WHOLE RAILROAD
MAP IS INVOLVED
Experts Busy Stringing
New Schedules.
EQUIPMENT IS OVERHAULED
Impending Speed War Brings
on Intense Activity.
HILL STARTED THE FIGHT
Santa Fe Followed, Putting Vp All
Western Mall Contracts as Prize.
Forestalling of St. Paul Road
Was Original Motive.
CHICAGO, Sept.. 5. (Special.) When
the Hill lines announced five days ago
that they would lop tn houra off the
fastest time between Chicago and the
N-irth Pacific Coast points they lnaugu-
rated a speed war that has now spread
over the., entire transcontinental Tallway
map. In the Southwest territory, the
fight Is on for the mall contracts, but
to net these, the roads must put on
faster and better trains. The Santa -Fe
proposes to cut ten hours off its time
between Kansas City and Los Angeles
and Its rivals are scurrying in every
direction and ordering their experts to
"string" new schedules, get equipment
In the topmost condition and be ready to
meet the time of the Santa Fe.
The fight started when the Hill lines
apparently sought to -forestall the St.
Paul road, which, with Its Puget Sound
extension, will soon be In position to
make trouble In regard to rates and
mall contracts.
Notice was served by the Burlington
that, effective September 12. that road
also would no longer observe the "Western
Passena-er train speed agreement, but
would reducs the running time of Its
main CMcago-Denver train byjtwo hours.
Both of these moves took the competi
tors of the Burlington by surprise and
caused no end of scurrying and consulta
tion. Fight Is on the St. Paul Road.
The Burl'ngton desires to forestall the
St. Paul and annex the mail trafflo be
fore that road Is In a position to com
pete for it. If the Government accepts
the proposition, this will be the first
through fast mall and express train be
tween Chicago and the Middle West and
the Puget Sound territory, and will re
sul: in facilitating the mails in the Far
Northwest by fully half a day. It la
purposed to start the train out of Chi
cago about 1:60 o'clock in the morning
and get to Seattle soon after noon of tha
third day. The mails for that territory
now arrive at night.
The Hill management asks the Govern
ment to give it all the Puget Sound
mall for the new train. A great deal of
this mall already is carried by the Bur
lington, either through St. Paul or
through Billings, but the company
realises that the day of through fast
mall service for the Northwest has come,
and It desires to be first In the field. -
All the mail In the territory west of
Fargo and of the Missouri River will be
re-welghed by the Government, beginning
next February and between now and that
time there will be a struggle among the
railroaris to acquire greater shares of the
malls by reason of improved service.
Affects Chicago-Denver Schedules.
The Burlington's move In fhe direc
tion of faster time between Chicago and
Denver may lead to another phase of the
promised speed war among the cora
petlrg lines. Formerly the Chicago
Denver schdule was 274 hours and it is
this schedule to which the Burlington
will-return. The present schedule Is
2i4 hours, ilore than a year ago the
Western roads made an agreement
lengthening all of the 'Western schedules
clear to the Prclflc Coast.
Not long after the agreement was
entered into, the Alton broke it with
respect to the running time to Kansas
City. Then the Northwestern quickened
Its time somewhat to the Twin Cities,
and to Omaha and put on a new train
which shortened the time one hour to
the Coast. ,
In addition to this the Rock Island and
the Northwestern put on new Chicago
Denver trains which took away some of
the Burlington's business. In recent
years the Burlington has spent more
than E&OOO.OnO on Its track and its road
bed, and its management made up Its
mir.d that the company might as well as
sert Itself, being In a physical position
to do so.

Two women and two men escaped
death miraculously early this. morning I
when the automobile in ' which they
were riding plunged over a 60-foot em
bankment on Taylor's Ferry road, about
a mile from Portland.
The fact . that the ' automobile' re
mained upright and landed In heavy

their lives, but the two women occu
pants were seriously injured. These
were Miss Marguerlta Buehner, daugh

at a fast gait the automobile failed to
make a sharp turn in the road, and but

gulch, which Is estimated to be about 60
feet deep with an Incline of 46 degrees.
Mr. Stine made his way to the nearest
residence possessing a phone, and a res

after the Injured women had remained
In the gulch for nearly two hours.

