yards, and suffered injuries to his back,
conclusion of the brain, and a fracture
of both legs. His right foot was so
badly crushed that amputation may
be necessary, and DR.. Ferguson Of
Thomaston, who accompanied the in
jured man to this city on the 1:15
train, said the nervous shock caused
by the injuries was so severe that
Philips recovery was doubtful. The
injured brakeman is in the Waterbury
hospital.
Phillips, who is unmarried, boarded
in this city, but his home is in Mid
dletown, N. Y. He is well-known
among local railroad men. He is
about 27 years of age His two weeks
vacation was to have begun to-mor-
row, and he was planning to spend it
at his home town and neighboring
places in New York state.
Just how the brakeman met with
the accident has not been learned, but
it is believed his foot caught in a
freq or some similar obstruction, pre-
venting him from getting out of the
way of the approaching train.

UNTAINTED PROSPERITY
COMING TO COUNTRY
Acting Attorney General on
Effects Of Antitrust
Prosecutions.

Washington, Aug. S.-Concerning
frequent requests at the department Of
justice for information as to the pros
ecutions of alleged trusts and rail-
roads, Acting Attorney General Rus
sell to-day said:
Il am daily answering inquiries
which indicates that all kinds of I'M
founded rumors are afloat concerning
Investigations and intended anti trust
suits and prosecutions by this depart
ment. Fortunately or unfortunately
the department is quite unable to do
one-tenth as much work as it is sup
posed to be doing,
II understand that some of these
rumors have been caused by Judge
Landis' fine and troubles between the
railroads and the states in Michigan,
Alabama and elsewhere. particularly
over state laws reducing rates. SO far
as the fine is concerned it may have
operated to convice investors that
such part Of their dividends as come
from rebating and other. illegal prac-
tees will be less certain In the flu
ture.
las for the state railroad rates and
controversies, possibly some dividends
have been swelfed by exorbitant local
rates MY own view is that whether a
lower rate will lessen dividends or in
crease them by increasing travel and
shipments Is chiefly a matter Of ex-
pertinent
II presume it is upon being eonvinc-
cd Of this that some Of the railroads
abandoned their preliminary injunc-
tions Of state law and authority as of
doubtful legality, even if a permanent
injunction shall be properly upheld
upon full proof and after some little
time for experiment.
ut will doubtless be the policy Of
this department to aid in the speedy
determination Of all the questions in
volved in the railroad rates contro-
versy BY the supreme court and in that
high tribunal the rights Of all will be
safe and soon settled. When the de-
partment shall have continued while
longer enforcing the laws against re-
batting and restraints and monopolies
Of trade, the result cannot fail to be
sounder and less tainted prosperity. 2

Found Near Railroad
Tracks

An unidentified Mexican who. from his
dress, is evidently laborer, was found
lying insensible alongside of a gravel bank
near the new freight depot Of the Santa
Fe railroad at Fourth street and Santa Fe
avenue last night.
The man was bleeding from the eyes,
ears and nose, and there was not visible
mark on him to lnulcate how he came by
his injury. His POCKETS had been emptied
of their contents and there was not a
thing of value left on him except a small
piece of a gold watch chain which had
been broken off, evidently by a violent
and quick pull.
At the receiving hospital DR.. Clark made
a careful examination of the man and
stated that in his opinion the Mexican had
been hit with a sandbag at or near the
base of the skull, perhaps one or more
times, which would have caused all the
symptoms shown by him.
1t is believed that the man is fatally in
jured and that he will die without recover
ing consciousness.
Detectives Hosick and Zeigler and Pa
troman Hartnagle were detailed on the
case, but were unable to learn either who
the man is or how he came by his in
jury. 1t is the theory of the police that
he Is the vicLlm of an accident but they
admit that he may have been held up and
sandbagged.

BURGLAR SCARE WAS
ONLY A STRAY POLECAT

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ia polecat
was the innocent cause of considerable
excitement in the vicinity of Lincoln drive
and Wayne avenue, Germantown, at mid
night last night. The animal found its
way to the porch of Davenport Plumer's
palatial residence and encountered Bices-
ter Shamrock, an English bulldog of
three blood ancestry.
Shamrock resented the intrusion and
snapped and snarled at the cat. But the
polecat refused to move and fight en-
sued.
The struggle aroused Mr.. Plumer.
Thinking it might be burglars he picked
UP a revolver and started on on still
hunt. Mrs. Plumer was also awakened,
and in order to help her husband she
telephoned TO the Germantown police.
Patrol Sergeant Ogborn and Policeman
Gregory responded. In the meantime Mr..
Plumer had traced the noise, which he
thought was made by burglars, 10 the
porch, where Shamrock and polecat were
graphing, Bringing his pistol into play
he fired five shots at the cat. One bullet
it is beneved, hit Shamrock, intiicting
slight injuriess. The others dispatched
the cat.
When the police arrived they helped to
remove the dying cat, and that was all
there was to it. But on their return to
the police station they met the lieutenant
He at once ordered them to change their
uniforms and to fumigate the building.
Mr.. Pfumers neighbors were aroused
by the pistol shots, but they did not care
to venture into the street.
In fact, they closed their windows and
saturated the atmosphere with various
toilet waters.

chinatown is battling for peace.
Tong wars are expensive things for the
merchants and dealers of the town.
Since the beginning OF the tong war be-
tween the Bow Oongs and the Hop Sings,
which started with the shooting Of Chan
Mum nearly six weeks ago. the Chinese
merchants of Los Angeles have lost $4,000
In business. In addition, the majority of
the leading merchants of the town have
been barricaded in their homes or places
of business or have gone about the
Chinese section in gingerly fashion with
a bodyguard of both yellow and white
men around them.
All t4.4s costs money not only to China
men but to the Taxpayers of Los Angeles
in the way Of extra policemen and other
expenses entailed in investigating war
and rumors of war among the various
Mongolian secret societies.
Last night several near mandarins, high
and influential members of the five tongs
which exist in Chinatown, appeared in
the office of Chief of Police Edward Kern
and submitted a plan for the settlement
of the differences between the various
tongs.
Police the Judges
The plan comprises arbitration by the
police officials the granting of concessions
on all sides, the disarming Of the various
tongs and a complete suspension of hos
tilities and resumption of the friendly re-
lations that obtain in Chinatown among
all residents under ordinary circum-
stances.
There were present at the conference
members and representatives of the Bow
Dong tong, the Bing Gong tong, the Gee
Ming tong, the Hop Sing tong and the
Sing Gee tong.
1t was agreed by all the representatives
present that the war must be called off;
that friendly relations must be re-estab-
lished and maintained for the common
good, and to Chief of Police Kern, Sergt
Sebastian and other members of the
police department familiar with the situa-
tion was delegated the task of bringing
about this condition of celestial peace.
After more than two hours the little
Hague tribunal arrived at an understand
ing and the first step to be taken for
peace will be the disarmament of all fac
tions this morning when the guns will be
toted into the chiefs office and deposited
as an evidence of good faith.
The warning members of the tongs par
ticularly the Bow Oongs and the Hop
Sings, will then get together with the
police officials and state their grievances.
and judgment will be rendered between
them in as impartial manner as is pos
sibe All factions have agreed to abide
by whatever decision is arrived at by
Chief Kern, and when he gives his de-
cision it is believed that the tong war will
be over-till the next time.
