sPREcKELs WOULD SELL
Wants the Santa Fe to Buy His
Pacific Steamboats,

The Chicago Chronicle says: Rumored
acquisition of the ocean-going steamships
of the Oceanic company by the Santa Fe
Railroad Company will mark another
long step in the development of that sys-
tenn. A number of late transactions
shows that the managers of the great
railroad systems of the country consider
the addition of steamships a natural and
necessary means to the end of carrying
on their business. The proposal of the
Canadian Pacific to maintain a line of
steamers from the eastern terminus of its
road to the British isles and the purchase
of the Cromwell line of New York and
gulf port steamers by the Southern Pa
cific were the most recent ones. In the
northwest ]. ]. Hill and those interested
with him in the transcontinental lines
reaching to the Pacific coast have in a
measure developed this idea.
The Oceanic steamship line. composed
of boats running from San Francisco to
the Hawaiian islands and Australia, is
owned and controlled bySpreckels, but ac-
cording to the report the owners are
willing and ready to turn them over, and
the Santa Fe has made satisfactory ar
fragments by which the ownership will
be transferred in short time.
The activity of Hill in getting complete
control of the steams ship traffic from the
terminus of his lines to Japan and north
ern Asia spurred other companies to en-
ter the ocean carrying field. 1t is believ-
ed the Santa Fe will enter actively into
the competition for the Australian and
Chinese trade. well for that to and
from the Philippines and Hawaii. Since
the Santa Fe obtained it's entrance into
San Francisco it is in a position to
reach out across the sea for business.

PETER MUST RETURN.
Celebrated Northern Securities Plain
tiff Now in Canada.

New York, Aug. 13.-Peter Power, the
plaintiff in an action against the North
ern Pacific railway company, who ne
elected to respond to subpoenaes to
been adjudged guilty of contempt of
court. has been located in Montreal,
where he is stopping in the Queens
hotel, under the name of p. Blake.
This was admitted by his counsel,
George Alfred Lamb, in the hearing.
Mr.. Lamb promised to go to Montreal
last night and bring Power back. He
said: Il have a correspondent in Mon
treal and I have written him, sending
on funds for Powers return in charge
of doctor and nurse. I have not yet
received an answer, but expect one If
it does not get here by Z O'Clock 1 will
take the train then to Montreal. I am
afraid l have rather lost control over
Power and it will need my presence to
reaSSure him.
Mr.. Lamb then voluntarily gave the
first statement of the cause of the
Power suit as follows: MIR. Camille
Weidenfeld, broker, of No. As Wall
street, has been subpoenaed and is will
ing to bear me out in telling all the
history of the Power suit. 1 have done
for years great deal of legal business
for Weidenfeld & Co. At the time of
the panic in Northern Pacific, on May
9, 1901, when the great struggle was
going on between Kuhn, Loeb & Co..
Hartman and J. p. Morgan, Mr.. Weld
enIelu ana ndQ many conversations on
the subject of the Northern securities
company and it's legality. Many per-
sons had lost money in the panic.
Weidenfe1d was one. / was urged by
several persons to test the legality of
the company, with the view of prevent
ing the happening of such a panic
again
''Weidenfe1d suggested that if I got a
plaintiff he would assign him stock SO
that suit could be brought Powerful
influences were arrayed against such a
suit Any broker known to be involved
in it would meet with disaster very
quickly. I selected Peter Power and
Weidenfeld assigned to him 100 shares
of the Northern Pacific preferred. The
state of Minnesota was then about to
bring suit to test the legality of the
Northern securities company, so 1 sug-
gested to Weidenfeld that 1t would be
well to act in harmony with the people
out there. I went out and saw Gov.
Van SAINT and Judge Lancaster was
called in to assist us. The Minnesota
governor was glad to have the co-opera-
ton of a stock broker, and so the
Power suit was begun"

NEW LINES IN TEXAS.
Santa Fe Commences Work on Ex-
tension to Cotton Fields.

The Santa Fe has begun grading work
In Texas on what is known as the Gulf
beaumont & Great Northern. a spur of
the Santa Fe.. So far plans have been
projected for building this new track
from San Augustine in San Augustine
county to Center, in Shelby county. AL
together this will cover 20 miles and
will represent an expenditure of $3.50, 900.
The road will be finished in time. it is
thought, for the late fall business. and
will participate in hauling the cotton
of eastern Texas as well as profiting
from the lumber trade. The Santa Fe
has already contracted with the Colony
Contracting company for filling up the
gap from its southern terminus to San
Augustine and this is now under way.
This will, therefore, give it direct line
from Beaumont to a point close by the
Houston east and west Texas 1t has
been the history of all railroads in the
southwest never to stop at small places.
From this precendent it may be pre-
summed. therefore, that Center is not the
objective of the Santa Fe officials. but

Texas is left for the future to determ-

to Santa F'e men however but takes in
craftsmen from the other woodworking
plants of the city. The meeting was
held at trades assembly hall, 420 Kan
saS avenue, and the regular night for
the gatherings will be on Tuesday.
The principal address of the evening
was made by Mr. Ceilley. He said that
in Kansas City he had been told he
couldn't create any union sentiment in
Topeka, but refusing to be discouraged
by such talk had come here and after
several weeks work he had been graft

that the results of unionism in most OF
the cities had been to secure an eight

erage here is for % or "a cents an hour

Mr.. Ceilley then went over the profit
which is to accrue from the union aside
from that obtained in an indirect way
the sick and death benefits. He re-
ferred to the strike of the coal miners
in Pennsylvania and foretold that they
would win in the end. and that end was
not far distant. 1.-The wood-workers,
he added. 'have bright future before
them and on next labor day there will
be one of the finest turn-outs ever seen
in this town.
1t seems to be the plan to have the
apprenticeship system adopted in the
shops here, at present there being nc
arrangement by which apprentices may
be taken on to learn the wood ma
chinists' trade in the railroad Shops
Bert Jones, of the carpenters union
also appeared and made brief con-
gratulatory talk. Mr. Jones believed
thoroughly in the cause of organized
labor, and said that all the laborins
men, whether skilled or unskilled, should
be banded together.
William Bird, of Lawrence. who is a
forenan of carpenters working ON the
new Santa Fe boiler and machine shop

of union labor in that city. He related

If you have tried boiling hot water for
removing the chocolate stains-placing
the cloth over a bowl and pouring the
water through and salt the wine
stains (this must be applied when stain
is fresh), without success you will find
that Javelle water will bleach out the
stains completely, but must this
preparation with care and the article
bleached must be very thoroughly rinsed
to remove the bleach or it will make
the fabric very tender.
