THAT'S GRATITUDE"
Boy Helped by Newsboys Lodging
House Charged With Theft

NEW YORK. September 27-Ralph Bon
neau, the sixteen year-old boy who went to
the Newsboys' Lodging House in New
Chambers street a short time ago with a
hard luck story, disappeared yesterday with
SO belonging TO Z. j. Adele of 10 Rose
street. The boy told Supt. leigh that he
came from France ten years ago with his
uncle, Robert Bonneau. They had lived in
Chicago, the boy said, till two years ago.
when his uncle disappeared, and after that
he had supported himself by selling news
papers. The boy could not name any Of
the streets in Chicago, but Mr.. Heigh de-
cided that he came of a good family and
put him in the apartment in the Newsboys'
Lodging House known as the Waldorf
Astoria.
Then Mr.. Heig got him a job as an errand
boy for Mr.. Adele. AT first he was paid 81
a week, but he did so well his salary was
raised to 81. Yesterday morning. Mr.. Abele
says. he gave S15 to the boy and sent him to
make purchase. He has not been seen
since.

FIERCE RUSH AT CORNELL.
Freshmen and sophomores Meet in
Sharp Encounter.

ITHACA, September 27.-One of the
fiercest rushes that Cornell men have seen
in ten years was held on the hill late
Wednesday night, when 500 underclassmen
met in three sharp clashes in front of the
Heutis street entrance to the campus.
There were more than 500 freshmen in line
and the sophomores numbered 800.
After considerable maneuvering and Skin
mishing the classes came together In a
fierce encounter. The first two rushes were
unsatisfactory, as the men became sepa-
rated. The third contest, however, was a
fierce and bloody miXup The freshmen
poured down the incline leading across the
bridge and were met by the sophomores
at the entrance. Scores scores of men
in the front ranks tumbled together in q
great mass of kicking, squrming and
scrapping humanity.
The lights at the gate were darkened and
this added to the intensity of the fray.
Nothing but the stone wall over the bridge
and an iron rail alongside of the bank
stopped many men from falling over the
gorge into the creek below, a sheer drop
of $50 feet.

transportation companies that no japanese
Will be admitted 20 Canada unless they
carry passports made out specifically to
Canada. This stops the dumping of Jap
anese into British Columbia from the Ha-

the Dominion government hal in mind when
1t decided to try to restrict japanese imml-
grafton to Canada.
1t was stated soon after the influx began
from Honolulu that those Japanese having
left the jurisdiction of the mkado's govern
ment that government had no further con-
troll over them, but the Japanese officials
still commended that the terms of the treaty
ratified by the Canadian parliament this
year OVERRIDE any previous agreement in
regard to immigration. High legal opinion
In this country has. however, come to the
conclusion that the exclusion of Japanese
unless they came from Japan direct would
in no way interfere with the treaty.

THE HEARST PLAN.
National Conference Today, State Con-

NEW YORK, September 27.-The head
quarters Of the Independence League, IN
the Gilsey House, were thronged last night
with delegates from all parts of the state
who are to attend the state convention OF
the league Saturday and of representatives
from about q dozen states who are to take
part in a conference to be held today to
consider plans for making the Independence
League national organization.
This conference is to be held in one Of the
small meeting halls of Carnegie Music Hall
and will be presided over by William R.

the bridge the mass was spread out, and
several men were thrown against the iron
fence into the bushes which fringed the
gorge. Ten or a dozen contestants were
taken out Of line during the fray, some
of them badly hurt. They were rushed to
the Sheldon court dormitory or nearby
houses and a few were taken to the IN
Urinary. Physicians were summoned from
town to aid the wounded, and upper class
men rescued many from under the pile Of
students.
Among those who received medical treat
ment were Charles 8. Baker, a sophomore
who suffered severe bodily injuries re-
ceived from kicking; Walter Kane, fresh
man. who was banged across the head and
suffered from a semi-concussion of the
brain, and o. F. Tyson, who was badly cut
about the head.
Severe condemnation is heard over the
selection of the battle-ground. Indscrin-
mate rushing is forbidden by the faculty
but 1t is customary to pull off at least one
before college opens. The freshmen won
the rush.

Col. Jack Chinn Keeps Only Dogs.

LOUISVILLE, September 27.-More hard
luck has befallen Col. Jack Chinn, who
startled the sporting world several days
ago by executing mortgage on his famous
Blue Grass stock farm. Col. Chinn fell and
broke two ribs two weeks ago. and just as
he thought they were knitted he displaced
them again by twisting himself while
asleep at the Sealbach Hotel in this city.
Col. Chinn has advertised his farm, horses
and crops for sale to satisfy his creditors.
He announced yesterday that everything
he owned in the world except his pack OF
hounds would be sold to pay the debts.

