a week later.
Cain, who had been drinking. got off
at the 1O4th street station to get another
drink. The passenger who had first
quarreled with Cain followed the negro
down into the street with two or three
more of the passengers trailing behind.
They had just reached the pavement un-
der the elevated track when the negro
and the passengers got into a fight.
The whistles from the elevated train
from which the negro had Just debarked
had attracted pedestrians and shop keep
ers along Columbus avenue before the
fight in the street below began. This
little crowd soon was swelled by many
hundreds
The fight now began to stretch all the
way along the block on Columbia ave-
nue. from 104th to 105th streets. with the
crowd growing bigger every second.
There was much doubt tonight whether
Cain had a revolver. Some Of the on
lockers. even some who had been shot
believed that the pistol shots were
caused by indiscriminate shooting by
men along the avenue who were trying
to kill the negro. Cain had no revolver
upon him when captured by Policeman
Eynon.
The negro fought his way northward.
with most persons close by getting out
of his way as they saw him swing right
and left with long knife. 1t was at
105th street, a block above where the
fight started, that Cain lunged at Carl
son and thrust the knife through Carl
sons shoulder.
IT wanted to get that man who slapped
me. I am sorry 1 did not. When I
could not get him, I wanted to get
everybody in sight. Even II do go to
The chair I'm not a bit sorry for It,"

nounced last night that, after ma
ture consideration, he had come to
the conclusion that an advance was
not feasible at this time.
Mr.. Finley accompanied his an
nouncement with the first definite
statement from a captain of in
dustry" that the high cost of living,
the problem which confronted the
nation only year ago had, in a
measure, solved itself. Mr.. Finley
told the men that prices were lower
than they were a year ago, and that
the demands of the men were not
to be considered as based on the
conditions that existed when their
effort to obtain increases was in
augurated.
THE RATE OF PAY.
In the course Of his statement Mr..
Finley called the attention of the men
to the fact that the rate Of pay for
fremen had been increased approx
mately 46 per cent since 1900. He told
them that the advance they sought ap-
proximated an increase Of rs per cent
in their present wage, and that the cost
to the company entailed by such an ad-
vance would be more than $4,000 per
annum.

they have small circulations,
have shown marked BUSINESS

relations with the United States have

reasonable arrangements led to mucl
disappointment in the dominion In tn,

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 9.-The train
that brought us here from Chicago Is
the best and fastest TO the southwest.
Minutes are as rubies with this train,
yet II was held a good hour at the
very start, at Englewood, ILL.,, for the
Twentieth Century limited, so that n
personal friend of President Diaz oI
Mexico might make connections and
not be delayed an instant in his hur-
ried flight from New York city TO
Mexico City to see the federal Off
cials and take steps TO protect his
property in the Mexican states of
Sinaloa, Coachuila, and Chihuahua.
These properties-mines, factories and
ranches-represent several millions
Of dollars.
When this Mexican Croesus stepped
from the Twentieth Century limited
to the car. bound for the west, a sec
retary walked with him, carrying a
great portfolio. The porter lugged n
typewriter, and the baggagemen threw
over 10 bags and trunks.
Now, for various reasons, this man
doesn't want his name printed. So
let's describe him as a big man, very
dark, who has rare intelligence, and
Mexican-like, wears an eXtravagant
display Of jewelry, mostly diamonds.
On his left wrist, for instance, he has
q massive gold bracelet set with dia-
monds he wears a stick-pin worth
perhaps $500; diamond rings to the
extent OF three or four: a watch fob
that Is simply dazzling with white
gems. He smokes 25-cent cigars;

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 9.-At last a
woman has been honored with vote
for an United States senator-ship. The
woman Is Mrs. Katherine NJ. Cook.
The vote was more than compli-

zie. the member of the Colorado leg
islature who cast IL.

II Mrs. Cook had received just so
more votes, she would not be con-
sulting her toga maker, for 81 is the
vote necessary to elect in Colorado.
Thereby the average Of pulchritude in
the senate would have risen at least
SO per cent also, as Mrs. Cook is ad-
mittedly far more beauteous than all
the present senators put together.
