Washington, Jan. 12.-It has been de-

commission that the statement of rates
and fares shall be affirmative and def

May t. 1907. contain long and short
haul clauses, alternative rate or fare

In special tariff circular reports. just
issued, the following statement of the
attitude of the body is made;
Must be eliminated.
The commission desires and requires
that al the earliest practicable date all
such features and practices as are
above referred to, shall be eliminated
from tariffs and discontinued either by
supplement or by reissue of tariffs. II
does not underestimate the volume of
work in checking off rates and fares

STARVED N HIS
HIDING PLACE
Skeleton Of "SIapjack" Dave
Parker Found in Tunnel In
der Old RaWIlnS Building.
ESCAPED FROM JAIL IN 1868
NOTORIOUS MURDERER OF THE
EARLY DAYS IN WYOMING.
lsnecial 10 The Heraldl


Rawlins Wyo.. Jan. 12.-The finding
Of a human skeleton in a tunnel under
one of the oldest buildings In Rawlins
lear Cd the mystery OF the fate OF
'Slapjack' Dave Parker, who escaped
from Sheriff Lemons of Carbon
county at this place in 1863. The legs
Of the skeleton are in iron shackles.
and by these skackles William Daley,
who led a posse that searched for Par
ker in 1868, identified the bones as
those of the outlaw of early territorial
days The tunnel in which the skele-
ton was found was discovered while
workmen were demolishing the old
building Beside the skeleton lay a
double barreled squirrel rife, with one
barrel above the other. and a fine globe
sight. Old-timers remember this gun
as the property Of Parker
Bad Man of Early Days.
Parker was one Of the most noto-
ricus bad men of the early days Of the
territory of wyoming. At the time OF
his escape from Sheriff Lemons he
was under arrest on charge of muir
dering two men on the Platte river.
He was confined in the building be-
meath which his skeleton today was
found, while awaiting the arrival Of A
train on which he was TO be taken To
IneNGuQe- before AllG tram GdlllE liz
mysteriOusly disappeared. and posses
searched the surrounding country for
DAYS without finding any trace Of him.
Sheriff Lemons was charged with
having permitted the prisoner TO get
away and with having assisted him
after his escape.
The finding today of the tunnel un-
der the old building and the skeleton
Of Parker therein shows that the pris-
Oner probably accidentally discovered
the excavation while confined in the
building i'm 1863, descended therein and
remained in hiding until he starved to
death.
Once Held up Cheyenne.
Parker in early days operated with
the two Martins brothers, who were
notorious outlaws. Shortly before
Parker was arrested for the Platte
river murders he and the Martins
held up Cheyenne, standing off the
entire peace force and 2 large mob Of
citizens. and then escaping TO the
hills on horseback. They came direct
to Carbon county and were employed
by Perry l. Smith, now postmaster Of
Rawlins. to kill game for Union Pa
cific construction gangs. which were
laying the railroad westward from this
place at that time.
One Of the Martins brothers a short
time after the disappearance of Par
ker rode into Laramie and shOt-up the
town. killing Sheriff John Brofie when
the officer attempted to take him into
custody. Later the outlaw was killed
during a running fight with a posse.
The bones of Parker either will be
buried in the local cemetery or pre-
scented to the Wyoming Historical So
ciety for exhibition beside the cele-
bTated boots Of the unlamented big

pied five days. At the end of these
hearings the report says:
Inasmuch as we were by this time
satisfied that the mine operators had
not in any particular established a case
justifying either the bringing or the
retention of the troops, we did not
leem 1t necessary to take any extensive
evidence on the other side, and the
hearing was substantially closed with
a brief formal interview with the COM
mittee from the miners union
Precipitated by Mine Owners.
Reviewing the conditions leading up
to the present strike and since the
strike began, Nov. q last, the report
draws this conclusion:
The action of the mine operators
warrants the belief that they had de-
termined upon a reduction in wages
and the refusal of employment TO
members of the Western Federation of
Miners. but that they feared to take
this course of action unless they rad
the protection of federal troops. ard
that they accordingly laid a plan to
secure such troops and then put their
program into effect.

new YORK BANKS
FULL Of MONEY
"The Roosevelt Panic" Now
Over Except for the Bust
ness Man and LabOrer.

