RECEIVERS FOR
SEABOARD LINE
Two Southern Men Given
Charge of Line by Judge
Pritchard.
RESULT OF RECENT POLICY
Williams Gives Hard Die to Ryan
Faction Earnings Over $42,000
Short of the Amount Seeded
to Pay the Interest.
RICHMOND. Va Jan. 2. Unable to
meet heavy obligations due January 1,
the Seaboard Air Line Railroad system
was put Into the hands of receivers here
today through the action ' of Judge Prit
chard of the United States Circuit Court,
who was hurriedly summoned from Ashe
vllle, N. C, to take cognizance of the
application for a receivership. Judge
Pritchard appointed as receivers R. Lan
caster Williams, of Richmond, and S.
Davles Warfleld, of Baltimore.
Judge Pritchard's decree gives the re
ceivers immediate possession of the prop-
erty. which embraces the main stem from
Portsmouth, Va., to Tampa, Fla., num
erous branches to coast points on the
east and to Atlanta; Montgomery and
Birmingham on the west, a total of 2332
miles.
John Skelton Williams, a member of
the voting trust, says the present sltua
"tion is the logical result of the policy
pursued by those In control during the
past few years and welcomes Judge Prit
chard's decree as foreshadowing the
uniting of all interests on some plan that
will bring about a speedy rehabilitation
to the road.
BONDHOLDERS NEED NOT FEAR
Baltimore Bankers Say Seaboard
Will Come Out All Right.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 2. R. Lancaster
"Williams and S. Davis Warfleld, who
were appointed receivers of the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad, at Richmond, J.oda.y,
are bankers of this city, Mr. Williams
being a member of the banking-house of
Mlddendorf, Williams' & Co., and Mr.
Warfleld president of the Continental
Trust Company.
Mr. Warfleld, who is a director of the
ft Seaboard, was chosen to represent the
majority interests In the property, while
Mr. Williams will look after the affairs
of a considerable minority, led by his
brother, John Skelton Williams, of Rich
mond. The receivership will have a far
reaching effect in Baltimore, where the
securities of the company are more
largely dealt in and held than In any
other trading center, not even except
ing New York. The bond issues placed
on the property since it -has been merged
into one system aggregate J33,"85,000, of
which amount it is estimated nearly $25",
(VO.000 is held here. Baltimore bankers
declare thut there is no necessity for
nervousness on the part of the bond
holders over the receivership action. If
they will take the announcement coolly
and quietly and await developments, it
is declared. It will be much more to their
ultimate advantage than to rush into the
market now to sell.
Persons close on the inside of the prop
erty are outspoken in the opinion that
the security holders, both stocks and
bonds, will benefit. These say no holders
of the underlying bonds need feel the
least alarm over the safety of the securi
ties nor have any fear of default at any
time in the interest. One of the assets
of the Seaboard is the Baltimore Steam
Packet Company, better known as the
Old Bay Line. The operations of this
line, it is said, will not be affected by the
receivership.
Earnings Cannot Pay Interest.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. The placing of
the Seaboard Air Line System in the
nands of receivers today follows a state
ment of the company's earnings showing
J;!.132.So6 on hand with which to meet
fixed charges of 53.175.4:14, a deficit of J42.
fc:S. It has been known for several days
that some steps would be necessary to
protect the property In view of its in
ability to meet its fixed chargo and the
receivership was agreed upon at a con
ference held In Washington yesterday,
at which there were present representa
tives of both, the majority and minority
stockholders.
BITTER AGAINST JAPANESE

