before they had any printed books. He
had written out with quill pen an en-
tire arithmetic. and he was a fine pen
man, too, and made his headings with
great flourishes and an occasional Illus
tration or drawing. 1t WAS used by
Coughlin when teaching school in Ches-
terfield, H. H., and is dated June ~,

diary by the same man when he was a
soldier in the American armies lt runs
thru 1915, and contains many references
to the war. On one page he mentions
having just received word from Gen.
Montgomery Of the capitulation of Mon
treal. Coughlin appears to have been an
officer Of some kind. as his journal is
partly a record of the proceedings OF his
regiment or company. Tne books are
pretty we'll preserved.

visitors have been coming into the city
for several days, a train load at a time,
until their numbers exceed the accom-
n.odations for them.
They have swamped the hotels. They
have grabbed everything that looks like
a room in the downtown districts, and
in spite of the fact that every hotel is
taxed beyond its capacity, they keep
coming. Last night hotel clerks threw
up their hands helplessly and cried
enough. Hotelkeepers were brought
sharp up against proposition they
couldn't handle They tried to smile and
assist the visitors in finding place to

was: Everything filled to the limit"

Grand Pacific, Auditorium, Auditorium
Annex and other hotels downtown
crowds of men stood in front of the desk
ell day yesterday waiting for rooms to
be vacated. They begged for accommo-

figures without success. Then they
spread out to the smaller hotels until
the situation became the same in all
parts of the business center
! Last night when every bed was occu-
pied and cots had been wedged into
rooms to afford additional accommoda-
tions there were still scores Of visitors
who had not been provided for, and they
spent the night searching for place to
sleep. Many who arrived on the late
trains and were too tired to hunt for
beds planted themselves in chairstin the

RAILWAY MAeNATEs MEET.
An Important Session Held in New
York Wednesday,


| New York, Dec. 5.-Representatiyes a
practically every railway running west
of Chicago, with the exception of the
Great Northern, held a secret session
in the boardroom of the Equitable Life
Building. For some reason great i'm
portance attaches to the meeting, and
| it was even declared that matters of the
greatest moment, including the affairs
of the Northern Securities Company,
were to be discussed at the meeting.
| AS matter Of fact, the business of
| the session was unusually brief entirely
routine and had to do chiefly if not en-
tirely. with the maintenance of freight
and passenger rates in the territory
traversed by these roads. Reports sub
mitted indicated that the rate situation
Is fairly satisfactory.
Perhaps the most serious problem
that presented itself was the increa sing
car famine, which at this time taxes the
capacity of all the more important
roads. No conclusion was reached on
this point, but it was suggested that 1t
might be necessary to make a per diem
charge instead of mileage for the use
of cars.
When asked whether there had been
any discussion as to possible interfer-
ence by the western governors or the in
terstate commerce commission with the
Northern Securities Company President
Ramsey of the Wabash said that the
conference had nothing to do with such
matters and that the question had not
been touched on. as 1t was purely and
solely rate conference.
Among those present were Vice Pres
idents S. r. Knott of the Kansas City

Washington. Dec. 6.-The members OF
fhe house of representatives are show
ing some opposition to the origination OF
Philippine revenue legislation in the
senate and in particular to Lodges bill,
which deals with this subject. Tawney,
OF Minnesota, holds constitutional pro-
vision that "all bills for raising rev.

Der will oppose any senate bill on the
subject as an invasion of the preroga-

Out With Him.

10rtlOrQ SOuTdAl.J
The New York Times OF Tuesday
printed the following paragraph, which
lis therefore presumably correct, how
ever surprising it may be:
Edgar Stanton Maclay, the author OF
"A History OF the United States Navy.
who is still working as clerk in the
Brooklyn navy yard, is preparing to
make changes in his history if Rear
Admiral Schley Is exonerated. Yester-
day he said:
...I am awaiting the decision OF the
court before putting out the revised
edition of the history. If the court ex-
onerates Admiral Schley and clears him
of all discredit I will at once cut out
that portion of the third volume which
is detrimental to him. The decision of
the court, with a digest of the proceed
ings. will be published in the forthcom-
ing issue. / expect that the final work
will be out In a short time
Wev enture the opinion that this
clerk nthe rBooklyn navy yard should
have had his discharge papers months
ago. When has there appeared a more
impertinent announcement than this
that, If Schley is eNonerated, he will cut
out the abusive part of his historic
work? How kind! The whole work
should go out of the window before the
ocurt makes it's decision. The clerk or
laborer (some reports have it that this
particular historian is "laborer" on
the pay-rolD, who had the assumption to
describe an admiral as coward and
poltroon, while the man was still in good
standing in his country's service, is not
needed any longer and ought to have
been so informed when his insulting
book was first denounced. Whatever
the decision of the court. it is evident
that this fellow is too fresh for salt wa
ter navigation. 1t is not his final work"
that should be out In short time. 1t
is himself. Out with him forthwith.
