NO MORE c. 0. D. LIQUOR
Express Companies Need not Garry
Such Shipments to Kansas.
Judge Pollock Revokes Former Or.
der-conmon Carriers Under No
Obligation to Receive Goods

Kansas city, July 6.--Judge John G.
Pollock of the United States circuit
court, revoked the mandatory order
Friday morning compelling express
companies to carry c. O. d. liquor
and denied the temporary injunction
against the Wells-Fargo Express com
pany and the Pacific Express company
asked by the HarvestKing Dlstilllng
company.
All technicalities raised by the at
torneys for the compliments were
waived and Judge Pollock decided
the case purely on Its merits. After
quoting several authorities the Judge
said In his order:
1T is clear that express companies
are under no obligation or duty in
common law to engage in @. O. D.
carriage Of goods, but that the obllga.
ton imposed to collect the purchase
price Of the article shipped is an OBJ
legation that must rest in contract and
not In an obligation imposed by law"
Several express companies announ-
ced, May IL, that they would no long
er carry c, o. D. liquor shipments
into Kansas, giving as their reasons
that public sentiment is opposed to
such traffic in the face of the Kansas
prohibition law. The manager Of one
Of the express companies said that
he had decided 1t was morally wrong
to carry G. o. D. liquor shipments.
even though 1t was permitted by the
interstate commerce law.
The attorneys for the distillIng com
panies urged that the express COM
panies had no legal right to refuse
@. O. D. shipments Of liquor Judge
Pollock issued mandatory order
June l compelling the express com.
panies to carry the G. o. D. ship
ments until the questions at tissue
might be presented to the court In
proper form. This order be has re-
yoked.

which has been introduced in the

Elk River. His bill requires the
publication. in each issue of all

time of arrival and departure of
all passenger trains and all
freight trains receiving freight
at the place where the paper is
published. The schedule must
be mailed to the newspaper five
days before it goes into effect. It
must be set in six point type

24-point type and the railroad
must pay the newspaper for such
publication at the rate of IS cents
per folio.
Since the scheme to trade
mileage for advertising has been
done away With, the railroads
have so far failed to insert 'sads."
in the papers of the state, ex-
cept in a very few instances. It
is no more than right that the
public should be informed as to
the time schedules of the rail-
roads, and it is generally hoped
that the bill introduced by Mr..
White will become law.

CANAL CONTRACT HELD UP
SEVERAL POINTS TO BE DECIDED
BEFORE ANY Definite AC. -

Washington, Jan. 18-The following
statement was issued by. the isthmian
canal commission during the day:
Chairman Shonts has announced
that at conference between the pres
ident, Secretary Root, Secretary Taft
and himself with respect to the pend
ing contract for constructing the Pan
anna canal it was decided, first, that
the lowest bid-that is of 6.75 per
cent-was percentage at which the
government would be justified in plac.
ing the contract.
'The second point in the determine
ton of this matter is whether or not
the persons making this bid-that is
Messrs. Oliver and Bangs-can qualify
financially under the requirements;
that is to say, whether they can show
that they have or can control $4,000,
900 available for this work; that is
$5,000,000 above liabilities, including
the 100000 which will be required
to make the bond. @.,
1T was further decided that if their
personal record and business standing
are found, after Investigation, to be
all right, they ought to have the con.
tract"

helped 10 spread the flames.
The fire ragged until an early hour
Tuesday morning, when luckily the
wind changed and the fire, having
nothing further to feed on, burned
itself out. All the buildings along
Duke, Port Royal, King and East
streets were wiped out by the flames.
The advices received here indicate
that order was soon restored In the
city, so that the work of rescue could
be begun. The two regiments of sol
diers stationed in the city were called
on to do police duty and they seem to
have performed this duty we'll. The
banks and other places where valuable
property is stored were quickly guard
ed. There have been some reports of
looting. but late advices say this was
confined chiefly to petty thievery and
even this was speedily suppressed.
Hospitals Soon Overcrowded.
The rescue work was undertaken
under the direction of the soldiery and
the municipal authorities. The gen.
eral hospital, which was not seriously
damaged by the earthquake, was soon
filled with hundreds of the injured, as
were several temporary hospitals.
When these places were filled others
Of the injured were taken out to boats
in the harbor.
Hotels, banks, churches and office
buildings are, without exception, lev
eled in wreck and ruin. The treasury
was damaged, but Is still standing.
The city prison was destroyed, but
none of the prisoners was injured and
none escaped. The Port Royal bat
terry was wrecked and two artillery
men there were killed.
The people had a premonition of
the coming disaster in the shape of a
violent wind storm. Their fears were
reused and many rushed from their
!, homes. This undoubtedly saved many
lives, as the people were still in the
streets when the earthquake came.
This is especially true Of the whites
and accounts for the small loss of life
among them. The loss of life was
largest in the poorer sections of the
city, so that most of the victims are
negroes.
1t is stated that there is no imme-
diate danger of serious food famine.
Fruit is plentiful and surrounding
towns have begun to send in food.
The work of burying the dead was
begun Immediately, a necessary pro-
ceeding in tropical country. Many
bodies have been buried without iden-
tification Scores of bodies are still In
the ruins and from a sanitary point Of
view this causes alarm. Efforts to re-
cover the bodies are going on all the
time.

FIRST SHOCK VERY SEVERE.
Subsequent Ones Caused No Damage
at Kingston.

Subsequent Ones Caused No Damage
at Kingston.
London, Jan. ia dispatch from
Holland Bay says that the first earth
quake shock at Kingston, which &C.
Cured at 1886 p. m. Jan. IA, did all
the damage, the subsequent lesser
shocks having little effect. Fires
spread in three directions, famed by
a strong wind, and the firemen were
handicapped owing to the absence Of
water.
The dispatch, after confirming the
reports that hundreds were killed,
burned to death or injured, says that
at least from thirty to forty persons
were killed as a result of the collapse
of the Myrtle Bank hotel The devas-
tated region, the dispatch continues,
stretches from the wharves in the
southern part Of the city to the race
course in the north, to the customs
house in the west and to Fleet street
In the east, containing all the 'prin-
c1pal stores. banks and government
Offices, all Of which were wrecked,
most of them being leveled to the
ground.
The reports received here from st.
Thomas direct estimate the casualties
at Kingston at about 1000 killed, say
that some 5000 persons are homeless
and place the damage done at $10,000,-
900. Concerning the latter, while the
fire insurance companies here repu-
date all liability under the earth
quake clause in their policies, the ma
rine insurance societies are likely to
be pretty hard sufferers, the risk Of
fire to merchandise, wharves and
warehouses having been largely car
ried by these companies of recent
years and their policies do not appear
to include clause exempting them
from the results Of earthquakes.

NO WATER TO FIGHT FIRE
CHANGE IN DIRECTION OF WIND
SAVED A PORTION OF THE
CITY OF KINGSTON.

New York, Jan. 18.-According to
the latest advices received here from
Kingston, Jamaica, the earthquake of
Jan. IA destroyed or damaged prac-
tically every building in the city. Near
ly the entire business section was
ruined by the quakes or by fire.
When the first great shock came
many buildings all over the town col
lapsed, burying hundreds of persons
in the debris. OF these some we're
killed, but the greater number were
injured and these later were rescued.
The first shock was followed by lighter
tremors and then fire started In the
ruins along the water front. The
flames spread rapidly, as the water
pipes had been broken and there was
nothing with which to fight the flames.
A strong wind was blowing and this
