DEFEAT FOR UNION
SHOP FEDERATION is REFUSED
RECOGNITION BY SOUTHERN
PACIFIC RAILROAD.
ISSUE NOW UP TO WORKERS
Stand of Hartman Lines Chief Makes
Strike on Big Rail System Immi-
nent-No Further Conferences Are
Arranged for.

San Francisco.-The Southern Pa
cific Railroad company, through Jul
Illus Kruttschnitt, vice-president and
director Of maintenance OF the Harri-
man lines, absolutely rejected a de-
mand for recognition of the Fedora
ton of Shop Employees, comprising
five shop craft unions and $4,000 men.
Whether or not a strike shall be
called of all shopmen on the Harri-
man system rests with the national
officers now in this city.
F. w. AIhern of the Southern Pa
cific bureau of economy, spokesman
for Kruttschnitt, made this statement
just after the labor officials had left
the meeting room in the Flood build
ing: THE railway officials refused to
recognize the railway federation while
agreeing to discuss their demands
with the representatives of their in
dividual crafts.
LAS a basis for this refusal they
contended that the company cannot
conscientiously perform its proper du-
ties to the public, as a quast-public
corporation, and place in the hands
of any federation the power that
would necessarily be placed in any
such organization as was proposed"
The company's refusal to recognize
the federation is all that occurred at
the conference, and no further meet
ing between the railroad officials and
the union men has been arranged.
After they left Kruttschnitt's office
the labor officials refused to discuss
the conference, declaring they had
nothing to say. Their manner ind1-
Gated that their patience had been
tried by the four hours debate with
the railroad officials. They were
brusque and curt and their expression
indicated that the situation was seri-
Gus.
There can be no appeal from Krutt-
chnitt's decision. J. w. Kline, repre-
senting the shopmen, has received a
telegram from President Lovett of
the Hartman system saying that any
action resolved upon by the Off
Gals now here would be ratified by
the railroad company.
The Southern Pacific company con-
tinues to lay off men, between seven
ty-five and one hundred men from its
auditing staff having been dropped.
Most of these men have been en-
ployed as train auditors, whose work
will be done hereafter by conductors.

CONGRESSMAN DRUBS FOUR
Charles D. Carter Resents Alleged In.
suit to His Daughter by Clerk
in Washington Store.

Representative G. d.
Carter of Oklahoma created a deal of
excitement in fashionable f street
and incidentally gave a severe drub
bling to four clerks in a department
store whom he accused of insulting
his eighteen-year-oId daughter Miss
Italy Carter.
The Oklahoma congressman, who is
seven-siXteenths Indian, put one OF
the clerks out of commission with his
fists and later put the other three
who had come to the rescue of their
associate, to route with his cane.
He quickly departed from the store
and, placing his daughter In a pass
ing automobile, hurried to the nearest
station house, where he introduced
himself, and gave himself up. He
explained to Captain Hollinberger the
causes leading up to the trouble. He
was not detained.

YOUTH SAVES A SHIP
WIRELESS OPERATOR ON LEXING-
TON PROVES SELF A HERO.
Sticks to His Post Sending Calls for
Help When Vessel is Tossed
by Storm.

Charleston, S. C.-The IL passen-
gers and crew of A of tho steamer
Lexington declare they owe their lives
to the courage and bravery of Jack
Scheetz, the sixteen-year-old wireless
operator.
Storm-racked for "a hours, her nose
driven deep in the quicksands off
Hunting island, with seas dashing over
her, the Lexington threatened to
break up and fling her human cargo
to death in the seething waters.
But Young Scheetz did not despair.
Persistently he licked out his call for
help and kept the terror-stricken pas
sengers from abandoning hope. Final
ly terrific wave swept the ship and
wrecked the wireless station on board
For a moment it seemed that hope
was dashed, but Sheetz climbed into
the rigging and hastily fixed up a
station. In imminent danger of his
life from the high wind, which threat
ended to tear him from his seat, and
blinded by the spray, Scheetz sent out
his plea for aid. Suddenly through
the storm he was answered by the
revenue cutter Yamacraw, which had
heard his call, and came on the way
to save the lives of the Lexington's
crew and passengers

New York and New Jersey are max
ing joint study of the evils of cold
storage. A bill is pending in congress
looking to a reformation of the same
evil, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The question Is a large one, with
many angles. 1t Is not so much talked
about as it was year ago, but still
merits the attention Of legislative
bodies. Cold storage of food products
is a modern necessity. Rightly used,
1t serves the public by keeping prices
steady, by storing in the season Of
plenty for use in the season of nat
ural shortage. No one argues against
cold storage as an institution. 1t is
when food is held back in order to
maintain abnormally high prices,
when it is kept so long that it be-
comes poisonous, when cold storage
is made a curse instead of a blessing
to mankind, that government must
step in with restraining hand The
period of storage should be strictly
limited, and the sale of stored prod
ucts rigidly regulated.

OIL OCTOPUS EXPIRES
BIG COMBINE PASSES OUT AS RE-
SUIT OF COURT DECISION.
Standard of New Jersey, Great Hold
ing Concern, Must Reorganize-
Share Division Task Is Huge.

