A number of women of more or less

RAILROADS ON BRINK OF RUIN

will now lie dormant, consequently
there will be so much less to float
among the people, fructifying the
labor market, and, following that,
freshening up all lines of trade, and
putting the market in it's finest con-
dition. We have been declared to
have been enjoying an unprecedent-
ed degree of prosperity, but a check
has come to it. The harum-scarum
crowd have had their panjandrum,
and now the public can prepare to
pay for It.
S It has taken seventy-five years
to build up the railroad system; it
has taken only a few months to bring
it to the edge Of ruin, and common
people have been thinking that all
that would happen would be cheap
er rates, and less cost to themselves;
but soon they will find, that business
has dulled down, and that there is
less money astir, and that they are
getting less than they were getting,
of what is afioat. It is time that
there was a let-up on the railroads,
If it is not already late. A brave eff
fort has certainly to be made to stay
the destruction, and alas, the men
who can best make it are discredited
and deprived Of the power they once
possessed to strengthen the business
and system.

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
New York, March 20. The. most
significant event of the week is the
announcement by the Erie railroad
that the important improvements it
had entered upon, involving a /. new
entrance and terminal in Jersey City,
and estimated to cost all told over
tWeny millions of dollars are to be
abandoned, at least for the time be-
ing. This is calculated to make even
the most reckless and thoughtless
man to stop and think for a. while
whether the wild work with rail-
roads is to continue or not.
The chief trouble with the Erie
fact is that it is not alone, but. be-
longs to a class. There is seldom
a day passes without some railroad
announcing that it is hauling in, in
stead Of expanding; that operations
that were to cost millions, and the
money for which was at hand, are
now put on the shelf, because the
money cannot be got to push them
through. The railroads have been
hard hit in their credit, their bust
ness, and in their standing, and the
public will soon find that its time
to suffer is fast appro hing.
When q railroad stops a big inn
provement it means that millions Of
money that would have been spent

SAN FRANcisco,s MAYOR, TRYING
70 PLAY OUT HIS HAND IN
e GRAFT GAME

San Francisco, March 20. No meet
ing of the grand jury beng held to-
day, a pause was given in the bribery
and graft Investigations. A sensa-
tional statement was given out today
by Special Agent William ]. Burns and
other members Of the prosecution to
the effect that Mayor Schmitz is try
ing to force the supervisorial board
to revoke certain Of its public state
ments.
The board Of supervisors is COM
posed Of eighteen men. sixteen of
whom Gas the personnel now stands}
ares in the list of alleged confessors.
One of these, sanderson, is absent for
an indefinite time. He is MORALLY III.
Two others. Tveitmoe and O'Neill,
were appointed long after the Fran
chises were granted. This situation
leaves fifteen supervisors aligned, or
one more than necessary to override
any veto of the mayor
The statement Of the prosecution is
that fourteen Of these are prepared
to revoke certain franchises alluded
to, and that the mayor, backed by the
corporations which were formally ac-
cused Of wholesale bribery, today be-
gan suddenly a campaign to induce
five Of them to resign, in order that
he may appoint Eve "dependables, in
4 their places and SO destroy the power
of that board to revoke franchises.

ABRAHAM RUFF Will Be SHOT BY HIS GUARDS
Il ARMED ASSAULT IS MADE BY HIS ADHERENIS

Thought think the matter should not
be exploited, it is a fact that every
man openly identified with the prose
cution of the bribery charges and
crafts is armed and that some Of the
more prominent of them are employ
ing body guards. Though it may
sound sensational to those not familiar
with the local situation, it is a fact
that for a month we have been keep
ing a special lookout for an attempted
rescue of Ruef, and we shall be happily
surprised if these Investigations and
impending prosecutions end without
gun play.

would be impossible. It is a fact that
each one of Biggy's seven guards is in
structed in the event of a serious at
tempt at rescue by force, either in
court or elsewhere, to shoot Ruef and
turn their attention to his would-be
liberators afterward. Ruef has been
acquainted with these orders. As he
is not the type Of man to consent to
any plan to escaping through force, II
is only his rough and reckless friends
on the outside who would attempt to
devise such coup. Ruef might try to
regain his liberty by strategy, but not
otherwise.
