he handed the conductor, directing the
engineer to go ahead regardless of
the express.
Isaac Lewis merely inquired if they
thought he looked like a fool, and de.
clined to bulge.
Neither persuasion nor threats
availed, and when Mr.. Minot at length
ordered him down from his engine
and took his place as engineer, he
went instantly to the last seat of the
rear a and sat there, tensely await
ing the head-on collision which did
not happen.
By repeating his telegraphic orders
and inquiries, Minot ran the train
through to Port Jarvis, and saved two
hours, a result which soon led to the
announcement that all trains on the
Erie road thereafter would move un-
der Geographic orders.
The engineers, under Lewis lead,
protested at the crazy risk but they
had to yield.

A National Scandal.

Kansas City Star.
| The charges made by Representa-
tive Herbert Parsons of New York
concerning the deal by which Speaker
Cannon got Democratic help in his
rules fight last March, emphasizes the
point that was repeatedly made at the
time that the speakers victory was
a national scandal. Parsons isn't
given to wild statements. He is chair
man Of the New York Republican
county committee, a close personal
friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and a
man of progressive tendencies, though
not a rules insurgent.
His assertion is that a deal was
consummated at Albany by which
Democratic votes were given to the
speaker in exchange for a pledge that
the Republican legislative leaders
would kill certain bills obnoxious to
Tammany. These bills provided for
better election laws and SO would
have j~eopardizes the control of New
York city by Mr.. Murphy's organiza-
ton, which always relies more or less
on crooked elections.
The records sustain the charges to
this extent. That eight Democrats
from New York city bolted the party
caucus and voted with Cannon on the
rules, fight; and that the election bills
in question were killed by the CO.
operation of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in the New York legislature.
Besides there was a mass of indirect
evidence that is often conclusive to
the persons acquainted with it.
Nobody in Washington at all "a
miliar with. the situation doubted that
there was a deal that defeated the
efforts Of Murdoch, Madison and the
other insurgents to correct the rules.
1t was known, for instance, that the
Tammany representatives were in
constant communication with New
York by long distance terephone. The
Congressional Record proved the col
fusion between the speaker and Rep
resentative Fitzgerald, who was Sc
lected to offer the dummy amend
ments to the rules. Before FITZGERALD
had announced the purpose for which
he rose, Cannon gave the information
to the house. Later it leaked out that
there had been some sort of a deal
made at Albany for the suppression
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1909-10-22

OF legislation in exchange for the
votes that saved Cannon. Presumably
Parsons has obtained more definite
information on a subject that was a
matter of common gossip at the cap
itol.
In reply the speaker protests that
the New York county chairman has a
grievance. Which is about all the
defense that the situation admits of.
Cannon is a national disgrace.
Doesn't it pass understanding that
decent men will permit party discip-
line and fear of punishment to force
them from the support without which
his power would crumble?.

Some Early Railroading.
Youths Companion.


Youths Companion.
In the early days of railroading
says Mr.. Charles Frederick Carter in
his recent interesting volume. when
Railroads Were New the engineer
was the autocrat of his train. and
naturally conservative, as autocrats
commonly are. He seldom welcomed
An innovation. even one as simple as
the bell cord, first invented by Con.
ductor Henry Ayers in 1912. Previ-
ousiy there had been no means of
communication between the engine
and the moving train.
Conductor Ayers rugged up a cord
passing through the ears with a stick
tied to the end that hung down in
the engine, and told his engineer that
when he saw that stick jerk up and
down he was to stop. But Jacob Har-
mel, who ran that engine, was a slow,
steady, obstinate German, with a
n of his own dignity, and he con
sidered the jerking stick an intrusive
impertinence.
He quietly cut it loose and tied up
the cord.
The next day he repeated the per-
Torrance.
The third day Ayers told him he
would leave that stick and obey it's
signals or he, Ayers, would know the
reason why.
1t was again cut loose, and at the
first stop Ayers, with fire in his eye,
yanked the indignant Harnel from his
engine and, after a tough fight, thor
oughly thrashed him.
The primitive stick was soon re-
placed by a bell, and the device was
complete.
Engineer Isaac Lewis rebelled with
equal vigor against the first attempt
to u a train by Geographic orders,
at a time when the telegraph, then
In its infancy, was still SO little used

INJUNCTION To
STOP PAYMENT
x-CoMMISsIONER STRUTHERS
BEGINS SUIT IN SUPERIOR
COURT TODAY.
Would Not Let the County Pay the
Salaries of Fruit Inspector and
His Assistants.

Injunction proceedings to prevent
the paying Of money for inspection of
fruit in this country, were started this
afternoon in the superior court by
George otruthers, who recently wrote
the commissioners that he intended
to do so, having secured the services
OF Attorneys Rupp and Bryson for this
purpose Following the filling, tenn
porary injunction will be secured
pending the final hearing on the ap-
plication for permanent one.
This suit is the outcome Of some
former remarks of Mr.. Struthers, who
in writing the commissioners said, that
if warrants were issued to County
Fruit Inspector Whitney or his dep
uties, he would bring proceedings in
court to prevent the payment of them.
The effects of this can not be pre-
dicted as yet, but it is known that at
a recent meeting of the Commercial
,lub they endorsed the proposition OF
Mr.. Whitney of having deputy fruit
inspectors during the fruit season and
further, guaranteed a part of their
salary. the intention being to clean
up this valley and rid it of the scale
and disease that keeps its quality
down.

resigned to his fate. That he will walk
calmly up the steps to the trap door,

Nicolus will be the first Filipino
ever hanged at the local prison, and
the first man to be executed since

the Importance of the situation, and
knows that he may expect no assist
ance from friends on the outside. With
an appetite as regular as though he
were at liberty, and with his hours of
sleep as restful as might be desired,
Nicolus might be said to be enjoying
his last days on earth.
Only small number of spectators
will be permitted to witness the execu-
ton, which will take place some time
during the forenoon on the scaffold
which has been erected in the prison
yard near the buildings. Newspaper

two or three weeks been source of
wonder to those who have been at
tending the prisoner.

double murder, which was committed

According to the statements made
by Chief Engineer +. L. Pitman while
giving testimony in the federal court
in the condemnation proceedings
brought by the North Coast against
the Great Northern railroad several
days ago, this road will build 100 miles
of track this year. The contract for
the construction of the Columbia river
bridge calls for it's completion by Oc-
tober 1 and following it's completion
100 miles of steel will be laid on the
Yakima line to connect with this
bridge.
The actual right-of-way already pur-
chased by this concern is about 213
miles between Spokane and North va

finished for a distance of 60 miles.

CITY ENGINEER WAS
EARLY IN THE FIELD

Today, under the provisions Of the
direct primary law, is the first day of
the period in which declarations OF
candidacy may be filed by aspirants for
city offices, and from April 15 to May
Is such declarations may be filed with
the city clerk.
City Engineer L. w. Loehr was the
first man to file this morning, and is
afforded ample time in which to make
his campaign in case there is compe-
tition. Mr.. Loehr filed as republican
candidate.
There is little stir in the political
pot of the city, and but little talk is
heard on the streets. However, it is
quite probable that all offices will be
represented at the primaries by full
contingent of office seekers, and the city
clerk is preparing for the extra work
that will be occasioned by the num-
erous declarations. Chief of Police
Mike Davis was second in line this
