Second Officer and a Seaman Are Suffocated. PASSENGERS PANIC STRICKEN Aroused From Sleep They Rush to the Pier. Tons of Water Poured Big Ship's Hold. Into New York, Aug. 28. The steamship Imperator, largest vessel afloat, was swept by fire early today as she lay at her dock in Hoboken. with her crew and 1.131 steerage passengers aboard. 1" .tm ,5 ji 2iX The larpest vessel afloat, today br.dly damaged by a fire In which several lives were lost. The ship Is 5(MHM tons displacement and nearly 9(H feet in length. There are nine decks above the water -line. Her engines arc- of the reciprooatiiir tie.' She has accommodations for 4,250 passengers, of all classes, and carries a crew of over 1.0O0. Among the special features of her construction are a reproduction of ancient Komari baths la bronze, marble and ivory; a roof garden, squash courts, symiiasium, swimming pool and a rathskellar, besides a library, lounging rooms and so forth. Second Officer Oobrecht, who led the i ciew into the hold to fight the flames, was cut off from his n.en, enveloped in a cloud of fsniQke and suffocated. His body was found an hour afterward un touched by fire, and brought ashore. A seaman, identity not yet deter mined, one of the party who went down with Gobrecht into the bowels of the vessel, also perished. A fleet of fire fighting craft, augmented by apparatus on shore, surrounded the ship and poured tons of water into her hold. When the ".re was checked at 8 o'clock the great vessel had listed fifteen de grees. The small army in the steerage, aroused from their sleep by the crack ling of llames, rushed, panic stricken, for the pier. Most of them ent the remainder of tile night huddled in discomfort at the shore end on the pier. None of the steerage passengers had been inspected by the customs or health authorities. Hecause of this, armed guards sur rounded them. The immigration au thorities rushed them to Kllis island at the earliest possible moment this forenoon. lMsx-overy of the lire. The great ship was dark with all on board asleeD save the officers on watch, when smoke ascending from the provision room w as discovered simulta neously by a seaman on deck watch and a petty officer on the bridge. Al most at the same moment the crack ling of flames was heard in the steer age quarters. A q.uiet alarm was sounded. Commo dore Huesser. commander in chief of the vessel, was among the first to re spond. The crew of 1.1S0 men were in their places within a minute. The complex fire fighting apparatus of the vessel was set in motion. Every com partment was ordered closed except j tnose whicli it was necessary to leave i open for the steerage passengers to get ashore. The stampede of steerage passengers toward the deck checked for a moment the fight against the flames. The ship's officers and hundreds of the crew, lined up in two columns along the route to .it safety, guided the terror stncKen men and women to the pier. With the ship clear, the entire force turned its hand to extinguishing the (lames. For three quarters of an hour they fought the fire with only the Impera tor's own apparatus. Then, despairing of success, the Hoboken fire depart ment was notified and a general alarm was sounded.

The wisp of smoke cur" into the second cabin when the flames were first discovered had by this time grown to a cloud. Through this cloud, the Ho- boken firemen rushed, dragging their bose. The dining saloon of the second cabin suffered the greatest damage from smoke and the firemen's passage. The handsome apartments of the sa loon were a wreck when the smoke cleared away. Despite the reinforcement of the fire men, the flames gained headway. A tug steaming slowly down the river, roused the water front with its siren. Fireboats from New York, a fleet of tugs and another battery of fire en gines from Hoboken rushed to the pier. A heavy cloud of smoke swung lazily over the vessel and settled down on the water. A dozen tugs floating nearby, were held in readiness to tow the ship out to midstream, as the flames threatened momentarily, at their height, to destroy her. Preparations were made to cut the liner's moorings when the fireboats began pumping water into the hold. With So streams playing hundreds of tons of water on the tire every min ute the flames lost heart and the ves sel began to list. At 8 o'clock there were only two streams on the blaze and it was practically extinguished. The second cabin presented a dismal appearance when the smoke lifted. Its walls and gilded fittings were smudged nfid diirk. its enstlv rues atiti fsai-nets sodden, its furniture scarred, blackened and broken. The damage to the second cabin, ac- yWXljL'il'.ii 1 cording to hasty estimate was greater than that to the provision room and hold, altnougn only painstaKing exami nation could reveal the extent to which the vessel had suffered. It was said that the Imperator's sailing tomorrow night might have to be postponed. She arrived here yesterday. One hundred longshoremen, em ployed by the Hamburg-American line, the Imperator's owners, went on strike 4S hours before the vessel's ar rival. Their places were filled by men from the Brooklyn docks and the strikers were told they would not be tr.ken back. Officers of the line said, however, they believed the strike was in no way connected with fire. Some body's carelessness, they thought, had l een responsible. The Imperator has suffered several mishaps more or less serious since her launching May 23, 1U12. Her maiden trip was postponed from month to month, first because she ran aground while on her way to Hamburg, and then because of trouble with her turbines. A benzine explo sion occurred on board the vessel April 24, which caused the death of two men and serious injury to six others. Reports in May from Har.t burg said the Imperator had been gravely damaged lv vandals. STROKETOVTwrMILLS Topeka Merchant Suffers liight tack Iaralysis in Colorado. At- V. W.

