BRUTAL POLICY

I(NT Y policy is to make the lines
N manage pay dividends!" ex-
LII claimed Mr.. Hartman in an
interview yesterday, and because of the
candor and truth of the man he is to
be complimented. No mental reserva-
tion there; business from the jump
off, and dollars to show for it; results
tell, and he is after results Such
frivolous things as rebates, combina-
tions, poolings, rakeoffs, percentages,
Determinations, demurrage, excess,
ratings, collisions, derailings and fatal
tiles should not bother the people; they
do not bother Mr.. Hartman; in fact
they aid him in making the lines pay,
and that is all he seeks.
Such oold-blooded, brutal effrontery
is rare, even among railroad men, but
it serves the excellent purpose of show
ing the public just what may be ex-
pected from Hartman. Tomorrow's
kilograms will include an accident with
Los Angeles herald., 1907-08-17

deaths as result, and when public
resentment is heard the answer is II
must make the lines pay"
When joy and gladness were turned
into awful gloom following the Shrin-
ers' conclave in this city, and scores
of homes in distant state were
robbed of breadwinners, the sympathies
and tears of the nation we're wasted
it was common necessity-Harriman
must make the line pay, and good road
bed costs too much money.
When the citizen, surfeited with hor-
picks up his morning paper and finds
the regular dead man for breakfast"
in a Southern Pacific train wreck he
will know it was not due to unavoid-
able causes, as he charitably hoped,
but just a part of the game of Mr..
Hartman to make his lines pay.
Mr.. Hartman is commonly credited
with discretion in his public utter
ances, but this brutal saying discredits
him on that head. Somewhere in the
hearts of the people is the quality of
hatred, and this insufferable arrogance
toward and contempt for them, so
heartlessly published by Mr.. Hartman,
down to it. This lawless and
disloyal statement evokes the unwrit
ten law of retaliation, and Mr.. Harri-
man will learn that fact in his future
labors to make his lines pay.

How San Francisco must enjoy see
ing Abe Ruef riding around in big
automobile! He is described as being
clipper as a lark-waving his hand
gaily at acquaintances as he rolls by
in state with two attendants paid by
the city. Protests by citizens against
the bill of nearly $1,000 a month to
support the curly boss as star board
er in a private hotel have been of no
avail. Abe is said to be allowed to
call on friends of both sexes during his
outings. And San Francisco pays the
bills.

NEW NAVY YARD

T OS ANGELES, by reason of her
1 excellent geographical position,
- has a strong probability of getting
a brand new navy yard in her San
Pedro stocking next Christmas. There
is depth of water for any craft there,
anG as to defensive measures, an up
to-date emplacement of twelve-inch
guns on Point Firmin could sink any
navy that came in range of them. Los
Angeles foundries and machine shops
are equal to most work required by a
naval fleet, and her merchants can
furnish subsistence to all the fleets
of the world, and then some more.
There are a few deluded people in
the town of San Diego, where they
in the harbor, who have mental stra-
bismus on the subject of navy yards,
and who seek to make three old she'll
back admirals believe that the oregon
could float where a claiming sloop
goes ashore every tide.
Here at our seaport of San Pedro
the fleet may come, night or day, with
out a pilot, and find ample shelter,
both from hostile guns and stormy
weather, and it's officers be in direct
touch with all the world. At suburban
points like Santa Barbara and San
Diego these things could not be; and
the spook factory on Point Iona and
the grasshoppers in Santa Barbara
would be dangerous to the discipline
of officers and men.
Secretary Metcalf and the gallant
who accompany him are hereby
given a special tip: That desertions
could not take place at San Pedro.
1t is a Joy to live there. The only
member of the officers or crew to object
to San Pedro would be the doctor, and
he might get used to doing nothing.
At San Diego and Santa Barbara even
the hills are crooked, and the only
way they can tell a true sundown
through the fog is when the birds go
to roost in beautiful Santa Barbara,
or the Rajah Yoga degree worships
bald spot on the mountain in San
Diego No self-respecting sailor could
be expected to serve in such surround
lngs, and wholesale leg bail would
follow.
All of which locates the new navy
yard at San Pedro and adds much to
the prestige and glory of the metropolis
of the Pacific, to wit: Los Angeles.

