ALL ABOUT THEM N

SEATTLE, Jan. 11.-At a banquet
which was given by the medical men
of the State in this city yesterday
Richard ~. Rallinger, the resigned
secretary of the interior in the Taft
cabinet, was one of the few outsiders
who We're invited to attend and was
one of the chief speakers of the occa-
sion. His remarks were in the nature
of eulosy on educated public men.
especially scientific men.
During his remarks the former
cabinet official declared that the scien-
iifc men are not sufficiently respected
by the people. Especially was this SO
in America. He stated that, held up
to the world as men of ability and
knowledge. the scientific men are con-
sinually besieged by the people for
assistance and help. Then as their
demands are not always granted
they become troublesome and attempt
to injure their benefactors Too many
people. he declared. with tongues
hanging out, were always prepared to
Historically proclaim their rights.

Three thousand federal soldiers, in
Guiding nine generals who were in

crossing the border and have surrend-
cred to the American authorities. Six
of these commanders We're also in
charge of the defense at Juarez which
surrendered over a month ago, at
which time they succeeded in making
their escape to Ojinaga. Five wagon
loads of Huerta documents We're
brought to this city from across the
river, and are believed to include all
of the valuables which could be col
lected before the city was given up.
Many of the federal soldiers have

To DIVIDE DEPT.
OF AGRICULTURE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 11.-A
plan has just been perfected to merge
the thirteen bureaus of the depart
ment of agriculture and then to form
five large offices, each being separ-
ate department of the government. AS
the formation OF two separate offices
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor has proved such success it is
now planned to make a similar change
in the agricultural department, except
that the change would be more radi
cal.
AS the bureaus classified under the
head of the Agricultural department
are so numerous and diversified it is
argued that to form separate offices
would result in a more efficient ad
minstration of the affairs The re-
commentator, of the change was made
by the Secretary of Agriculture, David
f. Houston, who finds that he has
such wide range of subjects to
handle that efficiency is impaired.

MAY NAME NEW
SUFFRAGE COM

WASHINGTON, D. c., jan lit
was declared on good authority today
that it is entirely probable that the
house committee on rules would
be converted into standing
committee on equal suffrage and that
such action will be taken when con-
gress reconvenes. Representative Ro-
bert l.. Henry of Texas, chairman of
the rules committee when interviewed
today declared that such had been in
timated to him, and that it was very
likely that his committee would be
named to take up the suffrage ques
tion.
1t had been planned to take up the
woman's suffrage question this month
but the long time taken up in the con-
sideration of the currency measure
has delayed action. Now the Alaska
railroad bill and the regulation of
the trusts is on hand and will probab-
ly delay the suffrage question still
longer. probably until next summer or
fall.

NEW EXPEDITION
FOR ANTARCTIC

LONDON, Jan. l1.-Preparations are
now being made in this city for the
formation of another Antarctic eX
ploration trip which will be made un-
der the auspices of the Great Britain
Geographical society. Explorer Rouge
mony viii head the expedition which
is largely financed by Millionaire
Tooth of Australia, who has sub
scribed a quarter of million dollars
to the fund. The expedition will
leave England late this summer and
next fall a start will be made for
the south from New Zealand.
One of the objects of the expedition
is to locate the Inflated Scott party,
who made the dash to the pole about
year ago. No attempt will be
made to find the south pole but the
time will be spent in exploring the re-
gion adjacent to the pole and obtain
ing scientific notes. The ship will
head for King Edward VII. Land and
South Victoria Land where extensive
explorations are to be made.

WORKERS AFTER
FOOD OR LABOR

WOODBURY.. Ore, Jan. II. - A
small army of men, many of them
said to be members of the Industrial
Workers of the World invaded the
quiet little village of Woodburn this
morning. They were hungry, demand
ed either work or food, and frighten-
ed the mayor until he appealed by
wire to the governor, asking what he
could or should go. The starving hordes
evidenced a disposition to eat with
out invitation. and the people of
the town, anticipating this, fed them
without waiting for word from Gov
ernor West.
The men We're on their way north
to Salem where some public work is
reported to be in progress. They had
come up from California where the
state is over-run with unemployed
men who have flocked there in the
hope of finding work on the eXposi-
tion grounds. AS there can not possl-
bly, be jobs enough at Salem for
more than few of the army, they
will probably keep on the move north
to Seattle

C0ULDN' 7 REFORM
THE NEWSP APERS

BTLLINGHAM. Wash, Jan. 11.-Af-
ter conducting an unsuccessful news
paper fight for the public, Banker
Purdy has sold out all his interests
in newspapers of the state in which
he was interested. Several years ago
Purdy began acquiring interests in
newspapers in various of the sound
cities, buying interests in offices in
which Samuel a. Perkins. the wealthy
newspaperman of this state, who owns
string of newspapers in the largest
cities in Washington, holds the con-
trolling interests.
He declares that his object was to
prevent the newspaper fights which
have been waged and which have in
jured the communities which they
We're meant to serve. After a few
years in the newspaper line he has
found that his mission is a failure
and impossible as he was unable
through his lack of control to dictate
the policies. Although most of his
newspaper ventures have proved sue
cessful he has a distaste for all pub
lications and declares he has with
drawn from that field for good.

FREE TRADE At
PANAMA CANAL

WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 1l.-Ac
cording to a bill which is to be intro
duced when congress meets next week,
it is proposed to make Panama free
trade distributing point for foreign
goods, which lit is hoped will divert
much of the worlds traffic through
the Panama canal. Representative Ira
c. Copley (Prog) of Illinois is faith
er of the bill which he announced to-
day will be introduced in the lower
house when congress meets again. By
the provisions of his bill Panama
would be created a free trade zone,
which would make it distributing
point for foreign goods shipped to
South America and the Orient through
the canal. In diverting the trade
through the Panama canal. the country
would gain in tolls what would be
lost through the absence of duties.
The bill will provide for the establish
ment of the free trade zone as soon
as the canal Is opned to the world.

FAST SOUTHERN
PACIFIC TRAIN IS
ROBBED Of MAIL

Los ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 11.-A
lone bandit held up the Southern Pa
cific fast mail train on the out
skirts of the city at early hour
this morning and succeeded in max
ing good haul. The robbery was one
of the most daring ever pulled off
by one man in the history of Cali
fornia The amount of the booty has
not been made public by the railroad
officials, but it is supposed to be
large. as this train carried nothing
but mail and express.
When the northbound train pulled
out of the depot yards, about o'clock
this morning it ran slowly for mile,
as is the rule, and it is supposed
that the bandit swung aboard the
front end of the train at some street
crossing. At any rate he climbed over
the tender when the train reached
dark cut-bank about three miles from
the city, and ordered the engineer at
the point of a gun to bring the train
to a stop.
The robber then worked fast, but
was sure and cool, evidencing much
experience in the business. He per-
suaded the mail clerks to come out
with no delay. secured some valuable
sacks of mail, then, backing off into
the dark, disappeared Only few
minutes passed from the time the
train was brought to stop until
it was backing up to Los Angeles
to report the robbery. a man-hunt
was Immediately begun by officers of
the city and of the Southern Pacific
railroad. but up until tonight no trace
of the bandit could be found. 1t is
thought that he had carefully plan
ned getaway, and little hope of
capturing him for a while is enter
tained by those who understand the
ways of this kind of robber.
