NORTHERN LUMBERMEN
ARE IN SORE STRAITS
Loss Of Thousands of
Dollars.

TACOMA, Dec. 15.-The lumbermen of
this State are making another determined
effort to secure from the Northern trans
continental roads cars enough to meet the
normal Eastern demand for fir lumber and
heavy timbers. All the big mills and
many small ones have been making loud
complaints that their business is beng
seriously interfered with by the diversion
Of lumber cars for grain carrying.
The railroad committee of the Pacific
Coast Lumber Manufa cturers' Association
met here last night and decided to make
a vigorous appeal for more cars without
further delay. The members of the COM
mittee state that orders amounting to
$3.50, 900 to $500, coo have been lost by the
car shortage. 1t has been especially hard
to get fiat cars for hauling high grade
timber. The lumbermen will also seek 10
ship more lumber by steamers around
Cape Horn to Atlantic ports.

Deepens.
Search for the Body of the
Missing Man Is Still
Fruitless.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

REDWOOD CITY, Dec. I5.-Coroner
Grove took the body of Louie DecrouiX,
the young man who was found dead in a
boat at Millbrae on Friday, to San Fran
cisco to-day. Last night the body was
Identified by two brothers Of the deceased.
They state that there is another brother
still missing and fear that he has met the
same fate. In speaking about the mat
ter this morning August DecrouiX said:
My two young brothers, Louie and
Freddie, and my sister resided with my
father and mother at Bay View, at what
is known as ButchertOwn, in San Fran
cisco. Louie was % years old and Fred
die was IS They had been engaged in
digging CLANS IN the creeks about Red
wood, Belmont, San MateO and Nillbrac
for the last six or seven years. They
would go out and sometimes be gone fer
a week at time, though generally it was
only for day two.
"A week ago Friday they started out in
their sailbOat. and with them was a man
whose name i DO not know. On the next
Thursday my folks saw this man. who
had returned the previous day. AS the
boys did not come home with him they
began 70 Worry. The man acted very
strangely. When he was asked where the
boys were he appeared confused AMI
nervous. He told my father and mother
that ne returned Wednesday morning and
had left the boys in the creek. Later he
told my sister that he returned Wednes-
Gay night and left them in another place
"On saturday morning l started out in
a gasoline launch with six other men to
look for the boys. This man started out
Friday night for the same purpose. We
went UP all the creeks but could not find
any trace of the boys, nor did we see any
thing Of this man. When we returned
yesterday afternoon the man was not

It is thought here that the body of the
missing man will be discovered in a day
or two and that developments may show
that a double crime has been committed
Theme are bruises upon the body. of the
dead man, but they may have been in
fiicted after death. One peculiar thing
about the matter is that the mast and

SEES COLLIER
NEAR FLATTERY
Steamship Captain Tells
About the Lost Mat
teawan.
Centenniaps Master Thinks
Disaster Occurred on
the Reef
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

SEATTLE, Dec. bit is now believed
by local mariners that the steam collier
MatteaWan was lost on the Flattery
rocks Captain c. G. Conrad in the
steamship Centennial was followed by the
collier around that cape during the Big
storm early in the month, and he states
that this is his belief. He bases the opin-
ion in part on the fact that the Umatilla
reef nghtship, which is regularly sta
toned off these rocks, had broken loose
from her moorings and was not on her
usual spot to guide vessels away from the
dangerous place
The Centennial on the afternoon of De-
cember 4 passed around Cape Flattery.
The MatteaWan was at the time scarcely
a mile away. The night before the Cen
tennial put to sea was wild one. SO
bad was the weather that when Captain
Conrad reached Port Angeles he fetche 1
harbOr and remained over night. The
next night he started again for the Pa
cific.
During the afternoon of that day ne
met the lightship, which had broken from
her moorings. She coming up the
straits and was to all appearances putting
Tor shelter in the Port Angeles harDo-.
Late that afternoon the Ceate IN a roun l.
ed Flattery. Sc close behind her that the
smoke from her funnel could be seen
steamed the Matteawan.
Until the Centennial was midway be-
tween Cape Flattery and Flattery rocks
the Matteawan remained the same dis
tance in her wake. At that time dark
from the Matteawan's smoke was all that
could be seen. That vanished about 8
o'clock in the evening. Until midnight
the storm continued
During the early hours cf the morning
of the 5th the wind abated and the seas
commenced TO grow more regular. From
these facts Captain Conradi is of the
opinion that the big collier was lost be-
tween and II o'clock on the night of
December 4, and that in all likelihood she
went ashore and pounded to pieces on the
Umatilla reef or Flattery rocks, by both
of which names the reef is known.