and we register a kick the people of

ARBITRATE NOW


DEPORTs from the north indicate
n, that the telegraph strike is caus-
ing great damage to the fruit
growers who are dependent upon the
wires for prompt handling of their
crops. Grape shipments are seriously
hampered at Lodi. The grain market
Is reported suspended Prominent
shippers declare that the tokay crop
is in great peril. as they are unable
to get any information regarding con-
dition OF the market in the east and
quotations of prices are unavailable.
In the eastern states the complaint Is
bitter and widespread. Eastern news
papers are clamoring for the settle
ment of the strike Officials of the
telegraph corporations report condi-
tions are hourly improving and declare
there is no delay. One Los Angeles
superintendent gave this report daily
for three days and then boasted that
a Los Angeles man had sent telegram
to Chicago and received a reply the
same day. The commercial companies
admit that previous to the strike there
was a shortage of operators; that their
employees were called upon to work
overtime and that a system of bonus"
wires had been adopted to speed men
and wires to the top notch of accelera-
tion. 1t is also admitted that 30 per
cent of their operators left their serv-
ice when the strike was called. That
hn ~,
first stages of the strike, will be almost
completely paralyzed by the call for
a general strike cannot be doubted.
The question of solution of the
troubles is a vital one
Arbitration seems to be the only way
to settle the difficulty. But how can
this remedy be applied when one or
both sides say there is nothing to
arbitrate?
There is a growing demand on the
part of the public that arbitration shall
be applied previous to strikes and not
afterward when thousands, possibly
of dollars are lost through
or paralysis of the nations
Telegraphers say that no
man in the service dared approach an
official and ask for an adjustment of
real or imaginary grievances. Be tn.
true or not, officials of the telegraph
declare now that there are
no grievances.
Whether or not the telegraphers and
officials desire an immediate adjust
ment, it is beyond question that the
public does.
Thoughtful people in the United
States have viewed with concern the |
steady growth of a sentiment for pub |
fc ownership of public utilities. Every |
lime a public service corporation i'm |
poses hardships upon the people be- |
,ause it is stubborn or selfish or mar
'ow and unenlightened in its relations
With the people it gives an impetus
% the movement for government own
ership.
The striking telegraphers and the
of the telegraph trust are
causing great suffering to the people.
They should not forget this fact nor
the fact that the strike may be a
boomerang and that eventually they
may suffer also.

NEW YORK SOCIETY is

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Mrs Eva NJ

in New Yorlts most exclusive society by
posing as the daughter of the earl OF
Leicester.
She gained entire to the drawing rooms
of the Astors. the McAllisters and others
of equal social prominence through the
good offices of Miss Louise Ward NC
Allister who was deceived by the cul-
ture and brilliant conversational powers
of the imposter. Society is astounded to
learn that Mrs. Fox Strangways is a
hotel beat, a negotiator of worthless
checks, and a fugitive pursued by the

troduced the fascinating stranger TO o.
Percy de la Roche Francis, who belongs
to the Riddle and Cadwallader set in
Philadelphia, and he was the unwittlns
means of placing Mrs x-Stangways
in a position to defraud hotels.
The woman on July engaged a room
at the Park Avenue hotel at $1.5O day,
and she remained until July 8. In settle
ment she handed to the cashier check
for $50 on the Corn Exchange National
bank. and received the difference in
money. From Madam Clarke, a modiste
of West Thirty-third street, she ordered
gowns to the value of $3.50, and gave
check on the same bank. Both checks
were returned, and subsequent inquiry
showed that Mrs. FoX-Strangways never
had an account in the bank.
Owes Manhattan $500
Previous to this the woman had oc-
cupied a handsome suite in the Hotel
Manhattan, from which she departed
leaving unpaid bill of $500. She owes
the Westminster hotel $3.50 and the Meth
erlands a sum which is not divulged. At
the Savoy she cashed a check for S75.77,
which came back marked IN. G." Then
she fitted over to Philadelphia, where De

was sought after by the most punctilious
of the old families.
She ran up a bill of $24S at the Belle

ADAMLEss EDEN
Health Department Statistics SHOW
That Women Are Increasing
In Longevity and Men
Falling Behind

CHICAGO H., Aug. 16.-The strenu
ous life is killing the men of Chicago at
a tremendous rate, while the women OF
the city are increasing their longevity ny
the simple life. ,, 11,,tb
In the official health bulletin Healtil
Commissioner Evans declares that a re"
centuries will see Chicago an AdamlesS
Eden. DR.. Evans draws his conclusions
from the death rate in Chicago for TWEEN
ty years, and particularly in the last
seven. months when five members OF the
stronger sex died for every two OF the
fair
DR.. Evans makes the startling state
ment that during the past seven months
in Chicago about 1900 men succumoeu'
as compared to 5000 women.
He says that in the last year the ratlo
of difference in the death rate between
men and women has been 30, as against
less than 10 per cent twenty years ago.
The cause for this is attributed by the
physician to the strenuous life.
Contributory causes are the quick
lunch constant exposure and careless
ness.
''The men," he says, "are living at
rate that is 80 per cent faster than that
of the women. They work harder. They
take less care of themselves. They ex-
hibit carelessness begotten of familiari-
ty with danger"
The remedy, according to an eminent
lies in the return to the sim
pie life of our fathers.

