The tariff commission that has
been negotiating with Germany
over the reciprocal treatment of
German and American goods I'M
der the most favored nation clause
has finished it's work and is about
ready to render it's report to the
President. 1t is understood that
q satisfactory solution of the COM
mercial differences has been
reached and that the modus vi
vendi under which the two coun-
tries have been trading has been
extended for a year. 1t has not
yet been learned how the new
trade arrangement is to be enact
ed into law, whether by a new
treaty, or by an amendment of the
tariff act, but the prospect for a
satisfactory settlement is good.

after some of the railroads and
other corporations chat persistent
ly violate the "28-hour law" in
shipping live stock. This is still
called the "2S-hour Laws by cour-
tesy, but in reality it is the 80 hour
law, for the railroads and cattle
shippers managed last summer to
get the time extended to 36-hours
during which they could ship cat
tie without food, rest or drink.
One might think that this would be
the limit that any shipper would
want in which to torture cattle,
but it appears that the fight for the
SO hour law only whetted the ap-
petites of the railroads. The De-
partment has boen Investigating
and finds that there are over 500
cases since the passage of the law
in which cattle have been held on
the car all the way from SO hours
to 80 hours. Sixty OF these
have already been certified to the
Department of Justice for action,
and the maximum fine of $500
asked in each case. This week
there was a single batch of 16 cases
against the Rock Island road sent
to the Attorney General, the time
in transit averaging 45 hours and
some cases going as high a g SO
hours.
All of these cases have been
simply on the time in transit. The
law provides that when cattle are
detained, they shall be provided
with "proper pens and access to
proper food and drink" The in
vestigation Department has shown
gross violation of this provision
also and a circular letter was sent
out to all the cattle shipping roads
this week warning them that the
cases in hand would all be pushed
and that the next prosecution
would be for not pro viding pro-
per Accommodations at the resting
points.

LEAVE DYING VICTIM At
HOSPITAL AND RUN AWAY
Police Mystihed by Case
in Which Automobil-

MAN is UNIDENTIFIED
Attendants Told by RES
cuers" That He Was
Struck by Car
MAN is UNIDENTIFIED

The police admit that they are COM
pletely baff1ed in the case of the prob
ably fatal injury of man who was
carried into the Hahnemann Hospital,
at California street and Maple avenue,
at 1 O'Clock Thursday afternoon His
rescuers. as they represented them
selves to be, left in an automobile
without giving their names or ad-
dresses. They had also removed the
license number from the rear of their
machine.
The chauffeur and a companion told
the hospital attendants that the man
had been thrown from car. They re-
turned to their machine while the in
jured man was being placed on the
receiving table, and disappeared before
their absence was noticed.
The only clew to the identity of the
victim, who lies unconscious with a
fractured skull. is a part of an en-
velope found in a note book, which
bears the name u. w. S. Barger, San
Francisco The post mark and date
had been obliterated. The victim is
past middle age.
The theory that the man was thrown
from streetcar is discredited Had
such been the case the policeman on
the beat would have been notified. and
no such report has ever been turned in
The physicians state that the injured
man has little chance to live.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND

Arrests for Contempt May
Follow Refusal of Clerks
to Accept $40 Bail

The controversy between the Police
Court Judges and the District Attor-
ney's Office over the fixing OF bail for
the release of women of the half-world
arrested in police raids is becoming
more complicated every day and may
lead to the arrest of the District At
torney's deputies in the Office of the
Bond and Warrant Clerk on charges
of contempt of court. District Attorney
Langdon insists that his order fixing
the bail of the women at 500 instead
of $40 be observed by his deputi0
Notwithstanding that all four Police
Judges have signed an order that the
bail shall be $40.
Fifteen women arrested Thursday
night were released on furnishing
bonds of S100 each, as exacted by Clerk
G. NJ Kelly in obedience to Langdon's
order. The women were arraigned in
Judge ShortalPs court yesterday. and
on motion of their attorney bail was
reduced to $50. The Judges state that

OLYMPIC CLUB MEMBERS
/. ENTHUsE OVER NEW HOME
Indorse the Plans of the
Directors Regarding
Raising of Funds

The foundation of the new s650,o0o
home of the Olympic Club was laid last
night in gold by the loyal members of
that organization. AT a representative
meeting of the members the directors
were authorized to raise $150,000 on
the unsecured script Of the club, pay
able twenty years from the date of is
5 per cent per annum. The same spirit
which dominated the men of the city
last April was evidenced at the meet
ing. Subscriptions were offered so
freely that the secretary could not re-
cord them with sufficient rapidity
Three committees of five members each
will be organized to assist the directors
in raising the required amount. The
chairmen of these committees will be
Maxwell McNutt, Sterling Wood and
Frank c.. O'Kane. The money raised
through the efforts of the committees
will pay for the foundation of the new
building and for complete bathing
system, including the big salt water
tank.
The directors have planned a $3.50. 900
building, the receipts from which and
the membership will give a revenue OF
$500, 900 year. The expenses of run
ming the club will be half that amount
The clubhouse as planned will contain
1lO llFlil5 IOO1ilSs dHu 0NSIy Ou6 OF
these has been spoken for by members.
The members pledged their support
to President Harrison. who has proved
a wizard in the past in financing the
club. In 1889 he conceived the idea of
erecting a clubhouse for the Olympians.
He borrowed $685. 900 from James q.
Fair and John W. Mackay and bought
the Post street lot. This is clear of all
incumbrance now and is valued at more
than $250,000. Harrison starts OH the
task of securing finer clubhouse with
the same optimistic spirit which moved
him then. and If any man can carry it
to a successful issue he is that man.
Having the unanimous support of the
members, he is sure OF, the successful
outcome Of the venture.
Addresses were made last. night by
President Harrison, F. S. Mitchell. w.
