NJ. S. R. RAISES WAGES.
INCREASE, 5 PER CENT.
Part Of General Plan to Improve
Condition of Employees.

The Metropolitan Street Railway Company
yesterday posted notices announcing in
crease of about > per cent in the wages of its
motormen and conductors. The notices posted
read follows:
Motormen and Conductors of Electric Lines:
The management takes pleasure in recogIliz-
ing the faithful and efficient service of the
motormen and conductors in its electric service.
Beginning Sunday January Is, 1903, all
motormen and conductors will be paid at the
following rates:
Motormen-First years service. at the rate Of
50 10 per day; second years service, at the rate
of 81 % per day; third, fourth ana hfth year
service. at the rate of 50 35 per day; after five
years service, at the rate of 50 30 per day.
Conductor5-First years service. at the rate
of 81 per day: second years service, at the
rate of 50 II per day; third, fourth and fifth
years service at the rate of 81 25 per day; after
five years service, at the rate of - 50 per day.
OREN ROOT. Jr.
Assistant General Manager.
The management said that the last previous
increase per cent, was made In June, 1901,
and that the standards established by this
order fixed the wages paid by the Metropolitan
Street Railroad above thus paid by any similar
corporation in America. Generally speaking,
they declared. according to the statistics fur
nished by Robert P. Porter, the Census Director,
the lowest average rate of wages paid in Ameri-
ca for streetcar service was IS per cent better
than that paid for similar service il Europe.
The standard established by the Metro
politan was about S5 per cent higher than the
European average.
The order will affect about 1000 rpen, and is
part of a general scheme adopted some time
ago for the Improvement of the condl ion Of

the trial at Pasig the government
was represented by Mr.. Bassett Of
the attorney generals Office. while
Mr.. Sinclair's interests were looked
after by P. J. Moore of the well
known firm of Moore and Hixon.
The government undertook to
prove that Mr.. Sinclair gave no
personal attention TO the resorts of
the Office. delegating that branch of
mis- duties to subordinates, caring
lutte or nothing what they did pro-
vlded they did not modest him in
his artistic and literary activities.
Mr.. Sinclair claimed he bestowed
upon the clerks all the watchful-
ness he could compatible with re-
spect and gave the records all the
care he could in the light of his in
telligence and other multifarious
official duties.
There was no charge or evidence
in any way affecting Mr.. Sinclair's
honesty either in the charge, the
testimony or the finding of the
court.
The most sensational testimony
was that of Emory II. Fogerty,
former chief clerk in the office of
the treasurer, who swOre that for
six months he had systematically
robbed and lied to the treasurer
and detailed his crooked methods.
He and some of the other clerks
contrived to so alter and obliterate
the records that the most exclusive
and skillful detective work alone
could reveal the thefts. Fogerty is
now in Bilibid prison and three
native deputies who were under his
charge have been convicted Of en-
bezzlement.
1t is generally known that the
case against Mr.. Sinclair has been
hanging fire for a long time-ever
since February. Till recently
there has been a doubt that it
would ever be pressed to trial. At
torney General Whitley was in fa-
vor of dissmissing 1T bat Governor
Taft insisted that the matter be
tried. 1t is said that Mr.. Sinclair
mas been anxious for a trial and
has done everything in his power
to get a hearing. The expense and
humiliation have borne heavily
upon him but it is said that he
will not leave the islands till those
resulting obligations are canceleG
The Manila Cablenews OF Octo-
Der p. says:
AS was forecasted yesterday in
the Cablenews, Bartlett Sinclair
was acquitted by Judge Cross6eld
at Pasig, of the charge of abandon
ment of and carelessnesS in Off e.
Sinclair was formerly treasurer OF
Rial province and it was alleged
] by the government that while n
this petition he was guilty of Grim
inal negligence.
Sinclair was one of the off ,ials
to be victimized by subordinates
and there are plenty of cases like
his now hanging fire in the islands
His native and white assistants
stole right and left and many o
them have already confessed theil
guilt.
Mr.. Sinclair's honesty has no
been at stake at any part of hii
long prosecution. He will return
to the states with untarnished rep
utation that he brought with hin
to these islands.

