THE aoLDFIELD SITUATION
(Goodwin's Weekly.)

That 1t should be necessary TO call
federal soldiers to Southern Nevada was
a great shame. There is probably the
richest mining camp of its size in all
the world. The wages were higher than
we're ever paid in any mining camp be-
fore, the hours were short; there was
not a complaint against mine owners ex-
cept that they desired to manage their
own business: but that amp has been
kept in a ferment for nearly two years,
and anticipations of trouble went to bed
with every man at night and o. Up
with him every morning Now that the
soldiers are there. 1t seems to us thai
the civil authorities shonli assert them
selves.
The Ie1 men who h..:, planned all trs
deviltry and were Girer. ng up 10 the
point of terrorism and assassination
ought to be singled out. arrested. fairly
tried. and. IL convicted. put where they
would make no more disturbance for a
series of years. When men under the
much revered banners of labor proceed
to make a portion of our country unsafe
to live in. then If the officers Of the
law are At for their places the right
ones can be singled out and put where
their advice will no longer be heard. We
do not hope for such a rest. for men
are afraid. Men can face any kin of
present danger. but the possibility of
assassination years hence is not a good
thing to contemplate.
We hope the government will hold the
troops in Goldheld until the men who
have made the trouble win lose their in
nuence. and the miners whose instincts
are all naturally good will make new
combinations and start on the pathway
Of prosperity and peace. There il but
one basis on which to settle troubles,
that 10 the basis of justice.

WITH FEET CAUGHT IN
TRACK TWO ARE
KILLED
Children Dead and Heroic
Aunt Dying as Result
of Accident.

Lorain, Ohio, oct. 14.-Mathew
GlOski, aged five, and his sister
Lucy, aged II, were run down by a
Lake Shore train and killed last
night, on a crossing near Abherst,
and their aunt, Miss Sophia Glover,
was fatally hurt. The three were
walking on the track when the boys
foot caught in a cattleguard. In at
tempting to rescue him his sisters
foot also became caught. The wo-
man was trying to unlace the chill
dren's shoes when a freight train
bore down on them.
Miss Glover had succeeded in
Ioosening the boys shoe and had
his foot out Of II but he was so
frightened by the roar of the ap-
preaching train as IT came down on
them in the dusk that he was un-
able to move and he was thrown
with his sister to the side Of the
track. while Miss Glover's body was
borne on the pilot until the train
stopped 100 yards from the spot
where the party was struck. The
boy and girl were dead when found

AUSTRIAN EMPEROR'S
CONDITION IS
IMPROVED
he Arose Considerably More
Cheerful and With Dlmu-
tlOn of Coughing.
HIS DEATH WOULD
DISRUPT THE EMPIRE

Vienna, Austria, Oct. 14.-Optim-
istic accounts of progress made by
Emperor Francis Joseph were re-
ceived from Schonbruen castle this
morning. Though his night was dis
turbed by fits of coughing, the en-
peror felt considerably easier when
he arose, somewhat later than usual
and his mood was noticeably more
cheerful. Though the Inflammation
continued 1t had not increased.
His physicians today stated that
there was now hope for his recov-
cry, as he has apparently rallied the
attack OF weakness to which he was
gradually succumbing. Bulletins an
nouncing his improved condition
were hailed with great Joy by the
populace.
Might Disrupt Empire.
1t is generally believed that the
death of Francis Joseph Will result
under present conditions, in disrupt
ing the Austrian empire, which his
strength of character has so long
held together against adverse odds
The authorities. however, are pre-
pairing for the contingency which
they fear. and believe they will be
able. even should the emperor die,
to preserve the integrity of Austria,

GOVERNMENT MAY SHIP
LABORERS TO
PACIFIC
Lack of Men to Handle Big
Fleet Repairs Causes
Apprehension.

Washington, d. c., oct. l4.-ln
connection with the procurement OF
the large amount of labor necessary
on the Pacific coast to make repairs
to the battleship fleet when II reach
es California next year. the navy de-
partment Is considering PROPOSE
ton, which will undoubtedly cause a
great stir among the labor unions on
the coast. This is to induce eastern
laborers to go there by giving them
and their families free tcansporta-
ton. provided they contract TO re-
main In the government service a
certain time OF course, higher wages
must be paid than in the east as a
necessary feature of this plan.
1t is believed that there will be
considerable opposition on the part
of the Pacific coast labor unions TO
such a plan, though government eN-
perts declare that IL is the only feas-
ible solution of the difficulty which
is now apparent. Should the fleet
reach California without sufficient
men there to handle heavy repairs
and do necessary scraping Of hulls

metropolis, added $40,OOO,O00 in five
transactions to their personal for

With their associates, political and
financial, they plundered the Metro
polltan, and then they worked the
double cross on the investing public.
1t was the same old high finance
game, but on a purely Capt. Kidd
scale.
In plain language this is what hap
pened: The gang purchased two
horse-car lines on 2Sth and 29th
streets for $4,000 and turned them
over to the Metropolitan for bonds
and stock which had a market value
of s5,550,000.
They purchased the Fulton street
line, also horse car, for 100000 and
took $1,S50,000 worth of Metropoli-
tan securities therefor.
They bought the oath street troll
ley line for 100000 and turned II
in to the Metropolitan for $3,70O,0OO
worth of securities.
They sold the Lexington avenue
and Pavonia line, which cost $500.

