DEsTITUTE INDIANS APPEAL "a
TO GOVERNMENT

UNITED Press Leased wire.)
San Bernardino, CAL, Aug. I'll
Captain J. Cabazon of the Salton
Basin Indian Reservation is here to-
day framing an appeal to the gov
ernment authorities at Washington
to help his tribesmen who have been
made destitute by the encroachment
of the waters of the salton sea ON
their property.
The Indians of the Salton sink
have been homeless for months, says
Chief Cabazon, and he thinks that
the government should take meas
ures to protect them or aid them to
find new lands.
Little fishes swim through the
branches of the fig trees" said Chief
Cabazon, "and the waters rush over
the places where we and our ances-
tors have slumbered for generations.
We believe that by telling the gov
ernment, our losses will be adjusted
and we will not lose our lands"

COTTON KING
LOSES MILLION


tUnited Press Leased wire.)
New York, Aug. 21.-Jessie L.
Livermore. the newly risen cotton
king who engineered the corner In
the market that netted him several
millions a few weeks ago is today
loser by nearly a million dollars as
the result OF decline OF SO a bale
In the cotton market yesterday. Llv.
ermore's friends today say that he
had prepared himself and will not
suner much although they admit
that his losses will amount 20 over
5000. 900.
The scenes in the cotton exchange
yesterday when the panic broke
were exciting. The bears started the
stampede when IL was rumored that
several Liverpool mills would shin,
down because OF depression IN the
cotton business. Reports that the
draught IN the cotton market hal
ended with abundant rains helped
the bear movement.
The roit was only stemmed late
In the afternoon by the covering of
shorts. The total transactions we're
over 100000 bales more than half
OF which amount was sold hy the I
Liverpool faction.

The Railroads side of the Ca

The Railroads Side of the Cage
Freight rates are lower in this
country than in any other and the
service here is mitch better than In
any other region on earth.
The capitalization of the railroads
in the United States Is lower than
in any other country. The average
Is about $4,000 per mile in stocks
and bonds. In France the average
is about $4,000; in Germany,
about $4,000; in England, about
$4,000 per mile. and one English
road is capitalized at 100000 per
mile. on which 1t pays per cent
dividends.
On these high values the French
railways pay 4.3 per cent, the Eng
llsh per cent and the German 6.1
per cent.
A reduction in freight rates below
a fair return to the railroads does
not help any one. None are benefited
by low prices, but all are helped
by fair prices, which yield n profit
to every one. This is true of gen.
eral business, and Il is certainly true
of the railroad business
All roads have in the last ten
years, and for many years previous.
spent millions OF dollars from earn
ings to improve their properties and
TO maintain them in good condition.
These expenditures in many In
stances have not been capitalized,
but have been charged of.
But, aside from the history of the
railroads, we are faced by a con-
dition and not by the past. We want
facts. not words. This country
grows continually. II is constantly
expanding In all directions. This
expansion Is diminished or increased,
but It moves and II never stops.
What we all desire Is prosperity |
We cannot be prosperous II any
large interest among our people is
and depressed.
The proposed increase In freight !
rates Will not change any distribut-
Ing center, will make no difference
In any line OF business TO the people
engaged In II. II practically makes
no difference whether the freight
rate on steel from Plttsburg to Chi
ago IS is cents per 100 pounds,
provided every user pays the same
ate. But IL makes an enormous
Inference, not only 10 the steel in
crest, but TO business generally, ifl
here Is noiy a demand for so per

Unique Surgery Saves an Ear.

