JAPAN WILL
OPEN KOREA
BY BUILDING
Railroads ThrOuehOutthe
Hermit Nation Which
Are Needed
TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY
Material S Chiefly Bought
From United States For
Their Construction.

Toxic, May 4.-One Of the chief
features of the opening Of Korea to
foreign trade is the building of sys
tenn of railroads through the Hermit
Nation" which the japanese have un-
dertaken. When these facilities for
the transportation of goods and pas
sengers have been provided, it is be-
lieved that Korea will become an III
portant center for the extension of
trade in the far east and the little
peninsula will assume a prominent po-
sition, commercially, which will at
tract the serious attention Of the
world of business.
The Seoul-Wiju railroad was open
ed for traffic on December 1, last.
The Japanese had constructed in
thirteen months 80 miles of railroad,
feat of which they are, with good
reason, no little proud. Immediately
after the beginning of the war with
Russia, they had begun the work on
this line, and it is now practically
completed. Yongesan, a little village
on the banks of the river Han, two
miles from Seoul, to the southwest,
is to be the future railroad center of
Korea Here 165 acres of land have
been set aside as railroad reserva-
tion, and the line from Wiju, and the

that the Standard obtained the use of

titive methods, and that they were
developed through special agreements
with railroad companies.
This Advantage has been increased
greatly by discrimination in freight
rates, both published and secret, in
terstate and state, which discrimina-
tion gives the Standard monopolistic
control
Garfield cites the fact that the New
York Central was the only road which
refused to give access to it's records
of state rates. Garfield then refers
to seven instances of important dis
elimination in favor of the Standard,
in various parts of the country, al
though the Standard at the beginning
of the investigation denied that it had
received rebates in late years. He
says that his investigation shows
clearly one glaring defect in the in
terstate commerce law. This is in the
method of filing and publishing tariffs.
All state rates used in connection
with interstate shipments should be
filed with the interstate commerce
commission and radical change
should be made in the direction of
simplifying tariffs and in the methods
of posting them.

ALL
DAY CHARITY

New York, May 3.-The Metropoii-
tan Opera House, usually empty and
cheerless during the morning hours,
presented brilliant spectacle when
the curtain rose at 10 O'Clock this
morning, for the first act of the con-
tinuous charity performance for the
San Francisco sufferers, which will
last, without interruption, until mid
night. The performance, which has
been arranged by the New York AS
sociation of Theatrical Managers, is
the biggest charity performance ever
affdertaken In this city. The house
was well filled when the curtain was
raised at the opening this morning.
The greater part of the morning audi
ence consisted of women and children,
who were entertained by circus and
vaudeville performers. There is not
a theatrical company in the city that
has not volunteered to contribute TO
the success of the performance. IL
has been so arranged that the morn
ing was devoted to vaudeville and cir
Gus performances, while the afternoon
and the evening were devoted to the
dramatic, musical and operate per-
formances, with just enough of vaude-
vile interspersed to bring variety into
the program.
Although the tickets sold for the
entertainment entltle the bearer to sit
through the whole show, it is not ex-
pected that many will avail them
selves of that privilege. Those who
leave the house will not receive re-
turn checks and the result will be that
most of the seats will be sold over
several times thus increasing tho re-
ceipts.

JAMES PETE MCGINTY LEAVES
EARTH BY MORPHINE ROUTE
Dies in a Room at Elite Hotel at Early Hour
This Morning. Roommate AWakeS
and Finds Corpse.
TOOK THE FATAL DOSE SOMETIME YESTERDAY EVENING

James Pete McGinty, a member OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, lies dead at the Borders under
taking establishment, where he was
removed from a room in the Elite
hotel, as a result of an overdose of
morphine, taken, evidently, with sui
cidal intent.
McGinty, apparently about so years
of age, came to Albuquerque the latter
part of March, from Big Springs, Tex
as, where he had been in the emp!oye
of the Texas & Pacific railroad, and
since that time has been staying in
this city, pending the result OF his
application for a position on the San
ia Fe.
Yesterday afternoon he approached
a railroad man, a friend OF his, and
after borrowing fifty cents, stated his
intention of buying carbolic acid and
committing suicide. The friend de-
manded the fifty cents back, whereup-
on McGinty, laughing stated that he
would buy booze instead.
AS his friends knew that he was
given to jOshing, little was thought of
this until this morning about O'Clock
when Harry Kring, an engineer on the
Santa Fe, with whom McGinty often
spent the night in his room at the
Elite hotel, went to his room, where
he found McGinty lying on the bed
with his clothes on.
Thinking that his friend was mere
~ intoxicated kring proceeded TO dis
robe himself, and while undressing
found a note on the dresser in Nc
Gintv's hand writing, which read:
In case Of accident notify my faith

Hastily re- dressing he aroused Nc

Scranton, Pa, May 4.-The conven-.

forenoon in hearing the opinion Of
various delegates on the operators
refusal to grant their demands, and
at 11:45 adjourned until the after
noon, without taking any decisive
action.
Matter Referred to Scale Committee.
With the motion that the policy of
the United Mine workers be referred
back to the scale committee with full
power to act, the delegates convened
in executive session this afternoon. II
the motion prevails 1t is not probable
that the scale committee will declare
a strike. The session lasted an hour,
and it was announced that they had
agreed to refer the matter to the
scale committee. There is every rea-
son to believe that peaceful set
tlement can now be made, and that
the men who have been idle since
April l. will soon be ordered back to
the mines.

