hearing will be held tomorrow up
Il the application Of the railroads
Or temporary injunction restrain
as tHo State Railroad and Ware
house Commission from enforcing
the provisions of the new switching
law.
Nearly all the leading railroads of
his section are included in the APP
plication for an injunction. The ap-
plications were filed by stockholders
in each case because of the excessive
penalties prescribed by the new
switching rule for failure to carry
out it's provisions.
These penalties are such, it is stat
ed, as would bankrupt railroad
company should the decision of the
courts be adverse. The situation in
this respect is similar to that in the
Minnesota 2-cent rate case, where
the Supreme court declared the law
unconstitutional because of excessive
penalties which practically deprived
the railroads Of the right to appeal
to the courts.

BIG CHICAGO FORGERY.
Real Estate Dealer Confessed to OBJ
tanning Over 100000.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Peter Van
Ulissingen, a local real estate dealer
who for years has been classed
among Chicago's prosperous and rep
utable business men, today confessed
to having obtained through forged
deeds and notes more than $780,
900. A few hours after his arrest
on his own urgent appeal that he be
punished, he was sentenced to the
penetentiary. The first indictment,
confession and sentence were the
work of less than four days.
Taken in the midst of business
from his Office, Van Ulissingen ap-
peared before the court in tears and
confessed that for eighteen or twen-
ty years he had been securing money
through the sale of forged docu-
ments without detection. That at
least 25 people would lose in the ag-
gregate over 100000 through pa
pers which he had not redeemed. In
forging notes he declared that he
had a perfectly unique device. This
consisted of perfect plate glass, so
arranged that by electric light
thrown from underneath he could
readily trace from the original a
forged signature to worthless paper.

kang Yu Wei, Suspects Foul Play
to EMPEROR

Penang, Straits Settlement, Nov.
17.-Kang Yu Wei, the head of the
Chinese reform movement through
out the world, is at Penang, but con-
fined to his bed and today refused
to see interviewers on the ground
that he was prostrated with grief
over the death of the emperor. Kang
Yu was very close to the emperor
in 1898 and inspired the reform
edicts of that period. He barely
escaped with his life from Peking
when the late empress dowager be-
came aware Of the progressive in
fiuence he eXerted over the emperor.
Yu's secretary said the reform leader
suspected foul play at the palace.
So long, however, as Yuan Shi Kai,
the grand chancellor, is alive the
situation in China will be the same
as during the last reign.

Billek, the Bohemian hypnotist and
fortune teller who was convicted of
the murder of several members of
the Vrzal family, is legally dead, is
the novel plea to be made by Attor-
ney Hinckley before Judge Barnes
in an attempt to save Billek from the
gallows when the court convenes to
pronounce sentence on the "evil-eye"
prisoner tomorrow
Billek was sentenced to be hang
ed last summer. The day Of eXecu-
ton came, but the United States
court took hand in the case and
Billek was given leave to appeal to
the Supreme court of the United
States. That court found that it
had no jurisdiction and the case
came back to Judge Barnes for re-
sentence. 1t is now claimed that in
the absence Of any order rescindine
or postponing the previous sentence
of death, Billek, in legal theory, is
dead, and hence cannot be
sentenced to pay any penalty what
soever.
1t is not considered likely that this
plea will be upheld by the court and
it is highly probable that the arcn-
poisoner will again he sentenced to
be hanged by the neck until dead"
Catholic priests and sisters have been
active in attempting to prove Billek's
but while their efforts
have tended to discredit some of the
evidence adduced at the trial, it has
not been sufficient to remove Billek
rom the shadows of the gallows.

Immigration Falls on.


immigration is regarded as a true
barometer Of the times, being in
creased when business is active and
depressed when industries are slack
immigration to the United States in
1878 totaled 13S,469 and in 1907
reached the high record Of 1,2S5,349.
With such vast volume of people
flowing into the country it was nee
essary to protect the morals and the
health of the citizen that undesir-
able immigrants should be interdict-
ed. The feeble minded, insane, per-
sons guilty Of felony and immigrants
afflicted with tuberculosis or other
dangerous contagious diseases are
prohibited from landing. Importa-
tion of common laborers, or any class
of skilled labor on contract, unless
It, can be shown that there are no
unemployed men or that class in the
labor market, is also prohibited. Ev-
cry immigrant is assessed poll tax
of 81, unless he has been a resident
OF Canada, Newfoundland, Cuba or
Mexico one year. Aliens in transit
are not liable for the s4 poll tax
For September the immigration de-
clined 60.456, as compared with the
same month in 1907. During the
first nine months Of the current year
immigration fell off 752,367 as con-
trasted with the corresponding per-
iod in 1907. Last year the immigra-
ton in July totaled 97.132, August
9S,S25 and September 9S,964. This
year the records of immigration
show: July, 27,570; August, 27,-
1852, and September, 2S,238. The
great month of foreign immigration
this year was April, when 41,274
aliens arrived, against 1926 for
the like month in 1907.
The population of the nation will
not be largely augmented by immi-
&ration the current Year. The loss
of employment by decreased indus.
trial activities induced an enormous
tide of emigration, which in July
reached 28,724, exceeding the vol.
ume of immigration by 1,154. For.
eigners who worked in the steel mills
when they were discharged on ac.
count of decreased production, re.
turned in vast numbers to their faith.
erland, because living expenses were
lower and the prospect of employ
ment greater in Europe than in, the
United States. This great volume
of emigration accounts for the checl
in the growth of many large cite!
and also greatly relieved the tax OF
charitable organizations incident tt
assisting the unemployed. Austria
Hungary and Italy have each receiv
ed back more emigrants than the.
have sent immigrants to the Unitet
States in 1908.

