Royal Geographical society have at

Yes, l made an especial inquiry
into the problem as to where Noah
really landed after the great deluge," )"
said Capt. Dickson. who now is IN
London. "The Bible historian takes
the account Of the ark resting on
Mount Ararat from the Chaldean
legend. which made it's rest on the
mountains Of .Urartu, while local
tradittons-Christian, Moslem and
Yezidt alike-make 1t Jebel judi, a
striking. sheer, rocky wall of seven
thousand feet, which frowned over
Messopotamia. Common sense also
would suggest that, with a subsiding
hood IN the plains, a boat would more
probably run aground on the high
ridge at the edge of the plain rather
than on solitary peak miles from
the plains and with many high ridges
intervening.
Where Noah Is Remembered.
There is large sanctuary at the
top of Jebel Judi, where each year, in
August, is held a great fete, attended
by thousands of energetic Moslems,
Christians and Yezidis, or devil wor-
shippers. who climb the steepest trials
for seven thousand feet in the ter
rife summers heat to do homage to
Noah. This mountain seems to- have
been held sacred at all times. and
certainly 1t has an awesome fasctna-
tion about it, with its huge precipices
and jagged, tangled crags watching
over the vast Mesopotamian plain.
"The local villagers show one exact
spot where Noah descended, while in
one village. Hassana, they show a
grave and the vineyard where he was
reputed to have indulged freely in the
Juice of the grape, the owner declar-
ing that the vines have been passed
down from father to son ever since.
It would incline one to believe that
local legends are, perhaps, more ac-
curate than the statements of Biblical
historians" :"
Even the Royal Geographical So
ciety, however, has "side-stepped" the
problem OF arranging Noah's "log."

BALKs ON SOCIALISM

New York, Jan. 6-Miss Anne Nor
gan, daughter of ]. Pierpont Morgan,
objects to the injection of socialism
into such meetings as the striking
shirtwaist makers held at Carnegie
hall last night. She was at the meet
ing as friend of the strikers cause.
"It is very reprehensible," she said,
"for socialists to take advantage OF
the dire straits of these poor girls to
teach them their doctrines

The San Francisco call., 1910-06-30
Local Effect Uncertain

Local trafficmen were reluctant to
speak about the decision of the inter-
state commerce commission in the
Spokane, Reno and Phoenix cases yes
terday. The fact that the rates were
found to be unreasonable and that re-
auctions were ordered did not disturb
them to any extent
L can not make any comment at
this time said Fl. A. Jones, freight
traffic manager of the Southern Pa
ciic. There is no way of telling what
the reductions are and until we know
definitely we can not say just how
much San Francisco will be affected. ;,
Practically the same statements were
made by Edward Chambers, assistant
freight traffic manager of the Santa
F'e. and by traffic managers of several
of the largest shipping firms of the
city.
William r. Wheeler, manager of the
traffic bureau of the merchants ex
change, sailed away yesterday morning
on the steamer Mariposa for Tahiti
and did not know that the commission
had rendered its decision. Attorney
Seth Mann, for the same bureau, was
out of the city and no opinion could
be secured from him.
Every trafficman who was inter-
viewed on the decision said practically
the same thing, that the exact reduc-
tions would have TO be known before
it could be predicted what effect the
decision would have on San Francisco
shippers

ZEPPELIN BEGINS

Count Prepares to Fulfill Prom

of Austria

OSNABRUCK, Germany, June 20
Count Zeppelin, disappointed but not
discouraged, hurried here today TO su-
perintend the salvage of his latest
aerial model, the great airship Deutsch-
land. which came to grief in less ex-
perienced hands yesterday in the trees
of Teutoburgian Wald.
The count. who will be 70 years old
Friday of next week, has an engage
ment for the near future to fly from
Friedrichshafen to Vienna and exhibit
his invention to Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, and he proposes to make good
his promise.
The prospects for the early resump-
tion of the passenger service. how
ever, are not bright. The airship COM
pany announced that the accident
would necessitate a suspension for sew
eral months of the advertised excur-
sions.
It was found today that it would be
necessary to dismantle the airship, and
this was begun. During the operation
a member of the crew was severely
injured.

in the branches of which the airship
was lodged. The soldiers were occu-

miles around.
The next voyage of the Deutschland

the helm.

ITALY WANTS TO
PUNISH CHARLTON
Application for ExtraditiOn Is
Expected in Washington,
but Not Yet Received
State Department Officials Re-
fuse to Discuss Status of
Murder Case
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