SANTA FE ROAD WILL
Be SENTENCED
NOV. 4
Judge Welborn Sets That
Date as Time For Imposing
Penalty In Rebdting Case.
FINE MAY BE AS
GREAT AS ST 10000

Los Angeles, Cal, oct. 1.-THE
passing of sentence upon the Santa
Fe railroad company, convicted of
rebating on shipments of lime be-
tween Arizona and California, has
been postponed until November 4.
Last Friday a jury found the COM
pany guilty on every one of the sixty
six counts in the indictment charging
the granting of rebates to the Grand
Canyon Lime and Cement company,
in violation of the interstate COM
merce act
be levied on the Santa Fe under the
law for its offenses is $1,32O,000. The
minimum aggregate of fines which
may be levied is $4,000.
1t is thought likely that the coun-
sci for the railroad will ask for the
suspension of sentence with Judge
Welborn. pending a motion for a new
against them unless the request is
denied.
During his argument before the
jury United states Attorney oscar
Lawler declared that he would pro-
cure the indictment of Attorney
Thomas j. Norton for giving a pass
over the Santa Fe TO an agent for
securing testimony in connection with
the trial.
81 would not hesitate to prosecute
Attorney Norton for a violation of
the interstate commerce laws for Civ
ing a pass from here to Nelson, Ari-
zona, TO one Of his agents, as was
brought out in the case, and intend
to DO So"
This was the statement of his at
titude in the matter made by Attor-
ney Lawler i'm open court.
Attorney Norton conducted the de-
fense's case I'm the trial and he and
Attorney Lawler clashed on several
occasions.

MATHER SAYS ROADS
WANTS FEDERAL
CONTROL
Various Other Executive
Heads of Big Systems Go
on Record TO Same
Effect.
PREFER It TO LAWS
OF MANY STATES
"Varied and Inconsistent System
OfLegislation Throughout the
County Causes Magnates
To Turn to Govern
ment Regulation.

Chicago, oct. 14.-That the rail-
road executives generally approve OF
the plan for government control and
regulation of the transportation llnes
of the country as advocated by ROD
ert Mather, president of the Rock is
Land company, in a speech to the
Chicago Association of Commerce TO-
day was strongly indicated Wheh
various officials went on record 70
that effect. Mathers address was calI-
ed "admirable," and all railroad Of
Acials interviewed agreed with him
as to the desirability of centralized
authority i'm preference to wnat they
called the varied and inconsistent
system of laws passed by the state
legislatures.
State Laws Prohibitive.
There is a feeling among the rail-
road heads of the country that the
legislatures of the states Will con-
tinue to pass laws confining the OPP
erations of the railroads and Limiting
their charges, until such legislation
becomes prohibitive. They believe
the federal government is a much
safer body for controlling their in
terests than the legislatures and rail-
road commissions of nearly n1ty
states, and for that reason have come
round to the idea of urging federal
control of railroads.
President MatnetS Is lHe hiSl " 81
on record to that effect, but practic-
ally every railroad president IN the
country agrees with him.
Too Much Variance.
Mather explained in his statement
to the association of commerce thal
there is altogether too much variance
between the laws of the various states
concerning railroads and their regu-
lation and for that reason, If for nc
other he would advocate fedora
control by means of commission. The
varied laws of the states causes much
confusion on the railroads and II
some instances makes the handling
of freight such a difficult matter thai
the rates are almost prohibitive ant
the railroad cannot afford TO handlt
traffic.
Would Welcome 1t.
"We would welcome federal con
troll of railroads, provided the gov
errment kept on a wise course anC
did not fly off at a tangent, which !
never has as yet" declared an ex
tersive owner of railroad stock thi
afternoon. "In the hands of the ma
tional administration, the railroads
would have but one law-making BODY
to look to and consequently woulC
not have to be tangled up by tn
laws of many states, some of whicl
are at direct variance with those o
the adjoining commonwealth. In m!
opinion, federal control, under pres
ent circumstances, is the prope
course, and | speak for practicall!

OF course the municipal govern

ideas of Whitney. Widener, Elkinds,

as disclosed by the present investi-

mere bagatelle.

At the time that these transac-

up to where there was an average
price of $3.50 a share for the stock

Fish's father built the Illinois

this reason that Stuyvesant Fish

his by inheritance and which he and
