BANKERS CONCERNED
IN ROADS CONTROL
Question of Management of Hankow-
SEE Chuen Railway Interests Flnan-
ciers Who viii Furnish Money
for Construction

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The question OF
equal control in the construction OF
the Hankow Sze Cheun railway is now
occupying the attention of the interna-
tional bankers interested in the line for
this purpose, it was announced today.
1t is understood here that America
considers it important that she should
have an equal voice in appointing en-
gineers in the charge of the construc-
ton, as on their advice the rolling
stock will be purchased.
This matter previously was arranged
by the European bankers and it was
understood that America had no OBJ
lection. Recently, however, the ques-
ton was raised by America and while
the Anglo French interests agree on
allowing all the powers equal control,
the German financiers are offering some
opposition.
1t is proposed to subject the Rus
sian question of control of municipali-
ties along the Russian railroad area in
Manchuria, which arose through Ameri-
cas- objection to the original Russian
plan, to the foreign consuls on the
spot for adjustment.

NT ORTAL wounds were inflicted last
A night upon Franz Joseph, EN-
ALA peror of the Austria Hungary
monarchy, and several grand dukes
princes and crowned or coroneted heads
of tie Slavonian dependency when a
swarthy Mexican who had no respect
for the old world celebrities entered the
restaurant of Pablo Wakotich, All Ord
street and fired bullets into the pictured
semblances of the crowned heroes.
"Caramba! Plain steak" growled
a late wayfaring Mexican who strolled
into the humble restaurant of Mr..
Wakotich. The patron whiled away a
few seconds twiddling his thumbs and
pulling his fierce mustachios, then his
gaze wandered to the wall.
"Who dem on de wall?" queried the
unpleasant visitor as he glowered at
the pictures of the Austrian and Sla-
vonian mobiles lavishly displayed in
glaring colors and framed and hung
high.
Flattered and gratifed at the notice
taken of the art display, the Slavonian
waiter explained the manifold virtues,
luster, and glorious attributes of the
gallery of nobility.

awaited a plain steak. Forthwith he
began to criticise in more thorough

How went to Europe several weeks ago
for the purpose of bringing Mr.. Shaw
to this country to attend the interna-

Chicago on January next.
In his letter to James Morris, man
ager of the free employment bureau of
the national committee, Mr. How states
that he will accompany Mr.. Shaw to
America, and that they will bring with
them Bolton Hall and possibly Keir
Hardie. If Mr.. Hardie cannot come at
once, it is expected that he will attend
the convention in Chicago. Various ef-
forts have beenmade to induce George
Bernard Shaw to lecture in this coun-
try, and while Mr.. How's letter is
brief, Mr.. Morris believes the British

Capitalist and PhiIanthropist Goes to
Seattle to Lecture on Need of Inn

Institutions

Col. Griffith j. Griffith, secretary and
treasurer of the California branch of
the Prison Reform league, left last
night for San Francisco, en- route to
Seattle, where he will deliver an ad-
dress before the national congress of
the American Prison association.
On his way north he will speak be-
fore the Greater Fellowship, both in
San Francisco and Oakland, and, if
time permits, will hold a meeting in
Portland.
He declares that the object of his
journey is to spread the fundamental
doctrines of the Prison Reform league,
which, as he teaches them, are that the
spirit of revenge should be eliminated
from the treatment of criminals, So
ciety's true function being merely to
protect itself by restraint so long as
restraint is necessary for self-defense,
and then to improve his position by re-
storing him to panionship with his
fellows a better and more useful c1tl-
zen. The colonel is also an insistent
advocate of the principle that it should
never be to the financial interest of
one man to put another in jail.
young as this movement Is" said
Colonel Griffith. much good has been
accomplished already. I believe that,
thanks to it, the more brutal forms OF
punishment that blot the histories OF
San Quentin and Folsom have been
discontinued, and that a more humane
regime Is now in force. But, If l am
to Judge by our correspondence, the
same cannot e said of other parts of
the coast, to say nothing of the coun-
try at large.

armed men shot down by an armed
guard of political appointment is so
brutal that it needs no comment TO
show it's atrocity.
at do not know the details as yet
OF this particular case, but parallel
illustrations of the tigerish attitude OF
guards to their helpless charges could
be easily culled from the life of many

Beside the Gate of Dreans,

An idle youth one Summer day.
Went wandering afeld--
Nor cast or west on any quest
That eye or thought revealed
But on and on through bloom and shine,
And down by shady streams,
Through lane and wood until he stood
Beside the Gate Of Dreams.
What saw he there? Nay. rather ask
What saw he not and heard,
Hath mind perceived? Hath heart re-
Ceived2
Hath soul been deeply stirred
BY radiant things BY whispcrings
From better lands? II seems
All these NE saw and heard in awe
Beside the Gate of Dreams
What brought him back that summer day
From wandering afrld?
Naught he can show OF tell. | know
OF things on earth revealed
But more than gold, a million fold
And all the world esteems
He holds the day he strayed away
Hasida the Cate 81 dreams,