Ginty had been employed on the Zuni

new road to Gansan, the principal
port on the east coast, start from this
point. The Seoul-Fusan and the
Seoul-Chemulpo road join with these
for thorough connection, the trains of
all four unning to the capital on COM
mon tracks. 1t is intended, further,
to run a broad gauge road over the
route followed by the military line
from Antung to Fang Yany Cheng,
and beyond, and to bridge the YaIu
at a point above that place. With
tracks laid from Antung to Mukden,
the railway in northern Korea will be-
come section of the great rtunk
line.
The total of the new roads to date
has been, roughly estimating about
fifteen million dollars, and an addi-
tional ten millions and four years
work will be required to put the lines
into final shape. While at present
but one tunnel, $50 feet long, has
been constructed, there will event
ually Re eighteen, with total length
of 1S0, $50 feet. The standard gauge,
feet, S15 inches, has been used for
me Seoul-Wiju and Seoul-Gesan rail
roads, as for the other railroads in
Korea, and this fact furnishes a
striking example of the general intro
duction of American methods and ma
terials where once footing has been
established. The American Trading
company built the first railroad in
Korea, in 1S97-99, using the American
gauge, American engines, and Ameri-
can cars and materials throughout,
and the Japanese bought out the orig
inal concessionaries, and, to insure
uniformity, built on the same lines.
OF the 6O-pound rails used, some came
from Germany, but most of them
came from the Carnegie works, in
this country. The ties come largely
from the United States, and the spikes
from the Illinois Steel company. The
bridges are now chiefly of wood and
built on piles. The total length Is
44,SOO feet. the longest being 27S5
feet. The construction has been very
difficult, owing to shifting bottoms,
swift currents and frozen streams in
winter, ice floes in spring and the
summer floods. The greatest OBJ
stacles were met at Anju. where two
rivers met. The bridge materials
used are lergaly American, although
some were imported from England,
and the Osaka Steel company of Japan
supplied a small proportion.

COMMISSIONER GARFIELD HAS
THOROUGHLY EXPOSED METHODS
STANDARD OIL MONOPOLY USED
W0EFUL WASTE OF
FUEL IN POWER

Washington, d. c., May THE re-
port of the Geological survey of the
United States, just issued, contains
some interesting facts in regard to the
terrific waste of fuel in this country.
which statements are of especial in
teresL owing to the probability of a
general coal strike in the near future.
After stating that the people of the
United States expend approximately
$1,000, 100000 year for fuel for the
production of light, heat and power,
the report says:
The losses in the utilization of fuel
for the development of power. light
and heat under existing conditions
are so great that in ton of coal con-
sumed in an ordinary manufacturing
plant less than per cent of the total
energy is available for the actual
work of manufacturing; that in any
ordinary locomotive only from to 5
per cent of the fuel energy is OBJ
tanned for pulling the train; rnat IN
our houses ordinarily not more than
II of l per cent of the fuel energy
Is actually transformed into electric
light; that gases from blast furnaces
of the country are now lost in the
atmosphere that would yield contin-
uously, if properly utilized, more than
100000 hourse power; and that by
products might be saved from the 40,-
100000 tons of coal which We nov
convert into coke, that would aggre-
gate yearly value much greater than
of the coke itself. These by-products
would include ammonium sulphate
sufficient to fertilize cur farms, creo-
sote for the preservation of our tim
Der, and pitch enough to briquet our
slack Goals, roof our houses and re-
pair some of our roads. How appall-
ing that such waste should continue
after we know that it exists. I'm
fortunately, it is not always clear,
even to those who best understand
the nature and uses of coal, how such
economies may be effected. No
methods are known, for instance, by
which more than one-sixth of the
nitrogen in coal can be saved in the
manufacture of coke. There is no
subject touching the welfare of the
human race on which research is
more needed than in the economy in
the use OF fuel.

Washington, d. c., May 4.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today transmitted to
congress the report of Commissioner
of Corporations Garfield, giving the
result of his investigation into the
subject of transportation and freight
rates, as regards contracts with the
oil industry.
In his message the president ex-
pressed the view that the report is of
capital importance. The facts set
forth in the report are for the most
part undisputed. The president says
the report shows clearly that the
Standard Oil company has benefited
enormously, up almpst to the present
moment, by secret rates, man. of
which were unlawful, the benefits
thereby amounting to at least three
quarters of million a year.
The striking result of the investi-
cation, he said, was that after the
discovery of these secret rates by the
commissioner of corporations, most of
them were cancelled by the railroads,
which he considered an acknowledge
ment that they were wrong. The
statement is added that the depart
ment of justice will take up the ques-
ton of instituting prosecutions in GER
tain of thes cases.
He favors the element of competi-
tion by the passage of some such law
as that which has already passed the
house, the putting of alcohol used in
the arts and manufacturers on the
free list-and of keeping the title to
the oil and coal lands of the Indian
tribes or on the public domain in gov
ernment hands, to be leased only on
such terms and for such periods as
will enable the government to entire
ly control them.
Commissioner Garfied's Report.
In summarizing his report, Commits
sioner Garfield speaks of his personal
visit to the oil fields and of the great
mass of data obtained by him per-
sonally and through his bureau. He
found that the output amounted to
