PLANS SPECIAL MEASURES.
PENNSY WILL KEEP FREIGHT
EQUIPMENT ON HOME LINES.
Many Thousands of the Cars Get on
To Foreign" Roads and Are
Practically Lost.

Official announcement has been
made by the Pennsylvania railroad
company that that great system will
use special measures to keep its
freight equipment on the home lines
To do this it will be necessary for
the company to break away from the
rules of the American Railway associa.

the PENNSYLVANIA has taken an active
part in the past The officials claim
that all former efforts to keep the
company's own cars on the system
have proven unavailing and will take
all possible steps 10 rectify the exist
ing conditions. This action indicates
that the company is not satisfied with
the American clearing house commits
sion OF which il is "a member and will
likely abandon it in the near future.
On April 1. 1906, the Pennsylvania
system owned ,3s3 cars and on
April ! of this year 223,143, a gain of
1881 ears. On April l, 1906 there
were G3,S10 Pennsylvania cars on 9th
er railroad lines, and on April l of
this year there were S0.302, indicating
a loss to the Pennsylvania of 16,492.
foreign" cars on the Pennsylvania
system. During the year this number
decreased to 54,514. loss OF 2,149 to
the Pennsylvania making the net loss
in one year of 1851 cars, which is
2S7 more than the additional equip
ment of the Pennsylvania system dur
ing that period. 1t is claimed by 10
cal PENNSYLVANIA officials that there
are about $4,000 freight cars owned by
the company on foreign lines, over
the number the foreign" lines have on
the Pennsylvania lines.
According to reports officials are
now at work on the scheme to keep
Pennsylvania system cars on the home
lines and interesting developments in
of freight equipment on ''for-
eign" lines is expected as the result
of the lead taken by the Pennsylvania
road.

Union Pacific Cuts Freight Rates.

Reduced freight rates are announced
by the Union Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line between Denver and 227
stations ON the roads mentioned in the

REAL HE'LL SHIP
TWENTY-FIVE CHINESE SHOT AND
THROWN INTO THE SEA.
PASSENGERS HAVE BATTLE
Grave Charges Against the Comman-
der of the Ship That May Cause
International Complications.

San Diego, Cal.-Two officers of the
Chinese crew of the British steamship
Maori King, in quarantine, told horri-
BILE story of race riot and mutiny as
result of which six Chinese and two
Russians are dead and 200 are more
or less dangerously wounded.
The sailors who escaped from the
ship at quarantine declare that the
mutiny was started and prolonged by
the action of the commander and his
officers in shooting down twenty-five
Chinese and throwing their bodies
overheard
This the officers deny.
The British vice consul, Allen T.
Hutchinson, has started an exhaustive
investigation.
Capt j. w. Duncan has filed state
ment declaring the officers only used
their revolvers in defense of their own
lives.
According to Captain Duncan, the
Maori King left Vladivostok April 18th,
with 921 Chinese, Alt Russians and a
crew of fifty-six Chinese.
1t appears that Chinese contractor,
Lee Sun Sal, lured the Chinese on
board the ship from the vicinity of
Harbin on a promise to land them in
San Francisco. When two days out he
told them a mistake had been made
and the boat would land them at Quay
mas, Mexico On learning of this de-
ception the Chinese broke out in
mutiny, chased the officers of the ship
into their cabins, attacked those of the
Chinese>who remained faithful and
then started war on the Russians
Disease broke out among the Chi
nese, making the situation worse. As
they refused to allow the surgeon near
them, over 100 died like rats and were
thrown overheard.
1T was real hell ship" said First
Officer t. S. Vernon, "and I have seen
some pretty tough lots in my time
Just a week ago the propeller shaft
smashed through the steel case and it
took us two days to repair it. All of
this time we were being beaten to and
fro in a raging storm, the waves wash
ing clear over the decks. But the Chi
nese and Russians were bent on muir
dering each other and the battle still
went on.
"The Chinese rushed at the Russians
again and again. cutting and slashing
and stabbing. The officers were sim
ply helpless" n
British Vice Consul Allen Hutchin-
son has appealed to the military au-
thorities and orders have been re
ceived from Washington that as many
soldiers as are necessary to quell the
mutineers be detailed from Fort Rose
Grams.
Captain Duncan asks that the
United States allow guard to accom-
pany the Maori King to Guaymas, as
the Chinese cannot be landed on this
side.

One Hundred Are Drowned.

Buenos Ayres.-A dispatch from
Montevideo, published here, announces
that the French Transport Maritimes
cruiser Poitou, from Marseilles April
9th, for this port, has been wrecked off
the coast of Uruguay. One hundred of
her passengers and crew are said to
have perished.
1t is understood there are 200 pas
sengers on board the vessel, and that
her cargo will prove total loss.
The Poitou struck thirty yards from
the shore at spot called Rincon de
Herrero. Panic broke out on board the
vessel when she grounded and great
number of terrorized people jumped
overheard. Some of them swan
ashore, but many were drowned. Gus
toms officers at Rincon de Herrera
saved fifty out of the 800 passengers
who are said to have been on board.
How many others have been saved is
not known.

A. Fish Story.

Trout protection! Nonsense!" said
. gunner of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's common thing for a
trout to jump from the water, seize a
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking in the air, where
1t can get no purchase upon the uni
verse. and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats 1t at its leisure and swims away
out of the Jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be a match for one
Of their fish stories"

Baby Rides cowcatcher.

Engineer Slanson was driving his
big locomotive on the Chicago. Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railroad when he saw
flutter Of calico out by the pilot of
his engine. He looked again and was
Mortified to see baby clinging to the
cowcatcher bars. Stopping the train
he found little girl, just learning to
talk. She had got on at Calamar,
Iowa. to take a buddy 'ide," she said.
So tight had she held on that though
the big engine was going forty miles

No Criticism to Make.

