inspection of the state charitable and
penal institutions. Under the law it
is made the duty of the state auditor to

s5oo,ooo WORTH OF PRODUCE.
This Amount Due TO Arrive And May be
Dead Loss


Chicago, July i4.-After receiving
the consent OF the freight handlers,
the members of the board of arbitra-
ton prepared list of demands for the
men to present to tie railroads and
they said they were assured that tAe5
would be acceptable to the railroads.
The general managers said that they
would meet the men and use every
possible means to reach settlement.
There was rioting, but nobody was
seriously injured. The chief sufferers
were teamsters who tried to deliver
goods at the freight houses All the
streets leading to the stations were
pic<eted and it was impossible for a
teamster to get a load to any depot
without being stopped. The drivers
for the commission houses informed
their employers that they would handle
goods for the Lake Lines and for the
Express companies, but they would
not deliver anything to the freight
houses or haul anything away from
them.
This means, according to the COM
mission men, that S5Oo,O worth of
produce to arrive will be allowed to
spoil unless the strike shall be settled
at once.

.FRIARS MUST LEAVE ISLANDS
Notice is Given the Vatican to That
Effect.
uNwIsE TO LET THEM STAY.

Oyster Bay, July 15.-One of the
the president and Secretary Root was
that relating to Governor Taft's nego-
tiations with the Vatican respecting
the Philippine friars. Both Mr.. Roose-
welt and the secretary of war deem it
unwise that the friars should remain
in the archipelago with the prestige
which they now possess The attitude
the friars assume is regarded not only
as menace to the peace of the islands
but also as an obstruction to their gov
eminent and to the civilization of their
inhabitants.
No statement of the conclusion
reached by tie president and Secretary
Root could be obtained at Sycamore
Hill, but, unofficially, it is understood
that note is being drafted in response
to that transmitted by the pope
through Governor Taft to the admins
tration. AS Governor Taft stated the
negotiations, it is likely that the re-
| ply of this government will be sent
TO the Vatican authorities through him.
Ample assurance is given that the Uni
ted States will take strong ground in
support of its contention that the friars
must be eliminated from the Philip
pine equation. 1t is said that no Off
cial statement of any phase of the sit
uation will be made public until the

Collection Agency Buy ing Up Prom Mer
chants Debts Against Railroaders.

One hundred and thirty six employees
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. re-
siding in Trenton are up in arms
against collecting agency which has
secured writ of attachment to the
courts of West Virginia against the
company, causing the latter to retain
part Of the mems wages for the pay
ment of debts due local merchants.
The concern is known as the Delaware
Collection and Claim Agency of Har-
risburg, Pa, doing business under
charter taken out in West Virginia.
The men have organized an assoeia
ton and propose to retain counsel to
test the validity of the West Virginia
law, which the collection agency is try
ing to operate in New Jersey. Among
the numbers are several high officials,
receiving salaries ranging from 800 to
$500 month. Furthermore, because
of the nagging disposition of the col
lectors and the extra clerks who have
been maintained to answer the cores
pondence which floods into the rail
waycompany' 8 Offices, orders have been
issued making the second offense of
any of the employees punishable by
dismissal.
The collection agency works on this
plan Names of local merchants having
claims against the employees Of the rail
road company are secured and then fol-
lows a letter which imparts the infor-
nation that the West Virginia agency
will buy all such claims for 80 cts. on
the dollar After the claim is thus
purchased it becomes the sole proper
ty of the collection agency and steps
are taken at once to collect. An ac-
tion of attachment is instituted in the
West Virginia courts, in which State
wages of employees can be garnisheed.
When secured the attachment is serv-
ed on the railroad company as custo- |
dian of the debtors money and effort |
made to collect.
The claim is made that such proceed |
ure is Illegal because wages cannot be
garnisheed in New Jersey. Suits may
result in the railroad company with
holding the wages due. The same
agency attempted TO operate in Altoo-
ma, Harrisburg and other points along
the main line of the Pennsylvania, but
was blocked by an adverse decision
by Attorney General Elkin of Penn
sylvania.
