for conspiracy TO defraud the Big
Four Railroad out of $4,000, which

Chinese and Japs at Vancouver
Would Strike.

A combined Chinese and Japanese
organization of Vancouver Monday
afternoon made overtures to the Hin
docs to join them in an industrial
strike all along the British Columb-
an coast The Hindoos refused.
Late that night the police made a
seizure of fifty Winchester rifles, to-
gether with thousands of rounds of
ammunition, which had been purchas-
ed in New Westminsteriby Chinese
The shipment was consigned to Sam
Kee, wealthy Chinese merchant OF
Vancouver and large property own
er. whose buildings were damaged by
Saturday nights mob. The arms and
ammunition are now stored in the po-
lice station.
Chinatown and the Japanese quar-
tiers tonight are guarded in every di-
rection by the police Threats made
add to the seriousness of the situa-
ton Messages were sent to city Of
ficials notifying them that should any
attempt be made TO burn Chinatown,
Vancouver could look for a general
conhagration, 5for both Chinese and
Japanese would take their revenge
without the loss of single hour.

the Canadian government will ex-

Ocean Racers Out of Wireless Zone.

Officials of the Cunard line said
Tuesday that they had received no
advices from the new steamship Lu-
sitana since she was reported by
wireless late Sunday evening from a
fog bank many miles to the westward
of Queenstown, with her great en-
gines driving her along at twenty
FIVE knots. That the Lusitania will
create a new speed record in her mai
den trip to America is confidently be-
lieved by officials of the Cunard line.
who expect to get word from her
when she enters the wireless zone off
Cape Race Wednesday. The Lusi-
tania was handicapped by fogs dur
ing the first part of her trip, but dis
patches received by the company
show that the steamships machinery
was running smoothly and any time
lost by slowing down in the fog will
doubtless, be made up later.
The west-bound record from
Daunts Rocks to Sandy Hook light
ship, which the Lusitania is striving
to beat is five days, seven hours and
twenty-three minutes, made by the
Lucania, of the Cunard line, in 1894
The Lucania left Queenstown last
Sunday, thirty minutes ahead of hei
new sister ship, but within six hour:
after the Lusitania had left Queens
town she had passed the Lucania anC
taken the lead in the race across the
Atlantic
A new turn has been given to the
steamship rivalry and rate war or
the Atlantic by the statement OF Z
North German Lloyd official that II
the event of the Cunard liner Lusi
tania breaking the Atlantic record o
the North German Lloyd, the latter
will at once begin to build a liner
with a minimum speed of twenty
eight knots This is equivalent TO {
speed of thirty-two land miles ar
hour
Steamship agents, it is also stated
believe that the Atlantic rate wal
will pass through the crisis between
now and Saturday. 1t is expected
that the Cunard line will cut the frs
cabin rates far below the present fix
ed minimum rate of the Etruria
which is $62, before her date of sail
ing.

THE ELECTRIC LINE.

The Tribune will not advocate the
voting of subsidy to build the pro-
posed electric line from Logansport
to South Bend
The projectors deliberately chose
another route in the beginning, and
now they tell the Bourbon people
that capitalists will not put up mon
ey 10 build an electric line that does
not run through Plymouth; then
they ask the taxpayers of Center
township to vote subsidy of over
fifty thousand dollars to pay them a
bonus and pay for what they have
lost by trying TO get line through
Bourbon. But this is not all A line
paralleling the Vandalia railroad
from Plymouth to South Bend would
not be. in our judgment, worth one
cent to any business man or any other
citizen of Plymouth. We can go to
South Bend or Logansport by way
of the railroad just as cheaply as we
could ride on the electric road
A line from Plymouth through Bre-
men and ON to Goshen would be
worth the consideration of our citi-
zens, because it would open up terri
tory that is now difficult to reach and
return the same day
If the projectors want to build the
road through Plymouth let them
build it. We shall offer no objection
if they build the road and pay for it;
but we shall not advise men TO vote
a useless tax on themselves or their
neighbors. ~
We do no. expect to make any
noise or buster about this matter.
Voters can do as they please, but we
believe that if they do not allow
themselves to be carried away by
buster and catch trap arguments, the
subsidy will get very few votes in
Center township.
The principle of voting tax to help
promoters is wrong, and the sooner
people quit voting subsidies the bet
ter it will be for all communities. The
time has come when all railroad lines
should be built on their merits, be-
cause if capitalists cannot afford to
build a road it will not pay them or
the communities through which such
roads are built.