Recognition of "Constitutional Government Ad Interim." MORE DEFlif?" A'RANCE Is Demanded by the Adminis tration at Washington That Huerta Will Not Be a Candidate in October. Washington, Aug. 28. This was the Mexican situation in brief today; Huerta has withdrawn his request for i an exchange of ambassadors and asked that the present diplomatic status con nT Hasan' all ii I" tinue until after Mexican elections in October. By some that was inter preted as a concession. A request for recognition as the "constitutional government ad in terim" which was coupled with the proposal for an exchange of ambassadors was, however, inter preted by many officials as a prac tical reiteration of the original stand of the Huerta government. Senor Gamboa, Mexican minister for foreign affairs pointed out that the demand of the United States for the elimina tion of Huerta would be met by a pro vision of the Mexican constitution which makes a provisional president ineligible to re-election. The Washington government, how ever, desires assurances more definite. John Lind, President Wilson's en voy, was authorized to return to Mex ico City from Vera Cruz if "in his dis cretion it seemed advisable." It is believed here he will go and that negotiations over some of the dis puted points, principally the retire ment of Huerta. may be reopened. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan regarded the situation as "en couraging" and indicated they ex pected some change in the attitude at Mexico City, after the president's ad dress before congress yesterday was digested. American consular officers through out Mexico were rounding up Ameri cans, advising them to leave and pre paring means to aid them in doing so. Major General Wood, chief of staff of the army, returned to Washington to take personal charge of any military measures to carry out. Says Huerta. Is Ineligible. Mexico v-ity, Aug. 28. The full text of the answer of Federico Gamboa. Mexican secretary of state for foreign affairs, to the "second note" sent him by John Lind. President Wilson's con fidential agent in Mexico, under date of Aug. 25, was made public here today. It contains several interesting clauses. In one paragraph the Mexican diplomat quoted Mr. l.lnd's statement that President Wilson, "if Mexico acts immediately and favorably upon the foregoing suggestions," would express to American bankers assurances that the government of the United States 25? i ill X- 5 V 'I I would iook with tavor upon an lmme I diate loan to Mexico.

"I believe." he added, "that there are not loans enough to induce those charged by the law to maintain that dignity to permit it to be lessened. In another part of his lengthy note. referring to the insistence of President Wilson that Victoriano Huerta bind himself not to be a candidate for elec- tion to the presidency at the October elections, Senor Gamboa quotes from the constitution articles from the Mex- rnlil,L ,h L,ta t ctat i

