DECIDES AGAINST OREGON.
Commission Finds Denatured Alcohol
Rates Not Too High.

Washington, Dec. 24.-In an opinion
rendered by Commissioner Clark for
the Interstate Commerce commission
in the case of the Railroad com mission
of Oregon against the o. R. & N. and
other railroads, important action was
taken respecting shipments of denatur-
ed alcohol. The complaint asks for a
reduction in the rates on denatured al.
cohol to Oregon points. The record
shows that denatureG alcohol is manu-
factured in California and is sold in the
North Pacific cities at price which
could be met by the Eastern product
only by reducing the transportation
charges to nothing.
An effort to place denatured alcohol
on a parity with spirits would lead
either to large increase in the charges
on the proof spirits or practical wip-
ing out of the charges on the denatured
article. Such increase in the charges
on the proof spirits, in the opinion Of
the commission, probably would render
futile all effort to compete with the
California product. The rates COM
planned Of were not shown to be unrea-
sonable, unduly discriminatory or un.
Justly prejudicial. The commission
therefore dismissed the petition.

WILL CHECK EMIGRATION.
Japan Gives Canada Assurance-Di
vert Stream to Corea.

Toxic, Dec. 24.-Negotiations be-
tween Canadian Minister of Labor Ru-
dolphe Lemieux and the Japanese gov
eminent, which have been delayed by a
hitch over details, will be concluded
within the next few days 1t is under
stood that Minister Lemieux has fin
ally agreed to accept Japan's verbal
assurance that she will undertake the
self imposed task of limiting emigra-
tion to Canada. The exact method OF
limitation will be left entirely in the
hands of the Japanese government.
The assurance is identical with that
given the United States.
1t is stated that the hitch arose over
the desire of the Canadian government
to secure definite promise in writing
outlining the undertakings. This was
positively declined by Japan because il
would entail a sacrific of treaty rights
Minister Lemieux also desired to secure
from the Japanese government a note
giving the exact number Of laborers
that the government proposed to allow
to emigrate to Canada. This was also
refused.

Brownson Claimed Authority Over

Washington, Dec. 27.-That seri-

But in achieving his victory he has
come into collision with two other prob
'ens.
A woman inquiries with bland suavity
whether the management, having forced
the removal Of the hats, has provided
any place to put them. There are the
veil and the hatpins as well as the hats.
So long as their removal was a volun-
| tary act of courtesy the women were
content to carry them on their laps or
| fasten them on the backs of the seats
before them. But under compulsion-

RETURN VIA SUEZ.
Pick Of Evans Ships to Make Long
Ocean Trip.

Washington, Dec. 24.-"The pro-
gram of the return of the battleship
feet is matter that has been discussed
among the officials of the Navy depart
ment, but as yet no decision has been
reached, and will not be for some time
to come" says Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf. The secretary's remark was
called out by wireless message from
the flagship Connecticut, stating that
Admiral Evans had authorized the As
sociated Press to say it is his personal
belief that the Navy departments pres
ent intention to have the battleship
fleet return by way Of the Suez canal
next summer or fall. AS the presi-
dent, through Secretary Loeb, previ-
ously had spoken TO the same effect, it
seems clear that Admiral Evans state
ment was not suggested by any definite
move so far determined upon by those
supreme in authority. In naval circles
the opinion prevails that at most only
a squadron composed of such vessels as
the voyage to the Pacific shall have
demonstrated to be "the pick Of the
fleet" will be sent through the Suez
canal, while the remainder will take
the shorter route around the Horn.

ATTACKS CONGRESS
PettlgreW Says Ii Is Owned by
Big Corporations.
CANNON BAD AS THE OTHERS
Railroads Were Aided in Stealing Rich
Lands in the West-Senator
Allison Helped.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Ex-Senator
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, whose de-
feat for reelection was one of the
things that most gratifed the late Mark
Hanna, has come out with a fierce de-
nunciation of congress as a body, in
which he personally attacks Speaker
Cannon. He declares that Mr.. Cannon
aided the railroads to steal public lands
in the West. When the charges were
brought to Mr.. Cannon's attention, he
said: "When 1 am attacked by man
of reputation and character will de-
fend myself"
Congress is owned, body and soul,
by the corporations, is Pettigrew's
opening shot. Continuing, he says:
81 was a member Of the senate for IL
years, and l do not hesitate to say that
the railroads control a majority of the
members of the senate and they own
the house.
"It was in 1898 that endeavored
to have law passed that would pre-
vent the railroads from stealing the
public lands. Finally ] secured an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
which would have operated effectually
to prevent the railroads from entering
public lands, but Allison and Cannon
were both onto their jobs.
"The bill was reported back to the
senate about O'Clock in the morning
the last day of the session and it was
passed 1 did not know until after
ward that Allison and Cannon had in
terpolated phrase Of few words,
which virtually made nugatory the in
tents and purposes of my amendment.
"This phrase was 'or any other
Claimant or pantentee.' Under this
wording the railroads were enabled to
enter the choice lands Of the West and
they lost no time in doing it.
cit was the same way with the
Union Pacific railroad bills. Hunting
ton iammed through the house bill to
have the government give up its second
mortgage, which would have given the
read millions OF dollars. He had a
clear majority in the senate and the
bill would have passed that body had
not some senators talked it to death.
eft was the same way with the rail-
road pooling bill. 1t passed the house
and would have gone through the SEN
> ate had it not been talked to death
l The senator's opposing these bills could
= have had 500, 900 apiece to quit talk
. ing, and would have been allowed to
vote any way they chose, because the
railroads had enough votes to pass the
, measure without us"

