Plans for Quick Delivery,

1t was explained that freight out of
Washington will be sent from the station
in South Washington Immediately after 6
o'clock each day, billed to the freight yard
office. There it will be rebilled to the line
over which it is to be delivered and dis
patched on its way before 10 O'clock It
was explained that Washington freight will
be delivered at points within a hundred
miles OF Washington within twenty-four
hours from the time it is loaded in South
Washington.
1t was further said that freight from
points to the north must go through the
same process of rebiIling as that sent out
of Washington. 1t is claimed that Wash
ington will thus have several hours adj
vantage over its northern rivals. Even in
broken-lot cars, it is said, the Washington
consignment will have the same advantages
as those accorded to the same class of
freight from more distant points.
The committee said to the board that ap-
parently the transportation companies have
now conceded all that the associat ton had
contended for in the way of better freight

of the camp, sustained a seven-inch cash

The fight commenced in the hospital

a razor. The attack on Prince was the
signal for a general fight, and when Ser

beaten with clubs. iron bars and other
weapons.
Captain Buckley attempted to quel the
disturbance and was attacked by Cooper
who attempted TO cut his throat and was
only prevented by Hezekiah Pluney, an
other convict, knocking the weapon down.
Pluney then grappled with Cooper and dis
armed him.

SACRED CARAVAN STARTS
In Few Years MOslema VIII
Travel to Mecca by
Rail.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 15.-(Special.)-
The sacred caravan which left by special
steamer for Beirut enroute for the Holy
cities OF Islam, by way OF Damascus, con-
veyed to the shereef of Mecca and other
notabies gifts Of especial value this year as
the sultan wished In this manner to tes-
tify his gratitude for his recovery from
his sickness in the summer.
The monetary consideration to the
Bedouin sheiks all along the line of the
route have been increased and in some in
stances doubled for this very cause. The
annual cost of the sacred caravan as en-
tered on the budget OF the empire is $50. coo.
All the Bedouin chiefs do not receive
presents in cash. Some OF the most i'm
portant are presented with swords or man
ties of honor, while the petty chiefs are
gratified with ordinary articles of Arab
dress. Ane sheik was contented with the
gift of one boot one year and with the
promise Of its fellow the succeeding year.
What he cared for most OF all was the
fact that II was a present from his sultan.
This year the pilgrimage viii be able TO
cover one-third of its journey to Mecca by
rail, and the Hodjsz line han been com
pleted as far as Tobuk.
At the rate of advance which has been
maintained for the last five years the rail-
way should reach Medina by 1910, and
Mecca three years later.

SMIT WANTS NEW TRIAL
Grandson of Late "OOm Paul" Kruger
Would Escape Sentence for
Murder.

PRETORIA, Dec. 15-(special )-Ehorts
are being made to secure a new trial for
Stephanus Paul Kruger Smit, grandson of
the late President Kruger. who has been
found guilty of numbering Hermann Davis.
The claim is that he is insane and is to
be imprisoned during the governors pleas
ure, but Smit has succeeded In impresslug
some of his friends that he Is sane but
innocent of any real intent to be drawn
into any murder. smlt had been in negotia-
tions with Davis, who claimed to know Of
buried treasure worth $4,000, and together
they drove off together from Pretoria to
Desport to take possession of the gold.
It is now claimed that the murder was
committed by strangers, but Smit, know
Ing how deeply he was involved in the
frauds. became afraid to tell fearing
punishment by reason of the frauds alone.
There were many mysterious things con-
nected with the case and many incidents
which have not been cleared up. The fact
is not denied that the cart used by Smit
on the night of the travel in search Of the
gold was found spattered with blood stains.
The veldt was secured when Davis failed
TO show up. and his body was discovered
In a lonely spot six miles from Pretoria
with four bullet wounds In the head and
thS neck. and yet in spite of all OF these
damaging facts there are many circum-
stances which tend to make It appear as
though Smit could not possibly have com
mitted the murder.

CREDITORS AFTER NINE. GOULD
French Money Leaders Assert She
Was ne Extravaghnt as Her
Husband.


PARIS Dec 15--(SpeCial) OF
Count Boni de Castellsne, realizing that
the divorce has left him practically pen
niless are making a tremendous onslaught
upon the late countess and are disposed to
hold her responsible for the debts. They
are bothering her in all of the little ways
which the law permits under those circum-
stances. In one of the recent suits brought
by the creditors Maitre Millerand pointed
out that the countess benefited as well as
her husband by the lavish magnihcence OF
the Castellane household, of which he drew
up an amusing picture. All Paris knew
the powdered lackeys who used TO line the
great staircase on days OF receptions and
the gold laced porters who stood as sem
tlnels before their mansion in the Avenue
Malakoff. The gilt coach in which the
couple in the days Of their splendor drove
from the railway station 70 their chateau
is still the talk OF peasants in the sur
rounding country. The ceiling Of the bed
room In which the countess still sleeps he
pointed out cost $4,000, and It's furnishing
SsO0O00 Hence, Matre Millerand con-
cluded she was just as extravagant as
her husband and ought to be held Jointly
responsible with him in the eyes OF the
law.
Maitre Jacobson. pleading for the Zeigler
creditors, declared that when the count
was driven to despair by his creditors, Il
was NJ. Zeigler who came to the rescue
again and again and paid the debts OF the
couple and the countess could not now be
absolved from all responsibility.
