AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOCKED

Gen. Smiths bold confession at his
trial in Manila seems to have shocke1
the American people into realization
of the barbarities which, with their
power and in their name, have for three
wears been committed in the Philip
pines.
Through his counsel, colonel in the
army, Gen. Smith admitted solemnly in
the presence OF the court martial
That he had issued orders to Major
Waller to kill the natives and burn their
homes:
That he had issued orders to make
Samar bowling wilderness:
That he had ordered all persons cap
able of bearing arms to be killed.
And that he had ordered this ruthless
killing specifically to include bows above
ten years OF age.
This was no revelation. The war de-
partment had long been in possession OF
reports revealing a barbaric policy OF eX-
termination in the Philippines. But the
president, and the secretary of war,
and Senator Lodge with his investiga-
ting committee, which,d anything but
investigate, had suppressed the truth.
When Gen. Miles characterized the war
as having been conducted with unusual
severity" the Secretary of War rebuked
him Indignantly, not only denying that
there had been severity, nut insisting
that the war had been conducted with
marked humanity; and the president
gave sting to his war secretary's re-
buke. When Senator Lodge was urged
to investigate, and throw the doors OF
the committee room open to other cor
respondents besides those OF the three
press associations which are committed
10 imperialism, ne Haue EXCUSES. II
Gen. Smiths blunt confession could
have been suppressed it doubtless would
have been. judging from the policy Of
suppression which has prevailed so long.
But now that it is out, they are only
two things to do. One is to treat the
matter as brutal, unmilitary and UNI
usual conduct on the part of an indivi-
dual officer, and punish him according
ly. The other is acknowledge frankly
that he acted in harmony with the gem
eral American military policy in the
islands and defend that policy as ne
cessity.

cessity.

There is much that is comical about
all the fuss and feathers over legal pro-
ceedings against the meat trust These
proceedings are all for the world like
the slap-sticks of the vaudeville stage,
which make great deal of noise but
hurt nobody. The members OF the meat
trust themselves are merry over it,
They say that if the injunction holds
against the loose combination, they
will form one that is not loose, one like
that of the steel trust. And, sure enough
they could find safety in that way. For
the steel trust, the greatest and strong
est OF all the trusts, is regarded by the
powers that be as legally invulnerable,
because it consists of one corporation
owning majority OF the stock in all the
subsidiary corporations. 1t is not a
trust it is stakeholder. Here then is
a case of now you see it and then you
don't. Ii the meat trust is held to-
gether by what witty writer describes
as "gentleman's agreement among
hogs" it is unlawful, but if it is held
together by the charter OF New Jersey
corporation, it is lawful. Yet there ia
no difference except in form.

In an action brought by the city OF
Port Townsend to ioreclose tax liens for
the years 1S9l-2 3-4, the supreme court
has decided that the statue of limita.
tions does not apply to delinquent taxes.
The court held that the law provides
that a city may foreclose its lien for
taxes for previous years by an action in
court and the term 'previous years
does not refer to any specified period
The court has held in the past that taxes
are assets which may be taken into &C.
count in determining the Indebtedness
OF public corporations as limited by the
constitution. An action to recover tax
is an action to enforce public right
The statute OF limitations is inapplicable
to the case at bar. There is nothing in
the laws that a citizen may be complete
ly exonerated from the payment of hi;
just proportion OF the general taxes
simply by negelecting to pay them al
the proper time, or by reason of the
mere lapse OF time.

fully at the brakes until the collision
took place, BY freak of fate he escaped
with few bruises.
The accident occurred at $50 o'clock.
and the wreck burned fiercefy until noon.
Dense columns of smoke rose high in the
air. attracting many persons from the
surrounding country to the scene.
Traffic was not delayed much, as tenn
porary track was built around the wreck
cary in the day, and in the afternoon
wrecking crew from Los Angeles got to
work, clearing and repairing the tracks
of the main line.
The financial loss to the company is
heavy. The cause of the runaway was
the leaking of the air from the brakes
of the old cars, which had been left
set when the engine was detached from
the train at Pomona TO do some switch
Ing. When the air escaped the brakes
were released. and the-cars started down
grade from their own weight. Had the
hand brakes been set also as is custom
airy under such circumstances. the dis
aster could not have happened.

