Wathching for Loiters.

Guthrie, Sept. 2O.-The wagon
bridge over the Cimarron river, about
three miles west of this city, was
swept away this morning by the high
water. The bridge was entirely
wrecked. This is the longest structure
spanning the Cimarron and it con-
nected large farming with Guthrie.
The Denver, Enid & Gulf railroad
bridge, near the wagon structure, is
n danger and is being guarded by a
gang of men 1t is hoped, however,
hat this bridge can be saved as the
river has fallen six feet today.
The wagon bridge carried out this
morning was the one from which the
company Of engineers and signal corps

watched for bodies last night from

were called back to camp today and

That Pawhuska is TO have her sec

will give her direct and much shorter
connection with Kansas City and all
northeastern markets, is practically
assured.
The preliminaries, of which there
are many in railroad building, are
practically all arranged for the con
struction of what is known rs the
Porter road form Cherryyale to the
Southwest. Mr.. Gillspie, one of the
leading fnancierS of the road, was a
guest of the Commercial Club here
last evening and to mass meeting
of the citizens he stated that the I'm
anciering of the road was assured, and
that the actual wark of Grading would
begin within thirty days Mr. Gillis-
~" is very favorably impressed with
the resources through which the new
road passes, and fully assured the
0eonle of Pawhuska that the promo
ters were in earnest and that the road
will be built at once. 1t is not detinl-
tely known Just where the road will
go from here but that il will enter

in similar labor controversy, and
its repair shops at Oelwein, Iowa,

working have expired. The machin-
lists and blacksmiths have served no.
tce on the officials of the road that

1t was said at the Chicago head
quarters of the Machinist 5 union that
the strike on the Great Western had
no direct connection with the Wabash
strike, except that it is a part of a
general move of the rail road mechan-
icsto secure better pay. Only fifty

strike order, but between 400 and 500
men may become involved later.

NELL MAKES A REPORT.
Says Contractors Realize II Is Going
To Be Enforced.

Oyster Bay, l., J., Sept. 2O,-Presi-
dent today extended the elght-hour
Law to apply to all public work under
the supervision of any department oi
the government. This matter effects
more particularly work on river and
harbor improvements,
Chas. =. Neill, commissioner of la
Dor, who, at the direction of the pres
ident, has had charge since last winter
OF the enforcement of the eight-hour
law, has sent to the president a re-
port, of which the following is the
concluding paragraph;
II might add here that found that
one very noticeable effect has already
been produced in this matter of the
eight-hour law. Contractors fully re-
alize now that the law is going to be
enforced with earnestness and they n
longer dismiss ii as matter of no
consequence. They probably like the
law less than ever, but their attitude
none the less is rapid" changing into
one of becoming respect for the stat
ute.
To carry out Commissioner Neill S
recommendations, the president has
today signed the following
order:
First All departments of the
government under the supervision of
of which nublic works are being con
structed are hereby directed to motif"
the representatives stationed atsuch
public works to report at once to then
respective departments all eases -
which contractaors or subconractoTS

required laborers or mechanics in
their employ to work over eight hour

HARD ON NEWSPAPERS.
The Railroads Can Accept Nothing
But Money.

Washington. Sent. 20.--In an opin-
ion made public the Interstate Com
merce Commission takes important
action in construiro the application
of the new railroad rate law, and pro
viding general rules applving to Joint
tariff rates on new lines and to
communication, milage and excursion
rates. The ruling is as follows;
Payment for transportation-No-
thing but money can be lawfully re-
ceived or accepted in payment for
transportation, subject to the act,
whether of passengers or property, or
for any service in connection there
with. il being the option of the com
mission that the prohibition against
charging or collecting a greater or less
or different compensation than the
established rates in effect at the time
precludes the acceptance Of service,
property or other payment in lieu of
the amount of money specified in the
published schedules.
"Ncticc of change in rates-Whelt
two or mare connecting carriers es-
tablish a joint rate whic his less or
greater than the sun of their local
rates, such joint rate is a change of
rates and requires notice of thirty
days. In such case the joint rate
when duly established and in force
becomes the only lawful rate for
through transportation.
"New roais-On new lines of road,
including branches and extensions of
av;sting roois. rut r"'es may be es-
tablished in the first instance, and al
so joint rates to and from points on
such new line without notice, on post
ing a tariff of such rates and I'll
the same with the commission.
Ground trip excursion rltes-lt is
the option of the Commission that the
provisinos of the amended sixth see
tion in respect to the publishing. fill
