CHEAP FARES OPPOSED
Northern Lines Fight Low Rates o
Western Roads.
THREATEN RETALIATION IF NECESSARY
Say Passengers should Pay Same
Price Winter and Summer aud
May Force Suspension of spe-
cIRI Convention Plans.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-It is most probable
that cheap passenger rates will not be put
into effect in territory west Of Chicago
during 1903. A movement is on foot to
abrogate cheap rates for conventions, ex-
eursions and colonists. The movement is
due to a determined protest made by the
Canadian Pacific, the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific.
Several conferences have been held re-
garding the matter, but no final settlement
has yet been reached. The last confer
ence, held today, was attended by ]. c.
Stubs of the Hartman lines, the vice
president and general passenger agent OF
the Canadian Pacific. general passenger
agents OF the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, the general passenger agent OF
the Union Pacific and Darius Miller, vice
president of the Burlington.
The northern lines complain that the
cheap rates granted by the western lines
during the summer destroys the northern
harvest Of tourists and threaten, II the
western lines persist in these rates, that
they will be compelled to put on similar
rates during the winter and thereby hurt
the tourist and resort trafhc Of the west
ern lines.

STEALS CHINAMEN'S MONEY
Hawaiian Treasurer Alleged to Have
EmbezzIed Eighteen Thousand
Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-oficial re-
ports on the alleged defalcations by Of
fcials in Hawaii were received by the sec
rotary of the interior today from Gov
ernor Dole. William H. Wright, the treas
urer of the territory, admits he is SIT, $50
short, and B. H. Wright, chief clerk OF the
department OF public works. is charged
with embezzling $S.272.
Governor Dole says Secretary Cooper,
who is now acting treasurer, heard through
confidential sources that the treasurer was
short and when the latter was confronted
with the statement he denied 1t, but sub
sequently admitted a shortage of about
SIS, 900, giving assurances at the same time
that he would make 1t good.
Mr.. Cooper on taking charge held an in
vestigation, at which the treasurer failed
to make good a promise to appear. The
cash in the general treasury was found to
be correct, but the governor reports that
the Chinese fund, under special deposit in
the vaults, was 81, $50 short. This fund
originated in deposits made by Chinese en-
tering Hawaii to secure their passage
money on leaving the country.

TREATY ALMOST COMPLETED
No Serious Complications Likely Now
to Arise I'm Panama Canal
Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Mr. Cromwell
counsel for the Panama Canal company
called at the State department today and
had a conference with Secretary Hay re-
specting the next steps to be taken In
view OF Attorney General Knox's opinion
on the suficiency of the canal title to
carry out the transfer of the property to
the United States government.
The Spooner act requires a treaty with
Colombia to be made before the canal com
pany's property is actually purchased by
the United States, but this treaty is now
well advanced toward completion. so that
It is deemed proper TO consider other
measures relating to the French title
1t is also understood that after a con-
ference with such senatorial leaders as
have been in Washington recently secre-
tary Hay has pretty well satisfied himself
that IL such a thing were desirable con-
Rress would readily amend the Spooner
act, so as to wipe out the condition that
a treaty must precede the purchase.
In such case the canal property, having
been bought. the United States govern
ment would go ahead with the work OF
construction, leaving tho treaty n~egotia-
tons to follow. But as already indicated
the neKotiations between Secretary Hay
and Senior ConehA have progressed so sat
isfaetorily as TO warrant the belief that
no such recourse to further Legislation
will be necessary.
The present status OF the treaty nego-
tiations is that there Is now in the hands
OF Secretary Hay, who Is waiting TO sub
NIT il 10 the president, a proposal from
Colombia. suggesting notifications OF the
treaty which the United States originally
proposed. This Is being considered, potn'

Low STOCKS MEAN NOTHING

Manufacturers Fail to FuInIl Request,
In spite Of Exceptional En-
cheney in Plant ana

