NORMAL COMBINE
RATES
General Advance in Freight
Inaugurated by East
ern Lines.
DUE TO INCREASED WAGES
Movement Will Spread West and
South of Chicago Railroad
Transportation Only Thing
Hot Raised, Is Excuse.
-CHICAGO, Feb. 5. (Special.) The
first step was taken here today in a
plan to Inaugurate a general Increase
In freight rates throughout the country
In such -a manner as to bring millions
of dollars added revenue to the rail
roads and at the same time greatly fa
cilitate the movement of traffic.
Asftha result of a meeting, which
was extended by executive officials of
railroads east of Chicago, and having1
a total of more than 100.000 miles of
lines, a vdte is being taken upon - a
proposition to Increase, the rates of
nearly all of the main commodities ful
ly 10 per cent by decreasing the mini
mum which it Is permitted to load Into
a freiftht car. '
Will Extend West and South.
The railroads interested In the Initial
movement extend through all the ter
ritory east of Chicago and north of the
Ohio River, clear to the seaboard and
north Into Canada. In this territory
freight rates are controlled by the as
sociation known as the Central Freight
Association. The action will undoubt
edly be followed by the lines south of
the Ohio River, and then by the lines
we.it of Chicago to the Pacific Coast.
It Is difficult to estimate how much
the proposed Increase will ring the
railroads In added revenue, but the sum
will . be a big one. Traffic . officers,
however, state that it will not be suffi
cient to offset even the Increased ex
pense to the railroads occasioned by
increased wages, estimated at between
JluG. 000.000 and J113.000.000 annually.
Everything Else Costs More.
In speaking of the proposed changes,
a traffic official said:.
"A point has been reached when the
railroads will have to have more revenue-
Supplies and materials have in
creased from 20 to over 100 per cent
during the last few years, and labor
has also Increased largely. On the oth
er hand, the tendency of freight rates
has been steadily downward, and the
tallroads are the only merchants, who
have not been permitted to offset in
part or in whole Increased expenses by
Increased cost of their goods, which in
our case Is transportation."
WORDY WAR 'TWIXT MAGNATES
Harriman Man Tells a Few Things
About Hill Roads.
. CHICAGO, Feb. 5. (Special.) Besides
fighting for territory in the Northwest,
the Harriman and Hill managements
have entered into a wordy war regarding
the merits of the methods employed by-
each. Recently the Hill ideas were ex-
plotted as against those employed by
Harriman, who is said to have been
busy In building "a great financial insti-
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of opera
tlon and maintenance for all Harriman
lines,' has undertaken to defend the Har
riman operations. He resents the accusa
tion that Jlr. Harriman has been busy in
building up a . financial institution and
declares that the rebuilt Union and
Southern Pacific systems are great
monuments to htm.
"The construction of both the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific," he de
clares, "will be carried out on broader
lines than any other transcontinental
road, and we do not think that any line
today can transport freight more quickly,
economically and efficiently than the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific.
"It should be remembered that the
Union Pacific climbs the Rocky Moun
tains on an 82-foot grade to the mile, and
this on a double track thoroughly block-
signalled and heavily ballasted. I am
under the Impression, gathered from Mr.
Hill's time cards, that the Great North
ern does its heaviest mountain-climbing
on grades of 116 feet to the mile and
without block signals."
That Country Has Implicit Faith In
President. Roosevelt.
TOKIO, Feb. 5. The view taken here
of the American-Japanese situation, aris
ing from the San Francisco school inci
dent, is illustrated by the following offi
cial statement, which was Issued today:
Tjlnce the talk of war was nrat trans
mitted from America we have carefully
watched the development of feeling here.
There has not been the slightest excite
ment anywhere in the country.
'The talk of war Is completely Ig
nored here, and Implicit confidence is
reposed in President Roosevelt and his
Government. The ebullitions of the anti
Japanese press of America are powerless
to shake Japan s cordiality toward the
United States. , ' i
HAS NO INCLINATION FOR WAR
Japanese Government Says Questions
Will Be Settled Peaceably.
CHICAGO. Feb. 5. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
'In response to a cable from the Chi
cago Tribune to lytarquis Salonji, Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs at Tokk, the Jap
anese government yesterday cabled the
embassy here to convey to the American
people is disavowal of all inclination to
war with the United States, and the be
lief that the differences between he two
countries are and always haub been
susceptible of pacific treatment."
Says There Will Be No War.
OTTAWA, Ont.. Feb. B. "There will be
no war. I would wager my whole for
tune, if I had one, that there will be
none between the United States and
Japan," said Tatsz Gore Nosse, Japanese
Consul-General to Canada, yesterday
after reading press dispatches suggesting
possibility of such contingency over the
San Francisco school question.

THE LIE
BAILEY CREATES SCENE AT
TEXAS INVESTIGATION.
