WRECKERS ATTEMPT TO
DITCH SANTA FE
FAST MAIL
Place Obstruction and Tear
Up Rail. But Choose Wrong
Track BY Mistake.
TRAIN CARRIES TWO
CAR LOADS OF SOLDIERS

Joliet, ILL.,, Feb. 1O.-What Is be-
lieved to have been a deliberate plot
10 wreck the Santa Fe fast mail train
between Chicago and Kansas City yes
terday was discovered by the wreck
OF a freight train which ran into OBJ
s'ructions on the track, thought to
have been Intended for the fast mail,
but tiCh, through mistake had been
Paced on the eastbound instead of
ths WestboUud track.
The fast mail carried two carloads
of United States soldiers and 1t is
thought the persons who tried to
wreck the train did so with the in
tention of killing and manning the
soldiers.
They placed a pile OF ties on the
track used by eastbound trains on the
bridge over Small creek, a mile north
Of Lockport, and evidently tried to
pry up one OF the rails. A freight
train ran into the obstruction and
the front end engine was wrecked.
But for the fact that would-be wreck
crs made a mistake in choosing the
track it is probable the mail train,
running at a fast speed, would have
been thrown into the creek ana a
large loss of life resulted.

ROOSEVELT HAS THIRTY
DAYS TO SETTLE
QUESTION
Japanese Exclusion Leaders
viii Urge Early Settlement
of VeXdtiOuS Problem,
THE PACIFIC COAST
DELEGATION UNITED

Washington, Feb. 10.-Unless Pres
treaty barring japanese coolies with
in thirty days, japanese exclusion
leaders will go ahead and test the
sentiment of Congress on an out-and-
out exclusion law.
There Is a definite understanding
among the members Of the Pacific
coast delegation to this effect. Early
in February Representatives Hayes
and Kahn will again go to the White
House in the interests of an exclu-
sion law.
They will point out to the president
that unless the immigration question
is settled before the adjournment of
Congress the success of the Repub-
lican ticket at the coming election
will be in jeopardy. They will refer
to the intention of the Democratic
leaders to insert an exclusion plank
in their platform, and will recall the
fact that the Chinese exclusion bill
was introduced by a Democrat and
became law during a Democratic
administration.
As to the danger of an exclusion
law causing war, neither Hayes nor
Kahn take any stock whatever in the
idea. They say Japan is oluffng and
could not be drawn into war under
any conditions
The japanese exclusion bill Is the
one issue the Pacific coast delegation
is united on. The delegation held a
session recently, and decided on a
systematic campaign in the interests
of exclusion, which will be close to
the lines indicated above unless there
should be some unexpected develop
ment in the negotiations now pending
directly between the president and
the japanese government

of the leading manufacturers of
Cleveland and northern Ohio show
strong optimistic feeling as to busi-
ness conditions and indicate that Gp-
erations of all principal manufactur-
ers will be resumed on an extensive
scale within the next few weeks.
A statement from an officer of the
American Steel & Wire company says
that the company is now employing
between 1000 and 5000 men in the
various plants owned by the company
in this city. A large number of these
men have been on half time since the
beginning of the financial depression

CANADIANS PROSECUTE
UNITED STATES OFFICER
1Fy Him on Charge of kidnapping
Prl-Oncr-May GO to the
Pcnitcntiary.
wsVEl

Emerson, Mich. Feb. 1O.-George
Foulke. special agent of the United
States treasury department, was
placed on trial here today on the
charge Of kidnapping \. Z. Tollon, De-
cember 81. 1907. The case may lead
20 international questions.
Foulke, charging Tollon with snug
Cling, captured him right on the bor-
der between the United states and
Canada. With Ieveled gun ne led
Tollon 10 a Justices court and had
him arraigned. Tollon and the Ca
madam authorities have contended
that the prisoner at the time OF cap
ture was a few feet on the Canadian
side.
Fouke was taken from train last
night as he was returning to the
United states from Winnipeg. He
protested in vain that his position as
AN agent of the United states govern
ment should protect him from ar
rest.
Unless the authorities at Washing
ton interfere it is quite likely that he
will go 70 the penientiary, as he tes-
umony given in the trial today Is de-
cldedly against him.