rii.W" TO DISARM JAPANESE
Vancouver Laboring Men Bitter In
Denunciation or Foreigners.
- VANCOUVER. B. C, Jan. 2. (Special.)
The Vancouver Trades and Labor Coun
cil tonight held a heated diivusslon on
the Japanese question and there was a
large attendance of laboring men. It was
seriously proposed that if there was no
legal machinery by which the police could
go through all the houses of the Japanese
section to search for knives and revolv
ers and thoroughly disarm the Japanese,
then the laboring men should arm them
selves with revolvers in case of emer
gence. The situation is admittedly serious in
the view of the labor men, and the asser
tion was made that the Mayor and the
civic authorities are "chattering In their
teeth'" and fearful to act lest they should
offend the Japanese government or the
local Consul. The declaration was made
that Powell street is an armed arsenal,
and that the Japanese are ready to fight
with knives and guns at the slightest
provocation or excuse.
"I. for one. will arm myself." said R.
P. Pettlplece, local labor leader, while an
other t-peaker added: "I am ready to
Join a force any day."
No resolution was passed on this sub
ject, but a pointed resolution was passed
referring to Police Magistrate Williams,
whoso alleged pro-Japanese decisions
since the September riots were 6everely
rrlticlsed. It was alleged that the magis
trate, police and City Council are all
afraid to act against the Japanese. A
committee was appointed to Investigate
$ iwiiluct of the magistrate and de-
mand bis dismissal if the charges are
found to be true.
ROOT HAS JAPANESE REPLY
Shows Disposition to Meet Desires
of United States.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Secretary
Root received from Ambassador O'Brien
at Tokio a transcript of the reply of
the Japanese Government to the regu
lation memorandum submitted by him
some time ago in relation of the reg
ulation of Japanese immigration to
America. The reply is very long, dis
cussing Mr. O'Brien's proposition in the
greatest detail. So . far. Secretary
Root has not had an opportunity to
carefully consider the reply, but it is
stated that in the opinion of the State
Department it exhibits a disposition on
the part of the Japanese Government
to meet the desires of America in a
satisfactory - manner. Ambassador
O'Brien coincides in this view of the
Japanese response.
NOT USED FOR EXPLOSIVES

Judge J. C. Pritchard, of United
States Circuit Court, Who Appoint

anese Embassy, stated today that he had
heard nothing of the reported activity of
his government in shipping saltpetre and
yucca from Chile to Japan for manufac
ture into explosives, news of which has
been brought to San Francisco by pas
sengers arriving. Mr. Miayoka has heard
of .the use of saltpetre importations by
private interests from Chile into Japan
for agricultural purposes, which he sug
gests may be the use to which any im
portations now coming from that coun
try may be put.

CAGO UNIVERSITY FUNDS.
Increases Endowment, Pays Deficit
and Will Treble Subscriptions to
Harper Library.
CHICAGO. Jan. 2. Martin A. Ryerson,
president of the board of trustees of the
University of Chicago, announced today
tnat John D. Rockefeller has added J2.191
000 to his gifts to the university, making
the total of his benefactions over J23.000,
000. -.
It is also reported that the head of the
Standard Oil Company has offered to
treble all contributions to the memorial
library which the university is trying to
erect in honor of William R. Harper, Its
first president. The trustees have already
received 1133,000 for this purpose and hope
to add J65.O00 to this sum, so that with
Mr. Rockefeller's contribution an 5800,000
structure may be erected on the campus.
The gift announced today, like most of
those preceding it from the same source,
is to be devoted mainly to general en
dowment purposes. Securities to the
value of 52,000.000 are set aside for this
purpose, thereby adding 50.000 to the in
come. Of the balance. 5155,000 is to be
used to wipe out a deficit in the accounts
for 1906-7 and 5U6,O0O will be devoted to the
purchase of books, laboratory apparatus
and other equipment.

