The Eveleth Commercial Club at
meeting Tuesday evening made
formal protest to the state senate
against the passage of the tonnage
tax measure. Every Commercial
body on the range should join in
this movement, for although the
tonnage tax measure as PASSED by
the house does not do away with
the ad valorem system of taxation
there can be little question that the
measure would tend to retard the
mining industry of northern Min
nesota and indirectly affect every
business interest on the ranges.
This danger would be enhanced by
the placing of iron ore on the free
list, as it would mean the early de-
velopment Of the vast proven ore
deposits of Canada to the detriment
of this section.

INTRUDER
AND is ASSAULTED
Man Who Reported That He Was
Bound and Gagged by Burglar
Tells Police of Another
Adventure

Carl Schultze, who reported to the
police April 10 that he was bound,
gagged and tied to his bed in his room
at $40 South Grand avenue by des-
nerate burglar who ransacked the room
while Schultze was powerless TO help
himself, has again appeared in the lime
light of notoriety, this time with re-
mort to the police of a thrilling adyen-
ture early yesterday morning. Schultze
was found fast asleep in vacant lot
at Sixteenth and Georgia streets at b
o'clock yesterday morning by Patrol-
man d. l.. Craig, and as result OF MS
tale to the officer the detectives are
making Investigations.
According to the story of Schultze,
who remained in his room yesterday
because he claimed he was too weak 10
go to work, he was awakened by a
noise made by some one trying to I'M
lock the door to his room. Not know
ing what to do, Schultze remained IN
his bed for several minutes and then
nerved himself to get up and turn on
the light. The noise at the door ceased
and Schultze went into the hall and
saw a man leaving the place. He be-
came more disturbed when he recog-
nized the intruder as being the same
person that entered his room April 10
and robbed the place after gagging
him.
SchultZe watched the IelloW anu saw
him walk down the street and stop at
the corner, where he remained about
half an hour. The man then left the
corner and came back and passed the
house, studying it intently.
This aroused Schultze's curiosity and
he decided to follow the mysterious per-
son, who seemed to have peculiar
manner of walking.
Accordingly Schultze drew on his
shoes, put on his coat on over his night
shirt, and not waiting to don his
trousers hurried out. of the room after
the man.
The mysterious stranger continued
down Tenth street with Schultze close
on his trail. They walked on to Geor-
sia street. The pursued man seemed TO
be making motions, and Schultze hesl-
tated The former then turned and
walked south on Georgia street
Schultze quickened his steps, and when
about to overtake the mysterious per-
son the latter stepped aside and struck
Schultze a heavy blow on the Jaw
knocking him to the sidewalk and rem
dering him unconscious.
From this time until he was aroused
by Patrolman Craig at o'clock yes
terday morning Sehultze says he does
not remember anything.

GIRL IS ASSAULTED
Young Maiden Found Unconscious,
Clothes Torn and Head Bloody.
Says She Was Attacked
by Two Men

Lying unconscious, bleeding profuse-
ly from a laceration on her head, her
clothing torn and disarranged, Neruda
Nelson, 10 years old, a schoolgirl liv-
ing at 96S East Fifty-third place, was
found in a vacant lot at F'ifty-fourth
street and Central avenue by James p.
HILBERT, $3.50 East Fifty-seventh street,
and ]. r. Holman and r. Milburn,
street car employees, at 1926 o'clock
Wednesday night The injured girl
was taken to Mrs. McKenna's sani-
tarium at Fifty-sixth street and Cen
trail avenue, where she was restored to
consciousness by physicians She stat
ed that she had been attacked by two
men shortly after she alighted from a
street car at Fifty-second street and
Central avenue.
According to the girls story, she had
been visiting friends and alighted from
a Central avenue car at Fifty-second
street at 9:15 o'clock. She crossed TO
the west side of the street, and while
passing an alley two men sprang from
the darkness and seized her. One of
the men held his hand over her mouth
to prevent an cutlery, and the other
grabbed her in his arms and together
the two men carried her to the vacant
lot at the southwest corner of Fifty
fourth street and Central avenue.
She was unable to get a good look at
her assailants, because of the manner
in which they carried her. The men
loosed their hold ON her when the va
cant lot was reached, and suddenly
one of the assailants struck her a
vicious blow on the head, knocking her
to the ground and rendering her uncon-
scious. From that time on until she
regained consciousness at the SANTA

SAYS ON ONE CHARGE
WAS TWICE ARRESTED
Lumber Dealer Accused of Nonsupport
of Wife Declares He Was
Subjected to lndig-
mites
Transdcts a General Bank
ing and Trust Business

