KNOWN WHEREVER
THERE ARE LAWYERS
St. Paul Institution With a Reputa-
ton That Extends Around
the World.

There is perhaps no lawyer in any
enlightened modern nation who does
not know of the West Publishing COM
pany, of this city This is true for the
reason that the nited States is the
great center of law book publishing,
and ST. Paul is the center of the Unit.
ed States for this industry.
The West Publishing company not
only publishes the best law books. but
the most law books-it is the largest
law book publishing house in the
world. The National Reporter system
and the American Digest system had
their origin and development in the
West house.
That it maintains its well won pres
tige as the head of the law book
publishing business of the world is the
strongest evidence that could be ad-
duced of the Integrity, the enterprise
and the intelligence of the gentlemen
conducting the affairs Of the West
company. Besides conducting a busi-
ness enterprise of immense proper
tions, the West company was one OF
the pioneers in the movement to make
its employees partners in its prosperity

Pope.

Special Cable to The Globe.
ROME, Dec. 20.-Rt. Rev. James Ed
ward Quigley, bishop of Buffalo, was
today appointed by the pope to be
archbishop of Chicago, in succession to
the late Archbishop Feehan. That the
pope would sign the appointment made
out but a few days ago by the college
Of the propaganda has been a fore
gone conclusion.
In Rome the bishop Of Buffalo is
regarded as priest of singular piety
and learning and bishop of unques-
tionable ability and resource in pure
ly temporal way. Moreover, Bishop
Quigley had already made a deep i'm
preston on the vatican by reason of
his having been nominated by the
American clergy for the see of New
York and again for the seat to which
he has been now elevated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 20.-E.
H. Hartman is angered at the action of
the secretary of war in awarding the
contract for the transportation of gov
ernment supplies by way Of Puget
sound to the Boston Steamship COM
pany. Hartman has declared to
friends that he had assurances from
those close to the secretary that the
Boston bid would be rejected and San
Francisco triumph over Seattle be COM
plete.
He thinks giving part of the business
to the Seattle company means gradual
removal of the transportation business
to that section and is now using all his
influence to prevent any more business
going to North Pacific ports. He had
an interview with Secretary Root to-
day, at which he laid before the head
of the war department a plan for char.
tering transports now on the Pacific to
a company to be composed presumably
of men interested in the Pacific Mail
Steamship company.
Any proposition which will not give
Seattle companies an equal chance to
charter transports, if congress is asked
to give the secretary authority to do
that, will be resisted by the congress
sional delegations from every North
western state.

THEOSOPHY
IN PRACTICE
=
Mrs. Tingley Has a Dog Pos
sessing Mr.. Judges
Spirit, She Says.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 20.-The for
malSevidence was turned to what pur-
ports to be remarkable revelation of
the inner working of the Nleosophical
Institution at Point Iona, at today's
session of the penNng trial of an ac-
ton for libel in which Mrs. Katherine
Tingley, head of the Universal Broth
erhood, is plaintiff against the Times
Mirror company, of Los Angeles. This
evidence is in the form of deposition
made by Louis S. Fitch, of Hartford,
Conn.
The deponent said he was employed
as a bookkeeper by the Universal
Brotherhood, of which he became a
member and had privileges accorded to
feW.others He stated that Mrs. Ting
ley was regarded as a prophet in line
Of succession, including Buddha, Christ
and Mahomet, and that she had told
deponent that marriage relations as
known to the world were in her belief
wholly false and perverted, and that
people who lived the life at Point Iona
would evolve so as to reach a stage
where marriage would not be neces-
sary.
Mr.. Fitch said he lived at Point
Iona from Aug. 1, 1900, till March,
1901.
He said the pledge of the Esoteric
Society of Theosophy was very bind
ing, members taking oath to obey the
leaders in all things, the leader being
katherine Tingley. Mrs. Tingley had
absolute control over everything and
everybody and she exercised this in the
nlinutest detail = - -
Deponent testified that Mrs Tingley
had a dog named Spot, and further
said:
Mrs. Ting1ey told me that Spot was
a great deal more than a pet. Z be-
lieve know said Mrs. Tingley, that
Mr. Judges spirit entered into Spot at
his death. Mr.. Judge gave Spot to me
at the time of his death and at the
time that assumed the leadership of
the Universal Brotherhood as his suc-
cessor.'',
Mr.. Fitch described some of the GER
emonies performed in connection with
the order to which he belonged. The
costume prescribed for all meetings
and gatherings except the Sunday
morning services, consisted of a
cheese cloth without clothes, belted
with cord at the waist, this garment
to be worn over underclothing only,
and that no starched clothing was to
be worn according to Mrs. Tingley's
ord dnrEa-s

HIGHER WAGES

Special to The Globe.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Demands for
an increase of 20 per cent in wages for

brakemen were presented today to
officials of forty systems of railroads

S. The increase will affect 10000 con-
ductors and brakemen.
Officials of every railroad running
west from Chicago and west of a line
drawn from Duluth to New Orleans
were waited upon and the demands
presented. Although the demands are
backed by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and Order of Railroad Con-
ductors, the grievance boards Of each
railroad system presented the papers.
All negotiations will be carried on by
these boards, although the officials Of
both brotherhoods will lend their as
sistance when needed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 20
The owl train which left here at 4:30
p. m. for Los Angeles was run into to-
night near Byron Hot Springs, seventy
miles from this city, by the Stockton
local train. Twelve or fifteen people
were killed and about thirty more or
less seriously injured.
The killed and injured were riding
in the rear car, which was filed with
passengers for Fresno, Cal.
Owing to the remoteness of the point
where the collision occurred details
are very n1eager
The killed are still lying under the
wreck of the engine and car, and their
names have not been ascertained.
Twenty seven injured have been re-
moved to the Byron Springs hotel. Re-
lief trains are Fastening to the wreck.
The Stockton local left this city one
half hour behind the Owl. Both trains
were well filled.
Danger Signals Disregarded.
A report at midnight says that ten
persons were killed. OF these one has
been identified as Clarence Oluff, of
Fresno.
The unidentified include three wom-
en-, one Japanese, one Japanese boy,
one Japanese man, two Chinese and
one laborer.
The owl train was stopped about a
mile west of Byron on account of the
engine breaking down. The brakeman
was sent about a half mile down the
track to flag the Stockton local, which
was following, and which left Oakland
half an hour after the disabled
train The engineer of the following
train answered the signals of the flag
man, but for some reason not yet
known to the managers of the railroad,
he rushed his train along, utterly dis
regarding the danger signals, and
crashed into the rear cars of the dis
abled train.
