JOSEPH STEFAN|
IS NOT POPULAR
GROOM FAILS TO MAKE A HIT WITH
+ FATHER AND BROTHER OF
HIS GIRL WIFE.

There was farce comedy ending to a
dramatic incident in Justice Of the Peace
Dancers court today when Joseph Stefani
and his wife Of two nights and day came
before the tribunal to explain the circum-
starces Of their marriage.
Mrs. Stcfani was Minnie Tomieti Satur-
day afternoon and the apple of the Stefani
eye, Her father and big brother, however,
wcle not enthusiastic in their admiration
Of Mr.. Stcfani and when they learned late
Saturday night that Minnie's little cot at
No Montana street, Meadervile, was
empty they went after the man with gore
in their eyes.
It was yesterday afternoon when Under
Sheriff McGuigan found the couple at Mr..
Stelani's home in the Docrhofcr block in
South Montana street. They had been
married less than "a hours they said but
they had a license and ccrtihcatc from
Justice Libby of Mcadcrville to show that
everything was according to "Eoylc on
Weddings"
Claim She Is Under Age.
Brother and Father Tomicti did not lik,
the procedure, however, and late last even
ing they secured warrant for the arrest
Of the two, claiming that the girl was not
yet L.. Bonds were furnished for their
appearance in Juogc Dancers court this
morning
When they arrived there with the
license and the marriage certificate and a
pair Of big smiles, they found the judge in
good humor. He saw that they were
duly married and that they looked like a
happy couple. There was brief discussion
about the age of the girl and while there
was a question regarding the side of 16
on which Mrs. Stefani really was the JUS
tice wisely thought there was no necessity
to be too jealous considering everything.
They were discharged and went on their
way rejoicing.

One OF the important factors in
the strength of our Industrial po-
sition is the unquestioned super
iority in our transportation system.
II one has fresh in mind the pic
ture OF our luxurious trains. mann
moth engines. and. more impor-
tant still, our standard 5o-ton
freight cars, it makes the Euro
peans seem like amatures in the
science OF transportation when we
see their toy cars, small loco
motives. and generally slow going
administration.
II one looked into the matter
with the eye OF an expert, studying
the unit OF cost, the freight
charges per ton per mile. or the
mileage rate tor passenger service,
and made comparative statistics OF
the tonnage Of freight trains and
the cost Of moving them, he would
discover a startling lack OF efic-
iency, both in Great Britain and
on the continent Perhaps It is
not quite fair to make comparison
Of the average cost OF freight
traffic per ton per mile in Ameri-
CD aud in Europe, because the
average haul is much shorter
there. and terminal expenses OF a
haul are practically the same what
ever its length.
The average charge per ton per,
mile on all American railroads, for
all classes of freight, is now less
than Of cent. II we take the
statistics Of the Eastern trunk
lines alone, that figure would be
cut to about u cent per ton per
mile. 1t compares with a. in
Great Britain, al in France, re
IN Germany, and IA in Russia.
One Of the most remarkable Illus
trations Of the failure Of European
managers Of industries to keep
pace with the times is to be found
IN comparison Of the efficiency
Of their railroads with ours.
English railroads charge three
times - much to move ton Of
freight A. il can be moved for 10
America. English railroad man
ayers have failed 70 grasp the
economics that are made possible

FINES IMPOSED
BY Judge Erwin Against SaIoonIsts
Arrested Sunday.
The Law on This Point is yer,
Strict-Cases Appealed to
Circuit Court.

The cases against the saloon men
arrested Sunday by City Marshal Latts
and officer HoOten. were called in the
City Court Tuesday morning. The only
charges against the men were for en-
tering their saloons on Sunday. but
the law on this subject is very strict,
and Judge Erwin held, in accordance
with decisions of the Supreme Court,
that saloonist or his employees have no
right TO enter his place of business on
the Sabbath except in cases of urgent
necessity, such as to protect his
property, prevent burglary, etc.
In the case against Tom O'Neal a
fine of $25 and costs was imposed. The
case against Leonard Adcock was dis
missed, it being proved that he went
into his saloon to get an overcoat for
man who had left it there. While
this could not be counted case of
extreme necessity, the Judge accepted
it as an excuse this time, but informed
the defendant more fully in regard
to the law, in order that he might
govern himself accordingly hereafter.
In the case against Jerry Walker. the
defendant admitted that he had en-
tered his saloon, not only once but sew
eral times, but contended he had
right to do so any time he pleased and
that the city had no right to prevent
him. The Judge imposed a fine of
$50 and costs in his case. and both
O'Neal and Walker. through their
attorney, j. G. VOORHEES,, appealed to
the Circuit Court.

MINORITY REPORT
On Philippine Tariff Bill Submitted
by Mr. Cafmack.

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Car
mack today submitted minority re-
port from the committee on the Phil
ippines tariff bill. 1t says that opposi-
ton to the matter is not based on any
mere question of revenue or any theory
concerning forms and principles of
taxation, but because the bill violates
constitutional rights and transcends
the limits of constitutional power.
The objection of the minority is to the
whole policy of colonial empire, to the
CONTROL by this government of vassal
provinces, to the spirit of military ag-
gression and of war for the SAKE of
spoils. The report says that the bill
reported by the majority of the COM
mittee is characteristic manifesto
ton of such a policy ana spirit.
Mr. Carmack's minority report had
been accepted as it was the fullest
expression and more nearly met the
views of the Democratic members.
