MIR. LANES MANIFESTO.

Los Angeles. Sept. 21.-Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane said today regarding the San Francisco in dictments: "The railroads must un- derstand that they have to obey the law. There will be no violation of a single one of it's provisions if We can prevent it and We are here to enforce it. It is our duty and We shall fulfill it. The transportation companies may as well understand first as last that there will be no trifling with the pro- visions of the Hepburn law or other railroad statutes. Our work is direct ed not against the Southern Pacific or Hartman particularly, but all trans portation companies showing a dispo- sition to violate the law"

for the clever work of the champion who deftly tucked his head from side to side, Burns arms swinging around his neck.
 The quickness and cleverness of Burns was a revelation. Cans tried all his famous blows and missed them repeatedly. He shook his head in a veXed manner. For the first time per haps. he had met a man whom he could not land on at will and who commanded his respect by his offen- sive tactics
 There was not a let-up in the fierce ness of the fight from the first to the twentieth round. Burns best blow was q left swing to the jaw. but he seemed to use all other kinds almost equally well. Neither man appeared badly hurt at the end of the fight. Burns walked jauntily through the ring and was heartily cheered. Cans merely smiled his satisfaction.
 By winning, Cans retains the cham pionship and takes SS000 of the $10.- 900 purse. besides 5000 for training expenses. Burns gets s2O0O. Jeffries gets S1O00 as referee. The price of seats ranged from & to $2O, and there was not a vacant chair in the house.
 Burns is a better man than either Britt or Nelson. I could have knock ed him out several times, but did not want to take any chances with such a strong awkward fighter. who had a knockout punch in either hand. He did not hurt me, He is one of the gamest men I ever met"
 Tf,n. cry second I believe I should have had a draw. only Cans cleverness saved him."
 Jeffries said: Burns proved himself only second tO Cans in the lightweight class. He can whip Britt. Nelson or any other man Of his weight He needs onl-' science and will improve The fight was one of the best possi- ble."
 The men fought at 135 pounds, but had Burns won. under the agreement, the championship would have gone with the victory. The betting was 10 to 3 on Cans with but little Burns money in sight. If they should fight again the odds would be undoubtedly even. Cans was seconded by Young Peter Jackson, Kid North. and Willie Keefe. In Burns corner were Tommy Burns. Eddie Chambers and Abdul Hamid

TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES
They Are the Plaques of the Assam
Tea Gardens,

From the London Chronicle:
Every animal and plant has it's para
site, and from, this general law, it
seems, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spend
ing their lives in tea drinking. They
are the plague Of the Assam tea gard
ems and are known as the tea bug
and tea mite.
The mites spend their entire lives
on the tea plant and are never known
to attack any other leaf. They live
in families and societies on the up
per side Of the full grown leaf and
spin a delicate web for a shelter.
They then puncture the leaves and
pump out the liquid. in the plant veins.
They seem to become very dainty
in their tastes, for a sprinklins Of
muddy water over their floor and tea
table Is the only remedy known to
sheck their ravages. Even this is not
always effectual.
The tea bug is still more destruc-
tive and is evidently possessed OF an
tea, since It always attacks those Of
a. mild and delicate flavor. Such as
afford harsh ana rasping liquors are
almost entirely free from it, attacks.

ALIEN. CONTRACT LAWS :
GET ALL|s-C CHALMERS
Big Chicago Firm is Assessed
$4,000 For Bringing Foreign
Workmen to America,
Firm Has Strike On With The
Molders Union-Aliens Brought
To Break Strike.

Chicago, Ill.,, Feb. 2S.-The Allis-
Chalmers company, Chicago. was We'd
nesday found guilty in the United
States district court of importing Your
workmen in violation of the alien con-
tract labor laws and was fined $4,000.
The suit was instituted by the govern
ment and the verdict was returned by
jury in Judge Landts' court, Chicago,
after twenty minutes delfberation.
1t is said to be the first time in
the history Of Chicago that an en-
ployer has been fined under the labor
laws. Notice of an appeal was given
by Attorney X. M. Knapp, counsel for
the company.
-Four English iron moulders testified
that they were employed at their
trade in Manchester, England, and
that they were hired by an agent Of
the company and given a contract 10
work for one year in the Montreal
branch of the concern. When they
arrived in the Canadian city they were
told :here was no work for them, but
that they could find employment in
tho Milwaukee plant.
They were given transportation and
advice how to elude the government
officials at Niagra when entering this
country.
When they arrived in Chicago they
were met by J. M. Morey, agent of the
National Founders association and
escorted to the plant Of the Allis- Cha
mers company at Washtenaw avenue
and West Twelfth street. On learning
that the moulders At the plant were on
strike the men refused to work, and
| asked the Iron Moulders' Union for as
sistance. The suit against the COM
pany was the result.
The company denied that the men
were brought here under contract,
claiming that they sought work as
individuals. The government showed
that the president Of the Canadian
branch was a director in the Chicago
! company and that Morey Of the Ma
tional Founders Association was the
employment agent for the concern.
In instructing the jurors Judge
Lands cautioned them against letting

ties influence them in reaching a. YER
dict The fine assessed was at the
rate Of $1,000 for each imported work.
man. The iron moulders have been on
strike at the various plants Of the
company since May 1, Of last year,
and it is said that other suits are to
be brought for importing Canadian
workmen.

there were occa sions when the girls

The girls have to line up five minu-

From present indications the To-

Of Toronto said:
The company is demanding vastly
too much; it is an unreasonable
amount Of strain to ask Of girls under
those conditions. It is distinct men

Contemplate NATIONAL Strike,
It will be remembered that only a
