FIGHT IN THE STEERAGE
ABOARD AN OCEAN LINER
Shooting ARRAY Results in The
Serious Wounding OF a
PASSENGER.

NEW YORK. De> ,mber 9.-Passengers
on the steamer voltaire, which arrived
today from Rio de Janeiro and other
Brazilian ports, witnessed an exciting
shooting afrray among the steerage pas
sengers last Saturday while the steamer
was on the high seas, in which Assoun
Mancour. a Turk, was shot and painfully
wounded.
Both Attack the Turk.
The Voltaire's officers said the first sign
Of trouble was observed when Maria Scar
70, wife of one of the steerage passengers.
began talking excitedly to her husband
near the foot of the steerage stair way.
Then, those who witnessed the ARRAY say,
the husband drew a pistol and his wife
a knife, and attacked Mancour. who was
standing nearby. In the fracaS the Turk
was shot through the neck. The crew
and cabin passengers, attracted by the
commotion, stopped the quarrel before 1t
had resulted fatally, and the wounded
man was taken to the ships hospital,
where the ships surgeon extracted the
bullet.
Origin of the Trouble.
The affair is believed to have originated
from a complaint made to her husband
by Mrs Scarfo regarding remarks which
Mancour addressed to her.
The Voltaire, while docking at Santos,
struck the quay. The impact stove in
the bow, bent the stern and filled the
forepeak with water The leaks were
stopped with cement. Repairs will be
made here.

THE CAR SHORTAGE

Material development along all
lines has increased business more rap
idly than facilities have been in
creased for handling some lines OF
business, and this is felt especially
in shipping facilities. Cars that stand
idle in midsummer are in great de-
mand in autumn for moving crops
and. coal. In this part of the coun-
try the shipping of grain, beets and
potatoes from the farmers and coal
from the mines makes a car famine
and is likely to be felt again this fall.
The railroad companies transfer
cars from one part of the country to
another to suit the demand as near
~ as possible, but because the farm
ers and stock men do not furnish es-
Inmates of the number of cars need
ed in advance of their orders for cars,
the officials of the railroads have to
base their estimates for this year on
what last years business showed,
and each year witnesses changes that
modify the needs greatly. Last year
the Oregon Short Line hauled a great
number of empty cars from the Mis-
souri, valley in anticipation of heavy
traffic on their lines, and the Low
prices of potatoes, rains and heavy
hauling for wagons and other things
affecting the shipping business, made
it necessary to haul back fifteen hun
bred refrigerator cars empty that
were not used at all
At resent most of the refrigerator
cars are in use earring fruit in other
parts of the country, and shippers
will be- expected to use box cars for
early shipments of potatoes. Up to
about the goth or 25th of October
not many refrigerators will be here
FOR use, but after that time they will
be ready for this trade. Shippers will
be asked to line cars with building
paper or straw as safeguard against
frost as the weather grows cooler
Until refrigerators can be furnished.
rhe Short Line has purchased 1000
lew refrigerators for use this sea-
on.

An exhibit of especial merit which

very interesting and valuable, even
fascinating articles on the west, and
during the summer have devoted con-
siderable space to special write-ups
of the Upper Snake river valley, the

in very finely written article in the

In recognition of their worth and
their valuable service to the locality,
the management of the fair associa-
ton granted them space free in Floral
hall for their exhibit, and a very at
tractive booth was fitted up in which
to display their magazines and the
special premiums which they are Civ
ing to introdifce their publication.
With each subscription they give a
set of every rich hand painted china,
for $780, the years subscription be-
ing added free.
Their main office is in Salt Lake
City, and they are just opening an
other one In Boise. The work is I'M
der direction of A. w. Gallagher,
manager. and they have a number of
the best writer's in the west. Their
work covers reclamation and&dry

TURNS DOWN 5000, 900 JOB

Wouldn't it be a nice thing for
the predatory interests if Theodore
Roosevelt had accetped the offer of
| the presidency OF Minnesota univer-
sity, formally made to him by Frank
r. Kellogg while the former president
was in st. Paul to speak at the con-
servation congress and state fair?
OF course, the former president has
turned down the proposition. A SAL
airy of 100000 a year didn't appeal
t. him sfor minute. According to
| the story told in the corridor of the
st. Paul hotel, where President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt were guests,
Mr. kellogg, the st Paul lawyer,
whom Roosevelt selected as his
trust buster" told the former presi-
dent that If he would accept the
presidency of the University of Min
nesota it would at once receive an
endowment fund OF $4,000, 900,
which is within few millions of the
amount John d. Rockefeller has be-
slowed upon the University of Chi.
cago. But the former president
couldn't see it. He considers that he
has work cut out for him. And there
is the matter OF the presidency of the
United States at a salary of $4,000
a year.
1t is understood that James ]. Hill,
the grand old man of the north
west is the one who would supply
the $3O,OO0,00O providing Mr. Roose-
welt would take the presidency. Mr.. |
Hill has great wisdom and he knows
that no man could bride the Roose-
Welt tongue, so it is not apparent that
he was scheming to get Roosevelt out
OF the fight on the interests in
Offering to give him the presidency of
Minnesota's great university.
Mr.. Hill and the former president
are great friends. OF course, it is
natural that man who is at the
head Of great railroad organization
would not agree with some of the
policies OF Colonel Roosevelt, but as
man to man they like each other.
After shaking hands with James Will
son, secretary Of agriculture the first
man Roosevelt recognized when hel
stepped on the platform to speak at
the conservation congress was Mr.
Hill. Their handshake was hearty
and both smiled their pleasure att
meeting again. 1t was the first time
he veteran railroad builder had seen
Colonel Roosevelt since the lion hunt
'r returned from the ungles in Africa
