AGAINST INCREASED RATES

Are Making Money

CHICAGO, May 16.-The fight being
made by associations of manufacturers
and shippers against the proposed ad-
vances in freight rates began its pre-
liminary stage today with the meeting
of the executive committee of the as
sociated shippers publicity bureau. E
e. Williamson. chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. submitted figures
brought down to last March to show
that the railroads are:
First-Making a profit of more than
70 cents on every train for every mile
run.
Second-That the net incomes of the
railroads per mile for 1907-upon the
showing of which year the roads base
their demand for increased rates-ex-
ceeded the net income for 1897 by
1884, an increase of 345 per cent.
Third-The net income of all the rail-
roads of the country for 1907, after pay
ing all expenses, including interest on
bonds, was $440, ,462.1SS.

.CREEL'S BANK ORDERED
TO PAY TEXANS $4,000
Gave Money in Escrow to Land
Owners Although Deal
Was Called Off

Ell PASO, Tex, May 16.-In the dis
trict court here today Judge A. M.
Walthall granted a judgment for 4O,O0O
in favor of Harry Masterson and }. g.
Ross of Houston, Tex, against the
Banco de MinerO of Chihuahua, Mex
leo. the president of which is Enrique
Creel, former ambassador from Mexico
to the United States and the present
minister of foreign relations of Mexico.
The allegations were that the plain
tiffs closed a deal with Alberto Ter
razas, a brother-in-law of Creel and
president of the Juarez Jockey club, for
a tract of land, and deposited S4O,OO0
earnest money in CreePs bank, but
that the land proved not to be as rep
resented. The deal was called off by
the Texans, but Terrazas was allowed
to take the earnest money, anyhow.
The bank cashier testified that Ter
razas threatened to take the money
with the aid of rurales if it was not
paid, but the prosecution showed that
Creel. president of the bank, was then
governor and was the only man with
power to order out the rurales.

FELLOW CONVICT PREVENTS
WIRTH FROM KILLING SELF
ToppIing Chair AWakens Prisoner
as Murderer Steps Off

SAN QUENTIN, May 16.-Wearying
of waiting for the time set for his
execution, Earnest Wirth, wife muir
derer sentenced from Los Angeles,
wove rope from strips of pillowcase
early yesterday and attempted to hang
himself from a cleverly contrived scat
fold in his cell in the condemned row.
The topping of a chair upon his
sleeping cell mate was all that pre-
vented his plan from being a success.
D. Treachenko, condemned for killing
girl in San Francisco, occupied the
lower bunk. Awakened by the chair
falling upon him, he looked up to see
his fellow convict dangling from the
ceiling. He.hel him up until his cries
attracted Sergeant Dolliver who en-
tered the cell and cut Wirth down in
time to save his life.
Wirth has been brooding over his
approaching execution since he entered
San Quention on April 80. His eXecu-
tion is set for June II.

Immigration BARS UP
At SAN FRANCISCO
North Says Records Disprove the
Charge That He Is Admit
ting Sick 0rientaIS

WASHINGTON, May 16.-"See the
record; 1 rest my case on that" was
the reply made today by Hart H.
North, commissioner of immigration
at san Francisco, when his attention
was called to the action of the Asiatic
Exclusion league of San Francisco in
nstructing its executive committee to
make formal complaint against Mr..
North and to charge him with violat-
ing the laws in giving entry to dis
eased orientals.
The record alluded to by Mr.. North
was the April statement from the i'm
migration bureau, which showed the
number of aliens admitted at San Fran
cisco was 375, While those debarred
amounted to 169 percentage of 81
debarred. said Mr.. North.
He pointed out that in this respect
San Francisco was ahead of New York,
where the percentage debarred was less
than per cent.
Mr.. North intimated he might have
something more to say when he saw
a copy of the charges.