BEAUTIFYING A CITY,
American Towns as n Rule Pay Little
Attention to Shade Trees.

Attention to Shade Trees.
In the beautifying of city special
attention should be paid to shade trees
In the residence portions and in the
parks. The st. Louis lobe-Democrat
says:
In the most beautiful cities of the
world the shade trees are scarcely sec
ond to architecture in pleasing effects.
The architects and city foresters sup
plement each other, and the most de-
lightful scenes are those in which the,
efforts of both blend harmoniously.
American towns, as rule, spring up
without attention to shade trees, but
the time comes when the lack is pressed
upon public attention by comparison
with other cities that have been less
negligent. Superficially viewed, shade
trees are a minor item. But, In fact,
they are one Of the most important
branches Of municipal work. They add
to the value Of property to an extent
but little understood, though every pur-
chaser of home knows how much he
is attracted by well-shaded street. A
few well-developed shade trees on va
cant lot, with other good specimens
| along the curbs, are sure to bring along
customers willing to pay little higher
price than on a naked highway. The
general vistas Of well-planted neigh
borhood are worth still more. All large
cities are multiplying parks and boule-
wards in which trees, shrubbery and
lawns are a main consideration. Com
pare the price of property in such To-
calitles with that in other sections, out
side Of business, and a true idea Is
formed Of values and their basis.
Shade trees are property of precious
kind.
"The city shade tree should be a spe-
cial object Of care on the part of the
municipal authorities. 1t should be
guarded and protected. No person
should be allowed to hitch horse to 1t.
No candidate or other advertiser should
be permitted to tack a placard on It, or
allow it to be abused in any way. Not
only should the planting Of trees In a
city be encouraged and the trees out
side of the city along roads should be
conserved and protected for the pub
lie benefit. 1t is shocking to see fine
forest trees along the Glendale trolley
line and along the turnpikes defacet
with all sorts Of tin and paper sign,
that are tackled upon them. The tree.
should be respected for the public

DUE TO FALSE MURDER STORY
BaseIess Rumor That White Man Is
Wounded Arouses Fury of
White People.

Lethbridge, Alberta, Dec. 2s.-Be-
cause they believed that prominent
citizen had been murdered in Chinese
restaurant, 1900 men raided the ORR
entail quarter late last night and left
wreck behind. Restaurants and laun-
dries were smashed, doors and windows
and entire fronts of buildings being re-
duced to splinters. The regular police
of the town we're powerless and bri-
gade Of mounted police had to be called
out to quell the riot.
1t was just after O'Clock that the
mob began to form. The story had got
abroad that Harry Smith, one of the
best known ranchers Of the cattle dis
trict of which this city is the center,
had been fatally wounded in restau-
rant. Curiously enough, neither Smith
nor any one else had been hurt, but
even the police were misled by the tale
and two Orientals were placed under
arrest, charged with his murder.
An indignant mob gathered opposite
the eating house and there was talk of
lynching. Suddenly someone threw a
iOOhs WluuOW, r,
and in a moment the crowd was beyond
control. Bricks and stones we're used
and, when the doors had been broken,
the tables and chairs and dishes were
smashed. The Columbia and Alberta
restaurants were literally wrecked
What could not be conveniently broken
by the few men who could get inside
was passed out to the street to the mob
in waiting, and there demolished.
AT 10 O'Clock detachment of mount.
ed police appeared and the crowd
scattered. Hundreds of the rioters
merely shifted the scene of their pillag.
ing. Three blocks away, opposite the
Arlington hotel, they cleaned out an.
other Chinese restaurant and badly
handled two Orientals who were cap.
tured within.
Mayor Galbraith, who had rushed tc
the scene when the mounted police
were first called, delivered speech
asking good citizens to disperse. The
crowd listened to him and to Magistrate
Townsend, who spoke later. All posi-
BILE damage having been done, the
crowd went home.
Five OF the rioters have been arrest
ed, but it is doubtful if they will bt
prosecuted.
