SANTA FE AND SOUTHERN
PACIFIC CANNOT AGREE
Hartman Line Serves Notice That 1t
Will Not Exchange Courtesies
in Summer Travel

Southern Pacific officials seem to
have figured that there is not a new
Salt Lake road on the map" said one
of the heads of the Santa Fe passenger
department yesterday. "The Santa Fe
is making a special rate of one fare
on certain days to Chicago and other
eastern points which will give to it's
patrons the opportunity of going by the
southern route of our road and on their
return the option of either returning
directly to Los Angeles over the Santa
Fe or the advantage of being routed
over the Salt Lake.
1.-The differences between the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe in handling
the passenger business of the summer
months have been precipitated by the
Southern Pacific. When we made pub
lie the rates we would put into effect,
they served notice that there would be
no exchange of traffic as in former
years, and that they would expect to
take care of their own business and we
could do likewise"
At the Salt Lake offices yesterday it
was said that arrangements had been
made with the Southern Pacific 10y
which courtesies would be exchanged
between the two companies.

Chinese Coolies Brought to Work in the Mines the Most
Hardened and Vicious Army of Criminals Ever Banded
Together.-Many Women Victims and Vigilance Com
mttees Formed to Hunt Them Down Like Wild
Animals.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Oct. 19.-Forty thousand Chinese
miners, imported into the Trans
vaal by the owners of the Wit
watersrand gold fields to work the
mines cheaply, are terrorizing
South Africa. Murders and crimes
against white women, worse than
murder, are of daily occurrence,
and the white men in South Africa
are forming vigilant committees
and have given notice that they in
tend to deal with the coolies in ac-
cordance with lynch law.
The yellow miners, despite pro-
tests from all over the British EN-.
pire, were recruited by agents of
the gold mine magnates from the
most criminal and abandoned
classes in China, these being prac-
tically the only kind of Cinnamon
that would agree to leave their
homes. The Chinese government,
to get rid of as many of it's con-
firmed criminals as possible, gave
malefactors the option of heavy
terms of Imprisonment or becom-
ing Transvaal miners.
In consequence Of this, South
Africa has become the rendezvous
of the most hardened army of
vicious criminals ever gathered to-
gether. The Chinese declined to
bring their wives with them to the
Transvaal, and. owing to this, they
have become a host Of unclaimed
devils, and it is dangerous for a
woman to wander about alone.
The Chinese are kept in COM
pounds and are treated like slaves.
They are logged for the slightest
offense and rebellion after rebellion
has succeeded wholesale floggings,
news of which constantly leaks out,
despite the efforts of the mine own
ers to keep secret everything that
occurs in the compounds. The liv-

The coolies are constantly escap-
ing from the compounds and roam
ing about the country on crime
raids and on organized hunts for
white women. Eight hundred of
the yellow demons are now loose,
defying the police and the South
African constabulary. The govern
ment has offered a reward of $40
for each Chinaman captured and
the Beers are organizing hunts for
them.
The latest case of assault by the
Chinese occurred at Brakpan, the
victim being a widow named Mrs.
Sullivan. Twenty coolies broke
open the front door of her house at
night and rushed into her bedroom,
prandlSnlng daggerS, chapperS and
torches. Three of them held Mrs.
Sullivan on her bed and demanded
money. The woman tried to get
away and jump from the window in
an attempt to kill herself, but the
Chinese dragged her round the
room by her hair, gagged her with
rags and tied her on the bed.
After while they destroyed the
furniture and attempted to fire the
house. Just then a son of Mrs. Sui
livan, who had been imprisoned in
the house, escaped and set out to
alarm the neighbors. The Chinese
then made off and have not yet
been captured.
Coolies have been found wander
