Idle Freight Cars-Expect Sud.
den Change for Better.

Washington. March 3.-The Ameri-
can railways have made arrangements
to comply with the provisions OF the
nine-hour law. The operation Of the
law will mean the employment by rail
road companies of several thousand
additional operators and the closing OF
a large number of small stations on
the principal systems. The operating
officials of the railways believe that
this is the only way that they posi-
bly, can meet the situation. During
the hearing by the interstate com
merce commission some astonishing
statements were made by the operat-
ing officials of important railways.
Pushed Hard for Cash.
A good many lines, owing to a re-
dnction in their and to their
inability to command the cash neces-
sary to e their pay rolls, have been
forced during the past four months al
most TO the point Of asking for re
ceivers. Most Of the railway officials
attribute the difficulty to the unfor-
tunate banking situation which de
veloped last September.
One railway official ventured the
statement that in the country to-day
there We're 100000 idle freight cars,
and one line which he instanced was
declared to be hauling empty cars
backward and forward because it had
not yard room or sidings to accommo-
date them.
Return Of Prosperity.
Not a single Official. however. ex-
pressed the belief that the present in
dustrial depression would be lasting.
They practically uniformly express
confidence that the return of prospect
ty will be almost as sudden as was the
coming of adversely, and in their argu-
ments as to the enforcement of the
nine-hour law they pointed out to the
commission that such a return of pros
perity might seriously embarrass them
in complying with the law, because it
would render it difficult to command
the services of competent operators In
sufficient numbers to meet the needs
of prosperous conditions.

italians in Six Cities Were Con-
nected With the Killing Of
Father Leo.
SIX SUSPECTS ARE CAPTURED
Letter to Son Written by Denver Priests
Assassin Contains Clue
to Conspiracy.

Denver, March |. Chief Of Police
Michael DELANEY said yesterday that a
letter written by Giuseppe Alio to his
son. which was found in the cell occu-
! pied by Alio while in Jail at Colorado
Springs. contained proof that men in
six cities in the United States were
connected with him in h killing Of
Father Leo Heinrichs.
! Almost at the moment that he made
, this statement came news that six ar
| rests had heen made in Eastern cities
| of men suspected of being accomplices
of the murderer.
Six Arrests Made.
J. Vanni was arrested in New York
yesterday, charged with being he
chief of the society, while in Pittsburg
Orestos Sodi. Tomasso Calabreso.
Orestos Malavui and Malio Tolmei
| were locked up for being implicated
as members of the society. The 20
lice of New York and Pittsburg say
| they have evidence which connects
these men with the killing Of Father
Leo.
Arrests have been made in -four cit
| les. but because the police Of these
cities are shadowing other men, no in
| formation is given out as to who the
arrested men are.
Plot Hatched Elsewhere.
Chief Delaney said that he was not
sure whether Alio was merely a tool
of the anti-clerical society. to which
he said all these men belonged, or
Wether he was a ringleader.
Altos letter to his son was found
concealed in the blankets of the cot
in the Colorado Springs Jail. It's con-
tents translated. it is asserted, Indicate
that Father Leo was the victim Of a
plot Matched outside of Denver, and
that Alio came here to commit the
murder, which was to be the signal
for others.
All Is Not Vet Told.
Until all the arrests have been made
which the police contemplate Chief
Delaney said he would no give cut all
the particulars in the case.
That insanity will be the plea offer
ed il defense of Alio was the positive
statement of Baron G. Tosti. Italian
consul, who, in comany with Former
Consul Core and Attorney Widdi-
| combe. visited the prisoner in the Jail
yesterday.

Roston Bags.

Wherever you find US, whether in
ferry boat, railway coach or electric
car, you shall know us by our bags
Boston bags for women, green-cloth
bags for men," says Rollin Lynde
HART in an article on "The Boston
Suburbanite" in the Woman's Home
Companion. "And the green-cloth bag
is by no means so silly as it looks.
Pray don't rank it as a Boston fad or
a mere bit of local color-along with
Browning, and Ibsen, and beans, and
the sacred Goldfish. It's eminently
practical. 1t will accommodate pack
ages and papers Of all conceivable
shapes; hold big load as conveniently
as a little one; and when empty, fold
up and ride in your pocket. Besides, it
looks learned, most eminently learned.
Originally affected exclusively by law
yers, it's former dignity still clings to
it. Whenever l see a green bag I in
stinctively conclude that it bulges with
liens, torts, affidavits, verdicts, convey
ances, habeas corpuses, changes of
venue and the like, although 1 know
in my heart it more probably contains
a head of lettuce, can of sardines,
half a pound of coffee, and copy OF
the latest magazine"

