Kxtensive Kffcct of Advance Given
iSteelworkers.
PITTSBl'RG. Ta.. Nov. 24. Two million
dollars additional each year win be dis
tributed through the Pittsburg steel dis
trict by reason of the increase in wages
of the labor force of the United States
Steel Corporation, which goes into effect
January 1 and which was announced by
the Associated Press last night. The
notleo of advance will be posted in the
steel mills in the neighborhood about
December 1.
A conservative estimate of the total
number of laborers employed by the sub
sidiary companies of the United States
JSteel Corporation in what Is known as
the Pittsburg district is 50,000. The in
crease will affect all the men in the class
of common labor employed at the num
erous plants of the Carnegie Company,
the National Tube Company, the Ameri
can Sheet Company and the American
Steel & Wire Company.

Reading Road Reaches Limit of
Concessions to Trainmen.
READING. Pa.. Nov. 24. The Reading
Railroad Company rejected the demand
of the trainmen for a 10-hour day. The
men were told that the company had
granted them a substantial increase in
wages and made a number of other con
cessions and. in view of this fact, nothing
further could be expected for the present.
The men affected are employed in the
freight and eoal train service. They num

HUNG LONG OFF STRAITS
(Continued from First Page.)
the river caused the loss of their ships.
The manner in which these vessels
were lost removes them from the list
of craft which might have suffered
through any physical or artificial dis
abilities of the port.
Iverna Improperly Ballasted.
Of the other vessels of the storm
tossed fleet it is not clear that either
serious delay or damage has been ex
perienced except by the Iverna, and her
delay, as previously related, was due to
an insufficient amount of ballast and
a badly fouled bottom. This econom
ical practice of some shipowners in
sending their vessels to sea with an
Insufficient amount of ballast to keep
them from capsizing has cost the lives
of two Columbia bar pilots, along with
the entire crew of the British ships
Cadzow Forest and Andrada. WMth
both of these ships the pilot before
going on board called attention to
the dangerously light draft of the ves
sels and expressed misgivings regard
ing the outcome.
In the case of the Cadzow Forest,
Pilot John Grasman was exceptionally
bitter in his comment on the owner
who would imperil the life of his crew
in order to save the expense of a few
tons of ballast, and his last words be
fore he boarded the vessel were:
"I would rather be a tugboat deck
hand at 140 per month than to pilot
such ships at $1000 apiece."
Another contributing factor in the
delays suffered by some vessels Is the
failure of the captains to familiarize
themselves with the facilities of the
port. The instructions carried by some
of the captains who came here this
year were based on conditions which,
existed in the days of the Flavel
regime. These instructions tell the
shipmaster to refuse pilots from the
schooner and take only those from
the tugs.
As a result the schooner has this
season engaged in a great many wild
chases after vessels which, had the
masters known the true situation,
would have been glad to haul into po
sition and take a pilot. The Galena
was chased more than 60 miles by the
pilot schooner, and throughout more
than a day's run paid not the slightest
attention to the schooner, and the night
before she struck the beach she was at
dark heading straight for destruction.
The pilot service could be Improved
by the removal of some of the dead
timber, but shipowners and shipmasters
could also help matters by becoming
posted on the situation. In view of
the experience of the Puget Sound fleet
we might reasonably expect a cessation
in the "knocking" to which this port
has been subjected by some owners
who Btill seek to avenge past wrongs
by the infliction of a differential not
Justified by conditions now existing.
COLD SHOULDER FOR BOB
(Continued from First Page.)
publican Senators are not going to how
down to him; they are hot going to listen
to his assaults and then elevate him to a
position of leadership. But how to subdue
him is a question. There is danger that
La Follette, if loo severely punished, will
pose as a martyr and reap the martyr's
reward. The Senate would not want such
a result. Therefore the perplexity as to
how to solve this problem.
Personally La Follette will have a cold
reception from Republican Senators, but
from the experiences of the last session
it is assured that he will be warmly
received by the Democrats. La Follette's
assaults upon Republicans are balm to
the members of the minority and they
were pleased to extend the glad hand to
him. But just what to do with him the
Republican's will not be able to decide
in a hurry. True, his lineup with the
Democrats would warrant them in ex
cluding him from the Republican caucus,
and, having been elected as a Republican,
he could not enter the Democratic cau
cus. That would leave him in the posi
tion of a man without a party. But to
exclude him from the caucus would make
him a martyr, and that is to be avoided
if possible. Indeed La Follette wodld
make capital out of such a move: It
would probably strengthen him in some
quarters and would encourage him to con
tinue his attacks upon his colleagues.
La Follette, the martyr, would be an
even greater drawing card on the lecture
platform than La Follette, the reformer,
and Senators generally don't want to ad
vertise the La Follette series of lectures.
The majority in the Senate can, and
probably will, see to It that La Follette's
pet legislation is pigeon holed: he will
be kept on insignificant committees; he
will not gain admission to the party coun
cils, and lie will not be welcomed among
Republican Senators. That is probably
as far as the Senate will go. Neverthe
less in these matters it can make things
uncomfortable for him. The Senate has
wondrous ways of showing its disap
proval of upstarts, and it has squelched
other ambitious new Senators before. It
probably never had as hard a case to
deal with as it will have this Winter,
but it is one Senator against 0; these
are tremendous odds.
The past session of Congress failed to
develop a single Republican Senator in
symapthy with La Follette. That was
before La Follette traveled the country
o'er attacking Republican Senators in
their homes. He is sure to have no Re
publican friends, now that he has totally
ignored Senatorial etiquette and Sena
torial courtesy. While the Senate will
probably prevent.La Follette from carry
ing out his pet schemes, the resourceful
"Bob"will worry his Republican associ
ates not a little. But he has not chosen
the course that leads to fame; it may
lead to notoriety.

