SWITCHING TO SHIPPERS
Attorney for Railroad Finds
Fault With Inspectors

The continued hearing OF the action
brought by the Pacific coast Joboers
and manufacturers association against
the Southern Pacific and the Santa re

Delmore Lederman yesterday was. oc-
cupied by the testimony of j. Cotton
and Albert s. Clark, witnesses for the
railroads. Cotton, who is yardmaster
for the Southern Pacific in Los An
geles. cave mass of expert testimony
on the difficulty of switching in the
Los Angeles yard on account of many
curves and high per cent of grade.
The time and cost of breaking up a
train was given by Albert >. clark,
Sixth street f1eldman in Los Angeles,
for the railroad. He also dwelt at
length on the amount of work neces-
sary to seoregate cars for the team
track. house track and industry track
c. w. Durbrow, attorney for the
Southern Pacific, would show by the
testimony of Clark and Cotton, that
the cost of $3.50 q car for switching
should be borne by the industries.
Attorney Durbrow took occasion to
score W. B. Winters and Frank Nc
Manamy, insterstate commerce inspect
ors, who worked up the evidence for
the government. He found fault with
the way thew had procured the evil
dence. asserting that the inspectors

NO CHANGE FROM
HERE TO SEATTLE
Solid Trains Will Be Run to the
Northern City, Says
j. c. Stubs

j. c. Stubs, traffic director of the
Hartman lines, arrived in the city yes
terday and will remain here till next
Tuesday, when he will leave for Port
land and Seattle.
He declares he was never in better
health and the only reason why he
came to the coast was for brief holt
day and to see the members of his
family who make their home here.
Stubs says he As going to look over
the ground in the northwest, not that
there is anything new in the situa-
ton, but he wants to keep in touch
with the people there.
WILL USE HILL TRACKS
1t will be remembered that when
E H Hartman was here this paper
published that Hill and Hartman had
come to an agreement with regard to
the northern territory which Louis Hill
denied. Stubs yesterday verified
the Geographic reports from Chicago
by stating that the Hartman trains
would use the Hill tracks between
Portland and Seattle.
1--WE shall have solid trains, which
will compare with anything in any
part of the world running between San
Francisco and Seattle" declared the
traffic director of the Hartman lines
"as soon as our terminals ARE COM
pleted at Tacoma. It is quite within
the range Of proba ability" he added
that through cars will be run from
Los Angeles to Seattle.
While our terminals are being COM
pleted at Tacoma we shall continue
to use those of the Northern Pacific
Yes, there is a great deal of money
being spent on the terminals at Ia
coma"
THE FREIGHT SITUATION
Stubs did not believe that there
would be any change in the freight
situation by the opening of the West
ern Pacific.
There will be no disturbance OF
rates" he said. There was none fol.
lowing the opening of the Chicago
Milwaukee and Puget Sound road into
the northwest, and, besides, all disturb
terstate commerce law which makes
raised or lowered without 80 days no.
tice.
Business is better all over the coun-
try. We have good reports of crops
from every section, and the farmer will
receive big money for his produce.
There were some apprehensions
about tariff legislation, but this has
been allayed and there is more com
Portable feeling about 1T all over the

NEW POINT RAISED IN
GLOBE DAMAGE SUIT
Nurses Attorney Says Corpora
ton Should Reveal Names

The motion of the Globe publishing
company to quash the service OF sum-
mons upon Willard P. Calkins in the
$4,000 damage suit instituted by Re-
becca Elizabeth Raney, a nurse, for the
theft from her rooms by an employee of
the paper of a diary, letters and other
private property. was further argued
before judge Hunt yesterday.
The Globes lawyer. Charles Fl. Will
son. said that the service on CaIkins
was of no effect. because Calkins was
no longer an officer of the corporation
Theodore A. Bell, attorney for Miss
Raney. contended that until the Globe
company revealed the names of its
office bearers the service on Calkins
should stand.

farmers entirely. has petitloned the
state board Of equalization to In
crease the assessment on farm lands
and certain domestic animals 100
per cent. The petitioners assert that
town lots and bank stock are assess
ed at very near their true value, but
farm lands and live stock are al
together too low. They cite that
land worth from $40 to $75 an acre
is assessed at $S.25; and horses
worth 1925 at $26.92 a head; and
mules worth $500 a span at $293S
a head. Coming from farmers it is
expected that the state board will
yield to their request, and give Mis-
souri, chance to work out of debt
and be great relief to many of it's
counties. There are other states
farther north than Missouri where
$40 and $50 an acre land is assessed
at too low a figure. 1t is mistaken
policy for the state to attempt to
keep its assessments at the lowest
notch while its legitimate expenses
are growing and a debt accumulat
ing. A few dollars added to farm
lands, whatever they have been as
sessed abnormally low would be no
hardship to the owner. whether non

this II 1t is just it ought to be done.