Gently purchased another building
across the street, where the records
were kept.
A stiff wind was blowing at the
time of the fire, threatening other
buildings. The conhagration was out
before midnight.
The fire, believed to be of incendiary
origin, was discovered in the rear of
the county buildings, and before the
alarm could be given the flames had
enveloped the supervisors room and
the offices of the district attorney and
county surveyor. Sheriff Cook and his
deputies barely had time to rescue the
single occupant of the Jail before it
burst into flame. Ashes and burning
cinders were blown throughout the
city, and at one time the Episcopal
church and other neighboring build
ings were on fire. but these blazes were
speedily extinguished. The condition
of the currency in the treasurer's safe

DENVER ON OR OFF THE
WATER WAGON TODAY

DENVER, May 16.-Whether Den
yer shall become anti-saloon territory
will be decided at tomorrow's muni-
cipal election, as will the question of
granting a new franchise for twenty
Years to the Denver Union Water
company.
In addition to these questions a
number of amendments to the city
charter will be voted upon, including
the proposition of a municipal court
and a proposition to increase saloon
licenses from $500 to $1,000 and limiting
the number that shall be issued to one
for every 700 inhabitants. This would
reduce the number of licenses to about
25O, less than a fourth of the present
number.

NEW YORK, May 16-New York So
clety ordinarily is credited with bowling
low in devotion before Mammon, yet 1t is
possible. says no lesser an authority
than Harry Lehr that former Senator
William A. Clark and his beautiful wife
have gone a step too far and will find
society somewhat reluctant to accept
their hospitality.
Beau Lehr's dictum followed the an
nouncement that the Clarks propose to
open their palace in Fifth avenue June
l. and that the structure, which cost
$1,000 900 to build and Sc. 900, 900 more to
furnish, will be started off with
''house warming" to which all of society
real society, you know-will be bid
den.
VOYAGE OR COIN
Mrs Clark is not now in society, but
she is said to have planned a voyage
right into the holy of holies on plc-
tolian flood from the Golfers of her
multi millionaire husband. However,
$6,000,000 for furniture Is little strong
even for New York, and there is
question, it seems. whether the voyage
will prove a success.
Lehr, when asked about 1t, had sew
eral epigrams to perpetrate. and con-
cluded with: my word. think of knock
ing over vase casting $4,000! They
have one, you Know. Why, would De

FEARS GROUNDLrSS
Mr. Lehr's fears, however, probably
are groundless Doubtless his hostess
would be proud to have her rarest
vawze destroyed, If only the iconoclast
chanced to be so distinguished a wine
agent as the redoubtable Harry.
Work was begun upon the Clark
palace about ten years ago, its owner
giving the architects full power to do
their best and most expensive work.
Since then the structure has caused
more comment than any other palace
ever erected anywhere in the world for
a private individual. Comment has not
been kindly In most instances, but Mr..
Clark has gone ahead, needless of crit
icism and careless OF opinion. He has
poured out in all $13,00O,0OO and the
palace is now complete inside and out.

SCORES OF CHINESE BEING
SMUGGLED ACROSS LINE
Steady Stream Flows Into San
Diego from Ensenada

SAN DIEGO, May 16.-A constant
stream of Chinese is pouring into the
United States, via Ensenada, Lower
California, about ninety miles south
of San Diego, says the San Diego
Union this morning. According to the
Union. zone hundred and nine Chinese
have been landed since May 1 at En-
senada, and it is believed most of these
have made their way across the bor-
der. At the low estimate of 5000 a
head, this number would represent
$21 800 to the American and Mexican
smugglers engaged in running them
across the line. Chinese who land at
Ensenada come from points farther
south, and it is obvious that when they
reach Ensenada they do not later take
the back track"

NEW YORK, May 16.-Jack Tower,
the mechanic who was injured at the
Brighton Beach twenty-hour automo-
bile race early Sunday will probably
recover, according to the hospital sur

this month. 1t Is estimated that over
10000 paid for admission during the
race. Fully 5000 motor cars were
parked inside the grounds.
