MT. B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the executive board of the Chicago,
 Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, con- tributes to the Worlds Work for Ju-
 ly an article in the course of which
 he expresses the belief that the so- lution of the railroad problem is to be found in the cooperation of the people and the railroads through the government of the United States, and that the time has gone by when
 the railroad "could go ahead and work out it's plans and carry on it's operations without consulting the in- terests of the people," He sees that the public demands that the railroads shall be "so regulated by law as to prevent future injustice in their man. agement or discrimination in their conduct" and that the government is shaping it's administrative policy to that end,' and he declares that IS a railroad manager and an individual he heartily approves of that policy and will do all he can ito promote such course" That is the way to talk. Too many railroad men talk and write as if there were but one side to the railroad question and that their side.

New York, July 6.-Chester B.. Runyan, paying teller of the Windsor Trust Company, who is alleged to have stolen $96,317 from that company, and Mrs. Laura Carter, the woman who betrayed his hiding place to the police after he had given her part of the stolen funds, were arraigned in police court today. Runyan's spirits appear ed to be broken by the disastrous out come of his stealing and he main. tained the demeanor of a man who knew he had little to hope for. He passed a sleepless night in the police station and showed the effects of his worry when subjected to the gaze # the curious crowd on his way to police headquarters. On the contrary, Mrs. Carter bore her arrest with consid- erable nonchalance. What had be- come of $42.000 of the trust company's

Jeff Davis is Coming

 The next invitation he has been able to accept was at Knoxville. in Johnson county, where he address ed the people on yesterday. Six days hence he will deliver another speech in that county, near Jack sonvllle. This is expected to be one of the earnest propositions he wilt spring in this campaign, and will be considered to be standard to which he will try to attain throughout his tours.
 The next he will be at HGt Springs, and there a speech equal to that at Jacksonville may be ex- pected.. Political conditions in Garland are most peculia, just now
  and Senator Davis takes keen de- light in stirring the elements.
 On July 19, he will address the people at Tip, Woodruff county.
 Lawrence ounty is not to be over looked, either, and on July :J. 10 will speak on that matter nearest his heart, the trusts. Kingsland is the last date upon which he has f. nally determined, but there are sev- eral other points where he will prob ably go soon after that date, in- cluding Pine Bluff.
 He has been compelled t0 refuse to speak at Muskogee, I. T., in com- pany with Gubernatorial Nominee c. $. Haskell, the latter part of the present month, owing to pre- Vlous engagements. The first swing around the circuit in Arkansas is looked forward to with much inter- est by many, as indicative of the tactics the former governor will adopt in his fight against those who have won his emnity.

cleaning out will be quick and thor ough.
 San Francisco is taking the only course open to save herself from final destruction, and the demonstrations of
 approval of Schmitz's conviction in- dicate that reason is assuming it's i place in the minds of the people. When these same people were carried away by the clamors of the socialists
 and picked up weak and incompetent
 piccolo player to administer the office
 of mayor, they did so in the interests
 of theoretical reform. The penalty for this Aggression from wisdom and
 prudence was heavy.
 Just as Ruef whined and declared
 his innocence even after his full con- fession in open court, so SchmitZ
 played the baby act after his convic- tion by declaring that he had not been given a fair trial or been accorded even decent" treatment by the pre- siding judge. However, this is a r/i- ter of no importance, for the people of San Francisco believe him guilty on many counts, and the people of San Francisco are not likely, in the near future, at least, to make the again of electing a reform socialistic' ticket to take charge of their municipal affairs.

 policy for like amount or more. He whose possessions fail to reach this total must forego the pleasures of courtship and of the gentle arts ness in the hope of reachingn the goal.
 We repeat, the Indiana young la dies may have formed conspiracy to test the courage, the skill and the sense of humor of their actua. and potential admirers. But if they are really, reallq serious and mean to ensign to the outer darkness all young men whose rating falls short of the prescribed minimum, then Cupid has a new situation to con- tend with. He has never been de- feated in the past; he has laughed at locks and towers and meats; he has killed with traps and arrows. Is he at last to be confounded by Indiana young ladies of fancied ul- ra-materialistic tendencies
 If the woung men of Indiana are of the right kind of stuff the an- uual reports of the young ledies so- ciety will have sad cases of surren- der and inconsistency to record. The brave still deserve the fair and generally get them.

MAY CONVERT PIER
into COAL|NG STATION
Engineer Suggests Use for Goys,r.

FINE HARBoR FOR FULL BARGEs
Loaded Floats Could Lay Inside Arch
in Safety, and Over 100000 Tone of
Goat Could be Stored on PIer-such
a Station is Badly Needed for Ac-
comodation.

According to advices from Washing
ton efforts are being made by the
Navy Department to have the big gov
eminent pier nj the jamestown Ex-
position converted into u coaling sta.
ton for United States warships. Some
time ago engineers of the Navy De
partment inspected the pier ana as
ceitaincd that about 100000 tons of
coal could he safely stored OH It..
Bargcs of the kind used In transfer
ling coal from the coal docks here To
the warshlps in the Roads could lay
In III big basin OF the piers, loaded.
and safe In any kind of weather.
II Is estimated that the cost of con-
verting the pier into naval coaling
station would be very small and he
cause of the present lack OF the pre-
per facilities for coaling the warships
In the Roads the pier probably will he
utilized MS a station. The terminal
of the VirGininn Railroad will be only
a short distance from the Exposition
and a branch line of the railroad could
be laid easily from the terminal to tho
proposed coaling station. The naval
'Ht,N CT tnc navy
be utilized in towing the barges from
the piers alongside of the warships
anchored In thee Reads.
AT the present time warshlps In the
Roads are coaled by means of GOLFERS
and government barges at Norfolk.
However. the barges and GOLFERS have
to wait their turns at tho coal docks
here and Mt Lambert's Point and nj
case of rush order for fuel coal TO-
a fleet of warships some delay prob
ably would bo experienced in getting
The barges and GOLFERS loaded. With
q government coaling statios at the
Exposition there would be no delay
In coaling the men-'o-war.
In referring TO thee Norfolk naval
station. the report of the bureau of
equipment to tho secretary OF the
navy says.
There are no modern coalng ia
cilitics at this important station. The
bureau Is endeavoring to have the
wharf built by the army at the James
town Exposition transferred to the
Navy Department for use as coal
wharf. If this be done with the ex-
penditure of comparatively small
amount very efficient coal depot can
be built near Scwelrs Point"