New York.-The Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey, the corporation
which has been the storm center of
antitrust agitation throughout the
country for years, has passed out of
existence, as far as its present form
and functions are concerned.
Henceforth this famous corporation
will cease officially to carry on its
operations as the head of vast or
ganization whose activities extend
into almost every part of the world.
In obedience to the decree of disso-
luton of the supreme court, it is to
relinquish it's control of the subsidiary
concerns.
The work of apportioning the COM
pany's holdings of the stock of more
than thirty subsidiaries affected will
occupy at least three months, it is ex-
pected, so that the readjustment will
not be complete prior to Deem
Der 1.
The New Jersey company, in addi-
ton to acting as the holding corpora
ton, conducts large oil business and
has extensive property holdings. The
company, however, has never made a
public report, and no opportunity has
been afforded for gauging the value of
its business, and Of its tangible
assets
An official of the company said that
the only element of doubt as to the
general effect of reorganization on
the present stockholders lay in the
ability Of the constituent companies,
operating independently, to produce
as large a total of profits as has been
possible under the present form of
management. AS to whether this can
be done, he said, only the future will
disclose.

FRIENDS OF THE FARMER.

The Department of Agriculture has
come to the relief of the grosbeak.
He is very much maligned bird,
this high authority ayers, and instead
of being destructive to crops, is Of
great benefit to the farmer. A bulle-
tin just issued by Secretary Wilson
says that seven kinds of f1nches
known as grosbeaks summer within
the boundaries of the United States.
They are easily distinguished from
other finches by their stout form,
bright plumage, massive bills and
melodious voices. Those which most
berthe rose-breasted, the cardinal or
redbird, the black-headed, the blue
and the gray. The bulletin concludes
as follows: Present Investigations
prove that the services of the gros-
beak in destroying insect pests are in
valuable. Each kind pays especial at
tention to certain pests which If I'M
checked would cause enormous loss.
Few of our birds are to be credited
with more good and with fewer evils
than the grosbeak, and none more
clearly deserves protection by the
practical farmer" The probability is
that the farmer would do better to
protect the whole race of birds than
to look with liberation on their indis-
criminate slaughter

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

about two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, it just seemed as
though [ could tear the skin all off, |
would scratch them and the skin would
peel off, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor-
ried me very much, as l had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
l was so afraid | would have to give
up my employment.
my doctor said he didn't think 1t
would amount to anything. But 1t kept
getting worse. One day saw piece
in one of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and was cured. / decided to try
them, and my hands were all healed
before / had used one cake of Cuti-
GuId OluLul6ALs dll Truly
for the good results from the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them
I was cured, and did not have to lose
day from work. / have had no re-
turn of the skin trouble" (Signed)

ment are sold everywhere, sample

BOOST FOR JUDGES
TAFT WOULD MAKE SIS, 900 THE
SALARY OF SUPREME COURT
JUSTICES.
BOSTON TALK TO LAWYERS
President Urges Reforms in Legal Pro-
cedure, Favors Patent Tribunal and
Defends Arbitration Treaties-Ju-
dicial Recall Denounced.

Boston.-Addressin the American
Bar association in convention here,
President Taft denounced by inference
the recall as applied to the judiciary,
and urged the adoption Of the arbitra-
ton treaties. He also spoke of the need
OF reform in legal procedure.
He declared that the Initiative
should be taken by lawyers and said
that it always gave him great pleas
use to speak upon this subject from
pulpit" where his hearers would I'M
derstand him.
The president said there was need
for advancing judicial salaries so that
the best men of the bar" might be
secured for the various courts. The
United States circuit judges, he said,
are not paid so well proportionately
as are the United States district
judges.
II think" said the president, that
the salaries of Supreme court justices
should be placed at $4,000 year."
Coming to the question of the pow
er of the courts, the president spoke
with vehemence. Thank God" he
said, Eve had John Marshall and his
associates to decide that the courts
are the ultimate tribunal to make the
laws that the legislature enacts
square with the constitution"
Reviewing briefly the general arbi-
tration treaties with Great Britain
and France, the president made it
plain that he did not believe that the
objections to the treaties were valid.
A resolution denouncing the princi-
pie of the recall of judges was adopt
ed by large majority. 1t declared
that 'the application to judges of the
principle of recall would create a judi
ciary whose decisions would not rest
upon the law of the land, but would
be Influenced by transient public SEN
timent; and that the establishment of
such judiciary would be destructive
Of our system of government" 1t was
voted that the president of the asso-
citation appoint a committee represent
ing each state and territory ito take
such steps as the committee deemed
best to expose the fallacies of judi
cial recall"

They were buried in a mass of twist.

That none was killed is regarded as
little short of miraculous, and 1t is
due to the fact that the falling cage
was checked somewhat in it's descent
from the eighteenth to the fifth floor
by an unwinding cable.
The crash of the falling cage was
heard all over the building and even
on the street outside, and hundreds
rushed to the scene of the accident.