CANADA WANTS OWN NAVY
Three Shipbuilders Consider Locat

OTTAWA. Ont.. Sept' 5. (Special.)
Canada Is extremely anxious to possess
war fleet of its own and efforts are
being put forth to Induce British ship
builders to locate plants on Canadian
soil. It is satd three world-famous ship
builders are now considering proposals to
locate branch yards in the Dominion and
have been assured that .the Canadian
government will grant every concession
In the way of a tariff or in any other line
possible.
While the Canadian Ministers at the
London conference on naval defense have
kept the Government here advised on the
different steps of the negotiations, an of
ficial account of what has been agreed
upon, has not yet been received. Britain
expects Canada to continue the work of
supplying cruisers of the Bristol class and
destroyers of the river class and it is
known that the yards at Halifax and
Esquimau will be continued but' Canada
desires permission and assistance to build
up a formidable navy of her own, avail
able for use on. the Great Lakes In case
of an emergency.

COOK DINES AT
SUMMER PAUSE
King of Denmark En-
tertains Explorer.
GIVEN UNPRECEDENTED HONOR
Sits. at Frederick's Right and
Royal Family Listens..
BELIEF IN STORY FIRM
Expert Arctic Explorers Confer With
American and Appear Convinced.
Cook Goes First to Brussels.
Will Lecture In Paris.
COPENHAGEN, Sept E Dr. Frederick
A. Cook dined tonight with King Fred
erick at the Summer palace a few miles
outside of Copenhagen. The King sum
moned Dr. Cook to an audience yester
day as a formal courtesy. They had an
hour's talk, and while these royal audi
ences cannot, according to etiquette, be
minutely described. Dr. Cook made such
an Impression on the King that the latter
Instructed the Court Chamberlain to
summon the explorer to dine with him
tonight The King invited Dr. Cooft to
meet him only after having the gov.
ernment make the closest possible in'
vestigatlon of his story. All Danish ex
plorers were asked to give their opinions
of Dr. Cook's claims before the audience
was granted and their verdict was
unanimously In his favor.
The dinner was entirely the result of
the King's personal opinion regarding tha
explorer, who had the seat on the King s
right, an honor which Danes cannot re
member having been accorded another
private person. Members of the royal
family listened to his every word as he
recounted the dangers and privations of
his polar Journey.
Taft's Telegram Pleases.
Dr. Cook was Immensely pleased, today
by a telegram from President Taft In
which the President extended his hearty
congratulations. He had undergone an
ordeal today, being bombarded on every
side with questions intended to test the
accuracy of his affirmations.
Although it was after midnight when
he reached his hotel at the end of the
first day's trying experience, he oat up
for two hours engaged In correspondence
and conversation with scientists. He was
up before 7 o'clock this morning, read
ing translations of comments In the
Danish newspapers. Later he received
Commodore Sverdrup and Count Harold
Moltke, a member of the Myllus Erlchsen
expedition, who probably will Illustrate
Dr. cook's book.
Several expert Arctic explorers were
closeted in conversation with Dr. Cook tor
day. When they came out they appeared
thoroughly convinced of his absolute good
faith. A luncheon at the American Lega
tion afforded another opportunity to non
expert persons to strengthen their already
firm belief In the explorer's narrative.
Enthusiasm Shown at Dinner.
The dinner at the royal castle was the
scene of greatest enthusiasm. Dr. Maurice
F. Egan, American Minister, and several
other guests completed the party. The
dinner passed off quietly, as Is customary
on Sunday in the royal household. After
dinner there was a rush around Dr. Cook,
who started a recital of his adventures.
One after another of the royal personages
plied him with questions and then waited
eagerly while the explorer answered, al
ways without hesitation.
Prince Waldemer, brother of the King,
who is a scientific sailor; was extremely
Interested In the currents at the pole.
Prince and Princess George of Greece
also made Inquiries. The King and Queen

