special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Secretary
Leslie M. Shaw is to retire from the
cabinet and Postmaster General George
b. Cortelyou is to succeed him as the
head of the treasury department. 1t is
possible to make these statements to-
day on authority that cannot be gain
said. 1t is the belief that the secretary
of the treasury will retire much earlier
than Februry 1, the date that had
been set.
1t is expected that on the assembling
of the incoming congress the senate will
be asked to confirm the appointment of
Mr.. Cortelyou as Mr.. Shaw's successor,
and some other man as postmaster
general to fill the vacancy made by the
incumbent's promotion to the treasury
portfolio.
Secretary Shaw has contemplated re-
firing from President Roosevelts cab
met ever since the election last fall.
There is little doubt that Mr.. Shaw
would like to be the presidents sue
cessor in the White House, and he feels
that a more consistent canvass can be
made If he ceases to be a member of the
chief executives official family.
There is little doubt in the minds of
the Washington officials that Mr.. Roose-
velt has intended from the first 20
make Mr.. Cortelyou the secretary of
the treasury at the first opportunity.

Won sTERNBERe THROWS GLASS
AT DR.. WOLFF
Strikes Him in Chest With Missile and
a Great Uproar FolIoWs-President
Unable to Restore Order and the
Meeting Is Adjourned
By Associated Press.

VIENNA, Oct. A disorderly scene
occurred in the lower house of parlia-
ment today, resulting in the suspension
of the sitting amid general uproar.
While Baron Won Sternberg was speak
ing during the debate on the govern
ment's declaration of policy he was
continually and badgeringly interrupt
ed by DR.. Wolff, the pan-German
leader. Won Sternberg appealed to DR..
Wolff to desist, but the latter per-
sisted. Finally Won Sternberg lost his
temper and threw water glass at DIR.
Wolff, striking him on the chest. A
great uproar followed. but the presi-
dent of the house called Dr. Won
Sternberg to order. The German MEM
bers were not satisfied with this meas
ure and manded that Won Sternberg
apologize.
The sitting was resumed after an
hour. when the president said he eX-
pected an expression of regret from
Won Sternberg. The baron in apologize
ing admitted that his action had not
been in accordance with the rules of
the house, but he insisted that he had
acted in legitimate self defense,
though certainly he had not been po-
lite. The president withdrew the
baron's right to speak and the latter
attempted to continue amid the wild
est uproar. The president was unable
to secure order and adjourned the
house until tomorrow.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 4.-Though

Fairly reliable evidence indicates that
no parties went away from the scene
by boat. 1t that is true the three men
who fled inland were the only ones en-

CATTLEMAN GIVES
QUEER TESTIMONY
EXPLAINS HOW HE OBTAINED
SPECIAL RATES
Practically Admits That He Entered
Into Conspiracy With Commission
Man to Manipulate Billing So as to
Deceive the Railroad Company
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Lively interest
was evoked by w. S. Tasker of Chi
cago, live stock commission dealer
and cattle feeder, who testified before
the state commerce commission today
regarding freight rates on live stock
products from Missouri river points to
Chicago.
Tasker testified that on one occasion
he shipped herd of cattle from points
in Western Wisconsin to Chicago by
way of st. Paul at a much less freight
rate than he could have shipped the
live stock direct to Chicago. The tariff
from the points where he shipped in
Wisconsin to Chicago, was % cents a
hundred. BY shipping to st. Paul and
thence to Chicago he was able to OBJ
tain a rate of Is 1-2 cents per hundred
pounds, although the distance the COM
modify had to be transported was
about 300 miles further than by the
direct route.
How did you manage to get that
rate for your tile by way of South st.
Paul?" inquired Attorney Seaverns of
the Chicago Great Western railroad.
by through billing, of course.
arranged with a. live stock commission
dealer in South ST. Paul to have 1T done
for me-" replied the witness.
THAT low proportionate rate between
South st. Paul and Chicago was only
intended for cattle shipments consigned
to Chicago from points in Montana, the
Dakotas and Minnesota, and you knew
1t, did you not?" asked the railroad at
torney.
"Yes."
"Then, as matter of fact, you en-
tered into a conspiracy with the COM
mission man to manipulate the billing
so that cattle received in South st. Paul
from western points and sold there
would appear to have been shipped to
Chicago, while your cattle were sub
stituted under the pretense that they
were really the animals shipped
through?"
'I suppose that was the way it was
done. I understood the same thing
had been done before"

PRESIDENT BENT UPON
RAILROAD LEGISLATION
HOLDS CONFERENCE RESPECTING
PROPOSED MEASURE
Representative Townsend Reports
Changes VIII Be Made for Purpose
of Making Bill Clearer and IncIud-

