SEEK A "HUGHES"
FOR RAILROADS.
Big Graft in Contracts to Be Charged
Against Pennsylvania Line
Officials.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May %
Ugly stories of graft in the purchase
of locomotives, steel rails, cars and
are in circulation, and a legislative in
quiry is now declared to be certain.
Another sensation to be sprung by the
interstate commerce commission on
Wednesday is evidence that many Of the
Pennsylvania officials ''got theirs" from
the coal and oil companies in cash. The
agent is said to have been a former SUI
perintendenI OF transportation. Ihe
money was given to him by the coal or
Oil companies and he placed it in blank
envelopes, these being given to various
officers.
Officials Get Big Sums?
The rumors of graft in the purchase of
supplies declare that officials of the rail-
road have received big sums for placing
large orders with favored steel compa
MES.
Back of the demand for a legislative
inquiry are the minority stockholders
who have been startled by the exposures.
Owing to the restrictions placed upon the
investigation of the interstate commerce
commission by the resolution passed by
Congress-, many avenues which would
prove or disprove the allegation of gen
eral graft cannot be entered. Therefore
the minority stockholders desire to know
just what safeguards against graft are
taken in other departments than coal or
oil traffic. They have already secured
counsel.
1t is argued that the desired result can
only be obtained by the appointment of a
committee by the Legislature to under
take the task, such committee to be
organized on the same plan as the Arm
strong committee, which unearthed the
insurance scandals in New York. The
caution with which many financial inter
ests have received the announcement of
the recent $5O,OOO,0OO loan by the rail-
road has done much to push this desire
for an inquiry.
Gives Carnegie the Lie.
In an interview which touched upon
the Investigation the railroad itself will
carry on, Vice President John Green
gave the lie direct to Andrew Carnegie,
who last week denied receiving rebates
from the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr..
Green supported the assertion of Presi-
dent Cassatt in a recent magazine article,
in which the PennsyIvanias president
said that Andrew Carnegie's steel com
panles received more rebates than any
other shipper on the road. He further
contradicted Mr.. Carnegie, who denied
that he ever had any personal interview
with President Cassatt.
There is just this about it." said Mr..
Green, ''our records show that the steel
companies governed by Andrew Carnegie
received more rebates during the time
they were given by the road than any
other shipper in any line of business. l
have not the slightest doubt that Mr..
Carnegie held not one, but several con-
ferences with President Cassatt on the
subject. / also know that Mr. Cassatt's
refusal to grant rebates after the enact
ment of the Sherman law led to strained
relations between us and Carnegie's COM
panies.
why does Carnegie deny it all now?

FIRE WORSHIP is TRAGIC.
Fanatics Exhibition by Tahitians IN
Berkeley (Cal.) Nearly Fatal to
Priest and His Wife.

BERKELEY, Cal, May 22.-An ex-
hibition performance of the rites OF the
pagan worship of fire practiced by the
fire walkers of Tahiti, given i'll Berkeley
Monday, almost ended in tragedy
Two of the fire walkers, Priest Puyia
Apihanuis and his wife, attempted to
walk with bare feet across a pit of white
hot stones, around which were shooting
red, snarling tongues of flames. When
they were half way across their Tahltlan
costumes, made from mats OF dried grass,
caught fire and had it not been for the
prompt action of some spectators, both
the fire walkers would have been burned
to death.
The woman was badly burned about the
head and hands and the hair was nearly
singed from her head. Puvia's clothing
was burned from his body and he sui
fered painful wounds. Strange to say
the feet of the two victims showed no
evidence of the walk.

MORE TROOPS IN HUNGARY
Emperor in Speech from Throne to Par
Lament Asks for More Defen-
sive Provisions.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, May 22.-The
Hungarian Parliament was formally
opened at the royal castle today by the
Emperor King, Francis Joseph, who i'll
the speech from the throne bid the dep
uties a hearty welcome and expressed
his keen thankfulness that the misunder-
standings had passed away. He said:
1t is painful to our paternal heart to look
back on the events Of the recent past which
disturbed the orderly course of constitution
al life. We are thankful to divine Proy1-
dence that, following the desire freely eX-
pressed, the disastrous MISUNDERSTANDING
have vanished, and it is ardently cher
ished wish that the constitutional cO-opera-
ton Of all the legislative factors may re-
main undisturbed in the future.
The speech declared that although
close relations exist with the country's
allies and in spite of the friendly ties
with other foreign powers, provision
must be made for the defensive power of
the country and therefore an extraordi-
nary contingent of recruits must be sup
piled. The speech also announced that
after the question of electoral reforms
has been settled new Parliament will
be summoned.

EIGHT HOUR DAY FAILS.
Carnegie Steel Company Man Says 1t
Decreases Production-Government
Would Lose Heavily Under It.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-A
c. Hayden. representing the Carnegie
Steel company, opposed the eight-hour
bill today before the House committee
on labor. He said its enactment would
drive every large institution now taking
government contracts from that field
would turn them over to the small con-
tractor and would increase the cost of the
same to the government from 1915 to
% per cent.
The Carnegie company, he said, once
changed from two shifts of men working
twelve hours each to three shifts work
ing eight hours. The result was that the
product decreased 20 per cent.
Another decided objection is that if a
laborer should by any chance work over
time. and the government inspector
should see him, the employer would be
subject to the penalty, although he might
be entirely innocent

Question.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 22.-Par-
lament will probably not meet again

May "a being a season day, another
great holiday. The interim will be oc-
cupied by examining credentials and
elections of members and in prepare
tons for the coming struggle over the
measure for the solution of the agrarian
question. The attention of the country
and of Parliament is now riveted on this
problem. AS evidence of its desire to
work i'll harmony with the lower house
the council of the empire, or upper
house, has decided not to press its own
views of the great questions awaiting
solution. but to await the initiative of
the lower house.
The Jewish league for the realization
of equal rights for their co-religionists
is in session here. The attitude of the
members in Parliament will be defined.
1t is also proposed to make arrange
ments for holding a congress of all the
Semitic organizations of Russia.

Tennvson's MANY Loves.

In discussing little oddities and pecu-
iiarities in connection with the works
of various writer's, and more especially
poets, an official of the Congressional
Library recently said:

long ago about a new edition of Tenny-
sons poems which he proposes to bring
out. He showed me a sample of the
type which he intended to have cast for
the edition. and l asked: Have you

Curious Magnetic Plant.

A plant which grows in certain parts
of India possesses curious magnetic.
power. The hand which breaks leaf
from it Immediately receives shock.
At distance of twenty feet magnetic
needle is affected by it. and will be
quite deranged if brought near The
energy of this singular influence varies
with the hours of the day. 1t is at its
strongest about 2 o'clock in the after
noon, but is absolutely annulled during
the night. At times of storms its inten-
sity increases greatly. Birds and insects
never alight on this plant; an instinct
seems to warn them that it is deadly.
