into the Malady.
PORTLAND, Jan. 25. Not satls:lol
with the explanation sent out from
San Francisco relative to the su'ldn
death of Oscar J. Kendall, bodygut.i
to Deputy United State' Attorney
General Heney, friends of the deceisul
have placed the matter In the han 's
of a local detective agency and D?teo
the Lou Hartman. formerly a mem
ber of the police force, is now In the
Bay City making a thorough investl;.v
tion of the case. W. N. Kendall, a
brother of tha deceased, who c!a!'n
that he has been unable to get arv
satisfactory Information about his
brother's death and the cause for tv.c
mutilation of his body, will leave !:n
mediately for San Francisco, where he
goes with the avowed intention of
sifting the matter to the bottom, nr.d
if he finds that any one is legally lia
ble for the mutilation of his brother's
body, he will prosecute them to th?
limit cf the law.
Although explanations were made l.y
persons in San Francisco that Mr
Kendall died a natural death, and to .t
the vital organs were removed for tl
purpose of settling any doubt as to
the nature of the fatal malady, 'lis
friends here are not satisfied. There
are so many peculiar circumstance-1
connected with the affair that th v
want the whole matter thoroughly in
vestigated, so there may be no sha !
ow of a doubt left in the minds of
anvone. To this end they placed "..c

MAD IRISH ACT.
Attempt to Stop Ridicule of Hibernians
on the Stage.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23. The Victi
theater was the scene of a remark
able demonstration last night. In the
middle of the act given by the Rus
sell Brothers, in which they have ap
peared for years, two hundred m !
suddenly burst into a storm of hiss".J.
ca'calln and jeers. The two men who
have assumed roles of Irish s-rvant
puis so lo:.g, struggled to make them
selves heard, but as the uproar In
creased they were finally forced to
give up and the curtain was rung down
on the act. When this was done j
plained the Incident. He said that cer
tain societies, whose members rest-nt
man arose in the orchestra and ex
ridicule heaped upon the Irish race by
certain players, had joined In a cru
sade to stop these acts.
About a week ago Oscar Hammer
stein was waited upon by a delegation
from these societies. He referr id
them to his son, William, who is man
ager of the hous?. Toung Hammer
stein heard the protests but the Rus
sell Brothers went on just the name-.
The delegation had threatened to tp.ke
such action as was witnessed last ev
ening. DEPORT CHINESE.

The Interstate t'ommcrce r.miin'."
stun today transmitted to I'lUiitrcss l.s
(lent report on Its Investigation -m
discrimination and monopolies u
dcr the Joint r-sohitln of Consic-s
of March 7, tt'urt. known as the T'll
man-dlllesple resolution. The rep "l
deals with bituminous coul companl

bounded on the south by Norf.dk S
Western Railway, on th, north
Canada, and on the east by the At
lantto seaboard. The roads Involved
are the Norfolk & Western. Ohou

Central and Pittsburg tnovv the W-t-em
Maryland).
The report says all th.? above com
panles own, directly or by stock own
ership In other companies large In
terest In coal lands.
The report Is practically a summary
of the Information gleaned from in-
Investigation thus far made, togeth r
with the preservation of facts petiln
ent to the general Inquiry, and makes
recommendations for legislative actio')
as follows:
That every common carrier engag-d
In Interstate transportation of coal
be required to make public the syst.:n
of car distribution In effect upon Its
railway and the new rat divisions
thereof, showing how the equlpnnat
for coal service Is divided bet wen
the several divisions of Its road, an 1
that the carrier be required to pub
llsh at stated perlols the system
car distribution in effect and the act
ual distribution made to each mining
operator. "
That where Lb.- capacity of th- mln
Is the basis for the distribution of
equipment, a fair, just and qua,,k-
rating of the mines be required.
That after reasonable titn- carrl"
.ni':o-,.il i intersta:- commerce be
prohibited from using "individual,
or "private" cars for the handling of
coal traffic.
That carriers engaged in Interna'
commerce be forbidden after reason
able time to own or h ive Interest, di
rectly, or Indirectly, In any up -rated
coal property, except sixth as are ex
clusively for their own fuel supply,
and that ownership by officers or em
ployes of common carriers of any coal
properties or stock be forbidden.
A summary is given showing the In
terest of railroad officials In corpora
Hons or companies operating comm."
clal lines or engaged In coal traffic.
The report says It appears that one
of the most fruitful sources of coni'
plaint by shippers against the carrl -rf
as far as car distribution and the fur-
nshlng of facilities Is concerned, hi'
grown out cf the want of publc.it
on the part of the carriers in the'r
dealings with shlpp'is. If the car
riers had conducted their business with
shippers openly and had furnished In
formation as to car distribution, to
which i-hlripers were entitled, much of
the favoritism, .according to the re
port, would have b-en averted an 1
wherever unjust rates were made tb
fact that they were made would hav
been made public. The uaiumore it
Ohio road had made it almost lmpoi)
slble for the shipper to ascertain act
ually what was the system of car dis
tribution, and whether it was faith
fully carried out. The commission
announces that the methods of op
eratlng mines on these roads wh 'n.
the capacity of the mine to produo
coal is an element considered In tfc3
distribution of cars of the several dl
visions or districts and each mine
therein, has not been carried out with
the care which should characterize
such responsible and Important duties
