To say that all of this has been dorN
without encroachment upon the rights of
individuals and communities in many in
stances is to ascribe to human agencies
an infallibility which they do not pos

should not condemn all.
The state is potent. 1t possesses the
power to hold within proper and legitimate
restraint all agencies, individual and cor

Our development Is the result of the

1t is the result of the action of great

NOVEL CASE In COURT
CAN RAILWAYS BE COMPELLED To
FURNISH ENOUGH CARsf
Question of Interest to Manufacturers
and Others Who Ship Their
Products by Rail.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. S.-Judge r. S.
Fraser. in Common Pleas Court No. 2. to-
day heard arguments in the mandamus pro-
ceedngs of the Clyde Coal Company against
the Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad Com
pany. The case is of vital interest to man
ufacturers and others who ship their pro-
ductions by rail, and never before in this
State, and as far be ascertained in
this country, has the same question arisen.
1t is merely the question as to whether a
corporation can compel railroad corpora
tion TO furnish sufficient cars to carry on it's
industry. Many questions of law were SUBJ
mitted to Judge Fraser to-day, after which
the court took the papers.
The prayer of the petitioner is that the
railroad company be required 10 furnish it
with as rapidly as its demands may
require, and promptly meet all calls for
cars; and il 1t cannot meet all calls for cars
it shall furnish them ratably and fairly to
the Clyde Coal Company. The coal COM
pany claimed that it at first had been fur
nished sufficient number of cars, but
later by orders of the railroad officials the
cars were refused, but no valid reason was
given. Finding itself without sufficient cars
TO carry on its coal business the Clyde Coal
Company took the matter into court.
The defense argued that the Clyde Coal
Company is not and never has been a reg
ular shipper of coal over the railroad, and
that the company's mine and equipment is
designated solely for the shipment of coal
by river. That the plaintiff company SIM
ply seeks to avail itself of the facilities of
the road at such times only as il is unable
to ship by river or when the price of coal
is so high that il may be profitable to do so.
The demand for cars, ii was contended. is
| largely i'm excess OF the ability of the COM
pany to furnish. and IL the plaintiff COM
pany be supplied as is asked i'm the petition
| this must be done to the detriment of other
shippers, and finally complete demoraliza- /
| tion of the lines of the Lake Erie Company.

SLAP AT CHAMBERLAIN
BRITISH TRADES UNION CONGRESS
OPPOSES FISCAL CHANGES.
Says the Secretary's Protection
Scheme Would BE Dangerous to
the Interests of the People.

LEICESTER, England, Sept. Sat to-
gress, President Hornidge declared Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain's suggested changes
in the British fiscal policy were likely to be
most detrimental to the best interests of the
nation. "Dabbling with the principles of free
trade" he asserted, could do no good to the
country at present The land laws, said the
president, caused two-thirds Of the national
misery. He advocated government old-age
pensions.
The following resolution was carried with
only two dissenting votes: THAT this con-
gress strongly condemns the suggested
change by Mr.. Chamberlain in our present
fiscal policy as most mischievous and dan
the country and hereby pledges itself and
effort TO prevent such a change being
brought about"
The announcement of the vote was greeted
with loud cheers. The resolution will be
communicated to the colonial secretary
After a heated discussion an important
passed by 506.000 to 2S5.O00 representa- tive
votes. The resolution was as follows: THAT
this congress heartily indorses the policy of

at the last annual conference of the labor
convention and urges upon all trade union
lists not affiliated to that body to join forth
with, so that the entire labor movement
may be consolidated for definite political
purposes

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Sept. S.-A

afternoon during a sham battle by regular
troops, injuring twenty-four persons, three
fatally. The fatally injured:

All are of Leavenworth Many of those
injured received broken legs. The stand
was put up this morning. Fully 1,500 people
crowded onto it. When the stand went
down with a crash, many were pinned down
under the boards. The confusion was indie
scribable until the regular soldiers formed a
line and kept all back not injured or carine
for those injured. The soldiers. acting un-
der direction of their officers, began taking
care of the injured, and in an hour the in
jured had all been removed.

Haute Republicans are beginning to feel the
lack of Republican newspaper, now that
Mayor Steeg has begun making a campaign
for third term. Within the past few days
it has been said that the mayor will try to
make a point on reduction of the tax rate

troller Buckingham, who is Republican,
the only one i'm the city government by
election, says the rate can be reduced from
$1.06 to $1.O2.
The tip is out that Mayor Steeg will rec

Haute has enjoyed for twenty years. The
Gazette, the Democratic paper, says the
promise of a 81 rate lis soaring the Repub-
licans badly" What is really soaring them
is the misleading way in which the reduc-
ton is represented to the public. The fact
is that the estimates will call for larger ex-
penditures than ever before, and the debt
has been increased during the current year
The tax reduction will be made because the
tax valuation has been increased over
100000.

ARRESTS PROBABLE TODAY.


WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-After delber-
ating for several weeks over a mass OF doc
uments submitted by the postoffice inspec-
tors the federal grand jury I'm this city to-
day returned seven indictments in postal
cases, involving six different persons All
the indictments were kept off the public
record, and both the officials of the district
attorneys office and of the Postoffce De-
partment refused to discuss names or de-
tails of the indictments until the parties in
dicted are arrested The identity of the
indicted individuals thus was left a matter
OF conjecture. 1t is expected that arrests
will occur tomorrow morning, and that
the Postoffice Department will have some
announcement to make during the fore
noon.
The grand jury's action probably marks
the beginning of the end OF the investiga-
tion that has been i'm progress since the
middle of last March. Noluminous evidence
has been laid before the grand jury as the
result of the inquiry. and while the pres

the cases, there yet remains several cases
to be passed upon. When the lattersare dis

evidence of the development OF the hostile
feeling throughout Turkey as a result of
the Macedonian revolution. This Is borne
out by the threatened uprising In Smyrna.
The Turkish embassy to-day received a
dispatch from ConstantinOple, in relation
to the Beirut affair. as follows:
Some OF the orthodox Inhabitants of
Beirut attacked four Mussulmans who were
passing through the Mezrea quarter, fired
upon them, and rioting ensued. The i'm
perial authorities Immediately sent troops
TO the scene of the disturbance, which rut
an end to the strife. One soldier was killed
and three were wounded. One civilian was
killed and one was wounded Order and
tranquility are perfectly maintained in all
parts of the vilayet
A high Turkish official pointed out that
the Christians were the aggreSSors, but he
said it would not have been even surprising
had the Mussulmans precipitated the row,
"for throughout Turkey indignat ton is felt
at the conduct of the revolutionists i'm
Macedonia" The official added: THE
Christians at Beirut have been greatly en-
couraged by the appearance of the Amer
lean squadron the presence of which could
not be regarded sympathetically by the
Mohammedan population. because IL had
come not to pay friendly call, but TO en-
force demands"
1t is understood here that Turkey is
anxious TO induce the United States to
withdraw the American warships from
Turkish waters, believing that such action
would discourage the Christians, who hope
for American intervention, and the Porte is

All the reports received here continue TO
record Turkish excesses In Macedonia. NO
confirmation has been received of the report
of the death of Boris Sarafoff, the revolu-
tionary leader. but should ii be true the
Macedonians will admit that great blow
has been struck at their cause.
No further news regarding the outbreak
at Beirut has been received here. A dis
patch TO the Standard from Constantinople,
dated Sunday, says: THE Turks are much
disturbed by the presence of the American
warships at Beirut and are making every
effort to have them recalled. In spite of all
assertions that the United States only in
