HIGHER FARE PROPOSED
FOR RIDES ON PULLMANs

Chicago, July 18.-The manage
ments of the Hartman lines, the San
Pedro and the Western Pacific roads
are considering trying an experiment
of charging higher passenger rate in
Pullman cars than is charged in day
coaches. If it is decided to put this
new principle into effect, it will be
done all other trains between Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles and San
Francisco and on all trains between
Ogden and Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
The occasion for the change is to be
found in the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the Spokane
rate case, in which passenger fares be-
tween points named were reduced by
order of that body.
The conference was attended by E..
O. Mccormick, of the Hartman lines;
by S. A. Wann, vice president of the
San Pedro route. in charge of traffic,
and by e. L. Lomax, passenger traffic
manager of the Western Pacific. It
has not been decided what will be
done with respect to other Pullman
passengers on other portions Of the
road.

ON GRAND TRUNK ROAD


Montreal, July 19.On a prear-
ranged signal, the entire system Of the
Grand Trunk railway, having its ter
minals at Chicago and Portland Me-,
and having 1900 miles of tracks, was
tied up at $3.50 last night by general
strike. The men refused the com
pany's offer of an advance of approxi-
mately Is per cent and a promise OF
the standard wages prevailing on the
Canadian Pacific when its system Is
completed to the Pacific coast.
The total number Of men affected is
$500 trainmen and conductors on the
Grand Trunk and $50 on the Central
Vermont, from Montreal to New Lon
don, Conn. In addition. 5000 men en-
gagged in shop work will be temporarily
laid on.
The telegraph operators will not
strike with the trainmen and conduc-
tors. as had been promised.
Late last night the word from the
conference was that the wage dispute
will be referred to arbitration, with
the understanding that both sides will
accept the award.

No greater misconception Of any

the general idea Of the leper settle

by the land side.
Naturally the fear Of being isolated
at the settlement caused the natives
to thwart segregation. Generally l.
was done by secreting their afiicted.
yet there are instances OF lepers rs
ing violence to resist arrest. The ne
cessity Of severing ties OF the strong
est affection involved grief of the deep
est description. and many are the
cases of abnegation where the clean
have accompanied the affiicted to the
settlement to die there with them.
Then, too, by degrees there grew up
the belief among the natives that ter
rible mistakes OF diagnosis by the
physicians were consigning innocent
and helpless people to the living sepul-
cher. And as each year failed to eradi-
cate the disease as had been represent
ed. but still claimed its toll, the belief
became almost universal that a larger
proportion Of those committed were
sacrifices to the despotism and ig.
norance Of the white mans medical
science that boosted but could not
cure.
By degrees, as the government real.
lied the inability of the aflicted to
care for themselves. conditions were
improved. until finally the authorities
took entire charge OF the lepers, and
to-day the appropriations for the main
tenance and care of these wards are
most generous and exceed $125,OO0 an,
rually.

ndse Knapp's appointement has just
,,or made by the department. The
,,Dointment of Judge Knapp and Of
~ uabee are the results of CORE
,.ordonce between the United States
and Canada.
More than a year ago the subject
r,s broached in a letter from Mr.. Ma
hoo TO Judge Knapp. 1t was pointed
out that the increasing traffic between
,bo United States and Canada would
rsudpr full control over rates in the
rturp more difficult until joint action
v.s taken. 1t was realized that the
,cOuisition of Canadian terminals by
american roads and of American roads
and terminals by Canadian railways
mpsented ever-increasing difficulties.
f is not possible to compel railway
or express companies to establish joint
and through rates to and from points
in the two countries.
Present Procedure Unhandy.
The reasonableness of rates between
points in this country and points in
Canada also is a question of great i'm
Ortance to shippers. To determine
any question as to rates that may arise
it's necessary for the shipper to insti-
tute proceeding before the interstate
commerce commission and before the
Canadian railway commission, and
even then the result is uncertain. The
difficulty practically precludes any in
qury by existing tribunals into the
reasonableness of through rates, as ap-
piled to International traffic.
While no arrangements have been
perfected for the conference, 1t is
likely Chairman Knapp and Mr.. Mabee
will meet in Ottawa in August. 1t is
not improbable a subsequent confer
ence may be held in Washington.
" will be the aim OF the represeh-
auves of the two governments to
make it possible to submit a recon-

congress.

Is Returned by Jury in the Case of DR..
Robert Thompson.

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-Dr. Robert
Thompson, charged with the murder
of Eva Swan, was found guilty of muir
der in the second degree.
The body of Miss Swan, who had
died as the result of an operation, was
found two months ago buried under
the basement floor of a deserted cot
tage.
The jury's deliberations required but
an hour and twenty minutes Thomp-
son, or DIR. Grant, as he was known
at the hospital he conducted. was in
volved in the case by the statements
of Marie Messerschmfdt, a nurse in his
employ. The nurse testified that when
the girl died at the hospital following
a criminal operation, Thompson pack
ed the body into a trunk after cutting
off the feet and conveyed the trunk to
the vacant house which he had rented.
The body had been buried several
months before it was discovered
through the confession of a youth who
assisted at the burial.

ALL STOMACH MISERY ENDS.
No Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or
Dyspepsia Five Minutes Later.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from In
digestion, Dyspepsia out-of-order stom-
ach is merely a matter of how soon
you begin taking some Diapepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in digest
i've power. why not help the stomach
to do its work, not with drastic drugs,
but a reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump Of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, Sour risings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi-
gested food, Headaches. Dizziness or
Sick Stomach, and besides. what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour,out-
of-orders stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five minutes after
taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a 80
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now, and
you will always go to the table with
a hearty appetite. and what you eat
will taste good. because your stomach
and intestines will be clean and fresh.
and you will know there are not 60
ing to be any more bad nights and mis-
cradle days for you. They freshen You
and make you feel like life is worth
living.

Uncle Sam May Be Forced to Start Up
the MINIS.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Treasury officials
may have to change their minds, after
all, and order the minis to click off few
million bright new silver coins for the
Christmas holidays. 1t has been custo-
mary to do SO for many years but as the
treasury has on hand about So, O00, 900 in
good coins, even though they are not
bright and shiny, it had been decided, in
the interest of economy, that no new ones
would be turned out. But the wall of pro-
test which is said to have originated with
the small boy has. gathered momentum On
it's way. The indignation of the shoppers
and the demands of the merchants have
grown and the subtreasuries have been
besieged with demands for new money
until all the assistant treasurers are call
ing for help.
George S. Terry, assistant treasurer OF
: ew York, came to Washington to in
form Treasurer McClung and George E.
Roberts, director of the mint, that the
banks in New York were demanding new
money for their holiday business. When
Secretary MacVeagh returns next week
he will take the matter under considera-
ton.
