/LEXICo CITY, Dec. 27.-The run on
fthe Bank of London and Mexico was in
no way diminished today, double lines of
depositors extending out into the street
for half block. Payment on checks was
restricted, as on previous days, to 200
PESOS except for pay rolls and other
urgent requirements
The run on the Bank of London and
Mexico was reflected, but in a very
minor degree, on the other banks in the
capital.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-The situation
of foreigners in Mexico who have in
CURED the III will of the rebels is again
kiving some concern to state department
officials. The Japanese ambassador called
Ipday upon Acting Secretary Moore to re-
&uest that the United States government
90 what II could to protect japanese in
Juarez and in other border points.
There is some apprehension that these
Japanese may be made to feel the weight
OF resentment by the constitutionalists
because the federals are receiving supplies
of arms and ammunition from Japanese,
although il has already been pointed out
shat these goods are being delivered under
contracts made by Japanese merchants
1nst April.
Acting Secretary Moore, promised to
Il struct the American consuls in the rebel
. country to extend the same care to
' japanese as they would to American
citizens.
The American cruiser Pittsburgh. is
now at Mazatlan. Officials said tonight
that any OF the vessels would extend
succor to foreigners in any Pacific-Mexi-

prove true.

Mr.. HenshaW Talks about That
Question and Value In
creases of Property.

WASHINGTON Oct. 30 Railroad
corporations in making rates are en-
titled to charge for an increase in the
value OF their right of way only up to
certain limit, George l. Henshaw, a
member OF the Oklahoma corporation
commission, declared today In an adj
dress before the National Association
Of Railway Commissioners.
Mr.. Henshaw was discussing the
elements of appreciation in railroad
valuations in connection with ascer-
tanning such valuations for rate max
Ing purposes. He held that the In
creased value of real estate in ter
minals, right of way, etc, was largely
due to the railroads location which
Originally, belonged to the public
and that there was sgreat force to the
inquiry whether the public should not
share in their increase"
1T is conceded" said Mr.. Henshaw,
that the property of the Pennsylvania
railroad, surrounded by large cities,
has increased in commercial value
compared with property originally
costing the same amount but not so
fortunately located
Can it be insisted that because of
this increased comercial value, the,
Pennsylvania railroad should be en-
titled to increased toll for the use of
Its property because its location may
be worth as much or more than all
the investment on the location II "a
state grants to a railroad the right to
use pass between mountains, can
the company insist upon the puBlic's
paying interest upon an Investment
equal to the, tupneiinga on the, removs
ong of the monntaine fssS
My conclusions are that there
must be a limit TO the increased vail
ues of right OF way, because of the
building of large cities. or the par
:tcular location OF the railroad. What
that limit is must be determined by
the rules of equity, that is-what is
fair to the carrier and what is fair
to the public This statement may
APPEAR to mean but little. What j
mean to emphasize is that the value
Of right of way and terminal grounds
In large cities is not without limit as
compared with value OF adjoining
property when the value or use of
the adjoining property depends on
the existence Of the railroad"

have been on the Pacific coast one
year and last Sunday was onegef the
most pleasant days We have had since
coming here, We took a little ride
soilt to long Beactlss a coast. Of
some 1900 population Interesting
sights awaited us there, also cur!u
dealers galore, sready no 1seli- US aome
peculiar shaped sea shell at a fahu-
lous price. The beach Is nothing but
pure white sand which VII not isoil
the most delicate fabric, as It is
washed 4confinuaTiy by the waves.
Thousands of people throng this beach
every Sunday, lounging on the sand
or bathing in the surf Life guards
patrol the beach and keep sharp
lookout for. those who may go out to
depths beyond safety 1t is the under
current in which the inexperienced
bather looses his wits and often his
life. The waves roll in and up the
beach only to recede very rapidly,
and are met by an incoming wave
which is several feet higher than the
one going back, the receding one
simply slipping under the wall of
water coming in and this. is termed
the under current which goes, back 10
sea with great force. 1t was amazing
to us to see the way the bathers could
frolic in these waves.
At .l6;3g we saw our FIRST whale Or
whales might have said, as there
were dozens of them, schools ! be-
lieve they call them, all following one
monster which was some distance IN
the lead. and all going through the
same peculiar movements. IL this
happened to be the specie that Jonah
had some experience with his quarters
must have been somewhat uncomfort-
able but he certainly had plenty or
room ~
After viewing the sights at Long
Beach until 2:30 we all took boat
over to San Pedro, a distance OF sew
en- miles. This is natural deep water
harbor and the largest vessels enter
liere, yet the government is spending
vast sums OF money Improving 1t In
many ways IT. has built a break
water which extends out in the ocean
for three miles built of rock and con
crete. This keeps the big waves from
entering the harbor at all, and the
harbor is practically calm during a
storm. Here we saw large dredging
vessels at work bringing up tons Of
mud and sand from the bottom near
the shore, and it surely made faster
progress than some OF us boys did
a few years ago when we cleaned out
the 'old swimming hole" just below
Johnstown.
Four submarine boats were in the
harbor, anchored side by side. peculiar

THE MYSTERIOUS
URGE OF XMAS.

No matter how old you are,
how out of the run Of things, yet
no one can escape the feel of it.
1t is in the air. To feel the urge
is a sign that you are not yet as
dead or Indifferent as you think
you are after ali. No one can fair
ly say, Il am done with Xmas"
until none are left of neighbors
and friends and relatives or
children in the streets who may
be made happier by a kindly
thought or little deed. What
matters it if there are migrate
full people in the world, anyway
You are at least certain to feel
better for remembering Xmas
and trying to make some one
happy. Then go to it and be
happy and help to make some
one else happy this Xmas. The

IN THE SHADOW
OF THE GALLOWS.

A little While ago I stood by
the prison cell of a condemned
man and looked with pity upon
his tremulous being as he stood
gazing through the prison bars
Into open space, his mind, SEEM
lngly, buried in a bitter retro
spection of wasted life. Home
les, friendless, penniless and SEN
fenced to death on the gallows,
Emanuel Ford presents a sad
picture.
Five years ago h e murdered
another negro in this city, es-
capped and was a refugee for
five years. He was recently
caught in Columbia, S. c., and
brought back to Ben Hill Co.
Unable Ito employ counsel the
Court appointed two lawyers to
represent him. He was given
a fair trial, found guilty by the
twelve men chosen to determine
the verdict in his case, and was
sentenced to die on the gallows
January 9.
1t is not long before the day of
execution and unless he is grant
ed a new trial, Emanuel Ford
will pay the penalty on the gal
lows January 9th.
That he has been thinking
seriously Of the fate that awaits
him is shown in his careworn
face. He talks freely to anyone
who approaches him and firmly
proclaims his innocence. He de-
clares that he was elsewhere at
the time of the murder and that
he didn't know the party who
was killed.
As stood talking to Ford a
goodly number of people would
pass, evidently on their way to
makessarrangement for the happy
Christmas.that he, too, would like
to enjoy. But not so, for just
outside Emanuel sees in his
Imagination the horrible gallows
upon which he shall die. He

within his soul that he was as
happy as the free man who is
making ready for the Christmas
festival. He sees from his fell
lowmen's humble home the dim
lights, and he knows h e has
neither a homes nor a place 10

No, he can't even think of Xmas
for the thought of the approach
ing hour of death. He we'll knows
the happy hours that all enjoy
during the Christmas holidays and
says to himself: eli l could but be
