NEWMAN IS sANGUINE.
Says New Operators Are All In
cOmnetentS

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 12--J. NJ. New
man, chairman of the Santa Fe griev-
ance committee, arrived here today to
confer with the striking operators. Mr..
Newman is very sanguine about the
ultimate result Of the strike.
L have 5ust received a report from
the Chicago division said Mr., New
man, stating that we have had nu-
merous accessiOns to our ranks, and
that the boys there are jubilant over
the good condition of things.
Repeated messages from trainmen
on the chicago division assure me that
most of the operators are out. Con-
in running their trains, some Of which
are late.
The company claims that all the
places are filed by new men. Some Of
them may be, but when the class of
men filing them is taken into consider
alton, the satisfaction is materially
changed. Most OF the so-caIled opera
tors are students who never saw the
inside Of a railroad Office before, and
they are utterly incompetent to fill the
positions"
Trouble With Amateurs.
This statement of Mr.. Newman seems
to be substantiated by the difficulty at
tending the operations of the new men
here. In the Topeka depot Office three
men ana one woman are at work. None
of these have had experience. The best
one in the number can send fifteen
words per minute, and the others much
less.
The officials have been in the depot
all day with loads of instruction books,
blanks and the like, to make the anna
teur operators acquainted with their
duties Before the strike two ordinary
operators could care for all the bust
ness in the depot Office and have time
to sus-e.
In the general Office here three new
men are working. None of these he =
had experience. Positions in the genera
Office have been very difficult to fill.
even By men who have had years of
experience on the road.
Mr. Newman has been on the road for
two days and has not been at any one
place long enough to receive complete
dispatches from all parts of the sys-
tern. All he has received, however, in
dictate that the strike conditions are de
! cidedly favorable for the operators.
Headquarters Are Established.
Permanent headquarters for the
strikers have been established in To-
peka hotel, where messages can be con-
stantly received from all parts of the
system,
The Headquarters will be maintained
as long as there is any occasion for
them.
The operators here appear to be very

TIDE LAND DECISION.
Judge Jacobs Holds That Statute of
Limitations Applies to Tide Land
So in Certain Caaea.

=" IN Certain Ca0e8.
A decision involving the ownership of
certain tide land in control of the Column
bia & Puget Sound Railroad Company was
rendered yesterday by Judge Jacobs. in
the superior court The land is within
the Maynard donation patent, and between
high and low tide. The old Walla walla
Railroad & Transportation Company built
Its tracks on the land about twenty-five
years ago, and subsequently transferred
its right to the Columbia & Puget Sound
Railroad Company. Robert Schram doubt
ed the rightfnl occupancy Of the land by
the railroad company, and began suit
against Maynard and his grantees. The
case involved the application Of the statute
of limitations, the plaintiff claiming the
statute did not become operative until
Washington was admitted as state. The
court went into the history OF public land
grants to the state. and delivered an ex-
haustive opinion.
Judge Jacobs decided that the statute Of
limitations did apply, and that any person
or corporation seeking to establish an adj
verse right on the premises within the
meander line would be entitled to the pro-
lection of. the statute from the commence
ment of his adverse claim, and that the
necessary transfers, originating with the
donee. would not defeat the running OF the
statute.
The decision in that case IL said to at

The County Teachers Association met
yesterday afternoon in the library room
of the superior court. There was fair
attendance and an interesting discussion
OF several school subjects
The discussion Of the topic, 1.-THE Rela-
ton Of the Village Principal to His. Com

OF the South Seattle school Prof. st.
John, Of the state university, addressed
the association on Moral Instruction" in
the school. His idea was that this should
be accomplished by indirection. Courses
OF Studies for Common Schools was a
subject introduced by State Superinten-
dent Browne. and discussed by County
Superintendent Meredith. They favored
that side Of the subject which appeals to
human interest rather than to the formali-
ties. Some OF the discussion was along the
line of trying to relieve the overwhelmed
course OF study for the pupils and Of the
work Of the teachers as we'll.

agreement having been violated, accord

attempted to do so they were raided by

The question of whether or not gambling
in Seattle Is closed is one the gamblers
are asking each other. In many quarters
last night it was claimed that the matter
would be adjudicated before the cases
against the gamblers arrested yesterday
are called for trial, while others claim that
the fight has become so hot that gambling
must close for an indefinite period.

BUILDING JETTIES
AT CHRISTIANA'S MOUTH.

AS the result of recent appropria-
tions made by the United States gov
ernment for the improvement Of the
Christiana river and Wilmington har-
Dor, much work has been done that is
beneficial to the industries Of the city.
At present the much needed jetty
work is being done and is well under
way. Under the supervision of General
w. f. Smith, of the United States
Engineering Department, a 500 foot
jetty has been built at the intersection
Of the Brandywine and Christiana
rivers, and work has been begun on the
larger jetty at the mouth OF the Chris
tlana river. This jetty when finished,
will be / 500 feet in length, and will ex-
tend well out into the Delaware river.
II is being made of two rows Of heavy
piling about ten feet apart and filled
in with big stones. 1t is being built
ON the south side of the mouth of the
river and will prevent the sweep of the
Delaware river from forming a shoal
in the mouth of the smaller river.
The old jetty on the north side of the
Christianas mouth is being extended
about three hundred feet farther into
the Delaware, and is being put in good
repair. This jetty, including the ex-
tension, is now fully 1000 feet long. 1t
will be several months, probably, be-
fore the work at the rivers mouth will
be finished but it does not interfere
with navigation.
