MAJOR CARRINGTON is
ORDERED TO ISLANDS
Commander OF Philippine Scouts Will
Not Go to st. Louis, as He
Anticinated.


When Major Frank de L. Darlington
received his sudden orders to return TO
Manila he muttered to himself: We'll,
the unexpected always happens.
Major Darlington came from the
Philippines with the provisional bat
talon of. scouts, with the expectancy
of taking them to the st. Louis Expo
sition. He was naturally greatly sur
prised when the orders came yester-
day morning ordering him to sail back
by the transport Logan, which leaves
here on Tuesday. Why the Govern
ment wants him to return is mystery
to the major and army officers in gen
eral. He had made all his arrange
ments for a summer campaign at st.
Louis, where he expected to give many
interesting and instructive drills. He
is very proud of the scouts and he has
occasion to be- He has worked long
and hard to get them up to their pres
ent degree of proficiency and natur-
ally he is disappointed to think that
he will not be on the exposition
grounds to show the results of his
work while in the islands. 1t is pos
sible that the War Department may
think he has been so successful in his
work with his battalion that it may
want him to Superintend the drilling
of others. At any rate, much to his
regret, he is going back to report to
the commanding general of the Philip
pine division.

LEG FRACTURED AND FOOT
CRUSHED BY STEEL BILLET
Harry l.. Simon. Prominent in Frater-
nal Circles, Meets With Mishap
That Results Seriously.

Harry L. Simon, shipping clerk for
Abner Doble & Co., 200 Fremont
street, met with a mishap Thursday
afternoon and as the result lies at the
German Hospital in a serious condi-
ton.
At the time of the accident Simon
was standing on a steel billet on the
Fremont-street side of the establish
ment, watching a four-horse truck
back into place. One end of the i'm
mense mass of steel which weighs
1857 pounds, was raised off the side
walk and the driver of the truck, in
backing, struck this, causing Simon to
lose his balance. The billet dropped
on Simon's left leg, breaking it be-
tween the ankle and the knee and
crushing all of the bones in the foot.
The injured man was removed to the
German Hospital and the physicians
are not prepared to express an opin-
ion whether amputation will be nee
essary.
The injured man is we'll known in
fraternal circles, filling the Office of
grand junior woodward in the For
esters of America and president of FL
Dorado Council of the National Union.

REFUSES TO SIGN BILL
FOR FREE FLOWER MARKETS
Mayor Schmitz Believes Ordinance Is
Illegal and Withholds His Formal
ADDrOyaI of Measure.

Mayor Schmitz yesterday returned,
without his signature, the ordinance
passed by the Board of Supervisors
providing for the establishment of free
public flower markets. Under the pro-
visions of the charter the ordinance
becomes a law without the Mayors
signature, the ten days allowed him
to take action having expired.
The Mayor did not exercise his
power of veto, but considers the ordi-
nance is in conflict with the charter,
which forbids the granting of special
privileges, his reasons for not signing
the measure having been fully set
forth heretofore.

SAVING OF ulslauCt VIA odH IdIICIsCU'
GREAT GLOBE SHOWING.

All these figures will be displayed
conspicuously, with the routes of trav-
el. on a half globe representing the
northern hemisphere, upon which is de-
lineated the political and commercial
geography of that part of the world
that lies north of the equator. The
ocean routes Of sailing south of the
equator will lose practically all COM
mercial significance after the Panama
canal is completed. The canal is 10
degrees north of the equator. Ninety
five per cent of the population Of the
world lives north of the equator and
IS per cent Of the commerce generated
by the industry of mankind originates
north of 10 degrees north latitude, or
north of the line Of the Panama canal.
Since practically the entire human
family resides north Of the equator, the
lines of commerce follow the parallels
Of latitude The lines of commercial
geography lie east and west upon the
commercial map of the world and are
DETECTED only by intervening objects.
East and west commerce between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans has stood
charged with an unnatural detour
around South America, comprising, as
will be demonstrated upon the globe
which the committee on display will
exhibit at st. Louis, a detour of 1871
miles.
The canal being at the very south
ernmost limit of these east and west
lines of commerce, takes the place here
tofore occupied by the Straits of Ma
gellan. As already indicated, this point
is 10 degrees north of the equator;
hence the commerce of the world in
all the great hereafter by virtue of the
Suez and Panama canals will disregard
the southern hemisphere.
The exhibit constructed by the dis
play committee consists Of a half globe
feet in diameter that is "a feet in cir
cumference at the equator. On the
globe the distances of sailing routes are
given, both by the Straits of Magellan,
the Suez canal and the Panama canal.
The new commercial lines coming into
being by the construction of the Pan
anna line are worked cut and furnished
by c. A. Converse, chief of the Bu-
reau of Equipment of the Navy De-
/ partment of Washington.
