NO YOTEAAS TAKEN
ON THE SHOOT CASE
NUMEROUS CHANGES IN DATES
OF MEETING CAUSES A MIsUN-
pERsTANDING AND SEVERAL OF
THE COMMITTEE ABSENT.

Washington, May 25.-No vote was had
TODAY in the Senate committee on prlvi-
Ieges and elections on the right of Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah to retain his seat IN
the Senate chiefly because it developed
that in the numerous changes of dates for
the meeting, Senators Hopkins and Dolli-
yer failed-t to receive the notice that action
was to be taken today. Both of these
senators as well as Senators Depew,
Bailey and Frazier were absent. The
three last named had left proxies. The
committee adjourned until Friday next.
Opposition to voting at the present ses-
sion was voiced by three or four senators,
who said that the railroad rate bill has
taken SO much of their time that they
had not had an opportunity to read the
authorities quoted by the attorneys on
both sides of the case. Chairman Bur
rows and the democratic senators present
objected to permitting the case to go over
until next session. Notices of meeting
to be held on Friday have been ordered
mailed ON Monday in order that there may
be no misunderstanding concerning 1t.

COAL BUSINESS RUINED
BY CAR DISCRIMINATION

and said he had no doubt that dlscrimina-
ton had been practiced against his COM
pany, because it had failed to make
gifts of stock to the railroad officials.
He gave 1t as his opinion that President
A. j. Cassatt was responsible for the
alleged discrimination.
Through railroad employees 1t was de-
veloped that until recently the Berwind-
White company's coal was shipped to
tidewater without being weighed. Instead,
the railroad estimated the weight of each
car by adding 10 per cent to the capacity
figures stencilled on the car. 1t was also
shown that the Susquehanna Coal COM
pany, which is owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, has the exclusive use
of Greenvlle pier, New York harbor,
and has a virtual monopoly of the sale of
bunker coal to tugs and small steamers.
1t was brought out that certain coal
companies are given allowances for oper-
ating spurs from their mines to the main
lines, and that the railroad made this
allowance to the Latrobe-Conn ellsville
company when the spur was operated by
the railroad.

Don't Show OF the Baby.

Frank Barley Copley in Give the Baby
a Chance" in The Outing Magazine for
June
Too great emphasis cannot be laid on
this matter of shielding the baby from
excitement Undoubtedly the temptation
to show him off is very great-he is such
O. cunning little dear, and he has such
pretty tricks. But decide now. Is II
your desire to crafty your pride or pro-
mote your baby's welfare? 1t Is great
mistake to handle an infant any more
than necessary, not only on the score OF
his nerves but on that of his bones Baby
bones, you know are soft; thus constant
handling tends to destroy the shapeliness
of his body. The greater part of his
early life should be spent on the bed.
When he gets tired of lying in one posi-
ton. gently roll him over without picking
him up When 1t is strictly necessary To
lift him, there is only one way to do so
without subjecting any part Of his BODY
TO pressure or strain that may endanger
a delicate organ. With your right hand
grasp his clothing just below his feet
and then spread out your left hand and
extend 1t along his spine until your palm
is supporting his neck and head In this
way baby's clothing is made to form
hammock in which he comfortably lies

FAMILY JEwELs-NEW STYLE.
Are Jewels That All the Family Can
Wear.