ALL MADE PUBLIC All Documents Connected With Mission of Lind. Published in the Mexican Offi cial Newspaper. THE REASON FOR THE DELAY Was the Secret Character of the Negotiations. Wilson's Message Now Brings Out the Whole Story. Mexico City, Aug. 28. All the doc uments connected with John Lind's mission to Mexico City were published today in Diarlo Official, the Mexican government organ, in their proper chronological order. They consist of the following: 1 The original instructions given to John Lind by President Wilson, which were quoted yesterday in the president's message to congress at Washington. 2 The reply to John Lind by Fed erico Gamboa, Mexican secretary of state for foreign affairs, on August 16. which was published in Washington yesterday contemporaneously with the president's message. 3 The second note presented by John Lind to Federieo Gamboa on August 25. 4 The Mexican secretary of state's reply to this dated August 26. The two latter documents hitherto have not been made public in the United States. The documents are accompanied by an article under the caption: "Our Relations with the United States of America," which says: "Since the strained, relations ex isting between Mexico and the United States began the ad interim govern ment of the Mexican republic with a full understanding of its obligations and its responsibilities purposed with the greatest possible spirit or concilia tion to preserve the national decorum. which was In great danger of suffering a serious and transcendental attront had another line of conduct been adopted from that which was taken under the present circumstances. Reason for Delay. "The strictly secret character of the negotiations which are still under way decided the Mexican government to withhold until today the publication as a whole of the correspondence exist ing between the two chancellories. "In view of the fact that the presi dent of the United States of America has already submitted the case to the knowledge of congress in Washington, the constitutional ad interim govern i ment believes it to De its duty tnrougn orriciai organ to inform all the inhabitants of the republic of the state of these delicate negotiations. "Purposely, not a single comment is added because it believes that the ;c cuments are eloquent enough in themselves. "It confines itself, therefore, to hoping for approval of its acts by the people whose destinies it temporal ily guides and in recommending the irreatest calm ana aiscretion in oruer that the decorous and solemn course i of the aforementioned negotiations i may not be nmaereu. As a testimonial of the respect in which the executive- holds the legisla tive power of the republic, the secre tary of foreign relations already has informed the standing committee of the congress of the union of the state of this international question up to date." Lind's Second Note. After giving in full Mr. Lind's orig inal instructions and Senor Gamboa's reply of August 16, the government o.gan publishes Mr. Lind's second note of August 2 5, which is as follows: "Mr. Minister: The president of the United States of America has not di rected me to answer the observations contained in your note of August 16 end inasmuch as they are not by me deemed pertinent to tne suggestions contained in my instructions commu nicated to you, I refrain from dis cussing them. "In the original instructions of the president of the United States it will be noted he expressly states, 'We wish to act in the circumstances in the spi rit of the most earnest and disinter ested friendship. It is our purpose in whatever we do or propose in this per plexing and distressing situation not only to pay the most scrupulous regard to the sovereignty and independence of Mexico that we take as a matter of course to which we are bound by every obligation of right and honor but also to give every pcssible evidence that we act in the interest of Mexico alone and not in the interest of any person or body of persons who may have per sonal or property claims in Mexico which they may feel that they have the right to press. We are seeking to counsel Mexico for her own good and in the interest of her own peace, and not for any other purpose whatever. The government of the United States would deem itself discredited if it had any selfish or ulterior motive in trans actions where the peace, happiness and prosperity of a whole people are in volved. It is acting out of friendship for Mexico and not as any selfish in terest indicates. Recognition Is Our Affair. "As to the course of action suggested by you to be taken by the United States I may say that the president of the United States regards the question of the recognition of the de facto gov ernment and of any future government in Mexico as one wholly for the United States to determine. In the exercise of its sovereign rights in this behalf the United States will not hesitate to suggest the adaptation by the de facto government of Mexico seeking recog nition and especially at a time of seri ous domestic disturbances of such course of action as in the judgment of the United States can alone lead to recognition in the future. "In the present instance the presi dent of the United States sincerely and ardently believes the de facto govern ment in Mexico will see in his sugges tions the most peaceable plans for serving the highest interest of Mexico and for insuring the speedy re-estab-lichment of domestic tranquility. "In that spirit and in the spirit voiced In his original instructions the presi dent of the United States of America authorizes me to submit for the con sideration of the de facto government In Mexico: Lind's Proposals. "First, that the election called for Oct. 26, 1913, shall be held in accord ance with the constitutional laws of Mexico. "Second, that President Huerta in the manner originally indicated by the president of the United Status of America give the assurance called for in paragraph 'c' of my original instruc tions. "Third, t.iat the remaining proposi tions contained in my original instruc tions shall be taken up later but speed ily and resolve as circumstances per mit in the spirit of their proposal. "The president of the United States of America further authorizes me to say that if the de facto government of Mexico at once acts favorably upon the foregoing suggestions then in that event the president will express to American bankers and their associates assurances that the government of the U-ited States of America will look with favor upo.. the extension of an imme diate loan sufficient in amount to meet the temporary requirements of the de facto government of Mexico. "It is sincerely hoped that your ex cellency's government will deem it con sistent with the best and highest inter ests of Mexico immediately to accept these propositions. They are submit ted in the same spirit and to the same end as the original proposition but in this more restricted form so that the de facto government in Mexico may act thereon without requiring the co operation or concurrence of any factor in the situation. "Permit me also. Mr. Minister, in submitting this final suggestion from the president of the United States ot America to assure you of my deep per sonal obligations and of my innermost sense of appreciation of the numerous evidences of personal good will of which t i,av xor, 1U H j of your excellency of individual citl- zens of the City of Mexico and ot the provisional president. "It only remains for me to renew to your excellency the assurances of my high consideration. (Signed) "JOHN LIND." Troops to the Border. San Francisco, Aug. 2 8. At army headquarters it was announced today that a troop of cavalry would leave the Presidio at Monterey today for Calexico, on the Mexican border, where the activities of constitutional ists have threatened the water supply o the Imperial valley. SUPPMiMJSXTAUY NOTE. Gamboa's Second Kffort Differs Little trom His First. Mexico City. Aug. 28. The text of a supplementary note sent by Federico Gamboa, Mexican secretary of state for foreign affairs, to John Lind at Vera Cruz on the night of Aug. 26 was made public here today. It is as follows: "Yesterday I had the honor of receiv ing from your hands a note in which you are pleased to state that although you have no U.structions from the president of the United States, from the scope of vour instructions you re ply to the note of this government giv en to you through me, of the sixteenth instant, you are pleased to report from those same instructions the paragraph which translated says literally: 'We wish to act in the present cir cumstances under the inspiration of the most lively and disinterested friendship. We propose In all that we do or say by reason of this serious and intricate situation not only to maintain the most scrupulous respect for the sovereignty and independence of Mex ico and we cons! .er ourselves obligat ed to that respect by all the consider ations of honor and right but as well to give all possible proofs that we are working only in the interests of Mex ico and not for any person or group of persons who might have claims re lating to themselves or to their prop erties in this country and who might consider themselves with a right to de mand their settlement. What we in tend is to counsel Mexico for her own good and in the interest of her own peace and with no other object of any kind.