Justice Gaynor Wants Trust
Officials Imprisoned.
"GREATEST CRIME OF AGE'
New York Supreme Magistrate Thus
Characterizes Favoritism In
Freight Rates His Boston
Speech Creates a Sensation.
BOSTON, Nov. 24. (Special.) Jus
tice Gaynor, of the New York Supreme
Court, who was the principal speaker
at the Economic Club dinner tonight,
created a sensation by declaring that
the present system of punishing cor
porations while letting their guilty
officials escape is stirring up class
hatred.
"Any favoritism in rates is absolute
ly unlawful and' always was," said
Justice Gaynor. . "The only new law
we needed on that head was to enable
us to put In prison railroad officials
who should be found guilty of such
favoritism. Inasmuch as we now have
such laws, the prosecution of the cor
poration Itself a mere name that has
no physical body to be put In prison,
instead of the guilty officials is not
having a good effect on the public
mind, to say the least- It is the guilty
railroad official, however high and
even though he may have risen to a
high place in the councils and gov
ernment of the Nation, or if he be only
the local station agent -in a village, he
should be prosecuted.
"This favoritism in freight rates is
the greatest crime of our day. To al
low one man or set of men to have
their freight carried over public high
ways at a rate so much lower than his
competitor as to enable him to under
sell his rival and drive him out of
business, is so heartless and damnable
that we -shall be looked back upon by
our descendants and by the future his
torian as a generation lost to morality
for allowing such a condition so long."
COMPANY PAYS THE FINES
Law Fails to Punish Railroad Offi
cials for Rebating.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24. (Special.) Rail
road officials fined by Ue Government
for rebating do not pay the fines them
selves. The stockholders pay the bills'.
Such at least is the case of the Chi
cago. Burlington &' Qulncy, according
to evidence submitted today to F. K.
Lane, of the Interstate Commerce Com
mtsison. The evidence was taken in
connection with the punishment of the
railroad recently by a $40,000 fine and
of First Vice-President Darius Miller
and Traffic Agent C. C. Burnham by
fines of $10,000 each on charges of re
bating. Today's hearing came tip on a charge
that $20,000 of the road's funds had
ww. iiaad trt. nov XT lllor'o flnH Rlirn-
ham's fines. "Solicitor Dawes, of the(
road, paid the fines , to Clerk Mac
Millan of the United States Court."
testified General Auditor Sturgls. "He
tendered a $60,000 check signed by
Cashier W. F. Fabian. It was accepted
in payment of all three fines. The
amount of the check was not entered
as a single amount on the books. It
was placed In the 'correction of freight
earnings' account and spread over two
months, April and May. The account
contained entries necessary in errors in
accounts of freight earnings claims
arising through demands on over
charges and the like. The $60,000 was
Bpread over two months that the
monthly report of the road that car
ried the freight might not show too
large a reduction for a single month."
Railroad Man Hard on Rebates.
KAN9AS CITY. Mo.. Nov. 24. Arthur
E. Stlllwell, president of the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient Railroad, addressing the
Railroad Club here last night, denounced
the practice of rebating. He said:
"Of all crimes in the whole category,
the rebating crime Is the most unjust. Re
bating strikes at the people the fountain
head of the rights delegated to the aver
age railroads. The hired assassin of old
may be pictured as a white-robed saint
compared with the rebatcr. I'd like to
see the rebater get 20 yes 50 years in the
penitentiary."

ball, only to' lose It on an attempted
forward pass tho play that the Yale
men had been working so successfully.
Rip Vp Crimson Line.
Yale started in to rip up the crimson
line and succeeded in keeping the ball
in crimson territory, but heavy penal
izing for holding and off-side kept
them back. At this stage both sides
fell to punting. Burr proved handy
at this and Harvard invaded the blue
territory in a businesslike manner.
Getting the ball on her own 20-yard
line, Yale failed to gain in two at
tempts and on the third was penal
ized 15 yards, the ball being taken to
Yale's 3-yard line. Veeder punted from
behind the Yale goal, which ended with
the ball In Yale's possession on her
own 18-yard line. Here the blue was
again penalized 15 yards apd the ball
was again taken to Yale's three-yard
line. Again Veeder booted the oval out
of danger from a position behind his
own goal. Dines went In at quarter
in place of Jones, and casting aside
all attempts at the new style game,
Yale waded into the Harvard line and
began to rip It up for steady gains. Re
inforced by several fresh men. who
were run in at this stage of the con
test, the blues started a parade down
the field and it looked like a certain
touchdown for the Yale team, when the
whistle ended the game with the ball
in Yale's possession on Harvard's 15-
yard line.
Minnesota 8, Indiana 6.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 24. (Special.)
Minnesota nosed out a victory in the
gridiron contest against Indiana on
Northrop field today by a score of S

nation of circumstances secured two
safeties and a goal from field, while
Indiana by a fluke scored a touchdown

