Railroad having anything to do with the
operation Of trains will not be permitted
to use intoxicants at any time hereafter,

notice to this effect was Issued last week
by Third Vice President George L. Pot
ter, whois at the head of the operating de.
partment. Mr.. Potter states that under
no circumstances will exceptions be made.
II is believed that this is an important
step in the effort to reduce accidents te
the minimum. TIE object Of this action
is expressed in the first paragraph of the
circular, which reads: "For the protection
of life and property and good service, the
rigid enforcement is Imperative

hibited its trainmen from using intoxi
cants while on duty, and has done what
it could to discourage its use by the mer

Claims of less than $1,000 are to be

year notes to the amount of the nearest
multiple of $4,000 that is not in excess
of the claim, the balance being paid in
cash.
It is further agreed that the company
pay no dividend to stockholders until
provision has been made for the pay
ment of all of the notes Outstan ling.
There are about 500 creditors with

THIRTY DAYS AND $40 FINE
Two Strike Breakers at Goldfield
Found Guilty of Carrying Con
cealed Weapons.
Especial to The Herald

GOldfield, New, Jan. 3.-Justice of the
Peace Henley today inflicted heavy
Penalties on William Hedden and Paul
Smith, strike breakers, for carrying
concealed weapons. Both were SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40 and costs
and serve thirty days in the county
Jail. The men were defended by Harry
Bryant, attorney for the Mine OnWers'
association, and Will Erb, secretary OF
the same organization. The attorneys
filed a motion for an appeal, and gave
bonds of 500 in each case, which were
furnished by Erb and ]. F. Douglass,
prominent mine owner and former dis
trict attorney.
Sheriff Ingalls, today sent fourteen
prisoners to Hawthorne, the former
county seat, in order to relieve the
congestion in the Jail Among the
number were Ralph Cripple, burglary;
P. j. Maher forgery; L. H. Johnson,
assault to murder: John Foley, burg
larry; Sid Holloway, grand larceny; c.
Hartman, assault; Jack Stoner, assault
with deadly weapons; John Whalen,
forgery. The rest of the prisoners are
men who, though charged with petty
offenses. were considered to be unde-
sirable citizens, the sheriff wishing to
have them discharged from their short
Jail sentences at a conside rable dis
lance from Goldfield that they might
not return.

JAPS EXPECTED
TO TAKE ACTION
Exclusion Law Unnecessary if
the Migration of Coolies
Is Stopped.

Washington, Jan. Further infor-
nation relative to the contents of the
communication from Ambassador
O'Brien dealing with the japanese rely
on the immigration question. was re-
fused at the state department today.
This is the inyariable rule in cases
where negotiations are still in prog
ress. and the inference is that General
O'Brien regards the Japanese answer
as evincing d satisfactory disposition
toward American desires, but that the
reply is not conclusive.
1t is expected that the Japanese gov
eminent will in some formal manner
register its purpose of preventing the
further migration of coolies to the
United States, and when the assurance
on this point has taken satisfactory
form the administration viii see to it
that congress is acquainted with the
facts and thereby relieved from II
necessity of enacting any legislation
looking TO the exclusion of Japanese
immj grafton as a whole. Attempts in
that direction already have been made
by the Pacific coast representatives.
and if the president is able to convince
congress that the Japanese gOvNnment
is in good faith endeavOring to- do by
internal regulation what it is proposed
to do here by statutory law, namely,
stop the influx of Japanese coolies, he
will not find it necessary to veto any
such legislation.

MARTYR MADE OF
EDITOR HARDEN
German Journalist Sentenced
to Four Months in Prison for
LibeIling Won Moltke.

Berlin, Jan. 3.-MaXimilian Harden,
editor of Di Zukunft. was today SEN
fenced to four months Imprisonment
on the charge of Iibelling Count Kuno
Won Moltke.
Harden appeared in court attended
by his physician. He spoke in his own
defense. His first impressions concern
ing Prince Zu Eulenburg and the per-
sons attached to the princes interest
at court had been gained, he said, from
the late Prince Won bismarck and
members of his household. These i'm
pressions had been supplemented by
conversations with Mrs. Won Elbe, the
divorced wife of Count Won Moltke;
Professor SchweningeT, who was Bis
marck's physician, and others. Harden
said he assumed full responsibility for
what he had written. but not for the
interpretations given by other people
to his articles. He had refrained from
publishing things he had heard against
Won Moltke until Won Moltke reached
person in the encourage of the en-
peror where his influence might be in
furious to the fatherland. Then he en-
deavored to remove this bad influence.
Said he:
Il never meant to libel the count. If,
however, this tribunal considers
should be punished ] am prepared to
undergo Imprisonment. but it will be
with the conviction that l do not de-
serve it