NEW YORK, Nov. AR. @. Dun e. Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say tomor-
row:
Lower prices for railway stocks than at
any time since last March do not neces-
sarily indicate loss Of traffic or a setback
in business. On the contrary, coincident
with the collapse OF the stock market. there
we're numerous indications that manutac-
turing and transport interests have. not
facilities to meet demands, though plants
and equipment are Of greater efficiency
than at any previous time.
Distribution Of merchandise Is fully main
tanned, preparations being made for a heavy
holiday trade, and frequent complaints OF
tardy deliveries testify to the heavy con-
sumption. Prospects for continued good
trade are bright because of unprecedented
harvests, assuring a good demand for other
products. Threatened labor controversies
being advanced, while a number of in
creases we're voluntarily given.
Railways Make Money.
Railway earnings continue to advance,
the first week of November showing a rise
of as per cent over 1901 and l5.2 per cent
High temperature retards retail trade in
s~easonable goods. Aside from the expected
decline in prices of pipes and tubes there
has been no evidence of weakness, and all
the recent concessions were caused by COM
petition of new plants rather than dlmln-
Ished business. Many purchasers are de-
laying orders, however, In the hope that

Eastern manufacturers of footwear are
Offering no inducements to buyers, and,
while no actual advances in prices have
occurred, the market Is decidedly strong.
Western shops are also busy, deliveries In
both sections coming so slowly as to cause
much complaint. Sole leather Is active and
firm, both domestic and export sales being
large. Some western tanners ADVANCE
prices, which checked business. Foreign
dry hides are abundant and weaker. Linn
tied supplies in first hands and with Jobbers

sharp decline in the raw material. Export
trade is dull, Chinese business showing the

cured by slight concessions.

for heavy weights for quick delivery.

Found Dead in a Stable.

Samuel Baker, aged about so years, a
farm hand employed by John P. Lippin-
colt, of Vincentown, was found dead in
the West Jersey stables, Camden, Friday
morning. An air of mystery surrounds
the case.
Baker drove his team into the stables
about half-past 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing to stable for the night. No more was
seen of him until about 6 o'clock in the
morning, when Joshua Haines, another
farmer, entered the stable, and while
walking along the passageway stumbled
over Bakers dead body.
He was lying at the heels of a mule,
and under his head was clot of blood,
and he had deep cash back of the ear
Coroner Robinson was notified, and had
the body removed to the morgue. Later
the Coroner and County Physician Jones
held a post norton examination and
found fracture at the base of the brain.
1t was at first believed that the mule
had inflicted the injuries. Bakers sister,
Mrs. David Smith, of Medford, was no.
tilted, and informed that she could have
the body. The authorities later received
knowledge that caused them to suspect
| foul play, and Coroner Robinson deter
mined that the death certificate should be
withheld until a complete investigation
was made. The body will also be kept
Baker, it is understood, had sum Of
money in his possession.

Filtered Water Promised.


There was meeting, on Friday night,
of the Mount Holly citizens water COM
mittee, which had been appointed long
time ago to take steps to secure better
water for the town.
The meeting was held in the Office of
Eckard P. Budd.
B. F. Haywood Shreve, representing
the Mount Holly Water Company. was
present. He produced contract, duly
executed, with the New York Continen
tal-Jewell Filtration Company for the
erection of gravity filter of 1900, 600
gallons capacity in "a hours, to be locat-
ed near the pumping station.
The contract does not cover the build
ing, foundations and pipes necessary for
the filter tanks and beds. These are to
be erected by the Water Company.
1t is stipulated in the contract, how
ever, that the local company will have
its portion of the work ready by May 1st.
The New York company agrees to finish
it's work sixty days after the foundations,
ETC., have been placed, which fixes the
final date for the completion of the entire
job at July LIST next.
A blue print of the proposed improve
ment was shown to the committee. 1t
shows an addition to the present pump
ing station enclosing two filter tanks each
Is feet in diameter and feet high. I'm
der the filters is Q clear water basin 34x2e
feet in size and 10 feet deep, with ca
pacity of II, 400 gallons.
Outside the building are two settling
tanks, built of cypress wood, each % feet
in diameter and 20 feet high. The water
is first pumped into these tanks by cen
trifugal pump to be installed. A small
quantity of alum is introduced to precipi-
tate most of the dirt in suspension, after
which the water flows to the filter
The filtered water is to be served to the
public every day in the year, not merely
during the summer months.
Mr. Shreve said the Water Company
also proposes to install new and larger
boiler in place of one of those now in use,
and to rebuild the smoke stack, which is
too small.
After hearing the report made by Mr.
Shreve for the Water Company, the com
mittee adjourned until Tuesday night