FIND THEM TRUE SPORTSMEN
Eugene Football Players Royally
Treated at The Dalles.
The Second football team of the Univer
sity of Oregon arrived in Portland early
yesterday morning and left on the morn
ing train to attend the Oregon-O. A. C.
game. The players were loud in their
praise of the treatment they received at
The Dalles, both on and off the field.
The game was a hard one with little
advantage to either side. The Dalles
boys made more yardage, but Oregon
held at critical times. The final score of
6 to 5 tells the story of the game. One
of the players said:
"From reports we expected to go up
against a team of young prize fighters
with crowds of armed 'bunchgrassers' on
the side lines ready to 'shoot us up' if
we made a showing against the home
team. But we were treated royally from
the time we landed in the town till our
departure. Manager Stubling and the en
tire Dalles team did everything to make
our stay pleasant. The decisions of the
officials were fair and impartial.
"We expect to bring The Dalles team
to Eugene next year and will shgw them
that we appreciate the treatment ac
corded us while in The Dalles."
TWO CLOSE BILLIARD GAMES
Cutler Defeats Taylor, McLaughlin
Disposes of Peterson.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24. Both of today's
games in the 18.2 balk-line billiard tourna
ment for professionals were close. The
earlier game between Albert G. Cutler, of
Boston, and Alexander Taylor, of Chicago,
was a rather fast one, but the night con
test between Edward McLaughlin, of this
city, and Charles Peterson, of St, Louis,
was a tedious exhibition, which lasted 4S
innings.
Cutler played fine billiards against Tay
lor, the winner's high run being 83, while
Taylor's best was 57. In the game tonight
McLaughlin won, 400 to 357, from Peter

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 24. (Spectal.)
In the negotiations between members of
the Russian-Japanese Commission sitting
here, a note of fresh hostility between
the Czar and the Mtkado was sounded to
day. The Mikado's representatives main
tain that the Japanese have a right to
fish in the Amur River, because Japan
owns property rights in the trans-Baikal

puted by the Russians, who point out that
no such provision was made in the
Portsmouth treaty.
Prince von Konsky issued a fiery ap
peal tonight declaring the danger of an
other war and urging Russia to be better
prepared than before. Japan is building
four railroads, commercially unproduct

visions for its army.

government to apply the law to the double-tracking
of the Siberian and new Us
surl railroads, arguing that a stronger
fleet is not now available for Eastern ser
vice, as Japan would find some pretext
for refusing to let Russian warships into
Vladivostok harbor. The cabinet has
practically agreed to this suggestion and
tne lungs renders them peculiarly suscep
tible to consumption.
If the catarrhal condition could be en
tirely removed by some form of treat
ment, the liability to contract consump
tion would be also removed.
It is claimed for Peruna that when
faithfully used, according to directions, It
will relieve the catarrhal condition arising
in any organ of the body.
Perhaps the most frequent illustration
of the fact that Pe
runa will relieve
cases of internal ca
tarrh are the numer
ous cases of catarrh
of the lungs that

An annoying and persistent cough; a
loss of flesh; a shortness of breath; weak

The government estimates that the cost
of work would he $120,000 a mile, and an
American syndicate, headed by a Chi

be made in America, will be one of the
bidders. Should it bo impossible to ar

road itself.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.
The mention of sulphur wtll recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses every
Spring and Fall.
It was the universal Spring and Fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and,
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The Idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tity had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a tablespoonful
of tne crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experi
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated
pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly
concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul
phur acts directly on the liver and ex
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination of
waste material. -
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molasses
every Spring and Fall, but the crudity
and impurity of ordinary flowers of sul
phur were often worse than the disease,
and cannot compare with the modern
concentrated preparations of sulphur, of
which Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is un
doubtedly the best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood in a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wllkins, while experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
to any other form. He says: "For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially when
resulting from constipation or malaria.
I have been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuaft's Calcium Wafers. In
patients suffering from bolls and pimples
and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have
repeatedly seen them dry up anil disap
pear in four or five days, leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers is a proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, yet I know
of nothing so safe and reliable for con
stipation, liver and kidney troubles and
especially in all forms of skin diseases
as this remedy.
At any rate people who are tired of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood "puri
fiers" will find in Stuart's Calcium Waf
ers, a far safer, more palatable and
effective preparation.
