MAY USE ELECTRICITY
ON S. P. LOCAL LINES

Pacific investigating the practicability
of substituting electric engines for the
oil burners now in use
Consideration has been given, it is
said, to the project of electrifying ul-
timately all regular lines of the South
ern Pacific.
The action of the Pacific Electric in
ordering electric moguls for use at the
harbor is a testimonial of the growing
importance of Los Angeles harbor In
the eyes of railway men.
1t Is realized that the shipping busi-
ness of San Pedro will make enormous
strides in the next few years and that
some way must be found to meet the
increased demand on yardage facilities.
Electric engines not only would lower
the cost of moving and switching
freights, but would facilitate the work,
as 1t Is claimed manufacturers that
the electric engines are easier to handle
and can do faster switching work than
can the heavy steam locomotives.
Now that 1t Is an open secret that
the Southern Pacific Is about to ex-
pertinent with electric power 1t Is re-
called that for the past two years the
Santa Fe has been quietly testing the
efficiency of electric locomotives and Is
watching with a great deal OF interest
the more or less open experiments of
other roads.
President Ripley of the Santa Fe
said recently in Chicago. Electricity
will be substituted In cities by the
great carriers just as soon as that
power has been proved cheaper than
other power" which is now the case
in Southern California.
The substitution in Los Angeles and
immediate vicinity of electrical loco
motives for oil burners would release
for use on the regular long passenger
and freight runs fuel now tied up in
various yards,

TISSOULA, Mont, Oct. 29.-Among
U the developments today in the
AAA ok-Barrill- Mount Mckinley
controversy was the announcement OF
the procuring of an affidavit from
George w, Solleder. a prominent farm
er of Ravilli county, living near the
homes of Barrill and Printz, in which
the affiant declares that Barrill told
him that he and DR.. Cook had climbed
Mount Mckinley.
DR.. Cooks confidential agent an
nounced at the time he got the af-
but he had decided not to make them
public at this time.
You may say that although we
have several valuable statements from
friends and neighbors of Barrlll.' said
the agent owing to the bitterness Of
the controversy In the. Bitter Root
valley at the present time and the fact
that the statements come from per-
sons who have everyday business
dealings with the guides. they have
been promised that their statements
would not be given out for puoilca-
ton, but simply submitted to the
proper scientific bodies as evidence in
the controversy"
Arrive at MIssouIa
DR.. Cook and his party arrived In
Mlssoula late today, coming from
Hamilton in automobiles. DR.. COOK
said that he did not care at this time
to discuss the meeting at Hamilton
last night further than to say that the
matter had now slfted itself down to
a point where 1t was the affidavit Of
himself against the affidavit of Bar
rill, and could be settled only by an
expedition to Mount Mckinley to re-
cover the records which he left. on the
peak. The doctor reiterated the asser-

EXISTS IN NEW YORK
Declares Women Imported for I'm.
moral Purposes and That Empire
State Metropolis Leads
In the Traffic

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Jeremiah w.
jerks, professor of political economy
and politics at Cornell university, gave
out statement here today declaring
"white slavery does exist in New
York as charged by q recent anti
Tammany magazine article, but he
does not hold any political organiza-
tion responsible.
Prof. jerks, who was member of
the commission appointed by congress
to investigate immigration conditions.
said
II have no knowledge as to whether
this traffic is greater In New York
than in Paris. l believe, however,
that 1t is greater in New York than
elsewhere in the United States, first,
because New York is the largest city;
second, because it is the chief port of
entry.
women imported for immoral pur-
poses for Chicago and Seattle largely
come through New York and many of
the dealers are here. There is no
question that the traffic exists on a
large scale in New York and that from
New York many women are sent to
other states and some even to foreign
countries"

WIDOW WEEPS
AT GOOD LUCK
WINS LAND IN RESERVATION
DRAWING
Last of 10000 Names Are Extracted
from Box at Aberdeen, S. D.,
and SwindIe Charge Is
Denied
tBy Associated Press. ]

