RAILROAD WINS'-Ihe o. o "uF-
RENE Court has given another not
able decision. one which shows that
the President has been right In his
claim that the states are not strong
enough to regulate the railroads. The
court has decided that the laws o.
North Carolina and Minnesota which
were drawn to regulate the railroad
rates, are unconstitutional. because
Congress alone has the right to re-
gulate commerce between states.

WAR STOPPED
BY A TRUCE
CHINESE GUNFIGHTERS ARE
CALLED OFF
Members of Six Companies of San
Francisco Meet Leaders of Two
Socleties-Peace Pact Includes
All Pacific Coast
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ga
truce has been signed between
the opposing elements in the Chinese
tong war, which affects the entire Pa
cific coast. The present treaty is only
temporary, however, and expires on
February 10.
The local Chinese consul and repre-
sentatives of the Chinese Six Com
panies in this city, who made an un-
successful expedition to San Jose and
Sacramento last week in an attempt
to put All end o the strife, got to-
gether with the head men of the two
warning tongs the Hop Sings and the
Bing Kongs, and threatened to expose
the gun fighters among them to the
police, and to drive them out of the
country and make them known
throughout, China unless treaty of
peace was signed at once.
A truce, which takes in all of the
Pacific coast, was thereupon drawn up
and signed today by leaders of the two
tongs, and word has gone out to all
of the fighting men to desist.
1t Is expected that before this treaty
is over a new treaty, which will be
lasting,A will be framed and signed by
the tong leaders.
Fong Poy, the Chinese shot in this
city last night by one of the high
binders, died today. During the last
three weeks there have been five cases
of murder and attempted murder by
highbinders in California cities, all
due to the present outbreak.

ODELL AIDS
HUGHES AND
HARTMAN
FORMER GOVERNOR FIGHTS
ROOSEVELT
Believed to Be instrument of Railroad
Maenate in Keeping State Dele-
cations Out of Presi-
dents Hands

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-That BenJa-
min B. Odell, former governor OF New
York, is Harriman's instrument In ad-
vancing the candidacy Of Hughes ana
endeavoring to down President Roose-
welt and his organization, is the pc
lief of shrewd politicians in this city.
1t Is said that it was Hartman who
ordered Odell to get into the fight for
Hughes at the meeting of the New
York county committee. Thus one or
the undesirable citizens" is trying to
get even with the president who put
the brand on him.
Speaking of Odell and his plans a
leading Republican said:
"There Is no more adroit pontlclah
in the state of New York than Ben1a-
min r. Odell 1r. He was governor. He
became boss. He deposed old Senator
PIatt. For a time he ruled the Repup-
lican party of the Empire state with
an iron hand. e. H. Hartman was all
ways back of him. Hartman and
Odell are fast friends. In the quarrel
between President Roosevelt and Har-
riman Odell took the side of the rail-
way magnate. Like all good poh-
ticians he stands by his friends. GOOD
politicians always have some merltorl-
Gus characteristics. Few men are
either as good or as bad as they are
painted. Odell is a mixture or good
and bad. But treachery and ingrati-
tude are not among his weaknesses
Hartman has stood by him and he
stood by Hartman. Hartman had
been his financial hacker, had made
money for him. He stood with Har-
riman against the president.
Already there was coolness pc
tween the president and Odell. The
Hartman episode made it frost. The
president threw his great power
against OdeH. He was largely re-
sponsible for the downfall of the boss.
OdeIl retired somewhat discredited,
and Roosevelt became the real leader
of the party in the state. But Odell
did not lose all of his power.
During his reign as boss he had
devoted much attention to the build
ing up of a Republican organization
in this city. He created here the best
machine that party has ever had.
When he fell he lost control OF the
greater part of 1t. and Representative
Parsons, the presidents friend, be-
came the county leader. Odell re-
tained paramount influence In some
of the districts. For some time he has
been a sick man, confined to his home
at Newburg. But his lieutenants have
maintained the organization for him
in those districts which remained loyal
TO the old leader.

Italian Steamer Limps Into New
York, Bringing Six Survivors
of Wrecked Oil
Barge

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Fears that an
unknown three -masted schooner and
her crew have been lost in the storm
off the Delaware capes are expressed
by officials of the steamer Mannahatta,
which limped into the harbor from Bal
timore today.
The schooner was seen struggling in
the trough of the sea off the Delaware
capes, and when the Mannahatta, which
had been blown off her course, neared
the locality where the schooner was
last sighted, riding out the storm, many
pieces of a wrecked vessel and quanti-
ties of railroad ties were seen floating
in the water.
The Italian steamer San Giovanni
reached here today with Captain H. N.
Morse and the crew of five of the oil
barge Matanzas, which, with two other
barges, the Fall River and the Grafton,
in tow of the tug Concord from Boston,
broke adrift during the storm and for
hours was at the mercy of the waves.
which wrenched off the rudder and
opened her seams. The Matanzas was
filling rapidly when the Italian mer-
chairman hove in sight and rescued
Captain Morse and his crew. The
barges Fall River and Grafton are rtill
missing.
The battered superstructures of
transatlantic liners arriving today were
mute evidence of the assaults of the
raging seas encountered during the
storm, while incoming vessels in the
coastwise and lesser trades all reported
incessant battles with the waves.
