HIGHER WAGES THE CAUSE.
Extra Expenses Of Railways Is Esti-
mated at $4o,ooo,ooo Year, Which
Means 25 Per Cent Raise In
Fares to Travellers.

London, Aug. 22.-The question Of
the prospective greater cost of railway
travelling in the United Kingdom un-
der the terms of the agreement signed
on Saturday by representatives of the
board of trade, the railway managers
and the executive committees of the
unions is attracting attention.
Under one clause of this agreement
the government gives assurance to the
companies that it will propose at the
next session of parliament legislation
providing that an increase in the cost
of labor due to improvement in con-
ditions for the working staff of the
roads shall be regarded as valid JUS
tification in case q reasonable increase
in charges, within the legal maxima
shall be challenged under the act of
1894. The question that is being dis
cussed is how the governments pro-
visory undertaking to raise the statu-
tory maxima of fares shall be con-
strued.
The government and the railway
companies alike anticipate u general
increase in wages, One of the de-
mands of the railway men is for a
minimum wage of 80 shillings (S7.5M
per week.
1t is figured that if this is conceded
the wages of the companies will be
swelled in the aggregate by about
fs,000y000 ($40,00O,OO0) year If this
increase is to be met by raising fares
the statutory third class rate of a
least a farthing. The general effect
may be calculated on the basis of 81
fares being increased to S1.25 and
those for other classes pro rata.

Philadelphia Pa, Aug. 22.-Two po.

ly wounded and a third was seriously
injured when they attempted to arrest
Gilbert Pond, twenty-eight years old
of Westmont, n. j., in a Chinese res.
taurant The dangerously injured are
William Kirby and Patrick Connor.
John Carr also was shot.
When the three policemen rushed
into the place Pond began shooting
a fourth policeman finally subdued
Pond. Forty policemen were kept
busy dispensing the crowds.
Pond, who at one time lived at
Dowagiac, Mich, and woman who
accompanied him to the restaurant
were committed to prison without
bail. The police say Pond used the
woman as Il shield during the en-
counter.
The trouble started over the woman,
who gives the name of Blanche Barry
Pond and the woman entered the Far
East restaurant, going to the dining
room on the second floor. John Kee,
the Chinaman i'll charge of the place,
said a man unknown to him began
talking to the woman and Pond became
angered When the man drew a chair
up to the table and sat down, Pond,
with an oath, drew revolver and
pointed it at the mans head. He also
threatened to shoot the girl. Then
Pond tipped over the table and, spring
ing to his feet, ordered every one in
the place to hold up their hands. The
order was obeyed and chop suey went
Gathering to the floor.
Thousands of persons thronged Race
street. and Lieutenant Barry, fearing
further trouble, turned the attention of
the police to them. They were driven
out of Chinatown an hour after the
riot. Chinatown was as quiet as
usual, but the crowds were thronging
about the station houses.

DELAWARE & EASTERN RAIL
ROAD SOLD.

The Sullivan County Review of
August II says:
The Delaware & Eastern railroad
was sold at Margaretville Wednes-
day. There was only one bid, that
of Abraham l. Elkus, who acted for
a Mr.. Seth of Pittsburgh, Pa. He
bought it in for $150,000, subject to
liens against it amounting to ST.
100000.
1t is understood that Mr. Seth
buys for the Jermyn syndicate, and
that the former interests will con-
troll The name of the road will
be changed to the Delaware and
Northern and will, no doubt, be ex-
tended to Schenectady and also to
Scranton.
Now that the contractors and
others are beaten out of their mon
ey the financiers will be able to
make improvements and extensions
to the road that will be of great
benefit to the country through which
the road runs and will run.

NO RACE SUICIDE.

There is no race suicide prevalent
IN Honesdale, Prompton borough,
Texas, Oregon and Berlin townships.
For the seven months period, com
mencing January l, and ending Aug.
l, 1911, 1O9 births were reported to
the local register of vital statistics
as over against 67 deaths.
For the month of July, 1911, there
were six deaths and seventeen births
in this district. Three of the deaths
occurred in Honesdale, and one each
in Texas, Oregon and Berlin town
ships.
Comparative statistics for the same
period last year show that there is
considerable larger percentage in
favor of births over deaths, in 1911,
than there was in 1910.
Wayne county is certainly adding
to her reputation as a shire where
contagious diseases are rare, and as
land in which the inhabitants live
and move and have their being long

tricts in the Eastern States.

PASS COTTON BILL.
Last Big Measure Before House Ready
For Presidents Veto.

Washington, Aug. %. - After a
dreary debate the house passed the
cotton revision bill, with its amend
ments revising the steel, iron and
chemical schedules, by vote of 1S0
to 1O7. 1t was the last big measure
before the house. 1t was known in
advance that the measure would be
disapproved by the president or per-
mitted to die through pocket Veto"
and for that reason only perfunctory
interest was shown in the proceedings.
Though President Taft's veto mes
sage to the cotton bill was ready and
printed in final form last night, it
was too late to be sent to congress and
will go in today. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Curtis and the tariff
board officials collaborated with him,
supplying data for his answer to con
greSS.

HIS LOSSES MILES APART.
Buildings Owned by Colonel Harry C.
Trexler Are DESTROYED.


Allentown, Pa, Aug. 22.-Colonel
Harry c. TreXler, millionaire president
of the Lehigh Portland Cement COM
pany, is the victim of his fourth fire.
Saturday night grain stacks were
burned at his Jordan Hill farms at
Schneksville.
Three of TreXler's barns have been
burned in two weeks, and it is no
longer doubted that the fires have been
started by an organized gang of incen-
diaries who seek to injure the presi-
dent of the cement company, who is
quartermaster general of Pennsyl-
vania.
Two weeks ago the big barn at Orm-
rod was burned-a new structure that
had cost $4,000 and was regarded as
the finest barn in Pennsylvania. The
same day, it was afterward learned, a
barn was burned in Mason City, la.
Last Thursday night a smaller barn
was burned at Ormrod, but even that
entailed a $4,000 loss. The barns be-
longed to the cement company, of
which Colonel TreXler is a majority
stockholder
The fact that operations have been
transferred to his own farms and the
additional fact that barns 1,5OO miles
apart should burn simultaneously, give
good grounds not only for malice, but
organized malice, with two or more
conspirators in the plot.