ABERDEEN, S. D.. Oct. 29.--Turning
away tearfully from the rinal day OF
the drawing of names of winners IN
the Cheyenne river and Standing Rock
reservations, Mrs. Sylvia r. Giliard of
Sandusky, Ohio, a widow 60 years of
age, today glanced idly at the printed
list of winners upon the wall.
Hope gone, she faced the bitterest
disappointment of her life, but decided
on one more look in the vain hope
that she would see her name. Slowly
turning the pages, she was thrilled to
find herself set down a winner of the
43Sth claim.
"Thank God!" she said. my prayer
has been answered"
With tears streaming down her face,
she rushed back to the platform to
know If it were really true.
Shaking hands with Judge Witten
and all his deputies, she sang in JOY.
She had worked nights In a hotel to
pay her way to Aberdeen When her
name was called she was doing.
The drawing of the 10000 names
ended today.
The task of tabulating the names
will continue for month.
Replies to Attack
Judge Witten, in charge of the
drawing, speaking today of the attack
made on the method of the openings
by Louis W. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad, at the dry
farming congress, said Mr.. Hill was
misuuoted or misinformed.
Mr.. Hill is reported as having called
the recent Flathead, Coeur d'Alene and
Spokane registration a "swindle," and
said:
1T is estimated 100000 people went
out there. We received our portion OF
the money. and we do not want that
kind of money"
"These figures are grossly mislead-
ing" said Judge Witten. THE COM
bined registration for all three was
but 2S6 ,S4S, and one-third of that num-
ber, or 95,616. represents the number
of applicants if each had registered
three times"

Cool Heads Prevent an Attack on the

snecial to Times-Repuhlican.

Dubuque, May 26.-Believing that a
band of gypsies had Kidnapped her
2-year-old daughter Mrs. Dave O'Neil,
who resides on First street, gave the
alarm and in a brief time a crowd of
one thousand was gathered, and only
cool heads prevented an attack on the
nomads. Later, the child was found in
a lumber yard in the lower end of the
city.
While its mother was not looking
the little tot wandered away from
home and proceeded 10 Bluff street.
The mother shortly after noted the
absence of her babe and rushed out
of the house searching for it. She
looked high and low and found no
trace of it. A band of gypsies had
stopped at Duggan's blacksmith shop
to have wagons repaired and the con-
viction vas reached that the wander
ers had secured the child.
The news was spread broadcast rep
4biN, iIIQ ioISS DNSd4l " oiiiNS
They came from all directions, east,
west, north and south. Women left
their household duties and rushed 20
the scene of the excitement. Men
left their offices and stores, while
hired hands forgot that they were
working and swelled the growing mob.
All were convinced that the gypsies
had the babe. Some radicals pro-
posed an attack but cooler heads ruled
and the gypsies were saved from harm.
1t is estimated that fully a thou
sand gathered with the sound of alarm.
Manyp were unruly. No idea was en-
tertained that the child could have
continued walking. Practically every
the girl was slowed away in a. sack.
in a box or under blankets.
Feeling ran high and a demand was
made upon the nomads for the return
of the child. The leader of the band.
a swarthy. dark-skinned son of Rou-
mania, entered protest against the
demonstration. He was frightened as
he stood up before the angered crowd
and declared that they did not nave
the girl. The people refused to BE-
lieve him and there We're repeated
breaks as if TO start trouble.
Finally, a demand arose to search
the wagons and the baggage of the
band. Not attempting to stop the
searchers, the gyps;es stood by as men
proceeded to examine all of the be-
lodgings, turning everything topsy-
turvy. After several minutes work
the searching squad reported that
there were no developments, and the
crowd began to dispense, going back
to their homes, offices and workshops
unable to solve the mystery of the
child's absence.
The gypsies were only too happy t.
pack up and make a hasfy exit.
1t appears that after the child lief
home it wandered down Bluff street
