LUMBER NEEDED FOR CARS.
Some of the Supply Fields Have Been
Exhausted.

While the bulk of the recent large or
ders for cars are for all steel construc-
tion, and many for steel underframes,
the number of wooden cars and those
with wooden appearances is so large,
says the Railway Aage, as to excite
some interest in the minds of those who
have to do with the lumber supply and
prices.
The supply of Norway pine in this
country is practically exhausted, and
very little of it is now used for car
sills Long leaf yellow pine sills have
been obtained from Georgia. Florida
and Alabama for so long a time and in
such large quantities that the supply
begins to show signs of exhaustion, but

limited supplies of car timber. South

composed of a locomotive, four

RISE IN SALT RIVER
Reported to Be Doing Some Damage
at the Arizona Head.

Some rather disquieting news
reached Phoenix last night which it is
hoped will be dissipated. or at least
made no worse by information expect
ed this morning. The news came in
from the vicinity of Glendale that the
Arizona dam had gone out again and
the farmers were busy filling their
tanks from the present water in the
canals. superintendent McDermott
was found and said he knew all about
the story for he had started IL him
self, though naturally it had grown
some by repeating. He said that the
dam was not injured. or was not at his
latest advices last night, ard he did
not believe it would be. Above the
dam was a gravel dyke thrown across
the river for the purpose of partly
diverting the flow and he was inform
ed by telephone last evening that the
flood water was washing away the
dyke. Just how badly It is injured he
did not know but he believed that in
any event the dam itself would not be
hurt The worst that could happen he
thought would be a washing of the
water around the end of the dam.
AS soon as he heard the news Sup
erintendent McDermott informed the
zanjeros and instructed them to tell
the farmers to fill their tanks if they
could merely as matter of precaution
against an emergency.

enough. These officers were the prin-
cipal shareholders in the subsidiary

were regularly divided among them

The press reports vary somewhat as
to the directorate's vote authorizing
the stopping of this graft" Some
say it was preceded by a long discus
sion;" others say the debate was
heated" President Morton himself
has been quoted as saying consider
able" discussion. But why should the
subject necessitate any discussion at
all? The turning away of that prof
liable business may not be unlawful
but it is dangerously near it. And
one would expect that the reorsanized,
rehabilitated and reform" directorate
would make short work of any prop
osition to forbid the continuance Of q
practice so manifestly unfair if not
actually fraudulent. Instead, it was
characterization means, of course,
that there were objections. Objections
to abandoning a vicious policy!
Among the directors present We're
several who were members of the old
board whose transactions precipttated
the Equitable scandals that have cost
it a loss of nearly $10.00O,000 in new
business during the past eight months.
Obviously. the giving up of graft is
like the pulling of teeth. Reform
works slowly, laboriously and tedious
ly where the refofmer is engaged in
making himself ever.

OmInous Morocco.

How much trouble the German en-
peror may have made by his sensa-
tional trip to Morocco is a problem
which only the future can solve. 1t
is clear enough already that the task
of dealing with the sultan has become
more difficult. The arrangement which
gave France a free hand was obvi-
ousIy for the benefit of civilization. In
emphasizing his determination to be
consulted the emperor may possibly
have increased German prestige, al
though it may be doubted If the repu-
tation of being a marplot is a valua-
BILE asset for any nation. But at the
same time he added to the burden he
was anxious for Germany to share.
That is to say. the sultan. aware Of
the jealousy and ill-feeling among the
European powers, can resist every at
tempt to bring pressure to bear upon
him by playing off one against an
other. 1t is a kind of diplomacy es-
pecialIy calculated to please one of his
type.
His present resistance to the just
demands of France cannot be sup
ported, of course. by Germany. BY
insistence upon the right to be con-
suited in Moroccan affairs that power
is practically pledged to enforce upon
the sultan a reasonable degree of civ
iIized behavior. Some perception OF
this fact may have led him to with
draw from an impossible position and
release the Algerian citizen Bouzian
Evidently, however, he has not yet
been brought to the point of Offering
redress for Bouzian's arrest Upon this
the French government will properly
insist Even the nerveless NJ. Rou-
vier will see that the national honor is
not openly fouted by a barbarian. The
presence of a few warships will doubt
less exercise a wonderful influence
upon the sultan's mind. particularly
when 1t is made clear that his great
and good friend, the German emperor.
has no idea of stepping into the
breach. But it is none the less unfor-
tunate that his disposition to make
trouble should have been increased by
certain recent events. Morocco may
vet be the scene of a serious conflict.