CHICAGO, . ; Sept. : K. (Special.) Mor
tality returns of the early part of the
week 6nded September 4 were unusual
ly heavy, but in the latter half there
was a decline to less than the . daily
average for this season.
The mortality statement shows most
prominently that the "slaughter of the
innocents"' continues. Deaths among
babies under one year of age constitute
32 per cent of the total mortality of
the week, and yet the baby population
is but 2Vj per cent of the total popula
tion at all ages. The baby death rate
is therefore about 13 timeshigher than
the death rate at all other ages.
" Diarrhoeal diseases killed 164 chil

NEW YORK, Sept. 5. (Special.)
When real and honest Britishers pay
homage of the heart to the picture of

Abbey's great painting, "The Corona

Miss Converse has not sat on a royal

robes. She has never been presented
at court, but she, has come and gone
at Buckingham Palace as if born to

Queen in Westminster, but there she is

For two years the great . work was

near Fortune Park today while the peo
ple on shore refused to go to his aid
thinking that his calls for help were
meant only to frighten them.
Peterson had been in the water for
some time and had frequently brought
people to his aid by calling for help
only to tell them when they reached him
that it was a Joke.
But like the boy In the fable who
called "wolf" too often, Peterson car
ried his Joke too far. A policeman
warned him to stop his fooling or get
out of the water. Instead of obeying,
Peterson swam out into deep water and
again began calling for aid. No one
paid attention to him.
"I mean it this time. I'm sinking,
shouted Peterson," and with these words
he sank beneath the surface and did
not rise again. The body was recovered.

HOQUIAM. Wash.. Sept. 6. (Special.)
As the result of a meeting of the shingle
weavers' union held in this city today,
every shingle, mill in Chehalls County
will be shut down Tuesday unless the
weavers or the manufacturers shall re
cede.
The meeting here today lasted more
than six hours and when a vote was
finally taken the call showed that the
men were In favor of a strike. It Is ex
pected tha shingle industry of the whole
Pacific Coast will be affected.
The schedule of wages presented to the
manufacturers, which was denied the
shingle weavers. Is as follows: Ten cents
per 1000 for packing 16-inch shingles, $4
a day for knot sawyers working six men
after a ten-block machine: S4 for four
men working after double-block machine,
and 34 for three men working after
double-block machine.
v. Owners Refuse to Recede.
The meeting was a heated one and has
been awaited for some time by the mill-
men. The demand of the weavers was
made several days ago at a meeting held
In this city, when five shingle manufac
turers met with 250 union men to discuss
the matter 'of an Increase at that meet
ing a committee of five was appointed
from the union to meet with a similar
committee from the shingle -manufac
turers. ' This joint meeting, was' held in
Aberdeen last night and a sealed verdict
was delivered to the union committee' to
be opened in the meeting today. It was
as follows:
"Resolved, by the shingle manufac
turers of Gray's Harbor and Chehalls
County, That the present scale of
wages paid their employes Is positively
all that can be paid, and If further in
crease of wages is demanded by the
said employes, the mills will be forced
to close indefinitely."
. Open Shop Is Threatened.
Informally, also, the manufacturers
have notified the weavers that an open-
shop edict will follow any strike.
After the ultimatum from the manu
facturers had been read, the debate
opened, which lasted for several hours.
Fearing that the Shingle Weavers'
Union might attempt to shut down the
mills of the county which have adopted
the new grading rules and allow the
other, mills, three in number, to run,
whereby some could find employment.