Enraged Witness Moves to Strike,
but Sheriff Intervenes and
Bailey Apologizes.
AUSTIN", Tex., Feb. 5. A dramatic
scene was enacted In the Bailey in
vestigation today shortly after the leg-
slative committee resumed- consider
ation of the charges against the Sena
tor. E. N. Mentz, of Houston, was on
the stand when Representative Coke
asked 'Mr. Mentz if Colonel Cowart,
of Dallas, went to New York to "see
Mr. Bailey while he was there, osten
sibly to have his throat treated, but
really to attend to business for the
Kirby Lumber Company.
, Mr. Bailey arose and said that any
one who said that Cowart went to see
him In New York was a liar. The wit
ness understood that Mr. Bailey meant
him, and he arose In his seat and de
clared that he would allow no man to
call him a liar.
Mr. Bailey started for the witness
and seemed ready to meet him. Depu
ty Sheriff White stopped Senator Bai
ley and trouble was averted.
The Senator apologized to the com
mittee, declaring he had been irritated
so much during the past few weeks
that he could hardly help his action.
He asserted that it was hard to keep
from denouncing what he knew to be
lies.
BUIGGS TO SUCCEED DRYDEX
New Jersey Republicans Nominate
Candidate for Senator.
TRENTON, N. J. Feb. 6. The Re

Senator John F. Dryden by a vote of
22 to 18. The vote was subsequently
made unanimous.
CAN'T SUSTAIN THEIR CHARGES
Interstate Commission Files Report
Against Hanks and Harriman.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The Interstate
Commerce Commission In a report to
the Senate, says that. Charles S. Hanks
and George W. Harriman had failed to
substantiate charges of errors in the
I Commission's statistics. They failed to
show, says the report, that freight and
passenger rates of the country could be
reduced an average of 10 per cent without
reducing wages or dividends.
Harriman and Hanks investigated the
Commission after several conferences with
the President, in which they assured
him they could revolutionize the work
of the Commission. The report states
that Hanks and Harriman were afford
ed every facility In the Investigation and
that -they were continued In the service
until the Commission was convinced "that
their criticism was without merit,' and
that they had no suggestion to make that
had not already been anticipated.''
There was also appended to the Com
mission's report a sharp letter from Presi
dent Roosevelt to" Mr. Hanks dated Jan
. uary 31, In which he stated that their
charges were completely disproved, and
the President adds that it would be simply
folly for him to pay any further heed
to the allegation In regard to the work of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
made by Messrs. Hanks and Harriman.
JAPANESE TO FILE PROTEST
Frequent Arrest of IiHtle Brown Men
May Cause Trouble.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. B. The
policy of the San Antonio police In ar
resting Japanese residents for alleged va
grancy threatens to cause complications.
Nearly all the Japanese arrested claim to
be employed and have money.
L. 8. Mogi, a wealthy Japanese resident,
says:
"The police make these arrests nearly
every day. though none has been fined.
If this continues I shall !have to appeal
to the Japanese Consul, and If I hear of
any Japanese being mistreated I will
apeal to the Consul immediately to have
the apparently purposeless arrests
stopped."
Nebraska Against Ship Subsidy.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 5. The Nebraska
Legislature yesterday went on record as
opposed to the ship subsidy bill. The
House adopted by a vote of 50 to SO I he
Senate joint resolution memorializing
Congress to defeat . the ship subBidy
measure and requesting the Nebraska
Senators and Representatives to oppose
it. The resolution passed the Senate by
a unanimous vote.
Lobbyists Regard Victory for Four
Schools as Certain Governor
Chamberlain- May Be Placed
in Delicate Position.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.) At the
end of a day of strenuous effort, the
normal school lobby seems to have won a
victory In the Oregon Legislature and
there is a likelihood that the appropria
tions Will again be made for all four nor
mal schools, or at least for three. Not
withstanding the vehement denials that
an agreement has been made to stand to
gether the' fact remains that the normal
school interests are standing together and
each will support the appropriation of the
other.
"It's a machine that can't be beaten,"
remarked a Senator tonight "It beats
any combination I ever saw in a Sena
torial fight, but we are going to take a
try at it yet before the session closes."
There is a possibility of the elimination
of- the Drain Normal from the list, and
Senator Caldwell today introduced a sub
stitute bill with that end in view. This
would leave three Normals, Ashland,
Monmouth and Weston. . The-opinion is
quite general that at least three Normals
will be provided for, and there are many
members who believe that four will have
votes enough to land appropriations.
But each Normal will have to go upon
lte own merits, and the appropriations
will go before the Governor in. such a
way that he can veto any one of them
without impairing the others. Both
houses of the Legislature have adopted
resolutions instructing the ways and
means committee to present-each Normal
school appropriation in a separate bill.
