Complicated Dispute Over
Payment of Quaran-
tine Fees.

The War Department and the officials
OF the State OF Virginia have become
entangled in a pretty dispute. The State
has "dunned" the United States Gov
ernment 70 pay the fees charged for
the State quarantine inspection OF army
transports. and the War Department
has declined payment.
According 10 the Virginia view. all
Federal vessels must observe the re-
quirements OF State laws in respect 10
quarantine. The War Department has
taken the position that while its vessels
must submit To inspection, the United
States cannot pay the quarantine fees.
as they are State duties which cannot
be levied upon instrumentaliues OF the
Federal Government.

no such drastic action would be taken
by the police unless it were shown to

Local No. 1855 is still doing business
at the same old place, and is at pres
ent in better and healthier condition
than at any time in the past. 1t is true
we have lost some of our members
since April 1 but it is also true that
Local 1855 is better off without men
who can command the scale only until
the boss knows them, or men who are
not union men at heart. But while we
have lost such members we have
gained a large number of mechanics
men who can command the scale and
hold position and give good account
of themselves. We have gained in
strength and are steadily on the on
ward march; happy, peacable and con-
tented, as men should be.
There was only one application pre-
scented and one member initiated Tues
day evening.

Chairman Of Commerce Commission
Directs Letter to Railroads.

SudITuIdH OF commerce commission
Directs Letter to Railroads.
Chairman Martin Knapp of the inter-
state commerce commission, on behalf
of the commission has dictated to all
railroad companies and corporations of
the United States letter calling their
attention to section of the recently
enacted railroad freight law. The Sec
ton provides that every common car
rier subject to the provisions of the act
shall file with the commission and
keep open to the public for inspection
schedules showing all the rates, fares
and charges for transportation be-
tween points on the route of any other
carrier by railroad, pipe line or by wa
ter when a through route and joint
rate have been established"
Chairman Knapp said, in his letter,
that cit is manifest that existing SEIZED
uleS must be changed or amended to
bring them into full compliance with
the provisions of the law above set
FORTH After quoting what changes
should be made, the letter concludes:
THE commission is of the opinion
that this duty should rest primarily
with the carriers themselves, in view
of their liability to forfeitures and
penalties in cases of failure to comply
with the mandatory requirements of
the sixth section. The commission
will, however, cordially cooperate with
representatives of the carriers and will
freely discuss with them all pertinent
questions which in this connection
may arise, reserving always it's right
to make at such times as appear neces.
sary any general or special order or
orders within the scope of it's author
ity,"

HUSBAND USES SHOTGUN.
MortaIIy Wounds Man Who invaded
Sanctity of His Home.

Sanctity OF His Home.
At Hastings, Neb.; at a quarter past
midnight July 20, Barney Pierson, q
horse trader shot W. R. McCulla, as
the latter was standing at the tele-
phone in Persons home. Pierson
fired from the outside and through
window. McCulla dropped to the floor
for an instant, but before Mrs. Pierson,
who was standing by the side of Nc
Culla with her arm resting on the side
board, could recover her presence of
mind, the wounded man had regained
his feet and hurried out of the front
door.
Not thinking that he was so serious
ly wounded and wishing to reach his
home on West Seventh street, about
fifteen blocks distant, without being
detected, McCulla started hurriedly
west on Fifth street, leaving pools of
blood that streamed down his pants
leg in his footprints on the sidewalk
Reaching the residence of M. A.
Hartigan, two blocks to the west, he
sank from exhaustion on the front
porch and called for assistance. Mr..
Hartigan notified DR.. Artz by tele-
phone and quickly as possible the
wounded man was taken to the doc
tors office.
An immediate operation was found
necessary and DR.. Artz with the as
sistance of DR.. Schaufelberger, re-
moved fifty-four shot from the abdo-
men of McCulla, and all that was pos
sible was done to give him temporary
relief. The physicians have no hope,
however, of saving his life and say
that he has only one chance in a hun
dred of recovery.
Pierson was supposed to be out of
town, and thinking the coast was clear
McCulla, who was the cause of sepa-
ration in the Pierson home few
months ago, felt safe in making visit
to the place. The ruse worked to per-
lection and Pierson, who had quietly
returned to the city, found material
evidence of the fact he had not been
mistaken in his suspicious
Just before going to his home, Pier
son went to the home of his pastor and
had him go along in order to show
him evidence of his domestic trouble.
Pierson is in custody, but will make
no statement in regard to the tragedy.
