RAILROADS EVADE RULING
{ Strive to Get Around Decision by
Raising Coast Rates.

Washington.-By means of new
rates filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission, it becomes evident
that the railroads expect to defeat
the plan of the commission to lower
freight rates to Spokane, Salt Lake
and other inter-mountain points after
November 1.
Proposed new rates, instead of low
ering tariffs to inter-mountain points
I to bring them within the ruling of
; the Commission, are made to con-
: form to the relative requirements OF
the decision by raising the rate to
the Coast. If the new rate Is allowed
TO go into effect, jobbers in inter-
mountain cities, OF course, will not
lose the advantage gained by the de-
cision, but the consumer will find
very little comfort by the commits
sion's action. If the rate Is accepted
now. a fight is likely.

HARTMAN lines
SHOPMEN STRIKE
Campaign to Enforce Recogni-
ton of Systems Federation
Commences.

Chicago.-The threatened strike of
the shopmen of the Hartman lines to
enforce recognition of the newly or
ganized Federation of Shop Workers
became a reality. The number
of men who quit in the Is states af-
tected was estimated at between
10000 and 10000 by the union men,
although Julius Kruttschnitt, vice
president of the Hartman lines, to-
night said the number was much
smaller
Reports from most of the points in
dicated that the men walked out with
out demonstrations and no rioting was
reported. Traffic was continued with
out interruption and the railroad heads
say that the shopmen's strike, even
If extended, would not interfere with
transportation.
The strike order called out boiler
makers, machinists, car men, black
smiths and helpers, clerks, steamfit-
tiers, sheet metal workers, painters
and laborers. It involved all the far
western lines Of the Hartman sys-
TEN, the main lines being the Union
and Southern Pacific and the middle
western and southern lines of the ILL
nois Central.
Fear that the strike may spread to
other lines, and eventually to every
line in America, was given added fuel
when 100 Santa Fe shopmen in Los
Angeles walked out when told to make
repairs that had been left by the
striking Hartman employees.
At New Orleans, where the strike
already had extended from a strike OF
Illinois Central clerks, and the men
have been out several days, two men
received Jail sentences for violation
of a federal Injunction restraining
them from interfering with the com
pany's property.

TOWN DESTROYED
WHEN DAM BREAKS

Austin, Pa-Austin, a town of 5000
residents in the northern part of the
state, was swept out of existence and
more than 800 of it's people were
killed by a flood which followed the
breaking of the Bayless Pulp & Pa
per Company's dam, mile and a half
north of the town. Half a billion gal
Ions Of water rushed over the place
in a wall rs feet high, wrecking every
structure in its path.
The flood did not spend its force
until it raced more than ten miles
from the reservoir. Wharton, still
farther on, suffered somewhat, but is
practically intact. The loss of life
at Costello, where the residents had
more warning is believed to be but
one. The property loss in the valley
is estimated at upwards of $6OOO,O00
In Austin the bursting of scores of
natural gas mains as the buildings
were swept away added horror to the
flood and many imprisoned in the
wreckage were burned to death The
contents of the dam, which was filled
to overlooking by the heavy rains of
two weeks, swept through natural
gorge in which Austin and Costello
are situated. The catastrophe paral-
leled in many respects the destruc-
ton by flood of Johnstown, Pa, in
1889, in which more than $500 lives
were lost.

| kerchief bag two small medallions Of
Irish lace (picked up on a bargain
! counter, Christina confided) were
sewed together at the bottom and sides
and had a white cotton draw string
with tiny balls to finish the ends Of it.
OF bags there was bewildering var
iety, from a bean bag for Little Sister,
Of tan linen. with big butterfly out
lined in chain stitch with brown silk,
to an evening bag crocheted with silver
thread and lined with heiotrope silk
A party bag that appeared to be made
from some rich, unusual material
proved upon inspection to be simply a
striking bit Of cretOnne covered with
rose color chiffon that harmonized
with the dominant tone Of the cretonne
A collar bag Of linen crash was drawn
up with linen cord and had splash
ing monogram worked in the center.
And for the girl beyond the seas was a
since it's sides were stifrened with card
board, which by the loOscning Of the
cord that held these sides upright could
be 1attened out for mailing.
A safety pocket. made Of tan linen
and attached to strong betting to be
worn around the waist, was intended
for the woman who was planning q
long trip. 1t had two pockets, one for
tewelry and money, the other large
enough for letters and papers, which
were securely fastened with patent
buttons.
Nothing could have been prettier
than the bed room slippers Christina
had made from Dresden ribbon, and
from brocaded silk. Onto the soft
soles that may be bought in all sizes
she had wrapped the edge Of wide
Dresden ribbon. for one pair, shirring
it up into place so that a sort Of cuff
Of the ribbon turned down around the
top and finishing it with a big fluffy
rosette of the ribbon. For a pair Of
soles she had used a handsome piece
OF brocade silk simply bound at the
edge with ribbon feather stitched on.
Next to the delectable chiffon scarfs
was a Whit Of an evening hood in blue

