INTERSTATE

CONVENTION
Returning Delegates Bring
Echoes Of the Chicago
Meeting.
Political Men and Methods vainly Attempt
to Force lnde inlte Roosevelt Doc.
t'ias on Them and Force Split.

Messrs. F, H. Pierce and NJ. w.
Browne, who returned last night from
Chicago, bring some interesting IN.
formation concerning the Interstate
Commerce Law convention. Mr..
Pierce was delegate from the Las
Vegas Commercial club and Mr..
Browne from the New Mexico Whole
callers association. George Arnot Of
Albuquerque was also present as a
delegate.
The gentlemen say that when they
repaired to the building where the
convention was to be held they were
stopped by two policemen who de-
manded that they sign pledge to
support the Roosevelt plan for the
regulation Of railroad rates. The gen.
tlemen responded that Roosevelt had
not definitely announced his plan and
they wouldn't sign any paper pledging
themselves to support purely hyp-
thetical proposition. Then you don't
get in here" was the reply.
Four hundred and sixty-three Of the
700 delegates refused to bind them
selves in advance to a Rooseveltian
theory and were turned away. They
repaired to another hall and organized
the Federal Rate Regulation associa-
tion. All OF the New Mexico delegates
joined in this convention. This con-
vention declared it monstrously un-
fair for one Bacon and few asso-
ciates to insist In advance on the
adoption of measures which the dele
gates had been called upon to dis
cuss. In the resolutions It was de-
manded that rate regulations be made
to apply to private car lines and indi-
vidual concerns as well as the rail-
roads and the ground was taken that
federal supervision could not justly
80 so far as to say what railroad
should charge for hauling freight.
The Federal Rate convention held
strongly that the evil to be overcome
was that Of discrimination and that
the matter came very properly under
the federal Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Peirce said that the contention
of some papers and people that the
delegates to the convention who de.
clined to be bound by uncertain
pledges were governed by the inter-
ests OF the railroads was absurd. In
the convention, when the lnsinuation
was made, he said the delegates jump
ed to their feet showed the tickets
they had bought to the convention
and repudiated the innuendo with the
utmost strenuosity.
The gentlemen declared there were
not six railroad men in the whole lot.
The delegates were representatives OF
the biggest manufacturing and ship
ping interests in the country and were
working for what they believed to be
their own best interests. The other
convention was very largely political
in it's makeup and in Its methods and
he did not believe its course would
he supported by the nation at
large.

suite.
This actually happened In Mindanao.
The story was told to me by the army
surgeon himself.
He was seated in his tent one morn
| ing when number OF the followers of
the Sultan Of Paltar came hurrying to
him, saying the Sultan was dying of
cholera. Aided by the slight knowi-
edge he then mad of their language
the surgeon diagnosed the case from
their reports as a well-nigh hopeless
one. Still, anxious to show the skill
and friendliness Of the American for
the Moro brother, he hastily made up
six powders, each containing One-six-
tieth of grain of morphine and thir-
ty gains Of bismuth These he gave
to the emissaries, telling them to give
the Sultan one of them in a glass OF
boiled water every three hours and to
report to him next morning how the
patient was getting along.
The next morning the surgeon was
more than surprised to see the Sultan
himself walk into the tent. Wan and
weak as he was, ne had come some
eight miles to thank the surgeon per-
sonally for having saved his life; and
had brought with aim one of his sub
jects, who spoke Spanish well enough
to serve as an interpreter.
1t was through this interpreter that
the surgeon learned how his direc-
tions had been followed. First they
had given the entire six powders to
the Sultan at one dose--a full grain
of morphine and 1870 grains of bis
muth-and then had poured lumber
full of boiling water into him every
three hours afterward, scalding his
mouth and throat so that he could
hardly speak.
But it cured him and the surgeon
says the same treatment cured many
another Moro who would probably
have died under lesser doses.-Brook

To prepare for this unique enter
tainment, give few tubes of oil col

provide, but while a great variety of
colors is needed to produce the very
best effects, satisfactory effects may
be produced with three or four
You will also need palette knife,
two or three paper cutters or fruit
knives and number of sheets of
heavy white note paper
Give each guest sheet of the note
paper and instruct him to fold it in
half. Then, having opened it again,
he must put a little of each of several
colors together on one side of, and
close to, the fold; half way from edge
to edge of the sAeet of paper and fold
the paper again down over the paint.
Now, with a paper cutter or dull
edged fruit knife, let him press the
paper over the paint so as to spread
the latter upward and outward to
form the profile Of butterfy's wing
Then he should press downward to
form the lower wing, being guided in
the work by holding the paper up to
the light now and then to see in what
shape the colors are spreading.
When all the guests have finished
the papers should be opened and
beautiful butterfly of many colors will
be found in each. If good deal of
paint is used, beautiful markings will
be produced, with ridges and corruga

quite natural.
At the close of the work vote
should be taken as to whose butterfly
is the best, and prize awarded ac-

A FELLOW FEELING
Why She Felt Lenient Towards the
Drunkard.

A great deal depends on the point OF
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in very peculiar way, to- revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:

SKATE SAILING.
Sailor May Travel a Mile a Minute
With No Power but the Wind.

To be ones self the mast and the

class locomotive-thisi is the sport of
skate-sailing, says a writer in Country
Life in Americas Christmas Annual
In an automomobile, in a racing keel
on a blooded horse, the man that
guides by clutch or tiller or bride is
a piece of dead freight, being to the
extent of his weight a drag on the
speed; but skate-sailing alone, of
sports that attack time, makes use of
the guidance of itself as a part of
the propulsive force. The man him
self is both sail area and live ballast.
With 40-mile breeze behind him,
and clean, green ice ahead, the skate
sailer comes the nearest we shall ev-
err get to the wingfooted god that
slid down a rainbow. Wings on his
feet, and his arms tethered to great
white wings, he is the Tyre of the west
wind in a kind of rhapsody of motion.
He is as sensitive to the situation as
a Photographic plate. Every tremor
of the all action passes through him,
and he adapts himself momently to
the variations of an off-shore breeze

to prove that man may cover a mile

wind alone, will be made this advanc-
ing season by some skate-sailers at
least.