BEGINS new FACTORY
Casket Concerns at CAMBRIDGE
Show Prosperity.
TO BE A FINE BUILDING.

Cambridge City, Ind. April IL
Work was commenced on the new cas-
ket factory, which the Cambridge City
Casket Co., is building. yesterday. The
dimensions for the new building are
10 40 feet, and two stories high. in
Guiding a boiler house and dry kiln.
The contract for the cement and con-
crete work has been let to A. Il. Feem-
ster and G. Carrot, two local contrac-
tors. The cement work will include
the foundation work which will be
constructed of concrete and brick. The
new building will be modern and up
to-date in every detail being equipped
with modern machinery and all facilf-
ties for manufacturing their special

The eompany's present quarters have
become inadequate owing to the in
creased business in the past year and

INSECTS AS WELL AS
FRUIT KILLED BY. COLD
The Recent Freak of Weather
Did Some Good.
WORD FROM HAGERSTOWN,

Hagerstown, Ind, April 1.-THE sit
uation here with regard to the con
diticn of the fruit, is that cherries arr
generally damaged so that practically
no yield can be expected Apples in
various sections are found to be prac-
tically unhurt, while in others some
varieties are killed, while other yarie-
ties are in good condition. Strawher-
ries and other small fruits are believ-
ed to be in better condition than was
supposed.
While fruit has been damaged to a
great extent, it has also been shown
that many varieties of insects which
work on buds and all fruits In the ear
~ stages, have been depleted and their
inroads this year will be less than us
uaily occurs.
Wheat and oats have not been eff
fected TO any extent here and both
crops give promise of big harvest.
All work on preparing for corn
planting has been delayed for more
than three weeks, so that it will likely
be later than usual before corn is
planted this spring.

Restaurant Employe Arraigned
In Court Following Indict-
ment by Grand Jury.
HE SHOWED INGRATlTUDE.
EVERY FAVOR HAD BEEN SHOWN
HIM BY HIS EMPLOYER AND HE
REPAID 1T BY STEALING FROM
THE CASH REGISTER.

George Lipscombe against whom the
grand jury returned an Indictment
charging him with petit larceny, was
arraigned in the circuit court and on
the recommendation of Pauper Attor-
ney P. J. Freeman. entered a plea of
guilty. BY throwing himself on the
mercy of the court, Lipscombe hoped
to escape with a fine and jail SEN
tence, but Judge Fox sentenced the
young man to a term of from one to
three years in the reformatory at JEFF
fersonville.
Prosecutor Jessup. in making his
statement to the court. argued that the
man should be given a sentence to the
reformatory. He stated that the man
had been employed by Guy Gotschall.
proprietor OF the City restaurant. and
that Lipscombe had been left in charge
of the place one night after midnight
with the result that he had stolen SO
out of the cash register and then left
the city. The prosecutor stated that
the amount stolen was small. but that
the case was aggravated because the
man took advantage of the confidence
reposed in him.
Showed Rank Insrattude.
Mr.. Jessup stated that when Mr..
Gotschall employed Lipscombe the
young man was in Indianapolis with
out work and that Mr. Gotschall had
to get Lipscombe's clothes out Of
hook and pay his expenses to this
city. After stealing the money. the
man the prosecutor stated went to
Hamilton, O., where he spent the sto-
len money carousing with woman.
Later he went to Columbus, O., where
he was arrested.
Attorney Freeman said that the
statement of facts made by the prose
cutor were in the main correct. He
added that Lipscombe was under no
obligations to Mr.. Gotschall for the
kindnesses shown him and that the
money taken from the cash register
amounted to $965 and that Mr.. Got
schall owed Lipscombe S3.75 of this
amount He stated that the young
fellow was driven to this crime be-
cause his father, who lives in San
Francisco, had written to him stating
that he must have money at once or he !
would be elected from his home. Mr..
Freeman also stated that Lipscombe
was assisting in the support of two
minor sisters and that he had lost an
other sister in the San Francisco earth
quake.