Arrested twice on the same charge,
and having served a week in the Santa
Ana Jail, was the story told by Law
renee e. Carson, a Los Angeles lumber
dealer, in Police Justice Roses court
yesterday afternoon.
That his arrest was the result of
spite on the part of his wife, and that
he had been treated as a criminal, was
the story that Carson unfolded. Judge
Rose stated that Carson had not been
treated in the right manner and or
dered an investigation of the constable
who arrested him.
A week ago Monday Carson was ar
rested in barber shop on Central ave-
nue. charged with nonsupport of his
wife. He was taken to Santa Ana, as
the warrant had been issued in Orange
county. Yesterday morning another
warrant, charging Carson with miSde-
meanor, was issued and the prisoner
was brought to Los Angeles. 1t was
shown that the second warrant was
identical with the first. In unmistaka-
BILE language Police Justice Rose stated
that the treatment of Carson was I'M
just and allowed him to leave the court
on his own recognizance to appear for
trial Thursday. May 20.
Carson told the court that he had
been handcuffed and subjected to in
dignities ordinarily given to a criminal
who had committed serious crime.
The lumberman stated that he lived
at S3Oh Central avenue. He said he
had always provided for his wife and
that she had left him of her own &C
cord. She went to live with her moth
} err, and the husband stated that he
only desired to have his two children,
and attempted to get them. The result,
he said, was his arrest on a charge of
nonsupport.

an officer from Los Angeles brought me
to this court to answer to the same
charge I demanded an immediate trial
in Santa Ana, but they would not allow

MAY BE NECESSARY TO USE
DREDGE AT PORT SAN LUIS
United States Engineer Says Sand
Closes Channel to Govern
ment Barges

Captain A. A Fries, United States
engineer, who has been to Port san
Luis, says that sand has so filled the
channel that barges cannot reach the
rock quarries. He says there is a pos
sibility of the tide opening the channel
again, so that rock can be transported
to the breakwater, in which event the
work of construction can proceed.
During the inspection just completed
he noted that dredging would be nee
essary unless the channel opened WITHIN
a few months. The channel has been
closed before in the same way. 1t was
closed last season by the natural ero-
sion and silt deposits The tide has
heretofore opened it, and it is possible
that this natural relief will come again,
as it has in the past.
The government owns MORO rock,
and the only expense of getting rock
for the breakwater is getting the rock
to the breakwater.

FARMERS WANT OPIUM.
Singapore Producers Object to Cover
 mental Agitation Against 1t.

Singapore Producers Object to Govern
 mental Agitation Against 1t.
 Singapore, March 20.-A remarkable situation has arisen here. The Govern ment have placed a receiver in charge of an opium farm in consequence of arrears, amounting to $460.000. which the farmers say they cannot pay. In a recent petition to the government the farmers said that the sudden revi- val of the discussed law against the sale of opium in Chinese brothels. which are very numerous owing to the great excess of males over females. has re- duced their profits.
 The effects of the anti-opium- agita . tion and of the Straits Opium Commis- sion are an increased consumption of morphine and cocaine, and they claim that on grounds of equity they sh ould in view of the governments change of policy. The Government reply that they are carrying out the law existing at the time when the contract was made, that they are doing their utmost to prevent the importation of mor- phine and cocaine, and that they de- cline to grant remission from the ob- ligations of the contract.
 The government holds securities equal to a quarters revenue and may not suffer immediate loss, but the whole preventive work against opium smugglers has been hitherto done by the farmers and 1t will take a consid- erable time to organize a public pre- ventive service. In the meanwhile smuggling is likely to become rampant. More than half the revenue of the CO., lony Is derived from opium rents.

Yet within less than two years after his death and his entomb- ment in the lonely Matoppo Hills, near son, Cecil Rhodes closest friend. by efs Of cspa coloHy and and set hlmssIf to e scheme of the master mind of south Africa-the Cape to Cairo Railroad forward so rapidly that the delay oc-. casioned by the Boer war was part ly recovered. The main, line rom long, has been in-operation since 1897. and played no ihconsiderable part in the war which determined British as- tendency in South Africa.
 As to the line north from BuluWayo, its course has been altered consider ably from the original Rhodes plan. owing to the better knowledge of the surveys. Most of the variations are due, however, to the projecting and building of feeders to the main line. Thus a branch runs from Buluwayo Rhodesia. and thence 10 Beira, on the Portugese coast The main line also mas been deflected farther northwest rtSm rieh wanHi nRTei eoai fields and % tracts dis covered by Livingstone. The vaiua- ble copper mines 200 miles northwest of Victoria Falls have also been brought within the sch eme, and a mall roGte to this region was opened four years ago. Its growing network of feeders Is a natural development of the plan, and upon their survey and construction and consequent develop ment of the country the success of the main line will largely depend. The great Victoria Falls bridge. linked with the system in April. 1905, marked another great advance in the work.
 Perhaps the most important fact in regard to the recent progress of what, when completed. will be the longest railway in the world was the forma- ton last summer of the Cape to Cairo syndicate, which intends us soon as possible to push the main line on from Broken Hill. the present termi nus In Rhodesia, to a point on the frontier of the Congo State near May ba.
