NOT ALLOWED TO
DIVERT TRAFFIC
Decision by Interstate Com
merce Commission Against
the "Katy" Railroad.

Washington, July 16.-An important
decision prepared by Commissioner
Lane was announced by the interstate
commerce commission today. 1t in
wolves the right of a railroad to di-
vert traffic from one cotton compress
to another, which, the commission
holds, the carrier does not possess.
The case was that of the Muskogee
Commercial club and the Muskogee
traffic bureau against the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railroad. 1t appeared
that the defendant carried cotton to
South McAlester to, be compressed, al
though it might more easily have been
compressed at Muskogee. The commits
sion holds that the defendants rule
for compression of cotton in transit
results in undue prejudice against
Muskogee and that defendant should
grant all the privileges to one COM
preston point that It grants TO an
other
THE question of compression of cot
ton IN transit" says the commission lis
not one with which a railroad may deal
entirely as it sees fit and without re-
spect to the effect which its practices
have upon the transportation of cotton.
Either the carrier must publish a rate
upon uncOnpressed cotton and another
upon compressed cotton and divorce it
self entirely from the matter of COM
preston, or else such compression as is
given by the railroad becomes subject
to the jurisdiction of the commission. =

PROGRESS OF GLASS TRIAL
Heney Having Uphill Job in Drawing
the Truth From Unwill-
ing Witnesses.

San Francisco, July 16.-Both Sisap-
pointment and success fell to the lot Of
the prosecution in the Glass bribery trial
today. Two witnesses. John Krause, a
sub-agent of the Pacific, and Miss Mary
Ryan, a stenographer, formerly in the
employ of Agent T. V Halsey proved
unwilling witnesses. Miss Ryan, who
was the first woman thus far TO appear
as witness i'm court in any of the graft
cases. was relied on by the prosecution
to tell of discriminating conversations be-
tween Halsey and Glass. but the best
Assistant District Attorney Heney could
get from her was that she had seen Box
ton in Halseys office in the cOmpanys
building in Bush street, and that she had
been dismissed from the room before
Halsey and BoxtOn entered into CONVEX
Sation.
From Z. S. Pillsbury, attorney for and
director of the company. and for many
years well-known lobbyist in this state
Heney after much difficulty elected the
statement that Halsey reported directly
to Glass, and that at the time of the al
legged briberies Glass was the only Of
fetal of the company with power to sign
checks for disbursements without appro-
val of the board of directors.

a box Of powder on water barrel in

Cormick went up to the sixth where the
explosion occurred a few minutes later.
The impression created was that the two
men carried the powder with them and
that Beck dropped his revolver, which ex-

would account for the finding of the shat

Word has been received from
Washington to the effect that the in
formation section of the general staff,
whose occupation it is to prepare plans
against every possible contingency,
have at last realized the merits of Salt
Lake. and in the event of a foreign
war Fort Douglas and the neighboring
territory will be apt to become a vast
military camp. Salt Lake CITY is
named as the reserve centre in one of
their plans for the western reserve con-
centration i'm case of military opera
lions, across the Pacific, against the
Republic of Mexico or Canada.
The strategic and climatic merits of
Salt Lake as a military centre have
been urged by local interests from time
to time. most recently in the effort to
obtain for Fort Douglas one of the bri-
gade posts into which it is proposed
to concentrate the entire army in time
Of peace, and which are to be used as
bases for concentration in time of war
Salt Lakes competition has up to now
been Fort d. A. Russell, at Cheyenne
which is under the protecting wing Of
Senator Francis +. Warren. the chair
man of the senate committee on mill
tary affairs. and Fort Logan. twelve
which has the pull of that railroad and
the well known hustiing qualities Of
the city of Denver back of it.
A Million Year for Salt Lake.
The establishment of the brigade and
concentration points at Fort Riley and
LeaVenwOTth in Kansas. and the ad
mission of a similar intention with re-
gard to San Antonio. in Texas, has,

Cheyenne and emphasized the claims
of Salt Lake City TO the Washington
military authorities. 1t is uD to Salt
Lake, however. to get busy at Wash
ingtOn and emphasize the story told
by the map. There are now at Den
YER Cheyenne and Salt Lake City prac-
tically a regiment of soldiers each. The
necessity of keeping two companies at
Fort DuChesne. near the Uintah Indian
reservation, makes the force at Doug
las slightly smaller. The spending ca
pacity of regiment of men, including
the purchase of current supplies and
transportation by the exchanges. COM
misary and qlfartermaster departments
is about $4,000 per month. A brigade
post would consist of three or perhaps
four regiments. So that Denver and
cheyenne are now nuSlIlnS- ana It's up
to Salt Lake to hustle for between fifty
and seventy-five thousand dollars per
month of business. to say nothing of
from three-quarters of a million to d
million and a quarter dollars initial
building expenditure.
The Army for Us.
1t is understood that reports which
have been made to the war
department indicate that as far
as the military end of il Salt
Lake is an easy favorite, and has
been the first choice of most of the
military men who have served in the
department and of the general officers
who have reported on the situation.
Railroad accessibility and strategic To-
cation against time of war and eli
matte and health conditions in time of
peace are the two principal factors in
the question. The decision as to the
theoretical concentration plans is abb
sOlutely i'll the hands of the general

