A GREAT SALARY
PAID TO THE PRESIDENT OF
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Charles VI. Hays Gets q Higher SALARY
Than President MckIniey-He Writes
Short Epistles That stir the Hearts of
His subordinate.-How He Astonished
the Grand Trunk People by American
Methods.

Only twelve years ago Mr.. Charles
NJ. Hays, the new president of the
Southern Pacific railroad held a clcr-
ical position. Now he receives the high
est salary paid TO any railroad presi-
dent in Amcrica-prohably in the
world. This is said to he $4,000. or
$1,000 more than is paid TO the l'reSi-
dent of the United States. according to
the Saturday Evening Post. The pecu-
liarity of Mr.. Hays mental equipment
which enables him 10 command this
splendid income Is well illustrated by Il
certain bunch Of old letters Tcposing in
the pigeonhOlc of the desk of an Off
cial who was II subordinate of Mr.
Hays when the latter WAS general
manager OF the Wabash road. Some
Of these epistles are only two or three
lines in length. but not one Of them is
too short 10 contain Il sentence of ofl-
clal cOmmendatiOn of the kind calcu-
lated to stir the heart of the most in
different subordinate. The ability to
beStow approval with the same discern
mcnt and prOmptnoss with which he
metes out criticism is held To be the
secret of his phenomenal success.
His complete demonstration of re-
makahle abilities for harm0niZing con-
hlciiug interests and attracting large
popular and loyal following was made
as vice president and general manager
of the Grand Trunk line. Here he en-
countercd dcep-seated prejudice

tors the road was stanchly British.

Hays was for Il force of stenographers.
and typewrilers, and an equipment of
machines for the entire system. But
the most revolutionary practice which
he carried into effect on the biz Ca
madam road was the open door pol
icy. Not only did Mr. Hays keep his
own door open To all who had legiti-
mate and important business. but he
also saw to it that the doors of the

Hor,e.hoe. for Luck.

The custom OF keeping horseshoes
for luck is said TO have originated at
the time when in every home was the
picture Of the patron saint About the
head OF the saint was the distinguished
halo. which was frequently made. of
metal, sometimes the shape of a horse
shoe. When anythin. happened to the
picture the halo was kept and re-
manned fastened to the door, in order
that the saints influence might still
prevail. AS tile bit of metal was the
most substantial part of the picture it
soon became the custom 10 make 4
charm of this part only. and the horse
shoe followed logically as Il prevention
against evil. --

\ Use for the Colonies

The fact that so many heireSSes are
infatuated with titled foreigners and
marry them to secure social distinc-
ton abroad suggests n new use that
could be made of our colonies.
According to our constitution titles
of nobility are not to be tolerated in
this country and the possessOrs of titles
must renounce them upon becoming
American citizens. If. in the pending
cases, the court holds that the consti-
tuition does not extend to Porto Rico
and the Philippines, the President
might justify the creation of a few
lords, dukes and princes in our new
possessions for the benefit of ambi.
tous girls. 1t would keep the money
under the American flag and help the
balance of trade.-Fhe Commoner.

PHILIPPINE DECISION
CAME As SURPRISE

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Supreme
Courts decision on the relation of the
Philippines to the United States came
SO Unexpectedly today, in the press Of
Congressional reorganization, that
opinions as to its effect were not OBJ
tainable. Late tonight the atmosphere
cleared somewhat, and the belief is ex-
pressed by many prominent Republic
cans, including members OF the Ways
and Means Committee, that modifca.
ton of the present plans must be made,
and made soon. Generally the stand.
ing committees are not appointed until
near the holidays. but there Is talk now
Of Speaker Henderson appointing the
Ways and Means Committee within \
week, SO that 1t can go ahead and
frame tariff to At the Philippine stu
alton.
According to the Supreme Court de.
cision the bars are down between the
United States and the archipelago until
Congress acts. This may mean too
much free trade to suit some ideas. and
member Of the old Ways and Means
Committee said tonight that Congress
would without question have to act as
In the case Of Porto Rico, but the mat
ter does not stop there. With q tariff
bill Of any kind introduced there will
be unlimited scope In the Senate for
general tariff discussion. and fears are
expressed by the Republicans that this
may lead to determined effort by the
Democrats to change the general tariff
laws. 1t was the plan up to noon to-
day to meet sporadic demands for ia
riff revision and reduction Of the sur
plus by creating commission to cor
slider all cognate subjects. including
reciprocity schemes, with the idea that
the commission would do lots Of talk
ing and accomplish nothing. But
when the Philippines decision was an.
nounced this plan had to be abandoned.
The chances tonight seem to favor the
opening Of the whole subject.
The Supreme Court decision upon
the Philippines cases today, making
II necessary for the Government to re-
fund the duties paid upon exports to
the Philippines from the United States,
will apply to only such exporters as
paid their tax under protest. The
amount involved is, approximately, ST.

CHINESE HEAD TAX
PRINCE CHING'S PLAN
TO COLLECT INDEMNITY
Assess Chinese Residing in Foreign
Countries - Can't Return to
China Unless They Pay
Lottery Scheme.

Port Townsend, WASH, Dec. L.
Aeordincg to mail advices from the
Orient Chinese officials are resorting
to all kinds Of means to raise money
TO assist in paying the indemnity
agreed on by the Powers. Besides
gigantic lottery scheme. In which moro
than 500. 100000 Is involved, half Of
which will go into the indemnity fund
and half be given away In prizes, and
which scheme has received the sane
ton of the court, It Is now proposed by
Prince Ching to impose head tax on
all Chinese, whether residing within
the limits Of the empire or in foreign
countries. Prince Ching's plan, as sub
mitted to the court, Is to send COM
missioners to all foreign countries to
collect the tax from Chinese residents.
claiming that as they do not become
citizens. Of other countries, they should
assist In paying the Indemnity.
Prince Ching's plan has created con-
siderable dissatisfaction In the south
ern province Of the Chinese empire,
and is liable to result in serious dis.
turbances. II Is claimed that residents
Of the northern provinces were alone
responsible for the Boxer movement.
and that they should be called upon
to bear any expense caused by their ac-
ton. The Chinese Of the southern
provinces were friends of the foreign
ers, and as most OF the merchants In
foreign countries are from the southern
provinces the movement on foot to re-
sist taxation for indemnity IL rapidly
gaining ground, and It Is said that the
Chinese abroad will refuse to pay the
proposed tax.
Prince Ching, according to Chinese
papers, says that II they refuse the
burden will fall on their relatives in
the southern provinces, and that other
oppressive measures will be enforced
against them, and that merchants
abroad refusing to pay the proposed
tax win not be allowed to return to
their mother country and will be class
fled as traitors.
According to Oriental papers brought
by the steamship Glenogle, high on
cial Of the Chinese Government has
memorallzed the throne to publish an
illustrated book showing the sufferings
OF the court sustained during It's mem
orable flight from Picking, and that the
book be circulated throughout China.
