at it in that way ard on motion
the matter was laid on the table.
Sam Snider complained that by
recent transactions of which the
council had under their control, he
was damaged to the amount of $50
or more. In reply to notification
by councilman Angle to pave, he
stated he would give $50 to any
man who would make him pave.
This brought the chairman of the
paving committee Mr.. Morlarity to
his feet. with query as to the
condition of the funds for that
purpose. Treasurer Pullen stated
that there was $1715.O9 to the
credit of that fund. MIR. Moriari-
ty stated that he thought he'd
earn that $50, and would proceed
Immediately.
This discussion brought up the
question of paving Main Street.
After due deliberation the council
decided to proceed forthwith, and
the committee was ordered to put
forces at work at once tearing up
and relaying. The work will COM
mence at the Homer Wright resi-
dence, and continue west.
Alderman Thurness stated that
considerable complaint had been
made in regard to teamsters haul
ing gravel over the paved streets
with open dump boards, scattering
it over the brick and making mud
dy, dirty streets. 1t was stated
that it was almost impossible for
the street sweeper to gather it up.
The Mayor asked who were the
teamsters doing this and Jacob Fox
was reported. On motion the May
or was ordered to notify Mr.. Fox,
and he will either have to calk the
cracks in his dump boards, buy
new wagon bed, quit hauling dirt,
Or pay a fine and costs in such
cases made and provided for.
On motion council adjourned.

ried away four cows belonging to the
British owner, after numbering a Span

robbers was severely wounded by the
wife of the Spaniard. 1t is rumored

BILL BY ELKlNS.
Its Object Is Regulation of Railroad
Freight Rates.

Washington, Dec. Sl.-Senator $, b,
Elkins, of West Virginia, chairman of
the senate committee ON interstate
commerce, is busily engaged in franz
ing bill for the purpose of carrying
out the views of the president in rela.
tion to the abolition of freight rebates.
The senator, in discussing the subject
today, said among other things;
''There should be some power in this
country to declare what rates should be
on the railroads. The United States
supreme court has decided that the fix
ing of railroad rate is a legislative
and not judicial power, So we can
not depend upon the interstate COM
merce commission to fix these rates,
and, in fact, no commission or other
court can be depended on for that im-
portant function. What we can do is
to empower Il court TO declare when a
rate is excessive and in that way send
the rate back to the railroad to be low
cred,
81 do not think We need fear that
the roads will attempt to evade the ex-
ecution OF such instruction in good
faith, by attempting to come back
again with another rate, slightly low
cred, so Us to result in no benefit. We
can depend upon public opinion as q
power to force them to accept this
method of regulating the rates in good
faith. Ii the lower rate they fix is not
low enough, it can again be declared
to be too high and would 20 back to
them.
For several reasons think the in
terstate commerce commission is not
the proper tribunal for the fixing of
rates by this method. 1t should be
done in circuit court of the United
States, and that court should be pre-
sided over by justice of high char
acter, who ought to receive salary of
$4,000, $1,000 or $4,000 year.
Such judge would, of course, be ap-
pointed for life, and would be in po-
sition to fix these rates. He could de-
vote his entire thought to the questions
that would come to his attention.
Just think what might happen il
these powers were placed in the hands
of commission, the members subject
to reappointment by the president,
with limited terms. Such u proposal
would not meet the approval of the
conservative men,"

Burning Their Cotton.

Fort Gaines, Ga, Dec. 80. - The
farmers and merchants of this county
met today at Fort Gaines and decided
to burn their share of 1000, 900 bales
of surplus cotton A starter was made
today when bonfire was made on the
streets. 1t is not yet determined where
1t will stop. The farmers have decid-
ed to set the pace, and are moving de-
terminedly. A large crowd paraded
with much spectacular ceremony. The
object is to show that the farmers are
ready to sacrifice few bales for the
benefit of the masses.

PRESIDENT TO GIVE HIS VIEW
No Railroad Administration Measure
To Be Sent to Congress.

Washington, Dec 80. -- President
Roosevelt embraced the opportunity TO
day to take up with the members Of
the cabinet many questions Of detail
in departmental administration, the
semi-weekly meeting of the cabinet
being longer than usual. At the con-
clusion Of the meeting the members of
the cabinet said in response to inqui-
ries that little business OF serious im-
portance was considered.
After other members of the cabinet
had left the executive offices, Attorney
General Moody discussed with the pres
ident some phases of the railroad
freight questions, Both the president
and the attorney general recently have
devoted much time to that problem.
The latter is giving particular atteu-
tion to the legal side of the question,
80 that he may be prepared to advise
with the president on the subject and
with such members of congress as may
wish to consult him. 1t il understood
not to be the intention Of the pres-
dent and attorney general to prepare
and press the consideration in congress
of an administration measure" deal
ing with the railroad freight problem.
Such bill, it is thought, (to quote
a member of the cabineD, would be
destined to defeat.

CHOATE COMING HOME.
To Resign as Ambassador to England
After the Inauguration.

