SALT LAKE FIGHTS
FOR PRIVILEGES
HIGH OFFICIALS CONFER IN
NORTH
CLARK ASKS TRACKAGE RIGHT
Meeting of Representatives of Two
Lines Today May Result In an
Agreement-No Deal With
Santa Fe
Santa Fe

With todays conference in San Fran.
cisco of the traffic managers of the
roads interested, 1t is probable that the
question as to whether or not the Salt
Lake shall be granted switching and
terminal privileges by the Southern
Pacific will be fully decided upon.
A similar meeting of railroad officials
held in San Francisco two months ago
failed to provide a solution of the
problem. Senator Clark and E. H.
Hartman, with the traffic directors OF
the Salt Lake and the Southern Pacific
took up the vexed question three weeks
ago in New York with similar results.
At that time it was decided that if any
settlement is to be made the traffic
officials of the roads interested should
have it in hand.
Vice President ]. Ross Clark of the
Salt Lake feels assured that the pres
ent meeting will give his road privi-
leges on an equality with those of the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe in
Los Angeles. Other railroad men are
not so confident. Southern Pacific Off
cials here will be surprised if the con-
ference ends in an amicable agreement.
No Deal With Santa Fe
The Santa Fe is said to be not in the
running. Salt Lake officials have not
asked that road for the privileges they
are now demanding from the Hartman
line. The Santa Fe's demand that
whatever privileges are given to the
Salt Lake in Los Angeles must be
given the Santa Fe in San Francisco
has not brought any results.
officials say that if the Salt Lake can
make an agreement with the Southern
Pacific here, the Santa Fe can come to
time if it chooses; otherwise not. The
Hartman system has entrance into
much of the citrus fruit belt served by
the Santa Fe, and the same conditions
hold good in the Los Angeles wholesale
and manufacturing districts
If the conference fails to be produc-
tive of results, Senator Clark has ex-

TAHITI CELEBRATES
FALL OF BASTILLE
NATIVE POPULATION SHOWS
LOYALTY TO FRANCE
Three Days Devoted to Fun and Frolic,
In Which All the Tribes Join, the

By Associated Press.

PAPIETE, Tahiti July 10, via San
Francisco, July 31.-The French ma
tional fete commemorative of the fall
of the Bastille was observed in this
place by the residents of French Ocea-
MICA with more than usual enthusiasm.
Three days were devoted to the festivi-
ties, and during that. time the popula-
ton of Papiete, the capital, was in
creased by fully 5000 visitors. The city
looked remarkably clean in it's new
coat of whitewash and green paint
Early in the month Governor Julien
and his family made trips in various
directions, inviting the natives to at
tend the celebration as token of their
loyalty to France, and offering them
free transportation from the outlying
islands. The result exceeded his ex-
pectations.
The evening of July 13 was devoted to
music and dancing, the chanting of
native songs and the singing of plain
tive tunes in chorus by members of
various tribes. Muscle dances by
trained athleteS were also feature
greatly enjoyed by the American tour
lists present.
On the morning of July IA the gum
boat Zelee fired a salute of twenty-one
guns, and the government officials and
foreign consuls were received by the
governor. There were exciting boat
races in the afternoon and a grand
ball at the government house. After
much fun and frolic, the festival was
terminated by a Venetian fete, the
illumination of the harbor and dis
play of fireworks.
The fourth of July was celebrated
by a picnic given by Consul Doty to a
number of visiting Americans.

and to interchange notes on the matter

that settlement may be arrived at in

The principal prospect Of delay lies
in the desire to submit the revision to

Special to The Herald.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, July 31.-Are the
separate expeditions in Labrador of
Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard, jr.. wife of
the explorer, who lost his life in the
barren regions, and Dillon Wallace, who
accompanied Hubbard on his fatal tour,
a race for gold?
Information obtained today from
friends of Mrs. Hubbard indicates that
the Hubbard and Wallace parties are
not in search of unexplored lands, but
of mines which Hubbard is said to have
discovered before his death.
Before her departure for the north,
6ants in this city that she had in her
possession letters from her husband
telling of his unexpected find, and also
giving the exact location of the mines.
In these letters Mr.. Hubbard intimated
that, in view of his good fortune, he
probably would discontinue his explor-
alton work and return to the United
States, to interest capitalists in the de-
velopment of his gold mines. Mr.. Hub
bard told his wife that these mines
were worth several millions of dollars.
When Mrs. Hubbard and George Ell
sen, the Indian guide, left for the north,
several weeks ago, they maintained a
significant reticence about their trip. 1t
is now learned that Mrs. Hubbard re-
fuses to divulge any details regarding
the expedition, because Wallace un-
doubtedly would learn of them and be-
gin pursuit for the goal which the Hub
bard-Elsen party was bound for.
The friends of Mrs. Hubbard say she
expects to reach the gold mines in less
than four weeks. They say she does
not contemplate taking up the work of
exploring where her husband left off.
as they hardly believe she is hardy
enough to undergo the privation and
suffering to which her husband was
subjected for many weeks before his
death. They also aver that when Mrs.
Hubbard returns here she will give
out a formal statement vindicating
Wallace entirely of the charge of de-
sertion in connection with her hus-
bands death.

