all shipments of lumber have been for

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Conges-

become so serious that the the railroad
authorities are considering the adoption
of drastio mesns to force merchant to
unload their shipments promptly. About
5000 cars of freight are now waiting to
be unloaded. Merchants are delaying
through what they term lack of storage
space, Among the unloaded cars ere 1200
cars of lumber. The railway authorities
see no good reason why lumber should
not bo promptly unloaded.
If the shippers do not assist in reliev
ing the situation the officials say they
may be forced to raise the daily storage
charge on unloaded cars from $1 to $10
or possibly $15.
MUST GIVE THE NEWS.
CHICAGO, July 24. The growing

ance must be given out' for publication
the day they are filed, whether service
has been owaied on the defendants or
not.
An order forbiding the indiscriminate
suppression of divorce suits was issued
by Charles Vaile, clork of the Superior
Court. In some instances lawyers at-
te)mting to save their clients from
notoriety in suits for divorce were de
liberately giving fictitious names in the
bils filed, or if the real names were given
they induced the deputy clerks to sup
press the bill for service. ,

ILL NOT RETIRE
Congressman Uttlefield Still Wants
His Job.
LABOR UNIONS AFTER HIM
Maine Representative is Marked For
Slaughter by Labor Union and is
Fighting Them Have Him on
Their "Black List."
WASHINGTON. July 24 (Special
Some little while ago we were re
galed with the story that Congressman
Littlcfield of Maine had determined to
follow the example of that other son of
Maine, Thomas B. Reed, and retire from
Congress to practice law in New York.
ne would not stand for re-election, the
story ran and there were elaborate de
tails of bis plans for the legal conquest
of the metropolis. Mr. Littlefield did not
confirm the story nor did he deny it
At least, the denial never overtook the
original tale. '
And yet we find Mr. Littlefield fighting
tooth and nail up in Maine to prevent
the very thing for which he was said to
languish, 1, e., retirement from the
nouse of Representatives. The labor
union have him on their "black list"
and are said to have injected a good deal
of ginger into the contest.
Even with election day yet far re
moved, the situation became so alarm'
ing that Mr. Littlefield set up a Mace
donian cry for help, more particularly
the help of Speaker Joseph Cannon, who
also is under the ban of labor. Mr. Can
non heard the cry, and responded with
a note of aymnaty. He will do all he can
to save the scalp of Littlefield.
This is about the first return we have
from the campaign organized labor an
nounced it was going to wage against
those members of Congress whose rec
ords and promises did not square them
selves with the demands of the Ameri
can Federation of Lobor. Credit has been
claimed for the failure of a couple of
minor men to secure renominatiens, but
in all these cases factional fights cut
more figure than the labor unions.
The case of Mr. Littlefield in Maine
and the contests at other points where
the unions have set out to defeat promi
nent men will be watched with' interest
by politcians of all parties. If the
unions make good by defeating any con
siderable number of the men they have
marked for slaughter, there will be a new
force in American politics and one that
must be reckoned with under all cir
cumstances. It may come to Jass that
no man will dare become a candidate for
office in their land of liberty unless he
bears the O. K. mark of some walking

BRYAN IKES
ADDRESS
His Rider Passes Parlia
mentary Union.
IT'S AUTHOR CHEERED
At Amended It Provides for Medi
tation on All Points
At Issue.
BRYAN'S SPEECH ELOQUENT
Nebraskan Says Amendment is Aimed
to Widen Scope of Arbitration .
to Include Questions of Na
tional Honor.
LONDON, July 24 William J. Bryan'
proposed rider to the model arbitration
treaty was discussed at a session of the
International Council of the Inter
Parliamentary Union this morning, and
resulted in its being recast, as follows:
"If a disagreement should arise which
is not included in those to be submitted
to arbitration, the contracting parties
shall not resort to any act of hostility
before they separately or jointly invite,
a the case may necessitate, the forma
tion of an international commission of
inquiry or mediation of one or more
friendly powers, this requisition to take
place, in necessary, to accordance with
Article VIH of The Hague convention,
providing for a peaceful settlement of
international conflicts.'
On the resumption of the sessions of
the conference today the above was
unanimously adopted after speeches by
former Austrian Minister of Commerce
von Plener and Mr. Bryan, warmly sup
porting the amended rider. The latter
said that his amendment was aimed at
widening the scope of arbitration so as
to include questions of national honor,
the chances being a hundred to one that
the proposed investigation of facts would
also settle any question of national hon
or. If the hand of war could be stayed
till the conscience awakened, wars would
become more remote. The amendment,
therefore, was a long step in the direc-
tion of peace. Mr. Bryan's speech was
brief but eloquent, and aroused much
enthusiasm among the delegates.
BRYAN FAVORS D0UMA.
Says He Was Sorry to See Parliament
Dissolved by Emperor.
NEW YORK, July 24. A cable dis
patch to a morning paper from London,
says:
W. J. Bryan said yesterday that hs
was sorry to see the Douma dissolved.
Premier Campbell-Bannerman had hap
pily expressed the situation when he
paraphrased the old saying: "The Douma
is dead, long live the Douma," meaning
that whatever may happen to the per-
sonnel of the Douma, as an institution
it still lives. Mr. Bryan added:
"I am satisfied there will be no back
ward steps whatever thje Czar may
attempt to do. . The recognition of the
right of the people to self-government
cannot be undone. I believe the Czar
made a great mistake in ordering the
dissolution. From my observation ' the
members of the Douma are men with
purposes and possessing ample qualifi
cations to deal with the necessities of
their country.
The Czar should have
treated with the Douma."
Mr. Bryan insists that the visit of
Colonel M. C. Wetraore of St. Louis,
was not for the purpose of inducing him
to give up the idea of returning to the
United States by way of New York, ne
said he would stick to his original itin
erary. Mr. Wetmore will return with
him.
GROCERS THANK ROOSEVELT.
Rational Retail Grocers' Association Up
i bold President's Purs Food Stand.
CHICAGO, July 24 -Tbrough its exe-
cutive committee which met here today,
150,000 member of the National Retail
Grocers' Association, thanked President
Roosevelt for the stand he took in re
gard to the pure food law recently passed
by Congress.
"Although the law has some defects, It
is a big step in the right direction." said
John A. Greene, president of the Ao
eiution. "It is the retail grocers who are
just deeply concerned in the pure food
movement and it was our association
which started and help to maintain the
campaign. We had a committee in
Whington and most of last session of
Congress.
"We now will make a campaign in the
various states for the making of laws
to conform with the National Pure Food
Law and to make convictions under the
state laws possible. We predict that in
side of two years the manufacture of
impure food will be impossible." Other
business considered peraining mostly to
the grocers national convention is to be
held next January in 'Dallas, Texas.