SINCLAIR ACQUITTED
A Well Known Idahoan
Fully indicated


giving the closing chapter of the
Bartlett Sinclair sensation, con-
corning which there has been SO
much in the newspapers of two
continents. 1t was known month
ago. from a brief cablegram re-
ceived by his family, that Mr.. Sin
clair has been acquitted of the
charge of neglect of duty in his
capacity as treasurer of the PROV
ince of Rial, but the particulars
ale only just at hand, as told IN
the Manila newspapers. The HER
AID publishes herewith two reports
which. in connection with the de-
cision Of the court, seem to be a
complete vindication of Mr.. Sin
clair. Although the case has been
dragging along fer several months
it appears that even the prosecu-
ton became early convinced that
the shortage in the Office was not
due to ENLIGHTENMENT on the part Of
Mr.. Sinclair, subordinates having
either confessed OF been convicted
of the theft of the money. But
the prosecution sought to hold Mr..
Sinclair responsible on the princi-
pie of neglect of duty. Mr.. Sin
clair was able to show that the
neglect of duty was on the part Of
the government in not enling
him an inspector, he having re-
peatedly called for one.
Here in Idaho where he won
fame in state affairs, and particu-
lally at his home in Bonners Ferry,
the result in the case will be read
with great interest. The following
reports will give a clear explana-
ton OF the case, and the comments,
coming as they do from govern
ment organs, are the more signif-
cant.
The Manila Times of Octo Der 81
says:
Bartlett Sinclair, former treasur-
er of Rial province, who was tried
last week in the count of First in
stance on a charge of abandonment
of and careiessness In office, was
acquitted at Pasig by Judge Cross
field.
The findings of the court were
that Mr.. Sinclair had been appoint
ed treasurer in October, 1901, that
he had assumed the office and was
relieved in January 1903. That as
the result of the examin alton which
followed as required by law a dis
crepency was reported amounting
to certain amount. That owing
to the character of the proceedings
the exact amount was not adjudi-
Gated, but that this shortage what
ever it may be, if any, is not due
to carelessness or abandonment on
the part of Mr.. Sinclair.
1t will be remembered that when
the examiners male their report in
January, 1902, Mr.. Sinclair was
arrested by the direct orders Of
Governor Taft under the charge Of
emhezzlement. He was not hello
in custody as a reinvestigation was
ordered. To conduct this investi

A New Invention

A Hattiesburg citizen has invented
q pump, that works automatically, for
drawing water for stock. 1t is the
most simple device in existence. B..
Perkins and A. s. Woods are exhibit
ing the model. 1t is in complete
order and may be seen at work at
Perkins fruit stand. 1t is so COM
plete in simplicity that a lady or
child can draw water with it, by
placing water bucket on platform
under water pipe. A cow or horse or
stock of any kind can draw their own
water by simply walking up to the
trough, their weight on the platform
being the power that forces the water
up. After drinking all they want,
their stepping off causes an automatic
readjustment, leaving it ready for the
next animal.

Hearing Complaints Against
Back Tax Assessment.
Special to the Daily Progress.

0bVFAe4 w W. 1"A~s
jackson, Nov. 4.-The Kinds
county board of supervisors will be
engaged during the next ten days
hearing complaints against the de-
linauent solvent credit assessments
fled by tn, state revenue agent, which
aggregate nearly twelve million dol
lars. This is by far the largest SOL
vent credit assessment made by the
revenue agent in any county, and the
local capitalists and money lenders
whose evidences of the notes and
mortgages have been found on the
deed records are up in arms against
the assessmeent. In all instance they
are attempting to disprove the revenue
agents claim, but it is reasonably
cretain that from twenty to forty pei
cent of the claims filed will stick.
Some Of the assessments date az fal
back as 1886 and unless satisfactory
explanations can be made by the par
ties assessed they will have to pay NJ
in full on all property withheld from
taxation.

MAPPING LEGISLATURES WORK.
Press, Politicians and Public Gen
orally Suggesting Passage of
Needed Measures.

Special to the Daily Progress.
jackson. Nov. - The politicians,
the press and the public generally. are
still bnsily engaged mapping out work
for the legislature at its coming ses-
sion, and the indications are that the
lawmakers will be deluged with bills
early in the session.
The latest suggestion IN the way OF
legislation comes from the Progress
sivs League of Vicksburg which is
advocating the passage of bill max
ing waterworks companies responsible
for damage from fires resulting from
negligence in failing TO maintain
water pressure. Vicksburg has one
Of the weakest waterworks systems
in the state, and this is doubtless the
animus of the measure. The atetmpt
has been made several times III Mis-
sissippi to hold waterworks companies
responsible for fire losses in cases
whore they failed to furnish proper
pressure, but the damage cases in
variably resulted in victory for the
defense. The Vicksburg league also
wants the provision Of section 2948 OF
the CODE. relating to the purchase,
erection or maintenance Of waterworks
extended to all municipal corpora
tions. At present it applies only to
corporations operating under the
code chapter on municipalities, and
not 70 chartered cities and towns.
Another suggestion is to abolish the
Office Of justice of the peace and sub
stitute in lieu thereof county judges
whowill have practically the same jur-
isdiction, but instead of having num-
Der of justices in each county, as is
now the case, to have one judge for
each county. The plan, however,
does not seem to be meeting with such
favor.
