PORTABLE PHONES
o. S. l.. EQUIPPED WITH
SAFETY APPARATUS.
Telephone Wires Are In Place the Full
Length of the System AMI Each Ca
boosc Is Equipped With Telephone
Fixturcs-Statlons Can BE Called
Up From Any Point Along the Line.

An innovation that promises much
for the future In the way of reducing
accidents on the railroad to a mini
mum. is being installed on the trains
of the Oregon Short Line, together
with many other lines of railroad the
country over. 1t Is a portable tele-
phone apparatus, by means of which
the crew of any train thus equipped
will be able to talk with headquar-
ters or with any station with little
more bother than Is attendant upon
calling up your neighbor in the next
block for a morning chat.
It is understood to be the intention
TO equip all passenger and freight
trains with the apparatus, though It
is being installed on the freights at
the present time. they being more
likely to be stopped on a steep grade
or ct other points between stations
than the passenger trains.
The apparatus for the portable tel
ephone system is quite simple. A
copper telephone wire is strung on the
telegraph poles at the side OF the rail-
way track. and a telephone instru-
ment with transmitter and receiver
complete, is installed in the caboose
OF every freight train.
The connection, IL necessity arises
IL made by means of a telescope
apparatus, being extended something
like q fish pole, that is hung In the
caboose. a hook on the end of thi:
is hung over the copper telephone
wire at the side of the track. and
the conductor is ready to "call up" any
station on the division that his fame,
impels him to.
II an accident were 20 occur, It Il
pointed out. by which caboose wer,
to be demolished, there would still b,
a telephone In working order in tn,
cahoosc OF the other train. In cas'
Of head-on collision. both telephones
would he In working order. II u
hardly conceivable that any acciden
would occur In which the rear end
of both trains involved would be de
molished so as to prevent the use o
either phone.
1t remains to be seen Just how prac
tical the new contrivance may prov
10 be. but II would seem that II shoul,
save much time In getting the wreck
ing train to the scene of the wrecks
and the consequent clearing of tn
tracks. as well as preventing man
accidents which now take place 4
spite OF the utmost vigilance of tn
railway employees.

OF the remaining Allison amendment,
relating TO The jurisdiction or the Fed

The first of these provided that
in cases where two or more carriers
were affected the venue OF courts
should be In the district where either

an amendment a provision in the Ian
guage OF the Long amendment admit
ting Injunction proceedings to cases
I'm which the carrier alleges a viola
tion OF the fifth amendment TO the con-
stitution or sets up that the commits
sion has exceeded its Jurisdiction.

while he contended that the Allison
provision opened up the entire case
In the courts.

OvERTURN Of THE
FISCAL SYSTEM
WILL Be COMPLETE

Washington, May 12.-The state depart
ment has called upon Minister Rockhill
at Pekin for information as 10 the prob
able effect upon China's international re-
lations of the decree Just issued which in
effect. places two Chinese officials In con-
troll OF the Chinese customs service rele-
eating Sir Robert Hart and all OF his for
eign subordanates tn inferior places or dis
missing them outright.
Mr.. Rockhfll has replied that the opinion
among the diplomatic body at Pekn Is
that the execution OF this decree would
mean the complete overturntng OF the en-
tire Chinese fiscal system.
The department. is trying TO ascertain
tho probable effect upon American in
terests of the proposed change Aside
from some Hankow railroad securities
there are few Individual American invest
ments in China OF which the state de-
parument Is now aware that might be
affected by change In the Chinese Gus
toms collection system.
But the Chinese government itself fs in
debted TO this government az o trustee
through the Boxer uprising in the sum OF
between SIS, 600 and $40 900 600 and IL II
appears that the future payments OF the
awards under this score will be leopard
iDed by the depoe ton In effect of Sir
Robert Hart and his foreign customs col
lectors. proably tho necessary ground will
be round for action by the state depart-
meM under parallel lines with other
powers In making representations in
China