PREFERS FOREST TO A MANSION

Work of n PIucky Young school
Teacher in the Northwest.
TyDicaI of the ambitious and plucky
young women of the Pacific northwest
who have confidence in themselves and
in the country in which they live, is
Miss Rebecca NJ. Henderson, an accom-
pIished teacher and talented musician,
formerly connected with the public
schools in Spokane, who, after building
a home in her recently acquired home
stead in the forest depths Of the Pend
dOrville river district, almost fifty
miles from the nearest railroad, has or
ganized a school. her six pupils being
children Of neighboring ranches, says
the Seattle Times.
The settlement which is in the ex-
IRENE northeastern part Of Washing
ton, has been named Blueside. Pro
visions and mail now are taken into
the district by pack horses and ex-
press riders, but Miss Henderson be-
lieves she and her friends will be able
to induce one of the railroad companies
operating in eastern Washington to ex-
tend a branch line to the place be-
fore long, when it Is purposed to or
ganize a municipality.
"I may say" said Miss Henderson,
that l would not exchange this life
In the great out-of-doors and give up
my horse and dogs and rife for the
most palatial home and automobiles,
and dancing and bridge parties in any
big CITY,"
The exterior Of Miss Henderson's
shack" as she calls it, does not give
an inkling to the comfort within its
hospitable walls. The two rooms are
we'll furnished and there is a piano and
pictures and rugs in the little front
room, while the back room is her pri-
vate chamber, a peep into which would
cause a society debutante to envy It's
owner.
The cooking is done in the open in
the rear of the house. The walls and
the floors of the parlor schoolroom also
contain several trophies Of the chase,
brought down by Miss Henderson's un-
erring aim.
Miss Henderson has devoted consid-
cradle time to nature study and wood
craft and is unusually well informed
on these subjects through her wide
reading and observation In the heart
of the great forest IN this part Of the
State.

EDWARD A MODEL MONARCH.

Responsibility Raises DevfI-May-
Care Prince from Mire of FrivOIity.
Sacrament is not in it's origin Chris
tian, but of heather Rome, says the
Los Angeles Times. The Roman sol
der on the eve of battle took an oath
of loyalty to his general. He owed this
loyalty before the oath, but the formal
fty was supposed to renew his devotion,
TO impress on him anew a sense of his
responsibility and inspire him to great
er deeds of valor.
All sense of responsibility seems TO
exert an influence like this sacrament
on the minds of most men. The more
of manhood there is in a man the
greater the influence ON him arising
from a sense of responsibility.
King Edward VII. of England is a
conspicuous example of what a deep
sense of responsibility will do for a
man who has mental capacity and a
human heart
As Prince of Wales Albert Edward
earned for himself the reputation of
deviI-may-care devotion to pleasure not
matched by many of his chums among
the royalties of the continent who
maintained any respect for common de-
cency. For be it said that Edward in
the days when he trOd "the primrose
path with the jauntiest air seldom
forgot to be a gentleman. On a mem
orable occasion, to save a woman's rep
utatiOn, the gay prince is thought by
some to have strained the fiber OF truth
to an extreme But all agreed that if
this were so, he "perjured himself like
a gentleman"
But this pleasure-seel1ing prince, as
soon as the responsibility of kingship
fell to his lot, at a single effort threw
off all his former carelessness and be
came in all respects model ruler. he

SPORT IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
Hawking Then One of the Most Pop
uIar Forms of Hunting.