Fare Law Invalid, Courts Decision

The cent fare law passed by the
last legislature was decllrel uncon-
stitutional by Judges Wilson and
Audenreid in Common Pleas ,urt al
Philadelphia, Pa. Tuesday An APP
peal will be taken Immediately to the
state Supreme Coust
The case in which the decision was
given was the suit brought by the
Pennsylvania railroad in the locaI
courts to restrain the county of Phil
adelphia from collecting the fine fol-
violating the provisions of the act
The hearing in the case lasted nearly
week. and among the witnesses
were President McCrea and several
of the vice presidents of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad
The contention of the company
was that the law was not constitu.
tional, and that the 2 cent rate was
fixed without any investigation on
the part of the legislature as to
whether the railroads could make a
fair profit under the law, which the
company asserts it cannot do. All
other railroads operating in Pennsyl-
vania also brought similar proceed
ings in various counties OF the state
The decision rendered Tuesday
sustains the contention of the rail
road company that the cent rate
is unreasonable, and then takes up
the legality of the act. 1t holds that
the act does not extend to- interstate
commerce and therefore does not in
fringe on the province of the federal
laws From this point of view the
court upholds the validity of the act

La ReVduciijn Social Y los AStj!OgoS

La Revolution francesa de I77o Y
Ia sangrientas convulsiones del TIE
rror" tueron vaticinadas con rara
precision por los astrologos Pierre
daily en- I4I4, Jean Muller en- I476
y Nostradamus en- 1850. Ell peligro
de guerra en- que estuvo Francia con
motive de los successes de Marruecos
fue leido en- los astros durante ell
eclipse de Agosto de 1905, y asfmis-
mo la Ultima erupci6n del Vesubio Y
la catastrofe de San Francisco de
California hablan sido previstas des-
de 1902, por diversos videntes.
Teniendo este en- cuenta, parece
natural que la revolucion social con
cue suefian SOC ia liStas y radlcal les de
todos los matices, haya sido prOfeti-
zada. Asi es, efectivamente. Y con
bastante anticipation, por cierto.
Cierto Jean de Vatiguerro, que
viva en- el siglo X, y sobre el
cual SC tienen pocas noticias, dijo 81
4 sus contemporaries:
LA Iglcsia universal Y el mundo
entero lloraran TN dfa la toma, la de-
vastacion y la ruina de la mas ilustre
y famosa ciudad, capital ~ senora de
todo el reino frances. La Iglesis Sc.
ra perseguida de un modo lamenta-
bic y doloroso, y sera despojada y
privada de todos sus bienes tempo
rales.'
Asi decia Vatiguerro en- 81 famosa
profecia, atribuida erroneamente d
San CesAreo, obispo de Aries en- ell
siglo V, y hay que convenir en- que
respecto la segunda mitad de su
vaticinio ha acertado de todo en- todo,
cual convendra quien siga con aten-
cion los acontecimientos pol1ticos en-
Francia.
Ell padre Nectoux, I'm jesuita, de-
cia at1n mas esplic itamente EN- I772:
"Se formaran en- Francia dos par
tidos que habran de hacerse guerra

meroso que el otro. Pero Ell triunfo
correspondent al mas debil. Habra
nom entos tan horribles que Sc creera
que ha llegado el fin del mundo. No

dido, todo Sc salvara."

En- esto de la epoca del cataclisrno
