DEATH LIST
is INCREASING
Twenty Bodies Recovered al
Quebec and 65 Counted
Missing

QUEBEC, Aug. 30.-With the first of
dawn half dozen government boats
and the Quebec bridge companys tugs
began to search the st. Lawrence riv-
er for the victims of last nights catas-
trophe. The total death roll caused
by the collapse of the cantilever bridge
numbers at least rs and may reach IS.
AT an early hour today about 20
bodies had been recovered. The ter
rife height of the steel $50 feet above
the surface of the river caused many
bodies of the workers to be crushed
in a frightful manner when they fell
and it is feared that many will never
be found,
Many were Americans brought here
by the Phoenix Bridge Co. of Phoenix
Vile, Pa, which had the contract for
the iron work of the bridge.
Both the local and the Dominion
authorities have taken steps to inves-
tigate the cause of the disaster and
to fix the responsibility. Several work.
men express the belief that the pier
gave way under the tremendous strain
of the overhanging steel work. An
examination of the piers shows then
to be in good condition. although the
steel structure had fallen on them.

RATE REGULATION
ONE YEAR old

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Rate reg
ulation under the present interstate
commerce law was one year old last
Wednesday, and some interesting
facts are to be told on its first ami
versary.
During the year there have been
filed with the interstate commerce
commission 353 formal complaints.
The great majority of these allege un-
just rates. The remainder sought to
do away with switching charges and
alleged determinations. Ninety-on
actual decisions have been rendered
on complaints during the year. In
Al cases the charges have been sus-
tanned. Forty-two have been dis
missed and two set for rehearlng
Most of the cases had to do with
rates between certain points, or with
charges on certain shipments or classi-
fication of freight. In most of the
cases where the complaints were not
dismissed Just as reasonable maxi
mum rates. were established. 1t would
be impossible to give figures on the
actual far-reaching effect of the maxi
NUNS thus fixed.

HILL ROADS
BIG LOSERS

NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-The stocks
Of the Hill lines show a depreciation
in market value during the past year
of more than $50O0OO,O00. There has
been no more spectacular development
in the quotations of leading railroad
issues than the decline in Hill stocks.
The causes of the decline are to be
found in speculative and financial rea-
sons, rather than in any questions of
railroad management. Mile for mile,
and share for share, the three Hill
properties are worth at least as much
as they ever were.
In the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern alone the decline has been
nearly $460, 900, 900, as follows:
Northern Pacific, 1,555,OOO

GOVERNORS WILL
DEBATE TRUSTS
National Civic Federation
Invites Then to Discuss
Corporations

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 30.-A score of
governors have accepted invitations to
take part in the national conference
on corporations and trusts to be held
in this city next month under the aus
pices of the National Civic Federation.
Among the number are Governors
Cummins of Iowa, Folk of Missouri,
Hughes of New York. Cutler of Utah,
Warner of Michigan and Davidson of
Wisconsin.
The conference will consider the
trust and combination problem, espe-
c ally the state and federal regulation
of the corporations and also the Quea-
tion of what amendment, If any,
should be made to the Sherman anti
trust act. The conference is intend
ed to give an opportunity for a free
and full discussion by representative
men from all the walks of life and of
every shade of opinion.
The subjects that are to be discuss
ed are divided into three classes, the
first of which deals with the govern
mental power over corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, the d.
vision of power under the constitution
between the nation and the state and
the power concurrent in nation and
state.
The second class deals with the
question of how should the corpora
ton be constructed? Should there be
national as we'll as state corporations
The basis of capitalization of corpora
tions, the internal control of corpora
ttons, provisions looking to the protec.
tion of investors and the stockholders
as well as fair dealing with the pub
lie. and the distinction between public
service and other corporations.
! The third division is to considei
just and practicable limits of restric.
tion and regulation, federal and state
| of combinations in transportation
production. distribution and, labor. Ir
other words, the conference will take
up the vary latest phases of the trust
question, and from all indications the
meeting will be the most important OF
it's kind ever held in this country.

BIC SALES OF
WHEAT CROP
PendletOn Reports Transfer
OF Two Million Bu. By
UmatilIa Farmers

PENDLETON, Ore, Aug. 30-Wifh
a rush that was unprecedented in this
county the wheat market opened up
Saturday and it is now estimated that
close to 100000 bushels of this years
yield have been sold. OF that amount
million bushels or more changed
hands between Friday afternoon and
Saturday evening. the prevailing prics
being 70 cents.
Until the latter part of last week ths
local wheat market had been dead,
though some selling had occurred from
time to time. During the week %
cents was quoted for club, and it was
evident that the grain companies did
not want wheat then. Just what
brought on the advance in the QUOTA
ton is best known to the brokers
themselves. Local buyers say some
that their houses needed grain with
which TO load them At any rate the
price advanced with a jump, and
scores of farmers were found ready to
SELL That the entire crop Of tie
county was not sold Saturday was
seemingly due to the fact that such
was a physical impOssibility.
While it is difficult to ascertain the
exact extent of the selling Saturday,
the buyers all assert that it was the
largest days business ever transacted
here and that the total sales were
close to 100000 bushels. Seemingly
the grain was well divided among the
various buyers, for all declare they
got their share. The mills both here
and at Athena were also heavy buyers
and the selling was not confined to any
particular section of the country.

