Mrs. Hayes ordered her husband
out of their room and placed his per-

might call for them. Mr.. Hayes is
now living at another hotel and Mrs.
Hayes is making preparations to go
to the home of her sister in Michi-

OIL as Fuel.

The many oil discoveries during the
past few years would seem to indicate
an almost inexhaustible supply, and
as a result much of it is being used
for fuel purposes. Experiments have
proven that it is just as serviceable as
coal, but considerably cheaper. There
are many people, however. who will
always prefer the coal, just as there
are many people who prefer taking

Big Order for EnRines.

The management of the Rock ISL
and road has given what is undoubt-
eddy the largest single order on re-
cord for engines.
The order is for 225 locomotives to
be divided between the passenger and
freight service, and the total cost will
be about $4,OOO,OOO.
This large expenditure for power is
made necessary by the enormous in
creased traffic of the system and by
new construction and the acquisition
of new lines which are in need of
power.

Six Weeks In Session.

For over six weeks the board of adj
justment and General Manager c. A.
GOodnow of the road have been in
consultation. The agreement that is
now in force was framed in 1887 and
readjusted in 1898. This provided for
a scale of $3.50 a day for passenger
engineers and four cents a mile for
the freight men. The growth of the
road and the earning capacity of the
men made this rate unjust and by
joint consent it was changed.
In the conference with the officials
of the road the men asserted that
when the present agreement was
signed, the engines were small, the
trips longer and the trains had but
few cars. Now big engines are used,
the strain on the engineer has grown
and the responsibility has practically
doubled. In addition to this, claims
were made that living expenses are
now higher.

Engineers:

But Men on Fast Runs Will Receive
500 to $50 q Month Each
Additional.

Locomotive engineers on the Chica-

have been granted an aggregate wage
increase of S25O,OOO a year. In addi-
ton to this, many concessions were
made on running schedules and work
classification, giving the men one of
the best working agreements in the
country.
The wage increase amounts to 10
per cent, but in many cases will add
from $50 to $50 Il month each to the
pay of engineers having fast runs. 1t
affects between 900 and 200 men, and
goes into effect the first of next
month, to be changed only after a
joint conference of the representa-
tives of the road and the general
board of adjustment of the men.

New Rate of Wages.

These facts were conceded and the
new schedule was arranged. This pro
vides that engineers on passenger en-
gines of the eight-wheel class, with
cylinders of Is to 20 inches, shall re-
ceive from 1910 TO $3.50 for 100 miles
or less of travel. Engineers on en-
gines of the siX-wheel class, with cyl
inders of IS to 81 inches, shall re-
ceive $500 for 100 miles of travel.
In the freight service conditions are
much the same. The engineers on
freight engines of the eight-wheel
class will receive from 81 to $4.25 for
100 miles of travel. Engineers on the
siX-wheel engines will receive S4.20 to
$3.50. The pay on switch engines var
les from $3.50 to $40 for 10 hours or
less of work, while suburban engin-
GERS are to get $4.44 a day for 100
miles or less.

Couldn't Stand 1t.

After filling up for three nights
with the rapid-fire of straights and
cocktails and fixes and schnitz that
lasted until or O clock in the morn
ing, Miss Ray got desperate. and on
the fourth night fed to the house of
detention. Needless to say, when she
fell into the hands of Mrs. Hill her
troubles were over.
Charles L. Kindt, of the Burtis, was
one of those upon whom Mrs. Hill
called to see what could be done for
Miss Ray. She knew that Mr.. Kindt's
experience in the theatrical profess
sion would be good for some good adj
vice. Mr.. kindt proved good for more
than that, for he furnished Transport
tation for the young lady to her
home.
Miss Ray proved herself a refined
girl of much more than the average
intelligence. and the horror which she
showed of the life she had to lead was
certainly to her credit Rev. Z. A.
Montgomery, who took an interest in
her plight as soon as word was taken
to him at her request, her family hav-
ing had church connections which led
u
pal minister. 1t was in conformity
with the earnest counsel of Rev.
Montgomery and Mrs. Hill that the
girl decided to go straight home, and
if she follows their counsel to the
end she will not return to a life which
offers SO wide path of degradation
as that which ruined the girl friend
whom she had to leave behind.

Clay Woodward, proprietor of the
Iowa theatre, when asked for state
ment in regard TO Miss Rays story,
stated that she was discharged on ac-
count of incompetency. He also as

the Iowa need give her shock. He

.SARGENI'S NEW PLAN
TO WATCH INhIGRAN IS
Border Line Stations at Four Prin-
cipal Points.

