storms of the season occurred about

peal Of thunder awoke nearly every

scattered FIRE all over the room. It
played hide and-seek all over the
building which looked like a mass
of FIRE, All the main fuses in the
plant were burned out and trouble
is anticipated on the liues when

MISS RELL, SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS, PREDICTS THAT PU-
Pills WILL BECOME SELF-SUP.
PORTING.

Washington, December 23.-The annual
report of Miss Estelle Reel, superintend-
ent of Indian schools. made public to-
day, indicates that manual training is be-
coming a feature of education among the
Indians, and with entirely satisfactory
results. The superintendent has visited
practically all of the Indian schools dur
ing the year, and reports that more
teachers are recognizing the special char
acteristics of the Indian, and conse-
quently better methods of teaching pre-
vail.
The teaching of cooking and home laun-
dry work now occupies permanent place
in the regular course. School gardens
have increased in number and extent.
The beneficial results of educational
work among the Indians Is illustrated by
the larger number of pupils who havo
found employment in various occupa-
tions requiring manual skill. and the pre-
diction is made In the report that great
er number of Indians will become self
supporting each year as the result OF
manual training methods.

Counsel of Road Talks.

New York December BE. H. Harri-
man, president of the Southern Pacific
railway, who was slightly i'll today, would
not make a statement on the strike Of
the company's lines.
Robert S. Lovett, counsel and director
of the company, however. described con-
dtions as they appear to the COM
pany.
"The strike" he said, will only af-
feet the lines in Texas and Louisiana
between New Orleans and FL Paso, and
the through transcontnental traffic will
not be hampered in any way. I do not
think that any portion of the system will
be tied up altogether. The engineers are
not going out, and no doubt it will be
possible to operate in some way or other.
THE situation is a most peculiar one.
the company has absolutely no dispute
with the men, They are, so far as we
know entirely satisfied with hours,
wages and conditions of employment
There has not been any dispute about the
discharge of a single man, and we are
not at present negotiating with the fire.
men upon any point whatever.
1.-THE trouble has arisen through dis
pute between the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Firemen and the Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers. Both of them claim
Jurisdiction over the switch engineers. To
the management of the company it does
not matter with which organization 1t
makes it's arrangements, but 1t does want
to be able to make them with one or
the other"

Widespread Freight Changes.

New Orleans, December Exchanges
in freight routings caused by the South
ern Pacific strike, and affecting terri
tory extending from st. Louis to New
York city, covered by four of the big
carriers entering New Orleans were an
nounced today. Hereafter such freight
consigned to points in Louisiana and Tex
as will be routed via Cairo, ILL.,, East st.
Louis, Memphis. Tenn, and Shreveport,
La, in place of passing through New
Orleans, as 1t ordinarily does. The rail-
roads announcing this change are the
Queen and Crescent system, the Illinois
Central, Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
and the Louisville and Nashville rail-
roads.
The strike appears likely to make seri-
Gus diffiulty in the interchange of any
freight in New Orleans between several
of the carriers. Up to the present time
through freight transferred here from the
Illinois Central lines to either the Louis
vile and Nashville or the Queen and
Crescent has been switched over South
ern Pacific tracks. How this difficulty
will be avoided has not yet been an
nounced The Louisville and Nashville
and Queen and Crescent interchange
freight here without using the Southern
Pacific tracks.

section of the city Policeman Pete Bar
demaker is dying. and Homer Still is in
critical condition. The other four were
not seriously hurt
Posses organized after the shooting are
still hunting Wilson, but seem to have
lost the trail. 1t is understood Wilson re-
newed his supply OF ammunition, and If
surrounded he is expected to fight to the
death.
No explanation for Wilson's actions
have been advanced. but It is assumed
he was either crazy or of a ferocious
temper Last evening he appeared in a
dry goods store, and although apparent
ly sober, began cursing the proprietor.
Homer Still. a clerk assisted his en-
ployer in an attempt to eject Wilson,
whereupon the intruder drove a knife
through the clerks lung. Wilson ran
home and secured an automatic shotgun
with supply of cartridges.
Returning to the public square he de-
fed arrest and when Bardemaker ap-
preached, shot him, inflicting a fatal
wound. A man in the crowd which began
pursuing him emptied a revolver at VIII
son, but missed him. Wilson then began
firing at everyone in sight. and also into
several houses. w. S. Waunby, n special
agent of the department of commerce and
labor. put his head out of a window and
received several small shot in the face
Hubert Cherry was shot In both legs and
two other men received slight wounds
Except Bardemaker and Still, none Of the
wounded was seriously hurt
