CAR SHORTAGE.


NEW YORK, July ld.--According to
Figures compiled in the New York
Office Of the. Hartman railroads, these
lines have been spending for the past
five years an average Of 10000 every
working day for new equipment, or a
total Of sG0OOo,OOO. This years orders
for cars owned by the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific has been increased 60
per cent and the hauling capacity Of
their locomotives 90 per cent, 40 COM
pared to five years ago, while the traffic
On these lines has in the same time In
creased Al per cent.
That in spite Of this showing freight
delays have occurred in the west Is due
mainly to the fact that equipment is
tied up by shippers. Cars are not only
held overtime for loading and unloading,
bnt thousands are used as storehouses.
Records for the past three months show
that the average Of 3632 cars so held at
the principal Pacific Coast shipping
points on the Hartman lines equals one
fourth OF tho new freight cars they
have bought for delivery this year. y

REDUCE RATES.

CHICAGO, July l6.--The long-talked
of reduction in interstate passenger rates
of western railroads will actually be
made next Friday. Generally speaking
all rates east of tho Missouri river will
be on basis of 2 cents per mile while
to all points west Of there rates will be
reduced to the difference between the
present basing rate and the new basing
rate in effect next Friday
The reduction Of interstate fares by
the western lines is the natural result
of the passage Of laws by Arkansas,
Missouri Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota, The eastern roads propose
to make similar reductions in their in
terstate fares, Their rate clerks vii
meet here tomorrow and continue in
session until they have Checked up"
all the interstate farces on the basis
of the maximum legal mileage of the
various states.

SAN FRANCISCO, July l6.-The ten
sion of the situation in the strike of the
telegraph operators was not relaxed yes
terday and no possible headway was
made toward peace. Commissioner Neil
and President Small met again last
night but refused to diyulge anything
that developed at the meeting.
The men insist that the Western
Union agree to meet committee of
the union. According to one of the
officials of the local union should the
company show a desire to treat with
the striking operators, little difficulty
would be experienced in arranging a
compromise, SO far as the men are con-
cerned. This official said last night that
the men would demand that in the
event OF settlement all members of
the union be reinstated, Members of
the union, according to those in posi-
tion to know the disposition of the
striking operators, would be willing to
compromise in the matter of an increase
instead Of 25 per cent would be accepted.
On the other hand, should the officials
of the company remain firm in their re-
fusal to treat with the striking opera
tors, the local executive committee will
insist that operators in other parts of
the country be ordered out,

SAN FRANCISCO, July l6.-Both
disappointment and success fell to the
lot of the prosecution in the Glass case
today. Two witnesses, John Krause,
sub agent OF the Pacific States Company
and Miss Mary Ryan, formerly I. v
Halsey's stenographer proved unwilling
witnesses Miss Ryan was relied on by
the prosecution to tell OF incriminating
conversations between Halsey and Glass,
but the best Heney could get from her
and that she had seen Boxton in Hall
sey's office and that she had been dis
missed when Halsey and Boxton enter
ed into conversation.
From Il. S. Pillsbury, the attorney for
and director OF the company and for
many years wen known lobbyist in
this state ,Heney after much difficulty
elected statement tht Halsey had re-
ported directly to Glass and at the time
of the alleged briberies, Glass was the
only official OF the compsny with pwer
to sign checks for disbursements with
out approval of the board of directors.
After Miss Ryan took the stand, she
was aksed trivial question or two by
Heney, Miss Ryan insisted that her
memory did not serve her and when
Henep repeated the question, Delmas
came to his feet with this remark to
the court
"Your honor, we must seriously object
to the sneering manner adopted toward
witness by the assistant district at
tomey.'
at was not sneering," Heney ret
torted hotly, "And YOU know it Mr..
Delmas. You have no right to charac-
terize my attitude as sneering."
II submit to the court that it was
sneering," replied Delmas, "And l will
now inform the gentleman on the other
side that my rights to my clients cases
are not to be prescribed or limited by
hini.'
Il shall address myself to the court
whenever it appears to me that the
gentleman is transgressing," replied
Heney, "And will tell him now that if
he does not cease questioning my state
ments I viii settle with him elsewhere" /"
''Ha, ha, ha," laughed Delmas.
Miss Ryan then testified reluctantly
that she supposed she had seen Box
ton and Halsey together. She Didn't
pay any attention to what they said"
and didn't remember" whether she had
ever taken down letter from Halsey
and addressed to Glass,
Then came the most sensational in
cident of the examination, Heney look
ing full into Miss Ryan's face asked
her If she hadn't had talk with Hal
sey in the corridor yesterday. 0bjec-
tion to this was sustained,
didn't Halsey in the hall downstairs
yesterday urge you not to testify to
forget what you knewf'
Before Delmas could object or the
court could rule Miss Ryan answered:
"He certainly did not"
Further questions were objected to
and sustained. Miss Ryan was followed

The building was being remcdeled. A
number Of old supports had been taken
out and the iron girdcrs had been plac-

o'clock when all three stores were filed
with customers. The fire and police de.
partments with all the ambulances that
could be mustered at once began the
work OF rescue, On account of q great
confusion at the scene, it is impossible
to account for all those supposed to have
been In the building when it collapsed.
The cries were heard in the wreckage
of Brewstcr's store and the rescuers
located three girls in adjoining cellars
imprisoned by the wreckage. They said
they were not injured and asked for

communicated with but they are too
frightened to say whether any OF their
number is injured. The pile of ruins
