MORE TRAINS ON COAST LINES.
San Bernardino Expects Wonders of
Western Santa Fe

San Bernardino. Cal, MAY so.-It
mas been practically definitely decid-
ed that the completion Of the Fuller
ton-Richfeld cutoff VIII see the in
auguration of another passenger train
each way between San Bernardino
and Los Angeles, via Riverside and
that short line.
The Santa Fe desires to cut into the
enormous early morning traffic from
riverside over the Salt Lake, and is
now arranging TO place the additional
Train, TO leave San Bernardino about s
a. m and reach Los Angeles probably
az o:15- The time, it is understood,
mas not as yet been set for either the
departure at San Bernardino or the ar
rival In Los Angeles, although it is
desired that the train reach the lat
ter city about s o'clock, after a run
probably Of two hours and a Quarter
from san Bernardfno. 1t is believed,
with the distance reduced approxi-
mately to 40 miles via Riverside, prac-
ucally the same time can be main
Ialned as over the 60-mile run via
Pasadena
In an effort to have the cut-on in
service within 80 days or less a steel
laylng gang is now being organized at
RlehneId to lay the rail on the four
and a half miles. Practically all the
material is on hand with the excep-
lon or bolts, the lack of which is now
delaying the work, though it is anticf
pated that there will be an early start
on the work, which is to be rushed to
ompletion
When the return trip will be sched-
uled TO leave Los Angeles has not been
decided, it is said. The inauguration
OF service over the cutoff will mean a
complete Encouragement of the trains

FISH IS The MAN.
He 1t Is Who Received Roosevelt Let
ter Making Insurgents Glad.

Washington, May 30.-The house in
/ surgents are feeling that they are sure
now OF the support of Theodore Roosa-
I welt for their cause when the ex-nre,:i
Gent snail return to the United States.
/ Roosevelt had always shown syrupat hy
Ior the fight they were making and in
view of the developments of the lasr
rev months they had hoped that when
ne should return to this country his
influence would be thrown on their
side ~ Incl
In various ways their views had been
! laid before the ex-president. and infor-
| nation that has reached the Insurgents
from time TO time since Roosesa1t
reached Europe has all gone 10 bI,iI5
up the belief among the Insurgents that
Roosevelt VIII so conduct his political
movements on his return to this co1Ir
try as to benefit their cause They
nave 1eit that If he should join the
otner side on the theory Of marty
solidarity he could come nearer n
crushing them than all the other in
huenees the regulars could summon
against them
Accordingly. after it became known
that Senator Root had written hir, a
letter almost as big as a book setting
1orth the side of the reactionarfes- Il
occurred to some of the insurgents that
they ought to lay some facts before
roosevelt before his arrival in America
Hamilton Fish Of New York. who has
long been the ex-president's personal
friend in social way, wrote a 1O-page
letter on behalf of the insurgents. The
answer came and the Insurgents ar
once became enthusiastic
Fish has shown the letter to several
OF the insurgents and told the contents
to others. The following is possibly nor
an exact copy, being made from
memory by one who saw the letter. but
It Is not far from exact and gives the
general facts correctly. The letter saws:
You know what my position has
oeen on most progressive questions I
nave not changed them since left the
United States 1 will be glad to see
you and your committee upon NV ar
rival in America
II is hardly necessary to say that the
insurgents will be represented at tho
homecoming of the distinguished citi-
zen
More comfort for the insurgents is
found in the announcement that Roose-
welt had accepted an invitation to he

EXPECTS To FIND A HOLE
Naval Officials Believe the Dewey
Was Tempered With.

Manila, May 3o.-Further examina-
ton of the United States dry dock
Dewey which is partly submerged at
Olongapo in Subig bay, has strength
ened the belief of those of the navy
who have held that the damage was
done deliberately by band of con-
Sp1ratorS against the government
However, II is now learned that the
valves had not been opened as first
declared. though they were found to
have been leaking little. This leak
age would not have caused the trou-
bic and the dock sank more rapidly
than would have been the case had
all the valves been opened and no
other opening made
Accordingly the experts believe that
large hole will be found in the port
side or bottom of the dock. 1t is
probable that the mystery will not be
cleared until the dock has been raised.

STOCK WORTH OVER SIS. 900.
Santa Fe Transfers Six Carloads With
Much Care

Las Vegas. n. NJ, May 30.-One of
the most valuable consignments of
stock that has passed through Las
Vegas in many months. was six car
loads of mules, which were fed at the
stock yards here. There were 1877 of
the animals and their value totaIea
$4,000 The mules were being taken
to the San Francisco market A num-
Der of the mathematicaIly inclined
persons who saw the carIoad of mules
figured out the kicking power of the
bunch 1t was decided if one mule can
kick barn door off its hinges with
two kicks, the 137 in the cars, should
they all kick at once, would generate
enough power to propel one of the
stock cars UP a steep hill a mile long.

Are Not Robbers.
The express companies are not
robbers. They are not trying to hold
up the people. The success of their
business depends on the wealth and
prosperity Of the people The COM
panfes want to do the right thing. They
want to, and are giving, the people
of Kansas good service. The COM
panies are ready and willing to do
anything in their power to better their
service. and to increase their value to
the business people and the farmers
They stand ready to make any reas-
enable reductions in their rates which
the commission may order, but they
can not allow the commission to ruth
lessly slash their tariffs.
Express tariffs the same as rail-
road freight rates have been studied
for years for the purpose of fixing
reasonable rates. which will neither be
a burden to the people nor allow the
companies to declare extraordinary
dividends. 1t would not be right for
the companies to sit by and see the
tariffs butchered. As far as 1 know
the people have made no general out
cry against oppression by the express
companies.
Battle to Finish.
We are going to meet the railroad
commission before the supreme court
and We are going to win our fight for
the very simple reason that no court
under the sun would allow such un-
Just, unreasona BILE and ruinous reduc-.
tons to stand. Some of the reduc-
tons are within reason and in line
with our policy of trying to do the
right thing we shall make no contest.
but on others we will go right on
fighting to the bitter end
While Attorney Smith did not saw
that the case would be taken to the
federal courts it is certain that the
express companies will make such a
move if they are beaten in the state
supreme court