London, Dec. 3I.-While numerous
statements have been published here
that Ambassador Choate is about to
retire from diplomatic circles, it can
be stated that Mr.. Choate has not sent
in his resignation or any communica-
tion on the subject to President Roose-
welt or the State department, nor has
he received any inquiry either from
the president or Secretary Hay concern
ing his future plans. 1t can be safely
asserted, however, that it is Mr.. Cho-
ate's intention to tender his resigna-
tion soon after the Inauguration of
President Roosevelt.
"Six years is long time slice out of
the life of man of my age" said Mr..
ChOate, recently, to friends here, "and
while l have enjoyed the life and peo-
pie l have met in England, l have de-
termined to go home and devote the re-
mainder of my time to looking after
my own affairs"

Seven COnVlCtS at Folsom Make
Dash for Liberty.
THREE ARE KILLED BY GUARDS
Four Are Fatally Wounded and One
SlightlY-Two Guards Hurt by
Bullets of Comrades.

Folsom, CAL, Dee, Sl.-A break that
was clever in plan and bold in execu-
tion took place at the penitentiary
here this afternoon, The guards Qheyed
the standing orders OF the warden to
shoot regardless oi the danger 10 free
men, and as result seven OF nine
convicts, who had planned to get away,
were almost riddled with bullets,
three being now dead and three in
critical condition,
The break was similar in general
plan to that of last July, but the fact
that it was made within the range Of
the guns of seven reliable guards, all
dead shots, and one Of those within 80
feet, makes II more bold and desperate.
The convicts who engaged in the
break We're all employed ON the rock
crusher, where 325 OF the most desper-
ate prisoners were at work. Captain
Murphy was acting as general overseer
about the rock crusher, and four other
attaches, l.. Daley, NJ, Hogan, Charles
Taylor and Charles jolly, were employ
ed as ''pushers' to keep the men ut
work.
A large sledge hammer was thrown
into the crusher, causing the ponderous
machinery to come to Il standstill,
This attracted Captain Murphy, Charles
jolly and Taylor to the place immeli-
ately. Thereupou the desperate con
victs rushed to seize Murphy, Jolly an d
Taylor, They succeeded only in catch
ing the two first mentioned. During
this time the scene OF trouble was under
cover, and the guards on the outside
could not see the struggling men, al
though they soon had an intimation
that something was wrong. Five ui
the gang surrounded Captain Murphy
and two others had Jolly. The con
victs had knives in position for imme-
dat execution, should the guards at
tempt to free themselves. The convicts
were very bold as they approached
Guard Harris, who stood ready to act
according to the standing orders to
shoot regardless of consequences
When within 40 feet Of the outside
guards, one OF the convicts gave the
command: "IIand ont your gun, or we
will stab Murphy to the heart"
Instead Of handing out his rifle, Har-
ris sent bullet into the fellows body,
and he fell to the ground. In quick
succession Harris fired at each OF the
remaining convicts, who were trying to
shield themselves behind Murphy and
Jolly.
In the meantime bullets from other
posts were flying thickly about, many
of them striking the convicts.
Captain Murphy was struck by one
of them, slight wound being inflicted
in the leg, and jolly was struck in the
neck, the bullet coming out through
the cheek and injecting a very serious
wound, though probably not a critical
one. Two Of the convicts, named
Campbell and Ford, intended joining
the others, but their courage failed
them when the shooting began.

Portland, Dec. 31.-All but two of
the river dredges operated by the Unit

lack of funds with which to carry on

quit for the same reason. The dredge
WiIlowa, on the Snake, is also still in
operation, but the Columbia dipper
dredges, No. and No. 2, and the snag
boat are all out of commission, as the
engineers have not sufficient funds with
which to operate.

IN FOG AND ICE.
Great Storm RACES from Rocky Noun
tains to Atlantic.

talns 10 Ntlantlc.
Chicago, Dec. 29.-One OF the sever.
est storms Of recent years has ragged
throughout the territory lying between
the Rocky mountains and the Great
lakes since early this morning, and has
caused much trouble to street car com
panies, railroads and telegraph COM
panies. The latter were the greatest
sufferers from the blizzard which
swept through the West and Northwest
during the last "a hours, and which
was preceded by heavy fog and driz-
cling rain, which made the wires almost
unwOrkable.
The intense cold and terrific gale
that followed close upon the fog coated
the wires with ice, and later in the day
threw poles to the ground, crippling
the companies badly. Railroad trains
were badly delayed all through the
west, some OF them being "a hours late.
Street-car traffic in all the cities OF the
West and Northwest was practically ut
a standstill at some time during the
day.
In its extent the storm was the most
widespread of any during the last Is
years. Counting the fog as com
ponent part OF the storm, it stretched
from the Rocky mountains to New
York, and from Winnipeg to New Or
leans.

Great difficulty was experienced by
railroad officials on securing tele-

trains. Wires were down in many
places. Points in the northwestern
states could be reached cnly by circuit
Gus routes. The mail service of the
entire middle west is in bad condition.
Transfer connections with a number of
outbound trains were missed.
