DISAPPOINTED LITIGANT SHOOTS
AT JUDGE CUTTING IN CHI
cAGo COURT HOUSE
FAILS IN HIS PLANS
Judge Moves as Trigger is Pulled and
Bullet Goes Through Clothing With.
out Touching His Body-Assaiant is
Taken Into Custody.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-A desperate ef-
fort was made today to assassinate
Judge Charles G. Cutting Of the pro-
bate court by Frank F. Ellerbrock.
The would-be assassin is believed to he
insane. Judge Cutting escaped injury
by hairs breadth and overpowered
his assailant after fierce fight.
AS the judge entered the criminal
court building Ellerbrock, who was
standing in the hallway, stepped for
ward and when but two feet distant
drew a revolver and fired point blank
at Judge Cutting. The Judge instantly
turned and struck his assailant
heavy blow in the face, almost knock
ing him down. Then followed a Sc
we're struggle between the men, which
terminated when two deputy sheriffs
came to the assistance of the Judge
and Ellerbrock was disarmed and TAX
en- into custody.
Ellerbrock frequently has been
about the nrobate court and for some
time labored under the hallucination
that he had been deprived of his
rights to share in the estate of his
sister and has repeatedly appealed TO
Judge Cutting to reopen the case The
police declare Ellerbrock is insane.
The assault upon Judge Cutting was
called to the attention of the grand
jury and an Indictment was promptly
returned, charging Ellerbrock with an
assault with intent to kill.

ACTS ON COLORADO RIVER STU.
ALTON AT WORD FROM THE u
PRESIDENT
ANSWER NOT DELAYED
Roosevelt Moves Upon Appeals From
Governor Pardee and the Los An,
seles Chamber of commerce-Atten-I
tioa TO the salton Sea. :

Washington. d. c., Dec. 21.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt brought favorble re-.
sponse from e. III. Hartman in double
quick order when he telegraphed the
railroad magnate that the Colorado
river situation was in need of urgent
and prompt relief by him.
The President, aroused by appeals,
from Governor Pardee of California,
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com,
merce and others that the runaway
river was menacing lives and property {
IN southern California, particularly In
the Imperial valley, telegraphed Mr.. I
Hartman that 1t was incumbent" on
him to Close the break in the rivers
banks without an hours delay"
Hartman Answers at Once.
These strong words, couched in the
Presldents usual vigorous style,
brought an immediate reply from Mr..
Hartman. who declared that the
Southern Pacific railroad was not re.l
sponsible for the Salton sen but that
he mad ordered the company to take
such means as were In its power to
close the break, relying on congress-
action later to stand Its share Of the
expense.
Despite Mr.. Harriman's assertion
that he nor the Southern Pacific. but
the California Improvement company
was responsible for the break in the
dam, the President in memorandum
given later to Charles D. Walcott. d.
rector of the geological survey, said
that the immediate work must be done
by MI Harriman's company" He ask
ed Mr.. Walcott to find out Just who
was responsible for the break and to
just what extent this company can be-,
! held for the existing conditions.
Situation Demands Action.
President Roosevelt's decision In the
matter followed conference at the
White House In which the President.
Senator Flint of California, Charles b.
Walcott, the director Of the geological
survey. and Frederick N. Newell. the
chief engineer in charge Of the recla-
nation service, participated.
1t has been repeatedly asserted that
unless the break in the river is prompt
ly repaired the losses In the Imperial
valley, already enormous, would at a
conservative estimate reach total
loss Of s13,O00,00O.
The President felt that longer delay,
was not justified in the case.

PRESIDENT sTIckNEY OF GREAT
WESTERN DISCUSSES CAR
SHORTAGE
TOO LONG AT LOADING
Use Cars For Storage Purposes-Possi-
bility Of Doubling Effectiveness Of
Freight Equipment by Promptness
Of the Shippers.

