Dispatch, Purporting to Be
From Washington, Said
Ships Were Entering
the Pacific.
Trouble Might Have Been
Caused by False Report
Showing. Sinister
Motives.

Officials Of the State, War and Navy
Departments and also members Of the
Diplomatic Corps are somewhat exer-
clsed over the publication in the Manila
Times Of what is purported to be a
Washington dispatch of the Associated
Press, announcing that the Atlantic bat
Ileship feet had reached the Strait o.
Magellan en- route to the Pacific coast
This supposed dispatch was dated Au-
gust 26- and appeared in the Manila
Times Of the same date. which has just
reached Washington in the LAST mail
from Manila.
The fact that the dispatch indicated
that the exact whereabouts Of the fleet
had been unknown for some time, and
that 1t was finally discovered about to
enter the Pacific was calculated 20 give
rise 70 TIE suspicion that 1T was slip
ping into the Pacific with belligerent in
tentions, which. ii Is pointed out. at

coast was strained, might have led the

HARTMAN RAISES MORE PAY
Union and other Pacific Railroad EN-
plOyes Are Let In on
the Profits.

Clerks and stenographers and some Of
ioials in the Union Pacific and other Har-
Timan headquarters in Omaha and other
cities have been uniformly benefited by
advances in salaries. Some three months
ago a general movement began and It has
eliminated in the increase Of pay OF thou
sands Of employees. Wednesday being the
first of a new month and therefore a pay
day, many hearts were made glad in the
Union Pacific headquarters, when drafts
indicating substantial raises were passed
around. The increases are from 10 TO %
per cent.
THE head of the Hartman management
recognized the very patent fact that the
cost Of living had gone up so much within
the last few years as TO be entirely be-
yond the scale of salaries" said an Of
fetal of the Union Pacific. THE company
found that faithful employees had become
unable to cope with conditions because
expenses were so geographically out of
plumb with their purchasing power. At tho
same time with the enormous increase in
the cost of living, the stagnation of wages
and salaries, the company recognized the
fact also. that its earnings, like those of
every other business concern, had increased
enormously. In a word II became apparent
that this great wave OF prosperity sweeping
over the land was benehting only the en-
ployer and so Il was decided to let the en-
ploye, who helped make the prosperity in

regulate the street stands to prevent trou-
BILE among the men"
He said there had been no trouble Of any

seeks to secure cooperation among the

sentiments through the columns of the

Quinn is an ardent Elk and wears a beauti-

mighty fine, genial man and a son OF Erin.

his nationality asserts itself.