CHANGES FOR
ARMY UNIFORMS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 80. =
Changes in uniform for the enlisted
men of the army, with a view to max
ing it more practical for everyday
service purposes, are receiving atten-
tion at the war department just now.
Various recommendations have been
received on the subject, one of which
has come from Col. L. NJ. Maus, whose
observations are based on his expert
ence with the militia in the field. He
believes that the present regulation
felt hat is unsuited for campaign pur-
poses in hot or tropical climate, and
that the infantry marching trousers
should be made full around the knee
and the cuff extended down the leg
far enough to be enclosed by the
marching shoe, thus doing away with
the Logging.

current visit of both Colonel Tucker
and Mrs. Platt has quite naturally
aroused a good deal of interest here.

here July TO- but her arrival was not
announced. Colonel Tucker arrived
August IS, and since then he and Mrs
gether.
Mrs. Dolly Logan Tucker has pre-
ferred charges against her husband
with the war department, and these
charges are now being investigated
by Secretary Taft. The matrimonial
troubles of Colonel Tucker and his
wife have occupied much space in the
newspapers during the last few weeks,

pad to back her charges with cor
rohOrative evidence.
Since her arrival here Mrs. Platt
has been the recipient of many a box

big Denver floral concern. Who
footed these floral bills has not yet

Shortly after her arrival in Ration,
Mrs. Platt made arrangements to give

A. an early age Richard was sent to
England to attend school, with the
,dea that he should become an artist.
mt his art studies at South Kensing-
ton were broken IN .kupon by failing
sami1v fortunes, and the necessity of
earning money in thespresent rather
man waiting to gather It in perhaps
neater afzDuntsa the future. SO,
through the agency of friends of his
fat1er, he set sail for Boston. where
an opening had been made for him in
big dry goods house.
But business was not his forte. He
spent all his leisure time in painting
pictures. which he found, moreover he
M. his mercantile job and departed for
London The next seven years in
London were years Of keen disap-
pointment to the young artist, who had
a hard struggle for existence. His
ability to play and sing finally landed
him an engagement to play a small
part in one of the Gilbert & Sullivan
operas Then he concluded that Am
erica offered a better field for his
talents and once more he set sail for
Boston. Proceeding to New York he
made his first American appearance at
the Standard theater in that city, as
Dromez in Three Black Cloaks." This
was in 1882. His next venture was
Nick Vedder in a musical setting of
rip Van winkle." after whic he re-
turned to the Gilbert & Sullivan line
and appeared as the Lord Chancellor
In "Iolantho." It. was not, however,
until several seasons later that he at
tracted any amount of attention from
the public What might be called his
first hit was made as Baron Chevrial
in "a Partisan Romance" under the
management of A. NJ. Palmer.
Mr.. Mansfield's first creation as a
star after his appearance as the old
Partisan rogue was as Prince Karl at
the Boston Museum on April 5, 1886.
He followed this with 'Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde on May 9, 1887, at the same
playhouse nine weeks later appearing
at the Madison Square theater, New
York in his own play of Monsieur"
as the. starving music master. These
plays formed his repertoire for two
years, at the end OF which time he
went to England and gave his cele-
brated production of King Richard
Ill" at the Globe theater March 16,
1889 The house was not large and
the production was on such a scale of
magnificence that it cost more to raise
the curtain each evening than the re-
ceipts could possibly amount to.
Since 1890 Mansfield has had a stel-
lar career that places him high among
the celebrities of the stage Among
MS creations have been Beau Brum-
mel Don JUAN" Nero" "Shylock."
Mons Beaucaire" Julius Caesar"
Don Carlos" and Ivan the Terrible" I"
Mr.. Mansfield was married Septem-
oer lS, 1892, to Miss Beatrice Cameron,
who had been his leading woman for

The House of Delegates of the

Saturday passed a plain and sensi
ble two-cent railroad fare bill, one
that cannot, probably, be success
fully assailed in the courts. 1t is
now before the Senate, where the
railroad lobbyists Will doubtless
assall 1t and try to substitute less
effective measure.
The bill, which is known az the
HOLE bill, provides for fat two
cent fare on all railroads in the
State making the minimum fare ten
cents; an extra five cents may be
added if fare is paid on the train :;
all tickets except excursion tickets
shall be good until used.
There is no ambiguity about this
measure, and we hope the Senators
from this district will 7ote for it.

demand nothing less from their