People Just Beginning to Realize
That the Emperor is Dead.
Pekin, Nov. 17.-China is just be-
ginning to realize that the emperor
and dowager empress are dead.
Prince Chun, the regent of the en-
pire, in fear Of revolutionary move
ments in the increasing excitement
has taken firm grasp on affairs
and adopted stringent measures that
will result in maintaining his power
for a time at least.
At noon today 5000 gendarms
guarded the streets and other mill
tary forces were held in readiness
for any emergency. Every precau-
ton was taken to prevent a re-occur-
renee of the. revolutionary tactics
last April and May. which was mark
ed by widespread incendarism. In
the foreign legations special detach-
ments Of troops are keeping guard.
However, there is no reason to be-
lieve that the death of the rulers
will result in anything other than
natural causes.

NEW SWINDLE WORKED.
Farmers Are Robbed by Bogus In
SpcctOrS of Live Stock,


spcctors of Live Stock.
Huron, S. d., Nov. 1.-TWO
smooth swindles are being worked
among farmers in not far distant To-
calities in this state. One is where
a we'll dressed, smooth lookingETA
a well dressed, smooth talking in
iividual appears at the farm home
and announces himself as an inspec-
tor Of live stock. He proceeds to in
spect the cattle, sheep, etc, and then
presents bill Of from $3.50 to $5,
as the case may be. Later the far
aer discovers that the inspector is
an imposter; that he has no author
lty from the government or from
other scources to warrant him in
making these calls.
Another scheme is being worked
where an alleged Inspector examines
farmers cattle and pronounces the
existence in the herd of tuberculosis.
Ee ventures the suggestion that the
disease is in very light form and
advises the owner to dispose of his
stock as early as possible to some
one outside of the county in which
he resides. A few days later a
stock buyer chances along and pur-
chases the cattle at a price below
the market quotations, the farmer
congratulating himself that he has
disposed Of his cattle and saved him
self from loss, only at later date to
discover that he has been the victim
Of a smooth swindler and that his
cattle passed inspection and were
! sent 10 eastern markets.

SPORTING EVENT OF THE YEAR.
Worlds Grand Prize -Four Hundred
Mile Race Thanksgiving Day.

Worlds Grand Prize Four Hundred
Mile Race Thanksgiving Day.
Savannah, Georgia, Nov. 16.-The
principal sporting event in the auto
mobile world this fall will be the race
for the Grand Prize under the aus
pices of the Automobile Club of Am
erica at Savannah, to be held on
Thanksgiving day, and the small car
race which is to be run on Novem-
ber 25th, the day before Thanks
giving. Both races will be run ov-
er the public roads of Chatham
county, the short car race being over
a course practically ten miles in
length and that for the larger cars
being over a specially constructed
course of 25 miles. The big race will
be 400 miles in length and that for
small cars 200 miles. The prize in
the big car race will be a gold cup
valued at $4,000, donated by the
Automobile Club of America. Both
events are international in scope and
there are now on the grounds driv-
ers from Italy, France, Germany and
America. The big race is known Of.
ficially as ''the Grand Prize Race.
and the smaller one as the Inter.
national Light Car Race"
The greatest interest is felt in the

will compete. There are twenty-five
entries in this race and the drivers
and the machines are already on the
ground getting in shape for it. The
course is closed to the public for two
hours each day and during this time
it is occupied by the drivers who are
learning its curves and getting ac-
quainted with its general conditions
Camps have been located at different
points along the course by all of the
entrants and from this date until
the day the race is run there will be
busy times in all of these. The course
is perfectly level one which was
built by convict labor and surfaced
with Augusta gravel, composition
that admits of very rapid speed being
made. 1t is expected that several
new worlds records will be hung up
on the course in the big event. Those
who have witnessed races over the
Vanderbilt Cup course and at Or
mond Beach declare that the best
time on these courses will be readily
eclipsed by the drivers on Thanks
giving Day. The Ormond Beach
record is II miles an hour 1t is
believed that at least IS miles an
hour will be made by the winner of
the Grand Prizes over the Savannah
course.
The International Light Car Race
entries include: America, four Max
wells, four Bucks, three Chalmers
Detroits, one American Aristocrat
italy, one Isotta and one Lancia.
France, one Gregoire, one S. P. o.
Robertson, the winner of the Van
derbilt Cup Race, will drive the Gre
Goire in the small car race and it is
expected he will drive the Buick in
the big race. Strang who is to drive
a French Renault in the Grand Prize,
won the Savannah Trophy in the
Chassis race of last March. 1t is
hoped to get these drivers pitted
against each other. Nazzaro, who
will drive a Fiat, is credited with
having made the fastest time ever
made in a road race when he went
TAB miles an hour at Bologna, Italy.
Wagner, who will also drive Fiat,
won the Vanderbilt Cup race year
ago. DePalma, another Fiat driver,
holds the worlds record for a mile
on circular track. 1t will be readily
seen that the material is entered in
this Grand race for the most excit-
ing automobile racing contest the
world ever witnessed
