RATE ADVANCE
 |S SWEEPING
Announcement From the Southern Pacific and San ta Fe General Offices Dis turbing to Coast Shippers and Others
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcHl

SAN FRANCISCO. July 25.-An- nOuncement of a sweeping advance in tTanscontinental freight rates in some instances amounting to as much as hundred per cent was made today at the general offices of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroad compan- ies following the receipt of advance copies of new rates of tariffs from eastern officials.
 These increases are due, so the com- panies state, to the rigid enforcement of the long short haul clause and the successful complaint of intermediate points against terminal rates, based on water competition.
 EastboUnd rates are principally af- fected, particularly as to shipments in car load lots. All California products going east after August 19 will move under all advance ranging from 75 to 100 per cent. On September west bound rate will become operative at a sufficient increase to destroy all ben eft of water competition now enjoyed by shippers.
 All the coast sea ports will feel the change heavily since the rates between terminals will be made on the same scale as the terminal rate.
 Heretofore merchants at coast ports have had the advantage of water com petition as against eastern competitors since the charge from the eastern ter minal to an inland point on the Pa- cific slope amounted to the entire through rate plus the local charge from the coast terminal back to the point destination.
 The new rates were compiled in Chi oago by the chief freight traffic off cers of the roads concerned. They worked under what is known as the western classificationS committee. It is said he re that the new schedules are in strict compliance with the rulings of the interstate commerce commission and that in return for the commissions approval the roads have consented to let the present contests drop.
 Meantime both sides are waiting the outcome of the inter mountain case now on appeal to the United States supreme court This case was one through which the commission laid down the doctrine of an equalized tar if.
 The westbOund charges are less rad ical than eastbound, ranging from about p to 40 per cent.

MARYLAND PROGREssVEs.

BALTIMORE, July 25.-Maryland progressive republicans assembled here in mass convention today and selected sixteen delegates with half a vote each and d like number of alter mates to the national progressive con- vention at Chicago on August ,. Res olutiOns were adopted empowering a committee of seven to select eight presidential electors independent of those named on the regular Taft tic ket and declaring that no electOr now on the Taft ticket shall be placed on the progressive ticket unless he first resigns The significance of the lat ter clause lies in the fact that six of the existing electors on the republ- can ticket are Roosevelt men.
 The resolutions denounced the ac- tion of the republican national con vention and it's decisions in the cases of the contesting delegations. It wig orously attacked both of the old par ties on the ground that they are boss ridden and cannot give relief to the people and declared that a great ma ioritv of the republicans of this state, "llnowing that the laws of Maryland do not permit ROOSeVeltS name to be pIaced on the ballot under the party designation containing the word re nublican.' are nevertheless willing to support him as a candidate for the presidency without regard to the par ty name under which he may run.

scatterbraln Hunters.

Nearly a hunter per day has been
killed in the forests of Michigan
during the fall shooting season. In
Wisconsin IL hunters were killed
and 10 dangerously wounded All
over the country, 80 casualties in
the deer woods, this season, are re-
ported.
In the wide spaces of the great
west there are still vast tracts
where the hunter can blaze away
and hit nothing more vulnerable
than a mountain. In the rest of
the country, the areas of wild land
are yearly becoming more con
tracted. The time is coming when

trigger.
Probably the worst trouble does
not come from the men who have
the reputation of being the most
reckless. The cowboy may pull his
gun in a Nevada saloon, merely be
cause the tenderfoot asked toe
many questions. When he gets out
in the woods, every motion of wild
life is correctly read by him. The
tenderfoot would be much safer
shooting with Alkali Ike than with
cautious John Smith, who has gone
out in the woods for a vacation from
coupon clipping.
II is the man from the Office in his
spruce hunting suit and with fancy
rifle who is the real peril. The life
OF the woods is new and strange to
him. The thousand signs by which
the woodsmen detect the presence
of game are an unknown tongue.
The fever for killing is not dulled
by experience. He blazes away at
the first thing that moves. There
being a hunter for every deer, the
only thing that saves the sports
men is that they are such bad shots.
The farmer has his own views
about all this. After the fun is
over he has his own personal ac-
count to add up. There are domes-
tic animals killed by chance shots.

Seventh Round in Paris.
Paris, Dec. 4.-Billy Papke, the
American fighter, tonight defeated
George Bernard, a Frenchman, for
the middleweight championship, a
big purse and an ivory belt especial
ly designed for the occasion.
Papke was awarded the decision in
the seventh round when the French
man was unable to respond to the
call of time.
Bernard, who was announced as
Frances last hope" never had a
chance. In the first five rounds
Papke allowed Bernard to do all the
work, but the Frenchman was unable
to do any appreciable harm. In the
sixth round Papke began to fight in
earnest. The Frenchman went to
the floor twice, just managing to
struggle to his feet within the ten
seconds. But he was in such a state
of collapse that when the seventh
round was called he could not leave
his chair and the referee counted him
out.
