YOUNG PEOPLE EDGED.
Buggy Seats Also Tarred and Creased
Arrests Follow.

Ottawa, Kan, Dec. 3O.-Warrants
were served by Under Sheriff Latimer
on Peter and George Hubbart and
Jesse Mack and Benjamin Anderson,
all of Peoria charged with assauIt1ng
and disturbing the peace of Ray NC
C,anne1 and Miss Vieva Brunton, also
of Peoria. The young men, whose
ages range from 16 to 20 years, gave
bonds In the sum of $50 each for their
annearance in court on January 19.
Mr.. MCDANIEL. Miss Brunton, Miss
MYRTLE HinkIe and several others were
spending the evening in series OF So
ciaI calls on friends. In passing from
one residence to another they were as
sailed by someone who threw num-
Der of eggs, many Of the missiles strik-
ing the victims and breaking on their
clothing. Later on when several of the
Mcconnell party climbed into a buggy
and sat down in the seats they found
that the seats had been smeared with
mixture of tar and wagon grease. The
garments of several of the party were
ruined.
1t is charged that one of the Ander-
son boys purchased the eggs at the
Asin1us store that evening and that
fine other accused young men were in
his company. Petty jealousy of the
attentions Of other young gentlemen
and of the indifference of the young
ladies is said to be advanced as a
possible reason for the outrage.

FRISCO MAKES PROTEST.
Dozens of Mass Meetings to Fight In
crease in Freight Rates.

San Francisco. Dec. 3O.-One hundred
mass meetings will be held at various
points throughout the state today to
protest against the proposed increase in
transcontinental freight rates which are
scheduled to go into effect January L.
The organized remonstrance against the
action of the transportation companies
has been handled by an executive COM
nittee appointed by the shippers of the
state who have Joined in the movement
and the day of the meetings has been
designated as rate day." According to
the estimates made by the committees
in charge of the meetings, a general at
tendance of between $4,000 and 100000
persons is expected. Every important
city in the state will have a meeting
and the speakers will declare the pro-
test of the shippers of California to
what is termed the imposition of a 10
million dollar annual tax on California
consumers, that being the estimated
difference between the rates now in
force and those which the companies
seek to collect after the first of the
year.

KEEPS CAPITAL AWAY

A plea against the enactment of fur
Their ill-advised legislation, which may
hamper the development of the rail-
ways of the country, was made by
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Rock Island
Frisco lines, in an address recently de-
hvered before the Chicago Association
of Commerce. Mr.. Yoakum said that
whatever tends to stop the expansion of
the railways should be avoided, as it
also stops the healthy growth of the
country. Among other things Mr.
Yoakum said:
THE results of i1I-advised legislation
are of vital Importance to the million
vest their time by selling their labor
to the railroads, and the million in
vestors who exchange their money for
railroad securities who want their
money safely invested.
THE danger which threatens the en-
ploye's payroll and mans investment
in railroad securities just as surely en-
dangers every other branch of bust
ness It is therefore of supreme i'm
portance to the employee and the in
weston that we have fair laws that pro-
perly safeguard their interests, with
due and constant regard to efficient ser
vice and fair treatment to the public.
All interests are justified in asking the
lawmakers and the railroad commits
sioners of the country to consider well
before enacting further laws that will
hamper or retard the railroads in rem
dering good service and in expanding
the development OF the cOuntry'S bust
ness.
THE development of this country
since it's independence has been carried
on more rapidly and with greater wis
dom than any country of the world but
to further develop it's resources, expand
its trade, and do what is necessary to
bring it up to the standard which it
merits calls for greater work in the
future than has been accomplished in
the past.

Mr. Ripley asks what reason exists
for insisting that of all industries the

Yacht Hawaii Receives Gift

.. G. May has presented the trans
pacific yacht Hawaii with a silken
American flag which has quite his

The flag was given to May by Joe
Lind, manager Of the Hankow & Can

ton Chinaman.
When May came back to Honolulu
from the Orient. he travelled by the
s. s. Minnesota. and the Taft party
and Mrs. Longworth, then Miss Alice
Roosevelt. joined the vessel at Shimo-
neseki. There was only a flag at the
stern to show that the great liner was
an American bottom. and feeling that
the proximity Of such iIlustrious
Americans as Taft and the rest of
the party deserved some recognition,
May waived his silk flag as the party
approached the steam AS he did
so an army of school children assem-
bled to do honor TO the visitors each
produced an American flag and waved
it enthusiastically
The party saluted Mays flag and
commented on the fact that beside the
emblem at the stern II was the only
American flag displayed aboard.
Again in Yokohama, May waved his
flag from the portico of the Club Hotel
as the Taft party was passing. and
the members rose up in the seats of
their carriages and saluted the Stars