WHERE DOES COAL GO?
Dealers Say 400 Cars Arrive in Bal
timore Daily.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 17.-Where does
all the soft. coal go that comes to Balti-
more? is a question to which many
Baltimore dealers have been trying to
get an answer.
These dealers claim to have investi-
gated and discovered that on an average
of 400 or 500 carloads of soft coal reach
this city every day, and they point out
that very little of it finds its way into
local yards. Not only is there not
enough of this fuel to supply the domes-
tice demand. but wholesalers with
heavy contracts are unable to get
enough to supply the commercial de-
mand.
Blame for this condition of affairs is
placed directly upon the operator VINO
are said to be shipping every possible
carload of the soft coal to New England,
New York and Philadelphia, where ex-
orbitant prices are charged for it. Pleas
of inability to get coal here on account
of shortage of motive power, etc. are
advanced as reasons for the failure to
live up to local contracts
Several local dealers. who have gone
far enough into the situation to know
what they are talking about say that
there is plenty of soft coal coming here
to supply the local demand If the oper-
ators would only be satisfied with rea-
sonabIe profits. Instead, they have gone
wild over the prospects of immediate
fortunes, u THESE QtdiClS anu
are shipping the coal north where al
most any price can be secured. In addi-
ton much of the coal usually coming
to Baltimore is diverted through the
Cumberland Valley and sent directly to
Philadelphia and other cities
Apparently the soft coal situation is
growing worse every day as the de-
mand from the north increases. Every
effort is being made to supply this
northern demand, while Baltimore'S
needs appear to be unrecogniZed. al
though it is the home of many of the
is selling at a higher price than ever be-
fore, the good quality easily bringing
from $3.50 to SO ton
Efforts are now being made by oper-
ators along the West Virginia Central
railroad to get some of their coal to this
city to relieve the ia mine here, but they
are meeting with considerable unexpect-
ed opposition from interests identified
with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Motive power is not being furnished as
readily as was hoped. and it is hardly
probable that enough of the coal can be
gotten here to materially affect the sit
uation
Receipts of hard coal yesterday were
small, the storm having the effect of de-
laying some of the cars, and in consc-
quence the supply was not equal to that
of the day before. Dealers who received
some Of the small quantity which ar.
rived bad sold out before noon. Damp,

NO CARS FOR STOCK.
Santa Fe 1000 Cars Behind on
Texas Orders.

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. 17.-Never in
the history of Texas railroads has there
been such a shortage on rolling STOCK
particularly cars in which to ship live
stock. Every line that penetrates the
cattle sections of the state is affected
from this shortage, and there is no tell
ing when the roads will be able to get
the necessary cars to move the stock
now waiting at different points for
shipment to market. The congested con-
dition is as bad today as it was two
months ago, when livestock shipments
commenced.
Discussing the matter. ]. I. Conway
livestock agent of the Gulf Colorado &
Santa Fe, said today that there are at
least 1000 cars of stock in pens at diff
ferent points along the Santa Fe in the
San Angelo country, along the Texas &
Pacific to the Abilene country and along
the Texas Central in the Stamford coun-
try, and when they will be moved is a
mystery not capable of being solved
These railroads are at least 80 days be-
hind in orders for cars. and the situa-
ton indicates that conditions are grow
ing no better. Usually the end of the
fall shipping is reached by this time,
but Mr.. Conway says that on account
of the car shortage it will extend at
least another month or six weeks. He
says there is a greater movement of cat
tie to market from the sections mention
ed this year than ever before.

$3,34o PROFIT.
Lake Shore Makes That Sum on Each
Trainload of Grain.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 17.-At the
suggestion of counsel and officials of
the roads represented the interstate
commerce commission decided to require
the railroads to file written statements
by January 10. next. setting forth the
reasons they rely on to justify the ad-
vance in grain rates new hearing
will be held, probably in Washington, at
the earliest practicable date.
The principal witness yesterday was
Traffic Manager Grammer of the Lake
Shore.
When asked regarding the cost of
hauling a train of 80 cars loaded with
grain from Chicago to Buffalo Mr.
Grammer testified in effect that while
the railroad would get from such a
train a revenue of SO. 600 the cost of op-
Grating the train. wages, fuel, oil waste,
etc, would amount to only $3.50 Mr.
Grammer testified that all railroad sup
plies had increased materially in price
since 1900, but admitted that generally
speaking the railroads were never MOI :
prosperous. He cited the extraordinary
crops of cotton. corn. oats, etc. as a
reason for advancing freight rates.