V
AGREE- OH DEFENSE
Thaw Will Again Plead Tem
porary Insanity.
TO CALL NEW. WITNESSES
Detectives Investigate the S00
Talesmen Called and All Is In '
- Readiness for Calling ' of -Case
Next Monday.-
NEW STORK, Jan. 2. Counsel for
Harry K. Thaw consulted today, and it
was reported that it had been definite
ly agreed that the only defense to be
made would be insanity at the time
Stanford White was killed. It v ill be
contended, however, that Thaw is now
sane. Those in conference were Martin
W. Littleton, Daniel O'Reilly and A.
Russell Peabody.
The defense, it is said, will offer
much new testimony. There will be a
score of eye-witnesses to the shooting
of White, who have not before, but will
testify that in their opinion Thaw was
crazed on the night of the murder.
Mr. Littleton has a list of 300 tales
men who have been summoned to ap
pear Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
in the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court, and detectives are Investigating
the record of each. Mr. O'Reilly and
Mr. Peabody called at the Tombs today
and consulted with their client.
There are signs that the second trial
will attract much less attention than
the first did. Applications from out-of-town
newspaper representatives and
press bureaus for seating accommoda
tions are noticeably fewer. The space
In the courtroom available for corre
spondents and spectators will be some
what lees than last year, but it will be
ample when the Idle curious havo been
barred out.
The telegraphic arrangements for the
transmission of reports of the trial
will be greatly . curtailed. Last year
both of the large telegraph companies
erected temporary stations in t.ie ro
tunda of the court buildings aid
strung their cables through the sky
light. According to present plans,
nothing on this elaborate scale will be
provided, but a number of leased wires
will be strung Into the building:. Un
less new witnesses open a new line
of inquiry, the testimony. It is ex
pected, will be largely a repetition of
the testimony in the first trial.
District Attorney Jerome, who will
again be the chief prosecutor, wlch As-,
slstant Attorney Garvan at his side,
said tonight that the trial would surely
begin before Justice Dowling Monday
morning as set some time ago.
HIT BY RUNAWAY ENGINE
Carload of Tramps Mangled and
Two of Them Killed.
ELKO, Nev., Jan. 2. In the Elko rail
road yards at 11:45 A. M. today two men
were killed, three Injured and 11 cars
smashed to splinters. The local freight
train, westbound, was standing on a side
track waiting for freight train No. 1728,
and the engineer had left his engine for a
moment when it started. The fireman
was on top of the tender, aifa, thinking
the engineer was in the cab, paid no at
tention to the fact. Train No. 1728 was
pulling in at the rate of 23 miles an hour,
and the engine and three cars had passed
the switch when the runaway engine
struck the rear end of the fifth car and
plowed through it and into the four cars
following.
Five tramps were in the sixth and sev
enth cars of the eastbound train. Two
of these were so badly mangled that
they could hardly be recognized as hu
man beings. Another was injured about
the head and body, another had his hip
broken and a fifth escaped uninjured.
One of the men killed was G. T. Ballard,
of Moore, Mont. The r.ame of the other
has not been learned.
Traffic will be tied up for about eight
hours. None of thj trainmen was injured.

known ranchers on Lulu Island, was shot

Big Deal in Government Timber.
BUTTB, Mont.. Jan. 2. A Miner special
from Helena says:
Officials In the Helena National Forest
are making preparations for the sale of
all the timber on the Boulder watershed,
comprising 50.000.000 feet. An informal
application for the sale has been made
by the Allen Gold Mining Company of
Anaconda. Forest Assistants ' Stlckney
and N. Harris have finished making an
estimate of the timber and are now map
ping the region. If the sale is made, it
will be one of the bbzzest in Montana.
J. M. A. STUDIES GROCERIES
In the near future I am going to open up that grocery store or department that I have been promising for the past four months. A detailed
announcement of the same 'will be made in a short time and it will be a "posier" indeed. It will also include a statement about opening up the
men's tailoring department again; the latter I already know a good deal about, so I am not studying much on that. But that grocery concern
appears to afford me an unlimited field for study and investigation. There seems to be hundreds of little and big things connected with a gro
cery not to speak of women's tempers spoiled, husbands' stomachs ruined and babies' health impaired on account of groceries.
The first thing that attracted my attention was sugar beginners or babies are always attracted to sugar. Well, at first I couldn't see why
it was that a dollar's worth of sugar wasn't always the same size package, yet would weigh the same, and I concluded that to obviate this seem
ing discrepancy, all groceries should have an absolutely waterproof roof on the building in which they are kept. I have decided that will settle that.
The rotten-apple question seemed easy to me, that is, simply not to buy them for your stock but the wormy apple which is evidence of the
negligence of the grower was a little harder proposition, but it occurred to me if Mr. Burbank will deliver a coreless, seedless apple there would
be no wormy apples, and I expect to do my part to hasten this result.
I am still studying on the proposition as to why it is that honey is generally cheaper in the Winter and Spring than Summer and Fall. Then
the question of flour that always was a puzzle and source of wonderment to me, even while a small boy, when I used to ride the old bay mare
home from town with a sack of "Cross Roads XXX Best" oij "White as Snow," "Light as Goose Down" in one end and a rock in the other,
and slung across the old faithful animal's back. I say it was a puzzle at times if that was "Cross Roads Best" what the worst was like. Evi
dently flourmakers put great stress on the name and the poorer the flour the more elegant the name. So I kind of thought flour ought to be num
bered, as Portland No. 40, Baltimore No. 60, St. Paul No. 70, Millers' No. 10, and let the dealer brag it up and back it up and the housewife
determine its merits and not buy it because it had a pretty name.
Then the way people order their groceries is interesting should have particular attention. A lady will phone you to send up a sack of
"nice" potatoes, a box of "fine" apples, a roll of "good" butter, and the grocer goes ahead and sends up the goods. Maybe it's good and
maybe it isn't. Therefore, from the fact that the customer never phones to, send up a sack of poor potatoes, a roll of rancid butter, it would
follow, if a grocer wants to be honest and keep a trade, he should never have anything but what was good. '
I see human nature stands out more clearly in connection with this grocery business than any other business. Then there is the problem In
what proportions a grocer should carry stocks of celery and cheese, as celery makes nerves, and it takes nerve to eat much cheese. I am still
deliberating on that. Also, when I was East, I noticed some grocers carried patent medicines. I am considering what relation they have to
groceries. '
' Then there is the question of a clean, sanitary grocery, absolutely essential if yon want to deliver good goods. A grocery can be run like
a slaughter-house or like a well-kept pantry. I guess I'll conform to the latter.
And then there are so many "more things to consider, I'll have to leave them go at present and let the manager of this grocery tackle them.
You see, I am not going to try to tell him how to run it, for he is well posted and knows the business. I'll simply hand him a copy of these
investigations of mine, so he will know I have been thinking of him and his work. You see my particular and personal business is to look more
after the outside requirements of people than the inside.
Now, everybody and anybody who wants to talk to me about groceries, from selling, buying, clerking for me, delivering, bossing, working
partnerships in the business, how groceries should be run and how they should not, come and see me right away, for this grocery will start quick.
The room is ready, the cash till is ready, and people get hungry every day, several times. J. M. ACHE SON.

