In the advertising campaign
there should be DO truce. While
the merchant lives and remains
in business there comes no time
when he can safely lay down
his arms. If he ceases advertis-
ing for a single day he gives his
competitors an advantage. If
he stops for a month he has
started on the road which leads
to discontinue and ultimate OBJ
hvion.
Advertising is usually cumula-
tive in its effect. It is true that
mercantile advertising, If judi
ciously done, will bring returns

In the damage suit of Dong
Chong W. Honolulu Rapid Transi t
Co, to recover $l2s.75 for damages
to q team struck by car, the
Supreme Court has fled decision
in favor of the defendant corpora
ton. The decision concludes as
follows:
"The defendant in running its
electric cars has no such superior
rights as will permit it to run it's
cars wilfully over persons or into
teams upon or near it's tracks even
though they are there through
negligence. On the other hand,
rapid transit has become public
necessity, and electric cars cannot
turn out. These conditions are gsusr-
ally known and persons using the
streets must act accordingly. They
cannot rightfully obstruct the cars
nor can they place themselves or
their property in positions on or
near the tracks OF the cars except at
their own risk, subject the exercise
OF due care on the part of those
running the cars. If they are guilty
of negligence which proximately
contributes to the injury, they can.
not recover"

STRONG SAFE
FOILS ROBBERS
Office of the American
Consul General in Paris
Is Ransacked by Thieves
OBTAIN LITTLE BOOTY
Burglars Efforts Net Them
Only Few Hundred Francs
and Some Postage Stamps

PARIS, Aug. 10-Conul General Cow
dy on arriving at the American consul
late to-day found that his private desk
had been forced, the woodwork badly
smashed, petty cash and postage
stamps amounting to several hundred
francs distracted and his papers ran
sacked. The big safe of the consulate
bore suspicious traces of unsuccessful
attempts to force it open. The safe con-
tanned a large sum in cash and i'm
portant documents.
The consulate occupies a handsome
suite of rooms on the third floor of SO
Avenue de POpera, one of the finest
streets in Paris. The building is de-
voted to offices, nobody except the jan
itor residing there.
The burglars gave their attention to
Gowdy's private Office, in which are a
large desk and a strong safe. The
former was partly wrecked, the draw
ers being forced the woodwork splin-
tered, the papers turned out and let
ters even being dragged out of their en-
velopes. Luckily none of the drawers
contained anything valuable, beyond
a few hundred francs, the petty cash
and postage stamps, which were car
ried off.
The safe, which the robbers failed to
open, contained about $4,000, besides i'm
portant documents.

LETTER ACTS
As OWN GUARD
Millionaire Personally Con-
ducts Contingent of West
Virginia Miners to Plant
ARMED WITH REVOLVER
Union Men Wait for Train,
but Give Up the Watch
After Keeping Long Vigil
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CARBONDALE H., Aug. 10
Shortly after o'clock this morning in
a car Of the Wheeling and Erie Rail
road, Joseph Letter, armed with a
Colts revolver, personally conducted a
contingent Of thirty nine West Vir-
ginia coal miners 10 his plant at Zeig-
Ter. The coming of the train was
known to the union miners at Pinck-
neyville and Duquoin, but after keep
ing up a vigil until nearly 3 o'clock in
the morning the men gave up the task,
thinking the report was untrue.
On the train Letter talked freely and
mingled with the men. He was in
buoyant spirits. Up TO date the sum
total Of the large contingent from
West Virginia which he has publicly
proclaimed would man his shaft is
sixty, and many Of the men who first
went in have quit. They refuse to
work where they are not permitted to
make a garden or own domestic ami
mails, or where they are not permitted
TO own more than their household
goods.
The union officials are elated over
the conditions as they now exist The
contest has been and viii be one with
out bloOdshed. They point TO the fact,
which has been verified. that over 60
per cent Of the men who have gone
into Zeigler have quit. and from those
who have come out they learn that not
a man, unless it be the guards, will re-
main longer than is necessary to get a
stake. The conditions are so absolutely
different to those Of any other Ameri-
can plant that the American miners
Will not remain. Tonight another con-
tingent viii be landed.

Special Dispatch to The CAN.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 10.-Saying that
they could not stand the sanitary con-
ditions at the Schwarzchild & Sulz-
berger packing plant and alleging that
the officers of the company had broken
faith with them regarding wages, forty
one men picked UP by Murray &
Ready, the Schwarzchild & SuIzberger
agents at San Francisco, walked out Of
the plant of that company this morn
ing, notwithstanding the efforts of the
boss to prevent them, and joined the
ranks of the strikers. 1t was the bag
gage of these men that was DESTROYED
by a gang of strikers yesterday, and
every man in the party says he will not
only enter suit against the Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger company for the
loss of the effects, but will also seek
to recover the wages promised by the
agents.
According to their statement of the
agreement they were to receive So a
day for every day they were on the
road and S. a day when they reached
Kansas City.
In speaking of conditions at the
Schwarzchild & Sulzberger plant, the
men claimed the sleeping-rooms were
so filthy that many of them went out
of doors at night and lay on the bare
ground.
One of the men lost his crop, contain
ing $15S in cash, and a German who
had been in this country only a short
time lost $4,000 worth of bonds and
mortgages and other valuable papers
when their baggage was thrown into

Defeat Proposed Law FOrbidding
Union Men Joining Militia

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.-In the con-

graphical Union to-day there came up
the proposition that no member of the
International Typographical Union
shall enlist in the service of any State
in the United States as State guard,
militiaman or ranger, under the PEN
atty OF expulsion and being barred
from reinstatement. On this PROPOSE
ton the committee on laws had re-
ported ,unfavorably. As sentiment
against this unfavorable report arose
in the convention Delegate Anderson
of Macon, Ga, chairman of the com
mittee on laws, jumped TO his feet.
When in a patriotic address he quoted
the famous lines of Sir Walter Scott:
Breathes there q with soul dead
Who never TO himself hath said;
This is my own, my native land?
The climax was reached. Cheers re-
sounded through the hall and by an
overwhelming majority the conven-
ton decided that nothing should be
done to prevent members of the In
ternational Typographical Union fight
ing for the Stars and Stripes.

CALIFORNIA; OLDEST
MAN PASSES AWAY
jesus Arenas, Who Was 12O Years
Old, Buried in San
lose

SAN JOSE, Aug. 9.-Jesus Arenas,
believed to be the oldest man in Cali
fornia, was buried here to-day. He
was a native of Mexico and between lis
and 120 years old. Arenas had been a
resident of California for over eighty
years. He served in the Mexican army
against Spain In the war of 1910.
Arenas was wounded with a saber in
the leg and was thanked by his Gov
ernment for bravery.
In the early twenties he came to
California. About the time of the dis
covery of gold Arenas took up a large
section of land which is now covered
with Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda.
There is no doubt that the man was
nearly 120 years of age.