NEW TORK. Sept. 5. (Special.) May-
belle Gilman Corey, with everything that
money can buy, is very unhappy and Is
likely to return to the stage. She con
fessed as much to a New York woman
who has Just returned from Paris.
There is not a single wish that money
can gratify that she need let pass un
satisfied.
Yet she has been unable to buy social
recognltlou. People she wants to know
do not call. She is surrounded with the
glitter of every luxury, but she is alone.
Itt Paris, usually the easiest city in the
world for money to buy enjoyment and
for people who have wealth to obtain so
cial recognition, she Is su.-rounded by a
swarm of parasites.
Since William E. Corey, one of the
holders of the steel trust and many times
a millionaire, put away the wife of his
youth and married Maybelle Gilman, a
few years ago he and his new wife have
not been recognised by society. They
tried to make headway by living abroad
for a tlmo, but society abroad would not
accept the Core-ys.
TAFT HOLES A BRASSIE
President Makes Golf Shot Never
Equaled In America.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6. (Special.) In a
golf match game of 18 holes on the My
opia links at Beverly, between President
Taft and JoBeph A. Altsheler, the Presi
dent holed out a brassle shot at a dis
tance of 170 yards and. without apparent
difficulty.
The little white sphere shot up from
the green grasss, never rising to a height
of more than 20 feet, and flew straight
toward the putting green, eventually
rolling Into the hole.
This is believed to be the American
record for a shot that holed out. In the
general conversation afterward at the
clubhouse one of the members recalled
the fact that a professional had put
down a cleek shot of 150 yards at Bal
tusrol, but no one had ever heard before
of a shot 170 yards in length holing out
in this country. It may also exceed any
thing of the kind that has been done
abroad.

WASHINGTON, Sept 5. Scientists
will soon have at their disposal the

observatory on the Western continent.
It is on the top of Mount Whitney,
California, over 14,000 feet above sea
level.
Realizing the value for effective as
tronomical and meterologlcal work of
an observatory far above the clouds.
the Smithsonian Institution decided to
build a suitable one on Mount Whit
ney. It has been difficult to construct
the small three-room stone structure,
as It was necessary to take all the ma
terial to the great height on pack mules
over narrow, rocky trails.
HORSE SLUICED FROM SAND
Fire Deportment Performs an Un

der unusual and novel service, when a
horse driven by two boys, in attemptmg
to ford a creek running through the city,
became stuck in the quicksand and grad
ually sank until It was threatened with
death.
The firemen were called upon to bring
their hose and use it in sluicing sand
away from the horse sufficiently for it
to extricate itself. When the firemen ar
rived only the head of the horse remained
out of the water and a few mlrfutes more
would have been fatal to It, but the
sluicing process proved successful and
the animal was saved.

SECRETARY TO VISIT TAFT
President Making Close Study
of Situation.
WOULD FORESTER LIKE IT?
jf Talked-Of Change Is Made, Belief
Is That Plnchot Would Resign
Rather Than Be Directly
Subordinate to Balllnger.
BEVERLY, Mass., Sept. 6. (Special.)
Lively speculation Is being Indulged in
around the Summer capital regarding
results thit may follow the visit of Sec
retary of the Interior Balllnger to
Beverly tomorrow.
It Is Idle to attempt to forecast any
development, for the reason that the
President and all those closely connected
with him have aken particular pains
to prevent any knowledge respectfng the
executive position toward the conserva
tion controver&y that has been raging
from Washington to the Pacific Slope
from leaking out.
A vitally interesting thing for the tlmo
being is the fact that the President is
evincing a determination to be thorough
ly posted as to all phases of the matter.
So far as can be learned, however, tho
President did not summon the Secretary
of the Interior to Beverly, the latter. It
being understood, having come from the
West to look after the Washington end
as it concerns his department and having
been desirous, in view of various reports
that have been in circulation, to lay a
lot of documents before his chief, as well
as to make a personal statement of the
case.
One of the hints thrown out recently is.
to the effect that an effort may be made
to transfer the'forestry service from Vhe
Department of Agriculture to the De- '
partment of the Interior. Since the
movement for conservation assumed
large proportions, many have been im
pressed by a conflict that Is likely to
result at all times when two departments
have to deal with matters Involving the
ime general scope, or closely related
subjects.
Whether, under all the circumstances.
Chief Forester Plnchot would consent to
remain In office if he were placed where
he would be directly subordinate to the
Secretary of the Interior Is susceptible
of doubt. However, In the general scheme
of effecting economy . by eliminating a
conflict in the respective work of dif
ferent departments it would seem that
eventually one cabinet official shall be
given full and unrestricted authority.