The case, of H. K. Thaw, so far as Sherbrooke is concerned, entered temporary dol drums today. The court victory of his lawyers yesterday in quashing their own writ of habeas corpus and having him recommitted to jail means either that he will remain there until tried by the king's bench criminal side, in October or that New York state, out flanked to date must make some his liberation and seizure by the im migration authorities for deportation. They were working today along two lines. William Travers Jerome con ferred with the attorney general of the Province of Quebec, seeking some means of obtaining his authority for getting Thaw out of his cell. Other counsel for New York continued their efforts to persuade Alex Dupuis, a magistrate, or justice of the peace, at Coaticook. to withdraw the commit ment which he issued after Thaw's arrest there 12 days ago and on which the fugitive is held in the Sherbrooke Jail. Most of Thaw's distinguished Ca nadian counsel left town last night to recuperate after the rigors of their court battles, and Thaw himself con tent to stay in jail here rather than take any chances of being deported to Vermont. .New Hampshire or .New York bv ill-advised liberty at this time, planned a quiet day in his cell. very highly recommended by Presi dent Waters as just the man to teach the teachers of western Kansas how to properly teach agriculture in their schools, as contemplated by the new state laws on that subject.

Xotwith standing the fact that the cattle re ceived at the local yards during the last three days have broken all records the demand has been so large that at no time has the situation been serious at the yards. The receipts here were 72.164 for Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday, over 1,000 more than Chicago and St. Louis combined, yet the mar ket today is as strong as it was a week ago on butchering cattle which have been immediately sold to the local packing houses. The prices on country cattle cattle too thin to butcher and sold to farm ers and stoc kmen from nearby states are from 25 to 50 cents lower. About one-half of the output has been taken cure of by the packers and one-half has been distributed over the country. Iowa leads in the purchase with about 40 per cent, while Illinois and Missouri have handled about 20 per cent each. Indiana. Ohio. Nebraska and even sun-sr-orclied Kansas and other scattering neighborhoods have taken about four per cent each. Packers at St. Louis. Cleveland and Detroit also have pa tronized the local market. I.ocal market men say that the man who can hold his cattle this winter and grass feed them next spring will get probably record prices for his stock next year. The hog market is prac tically steady. Commission men say receipts are about the same as usual at this season. Record prices are looked for for the hog market, as the supply of hogs over the country was never so low, according to the commission men. SHE TRIES TO DROWN.