This will at least put up to the Governor
the power to cut out two of the Norma Lb
if he wishes. This he may decline to do.
saying that this is a legislative duty.
That Is a contingency the normal peo
ple are not worrying about just now.
however, for their first task is to get
their appropriations through the two
houses, and they believe tonight they
have got the votes to do it. There is one
situation that must be considered and
that is that nearly all the members of
the Legislature can vote for only two
normal schools and yet the appropria
tions for all four go through. The mem
bers can thus make records that will
satisfy their constituents and jet not
hurt any of their colleagues In the Legis
lature. For illustration, there are four Senators
from normal school counties who can
consistently vote for four normals. The
remaining 26 Senators can so divide their
votes as to give each normal 17 affirma
tive votes for its appropirations, and yet
each of the 26 vote against two normals.
While there is no hint of such a method
of voting being planned, it is readily ap-
parent that without concerted action
there is a strong chance t all four nor
mals getting their appropriations and yet
those members who are opposed to so
many normals voting their sentiments.
What is true of the Senate is also true
ef the House.
Among the active normal lobbyists are
E. V. Carter, the Ashland banker, who
was foremost in normal councils last
week before the combination in the
House last .Friday, but who denies that
responsibility for the combination; B. F.
Mulkey, president of the Ashland school:
R. E. French, president of the Western
school, and G. W. Froebstel, or "Weston;
E.- D. Ressler, president of Monmouth
school, and A. T. Noltner, regent of that
institution. It was conceded by a normal
leader today that in the House last Fri
day there was an Instinctive getting to
gether of the normal clans.
Smith for Unexpired Term.
LANSING, Mich., Feb. 5. Congress
man William Alden Smith was this
afternoon elected by the Legislature to
fill the unexpired term of Senator R. A.
Aiger, who died suddenly at his home
at Washington ten days ago. Mr. Smith
had already been elected as successor
at the expiration of nis term, March 4.
LET SALTON SEA FILL UP
Utah Legislator Voices Theory About
Aridity of West.
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 5. Asserting
that the overflow of the Colorado River
will produce an inland sea whose ''evapo
ration would materially affect the aridity
of the J vast area of dry lands In the
West," a memorial to the President and
Congress was introduced, in the State
House of Representatives today. It asks
that the attempts to control the Colorado
River be abandoned by the Government.
Another memorial offered in the House
asks the rescinding of the order requir
ing a special Inspection of public land
before Issuance of patent, so far as It
applies to mining claims.

known to be disabled and the other
thought to be, are anchored tonlgbt In a
dangerous position at Ketch Harbor, a
few miles west of this city, and the lives
of those on board are In peril.

CHAPIX'S BILL IS CHOSEN.
Committee's Report to Favor Com
mission Appointed by Governor.
SALEM, Or., Feb. '. (Special.)
Chapin's railroad .commission bill will
be reported favorably In the House
Thursday morning, with no material
changes from the original. The bill
will provide for a commission to be
appointed by the Governor, each of the
commissioners to receive $5000 a year.
the secretary $2li00 a year and a clerk
$12)0 a year. The bill will contain an
emergency clause, putting it Into ef
fect from and after its approval by
the Governor.
The railroad committee has agreed
upon all provisions of the bill except
the section regarding reciprocal de
murrage and the section relating to the
appointment of commissioners. Upon
the matter of appointment there Is
some division, but the prevailing sen
timent In th.e committee is in favor of
appointment by the Governor. It' is
probable that a minority report will
be made in the House in favor of ap
pointment by a board composed of
Governor, Secretary of State and State
Treasurer. This minority report prob
ably will be headed by Representative
Jones.
There Is no probability of a dissent
ing report In the Senate when the bill
reaches that branch of the Legislature.
. The railroad committee will hold its
last . meeting Wednesday afternoon.
After being reported to the House, with
minor amendments as to language, the
bill must be indorsed, and will then
be ready to place upon final passage.
It will very likely be considered by
the House on Friday or be made a spe
cial order for Monday afternoon.
SHIP POUNDING TO PIECES
Fears Expressed That National City
Cannot Be Saved.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5. Advices re
ceived from Redondo this evening indi
cate that tbe steam schooner National
City, which grounded- this morning at
Hermosa Beach, will go to pieces before
she can be dragged into deep water. The
tug Collls this afternoon made an effort
to pull the National City out of the sand,
but failed. Captain Preble and the crew
of 15 men were aboard late this evening.
A portion of the cargo of ties was thrown
overboard and nearly all were saved.
The National City seems to have broken
In two, as the swell causes the two
masts to roll In opposite directions at
times. The smokestack broke off 'dur
ing the day. It is stated that the steamer
was trying to make a landing at Re
dondo wharf, and missed her bearings
owing to the heavy fog.