Indicted, lor Trying to Overthrow
Government, Leaders Face Long
Term of Penal Servitude.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 2. Indict
ments were returned today against all
the members of the executive committee
of the Popular Socialist party and their
trial before the Court of Appeals for al
leged attempts at revolution will begin
shortly. The accused men belong to the
intellectual section of the Social Revolu
tionists. They are mostly veterans of the
revolutionary struggle who withdrew
from the Social Revolutionary party in
order to participate In the elections to
the third Donma.
Among them are M. Amenski. who in
190S was exiled on account of his politi
cal activities; Ivan Mikaton, the well
known Russian author, who shared Max
im Gorky's imprisonment in a fortress
In 1905; M. Lutugin. the organizer and
first president of the league of Leagues,
which co-operated with the labor or
ganization during the strikes that pre
ceded the issuance of the October man
ifesto, and prominent attorneys.
The men are accused of being members
of a secret organization which aimed to
overthrow the Government. The penalty
on this charge may be penal servitude
for eight years. The case has the same
general features as the trial of the So
cial Democrats of the Douma and of the
former deputies who signed the Viborn
manifesto. The Social Revolution organ
ization Is the only radical political party
which has not already been brought to
the bar.
It is understood that the authorities In

BRITISH SEE YELLOW PERIL
STARTLED BY EMIGRATION TO
THE TRAXSVAAL. '
Renewed Vancouver Riots Also Dis
quieting In View of Negotiations
Between Canada and Japan.
LONDON, Jan. 2. England Is experi
encing what might well be called an
almost startling awakening to the grave
problem, caused by the emigration of
Asiatics to her white colonies. The prin
cipal political topic for a week has been
the situation In the Transvaal, where
several thousand East Indians and Chi
nese were given the alternative of sub
mitting to what they consider a degrad
ing system of congregation, or be im
prisoned and expelled.
The reports of further racial rioting at
Vancouver, British- Columbia, come at a
particularly inopportune ' time, as the
negotiations are under way between
Canada and Japan, and they are very
annoying to the British government, offi
cials having been assured of Japan's will
ingness to substantially to restrict emi
gration from, the Empire. It is recog
nized that the race .question is more
serious for Great Britain than for Ameri
can interests, because the Japanese are
her allies.
The Transvaal has temporarily re
frained from taking measures against
those Indians who have refused to
register, other than decline to renew the
traders' licenses, all of which expired
December 31. It Is proper, however, to
execute the law in a few days. Two
thousand Indians from all parts of the
Transvaal met recently in Johannesburg
and voted to refuse to submit to the law.

place of giving individual treatment he
was compelled to treat his "patients" in
a measure en masse.
More than 130 persons appeared at the
hour appointed for, his demonstration.
After outlining briefly what he deemed to
be the limitations of the psychological
method. Bishop Fallows gavs private in
terviews to those with whom he had ap
pointments and invited the others to com
at a future time.
In outlining the plan he made It plain
that mental suggestion must not be con
fused with an attempt to eliminate the
physician's skill. He said the physicians
and clergymen must work hand-ln-hand.
He read letters which he had received
asking for aid. One was from a medical
student in Baltimore.
