NEW YORK STRIKING
EXPRESS DRIVERS RIOT
Jersey City Troops Under Orders to
March If Strike Gets Beyond
Police Control.

New York, Oct. 29.-The state
troops of New Jersey have been or
dered to be ready to march into Jer'
sey City, in event the express strike,
which continues to spread, passes be-
yond the control of the police.
The most serious clash yet in the
strike took place when a determined
mob swooped down on eight wagons
leaving the Wells-Fargo stables in Jer-
sey City. Scores of persons were in
jured and many knocked into uncon-
seriousness before the police finally
quelled the riot.
Sixteen seriously injured strike
breakers were placed in a wagon and
ferried across the Hudson river to the
Hudson street hospital in Manhattan.
The first outbreak of violence in
this city took place at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street.
There were some $50 strikers and
their sympathizers gathered at the
corner when an American Express
company's wagon drove up. The mob
surged forward. They pelted the
drivers with stones and grabbed the
reins.
Two policemen rushed at the mob
and succeeded in driving them back
as the express drivers turned their
team about and galloped the horses
back to the stable. There they aban-
doned the outfit.
Shortly after the first attack an
other took place at the corner Of
Madison avenue and Forty-second
street. The driver of this team saw
the crowd rushing toward him, hurl-
ing rocks and brickbats as they came.
Without a moments hesitation he
pulled his horses toward the sidewalk
and fled.

by the cyclone, tidal wave and erup-
lions of Mount Vesuvius and Mount
Epomeo. Known deaths are reported

Thousands of persons are homeless
and the most serious problem now is
to provide shelter, food and drinking
water. The movement of supplies is
difficult because in many places the
roads have been washed out and made
impossible. Fortunately the majority
Of the towns requiring aid can be ap.
preached from the sea.
Cyclone Has Three centers.
The disaster appears to have come
in the form of cyclone, having three
centers, the first over the island of
Ischia, the second over the town of
Tore del Greco on the east coast Of
the Bay of Naples, and the third sweep
ing the gulf of Salerno.
Accompanying the cyclone were a
cloudburst, tidal wave and violent
eruptions from Mount Vesuvius and
from the crater suddenly opened on the
summit of the long extinct Mount Epo-
meo on the island of Ischia.
Ischia and the adjacent islands suf-
fered most.

|. c. LOSES TAX CASE
STATE OF ILLINOIS IS VICTOR
OVER RAILROAD UNDER DEcl.
SION BY HIGH COURT.
OVERRULES LINE DEMURRER
Case Goes to La Sale County Court
to Be Heard on Merits-Action
Based on Findings of Accountants
That Reports Had Been Changed.

Springfield, ILL.,. Oct. 29.-The state
of Illinois won a decided victory when
the supreme court handed down it's
long decision in the Illinois
Central tax case. The state won every
important contention with the excep-
ton that the opinion holds the &C.
counts prior to 1905 have been &C.
cepted by the state and payment made
thereon, and that therefore they are
not subject to further inquiry.
But for the future settlements and
for the settlement of all accounts since
Governor Deneen came into office, the
court lays down hard and fast rules
for accounting by which the state will
reap reward Of 100000 year more
in taxes than it has been receiving
from the Illinois Central Railroad
company.
Governor Deneen's Action Upheld.
When the Illinois Central rendered
its first payment under Governor De-
mems administration he accepted the
money with the understanding the &C.
counting upon which the money was
rendered was subject to revision. This
act on the part of the governor, the
court holds, makes all transactions
with the road during his administra-
ton subject to further accounting.
The court remands the case to the
circuit court of La Sale county, with
instructions to proceed in accordance
with the views of its opinion. Unless
the railroad accepts the courts de-
cision as final, the circuit court of
La Sale county will no doubt appoint
a master to go into all the details of
the accounting since 1905, and the case
may be prolonged indefinitely. At
present the railroad is paying approx
mately 100000 to the state every
year.
Three Opinions Filed.
The opinion handed down is said to
be the longest and most comprehen.
sive ever recorded by the court. A
peculiar feature is that three separate
opinions are filed, all reaching the
same conclusions, but by different
routes. The majority opinion was
written by Justice Carter.
1t is the contention of Governor De-
neen that for thirty-three years the
railroad has been milking" the state
through its system of accounting for
gross earnings, on which it is required
under it's charter to pay to the state
in lieu of other taxes.
Governor Brings Charges.
The suit against the Illinois Central
was filed early in December, 1907, by
the attorney general, following mes
sage from Governor Deneen to the
legislature, declaring that the road
had been so manipulating it's accounts
as to credit millions of it's earnings
to the non-charter lines, not subject
to the tax of seven per cent Later
accounting swelled the amount which
Governor Deneen declared the road
owed to the state from $5,OOO,0OO to
$15,00O,00O.

FIRE IN VICTORIA
FLAMES SPREAD PATH OF ASHES
THROUGH BUSINESS SECTION
OF CITY.
LOSS WILL BE EXTENSIVE
Blazing craft in Harbor Present Strik.
ina Picture Out of Darkness.-ln-
adequate Fire Fighting
Brigade.

Victoria, British Col. - Fire which
started in early and burned until long
after midnight swept through the heart
of the city's business section, wiping
out several of the finest buildings and
causing a loss roughly estimated at
from $1,5OO,OOO to s2,OOO.0O0. Huge
firebrands foated the water front,
which swept toward the water front,
and it was with great difficulty that the
firemen, aided by the militia and the
garrison at Work Point barracks, kept
the flames from sweeping broad path
to the waters edge.
Many blazing embers were carried
out over the water, endangering the
shipping in the harbor. Several un-
protected pleasure yachts caught fire
and burned like floating beacons in the
bay.
The fire started in the department
store of David Spencer & Co., Limited,
one of the largest retail establish
ments in Victoria. Famed by high
wind, the flames spread with alarming
rapidity.
The recently organized fire brigade
found itself unable to cope with the
conflagration and the troops were
called out.
Soldiers not only aided in keeping
order among the frightened, half clad
crowds, but managed the fire appar-
atus and helped the fire brigade COM
bat the flames. I
Among the buildings burned were
the Times Office and Five Sisters build
ing, five-story Office block. The five
story Pemberton building and the Dri-
ard hotel were threatened. but both
were saved. The hotel, however, was
badly scortched, sustaining loss of
$4,000. All the guests were turned
into the streets, many of them leaving
without stopping to save their effects.
The telephone system was put out
of commission and the city light sys-
tenn was endangered.
No fatalities have ben reported, al.
though several of the firemen were
badly hurt by falling falls and many
people had thrilling experiences.
The district burned was in the heart
of the retail section. 1t includes all
the buildings between Government and
Broad streets, extending from Fort
street to the alley back to Trounce
avenue.
In the square bounded by Broad,
Fort, Government streets and Trounce
avenue, only those buildings facing
Trounce avenue escaped destruction.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof
fee contains a drug-cdfeine- which is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when l was child in my moth

things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals /
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
And SO l contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub.
stitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. Tha. was
