HILLS HAND SEEN
New Deal in the Keeping of Ac.

cred at the Local
Depots.

Economy has become the watch
word on the q since that system has
fallen under the hand of j. j. Hill.
Through this policy alone are the
local employees made TO realize that
a change has taken place. The c. b.
& q. system of keeping accounts has
always been well thought of among
railroad men for it was a system that
proved successful and did its share
toward the building up of the most
efficient lines in the world. But
lately there has been Tightening
up of the disbursements and a con-
sequent complication of records that
has caused general wall to go up
for more clerks from all points on
the system.
1t is so in Rock Island. The eNten-
sion of the records is particularly
manifest in the supply department
and ii extends to the mechanical and
roadway departments. 1t is not
enough for the section foreman to re-
port that he has received and used IA
key of spikes but he must give an ac-
count of the part of his section they
were used upon. In the repair shops
ii is the same way. everything down
to the utmost detail being accounted
for. 1t is little wonder then that
there is a call for clerical help in the
Offices. But here again the spirit of
economy is manifested. New clerks
are not to he had for the asking aud
it must be clearly shown that pres
ent forces absolutely cannot take
care of the business before any in

James j. Hill believes in making a

1T WAS A SNAP JUDGMENT.
So Declares Donald McMaster Of Judge Caron's
Decision.
(By the Associated Press.)

Wy ZIG <ASOOCldlSu 4 lN0o'J
Montreal, Quebec, August 15.-Donald
McMaster, K c., leading counsel for the
United States, today gave out the fol-
lowing statement in reference to Judge
Carons judgment in the Gaynor- Greene
case:
'sIn my opinion the judgment is bad
and the reasons in support of it worse.
The judgment is in effect snap Judg-
ment without an opportunity for counsel
being heard upon the whole case.
1.-The first ground of the judgment is
that the warrant issued by Judge Lafon-
taine for the arrest of the prisoners does
not contain the date of the commission
of the crime"
Mr.. McMaster considers this most
extraordinary reason, as he holds the
warrant to be in the words of the form
prescribed by the statute. According to
him the date in the warrant was not at
all necessary, neither by the form of the
statute nor by the express terms of the
extradition act.
"But suppose that the date were re-
uuired in the warrant of arrest?" he
continues, (which it certainly is not.
Once the prisoners are brought before
judge or justice, the date in the warrant
becomes absolutely immaterial.
'On the whole L am unable to con-
ceive how this judgment under such
circumstances could be rendered. The
authorities submitted on behalf of the
United States Government do not ap-
pear to have received any cons1dera-
tion Neither does the judgment OF JUS
tice Andrews. 1t is either ignored or
lightly Brushed aside. That Judgment
was res jusdica. Justice Caron was abb
solutely bound by it's terms upon every
principle underlying the administration
of Justice"

A DARING VOYAGE.
The Experience Of Newman Crossing the At
lantic in Launch
(By the Associated Press.)

10y Tie ASSOCldJSQ 1ISSS.)
Falmouth, England, Aug. 14.-Captain
Newman and his son, Edward, arrived
here tonight in the 3S-foot kerosene
launch, Abiel Abbot Low, in which they
sailed from New York July 9.
In an interview with representative
of the Associated Press, Captain New
man said:
1.-The launch has proved herself a noble
boat, but we experienced awful times
since we left New York. Several times,
in terrible gales, we nearly lost our
drag anchor owing to the gear chatting
away. We voyaged 3,103 miles. We had
great trouble with the kerosene because
the tanks which held it broke and the
Gil flooded the cabin. My boy became
i'll and home-sick. / suffered greatly
from exposure and long sitting in one
position. We spoke the American Line
steamer Kroonland August /, in mid-At-
lantic. After this we encountered Sc
ries of most severe gales and the hard
ships were SO great that l feared we
would not survive. We did not speak
another vessel until August 13 when We
met fisherman ninety miles off the
Sicily Islands Those last ninety miles
were the longest / ever ran in my life.
would not hesitate, however, to try the
voyage again."
The voyagers rarely used the sail on
the launch. Captain Newman lost thirty
pounds in weight on the trip, but his son
seems to have derived benefit from the
experience.

New York, August 14-Announcement
was made tonight that Terry McGovern
and Young Corbett will not meet in the
ring in New London on August 20, as
originally arranged. They will fight be-
fore the Southern Athletic Club of Louis
Vile on September Is. Representatives
of the two feather weights decided upon
this at a meeting held at Saratoga today.
The reason for abandoning New Lon
don is that the officials of the State or
Connecticut have put the ban on the fight
and even if the men were able to come
together this action would likely keep
the attendance down. All forfeits will
stand for September Is.