WASHINGTON, June 2e.-The state
department announced today that it had
received no request from the Italian
ter Charlton for trial for killing his
wife at Lake Como. Italy. The of
icials of the department would not dis
cuss the status of the Charlton case.
The impression in Washington isithat
the state department and the italian
1t is believed that the decision of the
Italian foreign Office to ask for Charl-
tons extradition was formed after the
American attitude had been ascertained
in correspondence through the italian
charge d'affaires and the department in
Washington.
1t is understood that Italy did not
care particularly to get Charlton for
trial. but that, as he can not be tried
in America, the Italian governmen ent
thought he should be surrendered so
that he might be punished. With the
stipulation that the Charlton case
should not become a precedent the
Italian government decided to ask for
Charltons return.
Italy Furnishes her citizens when they
commit crimes in America and fee to
their native land, but refuses to abide
by her treaty with the United States
and send the offenders to America for
trial
1t has been stated in the department
that young Charltons crime was so
atrocious and cruel that there can be
no extenuation except for insanity. The
department has had no desire to help
him to escape the consequences of his
crime on a technicality. sAs his victim
was an American and a woman the
necessity for his punishment has been
felt from the first.
Another consideration has been the
connection of Charlton's father Judge
Paul Charlton, with the present admin
istration. If sthe boy should escape re-
turn to Italy, the popular impression
would be that his fathers influence had
saved him.
The report from New York that Emil
Frick, attorney for Captain Scott. Mrs.
Charlton's brother, had heard that the
state department had decided to sur
render Charlton, could not be confirmed
officially. although this statement is
being made unoff1cially.
The request of the Italian govern
ment. If it comes by mail through diplo-
matte channels. will not get to Wash
ington for 10 days or two weeks.

Celebrations TO Be Held at Mis-.
sion Park, Columbia Square
and North Beach

The Fairgrounds commission has
completed its programs for the chill
dren OF this city who are to celebrate
Independence day at the Mission park
grounds. Columbia square grounds and
the North beach grounds.
Some objection had been raised to
having a celebration at Seventh and
Harrison streets for the reason that
there is hut q sparse populat tion in. that
part Of the city, but the commission
overruled the objections. believing that
the celebration would encourage the
people OF that territory As the
grounds at Seventh and Harrison
streets have been hut recently sowed
and the grass is just sprouting the
many who viii assemble there would
ruin it, so il was decided to have the
exercises in Columbia square. which is
adjacent. -

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY
TO DARKEN THE HAIR

Who does not know of the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good con-
dition? As matter of fact, sulphur is
a natural element of the hair, and a
deficiency of it in the hair is held bv
many scalp specialists to be connected
with loss of color and vitality of the
hair. Unquestionably, there is no
better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles, especially premature gray-
ness, than sage and sulphur, If oron-
erly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical
Company, ~ Cortlandt street. New
York City, put up an ideal preparation
Of this kind. called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur. 1t is sold by all leading
druggists for Soc and S100 bottle,
or is sent direct by the manufacturers

Comparison of Mileage

If the same carload of freight orig
mates at Denver, 500 miles west of
Omaha, the same rates to Reno and
Sacramento apply; and If the freight
originates at Boston, LOO miles east
of Omaha. the rates are the same.
The commission finds that only 25
per cent of the traffic into Reno from
the east originates east of Chicago.
while rs per cent originates between
Chicago and Denver.
Turning to the division of earnings
between carriers on traffic from the
east TO Reno, the commission finds that
the lions share accrues to the South
ern Pacific company.
1t is significant, as indicated in the
opinion. that the lines east of Ogden,
Utah, receive exactly the same divisions
out of the so called water compete
tion" rates to Pacific coast ports as
they receive out of the vastly higher
rates to Nevada points, "the entire diff
ference being appropriated by the
Southern Pacific company.
Astonishing facts were developed
concerning the earning capacity of the
Pacific lines. The commission shows
that during the last two years the
operating revenues of the Southern
Pacific companys system had increased
IS, 600, 600, while its operating expenses
had decreased $4,000. 600, thus producing
an increased operating income of more

Nevada and Arizona Cases

In the Nevada and Arizona cases. in
Guiding the Sacramento-R Reno case
against the Southern Pacific company.
the railroad commission of Nevada
against the Southern Pacific company
and the Maricopa County commercial
company against the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe and other carriers, the
decisions were prepared by Commits
sioner Franklin K. Lane.
In each of them heavy reduction in
class rates is ordered, some of the re-
ductions being as high as 33 1-3 per
cent. The commission finds that the ex-
listing rates are practically without
precedent or parallel in the United
States The average rate per ton per
mile on all 10 classes from Sacramento
to Reno is 9f6 cents, an unprecedented
figure.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-30
Reductions for Reno

The class rates between Sacramento
and Reno are reduced approximately 80
per cent, the rate on first class freight
being lowered from s1.29 per 100 pounds
to So cents. Similar reductions in the
class rates are made from Sacramento
to other points in Nevada and Utah.
In the case of the railroad commits
sion of Nevada against the Southern
Pacific company and other carriers the
commission condemns the existing
westbound class rates from eastern
points to Nevada.
In this connection the commission de-
cIares these rates 10 be the highest
main line rates found in the United
States"
For carrying carload of first class
traffic containing 10000 pounds from
Omaha to Reno the Union and Southern
Pacific lines charge s85s. If the same
carload goes 154 miles farther to Sac
ramento the charge is but $500. The
first class rate to the more distant
point, Sacramento, is SO per 100 pounds,
and to the nearer point, Reno. s4.29 per
l 90 pounds.
