Raps Proprietors of Amusement Re-
Who Exclude Men Wearing Uni
form of United States.

Washington, D. C.-President Taft
through Attorney General Wicker
sham raped all proprietors who ex-
clude from their amusement places
men wearing the uniform of the Uni
ted States navy or army. He ordered
the United States attorney at Pres
colt, Ariz., to proceed against the
owners of the Yavapai skating rink
for refusing admission to Capt E. o.
c. Ord, U. S. A., retired, and Capt.
Duncan X. Mayor, Jr., Twenty-seventh
infantry, because they were wearing
their uniforms. The owners tried to
apologize later, but President Taft re-
fused to accept the apology and or
dered action to be brought under the
federal law on the subject passed by
the last congress. In his letter to
President Taft, Wickersham said:
"a have no sympathy with the proprl-
etors of places of amusement who take
It upon themselves to exclude men wear

18TH WISCONSIN AT SHILOH
elk Days After Leaving Its state
New, inexperienced Regiment
Engaged In Famous Battle.

On March 30, 1862, the Eighteenth
Wisconsin left Milwaukee and pro-
ceeded to Pittsburg Landing and be-
came part OF General Grants force,
which, six days from the time the
new, inexperienced regiment left its
state, one of the great battles of the
war began, that OF Shiloh, writes
Lieut.. Col. j. A. Watrous in the Mil
waukee Sentinel. The Eighteenth
reached Pittsburg Landing on April s,
and was placed with the division of
Gen. B. M, Prentiss, which occupied
the most advanced position of any
troops in the line. The soldiers put up
their tents, but their rations having
run out they went to bed hungry, as q
great many others did during the war.
Early the next morning the pickets
in front of Prentiss' division were
driven in. The Eighteenth did splen-
did service in that, it's first battle,
fighting like veterans. Thirty were
killed and 95 wounded, many of the
latter dying.
One hundred and seventy-hve of
the men and ten or twelve of the Off
GERS were made prisoners at the time
the most of General Prentiss' division
was captured. Yet there were enough
left to make body of $50 to partici-
pate in the second days battle, which
resulted in driving back the enemy
and giving Grant victory.
The Eighteenth was In MacAr-
thurs division, and but for the fact
that Gen. Charles s. HamiIton's sue
cessful attack of the enemy at Iuka,
would have been in that battle. Ham,
ilton defeated the enemy before Mac
Arthur's division reached the field.
The regiment was constantly on duty,
participated in various raids, burned
bridges and destroyed railroads. 1t
had important work in connection
with the battle of Corinth, In October,
1862, and was given another oppor-
tunity to show it's good mettle. In
this engagement 1t lost five killed and
81 wounded. 1t was on the reserve at
the battle of Champion Hills, but had
several killed and a number wounded.

WOMEN WORKERS
ARE NOT WANTED
GIRLS BARRED BY PRACTICALLY
ALL RAILROADS OF THE
COUNTRY.
OFFICERS GIVE REASON FOR ACTION
Declare Stenographers and Clerks Set
Sail on Sea of Matrimony When
They Become Most Useful
to Their Employers.

New York City.-The railroads Of
the United States have joined in a
plan to disbar women from their serv-
ice. This fact has just became gen.
orally known for the first time. From
a desire not to arouse "unfounded
criticism as one veteran railroad
man expressed 1t, the great trans
portation lines of the country have
kept secret their reasons for eliminat-
ing women from their pay rolls. One
after another admitted that they have
fair sex.
So firmly, however, is the exclusion
of women now being enforced by such
railroads as the Erie, New York Cen
trail, Lehigh and Central Railroad of
New Jersey that whenever an en-
ployment agency obtains an order to
fill vacancies, the positions are never
offered TO women.
The news that the Southern Pacific
would follow the example of the
eastern roads nevertheless aroused
special interest, because of the fact
that Mrs. e. II. Hartman, widow OF
the great financier, is one of the most
powerful factors in Southern and
Union Pacific affairs.
when Mrs. Hartman learns that
women are to be excluded from the
service of the railroads in which she
is most deeply interested" said one
of her confidential representatives, 81
have no doubt but that she will use all
her influence to have the rule de
scinded."
Women regard business as 9
makeshift," said an official of the Erie
railroad who refused to permit the
use of his name. "They become stem
ographers or clerks, not as a means
to aspiring to higher positions, but
merely to earn enough money to meet
their present needs. All of them ir
their hearts desire marriage. And as
soon as the right men appear, they
leave office for the home"

U. S. STARTS BIG SUIT
CHARGES VARIOUS RAILROADS
WITH BEING IN COMBINE.
Claim Is Made That Lines Are In Con.
spiracy to Restrain Bitumnous
Coal Industry.

