FIELD WIDENING.
c. p. Railway Soon to Dispatch Trains
BY New System.

Calgary. Alta.-Inside of two
weeks the Canadian Pacific rail-
way OH the division between Swift
Current and Medicine Hat will be dis
patching trains by telephone instead
of by telegraph. This is an innova-
tion in the middle west. The regular
telegraphing staff will not be cut
down, as the operators will be re-
quired for general railway work
The use of the telephone for dis
patching was one of the main sub
jects at the Detroit convention of rail-
way telegraph superintendent of
America. J. Mcmillan, superintendent
of the Canadian Pacific railway tie
graph at Calgary, says that telephone
dispatching, according to reports pre-
sented to the convention, has been
tried out on many important Ameri-
can railways and so satisfactory have
been the results that its general use
appears to be only matter of short
time.
Canadian Pacific trains will carry
telephone sets and fixtures and in case
of any delay it will be an easy matter
to communicate with the nearest sta
tion.

BANDITS ROB A GOLD NINE

$4,000.

Telluride, Col.-Holding five men
and two women helpless under
the muzzles of revolvers, three
masked men early in the morning OBJ
tanned $4,000 in gold from the bunk
house of the Nellie mine, on Bear
creek, and made their escape after a
running fight, during which several
shots were fired and one of the horses
ridden by the bandits was wounded.
Fred Zanetti, former employee of
the mine, was arrested in Telluride
and held pending an investigation.
The police allege that a mask similar
to those worn by the bandits was
found in Zanetti's room.
Another circumstance which the po-
lice believe is strongly corroborative
of the evidence which they claim
shows Zannetti's connection with the
robbery is that two days ago Zanetti
borrowed a rifle from the Nellie mine,
which has not yet been returned. This
was the only weapon at the mine.

QUITS PULPIT FOR SOCIALISM.
Clergyman Declares Church Has No
Policy on Existing Problems.

Clergyman Declares Church Has Nc
Policy on Existing Problems.
Troy, N. Y.-Rev Loomis o. Black,
pastor of the First Universalist
church and one of the most popular
clergymen of Troy. has surprised his
congregation by his announcement
that he will retire from the ministry
Aug. / to devote his time to socialistic
work. An offer of double his salary
failed to swerve him from his purpose.
He says he never again will occupy
a pulpit as pastor.
Il have been brought to take this
step by the fact that the church has
no definite policy" said Mr.. Black,
nor does it desire to have any on the
problems before the country today.
"The church has absolutely no de.
sire to WELD any influence to help the
common people get fair play. 1t is
not back of any organization of men
to get their rights. The moneyed
classes control the attitude OF the
church toward any problem"

IfIRsI RESULTS Of The TARIFF
RAISE PRICES OF READY MADE
SUITS.
Clothiers Declare Retention OF thA
Present Wool Rates Will Force
Advance.

Washington.--The advance note
of warning to wearers OF ready
made clothing to prepare for rise
their apparel is sounded by special
committee of the National Association
of Clothiers. The organization pur-
ports to be composed of 81 per cent
of the leading clothing manufacturers
in the United States, supplying IS per
cent of the clothing.
The committee, in a statement is
sued as protest to the senate, de-
plores the retention of what are prac-
tically Dingley bill rates on wool and
says that their effect has been such
in recent years as gradually to re-
duce the amount of wool carried I'M
imported cloth.
Will Force Prices Up.
Through the inability of the cloth
to stand ordinary wear the manufac-
turer has been gradually deprived of
the opportunity to produce garments
upon which good regulations can be
based, and the prices consequent1
must go up. The members of the sps-
cial committee are: -
Marcus M. Marks, president of the
National Association of Clothiers,
chairman.
Ludwig Stein, of B. Kuppenhe liner
& Co., Chicago.
Siegmund B. Sonneborn, of Henry
Sonneborn & Co., Baltimore.
David ~
baum & Co., Philadelphia.
Louis KRISTEN, of Stein, Bloch &
Co., Rochester. n. Y.
Frank r. Chambers, of Rogers, Peet
& Co., New York
William Goldman, of Kohn, Gold
man e. Co., New York.
E. r. Smith, of E. r. Smith & Co.,
Boston.
Will Cost "a Per Cent More.
Setting forth frankly the prices that
are proposed for clothing next season,
the committee says:
The advance prices on worsteds
which have been announced, follow
ing the steady deterioration of fab
rics in weight and quality, resulting
from the operations from the Dingley
bill, will add to the retail prices ap-
proXimately $3.50 on a $40 suit Of
clothes; So on SIS suit, and IS on
a $40 suit, or from 20 per cent to %
per cent to the cost of clothing to the
wearer. The aggregate burden oHfhe
increased cost of mems and boys
clothing to the American people un-
der the present advance alone will
be $120000,00O for the year 1910,
which is twice the value of the an
nual domestic wool clip.
The foregoing, it is set forth, dem
onstrates the results already appar-
ent to the actual manufacturers OF
clothing, and they can see no change
unless the senate bill, through some
miracle, undergoes a radical overhaul
ing before it reaches the president.
