States court today, continued the hear
ing in the suit of Peter Power, to re-
strain the Northern Pacific Railroad
company from merging it's stock with

j. 2. Morgan & Co., testified that he
had been employed by the firm for

holders in the Northern Pacific rail-
road.
After a recess the hearing was ad-

Secretary Root Makes Ruling Regard
ina Military Supplies Movement.

OMAHA, Kan, Aug. 7.-Secretary
of War Root has made ruling on the
distribution of transcontinental mill
tary business of an unusual character.
The government in the past has sent
all it's business over bonded roads when
conditions were equal and the Central
Pacific coming under the head has car
ried about all of the business. Other
transcontinental roads have objected
and Secretary Root has decided that
bids will be received on military BUSH
ness, all going to the lowest bidder
When the conditions are equal, or
nearly so, the Central Pacific will re-
ceive two thirds and competing roads

Some Desperate Attempts a Train
Hold up in Texas.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 1.-THE
southbound fast express on the Rock
Island railroad was boarded at Chick
asaW, 1. T., this morning by a man
who made a determined effort to hold
up the train. The would-be robber
encountered Brakeman D. w. Carpen-

car and a desperate struggle ensued,
in which Carpenter was shot three
times through a hand.
In the scuff1e the pistol was knocked
from the robbers hands to the track.
The man then managed to pull the au-
tomato air valve. When the train
slowed down he dropped off and escap-

THIS YACHT APPARENTLY

The Atlanta Is Wrecked by Running
Into a Pier.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE
yacht Atlanta was wrecked off this
port early today and the crew, consist
ing of four men, were rescued from the
pier to which they had escaped by the
life saving crew.
The Atlanta, which belonged to the
fleet of the Columbia Yacht club, now
on cruise to east shore ports, left ST.
Joseph last night, bound for Chicago.
On account of the heavy seas the At
lanta gave up the contest after being
buffeted in the waves for several
hours, and made run for this port.
The crew mistook the lights and
crashed into the pier lately sunk as
a part of the breakwater extension.
The yacht is probably a total loss.

Effects of the new per diem plan
of handling freight cars are already
being felt in the Northwest, accord
ing to the statement of a traffic official
of one of the local roads. The wan
dering freight cars are coming back
to their own roads, and the side tracks
are beginning to fill up with surplus
equipment.
Cars Are Plentiful.
There will be plenty of cars on hand,
it is stated, this fall to handle She
crops,and the inconvenience of former
years will. it is hoped, be entirely done
away with. Shipments at present are
rather heavy, and there is plenty of
use for the freight cars, but more are
coming in and additional ones will be
on hand to move the crops
Some of the Eastern roads are eXpe-
riencing a little difficulty in getting
cars back, but even at that the equip
ment is returning at a remarkable
rate. In fact, more freight cars are
being returned to their proper roads
than ever before.
Plan Is a Good One.
Another reason for the accumulation
of empty cars is the fact that the
many cars used for the transportation
Of coal are idle, owing to the strike
IN the anthracite neldS. IhlS, now
ever, does not affect the general stu
alton to any great extent, and it is
plainly evident that the new plan has
many advantages and is working out
exceedingly we'll.
Taken altogether, as far as can be
judged from the short time the new
plan has been in operation, it has all
the advantages over the old scheme
claimed for it by its supporters, and it
is not unlikely that the present per
diem plan will continue for some time.
