REIGN OF MR.. sTURBs PASSES
Entrance of Eastern Roads Into
Freight Bureau Reduces All
Powerful Influence.

Chicago ILL.,, Sept 30-With the
advent of eastern railroads into the
transcontinental freight bureau,
there disappears from the railway
field one of the most powerful die
tatorships in railway history. With
eastern roads having an equal voice
in making transcontinental freight
rates, J. G. Stubs is no longer auto
crat of the traffic world. Until the
recent admission of eastern roads
into the councils of the freight bu-
reau the Hartman lines dictated
what all transcontinental rates
should be. Stubs, as general traf-
fic dictator Of the Hartman lines,
therefore held a position which was
unique and all powerful. The entry
of eastern roads into the reckoning
is a result of the new law which
makes them responsible for all rates
in which they concur and they must
concur in a rate before it can be
used over their lines.

does not usually interfere greatly with
the enjoyment and comfort Of the pa
tent
At Molokai all are provided with
food, clothing and houses by the Uni
ted States government, with medical
attendance and physicians. Many of
them have friends who send them mon
ey. The board of health provides work
at fairly remunerative wages for all
who are able to perform 1t and want It,.
The result is that the lepers have a
care-free life in a delightful climate,
with money for luxuries and enjoy
ment There is plenty of pasturage in
the settlement, and every leper Is given
free pasture for one horse. Every le-
per has at least one horse, so that he
can go wherever he likes in the settle
ment. Horse races and other sports are
INDUCED in freely. There are athletic
organizations, shooting clubs, debating
societies, political organizations. There
are pianos and organs and other must
cal instruments without number in the
settlement.
But every leper knows he is there
awaiting his doom-the awful doom
that makes death welcome. He knows
he is an exile from home, from the
world; that here he must stay, far as
the ends of the earth from friends and
loved ones, until the last summons
comes.

Brother Joseph Dutton, comrade of
Father Damien, who died of leprosy.

Declaring that he intended to stay
in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, until wire
less communication with Europe had
teen placed on a commercial basis,
Guglielmo Marconi said recently:
We have finally overcome all OBJ
stacles and in about three weeks will
commence a commercial transatlantic
wireless service"
He stated that bad weather would
not affect service, provided the masts
and poles used in the wireless system
remained unchanged, that the aver
age speed used in sending messages
would be 20 words a minute and that
the rate would be 10 cents word for
ordinary commercial messages and 5
cents word for press dispatches. This
rate, he said, would be cut in two
later
He talked freely regarding his plans
and expressed the utmost confidence
in the outlook for commercial wireless
telegraphy. He said that there would
be no formal demonstration to cele-
crate the opening of the new service.
I'VE shall make no show about it, .
he said, ''but go along quietly. We
have surmounted all difficulties and
we are sure of success"
The message sent from the station
at Glace Bay will be received on the
other side of the Atlantic at Clifden,
Ireland, were Mr.. Marconi said a new
plant had been established. fitted out
with the latest machinery and much
more powerful than the older station
at Poldhu, Cornwall The Cornwall
station, however, will be utilized as {
secondary plant.
Use Continental Morse Code.
Connecting with the wireless sta
lions, Mr.. Marconi stated that the gov
eminent lines in Great Britain would
handle the messages for land transmits
sion, as the Marconi company has
contract with the British government
to collect and distribute all it's dis
patches. On this side of the ocean, h
said, the company has a contract wit
the Canadian government which he be
lleves will place the government inter

Methodists Turn Him Down for In
diana Lay Delegate.
Columbus, Ind, Sept. 29.-Vice
President Fairbanks was defeated
for election as a lay delegate from
Indiana to the quadrennial confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, to be held in Baltimore next
May. Seven lay delegates out of IS,
who were proposed, were elected by
the Indiana conference on joint votes
of the ministerial and lay delegates.
The vice president was not him
self a candidate, but his name was
urged by friends, who assured his
election would follow by acclama-
ton. Instead of this, it was bitterly
opposed by the radical element of
the conference, who took the ground
that electing him would be equiva-
lent to condoning what they regard
ed as an offense against temperance,
the Objectionable offense having
been serving cocktails and wines at
the dinner to President Roosevelt in
the Fairbanks home last Memorial
day.

GREAT BANzAIe FoR VIM. TAFT
Japanese in Streets of Toxic Cheer
American.

