CHICAGO. Jan. S. According: to a
statement made today at the National
Reciprocal Demurrage Convention by
Victor H. Beckman, secretary of the
Pacific Coast Lumbermen's .Association.
the lumbermen of the Northwest pro
pose to apply for receivers for the
Northern Pacific and Great; Northern
Railways, on the ground that they have
failed to perform their duty as public
carriers,, and will then bring damage
suits by wholesale, which may exceed
$15,000 in the aggregate. The conven
tion also appointed a -committee to call
on President Roosevelt and request
him to send a special message to Con
gress urging the passage of a recipro
cal demurrage law.
Itoacls Discipline) Agitators.
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.
Mr. Beckman will show president
Roosevelt 1000 photographs which he
has taken all over the Pacific North
west illustrative of the car shortage.
He will show lumber piles In the State
of Washington, aggregating 800,000,000
fcct. awaiting transportation; photo
graphs of 116 sawmills and shtngle
mills, which he declares closed down
and are taclng bankruptcy because, ot
inability to (secure cars.

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. A. bolt of lightning struck her and
nearly every man aboard was laid up as
a t-.i u -1 1 , .1 f Iha Bhnotr Tt.ic wn T j . 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.

"The possiblltles of extending- the dis

POPE'
NEW PRIVATE DOCTOR
Petaccl Is Fine Type of Old-Fash
ioned Family Physician.
ROME, Jan. 5. (Special) The Pope's
new private physician, Dr, Gulseppe Pe
taccl. who has succeeded the late Eh.
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.
As consulting physician, the Pope has
appointed Dr. Ettore Marchlafava. a sel
entiflc physician of great reputation, who
has written standard works on pathol
ogy, and is sent for In Important cases
rrom all parts of Europe.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6. The Times to

"It became known last night that tho
condition of Mr. Hairlman had changed
for the worse In the last day or two.
His frlenijs are now seriously alarmed
about him. The operation which Mr.
Harriman underwent about a week ago
and which was expected to give him re
lief has proved to have been not alto
gether successful, and his condition at
this time Is worse than at any time
since the operation.
'Mr. Harriman had been expected to
appear before the Interstate Commerce
Commission Friday or Saturday, but at
the opening- of the hearing counsel for
the Union Pacific "declared that Its
president would be unable to testify.
Late reports confirmed the Impression
that Mr. Harriman's condition is really
more serious than has generally been
thought.

The Individual deposits In the bank the savlnsrs of the people, according;
to the comptroller, amount to . 289. 778.003. an Increase of S300.24S.000 In a sin

It Is difficult for a mind which has not been trained to think: in millions
and billions to grrasp the slemlftcance o these flgrures slvn in the Comptroller's
report Most or us are unable to thins beyond 1100,000, and our conceptions or
that sum are somewhat hazy. Yet. here we have an annual Increase In Individ

this great railroad.
No one would doubt for an Instant the power of Wall street to build such a
railroad. There is a greater power than Wall street back of It a Nation of

out Of their surplus savings. They are building; It along the lines suggested by
Judge Grosscup, of Chicago, who says:
"I should like to see well-managed
throusrh the ownership of their securities by great numbers of people with small
means, so that savings banks will decline in popularity and their deposits
dwindle."
Why should they not build it? "Why should the exploitation of a new en
terprise be left to men already wealthy boyond the. dreams of avarice? Why
should people be content to toll through the years for the privilege of loaning
their little savings for a pittance to the very men who thereby seek to swell
their already swollen fortunes by stock manipulation?
-Will this railroad be built? As well ask. will the sun rise tomorrow? Will
