UNCLE, SANS FINE RAILROAD
Panama Road Is Model Of Efficiency
and Economy and Shows
Good Profits. J. = 'g7

# The first heterodox fact which is
likely to surprise the visitor FROM
home is the sight of high power To-
connective, with "U S." stenciled on
the cab. says Albert Edwards In. his
article, THE; Lesson of Panama" IN
Success Magazine. There are two
railroads on the canal zone owned
and operated by the government: the
lsthmian canal commission system;
used exclusively for construction pur-
poses, and the Panama railroad, which
besides helping In the canal work,
does large and profitable CONNER
cial business. 49, ,}f
Compared with other tropical rail-
roads the p. z. r. is model of eff
cheney and economy in every depart
ment., There is no system at home so
thoroughly equipped with safety appli-
.ances. The accident rate both tor
employees and passengers sets a stand
ard which none Of our privately OWL
ed lines have ever approached. The
two systems together operate about
800 miles of track in the zone, and
carry more traffic per mile. than any
railroad In the states. except few
terminal systems like that Of the Chi
zago stock yards. - ''''".r

HOW THE Raj D PHONE WORKS.
Hans Won kramer's System for Telo-
4 phonic Communication Between
Moving Trains To- Explained.

A new invention OF great impor-
lance has just been perfected, through
which telephone communi cation be-
tween moving trains iss mad possible.
Though many efforts have becn made
In this direction, the matter had not
been definitely solved In really prac-
,tacable~ and comparatively inexpensive
manner. The new system. which has
been given the name "Railophone."
has been patented In almost. All .coun-
tries. &; - = e
The inventor is; q German OWL en-
gfneer. Hans Won Kramer, Who has
made nag = / this branch Of; telsphoning his
special study for number, Of years.
n Mr.. Won Kramer claims that, while ON
q moving train, he can put himself
IN telephone communication with any
other, train also in motion, moving In
no matter what direction, If 1t be pro:
vided, with one Of his apparatuses. ~
The principal part III the installa-
ton Is in an; arrangement Of electric
wires in frame fastened beneath the
foot railing or other convenient place
OF the railway car This frame can
be lowered and raised as occasion re-
quires. Through an ingenious scheme
all the telegraph oraitelephone poles
along the line are utilized and their
functions center in a regular ftele-
phone booth installed where judged
most convenient.
In Important and regular daily long
distance trains the intention is to in
stall complete switchboards, which
from their connection with both tele-
graph and telephone wires, may be
utilized for both telephone and tele-
graphic messages. While no secrets
have been divulged, the apparatus
does not appear to be a complicated
one. A large coil of wire Is placed on
the roof of the car with it's plane ver-
tical and parallel to the rails. Its
ends ara connected with telephone
receiver installed in oundproof
booth inside the car.
This coil is inductively affected by
fixed circuit composed Of an over
head telegraph wire and a cable car
ried alongside the rail, and connected
with telephone transmitter at sta
ton. Each track is provided with a
circuit of this kind, which enables the
operator on the moving train to es-
tablish direct service without any
transfer and consequent liability to err
rOr.

not as high as they should have been.
The Devils Lake boys were defeated
by grand total of 497 pins for all
three ganes. The next games of the

FIRE DEPARTMENT
PREVENTS BIG FIRE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK HAS
VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Building Next to Bank Caught Attire
Mysteriously Shortly After Mid
niht and Was Blazing Fiercely
When Discovered.

At 1910 a. m. fire was discovered
in the rear of the First Nationa
Bank building on Elizabeth and 11tI
streets.
From the glare in the sky it al
first looked as though the fire had
made great headway and that the
whole block might be consumed.
The fire department responded
with remarkable speed. considering
the lateness of the hour Upon the
arrival of the department, the build
ing on fire was found to be the rear
end of the building occupied by
Schroeder, the photographer. 1t was a
shed. 1t looked at first as if the
whole block was doomed The heat
and flames had also spread to the
stairway and balconies at the back of
the First National Bank, and adjoin-
ing store. 1t looked as if the bank
building were lost
The water supply was good. The
department promptly laid a line Of
hose and played on the balconies and
stairways quickly extinguishing the
fire that had spread The line was
then turned on the blazing rear
shed itself, which was a large lean
to, or shed, built Of studding and
boards, and in five minutes after the
arrival of the firemen the fire was
practically out
The origin of the fire is supposed
to have been caused by defective
wiring.
The department did excellent
work and showed good judgment in
handling the blaze.
The neighbors had a bad scare,
and many boxes of valuables were
moved from the First National Bank
into the street while the fire was
progressing.
The damage will be slight, outside
the loss to Schroeder, and the
burning or charring of the rear bal
comics, probably the greatest loss
will fall on the stOreroom adjoining
the bank which is also occupied by
Schroeder the photographers The
damage here will be occasloned by
smoke and water, the stream from
the hose inundating the interior
Schroeder is understood to be partly
insured.
Brownsville must congratulate
herself that the good work of her
fire department prevented what
might have been a really disastrous
conflagration.

