Lumber Consumption
Chicago
| n
Railway Age.

halfway Age
The total amount of lumber re-
ceiyed at Chicago in 1906 by lake and
rail aggregated about 100000, 900
feet, which makes Chicago by far the
greatest lumber market in the world.
The shipments from the northern
lake ports, including the Canadian
harbors, reached about 100000 feet.
Computing on a basis of 5000 feet to
the acre, SOC, 900 acres of northern for
ests are laid waste every year for the
Chicago trade alone.
The rail shipments will easily reach
twice this amount or about 100000
feet. In other words, it takes 100000
acres of northern timber annually to
supply the Chicago market. About
81 per cent of the total receipts are
from the south, yellow pine constitu-
ting about One-half of this traffic.
Figuring on basis of 10000 feet of
standing timber to the acre in the
south, these statistics show that the
Chicago market annually consumes
the lumber product of 800, 200 acres of
forest. 1t is estimated that II per
cent of the lumber output of the
country last year was handled in Chi
cago.

Under Military Occupation.

Belfast, Ireland, Aug. This city
is under military occupation today. A
fresh outbreak of the strike of men en-
gagged in the coal trade and attempts to
create disturbances are responsible for
the practical seizure Of the city by troops.
1t is feared serious trouble will occur
before the day is over. As the soldiers
are under instructions to fire if mobs be-
come violent, it is feared the day will be
marked with much bloodshed
Yesterday the striking carriers caused
fresh trouble by breaking of all nego-
tiatlons to end their dispute with the en-
ployers. But todsy's action In calling
out the coal men again has brought mat
tiers to head.
Immediately on leaving work the coal
strikers took possession Of the streets.
Troops we're Immediately called out,
They we're roundly abused and hOoted
at by the strikers, and sympathizers,
but no demonstrations we're attempted
early in the dsY.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. There is
still an acute possibility it will become
necessary to call out the militia unless
the strained relations are speedily termi-
mated. Serious trouble is bound to arise
soon If the difficulty is not settled and to
preserve order 1t will probably devolye
upon Governor Conner to order out the
soldiers. On the other hand ii the South.

OF revocation seems to require, riots and
outbreaks on the part of the angry peo-
pie are almost certain to result. To add
to the seriousness of the situation there
are rumors of strike by railroad en-
ployes who are getting dissatisfied on
account of the protracted dispute.

Order Restored in Morocco.

Tangier, Morocco, Aug. Two
hundred aud ifty sailors and soldiers
from the warships now guard Cssablsucs.
Order has been temporarily restored.
With rapid fire guns the foreigners now
guard every available point. 1t is be-
lieved outbreaks can be prevented.
The outskirts of Casablsnca were she'll
ell after fighting in the city had ceased,
it is stated, at the request of the military
commander, who confessed his inability
to restore order. The armed Moors we're
driven out.
One dispatch from Tsngier says the
military commander has surrendered to
the French consul number of Moors
accused OF instigsting The attack on the
landing party from the French cruiser
Gslilee. They are held prisoners and
have been threatened with instant death
if there Is another outbreak.
Alarming news has reached here from
Mszagsn saying foreigners there are
threatened. The steamer Emir was sent
last night to take off all the foreigners.
Paris, Aug. France has sent
note to all the powers making plain her
position in the Moroccan crisis. Most
important is the announcement that the
policing for Casablnaca will be under
taken Immediately, jointly with Spain,
as provided for by the Algeciras confer
ence. The note states Frances determi-
nation to maintain the authority Of the
Sultan of Morocco and the integrity of
his empire.
1t was announced today that M.
Thompson, Minister of Marine, will re-
turn to Paris tonight owing to the seri-
business of the Moroccan situation
London, Aug. Full credit for prevent.
ing terrible massacre Of foreigners in Casa
blanca is given the French seamen landed
from the wsrships by the correspondent of
the Times at Tangier. In the face Of the
overwhelming numbers the Frenchmen, with
the greatest courage, fought desperately aud
ultimately put the Moors to fight.
According to the correspondent the sailors
were tricked by Moors. When the first de-
tachment Of sailors was landed by the Galilee
the gates Of the city were closed behind them.
Trapped they were attacked by the natives.
A Dayonet charge cleared away for sailors,

Mob Spirit in New York.

