BIG TRAFFIC WAR

New York. august 24.--The passenger
and freight war between the North
German Lloyd and Hamburg American
steamship companies will completely
disorganize tho Atlantic shipping pool
and force all the English lines into the
fight as we'll, according to information
here day
Both Carl Won Helmont. general man
ager OF the North German Lloyd. and
Juilus L. Meyer, Vice director OF the
Hamburg American. have been in Ger

AS steamers OF both the Lloyd and
hamburg lines touch at English and
French ports. IL reduction in rates would
compel other lines to mako similar cuts
to hold their business AS rctaliatory
move. inc Cunard Steamship Company
already is contemplating sending
steamers OF the London Southampton-
Montreal service to continental ports.
Shipping men in this city predict
that the war will go down in history as
tho fercest ever fought by maritime
ihtelcstS' reduction or rates from
North Atlantic ports will affect rates
from Mediterranean ports. The LLOYD
ana Hamburg lines are closely interest
cd with the African, Asatic and South
American trade and both have declared
the battle will be wased wherever their
vessels go.
Rate war rumors have been in circu-
latton for some time, and that the pres
ent has been selected as the opportune
moment for split is accounted for by
the fact that the North Atlantic pool
terminates at the end of this year and
that the subsidy the North German
Lloyd receives from the Gerann gov
eminent for its East Asiatic service
ends next year

stated that death had evidently been
instantaneous
He had been dead only few min
utes when found. He had his pistol
in his right hand. and many think the
shooting was accidental, but owing TO
the position of the wound and the fact
that the shell of his automatic pistol
could not be found, the popular theory
is that an attempt was made to rob
the Office. and when Harrison got his
pistol. which he always kept conve-
nient. the burglar shot him. and as the
train was approaching. he made his
escape.
No Clue TO Work Upon.
Residents OF the town are at an
utter loss to assign any cause for the
killing. There is no clue whatever to
work upon. Harrison was an cxem-
plary young man. and was not known

was suggested by some as possible
cause, nothing is missing. The shoot
ing evidently occurred within the little
room In the station, as all OF the win
dows In the little office were found shut
down tight when Conductor Calvin
walked in.
Bloodhounds were sent up from the
state farm to-day. but owing to the
length of time between the shooting
and their arrival they have not been
able to do anything. Detectives also
are on the scene anu at work, but as
there is absolutely no clue up TO this
time. 1t may be that 1t will never be
known whether it was murder or ac-

all Japan is eager for war with the

shall have been cxtinguishcd. he said:
THE feeling" Mr.. ialluday added. lis
not so much that Japan and tho United
states Will come to blows. but that the
white and yellow races must fight out
their differences. The way In which
the yellow man has been treated by the
white Is the foundation for this feel
ing. The situation In California is not
the fundamental trouble. but II has ag-
sravatcd it and appears on the sur
face as the chief cause or discord be-
tween Japan and the United States"
Mr. Halliday also says that the eX-
change of peace proofs and the peace
preaching OF American missionaries are
distastcful to the Japanese people for
war is in their hearts and they wei
