New Rate Law Will Prevent Rail ways From Extending Privileges, to CIunhcs Now Favored. ? Chicago, Sept. 26. J. C. Stubba, chairiiiun of the executive offlce.j committee, appointed about tr.o months ago by all the railroads we;; of Chicago to study the doubtf..) points in the new rate law and to secure the advice of counsel regard ing the matter, bus completed the preparation of the committee repo.-i on passenger matters and it will be formally submitted at a meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger As sociation today. The report says: Free transportation cannot be giv en to land or immigration agents unless they are employes in such sense that the carriers legally could give them transportation. There is no authority in law for making lower rates to land seekera and settlers than for other travelers. This interpretation seems to abolluh the home-seekers' excursion which all lines have been running for years. The law committee advises that transportation cannot be Issued in payment for advertising. It is gener ally accepted, however, that carriers may carry an open account with pub lishers and that publishers may carry an open account with carriers for ad vertising, and these accounts can be balanced perceptibly. The balance, whatever it Is, must be paid In cash. The transaction must be devoid of previous agreement that the service done by either party for the other is to be paid for in any other way than by cash. Special reduced rates may be made for Federal and State troops and of ficers and employes of the United States Geological Survey and recla mation service In the future as in the past. The words of the law except ing "inmates of hospitals and charit able and elemosynary institutions and persons engnged in charitable and missionary work" from the free pass prohibition are held to apply tc doctors, nurses and other employes. Nuns, sisters of charity, mission aries, national or State officers of re ligious organizations, teachers and pupils In Indian schools, officers of the Salvation Army and Volunteers of America, It Is held, may be given free transportation. Special rates for theatrical com panies, baseball clubs, etc., are held to be discriminatory. They should bo taken tinder the party rate rules,' the report says. Special rates for army and navy officers and their families, which al ways have been made In the past are held unlawful for the same rea son. Regarding the interchange ol transportation by common carriers for the use of officers and employes and their families, the committee de cldes such Interchange may be uiadt with sleeping car, express and steam Bhlp companies, but not with tele graph and telephone companies. It Is held that free transportation nia not be Issued to members of railroad unions who are not in tho employ ol the company. Want to End Vice in Vallejo. Washington, Sept. 26.

Government Experts Claim Electric Furnace Process will Work. Portland, Ore., Sept 26. Govern ment experts who have been conduct ing experiments in Portland for the last year announced yesterday that they had succeeded In producing steel in paying quantities from black and by means of an electric furnac The sand was obtained from a bar at the mouth of the Columbia river and great deposits of it exist all along the Pacific Coast from Alaska to Lower California. Dr. David T. Day and O. Howell Clevinger of the Government Bureau of Mines and Mining, who have conducted the ex periments, say the discovery will revolutionize the iron and steel In dustry by providing cheaper and greatly superior raw material. Half a ton of the steel was run Into molds and carted to the Colum bia Steel Worka where it was turned Into wheels and other small articles The material was found to be with out a flaw and turned out perfectly. There Is no intermediate operation after the crude steel Is produced from the sand, and it Is ready at once for working. Tltanlan In the sand, which has always resisted smelting, Is no obstacle under the electrical process. There will be no patent on the dis covery and use of the process is free to all. A TEST OF EYESIGHT BURLIXCiTOV RAILROAD ENGI NEERS ARE FORBIDDEN TO USE SPECTACLES. Chicago, Sept. 2G. A drastic rule issued by the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railway may precipitate a strike of locomotive engineers. In substance the recent order Is: - No man wearing glasses will be al lowed to run a passenger engine. Men wearing glasses will be bar red from the cabs of the engines In the suburban service. Wearers of glasses will be re moved from all freight engines that enter congested terminals. That matters have reached a criti cal stage is admitted. The men have taken a strike vote, which was over whelmingly In favor of a strike, and Warren S. Stone, Grand Chief of the Brotherhood, has telegraphed Jamer J. Hill of the gravity of the situation. Negotiations between the manage ment and a committee of the engi neers have been under way for some time, but the officials of the roai have refused to alter their position. The rule affects men who have been long years In the service. A leave-or-die principle Is In volved, according to the engineers. The dust, the cinders and the action of the air, they say, soon weaken the eyes of an engineer. If a man whose eyes are thus affected Is no' allowed to resort to glasses he would be banished from his chosen employ ment. The railroad officials today Issued the following statement regardlrs the differences between the company and its engineers: "The only question at Issue Is tt" adoption of some standard as to eye sight of passenger engineers in cc tain specified service. Even the cot" mlttee for the men admits that thr safety of the traveling public atiu of co-employes requires that some standard, tested either scientifically r by field trials, is necessary, tr--only difference being as to what t shall be and where it shad apply. The company offered to lay the nmt ter before the Interstate Commission, but the committee declined the prop osition." Hero of War III and Helpless. Chicago, Sept. 26. Cooped up 1' a little ward of the Baptist Hospital with three other patients, Generp' Edwin M. McCook, commander of th- cavalry division in "The March to th-j Sea," and for eight years Governor of the Territory of Colorado, is su'- tering the tortures of inflammatory! rheumatism. Racked with pain an1 financially helpless, the foremost j commander Is dependent on fraternal , help which his old army comrade give. He Is far from despondent over his trials. For six weeks the general has ben confined to the hospital.

Peace Plans Are Rejected and Armed Inter cut ion Is Only a .Matter of Hours. Havana, Sept. 26. President To maso Palma and Vice President Ca pote of Cuba have resigned. An extra session of the Congress has been called for Friday and their resignations will then be accepted. Affairs are still critical. Palma Is still in the palace, where he will remain until his resignation is accepted. It is expected here that a procla mation declaring armed Intervention will be issued shortly. It will be dated In Oyster Bay, but probably promulgated through Secretary Taft. The conditions on the Island are In a Btate of chaos. Practically the Cuban Government has ceased to exist, and all that pre vents absolute anarchy is the fear of the strong arm of the United States. All the members of the cabinet and the heads of departments have presented their resignations to Presi dent Palma. He has accepted them, but the officers will retain their po sitions until the resignation of tho President has been presented to Con gress. Senor O'Farrell, Secretary of State and Justice said last night there probably would be a Government by a commission appointed by the Am erican Government. He mentioned Senor Barrlero, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and General Mario Menocal as possible commissioners. This, being the case, the only al ternative left Is for Secretary Taft to order the marines ashore and take charge of the affairs of the republic under the provisions of the Piatt amendment. Any other course would leave the island a prey to anarchy. Havana, Sept. 26. Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Ba con informed the Associated Press yesterday that they were dis gusted with the petty methods of the Government leaders here and the American commissioners admitted that they had practically abandoned hope of bringing peace from the tur moil unless by the use of force. Mr. Taft said: "The Goernment officials, instead of co-operating with the United States to spve the republic, have ro sorted to every kind of obstruction with the object of continuing thulr control of the administration. "President Palma and his adviser have rejected terms of peace whicn were honorable to them, though la the form of a compromise with the opponents. We are still striving to arrange a settlement and we trus' the American people will give n credit for doing everything poss!b! to accomplish a settlement without resorting to force. "I cannot say that we are hopeful, for I have never known a more dis gusting situation. Investigation con vinces us that the elections wprf thoroughly rotten. We do not want to Intervene.but the conditions effect ed may necessitate it. Our reports show that the Insurgent commander" have lost control of their foreo, which are now lawless bandits tha any moment may loot and burn. Th situation seems to demand the uj of force."