New York, Aug. Failing utterly
to check New York's unprecedented
wave Of crime, the police today in eject
has constituted itself rescue service
for the purpose of saving alleged tends
from death at the hands Of mobs. Five
cases of mob violence, in every case led
by mothers of the children attacked,
kept the department busy today.
In all parts of the city the mob spirit
seems to be stronger than eges before
and the cry OF "kill the brute p will
bring hundreds Of men ready to do the
work.
When Paul Sorgersto seized eleven
year-old Grace Joso in east Fourteenth
street he was set upon by mob that
placed rope about his neck and beat
him nearly to death. When he escaped
and fed to a car barn il was stormed by
the mob demanding his life. The little
girls mother led tho mob. The police
reserves beat back the crowd. Four
other men we're rescued from mobs by
policemen.
New York, Aug. 7--Gsston Kerchal,
a young Greek, is dying in Bellevue
Hospital today, an innocent victim of
New York's crime wave dementia. He
was walking along east Fourteenth street
when he approached crowd OF men
and women discussing an attack upon a
small girl. There the brute 70 yelled
some one. Without giving him the
least chance to explain he was beaten
until he fell unconscious. A policeman
dragged Kerchsl into hallway and held
the mob of until reserves arrived. Ker-
chaPs skull was fractured and it is prob
able that he will die without knowing

Terrible Railway Disaster.

Berlin, Aug. An express train
bound to Berlin, from Hamburg, colided
with freight today, at Trenessen, and
was smashed to kindling wood, with
fifty casualties. Details of the accident
are lacking. Several Americans and
English are reported among the victims.
Twenty bodies have been removed
from the wrecksge, but the debris is
only half cleared away.
Owing to the great confusion and the
crowds gathered about the scene it has
been impossible for the minister of rail-
roads and his agents to obtain an accu-
rate estimate of the injured. The trains
we're going at high speed when they col
lided. The force of the impact was
shown by the manner in which the two
locomotives were demolished and hurled
from the tracks. The coaches were
piled one above the other.
The suffering of those caught in the
wreckage was so horrible that it was
difficult for the rescuers to continue
their work.
The head of a little girl, apparently
severed by heavy piece of broken glass,
was found fifty yards from the track.
The features were scarcely bruised.

ter of Anna Markowiiz from the county
jail. The prisoners still maintain they
know nothing more than they have told.

Modern Lady GOdiVa.

Coventry, England, Aug. Glad
chiefly in clouds OF gauze flowing hair
and an alleged suit OF aesh-cOlored tights,
modern Lady Godiva, riding upon a
white horse, today is the talk of the
whole countryside. The occasion was
the revival of the procession, last seen
in 1888, in which the famous benefactress
of Coventry was the chief object of in
terest, as she retraced her famous ride
through the street. When the revival
was planned many insisted that GOdiva
must appear in her original nudeness,
in strict adherence to the tradition.
There was great cutlery from the
clergy, however, and as compromise
an actress, whose specially ia living
pictures, was engaged aud clothed her
self in tights and gauze. Thus she
rode this afternoon and was seen and
admired by 10000 people along the line
of the parade.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 7, 1907

