LAFAYETTE, Ind, May 2.-Presi-
dent Winthrop Ellsworth Stone of Pur-
due university confirmed last night a
report that his wife had withdrawn
from the world and deserted her nus
band and family to pursue a mystic
teaching supposed to be imported from
India.
Mr.. Stone and his two sons are
heartbroken and would eagerly well
come her back, but are unable to reach
her.
The circumstances were laid by
President Stone before the board OF
trustees of the university with MS
resignation, but the board has voted
TO retain President Stone in the Of
fetal position which he has held with
conspicuous success since 1900.
Three years ago there was organized
in Lafayette a class in Yoga philoso-

became quite the fad with certain

RAILROADS RAISE
FREIGHT RATES
CHARGES FOR HAULING. MEAT
INCREASED
CONSUMER WILL PAY DEAR FOR
HIS BEEF
Carrying Corporations Throughout the
Country Are Planning to ADJ
vance Tariffs on All
Foodstuffs
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press
| WASHINGTON, May At appears
likely that the anticipated increase in
railroad freight rates is about to be
made. A few days ago member of
the interstate commerce commission
expressed the opinion that within three
or four months, unless a decided I'M
provement in railroad conditions should
take place. it probably would be neces-
sary for the carriers either to increase
freight rates or to reduce the wages of
their employees.
Sooner than was expected action look
ing to an increase in freight rates has
been taken. The railways of the south
eastern territory have filed with the in
tenstate commerce commission tariffs
effective June l, increasing their freight
rates on fresh meats materially.
The proposed rates will affect all
fresh meats shipped into the southeast
ern territory from the north and west.
The new rates will take effect at Ohio
river and Mississippi river crossings,
including Memphis, Tenn, and will be
effective into all parts of what is known
as the Carolina territory-that is, the
section of, the country west of Ashe-
vile, N. c., and south of Danville, Va.
The increase will amount to from 3
cents to 10 cents a hundred pounds on
all fresh meats. 1t is the first material
raise in the rates of foodstuffs made by
the railroads of the country for good
many years.
1t will mean much to the consumers.
as it will probably result in an increase
of approximately l cent pound on
low grades of meat and perhaps as
much as cents a pound on the select
cuts.
While the increase to the consumer in
Al. hxy Ia
rates is noticeable, It is likely that 1t is
intended as feeler of public sentiment
with a view to making general raise
in rates on all commodities.

The first squadron, including the
Connecticut, Kansas, Vermont, Louis

after dawn and sailed away to Santa
Cruz.
The eight vessels of the second
squadron will remain here until Mon
day afternoon, when they also will go
to Santa Cruz to stop twenty-four
hours and make the fleet once more
complete.
Today has been rather quiet. but
enjoyable, one for the men and officers
of the second squadron. For the for
mer there were boxing bouts, baseball
games and boat races.
Large liberty parties came ashore
and enjoyed roaming about the streets
of the quaint old town. A large party
of officers was taken on the famous
seventeen drive as the guests OF
Mayor Jacks, and later they were en-
tertained at a reception and tea at the
mayors home. Tonight a naval and

Social Affair Brilliant
The large lallroom of the hotel prov

dining room was transformed into a
bower of bunting and flags. The affair
was the largest of it's kind ever held
here. Two hundred or more San Fran

The engineer officers on the battle

over the record made by that ship on
the long run from Santa Barbara to
Monterey.
The Missouri blew out the high pres

