Macon, Ca, March 24.-The Boston

the regulars beating the "subs" to

Graham have been playing indoor base

public confidence and the misuse of
rights conferred in good faith to what
was believed to be a deserving corpo-
ration.
The Past and the Present
Consolidation has proven a good
thing for these three cities, so far as
it pertains to the street railways. When
the projectors of what is now the con-
solidated tri-city system came from
Chicago several years ago and bought
up the various lines, they gathered in
the mere fragments of antiquated
non-paying railways, none of them thriv-
ing because they could not keep pace
With the times. The syndicate thus
acquiring these lines had the means to
put them together and to infuse new
life into the system through the adOp
ton of modern methods. Rapid tran
sit superseded horse-cars and the steel
tram rail went down in place of the
concave strip of iron nailed to a wooden
under rail. Paving followed in the wake
of the rejuvenated street car system,
and from the date of the advent of
Chicago brains and means. Rock Is
land and her sister cities date their
forward march.
But things are changed today The
street car system has kept ahead of
the procession, and today, under the
encouragement it has received is fur
nishing a service in advance of the
cities with which it is identified. Lo-
cal capital has become interested
again, and followed the example of the
men who reorganized the system, hav-
ing seen for themselves what enter
prise and energy would do, and inspir
ed by local pride, they have been will
ling to go ahead, and dividends have
been allowed to pass that more of the
company's earnings might go into the
betterment of road bed and equipment
The company is making money now
and giving the public good service in
return. If it should be loaded with the
weight of other corporations less pop
ular and if the whole should be COB
bled up for speculative purposes, with
financial returns as the only consider
alton, the property will inevitably de
preciate and the public will suffer.
The consolidation spoken of would
be nothing less than a misfortune to
the three cities from any point of view.
even if it could be lawfully done-and
this is doubtful.

JAPANESE EvADE EXCLUSION
POUR INTO THE UNITED STATES
WITH HAWAII AS STEPPING
STONE.

Washington, Dec. 27.-There is to-
be a new and independent report on
the Japanese immigration question
and when it is completed the president,
will transmit it to congress with an
other message, making the third on
this subject.
Frank Sargent, the commissioner
general of immigration, was at the
White House and gave President
Roosevelt summary of his investiga-
ton of the Japanese tide of immigra-
ton into California through Hawaii.
AS he has but just arrived here and
has not even begun preparation of his
official report, the commissioner gen
eral was unwilling to give an outline
of his conclusions.
His report will have great bearing
upon the settlement of the Japanese
difficulty on the Pacific coast, however,
because all of this Oriental immigra-
tion now comes from the Hawaiian
islands, and if the flow from Japan to-
Honolulu can be stopped the fear of
Californians of an inundation of Jap
anese will disappear, violation of law
and order will cease and normal labor
conditions on the Pacific slope will be,
restored.

NINE KILLED IN
CRASH OF TRAINS
DISASTROUS WRECK OCCURS ON
THE 500 RAILROAD AT EN-
DERLlN, NJ. D.
THIRTY SEVEN ARE INJURED
KNoWN-coRoNER is INVEs-
TIGATING.

Enderlin, N. D., Dec. 25.-The worst
CURED early Sunday morning when
two trains on the 500 railroad crashed
together in the west end of the railway
yards in this city. Eight men were
killed outright, one died later from
his injuries and thirty-seven persons
and most of the injured persons were
in the smoking car, which was tele-
scoped by the baggage car. The smok-
ing car was crowded, and as the whis-
tie had just sounded for Enderlin,
most Of the passengers in the car
were standing when the crash came.
The dead and injured were piled in
heaps and the utmost confusion pre-
vailed. Only two passengers in the
smoking car escaped injury.
Citizens Work All Night.
The accident was SO near the station
that no time was lost in beginning the
work Of relief. Citizens worked all
night in removing the dead and in
iured from the wreckage. The little
hospital was quickly filled and the Ho-
tel Hilton was converted into an
emergency hospital, where the unfor-
Inmates were cared for. Physicians
were summoned from nearby towns to
assist in caring for the sufferers.
No explanation of the cause Of the
collision can now be given. The cor
oner is holding an inquest and all
parties in any way connected with the
accident are being rigidly examined.
The dead have all been identified
and their bodies are now awaiting the
disposition of friends and relatives.

need the stimulants that had been
prepared for him.
Dr. Stinchfield, with tears in his
eyes and his hands laid affectionately
on Hicks shoulders, said:

Showing much emotion, Hicks an
swered:

done.