Both were rescued in uncon scious states, but were resuscitated at the city hospital. Glancing over her shoulder as though she were being pursued, the woman rushed down the incline at the levee and plunged int the river before a group of men standing near by realized what had happened. Throwing off only his hat. Jeff Kstes jumped in after her and pulled the woman out by the hair. The child, however, failed to come to the surface with her r.other. Another bystander jumped in where he had seen the two sink and came up witii the body of the little girl. Mrs. Klrich was in too weak condition this morning to give the reason for her act. FOOD BY MAIL. It Is Being Forwarded In Steadily Increasing Quantities. Washington. Aug. 28. Fruits, fresh laid eggs and other farm products are being forwarded by mai! in ever in creasing quantities from the suburban producer to the urban table, according to Postmaster General Burleson. The parcel post system, likewise, is being used increasingly for the transporta tion of manufactured articles and post office department officials today ex pressed their pleasure at the manner in which the public is taking advantage of the innovation. The order increasing the weight of packages that may be sent through the mails, according to the postmaster gen eral, has been endt rsed by people in all sections of the country. Mr. Burleson declared he "'fully appreciated the sentiment in favor of a further exten sion of the service" and intimated that still further elaboration of the system would follow.

"2 That President Huerta in the manner originally indicated by the president of United States of Amer ica give the assurances called for in paragraph 'C of the original instruc tions, a paragraph which says literally, 'The consent of General Huerta to agree not to be a candidate in the com ing election for president of the re public "3 That the remaining propositions contained in your original instruction shall be taken up later but speedily and resolved as circumstances permit and in the spirit of their proposal. "You add further more, Mr. Confiden tial Agent, that the president of the United States of America has author ized you to say that if my government 'acts immediately and favorably on the foregoing suggestions' that same pres ident will express to American bankers and their associates assurances that the government of the United States of America will then look with favor upon the extension of an immediate loan sufficient in amount to meet the temporary requirements of the present Mexican administration. "At the end of your note, Mr. Con fidential Agent, you express the hope of your government that my govern ment will judge It consistent with the best and highest interests of Mexico, immediately to accept such propositions stating that they are submitted in the same spirit and to the same end as the original proposition but in a more re stricted form to the end that my gov ernment may act within its faculties without the co-operation or aid of any other outside factor. An Aggravated Feature. "It appears at once Mr. Confidential Agent that in this case the proposal of his excellency, Mr. Woodrow Wil son, is not to remove himself an iota from the position originally assumed by him, for notwithstanding the time consumed since the 16th, the date of my reply to the 25th in which you de livered to me your second note which I am here answering, the essence and even the form of his original instruc tions are the same with the aggravat ing feature well qualified by you as 'more restricted.' "For my part it would have been sufficient to answer this note in its totality by reproducing the whole of of it- prevents the constitutional ad interim president of the republic from being a candidate at the forthcoming elections; and if his excellency Mr. Wilson had taken into consideration that paragraph before venturing to im pose upon us the conditions in ques tion and which we may not admit, the present state of affairs between you and ourselves would have been avoid ed, leaving out of the discussion our decorum and the personal pride of the president of the United States wrongly interested in this discussion without foundation." It should be well understood the ad interim constitutional president could not be elected president or vice presi dent of the republic at the forthcom ing elections already called for October because our own laws prohibit him from being a candidate and these laws are the sole arbiters of our destinies, but never- through the imposition, al though friendly and disinterested, of the president of the United States of America or of any other ruler, power ful or weak (this does not matter in the case) who would be equally re spected by us. He Grows Sarcastic. "I beg to inform you, Mr. Confiden tial Agent, that up to the present time at least no president of the Unit ed States of America has spoken of the candidacy of the constitutional ad in terim president at the forthcoming elections. "Neither the solemn declaration of this high functionary nor the most insignificant of his act all of which have been done with a view of obtain ing a complete pacification of the country which is a supreme national aim and which he has decided to bring about in spite of everything have au thorized any one even to suspect that such are his ultimate intentions. j "It is perfectly well known, that 1 there does not exist in the whole coun try a single newspaper, a single club, a single corporation or group of indi viduals who have launched his candi dacy or even discussed it. "On what then is the gratuitous sus picion of the president of the United States of America based, and his de mand, which is absolutely inadmissi ble that in order to comply with the suggestion of the president of the Uni ted States the ad interim president of the Mexican republic should enter into agreement and contract obligations which have never heretofore been im posed upon the ruler of any sovereign nation.

