THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AP
POINTED ISY ItAILKOADH SUB
MIT THEIK ItEl'ORT.
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.

SECURE STEEL FROM SAND.
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.

SECRETARY TAFT AXD BACON
DECLARE FORCE MUST BE
USED TO BRING PEACE.
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."