Mrs. Hwfa Williams. the English So
ciety leader, talked at dance in New
York about the fashion of riding
astride that has taken hold of English
equestriennes.
Some of our young women" said
Mrs. Williams, dress out and out like
men. They wear long coat cut like
hunting coat, a cap, riding breeches
and top boots 1t is handsome cos
tune and 1t is not immodest, but un-
doubtedly it attracts good deal OF
attention. They have been telling in
London lately story about an Eng
lish girl who has adopted this riding
rig. Pulling up her horse one after
noon she said to an artisan who was
passing: Can you tell me If this is the
way to Wareham?'
THE man looked her over carefully.
Then he touched his cap in a respect
full manner and replied: Yes, miss,
yes-you seem to ave got 'em on all
right"

Don't Like Kinders PersIstency.

The town of Grand Junction and
George j. Kindel have had a falling
out, and the town has requested Mr..
Kindel to refrain from giving it any
more undesirable advertising as re-
CARDS freight rates. This is what the
gingery town on the western slope
says to Mr.. Kindel
There is very general feeling here
that your continual display of your
chart in all sections and under all cir
cumstances is advertising Grand juno
tion as the place from which homeseek-
ers should steer clear, because you
place her at the very top of the list of
high freight rates.
Now, while we have just cause for
complaint along this line, we prefer to
make this complaint to the railroads
and then to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, rather than to advertise
the mater In all sections from which
we draw our immigrants.
1--WE feel that we are justified in this
matter because the general conditions
here are such that our people can stand
excessive rates if they must, and still
do better financially than can be done
in some of the sections with lower
rates. We do not advance this as an
argument in favor of our present rates,
but to show how this section and peo-
pie looking for locations for homes
may be made to suffer because of the
Impressions your work in this matter
creates.
I'VE would respectfully request that
you give some consideration to this
feature of your work and in the future
give us little less of this undesir-
able advertising. Sincerely yours,
CHAMBER OF CUMMhnCr,
ID. A. Aupperle, Sec"
Mr.. Kindel, in letter to the Grand
Junction Chamber of Comemrce, tells
that body II his exposition of the trans
portation situation fails to please 1t
that the facts must be altered. He re-
minds the residents of that town that
he has caused the railroads to reduce
freight rates from S175 to $1.45 per
hundred. He also says that the freight
and express rates will soon be reduced
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.

WHERE WOMAN IS SUPERIOR.
Vegetarian Springs Few Facts on
Astonished Companions.

Since the first of the year" he
said, II haven't had a smoke, and
haven't taken drink"
Everybody looked at him with
amazement, respect and awe. How
strong-willed he must be, they said;
how ascetic, how spiritual! 1t was tre-
mendous.
And yet" said a pale vegetarian,
rall women. or at least SO per cent. OF
them, maintain this wonderful absti-
pence their whole life long. Why
don't you praise them for it?"
With his medicated handkerchief
he brushed the sneer from his lips.
I'VE men," he said, beside women
are hogs. We call our women silly;
we won't give them the vote; but the
average woman lives on higher
plane than the average man. She
thinks of nobler things than money
grubbing, drink, tobacco, food.
did you ever hear your wife
growl about the cooking? Did you
ever hear of woman epicure? No;
woman is above the hoglike pleasures
OF the table. She is above such
tobacco and whisky seance as is now
going on here"
The vegetarian put on his cap OF
medicated flannel, and, despite the
warmth of the night, drew the flannel
eartabs over his ears.
Give woman her due" he ended.

ate, more spiritual creature, than
coarse. gross. hog-like man."-Cincin-

Rough Riders Ready to FIGHT.

Boise, Idaho.-Intimations amount
ing to orders from the War Department
at Washington that the two troops of
cavalry at Boise military post shall be
kept in readiness for an emergency call
have been received here.
A visit to the picturesque and an
cient post situated just four blocks
from the court house where the Hay
wood trial will be formally called
demonstrated the authenticity of this
report. The Boise post is situated in a
canon between abruptly rising foot
hills. Rapid-fife guns mounted on one
OF these eminences just a step from the
county building would enable the gun
ners to riddle that structure and
sweep the street with death without
their leaving the government inclos-
ure.
distinct understanding existing be-
tween the President and Governor
Gooding is to the effect that within
the time it would require message to
be transmitted to Washington and Or
ders wired here these rough, riders of
the mountains would be ready for ac-
tion.
Although there are but 100 men in
the two troops, they are for the greater
part veterans who have seen service
in the Philippines and Cuba.
1t Is considered significant here that
these trained men were sent to the
local post less than six months ago to
relieve details of inexperienced SOL
diers. Despite these precautions, the
state officials insist they anticipate no
outbreak of any character during or
following the trial.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
6ance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

The Saddle.

The heavy man should be most par
ticular about his saddle and that il
shall he not only broad seated, but long
in the tree. that his weight may be dis
tributed over as large a surface on the
horses back as possible and should ex-
ercise great care that not only is it well
stuffed, especially about the withers,
put that the stuthng is constantly
worked light and kept from caklng or
becoming lumpy anywhere. Neglect of
these precautions will inevitably lead
to chatting and bruising of the back or
painful pinching and bruising of the
withers, this latter Injury leading
very possibly to further complications
in the way of tistula, etc, which may
result in permanent and very severe
complications. The individual of light
or weight is more fortunate In these re-
spectS, as he is not so likely to injure
his mount severely by the mere amount
of weight he represents, but even he
must be duly careful not only upon the
grounds of self interest, but upon those
of ordinary humanity.-F. NJ. Ware In