NEW HOME FOR CLUB WOMEN

II lay this corner stone to the honor
and glory of womanhood and to the
service for which Ebell stands"
With these words. Mrs. Frank King,
president of the Ebell club, placed the
first trowel of mortar on the corner
stone of the new Ebell home yesterday.
and the exercises of laying the corner
stone were concluded. 1t was only a
plain brown stone bearing the name
"Ebell," the year 1905, and the motto
Itch Dien," but a stone which to every
Ebell woman means the beginning OF
the realization OF a dream of years.
In spite of the fact that many of
the members are out of town at
present, a large company of women
gathered at the building site on
Figueroa street, near Eighteenth, at
10 o'clock yesterday morning to take
part in the exercises.
Mrs. Frank King was mistress of
ceremonies, and assisting her was Mrs.
Sumner P. Hunt, president of the Ebell
Building association. Mrs. King read
a history of the club from the date
of its founding to the present time, and
after describing the events connected
with the administration of each presi-
dent complimented all for their SER
vices to Ebell.
History of Building
Mrs. Hunt read the history Of the
building association and Mrs. Josiah
Evans Cowles, president of the state
federation, and also a member of the
Ebell club, brought greetings on be-
half of the federation. Mrs. Hunt
placed the articles in the stone, and
Mrs. King acted as mason.
Copies of the first prospectus ever
issued by the club, and the last one
issued, were placed in the box, and with
these were also the program of the
first meeting and of the last. The club
history, which had been read by Mrs.
King, and the association history, were
also inserted, with copies of the morn
ing papers. To signify the financial
prosperity which is to come to Ebell,
coins were placed in the stone.
Mrs. King thanked Mrs. Hunt for
her work in the building association
and declared that without her the club
house could not have been possible.
Mrs. Eliza Tupper Wilkes pronounced
the benediction ""''

Pipe Making iu This District.

The plant for the manufacture of cast iron pipe which the Tennessee company is to build at Ensley will be the sixth in the district, including the Anniston and Sheffield plants. It will carry the pipe production of the dis trict to about 35o,000 tons year, and that amount of water and gas pipe con stitutes big feature of this district. The pipe casting center of the coun- try will soon be located here. No other one locality makes as much pipe as this district does, and the scattered pipe plants of the country use Alabama iron freely. The pipe plants of New Jersey are compelled to buy southern iron. The output of the furnaces in the Pittsburg district is not well adapted to pipe-making. Bessemer pipe is not a warm competitor, and 1t never will be- Here is where pipe should be made for the entire country, and the time is fast coming when it will be.
 The new plant of the Tennessee com pany will be an addition of the latest design in which pipe can be made at the least possible cost. If the pipe of the country were made here none or our iron would be shipped away in the raw state, and this is the consumma- tion towards which this district is steadily pulling.
 In round figures this district now produces 1,500,000 tons of pig iron year. and our foundries, steel mills and pipe plants consume just about one third of the product. It will thus be seen that we have great deal to con quer, but when all our pipe plants are in operation 1t ought not be difficult to carry the proportion of consumption to one-half, especially if the Sloss-Shef- field decides to establish a steel and rail mill.

Politics in New York City.

The spirit of unrest is making itself felt in the New York city campaign, and MT. Hearst is expected to becoms the beneficiary of that spirit in the current campaign. He stands for mn- nicipal ownership, and for new shake un in general. He wants all that the candidates of the two big parties do not want. He antagonizes them at all possible points. He is a radical.
 There are observers who would have us believe that the discontent in New York is but a part of the move ment that is sweeping over the coun- try-that it is undermining the repub- lican party as well as the democratic party. These keen-witted folks would have us think that MT. Hearst's vote will exceed MT. Wins vote, and that it renders the result on November 2 decidedly hay and uncertain. The candidate of the Citizens Union is having in short prediction boom.
 But prediction booms are decided ly untrustworthy. and when the votes are counted it will doubtless be ascer- tained that the compact and almost perfect organization of Tammany has rolled up big plurality for Mcclellan, whom it is grooming for the governor ship, if not the presidency. The odds in the betting are on Mcclellan, al though bets have been placed that Hearsts vote will exceed Wins. It is seen that the dissatisfaction extends to the republican party, and that sen timent exists in the big city which has never been fully measured. It will be accurately sized up in the ballot boxes ol the approaching election.

There was mud on the track and gloom in the sky, but still large nun. Der went to the fair yesterday, and they enjoyed it, too. The races gave satisfaction, although the track was heavy and other conditions unfavor- able.
 Yesterdays attendance shows that the people of Alabama desire and really need an annual fair. The peo- pie should not forget that the patron age of the present year will be the measure of next years fair.
 The indications now are that the fair of 1905 will be highly successful financially. If it is, plans will be formed for next year that will ensure an event of variety and excellence. Attendance at the present fair will promote and enlarge next years event. -on't forget that.
