Bristol will be made the end of the
line. Bethel, Gwyn & Co. are the Bris-
tol agents. The first steamer has just
arrived, bringing a cargo of $1,000
cases of canned goods. At meeting,
recently convened by the Bristol in
corporated Chamber of Commerce and
Shipping, Mr.. Manning Lewis of the
Bristol Decks Office, gave the follow
ing report of his trip to Canada and
the United States in connection with
efforts to open up this service. He
said:
Previous to 1908 practically the
only traffic that came direct from the
Pacific Coast of North America to this
port was an occasional cargo of grain
and lumber. The important and grow
ing trade in North American canned
goods by Bristol merchants was de-
pendent on vessels to other ports,
whence it was transshipped here. That
not only meant a higher cost, but also
increased handling, and the local mer-
chants were therefore handicapped in
competition with merchants of other
ports. About that time the firms deal
ing in canned goods formed them
selves into an association for mutual
protection and securing united action
in questions affecting their particular
trade.
zone of the first matters to which
the attention of the members was di-
rected was the desirability of securing
direct shipments for the important
trade done from Pacific Coast ports to
Bristol. With that object in view, the
association opened up communications
with the docks authorities, which re-
suited in meetings being arranged, the
docks chief freight agent being invit-
ed to attend to consult as to how the
desired end might be attained. The
outcome was that the port authorities,
acting in conjunction with the associa-
ton, after approaching numerous ship
owners in this country without sue
cess, eventually induced the Char.
geurs Reunis Steamship Company of
France to give the project trial. Ow
ing, however, to the subsidy on the
various steamers falling through, the
company at the commencement of 1911
relinquished the whole service. That
line having ceased running, negotia-
tons were reopened and numerous
ship-owners again approached to take
up the business. The result was that
an arrangement was finally effected
for the Maple Leaf Line to run to this
port"
Mr.. Lewis also dwelt at length on
the traffic developments which were
expected with the opening of the Pan
anna Canal.

HEROINE OF HONEY
CREEK FLOOD DIES.

BOONE Qowa), January 21.-Kate
Shelby, heroine of the Honey creek
flood disaster IN 1881, died today AZ
her home, quarter of a mile from
the Moingona bridge, across the Des
Moines river, the scene of her heriOc
deed. Six months ago she was operat-
ed on for appendicitis and before she
recovered Bright's disease set in.
During a violent storm, thirty years
ago, Miss Shelby, who was station
agent at Moingona, crossed the bridge
over the Des Moines river on her
hands and knees at midnight in order
to flag passenger train on the Chic
ago and Northwestern Railroad to
save it from plunging into Honey
creek, over which the bridge had
been washed away.
A yard engine with an engineer and
two fireman went through the Honey
creek bridge, which is only short
distance from the Moingona bridge,
and Miss Shelby realized that she
must act quickly in order to save the
passenger train from disaster With
her lantern she succeeded in stopping
the train only few feet from the
broken bridge.
For her bravery the Iowa Legisla-
ture awarded her a medal and a sum
of money. She also received sub
stantial recognition from the railroad
company as well as many contribu-
tions from various parts of the coun-
/ try.
Although in comfortable circum-
stances she preferred to work as sta
ton agent at Moingona up to the time
of her illness.

CHANGE OF RULES

|. PETTY F|L|BUSTERS
Committee Discharge Call,
|. Manipulated by Minority,
Ia, Made Harmless.

Over the indignant protests of the
minority, the Rules Committee of the
House made a simple little amendment
yesterday to the rules, which will pre-
vent long filibusters on the motion
10 discharge calendar"
On the first and third Mondays In
each month the calendar calls are in
the following order: unanimous con-
sent, motions to discharge committees,
and motions to suspend the rules. The
calendar IL always loaded with motions
TO discharge committees from various
bills, and q little fllibuster by the mi
nortty, led by that adroit filibuster,
Mr.. Mann of Illinois, means that the
suspend the rules" motions may never
be reached.
Congressman Henry, chairman Of the
Rules Committee, brought in a resolu-
ton today which moved up the rules
suspension motions a peg, placing them
ahead Of the motions to discharge COM
mittees. II the rules may be suspended
nrst, numerous bills might be jammed
through which otherwise could not be
| reached because of the well filled mo
tions TO discharge committees' calen-
/ dar.
Minority members protested against
the change today. Mr.. Mann delayed
matters few minutes by making the
vpoint of no quorum, but the rules fin
/ ally were amended by the solid Dem
ocratic majority, and II will be diff
cult hereafter for the minority to fili-
buster on motions to discharge COM
mittees.
The significance Of the change is seen
when 1t is remembered that last session
