TELEGRAPH WIRES CUT AND
RAILROAD TRACKS ARE
TORN UP.
TO ARREST THE LEADERS
The Announcement Of the Activity
Of the Government Has In
creased the Excitement to
a Dangerous Point.

Paris-The government appears to
have acted none too soon in determin-
ing to set the law in motion against
the revolutionaries in the south of
France. Projects report the COM
mencement of efforts to raise the pop
ulace and three departments, the
Aude, Herault and Pyreness-Orient
ales, are apparently nearing a stage
when aggressiveness will replace pas
sivity.
Advices from Narbonne, department
of the Aude, show that the situation
there has become worse. Dynamite
has been discovered on the railroads;
in some cases the tracks have been
removed; the telegraph wires have
been cut so as to impede the arrival
of troops and the revolted villagers
Lave been collecting materials for
barricades.
The excitement at Narbonne and
other places has increased dangerous
ly owing to the announcement of the
activity of the government and the
agitation of hot heads. The announce
ment of the intention of the govern
ment to arrest the leaders of the wine
growers movement was promptly fol-
lowed by a general rising of the coun,
try side with the object of resisting
government forces.
In view of the incendiary threats,
the general staff of the 10th army

charged that soon after she took the
position Mrs. Kaufman began a Sc

death.
Peter Erickson, formerly a hired
man with the Kaufman family, on
the witness stand, said that one day
he saw Mrs. Kaufman pouring boil
ing water on the girl after she had
fallen to the floor from exhaustion.
Erickson started to Miss Polreis'
aid, but was waved back, he said, by
the woman, who said she was throw
ing hot water on Agnes "in order to
get her up" On another occasion
Erickson said he saw Mrs. Kaufman
jostle the girl to the floor in the storm
house when Agnes was so weak she
could hardly stand. This was not long
before the young woman was SEM to
a hospital in Sioux Falls. A little
later she died.

TO STUDY NAVAL CONSTRUCTION
Secretary MetcaIf Will Go to San
Francisco Shipyards.

Misunderstanding Metcalf will
leave Washington June 30 for San
Francisco, where he intends to study
conditions in shipyards, with special
reference to naval construction. The
fact that existing labor conditions ON
the Pacific coast and the high prices
of material make it impossible for
shipbuilders there to compete for gov
eminent contracts with eastern ship
yards has given serious concern to
the naval general board as affecting
the plans for naval development.
While in congress, Secretary Metcalf
strongly resisted the abolition of the
d~ifferential of 4 per cent formerly. al
lowed in favor Of Pacific coast ship
builders and it is probable that If his
Investigations show that percentage
fairly represents the difference be-
tween the east and west, a strong ap-
peal will be made to re%-establish the
differential.

Fifteen Italians Have Been Arrested
on Charges Of Conspiracy
to Murder.

New Orleans.-The state militia was
notified by Gov. Blanchard to hold It,
self in readiness to protect the Italians
arrested in the Lamana kidnapping
case. This order was issued because
the prisoners will probably be trans
ferred in a few days from the New
Orleans parish prison, where they are
considered safe, to Charles parish,
where the boy was killed and where
the trials must be held. This parish
is an entirely rural community, with
small police protection and within
such a short distance of New Orleans
that mobs from this city could reach
there in two hours.
Although in the city the excitement
has subsidized, the temper of the
crowds was shown when about 100
men formed and made threats at the

an Italian whose name closely resem-

Rich Woman Tortured
Young Girl to Death

Flandreau, S. D., June 21.-Mrs.
Moses Kaufman, society woman and
the wife of a rich brewer of Sioux
Falls, was found guilty of manslaugh-
ter in connection with the death Of
Agnes Polreis, a 16-year-old girl who
had been in her employ as a servant.
The verdict was a great surprise and
Mrs. Kaufman and her relatives
were stunned. Her attorneys imme-

guments will be heard at Yankton,
Oct. 10. Oct. 81 has been set for pass
ing sentence on Mrs. Kaufman, her
bond of $4,000 standing.
The death of Agnes Polreis was the
second tragedy in the little family Of

LEADING PRESIDENTS OF vARl.
Gus LINES IN CONFERENCE
AT CHICAGO.
effective on JULY FIRST
Officials Admit They Have Been
Forced to Bow to Public
Opinion-Wiil Revive
Competition.

Chicago, lllinois.-Passenger rates
on all railroads of the United States
will be reduced to 2 cents a mile. The
lowering of the price and complete
abolition of the old Scent rates will
begin July l.
This was the decision reached in
Chicago after a long and heated dis
cussion by the leading railroad presi-
dents of all the Western and trans
continental roads. 1t was not a for
NAL agreement, but is equally binding,
for two big roads doing a t%ransconti-
mental business are said to have
served an ultimatum to others that
they would put the rate into effect
Immediately.
Following the meeting officials of
several of the roads admitted they
had been forced to bow to public opin-
ion and anti-railroad legislation. They
said no further fight would be made
on the 2-cent laws already passed, and
that the roads would accept the inev-
liable.
Among those who attended the
meeting were President B. l.. Win
chell of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, and President A. J. Earling of
the Chicago, Milwaukee e st. Paul.
The first reduction will be made on
the Illinois rates. This is expected to
be followed by a general order from
passenger traffic departments lower
ing the interstate rates. The result
will be hat within a few months the
travelling public can reach any point
of the United States for two-thirds of
the usual fare.
Railroad officials also say 1t will
mean the revival of ieen competition
for business among competing lines.
Another consideration said to have
forced the informal decision to cut the
rate was the impossibility of charging
2 cents in one state to conform to the
law and attempting to charge 3 cents
when the passenger crossed the line
into another state.

Senator Foraker defended the Elkins
bill, which he declared is a complete
remedy, when fully enforced. for all
the evils of the rebate system. He
defended his opposition to the Hep
burn bill on the triple grounds that
it was unnecessary on account of the
existerce of the Elkins bill; that it
is opposed to the principles Of the con-
stitution of the United States. and that
1t was impolitic to permit any seven
men in Washington or elsewhere to
fix railroad rates.