EH1GEIGdns
Toxic, Sept 30.-Preliminary to
three days Of social and diplomatic
activities, Secretary of War Taft and
his party spent quiet Sunday in rest
ing in the palace of Siba, an ancient
and picturesque residence belonging to
the imperial family. During the day
numerous Japanese dignitaries and Of
ficials called upon the secretary.
Among the more important of the
callers was Lieutenant General Terau-
chi, the imperial minister of war, who
had lengthy conference with Mr..
Taft. Some importance is being at
tached to the fact that there have
been two conferences between the two
war ministers and it is believed in
certain quarters that the ground work
is being laid for an entente concern
ing immigration.
Another of Mr.. Taft's callers yes
terday was L. Wiley, representing
American commercial interests in
Shanghai, who is anxious concern,
ing the attitude of the United States
in view of the task of the dismember-
ment of China. and who came here to
request that Mr.. Taft make a posi-
tive statement concerning this on the
occasion of the dinner to be given
in his honor by the American asso-
citation of Shanghai. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Wiley was informed that
Secretary Taft would make no state
ment on the question.
Secretary Taft and his family took
long drive in the imperial carriage
in the afternoon. The route which the
carriage would take had not been an
nounced, but the crowds in the streets
recognized the American secretary of
war and greeted him with cries Of
"Banzai" and bows and smiles. 1t
was quite evident that the enthus-
iasm was spontaneous. The Japanese
believe Mr.. Taft is a peace envoy.

With the Japanese question upper

right sort all would be welcome for

ables be kept out?
The president and his cabinet min
listers have had some discussion of the
possibility of limiting the number OF
immigrants that would be received in
one year from each country. Those
countries which are sending desirable
immigrants might be permitted tt

Countries which send to the United

must find other dumping grounds fol

for Monster.
In order to be ready for anything
which congress may ask, the navy
department is preparing plans for a
30O0O-ton battleship having 10000
horsepower engines It's draft would
be about 80 feet, and it would be the
biggest and finest battleship ever
planned by any navy. 1t is said that
this theoretical man-of-war would
have eight turrets and 16 Pinch
guns. That plans are being made
for such a leviathan indicates the be-
lief of naval men that the limit has
not yet been reached and will not
for some time yet in size of fighting
craft. In fact, only the depth of har-
bors and the fulness of the treasury
are likely to place limit on the size
of battleships. Another Dattleship
of $4,000 tons is being planned by
the navy department, but what will
be the actual recommendations to
congress has not been agreed on.

SPORTING NOTES.

Preceding the ball game Sunday at
Tacoma the players from the Butte
and Tacoma teams competed in field
event. Cartwright of Butte threw ne
ball 381 feet and inches, winning
the long distance throw. Myers won
the fungo hitting contest, driving the
ball 373 feet inches. Four RIM
ners tied in beating out a bunt on
the time of 2-5 seconds, and three
tied in circling the bases in IA SIS sec
onds. Shaw of Tacoma won the 100
yard dash in 10 3-5 seconds.
Wallace and Wardner ball teams
were stopped by darkness in seven
innings last Sunday at Spokane.
Score, 5 to 5.
By Seattle's double victory over
Aberdeen and Tacoma's sixth con-
secutive victory over Butte Sunday
there is a chance left the Tacoma
Tigers to beat out Aberdeen IN the
race for the pennant. Aberdeen has
held the lead steadily without losing
it once since the season opened, shar-
ing it only for one day, the first day
of the season. Tacoma has to gain
two games on Aberdeen this week to
pass the league leaders, by which is
meant, if Aberdeen wins four from
Vancouver, Tacoma must take all six
from Spokane. If Aberdeen can win
five games from Vancouver the flag is
theirs.
Great Race in the American.
Interest in all other branches OF
sport this week will be overshadoWed
by that focused on the brilliant race be-
tween the leading teams of the Ameri-
can baseball league for the pennant OF
1907 and the honor of meeting the
Chicago club of the National league
for the worlds championship early
next month. -.
Detroit begins the week with o.
games won and Sc lost, and Philadel-
mia with 81 games won and 90 lost,
a percentage of COS for the former and
col for the latter. Chicago is thlru
in the race. with a very remote chance
of catching the leaders, having a per-
centage of $50.