Great Building in Which Sessions viii

Special to The Herald
DENVER, Colo, May 2.-Denver
citizens have reputation all over the
United States as being the most alert
for the promotion of their city. Num-
bers Of representatives have come from
various sections of>the country to learn
how the work of city building is done.
The visitors complain that the expert
ence of other cities is that whenever
a public movement is started the forces
behind it divide into factions and the
result is a speedy conflict among the
various interests and early disorgan-
ization of the movement.
Scores of officials who have come
from other cities to learn "the Denver
way go back satisfied that citizens
here have found the only true remedy
for partisan pickering and petty rival
ries among those who work for the
city's good. The Denver method is,
expressed briefly, keep something go
ing all the time" Then nobody has
time to complain, criticise or protest
against the work of his neighbor un-
til the thing Is accomplished and what
ever criticism comes then is too late
to deprive the city of the fruit of the
ell-directed effort.
Denver has chamber of commerce
that believes, above all things, in get
ting results All her municipal affairs
are arranged so that the city will get
the most for the dollars 1t spends and
it makes no difference what mans
politics are If he "nakes good" The
president of the chamber of commerce
Is expected to do ss full days work.
The secretary is required to match
this and also keep a force of employees
up to their eyes in detail work that he
cannot take time for himself. Thous-
ands of letters are written every week,
thousands of visitors are shown the
good points of the city, thousands of
citizens are reminded of the work of
their regular business hours-1n short
the chamber of commerce in Denver
keeps the enterprise of the city at
fever heat all the time. The day is
considered poorly spent that does not
see some new idea born for the better
ment of Denver or some good work
accomplished for the greater fame of
the city.
As an illustration of the way the
work is divided up the busy enter
prise that is now going on is In point.

naring for the reception of delegates
and visitors to the Democratic national
convention. They are securing the

PUBLISHERS PROVE THE TARIFF
SHOULD BE REDUCED
Excuse Given by Monopoly That Cost

False
by Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON May 2.--According
to figures submitted today by John
Norris, representing the American
Newspaper Publishers association, to
the select committee of the house on
wood pulp and print paper investiga-
tion regarding the increased labor-cost
per ton of paper produced, the increase
amounted to but 50 cents ton. In
spite of statements of the paper men
to the contrary. he said, his calculation
was correct, and yet he charged that
the papermakers had put on an In
creased price of $12 a ton, alleging that
the increase was due to the higher cost
of labor.
In the case of the Hudson river mill,
Mr.. Norris presented data showing that
even though the mill changed from a
two to a three-ton basis" the cost OF
production of paper actually had been
reduced to s1.13 per ton. 1t was, ne
sonal knowledge.
Mr.. Norris, replying to questions by
Mr.. Mann, gave evidence showing that
the average wage of union paper
workers In the state of New York for
the third quarter of 1906 was $1O.94 per
week. which, he said, was very low.
Answering Messrs, Ryan and Bannon,
the witness said his wage calculations
had reference to union helpers, work
ers and skilled laborers, exclusive OF
women and children.
In the state of Massachusetts, he said,
the average weekly wage for 1905 was
1920, and that this figure took into ac-
count employees of all classes.
Refutes Claims
In further refutation OF the claim OF
the paper manufacturers regarding the
hirh cost of labor. Mr.. Norris read from
reports OF the United States bureau of
labor since 1t appeared there was a de-
crease In the wages of paper workers
In 1906, as compared with 1905, and that
paper working was the only Industry
that was decreased.
AS showing the slight increase that
had taker. place in the wages OF paper
workers, Mr.. Norris offered statistics
for the year 1901. which fixed the paper
production at 2,7S2,219 tons, at an aver
age cost of 81. As per week. In 1905, he
said the 65,964 paper workers in the
United states received an average wage
of $9.32 per week.
Some peopie say that protection IN
creases the wages of working people OF
the limited States" remarked Mr.. Ryan,
one of the Democratic members OF the
committee, but MIR. Norris would not
permit himself to be drawn into a dis
cussion of that question.
Further disputing the claims of the
naper makers as to the wages paid, Mr..
Norris presented in evidence official
statistics regarding the printing and
binding group, which he said were re-
ceiving rs per cent more wages than
was being paid to the paper workers.
At this juncture adjournment was
taken until Monday morning.

ROME. May 2.-One of the greatest
difficulties in The marriage between the
Prince de Sagan and Madam Anna
Gould is the fact that the Catholic
church, not recognizing divorce, has
refused to annul Madam Gould's first
marriage.
The prince is determined to marry
Nine. Gould, and to this end he has
decided to become Protestant, as this
will enable the couple to be united by
both a civil and a religious ceremony.
If the prince remained a Catholic
there could be no religious ceremony,
