OCEANIC LINE

Big Lines Coming.

Another matter that must be taken
into consideration is the fact that four
Of the largest steamship companies
now running to Australia will un-
doubtedly use the Panama canal as a
route. Already the P. & o. and the
Orient companies have been discuss
ing the matter and Sir Kenneth Ander-
son, managing director of the last
named company, passed through here
on a trip of inspection in the MaKura
last month.
1t is taken as a matter of course by
the Australian press that the White
Star line will come through the canal
instead of taking the roundabout route
via South Africa. The Nord Deutscher
Lloyd is also understood to be looking
into the matter of running its boats
this way.
Big Boats for CA.
With all this competition in view the
Oceanic line, if it hopes to make a
success, must be able to guarantee its
steamers and not leave the matter to
any chance.
The Union company, which controls
the CanadiGn-Australia line, has al
ready ordered a mammoth liner of
1880 tons which should be on the run
between Sydney and Vancouver about
February of next year, Details of this
boat were published in the Star about
six weeks ago. The Huddart Parker
Line, which also has an interest in the
CA. run, has ordered a sister vessel
and the competition will be keen.
At the same time there can be nc
doubt that the Sonoma is the finest
vessel on the run at the present time
and will with her sister ships be able
to keep hold of the trade when once
worked up.
Will Boom Honolulu.
Incidentally all this means a great
deal for Honolulu in the future and the
present harbor facilities will have tc
be greatly altered to meet the demand
that will be created by the coming OF
the big lines with their palatial

A NniinnnI Problem.

| London, March 2O-The strike of
the coal miners became more of a ma
tlonal problem today following confer
enccs held ly tho miners union COM
mittee and the committee of the opcr-
ators.
While these conferences We're separ-
ate their conclusions were the same
/ Both condemned the proposal minimum
wage scale bill OF the governments
Both asserted that the bill was so
, framed as to defeat rs purpose The
failure to incorporate a penalty for
violation, was especially criticized.
In a statement issued after the con-
| ference, the operators committee said
that the bill contained no guarantees
= that the members would live up to its
provision. They insisted that II ut
terly failed to protect the employer
from miners who failed to work faith
1 fully and that II was so loosely drawn
that unendlng litigation over its pro-
visions was certain.
The miners committee also insisted
that It utterly failed 10 protect the
employer from miners who failed TO
work faithfully and that It was so
! loosely drawn that unending litiga-
ticn over its provisions was certain.
The miners committee also insisted
that II was inadequate in that the
only recourse that n miner who re-
celved less than the minimum scale
/ had was q civil suit against the em-
,ployer, which would cost more than 1t
would be worth.
Meanwhile, the government officials
are preparing to get the bill through
the house and signed by the king not
later than Saturday. They believe that
80 far as the English miners are CON
cerned they will accept It's provisions
and that mining will be resumed in
! England next week. With these mines
, in operation, the government believes
the Scotch and Welsh mine owners
must give in. Otherwise. they will lose
trade as they will be unable to supply
the demand for coal, while the Eng
! llsh miners by operating TO capacity,
can get many regular customers away
, from their trade rivals Fear of this,
the officials say, will end the strike
everywhere.
Delegates Of the Scottish miners here
/ this afternoon wired Instructions 10

sumption of the work on Monday.

How She Learned While in
Prison to Make a Complete
Woman Of Herself.

IN the jail yard at Hackensack, n. j.,
to carry out the mandate Of the law
that she lie hanged, Mrs. Antoniette
Tolla today stepped from train in
the Pennsylvania station here a free
woman.
Her life was saved through agita-
tion that became countrywide and
finally resulted in its being demon
strated that she murdered Joseph SON
tarea because he had tried to debauch
her and win her from her husband.
The woman spent six years in pri-
son.
Today, Mrs. Tolla said that she
wanted 10 devote the remainder Of
her life to caring for her husband
Giovanni Tolla, and their two children
She explained that she learned artls-
tic embroidery while In prison and she
can now both speak and write almost
perfect English.
Today Mrs Tolla was given check
for S1l2.S7 a fund that was contributed
through the Cincinnati Post for the
benefit Of her children. She said she
would use it to establish her family in
a better home than they have had.
The difference between the woman,
an absolutely ignorant peasant when
first arrested, following the murder
in 1905. and her husband was strongly
contrasted today. She had utterly
changed while in prison. As they con-
versed In their native tongue. the
woman urged her husband to try and
take advantage Of American institu.

"Giovani," she said, "you must go
to night school. You must learn to
speak and write English. 1t is easy
and I will help you"
Half comprehending, the husband. a
stolid italian of the laboring type.
, shrugged his shoulders and assented.
The woman told an interesting story
, of her experiences I'm the New Jersey

herself for the fight for existence
