Strike Threatened.

Philadelphia, July IA Unless We
are able to obtain from the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad the demands which we
have made, we unquestionably will call
a strike. We have not voted for fun;
we are in deadly earnest.
There is no question OF the attitude
OF the men. nor OF their loyalty. I'm
less we can get for them what they
want, we have no other alternative.
The railroad must give in, or the strike
will be called. II it is, the entire sys-
tenn OF the Pennsylvania Railroad will
be tied up, and the loss to the railroad
will be enormous.
The foregoing statement, made by
w. G. Lee, president of the Order OF
Railway Trainmen, as he entered the
conference of the railroad officials
shortly before noon today, would indi-
cate that the situation between the
company and the men, which has been
strained for several months, had be-
come critical overnight.
When the leaders entered the confer
ence, none expressed hope that the
difficulty would be settled at this meet
ing.
Following this7 mornings conference
between the committee representing the
trainmen and conductors Of the Pen
nsylvania Railroad Manager Myers,
the union officials declared they were
well satisfied with the result. Officials
OF the railroad company declined to
make any statement at this time.

GIRLS turning 16 are absolutely ire

is, he continued, they are devoted 7"

budding girl is as battling a problem as
the soul Of woman,'' said DIR. Hall,
''aud the world now knows that instead
Of no soul at all woman now has one,
two. three or even four more than
man. The young girl is absolutely
irreligious in her nature. She IS

whereas boy looks into the future.
Her life is all emotion, and for that
reason certain religious fcrvor is likely
to appeal to her. She should be pro-

Railroad Rates.

Washington, July 14.-In decisions
on three important rate questions the
Interstate Commerce Commission, to-
day for the first time had opportunity
to exercise the power to suspend rates
given it by the new railroad law. In
one cass it was used in favor of the
railroads and in two cases against them.
Great disappointment will probably
be experienced byI the 100000 New
Jersey commuters in the decision Of
the commission that the increased COM
mutation rates of the railroads shall
stand.
While these higher rates will 60 into
effect. the way will be opened to the
commuters to 60 before the Interstate
Commerce Commission that any par
ticular rate is unreasonable and there
fore unlawful.
The decision of the commission in
the general suspension OF proposed in
creases in freight rates is of the utmost
importance to the railroad world. 1t
affects practically every railroad sytcm
in the country except those south OF
the Potomac and east Of the Mississippi.
1t means the suspension OF II 900 tariffs
some OF which comprise thousands OF
proposed increased rates. 1t is indicat-
ed that some of these rates will be APP
proved by the commission to DE put
in force on August l, on which date
most of the rates are scheduled to take
affect. The bulk OF the rates will be
suspended. pending Investigations for
100 days from the time that they were
to take effect.
Boston milk consumers gained a
signal victory. Taking advantage OF
the state law there the railroads have
made an increase of so to 100 per cent
in the earring rate which would have
necessitated an important increase in
the price Of milk. The old rates will
now prevail until the commission by
investigation decides whether the rail-
roads are justified III raising the rates

Penalty for Light Ofense.

Tunbridge Wells, Eng, July IA
Because the local magistrates imposed 4
fine or prison sentence, as alternative,
upon an 11-year-old boy whose offense
was venturing upon the Southeastern
Railways right Of way to pluck flowers
for his fathers grave, the entire
bench at Tunbridge Wells, will
have to do some explaining to the
secretary of state for Home Affairs.
The boy protested that, being too
poor to get floral tribute for his fathers
grave, he thought there would be no
harm in taking wild flowers from an
uncultivated plot.
The bench, however, pointed out with
great severity that the rising generation
OF Englishmcn must be taught respect
for the rights of others. The boy was
fined S1.55 and costs, amounting to
$3.50, which he could not pay. He
would have been sent to prison had not
generous persons paid the fine.

ALTHOUGH not an advocate OF prize

ing contest for physical exercise. > I'm

ton is this: As the gorilla is rccog-
nized as a great fighter and always
in training, and the ability of Jack
Johnson, the negro champion, is not
now questioned, the proper thing for
Johnson to do is to tackle the gorilla.
There ist't any question about john
son getting whipped in less than tif-
teen rounds. Then it would be up to
some white fighter to whip the gorilla,
and the best,man to do this is Thco-
dore Roosevelt, who is recognized as a