THE New York Tribune gives very
good reason for reducing the Dingley
tariff in that it is piling up unneeded
revenue In the treasury. This should
be sufficient spur to revision. Ihere
is. however, more urgent reason that
the Tribune does not urge. The tariff
puts fsr greater yearly surplus in the
pockets Of the steel trust, the sugar
trust and other favored monopolies than
II contributes to the federal treasury.
Consumers are deprived thereof without
any resulting benefit. Still, it is fine,
it is encouraging to have the foremost
champion of protective duties go part
Of the way in advocating a needed but
belated relief. The Tribune says.
1t is apparent that the Dingley tariff
is now producing larger revenue than
the country needs, and this condition,
though not embarrassing for year or
two, should not be permitted 10 become
chronic. There is no economic excuse
for collecting unnecessary taxes or pill
ing up a surplus simply for the purpose
of distributing it among the banks ID
the form of non-intefest bearing deposits
A plethoric treasury invites extrsvs-
gsnce in legislation, and the ideal in
fiscal administration is to balance as
nearly 90 possible national needs and
income. We can 90 along for year
or two with an ill-adjuSted budget. But
some modification of our present tax
laws will be imperative by 1909 or 1910:
Public opinion does not incline toward
decreasing the internal taxes on spirits,
malt liquors and tobacco. But If these
are to be maintained the customs sched-
ules must be revised, both with view
to undermining them and redistributing
the protection which they afford and
with a view to decreasing customs rev.
enues. Thus both political and ad-
ministrative considerations unite to
suggest the wisdom of revising the tariff
in 1900.

IT HAS for years past been the proud
boast of the big trusts that by means of
combinations the prices of their wares
were reduced and that thereby the public
at large WAS benefited. The Standard
Oil Company has claimed that it has re-
ducsd the price of oil; that it has been q
benefit to the consumer, and that only a
greal combination like the Standard
could have furnished oil at the prices
that have prevailed. EEch one of these
claims is disproved by the report of the
Bureau of Corporations on the investiga-
ton of the oil industry, which report
goes further and shows that the Standard
has taken advantage of every one of its
opportunities to advance the price of oil.
Trusts are not out for their health but
for the swag.

OVER THIRTY merchants and business
men of Petersburg, Va, we're fined in
the Mayors Court Monday for failure to
comply with the provisions OF the ordi-
nance relative to the placing of trash
and garbage on the sidewalks for re-
moval. The ordinance went into eject
on the lst of August, and requires that
all such trash and garbage shall be in-
closed in covered receptacles and put
upon the sidewalk on certain days OF
the week. The fault with the people
summoned into court was that some OF
them bad put out their trash in boxes,
some in barrels and others in various
kinds of recepLscles, all uncovered.
Many of those fued had never read the
ordinance, and were ignorant of its pro-
visions. Officials of all cities have more
or less trouble in enforcing sanitary
laws, or ordinances which have for their
object cleanliness on the part OF citizens.
1t would seem that all residents of cities
should vie in endesvoring TO prevent
anything unsightly appearing in the
streets, but, unfortunately, this is not
the case, and large percentage wait
for the strong arm of the law to force
them to observe reasonable regulations.

NO STRIKE DECLARED.

There is delay on the part of the
labor leaders in Washington in declaring
the general strike on which they had so
vigorously determined last Saturday. 1t
is stated that committees of the labor
leaders are calling upon members of the
employers association, which last Satur-
day refused to meet a committee of the
labor leaders, and that an effort is being
made to obtain the consent of the en-
ployers, individually, to pledge to en-
ploy only union labor and thus establish
the closed shop, which is now said to be
in the sole issue.
In any event the strike has not yet
been declared and there is no. definite
indication that the general strike will be
ordered. The employers association has
opened an employment agency, where
all men seeking work are directed to
members of the association, who have
registered applications for workmen. 1t
is stated that the prominence given to
the labor troubles in Washington by the
presence there In conference OF the lead
ers of the national and international
unions, has taken to Washington more
mechanics than there is now work for.
The employers insist that they have
all the men they need. 1t is stated that
one builder, who is building twenty
houses where union carpenters and
plumbers are employed, yesterday en-
ployed non-union plssterers in order to
bring matters to q crisis, aud practically
made it impossible for his union men to
remain ct work.