DEMAND FOR CABBAGE
/. CONTINUES EXCELLENT
COUNTRY PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE
VALLEY TRUCK FARMERS
Our Cabbage is Bringing $4S00 to
$4,000 Per Ton f. 0. b. Stations,
and Demand is in Excess of Pres
ent Supply.

The Lower Rio Grande Valley
is at the present time shipping the
only good green cabbage in the
United States No other section of
the country is able to offer this de-
scription of product so early in the
year this season.
The current price being now paid
for good green cabbage is from SIS
to $50 per ton f. 0. b. cars at local
stations, and the fact that at these
prices the demand is greater than
the supply is guarante that there
will not be a drop in prices until
conditions change.
This is a tribute to the excellence
of the climate of the Valley for early
truck raising, all such crops else
where having been damaged by the
extremely cold winter that has been
experienced.
Other localities are said to be
quoting stuff at somewhat lower
prices than our farmers are obtain
ing. and this has caused rumors that
break in the market is imminent
Investigation, however, tends tc
show that the cabbage offered al
lower quotations is much inferior tc
,,-s,
choice goods must buy in our mar
ket. and that there will be no diff
ficulty in securing the price for good
green cabbage for the next two Oh
three weeks. which is about the
earliest good cabbage from other dis
tricts can come into the market, and
by which time our crop will prae,
tically all be moved
I II is. of course. the province o.
the cash buyer in the Valley to tall
expected break in market" anC
sales at lower prices elsewhere
this il his business. But the farmer
who has good cabbage coming in, car
rely upon getting the top price OF
account of the superiority of the ar
ticle he is producing. The fame o
the quality of the Lower Rio Grand'
cabbage is becoming known through
out the length and breadth of tn
land, and quality gets the price.

FAILURE TO SUPPLY
GLASSES TO LOOKOUT
SEVERELY BLAMED BY SENATE
WITNESSES.
Man Who Was in Lookout Had
Asked for Binoculars at South
hampton and Was Told that They
Would Not Be Provided.
Associated Press.

/ Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., April %
Two witnesses were heard before tn,
senate committee investigating tn,
Titanic disaster today. They agreed
that failure to provide binocular.
or SPY glasses for the lookout on the
steamer was one contributing cause
that the ship was lost and to the loss
Of more than 500 lives.
Frederick Fleet, the lookout or
the liner, acknowledged that if he
had been aided by a good glass he
probably could have spied the ice
berg in time to have warned the
bridge and prevented the collision.
He said he asked for glasses al
southampton, before the boat sailed
but was told there were none for the
lookout.
Major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen,
the Canadian manufacturer and
yachtsman, who was among the res
cued passengers, testified to the
greater sweep of vision afforded by
binoculars and, as a yachtmans, he
said he believed the presence of the
berg might have been known in time
to escape the collision had the look
out men been supplied with them.
Peuchen criticized in strong terms
the lack of experienced sailors on
board the ship
Herbert J. Pittmann, the third
officer, who later had charge of one
of the life boats, told of his failure
to turn back his life boat TO attempt
to rescue others when the Titanic
went down. y7The passengers aboard
his boat insisted that to go back
meant their destruction, and after
he had ordered the oarsmen to row
back to the sinking ship he rescind-
ed the order.
Shuddering at the recollection, he
said the cries for help made lone
long continuous moan"
Bruce lsmay, the managing direc-
tor of the White Star line, and Vice
President Franklin, of the company
urged the committee today to per-
nit them to RETURN to New York
The committee declined.

Of brigandage, the numbering Of

lean goods in the state Of Vera Cruz.
Mexico, were related in detail to
Special Deputy Collectors Of Customs
A. J. Rosenthal by band of refugees
who arrived today from Mexico
aboard the steamer Texas.
Madison H. Ish, former attorney
Of Omaha, Neb., and at one time
quartermaster in the United States
army, with the rank of captain,
acted as the leader of the Americans
in their flight to the United States.
The refugees are vigorous in their
denunciation of the Madero govern
ment and they assert that little. pre-
tense is made to protect American
lives and interest.
Before leaving Salina Cruz the
party filed claim aggregating
$4,000 against the Mexican gov
ernment with Lewis II Haskell, the
American consul.
Ish tells of the murder of an
American citizen named Wait.
"Wait was neighbor to me-" said
Ish HE had sold several head of
cattle and hidden the money. A
band of desperadoes came to his
hacienda and demanded money. Fail
ing to get it they deliberately be-
headed him, herded his cattle to-
gether and drove them off.
There are many instances just
like this
John t. McGee, a planter, said the
bandits went to the home of a man
named Shay. When money and
arms were not forthcoming they beat
Mrs. Shay on her feet until the bones
were broken.
Other refugees allege similar
brutalities.
