Lane of Fantastic Color

While crowds OF merry makers
danced around the red and green fre
blazing on the downtown street cor
ners. or stopped their fun to gaze at
passing floats or autos. masqueradcrs
were making Fillmore street a lane OF
fantastic color. above which arose the
din that the subjects of King Uoise
offered to him In the Mission mean
while Queen Esther was receiving the
devotion of her subjects while they pre-
pared for the pyrotechnic display and
mad night of mirth that would end at
the Mission Dolores when sweet chimes
would send a solemn greeting TO the
new year out over the barred heads OF
the populace. And brass bands crashed
at a dozen places. though their din was
lost in the greater uproar of the
crowds.
The arched eanopies in Fillmore
street blazed with red fire mile along
the thoroughfare, and incandescentS
cast their white brflHancy over the
scene. In Hamilton square big brass
band blared nightly and from the sur
rounding park rockets rose to point
the new year toward San Francisco.

Advancement of Freight Rates to Be
Postponed-Reduction Ordered
in Lumber Tariff.

Washington, D. c., July 20.-The
committee representing the railways
in the eastern classification territory
and Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission, today agreed
on terms of postponement Of the i'm
portant advance in freight rates. The
railroads will voluntarily postpone the
advances until November l. In the
meantime, an investigation of the rea-
sonableness of all such rates will be
made by the commission. 1t is not un-
likely that a similar agreement will
be made with the western roads.
Lower Rates on Lumber.
Washington, D. c.. July 20.-The in
terstate commerce commission today
decided that the rates on yellow pine
lumber from points in Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas and Missouri to
points in Nebraska, Colorado and
Wyoming reached by the lines of the
Burlington and other carriers are un
reasonably high and the roads are re
quired to put reduction into effect.

BURGLAR KILLS
R. R. PRESIDENT
Reign of Crime and Terror
on North Side of
Chicago
FRUIT OF WIDE OPEN TOWN
Assassin Is Wounded But Has
Made Good His
Escape.

Chicago, July 20-Ira c. Rawn,
president of the Chicago, Indianapolis
and Louisville (Monon) railway, was
shot through the heart and killed
early this morning by a burglar who
had "jimmied" the front door and
was engaged seeking for valuables.
The man was heard prowling down.
stairs by Mr.. Rawn, who revolver in
hand, went down to investigate. A
moment later, two shots were heard
and when the members of the family
hurried down stairs, they found Mr.,
Rawn lying in the hallway with bull
let hole through his heart. He tried
to speak, but was unable, and died a
moment later.
1t is believed that the burglar was
wounded by Mr.. Rawn, for trail of
blood, hundred feet long, was found
by the police this morning along the
stone walk east of the Rawn resi-
dence. The assassination is the eli
max of reign of crime that has
driven the residents of the north
shore almost to a frenzy and which
is the result of the wide open" poll
cy in Chicago. Mr.. Rawn was So
years of age and entered the railway
service in 1870, beginning as tele-
graph operator for the Big -Four road.
Twenty Detectives Working on Case.
Chicago, July 20.-The murder was
committed at Mr. Rawn's summer res
idence at Winnetteka on the north
shore. While it is generally believed
by the police that the murderer en-
tered the house to commit burglary,
the private detectives working on the
case intimate that there may have
been another motive, declaring that
the work is not that of an expert
burglar. Mr. Rawn recently was a
prominent witness in the Chicago and
Western Indiana railroad case in
which it is alleged real estate frauds
aggregating 100000 were charged
against a former official but States
Attorney Wayman said today that he

WESTERN FEDERATION OF
MINERS is OPTIMISTIC
Expect to Hold Balance of Power in
Constitutional Conventions of Ari-
zona and New Mexico.

Denver, Colo, July 20.-The conven-
ton of the Federation of Miners today
heard the report of the executive COM
mittee. The report while pointing
out some dangers was optimistic in its
general tone asserting that last year
had been of great prosperity for the
Federation through the Rocky Noun
tain district. Two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars were expended dur
ing the year for the relief of striking
miners. President Meyer addressed
the convention during the morning,
warning the members against the eff
forts which he said are being made to
undermine the Western Federation.
He said the Western Federation
would hold the balance of power in
the constitutional conventions of Ari-
zona and New Mexico and would force
the adoption of an anti-inJunctlon
plank.

GASOLINE BLOWS UP
SCHOONER AT SAN JUAN.
Came Near Destroying Naval Station
But Energetic Work of Marines
Saved the Buildings.

San Juan, Porto Rico, July 90
The American marines at the naval
station here, had lively time today
with a cargo of gasoline, that in turn
blew up the schooner and all but de-
stroyed the naval station. The YES
sci was moving out of the harbor
when the explosion in the hold blew
most of her load into the water and
setting the craft afire, forced the crew
to jump overheard. The marines
managed to recover many cans which
were placed on the naval station
wharf. Presently a second explosion
occurred and the quarters of the
marines were wrapped in flames. The
marines manned the pumps and final
ly saved the buildings from destruc
ton.

PARK TOUCHED
BY MAGIC WAND
Trees Spring Up, and Lofty
Columns Are Reared for
Great Fete
MAZE ALSO HAS INNING
And Now The Fair Ladies are
Praying for Fair
Weather.

! The plaza" or city park is no more
until after tomorrow-for the prep
arations for the great fete which is
to hold sway tomorrow afternoon and
{ evening have touched the park as
though by magic wand. In one tri
angle today is seen green trees three
or four feet high, that mushroom like
/ nave sprung up in a few hours They
are serving as body guards to the
Maze which will mystify even the
shrewdest at 2 o'clock tomorrow after
/ noon when the fete opens.
In another triangle lofty columns
reminding one of Trajan's forum in
Rome, are seen and will do duty fo1
the Japanese tea garden, where limpid
eyed sirens from the Flowery King,
dom will lure even the confirmed anti.
tea drinker to accept a cup of the
beverage thought by many to be deli.
cious.
Other buildings are Springing up
with wonderful rapidity for in a third
triangle will be country store an
, ice cream or parlor and many a booth
! with things for the tooth.
The ladies on the various commit
tees were out in numbers this morn
ing, working planning and seeing
that this fete is to eclipse all others
held in the past dozen years under
the auspices of the Woman's Board
Of Trade. With the Santa Fe mem
bers of the committee today was Mrs.
! George Cabot Ward of New York City.
Mrs. Wards husband was short
time ago secretary of Porto Rico and
later acting governor of the island,
and she is a summer visito' in the
city.
The lievliest interest is being dis,
played in the arrangements for the
fete and many ladies prominent in
Santa Fe society will assist at the
tables and do everything possible to
swell the receipts of the fete which
go to worthy objects, such as buying
books for the library, improving the
plaza, and so forth.
At 4 p. m.
| While the maze" will start its
amazing work at p. m. the fete will
formally open at p. m. when "a
young ladies, some clad as japanese,
some as damsels from Old Madrid and
others equally attractive, will file out
of the Old Palace and pass through
the park, returning to the center and
proceeding to the four quarters of the
square where attractions will draw
the crowds. This little procession
will be a beautiful feature of th'
fete
All that is desired now, besides
large attendance which is already as
sured, is the smile of Old Sol, or a
least leaden skies without that rail
1storm which is brewing in the Rock
imountain region. The fair ladies an
their friends are praying for fai
weather to crown their arduous e1
forts, and, if possible, the weathe
man here is going to send it.