From the New York Sun.
1.-THE term family jewels has attained a
new significance of late" said a jeweller.
According to the modern Interpretation,
a family jewel Is one that 1t Is possible
for the entire family to wear, mamma,
papa and the children.
you see there's q certain class here in
New York that may be characterized as
the impecunious rich. While they are
undeniably rich, still they can't afford to
spend q small fortune on passing fancies
in the jewelry line. and in order to make
as good an appearance as their richer
acquantances without to great expense
the family jewel scheme is very popular.
"Of course, diamonds are generally con-
sidered the most desirable purchase from
the standpoint of an investment. Fashions
come and fashions go. but diamonds are
always In style.
For this reason they are the chief
Jewel investment of the impecunious rich.
Only the other day / sold a pair of per-
fectly matched diamonds to wealthy
woman--a woman having comparatively
few Jewels but what she has are very
choice.
'These diamonds were to be mounted as
earrings. each stone and it's setting to
screw into small gold plate arranged
to hold it and so made that the stona
could be quickly removed and a flligree
gold ball take it's place. This ball, Of
course was provided with a similar screw.
"At the same she ordered a beauti-
fully wrought gold scarf pin and heavy
finger ring both for her husband. These
were with blank settings into which the
diamonds screwed firmly In this way
she not only secured pair of handsome
earrings but on occasions her husband
could sport a new and very beautiful
diamond scarf pin and an extra diamond
ring into the bargain, provided always
that his wife didn't care to wear he-
earrings at the same time.
"Then / have another rich woman in
mind who occasionally wears bar pin
set with five perfectly matched diamonds.
Few know 1t, but on occasion these dia-
monds may be unscrewed from their
settings in the pin and distributed among
the entire family.
Husband may decide to wear one in
the empty setting Of his scarf pin The
grown up son may speak for one as a
ring Daughter may screw one into the
setting waiting for it in the face of Der
thin gold locket, mother taking the two
others for earrings. Single pearls may
be used in the same way, or single
handsome pearl surrounded by diamonds
is well adapted to this scheme"

Philadelphia, May 25-Several interest
ing developments marked the closing ses-
sion of the interstate commerce commits
sion's investigation into the alleged dis
elimination by railroads in the distribu-
ton of cars in the bituminous coal fields.
The commission adjourned today.
Next week the members of the commits
sion will go to Washington to examine
the evidence presented here and it is
likely that the investigation will be re-
sumed in the capital the latter part of
next week.
Sensational testimony was given today
by F. Albert Won Boyneburg, general
manager of the Eekert Bros.'s Co., coal
operators. He stated that within the last
two and one-half years his company's
car supply had been SO inadequate that
the business had been practically ruined.
He declared that other companies had
been favored in the distribution of cars

TELEGRAPH OFFICE
Perched on Pole Acted as Western
Union Plant for Days.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
For the first time in It's history San
Francisco was absolutely without tele-
graphic communication with the outside
world for three hours on the morning of
April 1S.-Following the earthquake, which
occurred at SIP a. M. and for three hours
thereafter, not a single wire of the score
or more usually in operation was In SER
vice, and the busy click of the sending in
struments was stilled. Ceaselessly through
every hour of the day and night messages
are speeding to the most remote sections
of the globe, and to have the busy work
ings of the 'tickers" stopped for min
ute is an event in Geographic history.
Quick to realize the havoc which could
be wrought by so mighty a trembler as
that which preceded the big fire. Harry
Jeffs, chief Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, who lives in Oakland,
lost no time In reaching the mole for the
purpose of testing the scores of wires
which emerge from the water at that
point 1t took the expert but few mo-
ments TO ascertain that communication
in San Francisco beyond the ferry build
ing was entirely cut off. Not an instru-
ment responded to his efforts. Turning his
attention to the wires extending from
the end of the pier to the various sta
that they had been hopelessly KILLED
by the great shake.
The seriousness of the situation called
for quick action, for aside from the great
monetary loss to the company resulting
from even a short interruption of the
service, was the seriousness of being cut
off from the outside world Securing an
engine, the wire chief started out from
the mole, and climbing poles at intervals
he Wa tagfp1 the WirQa To-
cate the break. In this way he covered the
entire pier until he reached the shore at
West Oakland. Here, at pole almost at
Lands End, after calling on each dead
wire separately. he at last received re-
sronse from Sacramento, and knew thai
ne had at last found the point of severed
communication.
Perched upon thirty-foot pole, Jeffs
gave the capital the first story of the
disaster sent out by wire at $50 o'clock
in the morning. In quick succession. by
means OF relays. Los Angeles, Salt Lake.
Denver and other places heard of the ca
lamity that had befallen the metropolis
OF the Pacific coast. For eighteen hours
Jeffs stuck to his lofty perch trying with
patience of Job TO straighten the tangle
in the mass of wires with a small set of
testing instruments he had obtained at
the pier This was a heroic task. for the
mighty sway of the trembler had brought
the wires together. tying them up in great
confusion.

eighteen were in full operation from the

Gated. This did not mean the restoration
