Nail Contracts.

It is strange that President
Roosevelt has overlooked the pad
ded mail carrying contracts. For
mer Senator Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, is authority for the
statement that on it's present
contracts the government pays
the railroads each year $40, 0OO,-
900 for carrying the mails, while
the same lines carry the same
amount of express on the same
trains for less than $4,000, 900.
Senator Pettigrew says:
The New York Central rail
way for carrying the United
States mail from New York to
Chicago over it's main lines re-
ceives each year 81 per cent. of
the value of those lines as well
as of all rolling stock and termi-
nails in New York, Chicago and
other cities.
Yet when l moved, after prov
ing these facts, that this CON-
pensation be. cut down 20, and
afterwards 10 per cent, / was vo-
ted down in committee of the
senate.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been slow to
move against the trusts because
he "does not desire to unnecessa-
rily disturb the business inter-
ests." He proceeds in a leisure
ly way to carry out his views as
to some other necessary reforms
because he "does not desire to be
hasty." It would seem, howev-
er, than when the railroads are
robbing the people on the mail
carrying contracts the business
interests of the country would
not suffer if Mr.. Roosevelt would

Obituary..

On May 81, 1905, Herschel Carr,
son of R. L. and Elsie Durham,
would have been five years old.
He was a bright lovely child. He
would inquire about God and
heaven and how people could get
to that goodly land. He no doubt
knows now. On February 4,
1905, he fell asleep in Jesus.
From our view point it seems a
failure to come into this world,
gain parental love, show signs of
such possibilities, then so soon
pass away But not so from Mt.
Calvary's view. Does not every
human life, unless side-tracked,
perfectly carry out the Divine
program? Cannot the hands of
Him who created us develop and
form character, in that land that
is undefled and fades not away,
better than we? What a heri-
tage to have a child under such
tutorage in such a country

WITHIN HIS RIGHTS:
ACTION is UPHELD

Chicago, May az. = Cornelius P
Shea, president of the international
Transfers union, was upheld by
Judge Kohlsaat of the federal court
in his refusal to answer questions be.
fore Master in Chancery Sherman,
which might tend to incriminate him.
Shea Is now under indictment in the
criminal court, and Judge Kohlsaat
declared that answers to some Of the
questions put to him might prejudice
the hearing Of his case.
In the same decision which excused
Shea the court ruled that Bernard
Mulligan, president of the Express
Drivers union, and John Donahue, a
member of the same union, had refus-
ed to answer questions which could
not in any way connect them with
any criminal proceedings, and they
were therefore in contempt of court.
He sentenced both men to JAIL but
allowed them to remain in nominal
custody in the hands of United
States Marshal Ames for five days in
order that their attorneys may per-
feet a review in habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before another federal Judge.
The men will be held in hotel for
the five days in charge of two deputy
marshals.

ing, and Judge Kohlsaat announced
his decision late in the afternoon.
The court room was crowded with
labor leaders and members of the
Transfers union and many repre-
entatives Of the employers. At the
conclusion of the hearing large
crowd gathered about Attorney May
er, who had asked the court to CON-
NIT the men for contempt. President
Shea edged his way through the
crowd to the attorney and they shook
hands.
: Well, got your conspirators -
said the lawyer, with a laugh.
" Yes, but you didn't get me, - an
swered Shea.
The hearing before the Master in
Chancery Sherman will be resumed at
10 o'clock Saturday morning. Hugh
MCGEE, an official of the local Team
sters' union. will be one of the first
witnesses. James Barry, business
agent of the same union. will also
be called within the next few days.
He was one Of the men who were Or
dered by Judge, Kohlsaat to answer
certain questions, and appeared be-
fore the master this morning and re-
piled to them.
He was not, therefore, cited for
contempt.

delegates and control conventions in
order to make sure of reappointment,
while the civil service rules say that
he must refrain from pernicious ac-

through that self same activity. Mr..
Lawson expressed hope that Presi-

political bear by placing the postmast-

Washington, May 25.-The senate
on interstate commerce closed the
hearings upon the regulation of rail-
way rates and will devote the re-
mainder Of the week to consideration
of plan to report and other sugges-
tons to facilitate proceedings when
congress assemblies.
Samuel Spencer, president Of the
Southern railway, today made brief
oral statement to be supplemented by
another which will be filed with the
committee. He pointed out that the,
railroads we're not advocating regu-I
lation Of rates by the courts, but main
tains that If a question of rates must
be passed upon by any tribunal It'll
should be by the courts, as otherwise,
the property Of the railroads would
not be protected.
A. Urion, general counsel of the Ar
mour car lines, made an argument
against any legislation which would
place the private car lines under con-
troll Of the interstate regulation. He
demanded the exclusive contracts,
which he claimed were in the inter
est of the fruit-growers and other
users Of refrigerator cars.

Going to See Papa.

Last Friday morning, Mr.. George
Dudley of Hightown, as he came down
the mountain west of Monterey, met
two little runaways, Elsie and Arlle
Bussard, aged seven and six respec-
lively. He halted them. asked where
they were going, and was told they
''were going to Boyer to see papa.
He told them they were too little 10 go
alone-that the ''bears' would get
them-and tried to induce them to
come back to town with him. They
entered a vigorous protest, ran off up
the pike, and he came on. A little
further up they met Mr. Win Jones,
who also failed to dissuade them. AS
the little pair was descending the
mountain on the Hightown side, they
were overtaken by MIR. James Hevener
who took them to Mr. G. T. Shumate s
where they remained until the anxious
mother arranged to send for them.
Mr.. W. A. Bussard, father OF these
little ones, has been in business at
Boyer for more than a year, and 1t
would seem that his visits home were
too far apart to satisfy them. Elsie
had started without any head gear