Columbus, O.-Suit in equity di.
rected against an alleged coal com
bine and various railroads was filed
in the United States court here.
The defendants named in the suit,
which was filed by Orla e. Harrison,
special assistant attorney general
are as follows: Lake Shore & Michi-
gan Southern railroad, Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad, Hooking Valley rail
road, Toledo &c Ohio Central railroad,
Kanawha &c Michigan railroad
GAINESVILLE G. Western railroad, Sun
day Creek Coal Co., Continental Coal
Co., Kanawha g. Hooking Coal & Coke
Co. The government charges that the
defendant companies have formed
and entered into such combinations
and conspiracies as to restrain trade
and commerce, especially in the BIZ
luminous coal industry in several
states. The. government asks that
they be enjoined from continuing busi-
ness along these lines. 1t is alleged
that the six railroads are affiliated and
that the three coal companies are also,
not only among themselves, but with
the railroad companies.
The Hooking Valley, the Toledo &
Ohio Central, the Kenawha & Michi
gan, and the GAINESVILLE &c Western
were until recently under control OF
the trunk line syndicate"
The Sunday Creek Coal Co. is a
holding company, controlling the Con
tinental Coal Co. and other compa
nies owning properties both in Vir
ginia, West Virginia and Ohio.
The governments purpose is tc
prevent the change of ownership
agreed upon last year when the trunk
line syndicate turned over the four
railroads and their affiliated coal com
panies to the Lake Shore and the
Chesapeake G Ohio, and the G. & o..
taking charge of the Hooking Valley.

The Eighteenth took part in the
battle of Mission Ridge, and joined in
the pursuit of the enemy SO far as
Ringgold, Ga. 1t was on duty at
Huntsville, Ala, until May l, 1854,
when it joined Sherman in his great
campaign from Chattanooga to At
lanta. The Eighteenth was one of the
regiments at Altoona Pass and
helped to fight the battle bearing that
name, and it is said that no troops of
that small force fought more valiant

remark by Sherman, Hold the fort,

enemy left 1900 killed and wounded

1t was expected that other. legisla-
tors would be released from attending
totnorrow's session by the same pro-
cess of pairing. Owing to this abb
senteeism the result of today's ballot
showed a reduction of several in the

owing to the absence of one Republic

for election, the actual significance of

this fact. in view.
Assemblyman Saunders of Column

they voted for Mr.. Sheehan.
Parker's Letter.
Inc letter follows:
You, along with several others are
casting your votes for me for the SEN
atorship. While no one can fail to
appreciate the courtesy even of such
complimentary vote, let me say with
all possible emphasis that no one is
doing me favor by such an act, but
the reverse
You can, however, if you choose,
do me favor by casting your vote for
Mr.. Sheehan. The unjust attacks on
Mr.. Sheehan should not weaken the
support of his friends but should ce-
ment and strengthen their uncom-
promising efforts for hia election.
unfortunately in this country alto
gether too often elections are charac-
teriZed by undeserved and unjustif1a BILE
attacks on worthy candidates. During
the campaign of 1901, when Mr.. Shep-
ard ran on the Tammany ticket
against Seth Low for the mayoralty of
this city attacks on Mr.. Shepard were
at least as bitter as those now directed
against Mr.. Sheehan.
Mr.. Shepard was then denounced
by his present strenuous supporters for
taking the nomination from Tammany
Hall and for his attitude on 'Devery-
ism, which was one of the burning is
sues of the day. and the end of his
political career was predicted as GER
tain. Their attitude was as unjust then
toward Mr.. Shepard as it is now to-
ward Mr.. Sheehan.'
After reading the letter Mr.. Saun-
ders said it would not change his at
titude nor would 1t make the other six
assemblymen who voted for Parker
change their views.

|DYCHE TO LEGISLATORS.
Tells Them All About Preservation of
Fish and Game.

Prof L. L. Dyche. state fish and game
warden, met with the house and senate
committees on fish and game legislation
last night, and entertained the lawmakers
for two hours He told them all about
the German carp and the black bass, and
fired yards of figures into the argument
He said that the German carp was a
Perfect Gentleman as compared with the
much-touted black bass, and repeated his
former statement that carp did not eat
other fish, while the black bass was not
only a cradle-robber but cannibal.
After giving the German carp clean
bill of health, Prof. Dyche took up the
subject of game birds, and gave it as
his opinion that prairie chickens are a
hopeless proposition in Kansas because
the state is so thiclxly populated. However,
he thinks that any legislation tending to
protect these birds and give them a bet
ter chance for natural propagation, would
be worth while. From which it may be
gathered that he does not take much
stock in the proposed bill to add quail in
cubators to the Pratt fish and game farm.