chiffon, shirred all over, the shirrings
about an inch apart, and caught into
shape at each side with tiny punches
Of roses.
All a-futter with saucy little bows
was an apron Of cross-bar dimity con-
sisting OF three parts, or leaves cut like
shamrock leaves and edged with mar
row lace. Ribbon run through beading
was used for the belt and the bows
OF ribbon held the smaller leaves to the
center one. Another dainty sewing
apron Of figured organdie was gathered
slightly onto the lace beading at the
waist through which was run wide
satin ribbon and was fulled in again at
the bottom and finished with the bead
ing. The ribbon at the bottom was
long enough so that 1t could be brought
around the skirt and tied in a bow in
the back, in a quaint sort Of hobble
effect.
In little box Of italian basketry,
bearing a card marked Grandmother
Nine" was fluffy jabot Of black and
white net, edged with tiny ruffies of

were slipped between covers Of white
linen. embroidered in q tiny wreath
pattern and tied at the top with bow
OF white ribbon, forming a pretty and
useful eye-glass polisher At the bot
tom Of the box was little grey gauze
fan, upon which Christina had painted
in water colors border Of violets in
delicate shades.
For His Babykins was one plain
little bonnet Of shocked china silk in
white with two pairs Of ties, and
another, more elaborate was also made
from china silk, embroidered in a
dainty eyelet pattern, but had a lining
of pale blue. There were several
pairs Of extra bonnet ties, simply hem
stitched across the end, with a row Of
Misunderstanding and tiny French knots
just above the hem. A couple Of white
pique bibs, with scalloped edges en-
broidered in white cotton had small
initial worked in the center.

was just beginning to write. so much
as the box OF note paper that had
been prepared for her. Christina had
cut out from a magazine various little
brownie-like figures, and pasted one on
each sheet Of paper, giving them
holiday touch by painting their funny
little skirts red and green.
With a fine wire and some small
pearl beads Christina had succeeded
in fashioning a splendid imitation of
those exquisite little pearl butterflies
that are so pretty worn with the ma
line neckbow. She had twisted the
wired beads into bow-knot, fastened it
at the center with bit OF thread,
which was covered by a separate piece
Of wire strung with larger beads that
she fastened about the joining. Dull
black beads, with the chou Of black
maine, formed suitable accessory
for the aunt who was wearing black
An attractive case for playing cards
had holly-wreathed card tucked into
it that was inscribed For My Friend,
the Solitaire Fiend" 1t was made
from a strip Of burlap a little wider
than a deck Of cards, and long enough
to form a pocket at one end, and a
flap to hold over at the other. 1t was
lined with soft grey chamois and the
edges bound with upholsterer's gimp in
silver. Patent buttons in each corner
Of the flap fastened it neatly.
A necktie holder and pin cushion all
in one had been cleverly constructed
from an embroidery hoop. The hoop
was first wound tightly with ribbon.
A fiat pincushion of silk to match, the
shape Of a half circle, was fitted into
the upper half Of the hoop. Rosettes
OF the ribbon finished it, at each side
and a long loop Of ribbon, with ends un-
der the rosettes, was attached SO that
it might be hung from dresser or gas
jet.
1t was thoughtful selection Of de-
lightful gifts, none Of them expensive
but not one Of them that would not
carry with it, like a fragrance, Chris
tina's affectionate regard, and evidence
Of her taste and ingenuity.

was able to see how the situation had
changed.
The girl had swung her car in clio
ser to the edge of the grove and nearer
to the struggling figures. Doubtless
she had some idea of helping. But
the effect of the change In the posi-
tion of her car was to permit the
searchlight of the other car to throw
its bright beam without interruption
down the road. And there, perhaps
SO feet to the southwark, cleaned
something white.
The girl could not see 1t, for her
car was headed north. But Arima
saw it, and in fash he realized what
1t was. The papers lay there at the
side of the road, where Orme had
tossed them a moment before the two
cars met.
There had been no other way to
dispose Of them. If the car from the
north had stopped at a different angle,
or if the other car had not moved, the
light would not have shone upon them,
and the Japanese might not have sus-
pected where they were. Or, If Orme
had tossed them q few feet farther to
one side, they would have been out of
the range of the light. But there they
lay.
Arima leaped toward them. Even

The Lance In War.

The lance as cavalry weapon has
justified its existence, military experts
agree, in the South African and the
Russo-Japanese war, in spite Of those
who decried the arm as old-fashioned
and cumbersome. The German mill
tary authorities still believe in shock
tactics and the cavalry charge, and
under these circumstances the lance
in the Prussian Uhlan's hands remains
a formidable weapon.
Experience, however, has also
shown that the lance point often
makes too deep wounds for the shaft
to be withdrawn quickly, and so the
lancer runs the risk of having II
wrenched from his grasp in the
charge. The cavalry regiments sta
toned at Brunswick and StrasburG
are experimenting with a new kind OF
lance which carries a ball below the
base of the lancehead, preventing Il
from penetrating further. It is said
that the new arm is just as effective
In disabling an enemy and Is free from
other disadvantages. It will probably
be adopted by all the German lancer
regiments.
