pal docks. now being rushed to com

"The first information given on this
lumber contract for export. made the
German government the party inter

caused and wonderment arose as to
how the German government would
get IL abroad.

this contract is in the hands of the
pennsylvania railroad, the chief pur-
chasing agent of which came to this
city and brought inspectors who will
assist. those the company keeps in

PANAMA CANAL
TO Be GREAT AID
THE FREIGHT BATES HAVE TAX
EN- A MATERIAL
TUMBLE.

That rates on iron and steel ship
ments on water carriers nave drop
ped 30 cents the hundred pounds
since the opening of the Panama ca
nal. which has wonderfully increased
competition, and that the rail lines
Of the United States in order to par
ticipate in this traffic must meet the
lower quotations in rates. is the opin-
ion OF Hon. II. r. Me ger, member of
the interstate commerce commission
who reached Savannah. yesterday from
Washington.
The Savannah Press, discussing tie
reduction, says:
MIR. Meyer, who is presiding at the
hearing Of applications Of the Central
Of Georgia railway and the Atlantic
Coast Line railway for exemptions
from the recent Panama canal act
in order to retain ownership of the
Ocean Steamship col. 1any and the
Peninsula Il Occideatal Steamship
line, says there is alre. dy in evidence,
as shown in proceeding before the in
terstate commerce CONNIE sion, vast
increase in competition over the water
routes as compared with the rail
routes.
THE rate on iron and steel, which
was previously soc the hundred
pounds on water carriers, has drop
ped to soc the hundred pounds since
the opening of tie Panama canal,
Mr.. Meyer says, and since the rail
routes must meet the new rate in
order to participate in the distribu-
ton of the traffic, this will result,
not only in an increase in competi-
ton between the water and rail car
riers, but is likely to defect a sub
stantial volume of business from the
established channels of trade through
the seaboard cities.
" No doubt the South will get its
share of this increased trade through
the seabOard cities said the visitor.
"Nir Meyer believes the opening of
the big ditch" will result eventu.
ally in me+s-,ally reducing the long
railroad hauls across the country.
The long haul traffic, he said, while
discussing the proposition in a brief
way, will naturally oe replaced by
shipments destined from interior
points to the nearest seaboard cities
and it is from this DETECTION of bust
ness the seaboard cities will most di.

WOOD NYMPH CAUGHT,

Sparta Sheriff Wraps Girl Of
Mystery in Horse Blanket.

Lacrosse, Wis, Aug. 11.-After a
weeks search, Sheriff George Boss
and Humane Officer George Manuel
drove into Sparta with Sparta's mys-
ferrous nude wood nymph wrapped
in horse blanket. Crowds followed
the party to the jail, where the nymph
is being cared for by the sheriff's
wife.
The identity of the girl is myst cry
and she refuses to talk. She meets
all questions with laugh and seems
to care not at all that she has been
cavorting about through Monroe coun.
ty woods for nearly a fortnight clad
only in a lace nightcap trimmed with
a blue ribbon.
The nymph is decided blonde and
appears to be about % years old.
Beyond admitting she had been in
Lacrosse and that this city might be
her home, she refuses to answer any
questions.

Fortunately in the last two automo-
lbile accidents the people hurt were in
the machines whose drivers were re-
sponsible for the accidents but this
cannot go on indefinitely No better
examples of the need of regulations and
the strictest enforcement of the law
could be furnished than those given by
the last two accidents The first one
on the lake shore road has brought an
effort to regulate the speed of the ma
chimes on the county roads and the cam
paign for law enforcement is proceed
ing with satisfactory results. The sec
ond should bring an attempt on the part
of the authorities to force jitney drivers
to demonstrate their fitness to operate
their machines before they are allowed
on the streets. Too many machines thai
are in such poer condition that it is hard
to control them, are being driven for
knowledge of the ordinary rules govern
ing traffic are operating them The
men who are in the jitney bus business
to stay and who must realize that they
must gain the confidence of the public
if they are to be successful are more in
terested in clearing these dangerous
men and machines off the streets than
any one else. The kind of driving that
was being done Monday night when
jitney hit the electric railway station
going full tilt is no advertisement for
the business. Every man and woman
that had used a jitney that day wonder
ed if they had been in that machine
just as soon as they heard of the per-
Torrance.

The matter Of calling in inventors,
specialists, experts or what not to set
tie questions Of efficiency In a depart
ment foreign to their daily experiences
has it's light and dark sides. Had the
rockbound conservatism Of the United
States naval board had its way In
1862 the north would have had no
monitor to protect Washington from
the ram Merrimac and no ironclads on
the Mississippi river. Enthusiasts like
Ericsson and Eads bored their way
through technical opposition and revo-
lutionized naval warfare. The south
had the same trouble. Individual gen
ius and energy built many of its best
rams and ironclads. Times have
changed, of course, and if invention
and development have about reached
the limit then the question Of eficien-
cy and adaptahility to our needs of ex-
listing types can best be settled per-
haps by experienced naval constructors
and officers who have studied their art
while walking the bridge"

The mater Of neutral trade In mn

The matter of neutral trade in mu-
nitions OF war is one Of the questions
to be settled in the revised interna-
tional law. 1t has come to the front
before. Sale Of European arms to the
Confederacy was problem for the
United States to contend with fifty
years ago, but as 1t practically block
AIDED all southern ports Importation by
the south was difficult and could have
no decisive influence upon the fortunes
of the war. The system Of armament
is now so complicated, new inventions
and types SO frequent, and the expense
of changes to keep up to date is so
enormous, that many conservative ma
tons viii prefer to depend upon the
worlds market instead Of investing
vast sums In weapons which may be
obsolete before a war crisis is on. In
ternational law can't pretend to safe
guard weaklings who look for privi-
leges without risks. SAIL is fair In
war;" says the adage, and those who
engage in war must take their chances
that luck may favor their foe.

There will be no indictments against

state had not the necessary jurisdic-
ton to cause the Indictment Of the
inspectors inasmuch as they have
been engaged in the performance Of
their duties under the fderal laws and
regulations; if they have been guilty
of any infraction of the law the fed
eral government, not the state, must
deal with them.

The Worlds Work says that it is a
matter Of record that steamship COM
panies operating between New York
and San Francisco via the Panama ca
nal have taken freight from beyond
the Mississippi and delivered it at low
er cost than the competing transcon-
tinental railroads. An official state
ment recently before board of steam
ship directors showed that carload of
steel plates may be carried westward
by water from coast to coast for 500,
and the same by rail would cost $500;
canned goods, 5000 as against $3.50 by
rail; dry goods, also 5000 as against
$1,000 by rail. Eastward canned sal
mon, fruits and wine go by the canal
at about half the rate by rail.
