I.t was charged by Mr. Beckman that the Northern Pacific and Great North ern had been guilty of "disciplining shippers who were active In the agita tlon for reciprocal demurrage, and that In three cases these roads had volun tiered to show the shippers "what a real car shortage meant," with the re sult that the men "thus shown" had boen forced to go absolutely without equipment. "Our present car shortage," continued Mr. Beckman, "has lasted thirteen months, and some of our people are go ing out of business not voluntarily, but by the aid of the Sheriff. We ask for a receiver for these two roads on the ground that they have not fulfilled thir duties as public carriers.

SHE'S A REAL HOODOO SHIP Misfortune Always. In tne Wake of the W. H. Bradford. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5. (Special.) The ship W. H. Bradford, bound from Baltimore for Portland, carries with it a hoodoo that cannot be shaken off. and 1 the story of Harry Sinclair, one of the old Snug Harbor type of sailors and a man of the seas for DO years, can be believed. this hoodoo ship also carries with it captain who adds to the general list of misfortunes that have visited the vessel The ship Is now somewhere between Honolulu and Portland. The crew that took her ground Cape of Good Hope from Baltimore having left her at Honolulu after having been paid off and she sails now with a new complement of men. but with the same captain. W. Stlnson. It was when the Bradford was lying at Baltimore that the first misfortune befell her.

Mt- Hnd when tho storm ir?s at its height one of the crew fell down a hatchway and was badly Injured. At Curtlsa Bay. one of the boys wa drowned and the vessel was barely on ber ray when one of the sailors was knocked . overboard from aloft and fell Into the sea and was drowned. In June one of the sailors named Daicey was taken sick and died and on Thanksgiving eve another reaman succumbed to the Panama fever. X early every man aboard was down with illness and the medicine chest waa not sufficiently stocked to give them re lief. During nearly all of the trip the ship was short of provisions and the water was hardly fit to drink. For three months the men were put on short rations. When the vessel was off Honolulu, the men de manded that Captain Stlnson put In for Fitpplles and even then he did so only on the word of the mates, says Sinclair, that trouble would ensue unless he did. At Honolulu the ship's owners were sued for J-'O-OOO by six ol the crew that had been forced to the hospital. The suit was com' promised for $5000.

His experiment was made be tween tha roof of a building In Berlin and wireless telegraph tower at Nausen. which Is 25 miles from Berlin In a straight line. "The possiblltles of extending- the dis tance." says Professor S1aby "are almost limitless.

Lapponi, is one of the most eminent med icos in Rome, and the favorite practi tioner in Vatican circles. Through -his ap pointment to be the Pope's physician, he succeeds automatically to Dr. Lapponl's practice among the "Black" aristocracy; that Is. the noble families of clerical and papal sympathies, as - opposed to the white aristocracy, who are adherents of the crown. Dr. Petaccl is described by an old friend as a man of imposing presence and of tha nnest manners, -riving- one the impression of possessing- a singularly sweet disposi tion. He Is an excellent specimen of the old-fashioned type of family doctor: some people would perhaps say that his manner nas a greater therapeutic value than his science.