Have you ever noticed a hawk soar
ing and floating high up against the
sky? Have you seen him busy appar-
emily in embroidering Il wonderful pat
tern of loops and curves, putting in
wing beat here and a long float there,
and then suddenly, without moments
warming, seem fairly to drop to the
ground, pause Il moment and then rise
slowly and fly to some nearby tree?
The splendid flight was made with
purpose. He was looking out for his
prey and when he saw with his keen
eyes some field mouse scampering
across a field, or q tiny bird covering in
bush, or picking up meal among the
grass, he fell from the sky, seized the
little creature and took it off in his
talOns to eat it at leisure in some con-
venient tree
This method of pursuing his prey was
taken advantage Of in the middle ages
and later times to provide for man one
OF his most popular forms of hunting.
The birds were chosen with greatest
care, each kind was trained to hunt for
his own particular sort of prey, and
great parties of lords and ladies, fol
lowed By many attendants, rode out
into the fields and marshes to Fly"
their birds, as they called it, and watch
them "strike their quarries. IN. Hud-
son Moore i'll st. Nicholas.

of the same circumstances, would have
INDUCED their passions less, would
have been so little spoiled by iattery,
would have observed so much the de-
cencies of life. There is scarcely one
who could, exposed to such temptation
as he went through, have preserved
enough physical, mental and moral
manhood to have assumed the great re-
sponsibilities of the throne and develop
ed such great qualities of a great ruler
He is wise, able, adrOit, just and thor
oughly human in his high estate. The
sacrament of responsibility has in
spired him with grace to perform well
the duties of his position.

Fohu winds.

The Journal of the Meteorological
Society of Japan contains an account
by DR.. Okada of the occurrence in
Korea Of those remarkable winds which
have been called fohn winds. The
winds to which this name was origin
ally given are warm winds blowing
down from the snOw-clad mountains of
Switzerland and producing extensive
MEETINGS of the snow. They have hence
been called ''snow eaters" The fohn
is essentially a phenomenon of noun
famous regions, and WOnsau, in Korea,
where they have been observed, is
surrounded except on the east by high
mountains. In this region they are
always westerly and cause abnormal
" high temperatures and dryness of
the air. A similar wind in North
America blowing down from the Rocky
mountains has been called the chinook.
Fohn winds occur also in the arctic
regions. Blowing sometimes in mid
winter they produce a remarkable eli
matte paradox. AS a result Of the ele-
walton of temperature caused by them
it may happen that northern Green
land. though in winter darkness, is
warmer than southern France.

Cleaning the Typewriter.

The most important thing in clean
ing a typewriter is to get the dust
and grit out of the machine--not far
Their into it, as is too often the case.
At least twice a year every typewriter
should be thoroughly cleaned with gas
oline, and then the machine should be
left alone until all the gasoline has
evaporated. Then all points of fric-
ton should be oiled and the ribbon,
which was, of course, removed ut the
start, replaced. Simply as a business
proposition it pays to keep typewriters
covered when not in use.-Circle.

OKLAHOMA A COTTON STATE.
One of Its Chief Products Was the
Result OF Accident,

Result OF Acc1dent1
In the production of cotton Oklahoma
ranks sixth among the States In 1906
it produced 100000 bales, and 1907
will probably bring it up to fourth
place, says Everybody's.
Oklahoma very nearly overlooked cot
ton, too. The northern men who came
in with the rush didn't think of it as a
cotton country, didn't think of it as
much Of anything; in fact, when they
saw the red soil red as clay bank where
log pile has been burned 1t remained
for Il band of obscure Georgia negroes,
in dire misfortune, to discover its cot
ton qualities ard give it one of its chief
sources of wealth.
1t was along about 1890 that negro,
E. 2. McCabe, eX-auditor of Kansas,
with two associates, acquired 800 acres
of land near Guthrie, laid out a town
site and induced some 1000 negroes
from the South to settle there. But
the town, having nothing to support it,
was a failure; the inhabitants were
scattered. Still, a few remained, some
Of them even acquiring land which the
white man had passed over as worth
less. One day in the fall of 1892 a COM
mittee Of these negroes visited Guthrie
and laid before the business men of
that city a wonderful story Of cotton.
Recognizing in the blackjack soil a
close similarity to that Of the Georgia
cotton lands, some of them had planted
a few seeds, which, somehow, had clung
to their effects when they migrated to
the new country. The result had been
a prolific yield of eXtra-fine cotton and
the committee had come to Guthrie to
solicit aid in sending south for seed
enough to plant crops the following
spring.
No one knew about cotton in Okla
homa and for long time no one would
listen to them. But at length they
found a man who was interested. lie
drew others in. a carload Of seed was
bought and distributed among the ne
groes and in the spring of 1898 the
first cotton crop was planted in Okla
homa.