Mr. Arby Tuttle. who was an early settler in this county and now lives in this city, regards this season as the driest and hottest since 1860, but not as bad l-s that year. He says there was no fc-reen thing that year, with the ex ception possibly of some people. He passed through Kansas that year as the wagonmaster with a government wagon train en route to Fort Unioi. The scarcity of water, lack of vegeta tion, cracks in the earth, atmosphere: in fact, it was much the worst in 1860.

"I will begin by taking notice of a highly significant fact. Between the night of the 14th when I received the sheets containing your instruction not directed to any one and calling the present administration 'the persons who at the present time have author ity or exercise influence in Mexico' and yet. some progress has been made, in that now the constitutional president ad interim (see paragraph No. 2 of the new propositions) is call ed 'President Huerta" and in the whole course of the note the per sonnel of his administration is re ferred to as the 'de facto government' but in as much as this or that quali fication is of no importance, upon the ground that all the representations of your government have not been in itiated except with uorselves which gives up, upon the supposition that we have not been dispossessed of it. a perfect political and moral personal ity to clear up the present divergence, I intentionally limit myself solely to point out the facts. "If your original proposals were not to be admitted, they are now in the most restricted form in which they are reproduced, even more inadmis sible, and one's attention is called to the fact that they are insistent upon, if it be noticed, that which the first proposals had already defined. Value of Sovereignty. "Precisely because we comprehend the immense value which is possessed by the principle of sovereignty which the government of the United States so opportunely invokes in the ques tion of our recognition or non-recognition, precisely for this reason we believe that it would never be propos ed to us that we should forget our own sovereignty by permitting that a foreign government should modify the line of conduct which we have to follow in our public and independent life. "If even once we were to permit the counsels and advice (let us call them thus of the United States of America not only would we as I say above forego our sovereignty but we would as well compromise for an in definite future our destinies as a sov ereignty and all the future- elections for president would be submitted to our present internal conflict with more or less interest. "And although the president of the United States of America should take altogether different stand from the uni versal viewpoint which considers differ ently an administration under the con ditions in which our own is at present, the best proof of my assertion is the unconditional recognition of the fore most powers of the world, among which the United States of America occupies such a prominent and legitimately con quered rank he will have to cease to call us de facto government and will give us the title of ad interim consti tutional government, which is the only one to which we are rightly entitled. No Reply to Make. "Permit me, Mr. Confidential Agent, not to reply for the time being to the offer in which the government of the United States insinuates that it will recommend to American bankers the immediate extension of a loan which will permit us. among other things, to cover the innumerable urgent expenses required by the progressive pacification of the country; for in the terms in which it is couched it appears to be an attractive antecedent proposal to the end, that moved by petty interests we should renounce a right which Incon trovertibly upholds us at a period when the dignity of the nation is at stake. "I believe that there are not loans enough to Induce those charged by the law to maintain that dignity to permit it to be lessened. "On the other hand I have seen with great pleasure that the president of the Cnited States of America proposes for a later date and according to what the cir cumstances permit the solution which wa3 marked with me letter 'A' in the original instruction and in the note to which this is a reply with) the number 3'; for this reveals that we are really in the way of arriving at an arrangement equally dig nified for both sides.

Give us eight Gears at the head of the clubs on the loop and it would toe a baseball paradise. Pitcher Joe Benz. of the White Sox. is worried about a report that the Chicago club has asked for waivers on him. The matter of waivers being a state secret in the American League, with a fine as the penalty for violating it, there is no official way in which to verify or refute Benz's occasion for worry except the well known fact that the asking of waivers often is for the purpose of finding out how a player is regarded by the other seven teams. with a view to a possible trade, but without any idea of discarding said player to the minors. Tv Cobb is said to have serious trouble with one of his knees. Should he lose a leg and one eye, it's a good bet that the Georgian won't bat more than .390 for the ext ten years. A Louisville correspondent writes under date of August 13: "Mrs. Jas. Murray, wife of the American Asso ciation umpire, was under the care of a physician as the result of nervous ness caused by witnessing an attack on her husband by infuriated base ball fans. During the game between Milwaukee and Louisville yesterday, Umpire Murray gave Milwaukee the benefit of a close decision. Fans from the bleachers and grandstand rushed on the field. Pitcher Jack Powell caught an angry man who was about to hurl a heavy hammer at the umpire. A detail of police escorted Murray from the grounds. Mrs. Mur ray, sitting in a lower box. near the scene of the attack, fainted and was carried to an automobile." The average ball player never goes into a game that he does not try his best. His efforts may fail, as do those In other walks of life, hut there are few instances on record where a play er has not given his team his best efforts. More cannot be expected. aBll clubs "do not carry players that are not trying, but it is only human for them to err on occasions, and such players are benefited more by encour agement than by heaping criticism upon them. Were errors eliminated from the game it would not be any thing like the game it is. It is errors which add to the game's uncertainty, and it is because it is hard to tell what may happen in a struggle that holds the public interest. Washington Star. Shortstop Russell Blackburn, now with Milwaukee, is to be given anoth er trial by the Chicago club as soon as the American Association season ends.