Sailing Ships Displaced.

Sailing ships have practically disappear
ed from the lakes" continued Capt. Nc
Dougall. Some of them have been made
over into barges and are towed with car
goes: many have been wrecked and lost;
others are permanently laid up as useless.
Sailing doesn't pay. 1t is too slow and too
extensive, The sailing ships cannot com
pete in freights with modern steamers.
Even the insurance, however small, makes
a difference in profit nowadays; every penny
counts. The lake freighters carry cargoes
at less cost than is paid for the trans
portation of merchandise at any other
place by any other means in the world. The
rate per ton-mile on coal, ore. wheat and
other natural products is almost fnfintesl-
NAL; you have to make your calculations In
decimals of mills. 1t will cost you more to
send your trunk from the dock to the hotel
than to ling it from Buffalo to Duluth, ana
in comparison with railroad rates, which
have also been decreasing annually for
many years, and are now down about to
the bottom, the lake rates are merely frac-
lions. The expenditure of government
money in the improvement of lake chan
nels and harbors has been very large l
cannot tell you offhand how much; you can
get the figures from the engineer depart
ment of the army, but the saving in freight
rates to the people of the United States
represents an even larger sum every year
The minimum will not be reached, how
ever until the channels in the Detroit and
St Marys rivers have been deepened. The
deeper the water, the larger the ships; the
larger the cargoes, the cheaper the cost of
transportation and the lower the rates.
Thirty Trips Instead of Eight.
lone Of the modern steamers is expected
| to make thirty round trips between Duluth
and the ports of Lake Erie every season of
navigation. The old sailing ships thought
they did very well If they made eight voy-
ages, and then they had to be towed con-
siderable part Of the way.
The increase in traffic has not been con-
| fined to coal and iron,' continued Capt.
McDougall. Enormous quantities of mer-
| chandise are carried by these ships.
Last year more than 6,0OO,0 600 barrels OF
| flour were carried through the 500 canal,
! and as many as 5000, 600 barrels have been
| carried annually during the last ten years:
| Last year nearly half a million barrels OF
| salt were reported and the average for sew
| eral years has been as high as 100000
| Last year more than million tons of gen.
! eral merchandise were reported as passing
| through the 500, and various other kinds
| Of freight are included in the total besides
| raw material, like wheat, coal and iron ore,
| although the latter are, of course. the prin-
| cipal cargoes. These figures are very large,
| but l believe that the lake transportation
| business Is still in its infancy.

BARN BURNED

Last Thursday noon the barn
and several other buildings on
the Chas. Hicks farm ewest of
town., were burned, The farm
hands were all in for dinner when
it was noticed that smoke was
coming from the chicken coop.
Before anything could be done
the building was in flames. The
fire spread rapidly from there to
the buggy and machine sheds
and then to the barn which was
about forty feet AWAY. The wind
was blowing from the south so
the house was not damaged.
All the stock was saved except a
few head of hogs. About ten
tons of hay, some machinery har-
nesses and other things we're
burned. The loss will be several
thousand dollars, part of which
is covered by insurance, The
origin of the fire is not known.

Soft Drink
Joints Closed.

Irish Mike caused somewhat
of a stir in this city Tuesday
night by getting indiscreetly an
minated landing a bunk in the
local jail. The next morning he
was brought before the Police
Magistrate and fined $40. and
costs. This caused Mike to re-
pent and tell where be got the
stuff. The result was the closing
of two soft drink joints where
among other things was found
some cider, a sample of which
has been sent to Prof. Laid for
analysis and further action is
suspended until a report is re-
ceived from him.

Another week of anxiety is
past and ALPS well' with the
wheat crop in the Craik district.
Several nights were very cool
but there was no frost, and pro-
spects are that a spell of good
weather will follow. Barley cut
ting started last week and it is
expected that the wheat harvest
will start about the middle of
next week. On several farms
near town the wheat is turning
color and the heads are full and
hard. Near the lake crops are
further advanced and some of
the wheat is expected to yield
fifty bushels per re.-Craik

School Notes.
BY Prof. Thoe. q. Piereon

The public school of Hope will
open Monday September the sec
ond. It is hoped that all the
pupils will be present the first
day. It is very important that all
the little children who expect to.
enter school for the first time be
present at the beginning of the
school year. Children often have
to remain two years in one grade
because they enter a month late.
Another very important factor in
the progress of children in school
is, that they be present every
day. If children are absent they
fall behind in their work and be-
come discouraged. A third fac
tor in the progress of children in
their work is, that they be punct-
ual, children who enter school at
the beginning Of the year, who
are present every day, who are
punctual to the second will. be
amply reward by the progress
they will make in their studies.
The policy of the school is to help
every child. The cooperation Of
parents and patrons will be
greatly appreciated by the teach
ers.
