In order to get in on the ground floor,
should the Interstate Commerce Com
mission hand down decision in favor Of
the city in its famous rate case, the City
of Spokane today fled petitions with the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
over 500, 900 reparation on rates charged
by the Hill lines indirectly to the city.
The rates were Cd stell from Pitts
burg for the construction Of the water
works system of the city, and the
amount demanded in reparstion is the
difference between what Spokane paid
and what Seattle would have been
cha rged had the steel been carried to
that city.
Ia Georgia shippers are protesting
against the charges the Central OF
Georgia and other. railroads have been
making to cover freight, refrigeration
and car service for the moving of the
peach crop to the north. Complaints
we're fled with the Interstate Commerce
Commission today by several shippers,
ION behalf of the fruit growers of the
entire State" against these charges,
claiming that they are 35 per cent. too
high. The Commission is asked to fix
he maximum rate for the service to
grant reparatiOn.

Nothing has been learned up TO a late
hour of the whereabouts of Arthur
Kemp, chief clerk of the police depart
ment, who has been missing since We'd
nesdsy. 1t is said that his shortage to
the police protective fund is about 81, 600.
An examination of his other accounts
show them to be correct. His down.
fall is attributed to the races, which he
persistently played at Benning, Pimlico
and around New York.
Despite the fact that the rainy season is

Trouble I'm Labor Circles.

The decision of the executive board Of
the international Bricklayers Union, Of
Washington, as to whether Local Union
No. l was justified in going out on a
sympathetic strike with the building
trades some days ago, has been received
by the local union. Contrary to their
expectations, the men have been order
ed to return to work. 1t is thought that
this order will be ignored by the men,
and that they will not return to work un-
til all shops have been unionized, re-
CARELESS OF the ruling of the international
body. Should the union vote at its next
meeting to stand firm, it is said that a
500 fine will be imposed upon it. Men,
bers say that before the fine will be paid
the matter will be appealed to the con.
vention, which is superior to the inter-
national officers. No action has been
taken by either the Building Trades
Council or the employers of the las! few
days, as both parties have been waiting
for this decision. 1t is not known what
steps will be pursued by the employers,
but the Building Trades Council says it
will continue to call strikes wherever an
open shop is found.

THE traffic msnagers OF the big rail-
roads have a new bugsbOo. They say
that paid big wages, the employees have
grown so prosperous that the demand
for vacations for the enjoyment of this
increased wealth threatens to interfere
with the handling of the interminable
heavy traffic. A prominent traffic Of

cussing this latest phase of the labor
situation SIS it pertains to railroads, says
that some of the men will only work a

San Bernardino, CAL, July with
the corpse of their only daughter in a
wagon, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Lord, pio-
neers, travelled across the desert ninety
five miles to this city to bury their child
in the pioneer burial plot. For two
days not soul was met on the long, sad
journey. When they reached here,
having been constantly on the road with
the exception of two hours rest beside
q desert spring, both were exhausted.
The Lords live at Old Woman Springs,
sixty-fve miles from Victorville. Their
daughter died suddenly of paralysis. Her
dying request was to be buried in San
Bernsrdino, and, although the parents
realized it would be days before the re-
mains could be brought here, they set
about the task. In the bottom of

On this canvas the corpse
was laid, and with just enough water aud

DURING the fiscal year just ended
1863 vessels of $40, S65 gross tons were
built in the United States. This is the
greatest tonnage built in any yesr OF
the past halt century. The record year
is 1855, when the ship construction in
this country aggregated 5SS, $50 tons,
greatly exceeding that of Great Britiar.
OF the new construction during 1906-O7
there were AZ steamers for the Great
Lakes Us of them exceeding 1000 tons
elch; and "a ocean steamers, aggregating
nearly 100, 600 tons, were built on The

A Word IO Buttermakers.

Dir. Henry Mitchell, seer etary of
the State Board of Health, has sent
letters to the owners OF creameries in

view Of the near approach Of the sea-
son when house flies become abun
dant, we desire to draw your atten-
ton to the necessity of screening all
openings IN creamery buildings
through which flies may gain en-
trance. The agency OF flies in con
veying organisms which are capable
of causing disease is generally rec
ognized, and every creamery building
should be protected as far as possible
against admission Of these insects. ;"

SCHUYLER CONVICTED OF RILEY
MURDER.
35 Witnesses Called

The jury III the case of John T..

Riley, at Califon, January 10, rem
dered verdict of murder in the first
degree at 6:l5 Thursday morning.
They received the case ut $40 We'd
nesday evening, after three DAYS
trial, during which time about Is wit.
nesses were examined A verdict was
reached at 1920 Thursday morning.
aud at Schuyler was awakened aud
Informed that the Jury had agreed
upon verdict. Supreme Court
Judge Reed and Sehuyler's counsel
were aroused about the same time.
No alarm was given and only about
half dozen knew that the Jury were
ready to render verdict. SCHUYLER
apparently showed no emotion when
the verdict was announced, but there
were evidences of breakdown as he
reached the Jail
Judge Reed left on an early tram
and will return Tuesday to pronounce
sentence. Schuylers lawyers will
apply to the chancellor for n writ
of error aud are confident that they
will secure II new trial.
Schuyler is alleged to have murder
ed Manning Riley in revenge for a
whipping administered to him nearly
dozen years ago. The evidence was
purely circnmstantial. Not once
during the trial were law books re
ferred to, facts being dealt will
throughout the trial aud but few ex.
ceptlons were taken by the defense.
1t has been over ~ years since Hun.
terdon county has had an execution
aud only three persons have ever
been hanged here.
John +. Schuyler was sentenced to
be hanged Friday. June. ~, by Judge
Alfred Reed Tuesday afternoon for
the murder of Manning Riley nj Cali.
fon, January 10. Judge Reed was
visIbly affected in pronouncing sen
tence and the prisoner swayed to and
fro as the Judge fixed the date and
hour for his execution. Judge Reed
said; The sentence of the court is
TINT yon be returned to the county
jail from whence you came and there
kept III confinement until Friday, the
2Sth day Of June, aud ON TINT day,
between the hours of 10 in the morn
ing and q in the afternoon You be
taken to the place of execution aud
there he hanged until you are dead.
May God have mercy on your soul.
As sentence WAS pronounced, wo-
man IN the crowded court room flint.
ed. Schuyler was not handcufied,
but was surrounded by II squad of
coustables, Az he wus led back to
prison his steps became more and
more uncertain, aud he almost col
lapsed when he reached his cell. He
made no remarks until he reached his
cell aud then he denied his guilt, and
said it was too bad to hing an lnno-
cent man. Schuvler's two brothers
were present when sentence was pro.
nounced.
The law requiring the death penalty
to be paid in the electric chair does
not apply to crimes committed pre-
vious to March | aud Schuyler will b,
hanged at Pennington.
Schuyler, If denied new triul, will
probably be the last to pay the death
penalty on the Rallows in the stnte.