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-"President
Roosevelt is dead in earnest on the
question Of railroad rate legislation and
road regulations shall be enacted look
ing to federal supervision of the
freight rate situation"
This statement was made today by
Representative Townsend of Michigan.
one of the authors of the so-called
Esch-Townsend railroad rate bill. Rep
resentative Townsend called today to
talk over the general subject with the
president and the necessity for making
certain changes in the measure which
he and Mr.. Esch proposed last winter.
"I have no authority to represent the
presidents views as to railroad rates,
said Mr.. Townsend, "but I can say that
he entertains now the same views, In
principal, as he expressed in his mes
sage last December. The cruX of the
whole matter is not that the commits
sion should fix rates, but that 1t should
have the power to substitute a reason
able rate for one found on investiga-
ton to be unjust. Without such au-
thority the evils complained of could
not be reached"
Have any suggestions been made of
changes in the Esch-Townsend meas
ure?" he was asked.
"Some changes may be made" re-
piled Mr.. Townsend. "but they will be
for the purpose of making the bill
clearer on certain points. 1t is intend
ed, of course. to include in the regu-
lations private cars, refrigerator cars
and terminal charges. We thought
these We're covered by our measure,
but in order that there may be no ques-
ton about them they will be included
in the bill in definite way One thing
is quite certain-there will be no mar
rowing of the scope of the bill, nor

PRISONER SETS
CLOTHING AF|RE
MAN ATTEMPTS TO CREMATE
HIMSELF
After Being Frustrated In Effort to
Commit Suicide In City jail by
Hanging, Mexican Trlea
to Die by Fire

Failing in an attempt to hang himself
by the chain which held him prisoner,
j. Garcia, prisoner in the city Jail,
tried to cremate himself in the dungeon
in the city Jail early last evening by
setting his clothes on fire. The smell
of burning cloth reached the jailer, who
Immediately began an investigation,
which resulted in rescuing Garcia be-
fore he had been seriously injured.
When the jailer and the three TRUSTEES
attempted to enter Garcia's cell the
madman flew at them in a frenzy of
rage, and with his clothing in flames
fought with hands, feet and teeth. 1t
was all that the four men could do to
overpower the maniac.
With his face scorched and his hair
badly singed, he was dragged to the
receiving hospital, where the muffs
cries could be heard over the building
and the attendants found it impossible
to keep him quiet.
Garcia Is an old-timer in the city jail
and has been in the tank many times
of late on various charges. AT pres
ent he is serving a term for petit lar
ceny and has been on the chain gang.
Garcia has had many liberties because
of his willingness to work when on the
chain gang.
1t was because OF his faithfulness that
he was allowed to enter the officers
wash room yesterday when he returned
just before 5 o'clock from his day S
work.
Sets Clothing Afire
Shortly afterward an officer entered
the room and was Mortified to find
Garcia dangling from the end of the
chain. Help was quietly summoned and
the man was rescued. Garcia had taken
the long chain, unfastened 1t from his
ankle and, after fastening it around
his neck, had tossed the heavy ball over
the partition. There he dangled when
found by the policeman.
The insane man was handcuffed and
taken to the dungeon below. where he
was left by the officers, who thought
that he would soon quiet down, but
instead he only became more violent.
Finding that his curses and cries
were unheeded, he conceived the idea OF
cremating himself. He tore his clothes
/ In shreds and lighted them in several
places with matches. Calmly as an In
dian brave might stand at the stake,
Garcia planted himself before the dun
geon door, where the breeze could fan
the flames and awaited death.
1t was in this condition that the
jailer found hin1-a living torch. AS
soon as Garcia found that he had been
discovered he uttered curse and
rushed at the keeper as he attempted
to open the door. Calling for help, the
jailer entered and soon overpowered
the crazed man.
Garcia was for some time confined in
the Napa insane hospital, but was re-
1ao tnl6
by the police surgeon that he would be
sent back to Napa if he attempted to
kill himself or showed any signs of
violence. Garcia grinned in an idotic
way and replied that he wanted to go

WAR AT OCCIDENTAL OVER
GREEK LETTER SOCIETIES
co-EDS REFUSE TO SURRENDER
SORORITY PINS
Associated Students Organization Or
ders That No Secret Symbols Be
Worn and Command Meets With
Storm of Opposition

Fair coeds-and some of the mascu-
line contingent also-at Occidental col
lege, have declared open warfare
against the Associated Students Or
ganization and there is a promise of
startling developments at the Presby-
terian institution.
1t all came about when the Associated
Students decreed that no Greek letter
pins shall be worn. Now there are two
Cheek letter organizations at Occi-
dental, one for men and another for
women, and members of these say the
societies have existed with the sanction
of the faculty.
Nothing has been said against the
English letter societies, of which there
are several and which, it is asserted,
take a more active part in college af-
fairs than do their foreign rivals.
1t is supposed however that the Greek
letters give an air of exclusiveness to
the two societies which does not har-
monize with the democratic principles
of the Associated Students.
The edict has gone forth, however,
that the pins must be surrendered, The
boys society, so it is said, agreed to do
as the student body demanded.
But not so the goods. I'VE Just won't
give UP our pins said a pretty mem-
Der of lambda Sigma Nu yesterday.
I'VE bought those pins and no asso-
ciated student organization can force
us to part with them. We will wear
them now at all COSTS
1t is said that in case the girls re-
main steadfast in their determination
the Associated Students will appeal to
the faculty, but what action that body
will take is problematical.
Arthur Paul and Watson Burt are at
the head of the Associated Students
and the Greek letter people say these
young men are in part responsible for
the recent order
