suIt), S. TO SIS.
So much slaughter and food fos

that it is believed in the cases brought
to light that cut rates were instituted.
The Plot Exposed.
\ Charles Casey. the leading unionist in
\ the scandal. in his signed confession to
4 the police, sets forth the facts in an in
/ teresting manner. In connection with
I the Gi1hooley murders he says:
THE first time saw Charles Gil
hooley was on the afternoon Of April
| s, 1905. He, with two other men, was
IN the vicinity OF the Woods Vehicle
company. Twentieth street and Wa
bash avenue, where a strike was in
progress.
"Gilhooley came to me and said:
There is no use of you fellows black
ening the eyes Of these men. We are
hired by the Woodworkers and others
| to do this kind of work and would like
to make arrangements with you You
fellows are known and are in danger
of getting pinched. We are not known
and there is no danger for US
81 told Gilhooley that I had no pow
er to make any arrangements with
him, but told him to come to the heal
quarters Of the union at No SIS North
Clark street, which met that night. and
the matter would be taken up by those
who had some authority to act. That
night Gilhooley, Looney and, believe,
Feeley were present at the meeting,
and they asked me how about that
matter they were talking about.
81 brought the matter before the
meeting, and as a result the executive
committee voted that a fund be laid
aside for educational purposes At
the same time list of names was Sc
lected, including men who had refused
to go cut on strike These names were
selected by Henry j. Newman, score
tary Of the union, and Carlstrom' S
name was at the head Of the list. Gill
heoley said: Whom shall we get first ?,
He was told to go after the man whose
name headed the list and to get the
others in order. Gilhooley was given
cash from the fund for incidental ex-
penses.
Later / met Gilhooley and he said:
Well, got Meyers -CarIstrom was
known also by the name of Meyers
he put up an awful fight, kicked me in
the Sims and I will have to go and see
doctor. Newman gave Gilhooley
more money, but he kicked and said he
should have SIS for the job He said
he had received that amount from
other unions for the same sort of
work. We objected at the time, but
later he received I'VE dollars more,

on Clark street and he told me he had
got other men. He said he met these
men on street cars and fixed them. Gill

JAPAN,s SOBER SOLDIERS.
Their Diet and General Habits Are
the Essence Of Simplicity and
Modesty.

Foreign attaches with Kuroki's
army suffered a good deal because of
the food supplied them by the Jap
anese government. A correspondent
writes: shall never forget the con-
tempt shown by a certain japanese Of
fcer for a meal was eating. We had
just entered =Antung and T had estab-
lished myself in the courtyard Of a
temple. I made ready the first good
meal I had had Tor some days. MY
number one, boy baked some bread
in a frying pan, we opened a tin Of
meat and a tin of butter, then we
made some tea-miIkIess and sugar
less-and we were happy. A Japanese
officer, a friend of my own, looked in
on me and I invited him to share my
meal. How can you take all that
trouble over food?' he asked, wonder
ingly. Come and look at my meal
He took NE to room near by and
showed me the dish of rice, the por-
ton of seaWeed and the little kettle
Of boiling water for tea which his
servant had prepared. He did not

Avoidance Of luxury is a point of
honor among these fighters. AL
know the story about Gen. Nogi,' the
same writer continues, who when
during the China war he was pre-
scented with costly cloak sold it for
the benefit of the sick, declaring that
he had one cloak already and there
were many soldiers without any. An
officer would consider himself dis
graced if he took into the field elab-
crate food or oyerabundant clothing.

CHINESE SOCIAL FORMS.
Extremely Ceremonious Conduct Is
Observed Between Guest
and Host.

A recent book on Chinese customs
thus describes the social forms OBJ
served in greeting guests. The host
| meets the principal guest at the door
and greets him by cordially shaking
hands with himself and bending low
The obeisance is frequently carried to
the length of knocking the head on the
floor. The guest watches the host out
of the corner of one eye, aud initiates
his every motion vita the precision OF
drill. Next he makes behave to sit
down in the lowest room.--the chair
on his own left nearest the door
against which humility the host en-
phatically protests, motioning with
Joined hands toward the dais. The
feint is repeated and frustrated at each
successive chair until the ultimate
destination (weIl understood from the
outset by both rties)-namely, the
left of the tea tablets reached. Each
member of the hosts train Or staff
selects, in the order of Importance, an
individual from the guests following
and makes him the object of Identical
courtesies until he is safely plotted to
his proper place. When the whole
party mas at length been brought into
position the host motions the guest to
be seated and the real difficulty begins.
Host and guest appear to apprehend
sudden death il one sits down before
the other, After many polite feints

Another Racial Ehaarv

While there are no black races in
digenous outside of the tropics. the
leading American, English. French
and Italian ethnologists boldly teach
that the white races Of the world are
simply modified negroes and that the
Anglo-saxon and other white races
are Of an African origin, having
crossed over into Europe during the
neolithic age. Their habits, character
Of food, environments, attitude Of their

When Gilhooley learned of Casey'a
confession he was wild with rage. He

MYSTERY OF THE OCEAN.
Fate of a Crew That Left New York
in 1887 Has Never Been
Learned.

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
Of all the mysteries of the sea is the
fate of the crew of the ship Marie
Celeste, a more fantastic creation, ap-
parently, than novelist ever wove,
writes P. Z. McGrath, in sMcCIure's
Magazine. She left New York in 1887
for Europe, her personnel being l3,
Including the captains wife and child.
Two weeks later a British bark
sighted her in the Atlantic; there was
no sign of life on board. A boat was
sent to her, and most exhaustive
search proved her to be as silent aS
the tomb, as deserted as a pesthouse.
Everything was in its place-eYen the
boats at the davits. The hull was IN
damaged, the cargo untouched Rig
ging and spars were intact; the sails
We're all set. The crews weekly wash
hung above the forecastIe; an awning
covered the poop. Binnae1e and wheel
and rudder were complete. The sail
ors' kits and dinners were seen in the
foreeastle In the cabin was sewing
machine with child.s garment under
the needle, and on the table a half
eaten meal The chronometer licked
undisturbed in the ehartroon; the
cash box was unriied. The logbook,
posted to within 43 hours Of the visit
showed the passage to have been IA
yorable; the ships appearance proved
there had been no storm Evidences
of struggle or piracy or murder
there were none. Yet thirteen people
had disappeared as If spirited away
by some unnatural agency, and from
that day to this the mystery has never
been unraveled, though the United
States government spared no effort to
solve it.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
It Is Unconstit utional and Unneces-
sary to Confseate the Property
of the Railways.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Inter State Com
marce Commission Prouty said in dis
eussing the proposition to give to that
Commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own busl-
ness. have never advocated any law
and am not now in favor OF any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any COM
mission or any court While it may be
necessary TO do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some coun-
tries, am opposed to it. -. The
railway rate is property. It is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it depriVes the
railroad company of its property pro

should eonfiscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
snould say that it shall not earn three

you put in a rate that is Inherently
unreasonable. you have deprived that
company of its rights, of it's property

States has jurisdiction under the four

I have looked at these cases
q great many times, and l can. only
come to the conclusion that a railroad
company is entitled to charge a fair
and reasonable rate, and if any order
OF commission, If any statute Of a
state legislature, takes away that rate,
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company
