NEGRO ATTACKS
TRAINED NURSE

Complaints have been made from time
to time to the police about a big, burly
negro attempting to assault women and
girls in the Western Addition, but he has
always succeeded in escaping the vigil
ance of the police. The complaints have
as a rule come from the district between
Laguna and Fillmore streets and Califor-
mia and Washington streets.
The latest complaint comes from Miss
Emma Bell, trained nurse at the Lane
Hospital. She reports that while she was
about to enter the hospital from Clay
street a few minutes before o'clock
Wednesday morning a negro about 50
years of age seized her by the left arm
He did not utter a word. He tried to
throw his other arm around her waist
and she screamed loudly for help as she
struggled to free herself from his grasp.
The negro, with muttered oath re-
leased his hold and ran along Clay street
in the direction of Buchanan street.
Miss Bell thought the negros intention
was to rob her, but he failed in his pur-
pose There was no one near them at
the time She describes him as about six
feet tall, broad shouldered. and thought
he had a mustache, but she was not sure
He wore a black derby hat, but could
not say what color of clothes. She feels
satisfied, however, that she could identify
him if she saw him again. She was
very much unnerved by her encounter
with the negro and did not report the
matter till Thursday afternoon.
Captain Martin has detailed two of his
men to keep lookout in that district
for a negro answering that description
and TO bring him in if they should come
across him.

Roosevelt and the Trusts.

1t will take more than the unsup-
ported testimony of administration
Washington correspondents to con-
vince a skeptical world that President
Roosevelt is prancing up and down In
a passionate determination to cut on
the trust party from its base OF sup
plies. For as the OK knoweth his
masters crib, so the great Theodore
knows where the campaign funds come
from. He knows who yields the fat.
He knows who furnishes the free ex'
cursion trains and the money to round
up the delegates. And he has had
sufficient experience in practical Han
ia politics to feel no uncertainty as to
what would happen to the Roosevelt
band wagon next year If something
should chance to go wrong with the
supply of grease for the axles.

The Sacrosanct Tariff.

We perceive also in current revela-
tions of the protectionist spirit the
tendency of superstition or false
doctrine to grow more intolerant and
extravagant with time. Won Hoist has
showed beautifully how this worked
in the case of slavery in the South.
From being thought temporary evil
It came to be held as, first, an econo-
mic necessity, then social advantage,
and finally divine institution, big
with blessing to black and white and
against which it was sacrilege and
treason combined to lisp a syllable.
So we have seen protectionism grow
from the Infant industry" stage, a
policy to be apologized for as pass
ing necessity, until it has become the
sacrosanct thing we now see 1t to be
regarded York Evening Post.

FACTS ARE HIDDEN
SECRETS OF CARNEGIE WORKS
WELL GUARDED.
Matters That Have Come to Light
Show That This Tariff-Enriched Nil.
lionalre 10 Generous Before He Is
Just-The Moseiy Commission.

The Mosely commission, which has
Just returned to London after an in
spection of labor conditions in the
United States, has made an instruc-
tive report.
When the commission visited the
Carnegie works the members were
forbidden to make notes or to take
photographs. This disclosure has nec-
essarily made sensation In the coun-
try where Carnegie was recently hob
nobbing with the king and where his
name has been trumpeted as an extra
ordinary benefactor Of the human
race.
The prohibition at the Carnegie
works of privileges cheerfully granted
in every other American establish
ment visited by the Mosely commits
sion was due to the need of protecting
Carnegie's reputation by suppression
of truth.
The condition Of the families whose
bread winners are engaged in the Car.
negie works the Mosely commission
found unspeakable. The descriptive
details match the shocking particulars
brought out by the miners representa-
tives before the anthracite commits
sion.
The report of the Mosely commission
says that IF Mr.. Carnegie would get
the workers children shod, pave the
streets and put windows In the win
dowless houses he would do more for
the good of humanity than by endow'
ing libraries"
The pinchbeck pretensions of this
tariff beneficiary as philanthropist
thus receive International illumina
ton. He is generous before he is Just
The same description applies to the
whole category of tariff-enriched men
whose fame is being trumpeted be
cause they give way to the people who
do not need aims usurious profits
which the tariff enables them to rear
from the sweat of their employees.

Discoverv Of an Ancient Bible.

Oldest extant, was discovered lately
in Syria and is now in safe keeping at
Cairo. 1t comprises the Pentateuch.
written in Samaritan characters on
gazelle parchment, and its date in the
year 113 of the Moslem era, which is
equivalent to the year 735'A. D. 1t Is
declared far older than any Of the
Hebrew biblical manuscripts in the
Libraries of Europe or America. It Is
stated that the oldest manuscript in
the British museum is Of the year 1889
A. D., and this has hitherto been sup
posed to be the oldest in the world.
The newly discovered manuscript con-

What Has Made Sugar Cheap.

President Havemeyer of the sugar
trust has been telling his stockholders
about the reduction in the price OF
sugar since the formation of that sac,
charine combination. What has made
il cheaper than it was in 1887 is the
trebling of beet sugar production, in.
crease of can sugar and the compete
ton of an independent refinery. But
the Dingleyites saw to 1t that the peo'
ple did not get all the benefit of the
cheapening of raw sugar by increased
production. They only cut the duty
from two cents. These cold facts
ought to demonstrate that neither the
trust nor the tariff has cheapened SUI

Either Guilty or Incompetent.

Either the operators of coal mines,
both independents and trustees Of
Providence are deliberately abusing
their privilege of exclusive access to
the fuel stored by nature for the use
of mankind or they are incompetent to
manage the business intrusted to them
by society. They have prated enough
about vested rights" and their pri-
vate business. Utilization of natural
stores of mineral wealth indispensable
to all the, people is not their private
business and society is showing dis
position to deny that there is any such
thing as a vested right" to lock uI

Following a whizzing gale from the
southeast a wall Of water arose from
the ocean and sweeping westward
buried the eighty islands of the Pau
motu group in smother of foam.
Trees were uprooted, rocks were
torn from their foundations and of the
many people who lived in plenty but
handful is left and their homes are
bare and bleak as desert.
More than 1900 lives have been
blotted out and the islands are laid
waste.
The news of the calamity came to
San Francisco on the Oceanic Steam
ship company's liner Mariposa. The
steamer left Papette. Tahiti. eleven
days ago, and up to the time of her
departure only three islands of the

is feared when the details are found
out the death list will exceed 1900.

belt in the South Pacific about 500
miles east of the island of Tahiti and

and as result Of such examination
have the honor to report that 1t Is In
advisable to consolidate with the

Weather Bureau is wholly meteorolog-
ical and that of the Division OF Sta
tistics wholly statistical. The Wealth

transfer of the statistical work OF the
department to that bureau would In
evitably result in a subordination or
that work to meteorology that woulo
be mischievous in the extreme"
