recently regarding the car shortage

stances permit no other course to be
followed than that outlined, because
the railroads cannot afford to carry the
big excursion business for less than
cents a mile except where an eXcur-
sion is carried on special train. 1t
therefore is not to be understood that
they are willing to make proper re-
duction when the party to be carried is
large and is to be transported from
one specific point to another. Ihe
fact remains, however, that the rail-

GLASS TRIAL ALSO

MRS. r. w. CUDWORTH SAYS
HOWARD VERNON WANTED
HUSBAND SOUNDED"

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-Mrs.
Royal w. Cudworth, wife of the coal
dealer who served as juror at the
Schmitz trial, told the Grand Jury
yesterday of the efforts that had been
made tc influence the vote of her hus-
band on the verdict that was returned
against Schmitz in the French restau-
rant cases.
Several persons talked to me about
my husbands attitude in the trial.
said Mrs. Cudworth, "but the most d.
rect overtures in the matter were made
to me by Howard Vernon, the police

to get in communication with Cud-

of course, and nothing came of the
suggestion. / could not get to see him

Cudworth supplemented the testi-
mony of his wife by saying that d.
Capelli, a driver in his employ. had
seen him just before the trial and
asked him "to remember Schmitz."

MAY NOT
FIND FACILITIES
DOCKS ON THE PACIFIC COAST
ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO ACCOM-
MODATE BIG BOATS.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Now that
the visit of the battleships of the At
lantic fleet to the Pacific coast is off,
cially admitted, the gossip of the navy
department touches upon the docking
facilities available for the accommoda-
ton of those vessels. 1t is generally
expected that after their long trip
around Cape Horn, some of the vessels
at least, will require thorough over
hauling and the question naturally
arises where this will be done, in viey,
of the fact that the navy has but one
dock on the Pacific coast, that at Puget
Sound, which is capable of receiving the
large battleships of the modern navy.
There is a dock at Mare Island but this
is too small for the accommodations of
any of the big battleships.
The government has another dry
dock under construction at Mare Island
which, when completed, will be capable
of receiving the largest of the vessels
now in service or contracted for. But
there is considerable difference of OPP
Mon among the officials on duty at the
navy department at Washington as to
whether, after all, the dock will be
available for use in view of the limited
depth of water across the bar over
which the vessels have to go before
reaching the navy yard Some of
the officers think that this can be done
and cite as an example the recent
feat of the armored cruiser Charleston
which went over the bar drawing "a
feet of water.
The new dry dock at Mare Island has
been under construction for almost six
years. The delay has ben a source of
extreme disappointment to the officials
here and now the probabilities are, &C
cording to the official report received
at the navy department, that it will
be almost year and half before the
dock is ready to be turned over to the
government The contract called for
the completion November 20, next. The
government declaresd the former con-
tract forfeited because of the slow pro-
gress and a new contract was neces-
sary under which the work is now
going on. The new dock will be 720
feet long, 102 feet wide and 80 feet deep
Naval officers however, are not Civ
ing the question of docking facilities
on the coast any serious concern, for
they say there are two large docks at
Hunters Point, near San Francisco, be-
longing to private parties which the
navy may use just as any private ship
owner, by paying the usual docking
charges. One of these docks is very |
large and will accommodate any Amer
lean vessel afioat

AT THE STATION.

A. j. Cassatt, the late president Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, recently
told at a luncheon at the Philadelphia
Country Club railroad story:
"A western broker" he said, "mov.
ed from the city out into the country.
He moved far out, and, since the rail,
road was small and the train service
poor, he travelled to and from town
by carriage or automobile exclusive
ly.
Deciding after a time to keep
chickens, he ordered a patent chicken
coop, and on the day it was expect
ed set out in dray to fetch it home
from the freight office.
'He reached the railroad station
which he had never seen before, after
an hours drive. No one was in sight
but there was his chicken coop, and
with his mans help he soon had it
on the dray, and set off homeward
again.
"A hundred yards or so down the
road he met chap in blue uniform,
with the title station master in gold
letters on his blue cap.
"'Hey, there exclaimed this chap,
excitedly, what the dickens have you
got on that dray?"
"My new chicken COOP the broker
calmly answered.
"'Chicken coop be hanged!' shouted
the station master. That's Muddy

burg. 1t says:
Tactics to the point of impudence

which he is a perfect ignoramus. The
French government has also treated
official Russia strangely almost hos.

the official utterances in the cham.

along that France was anxious to en-.

insincerity and double-dealing is cal
culated to give open encouragement
to the Russian revolutionists, who
claim that France is more attentive
to their voice than to the voice of
the recognized and responsible repre-
sentatives of the Russian empire"
simultaneously the Novoe Vremya
bitterly complains of the confusion
and incapacity of Russian diplomacy,
pointing to the failure of Foreign

of Russian prestige.

Pet of the Permian Days.

One of the most startling fossil won
ders ever unearthed is just now Great
ing veritable sensation and arousing
widespread scientific and popular In
terest In New York at the Museum of
Natural History, writes Lillian e.
Zeh in Technical World Magazine.
This Is due to efforts of Professor
Henry #. Osborn, who has placed on
exhibition a complete reconstruction
Of one of the oldest, and most extra
ordinary four-footed creatures that
ever trod earth. This ancient animal
hitherto practically unknown to the
outside world, called naosarus, or the
carniverous finback lizard, inhabited
the region Of Texas in the Permian
age, estimated to have been, accord
Ing to geological reckoning, anywhere
from twelve to twenty millions of
years ago. The fin-back lizard was 9
most formidable creature, terrifying in
appearance and possessing a mouth
eighteen inches in length and armed
with terrible tusks.
