Redmanship.

An effort is being made to have the
Improved Order Of Red Men in the res
ervation of California celebrate Decem-
Der 16. the anniversary of the cele-
brated Boston tea party, when q num-
Der of patriotic colonists disguised as
Narragansett Indians dumped three
cargoes of tea into the harbor named.
With this event arose an association
which in after years crystallized into
the Improved Order of Red Men. and
it is believed that the anniversary
should be fittingly observed every year.
The initiative in this matter was taken
recently by Prophet Charles N Grant.

OFFICIALS ARE PLEASED
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, June 13.-For the first
time since the keels were laid down the
battleship Connecticut. which is being
built by the Government at the New
York navy yard, is further progressed
than her sister ship, the Louisiana, un-
der construction by the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry-Dock Company at
Newport News, Va.
Chief Constructor Capps. in the month
ly- naval progress statement, shows that
the Connecticut is 1773 per cent COM
pleted, while the Louisiana is rs per cent
completed. This Is great encouragement
10 the navy officials. They now hope
that the Connecticut will be completed
before the Louisiana and the old saying
tina work in Government navy yards is
slower than in private shipbuilding yards
will be partially disproved.
The keel of the Louisiana was laid on
February Z. 1903; that of the Connecticut
one month later The Connecticut is a
big ship to be built at the New York
navy yard, where the facilities are few
for special work Until June / the Con-
necticut's rate of progress was slower
than that of the Louisiana.
The gain now shown does not mean.
however. that ship building in Govern
ment navy yards is a success. In his
last annual report Chief Constructor
Capps said:
Although every possible precaution has
been taken to reduce the cost Of the Con-
necticut to the most economical basis, 1t
can hardly be done as cheaply as when
performed in private shipbuilding yards,
whose rate of pay for nine hours work
are in many cases less than those being
paid for eight hours work at the New
York navy yard

GOTHAM s DEATH
RATE INCREASING
Spread of Heart Ailments
and Bright's Disease Due
to the Race for Riches
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-Between 1868 and
1904 the annual death rate from heart
disease and Bright's disease in New York
City increased from 1906 to 29.69 per 1000
population. In 1903, with the same ratio
to 1904. there was an increase in deaths
from these diseases of PAP in each 10000.
While this was considered alarming
increase in the mortuary records, the
fact that 125 persons died last week from
organic heart disease, when the death
rate for the corresponding week IN 1904
was only fifty-six. has given rise to the
belief among physicians that New York
residents are living too rapid lives.
The strain of business and cares at
tendant on anxiety to gain wealth is
given as an explanation by physicians of
the conditions that exist. Physicians
have established the fact that the nerve
forces which control both the stomach
and the heart are affected by the hurry
of men in the daily scramble to bolt their
food in order to quickly resume their
business duties.

JoBBERS' SUIT MAY BRING
ABOUT IMPORTANT RESULTS
Decision Favorable to City Mny Lead to
Dfscontinunnce Of state Toll Col
lection by Railroads.

Important results may come from the
suit instituted by the Pacific Coast Job
bers' and Manufacturers Association to
prevent the Southern Pacific Company
from collecting State tolls on freight
brought into San Francisco by the coast
line. II the Southern Pacific is stopped
from collecting the tolls on the coast
line freight II ought to have rate OF
five cents per ton less into the city
than that of the Santa Fe. which can
not escape paying the fve cents per
ton exacted by the Harbor Commis-
sioners.
Merchants said yesterday that the
probable effect of stopping the pay
ment of State tolls on the coast line
would be to compel the Santa Fe to
throw off Ave cents ton by the ferry
route that the company may be on even
terms with its competitor. Then. In
turn, TO even up with the Santa Fe, the
Southern Pacific might throw of the
five cents that IT collects on freights
that pass over the State water front In
this city. This would bring about a
total abrogation of the. conditions that
put San Francisco at disadvantage in
competition with other Pacific Coast
terminal points. The Southern Pacific
will file an answer to the complaint of
the Jobbers' and Manufacturers Associ-
alton with the Interstate Commission.
