FIRST OF GREAT SYSTEM
Pennsylvania Tunnel Under Hudson
and East Rivers Completed.

New York, Feb. 22.-The first of the
great system of tunnels and subways
by which the Pennsylvania railroad
will be enabled to run train from
Philadelphia under the HGdson river.
across Manhattan island and under
the East river to Long Island City has
been completed. The two ends of one
of the four tubes connecting Manhat-
tan island with Long Island City were
brought together under the bed of the
middle of the East river off Thirty
fourth street and the steel rings COM
posing the shell of the tubes were for
the first time bolted in enc continn
Gus string from shore to shore.

months, according to an announce

Proposal to Retain Control of Relin-
quished indemnify

Washington, Feb. 22.-The PROPOSE
tion to retain control of the disposi-
tion of she $f4,000,oO0 of relinquished
Chinese indemnity and have it used
in the erection of American colleges
in China and in bringing Chinese stu
dents to the United States to COM
plete their education has been brought
to the attention of President Roose-
welt and the state department by
William T. Ellis of Philadelphia, who
has recently returned from the Ori-
ent. The plan is not original with
Mr.. Ellis, but has been considered as
an excellent idea for some time by
the state department
How any such plan can be worked
out, especially in view of the action
already taken, which commits the ex-
ecutive branch of the government to
its offer to relinquish to China the
surplus indemnity, is the puzzling
question. To make the offer of the
executive effective requires the sane
tion Of congress and unless this body
attaches a string to the offer, as in
dicated, nothing can be done. The
senate has practically given its con-
sent to the presidents offer and the
matter is now pending in the house
committee on foreign affairs

while at the present reduced rate of
$40, which has to be met by hundreds
under present conditions, that expense
will increase to at least 20 per cent
of earnings because they are held
away from the home terminal until
there is a full tonnage train to be
handled, making a total automatic re-
duction already In wages from so to
70 per cent.
''The roads are getting the same re-
turn in freight receipts for the serv-
ice rendered as they did when the
business was good and there is no
consistency in asking men to accept
further reductions than result from
the present business shrinkage and
the full power sof the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers will be used, if
necessary, in an effort to prevent any
reduction, because it would be abso
lutely unjust"

Bloomington, ILL.,, Feb 22-His
tongue paIsied SO as to prevent his
telling attendants the location of his
wealth Benjamin Scull, an eccentric
citizen of Warren county, went to his
grave this week and no one knows
the secret
Scull is believed to have left for

days before his death and when he
realized for the first time, apparently,
that his time had come he frantically

ABSOLUTELY UNJUST.
Locomotive Engineers Will Fight
Reduction in Wages.
HEAD OF THE ORDER TALKS
Declares Members of the Orpaniza-
ton Have Already Experienced an
Automatic Cut in Wages of From
Sixty to Seventy Per Cent.

Cleveland, Feb. 22.-Warren s.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, has made
the following statement in connection
with the reported purpose of some
railway companies to order a general
reduction in the wages of employees:
The threatened reduction of the
wages of employees in train service is
absolutely unjustif1ed from any point
of view. Their pay is based on mile
age basis, practically piece work, and
they are only paid when there are
services to be performed. Wages of
employees in train service fall parallel
with the shrinkage in business, plus
increased living expenses away from
home. When the earnings are $3.50
per month their expense of living
away from home is about is per cent,