New York, Jan. 12.-The rapid clear
the release of large supplies of credits
TO the money market were the i'm
portant features of last weeks events
in the financial world. The New York
bank statement of the previous week
gave the first decisive outline of the
turn in the situation The statement
on Saturday, showing a s6.000,000 sur
plus. has brilliantly confirmed the
weeks impressions. The effect has
spread throughout the money markets
of the world and has sent supplies
back into the loan market with some
thing ike a rush. 1t was obvious that
funds which had been withheld
through a lingering spirit of dis
trust of the banks position or as a
precaution against possible extra de-
mands were returning freely TO cen
trail reserve points.
Credits Expanded.
The basis of credits is greatly ex-
banded by this process. The surren-
der of the privilege of deposit of part
of their cash in the reserve and CEN
trail reserve cities and its recall home
in the panic was the central factor in
producing the banking crisis, and the
retention of this cash was the cause
of the prolongation of the crisis and
the maintenance of the premium on
currency. The anxiety caused by that
prolongation up TO the end of the year
may be seen to be now completely dis
sipated, so far as accommodation to
solvent business is concerned. New
York has ceased to draw gold from
London, and rapid regeneration of the
Bank of England bullion holding has
followed. The Bank of France marked
down its official discount rate from
to 31s per cent and market rates OF
discount receded in all the foreign
markets
Demand for Commercial Paper.
In New York the most important ef-
feet of the new developments was the
springing up of an active demand for
commercial paper, which effectively
relieved the deadlock in that depart
ment and quieted the fears of wide
spread ernbarrassments in the mer-
camille world from inability to secure
extension of large maturing Obliga-
tiOns.
In the securities market the effect
of this increase of facilities for con-
Quoting speculative operations has
been pronounced. The resulting out
break of speculation showed increas-
ing animation and was stimulated by
various professional devices and by
the dissemination of rumors of import
ant developments. The need of a large
uncovered short interest was an i'm
portant contributing factor to the
rapid advance which developed, and
furnished the material for much of the
demand forced by the bidding up OF
prices by the organized bull party in
the market.

operators issued a statement in which
they indicated a reduction i'm miners

intention not to employ miners who
belonged to the union.

While this cut in wages ami le-

Conditions Did Not Justify.
Conditions at Goldfield, the report
asserts did not justify calling fo' the
troops. The single case of the unlaw

accomplish any damage. was surround
ed by such circumstances, the report
says. as to raise d reasonable doubt as
TO the genuineness Of the charge that
members Of the union were RESPONSE
BILE. The great bulk of the testimony
of the operators tended to show ac-
cOrding to the report. not the exist
ence of past or present disorder, but
the possibility of future disturbances
should the troops be withdrawn. This
view was held by many men of almost
all classes, but was based on the
changed conditions since the troops
had arrived. namely, the declaration
of the operators reducing wages and
refusing to employ union men. AS to
the refusal of the operators to employ
union men. the report sets forth a
statute of the state prohibiting such
discrimination. The commission CX-
presses Itself as satisfied that out of
the entire membership in the miners
union there are not over few hun
bred men of dangerous type, while the
great majority, probably three-fOurIhs
of the mem bership of the union, we're
conceded to be men of law-abidins ten

THE report adds:
Union Laid Itself Open.
by permitting their organiza ton
to be managed and controlled by Taen
of violent tendencies the union as d
body has thus laid itself open to the
reproach of being a vicious orgdniza
ton.
"'In view of the foregoing facts, we
believe there is considerable danger
that serious disorders will be attempt
ed if the troops be withdrawn and the
mine operators insist on carrying oct
their publicly announced policy. But
if handful of men have controlled the
Goldfield miners union and committed
the organization to indefensible POLL

of Nevada should tamely submit to
the domination of this same group and
should not assert their authority and
