year been enacted by congress and by
the legislatures of eight states For
telegraphers Wisconsin limits the con-
secutive hours of service to eight,
West Virginia to from eight to twelve,
and the federal law to nine for day

per week. for day stations. Says the
Age:
The necessity of providing addi-
donal operators, which is now inn
posed by reason of these statutory
limitations as to permissible hours of
labor for telegraphers. presents seri-
Gus problem for railway officials in
charge of operation. and in seeking
solution the telephone viii undoubt-
edly receive very serious considera-
ton Several systems, including the
New York Central. the Pennsylvania,
and the Union Pacific, have estab-
dshed schools of telegraphy in order
to educate operators. Other roads
have had recourse to the telephone as
an auxiliary, and the Pennsylvania and
New York Central as well have made
experimental installations. The prac-
ucability OF utilizing telephony in
uain-dispatching has greatly increased
by the development of the telegra-
phone system, which, by providing Sc
lective devices in connection with the
telephones and the Morse instruments.
permits the use of one circuit for the
simultaneous communication of tele-
graphic and telephone messages. The
Southern Pacific system has now on
the Sacramento division 25 station
telegraphones: these are at points
from so to 20 miles apart, and from
the stations so equipped communica-
ton may be had with intermediate
stations by telephone. Also train
crews may communicate with the OPP
orators at telegraphone stations by
connecting telephone instruments car

advantages in permitting the employ
ment at intermediate stations of sta
ton agents who are not telegraph op-
orators are apparent, and the system,
which has been in operation for about
Is months, has been found to work
satisfactorily in every way One dis
advantage sometimes urged against
telephony as q means of directing
train operation, namely, that a very

SUPERVISORS SCORED
By TIE PARK BOARD
At Meeting Last Night
Took Away Sole
Income

There is promised to be a gorgeous
roast coming to the Board of Super
visors of Oahu on account of their
action in taking away the appropria-
tion to the Park Commission. In the
past the Park Commission has been
allowed 500 month by the County
towards keeping up KapiOlani Park,
and the new seaside park This has
proven inadequate, and the bills for
the maintenance of the places have
overrun the allowance until at the
present time $11OO is owed.
The Supervisors were asked to pay
this amount some time ago, and
they refused on the grounds that the
bills were contracted without the
proper authority, or without con-
sulting the Board. The Park Com
mission then decided to pay the bill
on the installmcnt plan by taking
lout so much OF their 800 each
month and devoting It to the settle
mCnt of the back bills. Now the
Board of Supervisors by their action
last night, has deprived the Park
Commission of its sole income OF
money for expenditure, the bills must
stand for the present time, and all
work on the parks above named must
stop.
"Why, II is preposterous. said a
prominent member of the Park Com
mission this morning" These fell
lows are always talking about keep
ing the city in clean condition.
Those parks are the ones that need
attention above all others in the city,
| for they are the important ones
where the people flock to spend their
! holidays. The money given by the
County has always been the sole
source of income for the maintenance
of the parks, and now that this has
been cut off is its entirety, all work
on the parks must be stopped. Tho

An Unfair Attack

A fayorite criticism of the Su-
preme Court of Colorado by the
Democracy is that it assumed jur-
isdiction over election matters at a
critical time for the purpose of pre-
venting the contamination of frauds.
The quarrel of the Democratic
party is with the result and not
with the precautionary measures
adopted This must be true, for
the first application ever made to
the Supreme Court, asking it to
assume original jurisdiction in an
election case was in the county of
Las Animas, and made by Milton
Smith, chairman of the Democratic
state central committee. Senator
Patterson appeared before the
court and argued that it should as
sumo jurisdiction.
Sometimes the public memory is
short. but public records endure
forever.

The new banking law now in

result the banks doing business in
Colorado will. so far as supervision
can make them, of necessity be

BLACK PAPER, WHITE INK.
Novel Proposition Of Wisconsin Print
Paper Makers.

Appleton, Wis, May S.-If a PROPOSE
ton put forth Thursday by Wisconsin
print paper manufacturers is taken
as seriously by eastern manufacturers
and by the publishers Of the country
as it is here, Americans in the near
future will be reading black newspa-
pers printed with white ink.
The chief points advanced for this
revolutionary proposition are the pres
ervation of forests, the saving Of mil
lions of dollars annually in pulp wood
and the reduction in price of print pa
per to perhaps one-half the present
price. Black paper can be made of
old and used newspapers, and, in fact,
almost any fibrous stock, while white
paper requires spruce, or hemlock.
The proposition will be brought to the
attention Of eastern print manufacture
ers and the publishers at the close of
the congressional investigation in
Washington.

Large Sums to Give to specu.
lators-All Is Lost.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 8.-William
Montgomery, cashier of the Allegheny
National bank. and known to thou
sands of Pittsburg business men and
politicians as BILLY" Montgomery, and
once Quay's financial man in this city,
was arrested Thursday charged with
embezzling a large sum of money from
the bank. 1t is said by some that he
made away with $469,000 of the banks
funds. Others charge that the figures
will reach close to $1,000, 900. He was
released on a $4,000 bond.
Montgomery admitted he had taken
a large SUM of money from the bank,
and declared he did not have a penny
of it left. All, he said, with his own
fortune, estimated at $4,000 is
gone. Montgomery claims he advanced
large sums to spectators without the
knowledge of the other officials of the
bank.
When he demanded the return Of
the money, he said, the spectators,
caught by hard times, were unable to
return it. Who the spectators are
Montgomery would not say.
Montgomery had been with the AL
legheny National ever since he was a
boy. For almost 20 years he has been
cashier. For a quarter of a century
the bank has been the headquarters of
Allegheny county Republicans, and
while serving as cashier Montgomery
became intimately acquainted with the
late Senator Quay.

TORNADO CLAIMS LIVES.
Three Persons Dead and Several In
jured in the South.

Memphis, Tenn, May 7.-Three per-
sons dead, several others injured, con-
siderable property loss and a democrat
ization Of traffic resulted from the
storm of wind and rain which swept
over southern Arkansas, western Ten
nessee and Mississippi. The wind,
which attained almost the proportions
of a tornado, razed a number of small
buildings and tangled telegraph and
telephone wires, while the rain, which
was the heaviest reported in years,
caused numerous wash-outs along the
lines of the different railroads, delay
ing traffic besides causing other
damage. The greatest damage and
the loss of life occurred in Arkansas.
At Marche, the Polish settlement was
badly damaged and John Lukasse-
Wicz and an unidentified man were
killed, V~enceslaus S~czczepaiank sus-
tanned injuries which will probably re-
suit fatally, and several other persons
were less seriously injured.
