HAS $4,000 POSITION
Former Freight Clerk Soon to
Assume Management of a
Great String of Railways
and SmeIterS.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-Freight
Traffic Manager William Sproule, of
the Southern Pacific company has
been offered and has accepted what
is probably the highest industrial
traffic position In the country. Octo-
ber l. next he assumes the traffic
management of the American Smelt-
ing Refinery, the American Smelling
Securities company, the Shelters
Steamship company and a score of
smaller corporations. incdluding rail-
roads in Nevada and Alaska and
smelters and mines in both hemis-
pheres of the western continent. on
the Pacific coast alone these compan-
les own smelters at Tacoma, Everitt,
San Francisco and Selby. Their
properties in Utah, Colorado, Nevada,
Mexico and South America are i'm
mense. Their holdings in South
America are valued at a hundred mil
lion dollars or more. Mr.. Sproule en-
tered the service of the Southern Pa
cific as a clerk in the freight depart
ment in 1882, and leaves it in the
highest traffic position in the west af-
ter twenty-four years of continuous
service.
The position offered Mr.. Sproule
gives him jurisdiction over the rela-
tions with carriers of probably the
largest volume OF traffic controlled by
one organization. and makes him traf-
fic master of several railroads and
steamship lines owned bv the smelter
companies. 1t is said that the offer
made Mr.. Sproule is most fattering,
and although little information on

1t is believed it carries with 1t sal
airy of $4,000 year. His headquar-
ters will be at II Broadway, New
York.

No DISORDER IS
ANTICIPATED
IN FRANCE
P0PE'S ENCYCLICAL ON
SEPARATION Is VAGUE
PapaI Manifesto Leaves the
Bishops and ArChbiShopS Up
in the TopmoSt Limbs Of a
Tall Tree.

Paris, Aug. 15.-The pope's encycli-
cal letter to the French archbishops
and bishops regarding the separation
law continues to be the topic here 0f
absorbing interest. The absence of all
high personages, official or parliament
tary, defers an exact determination Of
the governments course. Nothing
similar to the inventory riots has oc-
Cured or Is expected to occur either
In Paris or the provinces, although the
actual application of the law in De-
cember probably will accentuate the
situation.
M. BRAND, minister of public wor-
ship, is absent from Paris, but the
Temps today gathered the views Of
several high officials who point out
that the encylical is merely negative
In form, condemning the cultural as
sociations provided by the law, but
giving no real instructions relative ID
the bishops future course.
The pope's intention is regarded IN
government circles as leaving the
bishops free to act In the way which
to them seems best, without exciting
violent conflict between the civil and
religious powers The pope, they
contend, by his repeated references 10
the rejection of the associations pro-
vlded for by the law, entertained the
afterthought that the government
might possibly by means of negotia-
tions be induced to assent to the for
nation of an association which while
| carrying out the spirit Of the law,
would recognize the divine oonstitu-
tlon of the church, the Interchangeable
rights of the pontiff and the hier-
archy's complete control of sacred edi-
| fees.
However. this hypothesis, II true.
has not, according to the Unofficial
view, any great chance of realization,
such a project not being considered
acceptable by the government, which
regards the law as 1t exists as incapa-
BILE of modification.

FWE-CENT RECEIPTS
GIVEN TO PASSENGERS
Believed That Traffic Over the
Brooklyn Trolley Roads viii
Be Normal Again in a
Few Days,

New York, Aug. 15.-The troubles
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany with those of its patrons who
since Sunday have acted under an
opinion of Supreme Court Justice
Gaynor and refused TO pay two flve-
cent fares to Coney Island, seem to-
night to be nearing an amicable ad-
justment, and 1t is expected by to-
morrow or Friday the traffic over the
Brooklyn trolley roads will be running
under something like normal condi-
tions.
The company this afternoon adopt
ed plan suggested by Acting Mayor
MCGOWAN to give a rebate slip to ev-
cry person paying a ten-cent fare, five
cents to be returned to the holder If
the court of appeals upholds the deci-
sion of Justice Gaynor that five cents
is the legal fare to Coney Island. If
the court should decide that the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company is
acting within its rights in charging
double fare, however the receipt Is
to be null and void. The form of the
receipt was approved tonight, and
hundreds of printers set to work pre-
pairing the slips for tomorrow's traffic.

the receipts in good faith and trust TO
an adjustment of the matter in the
courts.

fore him that riot and grave disorder

exception of few districts is under

With reference to racial conflicts IN

this can hardly be attributed to Pam
