MARE ISLAND
DEALT A BLOW
House Committee Cuts Out
the Appropriation of Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The House
Committee on Naval Affairs to-day cut
out the item of 100000 for the equip
ment of Mare Island Navy Yard, rec
commended by the department and
which is necessary for the building of
the collier which was provided for at
the last session. The action was taken
as the result of a recommendation by
the chief of the Bureau of Naval Con-
struction. A strong and persistent pro-
test will be made against the action
by the California delegation.
The cry for economy and retrench-
ment has become so strong that it is
now declared there will be no river
and harbor bill this session, that it will
be sacrificed to the battleship plan of
the Navy Department. 1t is said the
river and harbor bill will be retarded
in the committees and that the Senate
will delay it to the last minute and
then talk it to death as has been done
before
Chairman Burrows of the House
committee is quoted as declaring an
intention to resign as head of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee if these
tactics are carried out.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 10.
Professor Samuel S. Seward. a mem
Der of the English department Of
Stanford University, in an open letter
to the Daily Palo Alto to-day, ques-
tions the value of the Rhodes scholar
ship to the American student. AS
Professor Seward has been a student
at oxford himself much weight is at
tached to his criticism and the fact
that there is TO be a Stanford appoint
ment to the scholarship in January

vital interest.
Professor Seward questions the
value of three years study in an Eng
lish university under the conditions
imposed by Cecil Rhodes. The work
in this time is elective only to a very
limited extent, and the student is re-
quired TO take over work that he has
done thoroughly in America.

State has brought up against her. She
denied that she was dismayed because
Young was about to leave her and go
to Europe. after having been told by
him, as IL has been alleged, that all
was over between them. On the other
hand, she testified that as a result of
her conference with Young it was
agreed that she should join him in Eng
land and take apartments in the Hotel
Cecil, London, taking care that she
keep her whereabouts a complete Sc
cret from Mrs. Young and Young 5
relatives. An important feature
, brought out was the fact that Young
gave the woman a postal card on which
he wrote his name and address, saying
it was something she might need.
The crowd in the courtroom became
suddenly still when the former show
girl took the stand. The first of her
testimony, relating to herself was given
in a low, even voice, but as she pro-
ceeded her tones became more tense
until, in her account of the fatal cab
ride, her voice filed with tragic ex-

COUPLERS MUST
Be AUTOMATIC
Decision of Supreme Court
Favors the Employees of
Railways of the Country

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-In a de-
cision handed down by Chief Justice
Fuller in the case of Johnson VS.. the
Southern Pacific Railway Company,
the Supreme Court of the United
States to-day practically held that all
cars, including locomotives, should be
equipped with uniform automatic
couplers. The court also held that
dining cars cannot be exempt from
the requirements of the safety appli-
ance law when in use, even though
empty.
The decision is considered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Department of Justice to be a de-
cided step forward in the protection
of railroad employees. Secretary Moss
ley of the commission summarizes the
points decided as follows:
First-That couplers on railroad cars must
automatically and save employees from
going between cars though absolute unifoT-
nifty is not required.
Second-A car, though empty and on a side
track. may be engaged in interstate commerce.
Third-That for the purpose of the safety
appliance law locomotives are cars and that
they required to be equipped with auto
matte couplers
The accident out of which the suit
| grew occurred at Promontory. Utah,
in 1900, when Johnson, who was the
head brakeman on a through passen-
ger train between San Francisco and
ogden, was directed to couple the To-
| comotive to a dining car which was
standing on a sidetrack at that point.
! The engine and car were equipped re-
| spectively with the Jenney coupler
and the Miller hook. but they did not
work together and Johnson was COM
PEELED to go between the cars, with
| the result that his hand was so badly
mashed that amputation became nee
essary. He brought suit for damages
but both the Circuit Court for the
! District of Utah and the Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Cir
! cult decided against him. To-day
! opinion reverses both these judg-
ments and orders a new trial.

at the track until after the sixth race.