Commissioner Sargent, of the Bureau
of immigration. of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, has undertaken
the enforcement % an elaborate plan to
check illegal immigration into the
United States by the Canadian boundary
route. He has ordered the establishment
of four immigration stations along the
border and has entered into an agree
ment with the Canadian Pacific Railway
TO deliver immigrants at one of these
American stations, instead of, as form
erly, at Montreal.
Good results of Mr. Sargent's plan are
anticipated without any long trial of the
new regulations. One station has al
ready been established at Malone. n. Y.
with an officer in charge. and nearly
dozen other officials to question immi-
grants applying there for permission TO
enter the United States and to keep out
diseased and pauper applicants. The
chief reason for the adoption OF the
plan is to examine Chinese coming to
Vancouver and other Canadian ports on
the Pacific and subject them to the
same regulations as are enforced at San
Francisco. Heretofore these immigrants
have been taken all the way across the
continent to Montreal. and there coach
ed by smugglers in order TO gain admit
tance to this country in spite Of adverse
regulations
In the future prospective immigrants
will be carried by the railroad company
TO whichever of the following stations
is nearest: Malone. n. Y; Richford.
Vt; Portland, n. D.; Seumas. Wash.
The three stations last named have not
yet been established. but will be opened
in short time. Their establishment
will obviate the further payment Of de-
portation bills ranging from S50,000 20
$50 900 annually at Montreal under the
present methods OF handling the immi-
grafton traffic there.

SECRECY ABOUT GERMAN
CLAIMS AGAINST CUBA
Vague Talk About Them Abroad.
Nothing Known Here.

One of the most puzzling diplomatic
questions which has engaged the atten-
tion of officials in Washington in a long
time is the subject of German claims
against Cuba. From Berlin there has
been sent out a dispatch that the first
duty of the new German minister to
Cuba will be TO take up the subject of
claims by subjects of the Fatherland
against the new island republic. This
has occasioned much surprise in certain
interested quarters.
Minister Quesada. when asked about
Cuba's position in.the matter. said he
knew nothing OF any such claims being
In existence. No news has come to him
here. he said. and whatever action is
taken will. of course, be at Havana.
An official of the German embassy
sale no official information had been
sent here regarding any such claims 10
be handled by the new German minister
10 Cuba on his arrival in Havana. There
was no reason. he said, to expect any
reference Of such matters TO the en-
bassy here.
Il suppose there may be such claims, -
he continued. growing out of state OF
war in Cuba. but IL is not matter com
ing before the officials of the embassy
here. and we have heard nothing in the
matter"
According to unofficial advices from
Havana. Baron Won Richthofen. the inn
perial German secretary OF foreign af-
fairs. substantiated the report in a con-
versation with the German consul gen
eral at Hamburg. and the Cuban govern
ment, on hearing this, instructed It's
minister here TO confer with the Ameri-
can army officials who were stationed
in Cuba during the war.

RAILROAD MEN MEET
TO FIX NEW RATES
Southern Officers Gather at the
Raleigh Hotel.

The conference of freight officials of
the Atlantic Coast Line. the Southern
Railroad and the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, held for the purpose of equalizing
rates, was continued today at the Hotel
Raleigh.
The conference began late yesterday
afternoon. but as no decision was reach
ed. it was decided TO continue the meet
ing.
The Atlantic Coast Line is represented
by IT. NJ. Emerson. the traffic manager;
James Menzies. general freight agent for
all divisions south of Savannah; J. w.
Perrin. assistant general freight agent
for the divisions north of Charleston.
and W. L. Radiord. who represents the
railroad and steamship company in New
York
W. A. Turk, traffic manager; E. A.
Neil, general freight agent of Atlanta.
and a number OF local officers are rep
resenting the Southern.
All of the general officers of the
steamship company are in attendance.
Freight rates on fruit and other com
yannah were discussed. II seems that
the steamship company has been cut
ting into the business so rapidly that
the roads thought it better to make
some equitable arrangement.
The country drained by the roads and
steamship company is being developed
with record breaking rapidity. the At
lantic Coast Line recently carrying 1000
car loads of berries out of a district
hat up TO four years ago had been q
wilderness since the war. The same
growth has taken place all over the
Southeast, and the railroads desire to
fix rates on produce before any chance
of rate war develops.
It was said today that no attempt
would be made to raise rates, but tina:
they would be equalized. and that the
steamship company would deal with the
Southern on the same basis as II has
been doing with the Atlantic Coast Line.
