PROMISE TO
REVISE TARIFFS
Railroad Traffic Men Admit
Changes Are Needed.
DONE BY COMMERCIAL CLUB
COMMITTEE MET WITH GREAT
COURTESY.

A revision of the tariffs affecting
Utah has been promised by the traffic
representatives of the railroads enter
ing the state. This result has been ac-
complished by the special committee
OF the Commercial ciub appointed to
take the matter up. 1t viii probably
take six weeks or two months to COM
piete the work contemplated. When
this is done the tariffs viii be submit
ted to the Commercial clubs commit
tee and an effort win be made 10 please
it before the new schedules are finally
adopted.
The committee has spent some time
going over the situation with Traffic
Manager T. NJ. Schumacher of the Ore
E0n Short Line. General Freight and
Passenger Agent z. W. Gillette of the
Salt Lake route, and Assistant Cen
eral Freight Agent :. Y Derrah of the
Rio Grande. The railroad men admit
ted there were determinations in the
tariffs. and said that for some time
they had contemplated general re-
vision. On some points they disagreed
radically from the views Of the Com
mercial club committee. which is head
ed by F. J. Fabian, but they promised
TO give the objections careful consid-
Grafton
Determinations Are Made.
The committee pointed out a number
OF instances where the rates on certain
classes of freight from the Missouri
river or Atlantic coast to the Pacific
coast plus the local freight back to
salt Lake or ogden, is less than the
rate direct to Utah. common points.
This gives the coast iobbers an i'm
mense advantage on these cOmmodi-
ties, allowing them to come right into
LEGAL territory and undersell the Utah
dealers. The evidence submitted in
several instances was conclusive that
there had been discrimination, and the
railroad men promised TO give these
subjects especial attention.
There has been a readjustment of
Idaho rates, effective Jan. l. In the
PAST there has been what is called a
hump in the Idaho rates on the Ore
gOn Short Line. The rates from the
east to PendletOn. Ore. and other com
retitive points have been proportion
etely less than to nOn-cOmpetitive
points in Idaho. The change raises the
rate to Huntington and some other
Oregon points and reduces it in Idaho.
Boise is most aided by the change.
Mining machinery and a number of
other commodities are affected. the re-
cuctiOn there aging about 3 per
cent. The object is TO make the tar
ifs more nearly proportionate to mile
aSe.

BEAVERS GHOST
AGAIN RISES
Canceling Machine Con-
tracts Give Democrats a
Chance to Score Opponents
WANT RENTS REDUCED
Charge Made That Action
Is Equivalent to White
washing Postal officials

WASHINGTON, April S.-The con-
tract for canceling machines used by
the Postoffice Department was debated
at length in the Senate to-day in con-
nection with the postoff1ce appropria-
ton bill. Culberson introduced an
amendment reducing the rental of the
machines and the Democratic Sena-
tors charged that the rental now paid
was the same paid under the contracts
made by George w. Beavers when he
was in the Salary and Allowance Divi-
sion OF the Postoffice Department and
that they were excessive. Lodge de-
MED the charge, saying that there was
no truth in it, The postoffice bill was
still under consideration when the Sen
ate adjourned. The first hours of the
session were devoted to discussion by
Patterson of the Chinese question in
which he maintained that the exclu-
sion law was Ineffective after Decem-
Der unless there was additional legis-
lation.
An amendment was adopted to re-
quire postmasters to reside in the
town or city where they officially
serve.
An amendment prohibiting the Post
master General from refusing to es
tablish rural free delivery routes on
account of the condition of the roads
was also accepted.
Clay quoted from a report denoun-
cling the Beavers contract for canceling
machines and said that, notwithstand-
ing this denunciation, the contracts
were continued.
Scott expressed the opinion that it
was not right to attempt. to deprive
patentees of their rights under the
laws and also dwelt on the cost Of re-
pairing the machines.
The amendment was lost, IS to &c.
Teller called attention to the fact
that all the votes cast for the amend
ment to reduce the charges for the ma
chine, which charge he said the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General had de-
nounced as extortionate. had been cast
by Democrats, while all the negative
votes had been cast by Republicans
He said the prices named in the bill
as 1t stood were the same as those
fixed by Beavers. He added that II the
Senate was trying to give Beavers a
bill of health it should go further and
instruct the Department of Justice not
to prosecute him. The contracts, he
said, had been made in fraud. and
should be discontinued by the Sen
ate.
Lodge said that Teller was mistaken
and that the machine with which Bea-
vers had been concerned was not now
under contract
Without completing the postoffice oill
the Senate went into executive session
at 4:55 and adjourned at p. m.

CLAIMS FORESTS
ARE IMPOTENT
Prof. Schubert Says Influ-
ence of Wooded Section on
the Climate Is 0verdrawn

BERLIN, April S.-The influence Of
forests upon climate was the subject Of
discussion at the annual meeting Of
the German Meteorological Society here
to-day. The conclusions reported as
signed much less influence to forests
than has been hitherto assumed Pro-
fessor Schubert Of Goettingen gave
summary of the results OF his four
years observations at Prussian sta
tions throughout the extended wooded
region of the northern part of Bran
denburg Two observations were TAX
en- daily at numerous points within the
forests, in clearings and other points.
The result was that from the minimum
variations of temperature and humid
ity in the forests and at more remote
points it was concluded that the for
ests had no appreciable influence upon
the rainfall and general climate. 1t
was pointed out in the debate follow
ing that observations in the ex-
tended swamp regions Of Russia gave
similar results. Diagrams and tables.
illustrating the above experiments. will
be sent to the st. Louis Exposition.

