To Comply With Provisions of Pend
ing House Bill.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-"For Gods
sake, in the interest of safety, don't
enact this BILL begged Vice President
and General Manager Smith, of the
New York Central lines, in opposing
before the house committee on inter
state commerce today the proposed
legislation for additional manning of
trains.
He explained the trains sometimes
carried more and sometimes less than
the number required by the pending
measures, which were introduced by
Representative Dawson. of Iowa,
and Martin OF Colorado, but that ar
bitrary fixing of-the number would
ruin discipline.
1t was estimated by the railroad
council that the requirements of the
proposed bills, which they believed to
be backed by the trainmen's organiz-
alton would cost 292 railroads in this
country more than $2O,OO0,000.

EGGS IN STORAGE.
There Are $4,000 Dozen in x. C.

Kansas City. Jan. 2S.-Kansas City is
a storehouse of eggs An investigation
has disclosed S50, 600 dozen in cold stor-
age 1t is claimed the eggs are owned
by combine, which bought them at an
average cost of Is cents a dozen, and
they are now being sold to the whole
sale trade at from 80 to 80 cents a
Dozen This discovery has given the
Kansas City assessor a pointer and he
intinates the eggs in cold storage
worth quarter million dollars or more,
will be forthwith assessed for taxation
Heretofore they have escaped the tax
assessor It's not eggs alone that are
piled up In cold storage in such enor-
nous quantities. Other varieties of
food in like proportion are sealed IN
der lock and key. and it is said by mer-
chants that if all the poultry, potatoes
meats. butter. fruits and other neces-
sary foods were thrown on the mar
ket at once there would be big break
in the existing high prices. Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson is investigating
along the same lines at Kansas City,
and if his department succeeds in ex-
posing the food combines. which doubt
less regulate prices, everybody may
have eggs by Easter.

ADUL TERATED OYSTERS.
DIR. Wiley Tells Congressional Conn
mittee About Them.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-The govern
ment is going after those who trans
plant oysters from salt water to fresh
water and frequently near the mouth
of sewers, where they are allowed to
fatten and enlarge beyond their nor
NAL proportions. thus making them
much more marketable, but less de-
sirable to the consumer. This was
developed today in the testimony of
DR.. Wiley, government chemist before
the house subcommittee engaged in
investigating the high prices of food
stuffs. Dr. Wiley characterized it as
a very fragrant form of adulteration.
The more sewage the oyster receives,
he said, the more corpulent and white
it becomes. giving it a very edible
appearance.

Kansan Tells What Secretary Wilson
Is Doing for Cotton.

Washington. Jan. g. Exhibiting
samples of cotton as recently graded By
the department of agriculture in its eff

have this new system of standardizing
cotton adopted by all selling agencies.
In the place of .fnnumerable classes
of cotton upon which prices had been
predicated, Mr.. Scott said he believed
the world eventually would adopt the
nine classes into which various grades
of cotton had been divided by the de-
partment.

Augeles--in fact. all the prominent
contests of late; Jack" Welsh. OF

said 90 be In favor OF Eyton. and
Johnson believes I'm the ability Of
Welsh. while Smith viii have many
friends Of the two fighters recon-
mending him. That one OF the three
will al the position is almost certain.
There have been some arguments
that a fight OF such importance
should have a referee and two Judges
but they have not met with much
favor. The old-timers claim that n
one man cannot decide a winner
three cannot. This is rather weak
argument. as three heads are some
times better than one I'm such cases.
especially. in deciding fouls and
roughing tactics. as a foul will ire
Quently occur and not be seen by

At that the three-men question

less there Is agitation by the press
and public, and, as one man has
generally decided all glove contests.

made in the case OF Jenries and

NEGRO MORE CLEVER.

johnson is admitted TO be more
clever than Jeffries, so the coming
fight is a question whether he can
stand the strain Of 20 or 80 round
contest, ana by punishment wear
Jenries down until he Is limp, the
same as Corbett did Sullivan in their
memorable night in New Orleans.
In all OF Johnson's fights he has
never knocked out a frst-class man,
except Stanley Ketchel, and the fight
was practicall~ a giant against a
pigmy. On the other hand, to Jedries'
credit are Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Cor
bett, Gus Rubin, and Jack Munroe.
In his fight with Sharkey he failed
10 knock him out, owing, possibly, to
many Disadvantages, the fight taking
place practically in an oven, the heat
from nearly 1000 small arc lights
being only a few feet above the
stage. At the end OF the third round
the gloves were so saturated with
water that they weighed pounds in
stead of ounces, and blows that would
have had a telling effect slipped OF
the men as though the leather had
been creased. Moreover. Jeffries was
not in the best condition for a fight
OF such importance.
When none OF these men could
knock out Jeffries it can hardly be
conceived that Johnson can do Il,
as few of his fights have been won
by knockout punches, and his oppo-
nents did not class by a very large
majority with men OF the Fitzsim-
mons. Sharkey, and Corbett class.
This deduction may be all wrong, but
dope" on the battles OF the men
shows that Jeffries is somewhat of a
stake horse, compared with John
son. One has knocked out good men.
the other has not

San Francisco and within half an

are many little "burgs" all around

ference. as those who are going 10
see the fight would go If IL took
place anywhere within a radius Of
20 miles Of san Francisco, and the
Fastener who anticipates the trip
does not care whether il is in Ala
media or San Mateo.
The mill being taken TO Emeryville
will create a sore spot in the hearts
OF those who anticipated getting a

will no doubt cause a breach between
Supervisor Herget and Jack" Glea-
son when the latter wants other
privileges in San Francisco proper.
Herget is a pretty strong politician
in San Francisco, and now that he
has been sidestepped there may be
some sort OF reaction in the future,