old man named Stewart, who had worked

strike was declared
Beating Up of Stewart.
Now. isn't it a factg' asked Attorney
Richardson, that old man Stewart got
drunk, went home and was beaten up by
his wife?'
y never heard that theory before, - re-
piled Holman.
Richardson went into long line of
questioning as to the organization of the
Mine Owners association. Holman said
the various mines paid quarterly assess
ments to the association. When the
troops were called out the association
bought the states certificates of indebt-
edness issued to cover the expenses or
the military occupation of Cripple Creek
You decided to get rid of the Western
Federation of Miners because it had called
a strike and you got the militia out to
help you, didn't your demanded Rich

No" replied Holman. I'VE got the mi
litia because the sheriff couldn't keep
order and protect the mining property. -
Didn't the military, the Mine Owners
association and the citizens alliance all
work together?'
"All law and order people did, yes, sir. -

Powder Man at indicator.
L. G. Ramsey, an assayer of Victor,
Colo, who was powder man in the Vindi-
Gator mine at the time of the explosion
in 1903. Ramsey was called In further re-
bUttal of the witness Wood, whose tes-
timony was regarded as highly important
as tending to indicate that the occur
renee at the indicator was an accident
instead of the plot outlined by Harry
Orchard. Wood told of seeing a box of
dynamite left on the water barrel of the
eighth level of the nine and drew the in
ference that Mccormick and Beck took
this powder with them to the sixth level,
where in some manner ii exploded WOOD
explained the finding of the remnants of
a pistol near Beck's body by saying Beck
carried pistol.
In contradiction of all this. Ramsey
declared today that during the time he
was in the mine he never saw a pistol in
the possession Of either Beck or McCor-
mick All powder passed through his
hands and every morning and evening he
inspected the mine TO see that no powder
was left about.

eighth level2' asked Hawley.

Contradicted Wood.
Wood said Mccormick and Beck had
been on the eighth level just before go
ing to the sixth. where the explosion Oc-
Cured Ramsey contradicted this abso-
lutely, saying he saw the two men de-
scend in the cage Just before the explo-
sion and heard them give instructions to
the eager to stop at the sixth level.
At this point the luncheon recess until
2 D. m. was ordered
When Ramsey resumed the stand after
recess he said he found some 40 per cent
powder where Beck and Mccormick Were
killed The only powder regularly used
in the mine was 80 per cent.

London, Ont, July 16.-Crystal hall,
three-story building on Dundas
street, and one of the landmarks of
London, collapsed late this afternoon
and a score of persons were buried IN
der the avalanche of bricks, mortar
and timbers. The falling walls from
Crystal hall fell upon Brewster's and
10-cent store, a low structure adjoin-
ing on the east, completely burying it.
The stores of Hamilton Long & Co.,
and w. J. Reid & Co, on the first floor
of Crystal hall, were filed with
Wreckage.
Stores All Filled.
The building was being remodeled
A number of old supports had been
taken out and iron girders had been
placed. The crash came shortly after
; O'Clock. when all three stores were
filled with customers. 1t seemed that
the front wall of Crystal hall fell out
into the street. An instant later the
street wall gave way and fell onto the
Brewster store. AS the front wall fell
inte- Dundas street, passing pedestrians
had narrow escapes. Two women walk
ing on the sidewalk heard the crash
and started to run. One of them was
swallowed up in the wreckage, while
the other escaped.
A woman with two children narrow
ly escaped the falling debris. The fire
and police departments with all the
ambulances and physicians that could
be mustered at once began the work
of rescue. On account of the great con-
fusion at the scene it is impossible to
account for all those supposed to have
been in the building when if collapsed
Imprisoned in Cellars.
Cries were heard from the wreck
age in the Brewster store and a rescue
party located three girls in adjoining
cellars imprisoned by wreckage. They
say they were not injured and asked
for food and water. Five other girls
can be communicated with, but they
are too frightened to say if any of
their number is injured.
Frand Reid, manager of the Reid
store, says all his staff escaped. The
pile of ruins seems impregnable, and
though the rescuers work with frenzy,
they will be hours releasing any who
may be in the back of It.

tallen was taken out slightly injured.