Where .0raft" Dies Hard.

The New York Commercial discuss
ing a phase of the Equitable readjust
ment says:
BY a vote of the Equitable director
ate authority has been given to Pres
fdent Morton to carry the so-called
agents balances as strictly company
business instead of farming them
out. to the society's subsidiary COM
panies at a large yearly profit TO the
latter These balances" are, briefly,
the loans or advances to the society's
agents made in anticipation of the
commissions coming to them from the
renewals of old policies in distinction
from those paid to them for new bus
mess. They approximate 100000 a
year, and the interest that they earn
is fully $4,000 annually. Heretofore
the society has turned this business
over to the Equitable Trust company
of New York and the Commercial
Trust company of Philadelphia.
An unsophisticated person, ignorant
OF latter-day finance, might ask
"Why?" Why should the Equitable
society, which has often found it diff
ffcult to invest or profitably employ
its own immense cash accumulations
turn away a perfectly safe loan bus
mess worth $4,000 a year in profits?
Simply because certain of it's officers
wanted that $4,000 for themselves
personally, instead of permitting the
society to earn it for the benefit of it's
policy holders. The process was easy

Points From the Orient.

DR.. Louis L. Seaman. who during
the last six months has been studying
at the seat of the late war in Man
churia the Japanese methods of taking
care of the sick and wounded, arrived
in New York last week. He re-
ports that everything was ready in
Marshal Oyama's armies for great
and probably successful action, and
that the Japanese have at last pro-
duced a large and efficient cavalry
force. thousands of horses having been
bought in this country and in Austria
liza. not to speak Of the large numoer'
captured from the Russians. In re-
gard to purely surgical matters ne
reports that he has seen 260 wounded
men put on board a Japanese hospital
shin in 35 minutes-his comparison is
with "three days on the average" when
we were doing things in Cuba-and
that during the war the japanese have
lost only one man by disease to every
two killed in the regular performance
of duty. He gives the peace Just
agreed upon fifteen years of life. esu-
mating that by that time Russia viii
have recuperated sufficiently for an
other struggle" while Gin the mean
time Japan must keep on preparing
herself
What we wish to direct attention to
particularly, however, among the inn
pressions and information brought
back by DR.. Seaman. is a brief state
ment made to him by DR.. F. F. Tong,
a high Chinese official, in regard to the
Chinese boycott. DR.. Tong crossed the
Pacific ocean in the same ship with
DR.. Seaman, and this, according to a
report in the New York Times, is
what he said:
Our students cannot get their nos
es into your universities even. Three
thousand of our young men are now
being educated in Japan. great
many are receiving their college train
ing in England and Germany. We
have instituted this boycott not to
drive you and your trade out Of our
country, but to get you to give us a
chance for our young men. We know
that the only way to make your con-
gress and your business men under
stand the situation is to hit their
pockets
This desire of leading men among
the Chinese people to secure an edu-
cation for their sons in the United
States-a desire that undoubtedly
widely exists-should make powerful
appeal to the common sense and spirit
of fair play that prevail in this coun-
try. Take the single point in regard
to the three thousand Chinese lads
who are now making their studies in
Japan. 1t is in that way that trade
grows and commerce is made com
manding. Ten or fifteen years hence
the commercial statistics Of China will
show that Japan has a magnificent
trade with that country, and we shall
be told. that the low rate of wages
paid in Japan is the main cause of this
growth; whereas the primary cause
will be the acquaintanceship, com
radeship and growth in modern ideas
that Chinese youngsters are now Sc
curing in Japan by being educated in
that country. Our chance is almost
as good as Japan's. if We would only
take il.