ALLEGED BURGLAR TAKEN
BY OFFICER AFTER CHASE
Bailey, Whom He Suspected Of
Aftempted Burglary.

A man giving the name of Frank
Bailey was arrested after a long
chase last night by Policeman d. j.
Keohane. Bailey was booked for vag-
rancy, but will be held pending an in
vestigation into his record. When he
was searched at the City Prison he
had set of burglars tools. among
which were a huge knife, a plate
glass cutter and a file.
officer Keohane saw Bailey loiter-
ing in the neighborhood of the banks
that line the streets near the corner
of California and Webb streets, a lit
tie thoroughfare running north and
south between Montgomery and Kear-
ny streets, off California. Keo-
hane called for the man to halt. In
stead of complying with the officers
demand Bailey started to run.
Keohane pursued him down Webb
street into Sacramento and down Sac
ramento to Montgomery, where Bailey
stumbled and fell. The vigilant Of
ficer was on his back in a moment
and after a severe tussle succeeded in
getting the handouts on his prisoner.
The police believe that Bailey used
the tools found on him in the nefa-
rious calling of burglary. To-day he
will be charged with having burglar
tools in his possession.

PORTLAND, Ore, April S.-The
passage of the bill appropriating al
most $500, 900 for the Lewis and

makes certain the recognition and
participation of foreign Governments.
Every citizen in the Pacific Northwest
congratulates himself upon the ter
mination of the efforts Of President
Harvey W. Scott and others for the
recognition at the hands of the Gov
ernment. The preliminary work on
the grounds is practically completed

BITTER FIGHT
WITH HEREROS
Correspondent Describes the
Battle Occurring at Time
of Relief of Omarura

BERLIN, April 8.-The Southwest
African correspondent of the Cologne
Gazette, DIR. Moellenhof, has sent his
paper a letter describing the relief of
Omarura, February 4, from which it
appears that both sides fought with
desperate courage. When the garrison
of Omarura heard the firing Of the ar
tillery of the relief corps, twenty of
the beleaguered force made a sortic
against the enemy, who held a natural
fortifcation consisting Of a line of
cliff-like projecting rocks.
The Hereros, attacked in front and
ground with marvellous tenacity. When
the Germans rushed among them, many
Hereros crept into the crevices of the
rocks, where they were bayoneted.
Lieutenant Won Koellewarth received a
mortal wound from a Herero twenty
PAGES distant and a German cavalry
man searching the rocks for wounded
was killed at a few PAGES range.
After being driven from this posi-
ton, the Hereros took UP new one,
contesting every inch and leaving d
number of dead at every rallying
point After the hottest firing was
over, the enemy fired at the German
wounded from bushes, and the sur
geons dressed the wounds while bull
let's were whizzing in their direction.
The Hereros lost about hundred kill
ed or wounded of their approximate
total of six hundred men. The German
loss was eight men killed and ten
wounded

CITIZENS OF SOUTHLAND
WELCOME THE VISITORS
Members of the California Promotion Committee Spend
Enjoyable Day in Orange, Riverside, San Bernadno
and Los Angeles Counties and Then Start Homeward
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, April S.-After a
day crowded with events and sur
prises, sightseeing and welcomes, the
members of the California Promotion
Committee sought their berths in their
special train at 1890 o'clock tonight
and departed on their homeward jour-
ney. 1t was a day which those with
the excursion will never forget; day
in which they were shown the beau
ties of this end of the State in a man
ner which the tourist misses. Either
the entire body or portions of 1T saw
all that was to be seen in a hurried
trip through Orange, Riverside, San
Bernardino and Los Angeles counties
and wherever they stopped they were
accorded a welcome which was new to
many of them and which was mani
festly sincere.
Unless the reception at various places
be styled as such, the day was devoid
of special incident. OF course there
was the fun which is always an accom-
paniment of such trips, and the jokes
perpetrated for the benefit of the crowd,
but the members of the committee
came south particularly to see the
country and mark it's development.
What they saw will be for the good of
the whole State, in that 1t will give
other sections the benefit of what has
been accomplished in this section.
The members of the committee awoke
at Santa Ana, where they were treated
to a speech by Superior Judge Ballard,
which they declared had the true ring
to it and which nearly all the members
of the committee remarked was one Of
the best they had heard.
They went to Ruerside and San Ber-
nardino, and thence around the upper
loop of the kite-shaped track of the
Santa Fe to Los Angeles, stopping
awhile at Pasadena. The special train
bearing the committee and their guests
reached Los Angeles at o'clock, and
without giving the visitors a chance
IN rest the local committee had auto
mobiles waiting, and those of the visi-
tors who cared to go were taken for
spin through the city.
There was a reception at the Cham
ber of Comerce tonight, which was at
tended by the representative men OF
the city. The affair was altogether in
formal Speeches were made by num-
ber of prominent Los Angeles men.
and responded to by members Of the
committee.
The principal speech of the evening
was made by John McNaught, who re-
sponded to Mayor Snyder's address of
welcome. For several hours the visitors
remained at the Chamber of Commerce
building. most of the time being spent
in personal discussion of subjects of
interest to the entire State and in the
exchange of views and experiences be-
tween men who represent different sec
tions. After the informal reception the
members of the Promotion Committee
were escorted to their train. Their next
stop will be at Santa Barbara and
thence they will journey directly home.
