SOLDIER BOYS
ARE EASY GAME
General Macarthur Says It
Keeps Army Busy Getting
Them Out of San Francisco

WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-The feature
Of the annual report of Major General
Arthur Macarthur, commanding the
Department Of California, is the strong
language used in reference to the treat
ment in San Francisco of the soldiers
returning from the Philippines and
mustered out there. He says the great
est matter of concern which occupies
the attention of the department is to
get the soldiers returning from the
Philippines into possession of their
money due on their final payments and
safely out of the city before they can
be swindled. The ingenuity of the
criminal classes Of San Francisco to eff
feet this purpose, he says, and the sim
plicity and apparent inability of the
soldiers to protect themselves are alike
amazing.
Everything has been done in the
premises that is possible in behalf of
the soldiers interests. Quoting from
Colonel Markley, the chief paymaster,
on this subject, General Macarthur
writes:
The stupidity and imbecility of these
short term men coming from the
Philippines is almost unbelievable.
Young Americans, amply able to take
care of themselves anywhere I'M
DER any circumstances while in
service abroad, seem to take
leave Of their senses when they
arrive on United States soil and Will
ingly become the prey of the sharks
found in every big city. Instances and
figures could be given TO prove that out
Of 200 Of these men paid off and permit
ted to go to the city on the evening
boat, with railroad tickets purchased
and money orders payable to them
selves at their homes). fifty would turn
up next morning robbed Of everything.
many dangerously injured by blows
and drugs. On one occasion out of
thirty-One men who foolishly stayed
over one night, nineteen turned up next
morning beaten, robbed of tickets, or
ders and clothes
A satisfactory wireless telegraph
system has been maintained at Fort
Mason and Alcatraz Island, the details
being very much improved in design
by the operator in charge.
General Macarthur, in conclusion.
commends the staff officers for excel
lent service.

WATSON'S PLAN
TO BEAT PARKER
Will Make His Fight in
the Doubtful States of
New York and New jersey

NEW YORK, Sept. 3. - Following
their plan TO make their fight in the de-
batable States, the electoral votes Of
which will decide the Presidential con-
test. the adherents of Thomas E. Wat
son. are preparing their campaign in
New York and New Jersey. In the
opinion Of many of the Republican
leaders the Watson movement is a mis-
take, because it may draw as many
votes from the Republican as from the
Democratic electors.
The call for a Populist State conven-
ton in New Jersey, issued to-day, like
Watson's speech of acceptance, teens
with denunciation Of the Democrats,
but allows the Republicans TO go un-
scathed. The call summons all the
Jersey Populists TO meet in mass con-
vention in Atlantic City next Saturday
to place a full ticket in the field.
The nominee of the St Louis con-
vention for the office Of President does
not represent the tenets of true Democ-
racy," the call declares. His silence
upon the most vital questions of civil
policy before and after the convention,
is significant of the nominees insin-
cerity and uncertainty. His eleventh
hour telegram TO the convention on
the money question was a Wall street
inspiration. The management of the
Democratic party by August Belmont
and Judge Parker's allegiance to his
managers shcw the degradation of the
Democratic party and the subservience
Of its candidates.
The platform adopted at St Louis,
as interpreted by the Presidential nom
inee and his sponsors, Hill and Shee-
han, presents no appreciate difference
from the Republican platform. In eff
feet, it manifestly seeks to evade an
honest utterance upon living isues. 1t
is an apology and not a platform.
IL is expected that a similar cali
viii be issued in this State within the
npNf few DAYS

trials, has lived up to his reputation
for speed and has been installed stake
favorite at odds of to in the over
night betting. He led Dr. F. P. Clark's
Son of Erin three lengths and won de-
cisively in a trial lasting but nineteen
seconds With ordinary coursing luck
the son of Rocker-Gallant Foe should
experience no difficulty in winning to-
day.

Rocked Asleep, Belle Marie and La
Rosa. At the top Panoche is we'll

Gold at the same price. d r after be-
ing led by Sampler beat him, the fol-
lowers of the outsider getting to l for
their money Siroc defeated the l to
choice Angus Cissus by a wide margin.
In the betting on the result of the
stake Rocked Asleep is at to /; Rusty
Anchor, Panoche and Sunny Brook 6.

After temporary assistance by physl-

most seriously hurt were taken in am
balances to the City Hospital, while the
others received attention at their
homes. All the injured will recover.
The Wabash train was returning to
Union station from the Worlds Fair
grounds at the rate of about twenty
miles an hour, it is stated. The street
car, which was on its way to the sub
urbs with a load of people, stopped di-
rectly in front of the engine and was
cut in two. The trucks of the car were
knocked 100 feet away, while part of its
roof was carried 100 feet farther by the
train Bodies of the dead and injured,
with the wreckage of the dismantled
car. were scattered along the track for
a long distance.
A w. Burdick, engineer of the train,
who blames the motorman of the cleo
trio car for the accident, said:
Il was within 100 yards of the Sub
urban crossing when L saw the Sub
urban car start across the track. 1t
looked to me as if it had ample time to
get across"
The Waterman and flagman at the
crossing and some of the passengers
confirm the statement that the car
stopped, started across the railroad
track and then stopped where it was
struck.
No satisfactory explanation has been
given why the car stopped in the mid
die of the track after it started across.

CLEAR TWENTY MILLIONS
IN TIMBER LANDS DEAL,
Rise in the Value OF Washington Hold
ings Gives Stockholders Immense
Profit on Their Investment,

Il
TACOMA, Sept. 3.-Less than twenty
men have made more than twenty mil
lion dollars during the last four years
by the rise in the value of Washington
timber lands. Learning that the
Northern Pacific Railway was willing
to sell its holdings in this State. Fred
erick Weyerhauser. a lumber king of
the Upper Mississippi Valley, formed a
syndicate four years ago and called for
subscriptions to the company's CAPITAL
stock. Fourteen millions were sub
scribed and only six millions ac-
cepted. The paid up capital stock has
gradually been increased to twelve and
half millions. The lands purchased
of the Northern Pacific comprised the
finest body of timber in the State. its
value being greatly augmented because
held in large continuous tracts. Suisse
quently several hundred thousand acres
of land were purchased from timber
claim owners and mill concerns willing
to sell. The compGny's property is now
valued at more than $50 000. 000 Re-
Gently some of its stock was sold at
$3.50 a share. The members of the com
pany say that within a comparatively
few years their timber will easily be
worth $50, 900, 000 The stockholders
comprise lumbermen of Minnesota.
Wisconsin and Iowa, including Freder-
lex Weyerhauser, president. and r. l..