Chicago Dec. 21.-Interstate Com
mtssioners Harlan and Lane conclud-
ed the inquiry in this city into the
causes of the car shortage today and
left for Washington No additional
facts were obtained today.
Washington, Dec 21.-Blame for the
present car famine was laid at the
door Of the shippers of the country by
President A. B. Stickney of the Chi
cago Great Western Railway company,
who gives figures showing that the
average length Of time occupied by
shippers In unloading cars is nine days
for each car.
Mr.. Stickney declares that if some
means could be devised to force ship
pers to unload freight cars within
four and one-half days the effective
ness of the freight equipment Of the
railroad companies of the country
would be instantaneously doubled and
such thing as car shortage would
be unknown.
Gives Figures to Commission.
Mr. Stickney presented a consider
able number of facts and figures to
the interstate commerce commission,
which is dealing with the car shortage
question. They contain interesting
information.
Mr.. Stickney declares that statistics
show that the average distance each
loaded freight car travels is ESQ
miles.
The average time consumed by the
railways in hauling each car is one
day-twenty-fo hours.
But the average time occupied by
the shipper in unloading the car is
nine days-216 hours.
Can Double Car Duty.
Mr.. Stickney makes the following
comment:
If the law or any other power can
compel shippers to load and unload
each average car In four and one-half
days it would be equivalent to instan-
taneously doubling the effectiveness
of the freight equipment of the rail-
ways-in effect adding to such equip
ment !, 200, 600 cars without cost to the
railways and without increasing their
capitalization the enormous sum of
$3.50, 100000, which at 4 per cent
would add to their annual charges
$54,400,000 to be collected from the
people in additional rates.
Blame Lies With Shippers.
.AThe movement of freight cars from
point to point, which is the function
Of the railway, and the loading and unv
loading, which is the duty from the
shippers, are inseperable and each
must wait upon the other. AS long as
the shippers consume nine days in
loading and unloading each car, trans
portation will be delayed.
If delays in transportation can be
prevented by legislation such legisla-
ton must compel the loading and un-
loading within a reasonable time.'

PACKERS UPHOLD ROOSEVELT.
Will Enforce New Laws, But Fight In
Justice, Says George L. Mccarthy.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-"The American
Meat Packers association will COOP
crate with President Roosevelt in en-
forcing the new packing house laws
and will protect the packers from any
injustice the new law may seem to
place upon them asserted George l..
Mccarthy, secretary of the association
at the Grand Pacific hotel yesterday;
"Our association" he said, agrees
with the President in advising ample
time in which to have the new law en-
forced in its entirety. 1t does not
seem exactly right that the packers
should bear all expense but they feel
assured the government will act
equitably in the matter. Great
changes have been worked by the new
law, changes that will be beneficial to
health and prosperity of the country
We find that foreign consumers have
regained confidence in the American
product and in many instances have
increased their demands for them"

HICKS TO Be OUT
in A FEW HOURS
ENToMBED MINER is EXPECTED
TO BE AT LIBERTY BEFORE
ANOTHER DAY
Nerve is Still Unbroken and He Spends
Night in sIeep-Mining Experts
Make Offerings of Assistance From
Distant Points.

Bakersfield, Cal, Dec. 21.-Little
progress was made last night in rescu-
ing the miner Hicks. He may be
reached some time today. His nerve
is still unbroken and the failure of his
rescuers to reach him yesterday as ex-
pected, did not dispel his cheerful
ness
The great boulder that ba1ked the
rescuing force was split last night and
carried from the drift, and the en-
gineers gave every assurance that
Hicks would be reached soon. The
rescuers are digging in dirt and pro-
crossing rapidly.
The news was sent down to Hicks
through the pipe by DR.. w. H. Stinch-
field and the news made him cry with
JOY.
Talks cheerfulIy Through Pipe.
The entombed man partook Of more
milk than since he was discovered and
carried on continual conversation
with those at the end of the pipe. His
greatest craving was for chewing to-
bacco. When Hicks was given his
last quart of milk at Z o'clock last
night he was assured that he would
greet his companions in few hours.
Advice Sent Rescuers From Afar.
R. L. Ashbrook, a physician, sent a
communication from Washington, Pa,
offering some valuable suggestions by
which Hicks may be kept alive for an
indefinite period. DR.. Ashbrook has
had experience at previous coal mine
disasters in Pennsylvania. Third Vice
president Fl. H. Sinclair is on the
ground and has full charge Of the sit
uation.
Among those who offered sugges-
tions was c. C. Bowles of Los An
geles, who sent long dispatch to the
rescue corps offering advice from a
technical mining point of view.
