Embezzler.

The search for Kemp Is still unre-
warded, no clew, the police say, having
as yet been obtained to the whereabouts
Of the former chief and property clerk
That the police are Of the opinion that the
trail leads from Philadelphia, where was
obtained the last information concerning
the woman with whom It is said Kemp
became infatuated is indicated by the
visit of that city Of Detective Cornwen,

successful search. Inspector Boardman
said yesterday that an answer to some
OF the cards containing Kemp's descrip-
ton and photograph. which have been
sent to all the large cities OF the United

very lax said Mr.. Hesse some Of the
property unaccounted for on the books

ABOLISHES SEA POST-OFFICE
German Steamship Lines viii Ter
inmate Agreement.
CsAim Compensation Now Allowed Is
Not SuflcIent-OHer TO Renew Con-
tract at Higher Rates.

Postmaster General Meyer announced
yesterday that the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg-Amerlcan lines had IN
formed the German postal administration
that on January / next they would termi-
nate the present agreement relative 10
the maintenance Of sea post-Offices on
their steamers because the compensation
allowed was not deemed sufficient. The
companies, however. have made an ofrer
OF a rate at which they will continue
the service, and, as the German govern
ment bears half the expense and is in
terested with this government in contlnu-
ing the arrangement. Mr.. Meyer has de-
cided 10 send Second Assistant Post
master General McCleary TO Germany to
make a new contract.
At present sea post-offices are main
tanned on vessels Of the American, White
Star Hamburg American. and North
German Lloyd lines, trips being made
between New York and Germany. New
York and Southampton. and New York
and Liverpool. Recently the Postmaster
General stated that he intended. IL pos
sible, 20 establish sea post-0ffices on the
steamers Of the Cunard Line, plying be
tween Liverpool, Queenstown. and New
York. and also on the steamers OF the
French Line
The sea pcst-ofIices, he said yester-
day, materially aid the New York post
Office In handling mail brought over by
the steamers, and greatly facilitate its
delivery 60 addresses in that city and ex-
pedite the forwarding Of such Of X as Is
intended for other post-offices in the
United States. One OF the advantages
resulting rom the work done on the
ships is that the mail intended for persons
residing in New York is promptly deliv-
cred on the first carrier trip after its ar
rival at the post-oifice. This is very
important matter to the business public
OF New York. making 1t possible, for in
stance, 70 reply 20 certain correspondence
by ships sailing from that port next day.
Its receipt by addresses having been ad-
sanced, in some cases. as much as four
teen hours. In addition, mail brought by
these ships, intended for dispatch 10 other
post-ofices throughout the United States.
IS greatly expedited, sometimes as much
rs twelve hours"

stone of Beth Israel. new Jewish tenn
pie was being laid this afternoon. in the
presence Of a great gathering. several
persons were injured by bolt Of light

struck there was a high wind. and the
rain came down in torrents, which drove
the greater portion of the congregation
into the basement, where the corner
stone exercises were proceeded with.
As Rabbi Loeb, who recently came here
from Washington, was praying, the bolt
fell, shattering the temporary upper
structure. and a rain of debris descended
into the basement. Several persons we're
injured by pieces Of timber. and others
were trampled IN the panic
A horror was averted by the calmness
Of Rabbi Loeb. who called his people to
prayer and stopped the panic. None OF
chose injured will die.

HARTMAN SEES A LOOPHOLE.
Says He'll Send Coal to Pacific
Coast in Foreign Vessels.

FCbAEAss
New York. July 9.-The Southern Pa
ciic Railroad. which owns the Morgan
line OF steamships, entertained a lot Of
distinguished persons to-day aboard the
twin-screw turbine steamship Creole. the
first oeean-gOing vessel of her type de-
signed and built exclusively in America.
There was no speech-making. but there
was some conversation between the great
men Of the railroad company. including
z. II. Hartman, ard its guests.
Hartman did not say anything per-
sonaIly TO the reporters, but through his
representative. J. w. Jungen, manager OF
the operating department OF the Southern
Pacifies Atlantic coast lines, he uttered
this sentiment
The bars are down. If the United
States government has a right to charter
foreign bottoms to carry coal TO the Pa
cifc coast, there is no reason why the
Southern Pacific should not do likewise.
I am going TO send coal to San Francisco
in foreign bottoms"
Rear Admiral Bowles. retired. who is
connected with the Fore River Company.
expressed the opinion that Hartman
would not be permitted to do the thing
ne contemplated. because Of the laws of
the United States.
Hartman seemed TO have the impress
sion, according to his interpreters, that
the Navy Department was breaking the
laws OF the United States in chartering
foreign vessels 10 carry coal from this
coast to San Francisco. in which ease II
would possibly forfeit its coal TO the gov
eminent al a point at which 1t would be
convenient for the navy to get It from
the government.
Another report Of the talk OF Hartman
had it that he said that he did not see
why the Southern Pacific should not
compete with the government and carry
coal IN foreign bottoms.

"JIM CROW" LAW IS VALID.
Commerce Commission UphoIda Car
Segregation Acts.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided that the Jim crow car law is
not discriminatory where equal facilities
are furnished both races.
In passing upon the constitutionality of
the laws enacted by Southern States, re-
curing railroads 10 furnish separate
coaches for the races, the commission
holds that the broad question OF the
right under the thirteenth and fourteenth
amendments Of the Constitution 10 segre-
gate white and colored passengers has
been upheld by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
The decision in the Jim crow car case
was written by Commissioner Franklin
X. Lane, OF California, and there was not
a dissenting opinion among the members
OF the entire membership of the commits
sion. This fact in Itself is significant, for
when the raEway-rate bill was before
Congress. one Of the most persistent argu-
ments offered in opposition TO the meas
IRE by IT'S opponents in the South related
TO the possibility Of the people OF that
section being deprived of the right TO
compel blacks to ride in separate coaches.

is expressed throughout Western Canada
by Americans over the enforced registra-

the United States who desire to preserve
their citizenship in the republic.
1t means annual registrations to pre-
serve citizenship. Consuls all over the
West received their Instructions and
copies of the new law on July l. In Win

during the first week. though United
States Consul Jones says he received nu-
merous inquiries. many Of them from
very remote points in the northwest.
There are at least 60,O00 Americans in
Western Canada, and 1t Is claimed many
are so scattered that they could not even
hear of the new law for a long time
Some Of them believe the law does not
apply to native born Americans. and pro-
pose to test it.