A Vanishing Race.

Recent reports concerning the In
dian tribes of the Dakotas tend to
confirm the we'll understood fact,
that the aboriginees are dying at
an alarming rate from tuberculosis,
and that, unless something is done
soon to check the ravages Of the dis
ease among them, the once sturdy
tribes will be practically extermin-
ated.
1t would seem to be the part Of
common humanity to set on foot
an organized effort to check the
spread of consumption among the
Indian wards Of the government.
Great pains have been taken to pre-
serve the buffalo from extinction,
and safeguards are thrown around
the deer and elk and other interest
ing species of animals. II they are
worth saving surely the red man is
worth saving too.
That the Indian owes his rapid
decay as a race to the white man
cannot be denied. The white people
are responsible for the dwindling OF
the tribes through the ravages OF
consumption. Apparently the Ina
dian, born and bred to life in the
open air, falls ready victim to the
tuberculosis germ when he Is con-
fined in the habitations of civiliz-
alton. The subject is worth investi-
eating from scientific, as we'll as
a humanitarian standpoint. Left to
himself. the Indian, who has been
forced by the circumstances of CIV
ilization to change his mode Of life,
Is helpless to combat the disease.
Modern science should be able to do
something for him.
It would seem to be no more than
the duty Of the government which
established a strict rule over the
life of the Indian, to take energetic
measures to do something for his
preservation. Whether 1t can be
arranged to again place the Indian
out in the open, where he will en-
Joy the life that his forefathers have
been accustomed to is a problem,
but it is possible that science could

life as to be the least liable to con-
tract the disease that has been kill

The Servian government on Mon"

evasive reply to the note of March
6, intended to heighten the war fe-
yer in Vienna. 1t refers to the dual
monarchy to the Servian statement

been better If the treaty OF commerce
had been submitted for ratification
at BUDAPEST and Vienna. Servia,
however offers to accept a provis-
ional treaty, If the present one can
not be passed by March 81. Officials
at Vienna again have denied reports
of the mobilizing of troops. An Aus

any moment.

1t is the presumption that the pres
ent age is the best developed physi-
cally than that of good many gen.
erations. Fifty and sixty years ago
there was little thought of physical
development or training to make en-
durance thing of record. Yet we
have an illustration in the we'll pre-
served men Of the fifty-year-ago-per-
iod in Edward Payson Weston, who
Monday started to walk across the
country from New York to San Fran
cisco within certain period. Weston
is nearly seventy years Of age and
the feat that he has attempted is
something remarkable for a man OF
his years. In the early SOS he made
record walk and last year he even
accomplished something greater.
How much more will the youth of
today accomplish when he grows to
manhood with the physical training
he is receiving these days than West
on has done in his period.

If President Taft selects Charles
w. Eliot, until recently president of
Harvard university, as Whitelaw
Reid's successor as ambassador to
Great Britain, that position would
be adorned as it has not been since
its tenure by James Russell Lowell
from 1880 to 1885. Joseph H.
Choate and Mr. Reid are both men
of culture and attainments. But Ell
lot has done for education quite as
much as did Lowell for literature,
and neither Of the last two ambas-
sailors has become so renowned in
distinctive field. The position of
ambassador to Great Britain is large
ly honorary and its duties are more
of social than diplomatic nature
in this day of cables. That being
the case it Is not necessary that it
be obtained only through a course
in practical politics. DR.. Eliot would
show England something of the at
tainments made in America in pro.
fession highly regarded there. Fur
ther, DR.. Eliot is not a rich man
and his selection for the post would
result in a demonstration that it is
not necessary to draw upon great
wealth in order to represent this
democracy with honor in the court OF
St. James.

The decisions of the International
naval conference recently held in
London were published Monday.
They are opposed in many respects
to what has been the custom in Great
Britain. They decree that in certain
circumstances, including the pursuit
of captor, the capture may be sunk
subject only to compensation If
wrongly sunk. But what is termed
absolute contraband may be sunk at
any time under any circumstances.
Exhaustive lists have been made of
what is contraband. Foodstuffs are
so classed only when directly con-
signed to military forces. All neu-
trail vessels coming within a block
ade may be seized.
