise steamer
course, the guns of both batteries were
tried each gun being fired twice. The
four guns of the forward turret, two
eight and two thirteens, were fired sim
ultaneously and the four guns of the
aft turret in the same way. This was
the first time in the history of navies
that four guns of that calibre were ever
fired at the same time from one turret.
The structural strength of the turrets
was found to be remarkable, there be-
ing no strain whatever. The supreme
test was the simultaneous discharge Of
the eight guns of the two 2-story tur-
rets. Here again the turrets and the
ship stood the terrible force of the dis
charge without the slightest evidence of
strain. The broadside batteries of five
inch guns also stood their tests.