PHILADELPHIA, September f6-One
of the most unique surgical operations
in the history of the Presbyterian Hos
pital, performed last week by Dr.
Franklin HILL when he replaced the ear
of a man which was hanging only by a
thread of skin, has resulted in assured
success. Daniel Mccartney Phi1adel-
piia Rapid Tranit Company car inspec-
tor, who was injured in Il trolley smash
UP in the Lancaster avenue car barn,
is the man whose ear has been saved.
Only a scar. the doctors say, will mark
the line where his ear was practically
cut off.
The accident in which McCIrty was
injured took place while the inspector
was examining the bottom OF a car in
the pit in the. Lancaster avenue barn.
in which a man was imprisoned when
the roof of the car barn fell in two
weeks ago.
A car ran off the track. and a piece of
metal scraped McCarty's head and all
most severed his ear.
When the doctors saw his injuries il
was thought at first that an attempt to
save his ear would be useless. Dr. HILL
however. volunteered to perform the
operation and make the attempt to save
the organ after McCarty had asked that
If there was the slightest chance that
the operation might prove successful it
should be attempted.
Ten stitches were taken in McCarty'S
head and the ear bound fast to the
head by bandages. For three days, Dr.
Hill said. the ear refused to heal and
showed signs of fostering. Had this
begun 1t would have been necessary to
amputate the ear. On the fourth day
after the operation the fostering sub
sided and the ear commenced to grow
fast to the head again. and since that
time its progress toward healing is con-
sidered remarkable.

consider my challenge If am willing to
construct challenger according to that

ton.
"Since 1 have but five weeks in which
to challenge and begin to build q racer
if accepted, I am hoping hourly to re-
ceive an intimation from some respon-
sble member of the New York Yacht
Club that formal challenge will not
be in vain.
II don't ask for official assurance that
the challenge will be accepted before
making 1t; want only the slightest hint.
There is no use challenging only to be
rejected again. This is unpleasant for
both sides.
II don't mind saying that. at present.
l have greater confidence than ever Of
winning if / get another chance. / can
not make a blind challenge which. would
involve out-and-out construction under

stantly to shock. Spreading his papers
on the table, he began with little
apology.
Il didn't come here this morning pre-
pared to make promoters speech. and
perhaps Ii is just as well, since my gin.
if have one. lies in doing things rather
than in talking about them But 1 can
lay a few facts before you which YOU
may deem worthy of consideration
From this as a beginning he went on
swiftly and ncisively. The Pacific South
western. in it's present condition. was a
failure. 1t was an incomplete line. trying
vainly tn hold its own against great and
powerful systems overlapping Ii at either
end. The remedy lay in extension. The
acquisition of a controlling interest in
three short roads. which. pieced together.
would bridge the gap between the Mis-
souri, river and Chicago, would place the
Pacific Southwestern upon an equal foot
ing with it's competitors as a grain car
rier. BY standardizing the Plug Noun
tain narrow gauge and extending 1t 10
Salt Lake and beyond. the line would Sc
cure western outlet. and would be in
position to demand its share of trans
continental business.
To finance these two extensions a cap
ital of thirty-fve million dollars would be
needed: five million dollars for the pur-
chase of the majority stock In the three
short roads and the remainder for the
western outlet. These assertions were not
guesses; by referring to exhibits marked
"a ''b'' and 81 his hearers would find
accurate estimates of cost. not only OF
construction, but also of stock purchases.
As to the manner of providing the cap
ital. he had only suggestion to offer.
The five million dollars necessary for the
requirement of a controlling interest in
the three short roads would be a fair in
vestment 1t could be covered imme
diately by a reissue-share for share-of
the reorganization stock of the p. S.W.,
which would amply secure the investors.
since the stock Of the most prosperous OF
the three local roads was listed at twenty
eight. ten points lower than the present
market quotation of p. S.W,
The million-dollar extension fund
might be raised by issuing second mort
gage bonds upon the entire system, or
the new line itself could be bonded mile
for mile under a separate charter. Ford
modestly dfsclaimed any intention of die
tating the financial policy; this was not
in his line. But again he would submit
facts. The grain crop In the west was
phenomenally large In prospect. With Its
own eastern terminal in Chicago the Pa
cific Southwestern could control the grain
shipments in it's own territory. With the
moving of the grain the depressed p. S.W.
stock would inevitably recover, and on a
rising market the new issue of bonds
could doubtless be floated.
(To be continued tomorrow