- AUSALITO, Dec 15.-The mystery
that enshrouds the attempt made
at an early hour yesterday morn
~ ing to accomplish the assassina-
ton of Adolph Sylvia by means of
an Internal machine remains as impene-
trable as it was at the time it first came
to the knowledge of the officers OF the
law.
The vigorous efforts made by the
authorities to-day to discover a trace of
the .would-be assassin or to assign mo
tive for his fiendish action have alike
proved fruitless Conjecture treads the
heel of conjecture, but to no satisfactory
conclusion. The political unpopularity OF
the intended victim and his recent centro-
versy with the poolroom men furIisp .iia- III,
terial for surmise, and 1t is generally
agreed that on these may rest. the reasoQ
for the crime.
Sylvia Sorely Puzzled.
But sylvia declares that his life had not
openly been threatened, and his friends
say that even granting the justice OF tHe
severest criticism to which he has been
subjected no sufficient cause could have
existed to blow him up in the mlddie Oh
the night by the use OF dynamite
An examination of the grounds near the
Sylvia house revealed the fact that the IN
strument designed for the destruction or
the occupants had in it some mechamcaI
contrivance Scattered about 3o9 t1ed the yabe abe
force Of the projectile, was found a great
number of fragments, evidently parts OF u
small machine. Among them were por-
tions of screws, bits of wire, vestiges OF
steel springs and a section of metal plate:
The officers also discovered hundreds OF
small pieces of a gunny sack, which had
undoubtedly contained the deadly missile.
The sack had been rent into shreds by
the explosion, and nearly all Of the frag-
ments are partially burned. The purpose
of the assassin in enveloping his deStruc-
tive device in a sack is not clearly UNDER
stood.
Evidence of Footprints.
From footprints found in vacant lot
evidence was gathered that the miscreanr
stood about thirty-five feet away from the
house when he hurled the explosive. The
night was very dark and it Is presumed
that he could not see the tree which IN
terrupted the line between his position
and the window of Sylva'S room. In any
event, it was the tree that probably saved
the life of Sylvia. The terrific explosion
converted it into a heap of matchwood.
A few of the windows were broken, but
the residence suffered no serious damage.

and have the culprit sent to the peniten-
tiary. Meanwhile the greatest precau-
tions are being taken against a repeu-
tion of the crime. The people of the town
are greatly agitated over the sensational
affair and are extremely anxious that the
person or persons concerned in the at
tempt at assassination should speedily be
arrested and visited with the severest
penalty the law provides.

USES A SIMPLE SIGNAL.
q have been asked why signal was
sent and not a message. Scientific men
will readily understand the reason. The
signal is much more satisfactory for ex-
perimental purposes. The letter s.
consists simply of three dots and makes
an admirable signal.
HOur receiving instruments are very
sensitive and had to be readiusted con-
tinually. Under the circumstances,
messages would have been almost unin-
telligible, as portions would necessarily
be omitted.
ct must be remembered also that my
kite was flying about in all directions.
The signal was received only when the
kite was at a great height NV opinion
is, however. that a station here similar
to that at The Lizard. on the Cornwall
coast, with special machinery and a
mast 200 feet high, will be quite suffi-
cient to make powerful communication
across the Atlantic.
Another question asked is why l did
not connect with the Cape Cod station.
The answer is simple: This station is
not yet ready, and, beside. l preferred
making tests over a longer distance.
Il don't expect to obtain any further
great results from the kite tests and
must wait till a mast is erected. l be-
lieve that we would have done better
with balloon than with a kite. but un-
fortunately the wind on the hill blows
too heavy for balloon experiments.
Il am aware that the station here can
not be of service for commercial and
other purposes while the Anglo-Ameri-
can telegraph companies monopolies
exist in this island, but their charter will
expire in a little more than two years.
and in the meanwhile it will take us
some time to arrange our plans and
make the necessary preparations.
Il intend tomorrow to visit Cape
Spear in company with the Governor
and examine that site, returning again
in the evening"
In conclusion Mr.. Marconi said:
Il can quite understand that it is diff
cult to believe that England has COM
munication direct with Newfoundland
and can well imagine the excitement it
creates in cable circles. All l can say
is that the news is true and events will
prove my words

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-05-10

THE pensioning of railroad employees at the
end of long terms of service is growing in pop
ularity in this country, and the plan recently
adopted by the Pennsylvania railroad seems to
be successful and satisfactory. A great deal
has been done in this direction abroad, espec-
tally by the great railroads. of France. There,
they have most elaborate system OF pensions
and general assistance. 1t is probably of too
paternal character to be popular with railroad
employees in this country, but would, neverthe-
less, be we'll worth the investigation of those
who are interes ed in the natter.-Railway Age.
Is there anything odd about the fact that
anything which tends to better the condition of
employees is usually denomnated by the organs
of the employers as too paternal to be popular
with the employees? IT. for instance, the
French system of pensions is successful there,
why should it not prove the same here? As
we have said before, such movements are en-
couraging to Socialists, who see in them pro-
gress toward better economic condition.
