and then the woman leaped on him as
if crazy. The knife or spoon was
fiourished at him and he managed TO
take it away. both falling to the floor
during the seuffle.
When the knife was thrown out into
the porch, White says the woman pick
ed it up again and began jabbing it
into her thighs, saying she would kill
herself. He says that the wounds
upon her face We're inflicted with her
own finger nails, and a few handfuls
of hair We're likewise torn out by her
self He said the woman practically
became boss of the ranch.
Judge Lindsay, in summing up the
case, said the defendant was not COR
roborated' in his testimony. He found
him guilty. and fined him SO and costs
amounting to $3.50.
After the trial the woman, with hel
baby in her arms appealed to Deputy
Sheriff Chillingworth TO make White
give her some money as she had moth
ing to pay the house rent or provide
herself with food. The Deputy told
her that the only way to do this was
to hire lawyer.

Pacific Rate War Profits.

AS result of the rate war which
has been carried on since early
last summer by the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company in its efforts to drive the
new China Commercial Company out
of business, the regular Oriental lin
ers plying out of Tacoma for Japan
and China, have lost during the months
of September and October alone $751;
46S, according to figures supplied by
a well known steamship man. Both
the Pacific Mail and the China Com
mercial companies operate out of San
Francisco and when they began cut
ting rates on freight to the Orient the
lines operating out of Portland, Taco
ma, and northern ports were dragged
unwillingly into the fight. When the
rate war began the freight on flour
from Tacoma to the Orient was IS per
ton and the rate on wheat Sc per ton.
This was cut to So per ton for flour
and 81 per ton for wheat, at which
figure it has since remained. Ship
perS from Tacoma, as we'll as other
Pacific Coast ports to the Orient, are
mary thousands ahead, however, be-
cause of the rate war.
During the months of September and
October alone the regular liners run
ming from Tacoma to Japan and China
have carried 273,710 barrels of flour
from this port alone, which is 27,371
tons, for the carrying of which they
have been paid a total freight of $S2,-
113. At the old rate of S. per tor
they would have earned for carrying
this amount of flour s136,S55, which
means loss of s54, 742.

William White, an engineer at the
sewer pumping plant, was in police
court yesterday charged with assault
and battery upon G. Rodriques, a Porto
Rican woman, who, according to the
engineers testimony was his house
keeper. The engineer was fined $40
and costs, the testimony of the prose-
cutting witness and that of a neighbor
indicating that White struck the wo-
man on the head several times and
then knocked her down and kicked her
in the back.
The Porto Rican woman, none too
| comedy, appeared in court with an in
FAINT several weeks old. Her testi-
| mony was to the effect that White
arose from bed on Sunday morning
and quarreled with her A scuffle en-
sued. during which White was alleged
to have used her hair as a handle with
| which to haul her about, in the mean
time striking her on the face and head
/ with his fists. A woman neighbor tes-
titled to having looked over the fence
! dividing the two houses, and having
{, witnessed the assault, which she said
was brutal, and not the first of the
kind. She says that when White
struck the Porto Rican, the latter was
cooking and had a kitchen spoon in
/ her hand.

| nothing more than a murderous knife

away. He stated that he was aroused

SCOUTING RATIONS.
One of his first orders in the line of
Commissary of Subsistence duties was to
have me prepare scouting rations. put up
ready for immediate use. We had by this
time received dried meat and good sup
ply of the aforementioned "pinol. pre-
pared by contract in the adjoining Next
can State of Sonora. He had me prepare
10 small canvas sacks or pouches, which
were filed with 10 pounds of pinol and
brown sugar mixed. These, when filed,
looked like a large sausage and could be
strapped upon the saddle, while the 50
small bundles containing four pounds OF
dried meat each. could be accommodated
in the saddle-baSs. where each man also
placed n small ready-made bag containing
onc-half pound of ground coffee for emer-
gencies. These ratiOns were supposed to
be sufficient for 40 men for 10 days; a
scouting party could be thus equipped
ready to take the field within about one
hour. AS we had no pack animals nor
experienced packers, protracted eNpedl-
ton was out of the question with our
garrison.
1t was not long before these scouting
rations were put to the use intended. In

HOW IT is DONE.
illustrated by Composite Story True in
Every Detail

The Senators command the party. If
they are specially interested, in legislation.
they send down their orders TO the Nom,
bers OF the House, and, as a rule. they
are Obeyed. 1t is not always that the or
ders are direct; occasionally the Senator
does not appear; the order comes from the
nominal head of the home machine. Such
command portends much to the Repre-
sentative; it says to him, in effect: '.rhe
Senator has directed his policy to be sun
ported by the State organization, which.
as You quite understand, includes the or
SANITATION of your district, and we shall
therefore be compelled this year to nomi-
nate men who are with him."