Now comes a report from the west that the Santa Fe is considering a break in a Southern Pacific contract which will result in the construction of a new I line and a further hold in southern California. j Articles of incorporation have been filed for the Los Angeles San Joaquin Valley Railroad company, organized to construct and operate a railroad i line from Los Angeles to the town of i Olig. just north of McKittrick, by way of the Tejon Pass route. It is said that the neve road is a project of the Santa Fe to give it a direct line over its own trackage to j Bakersfield. It was recently stated that the Santa Fe, which now runs from Loa Angeles to Bakersfield by way of San Bernardina, Barstow and Mojave and over the Tehachapi pass on Southern Pacific trackage as far as Bakersfield, was seeking a shorter lineP orf its own into the San Joaquin valley, and a release from its joint agreement with the Southern Pacific. The new- line projected would provide such a road, would give the Santa Fe a direct out let of its own from southern Califor nia into the San Joaquin and cut its present mileage to the oil fields down nearly 200 miles. The route of the Los Angeles and San Joaquin Valley railroad, as de scribed in the articles of incorpora tion, is from Los Angeles north by way of Glendale, Xewhall, the east ern side of Santa Clara valley, Cas- tias canyon, Tejon canyon.

Topeka railway officials are inter ested in the fact that one of the first subjects to engage the attention of Howard Elliott, the newly elected president of the New York, Xew Haven Hartford, when he as sumes charge September 1, will be the recent order of the management giving the engineers and firemen thirty days' notice of its intention to abolish the seniority rule of advancement and the division of engineers' mto- six grades. which is likely to have a far reaching effect in railroad circles, some inti mation of the possibility of this sort of action was given while negotiations between the conductors and trainmen and the eastern roads were in progress. At that time the railroads contended hev would insist on the arbitration of their grievances as well as those of the men. These counter demands. however, were withdrawn in the in- erest of peace when it was pointed by the brotherhoods that they had not been given thirty days' notice. But the question was not dropped, and the action of the Xew Haven, it is thought, foreshadows a general movement among the individual roads towards the abolition of many working agree ments made with the unions over a period of years, which are very obnox ious to the operating officials and In terfere with proper discipline and ef ficiency. The prospect of the railroads at last taking the initiative after many ears of aggression by the unions is distinctly pleasing to the officials and alarming to the labor leaders. The action of the Xew Haven is con- idered to mark at once the striking f a new keynote in the labor situation nd the application of the first test as to the ability of a road to nullify exist- ng agreements. It will be followed oubtless by similar action on tne part of other roads throughout the country. MAY CANCEL STATE PASSES,, reat Northern and Northern Pacific's Slap at Montana Officials. According to passenger traffic offi cials it is likely that the order issued by the Great Xorthern and Xorthern Pacific railways canceling all passes is sued to officials of the state or Mon tana and their deputies will be followed by similar action in other states. The rule adopted by the Great Xorthern and Xorthern Pacific companies, it is said, was the result of the decision of the interstate commerce commission in the case involving the general distribu- I tion of passes among public officials in Colorado. The rail carriers were given to understand at the time that the ap plication to advance rates would be isallowed, whenever it appeared that the revenue was being wasted by a widespread issuance of free transpor tation. Railroad officials pointed out that or ders were issued some time ago provid ing for a curtailment in the amount of free transportation, but there is no law in Illinois prohibiting the giving of passes to state officials by railway companies.

Gross earnings of United States rail roads are still slightly iri excess of those a year ago. the total so far re ceived for the first two weeks of Aug ust amounting 'o $13,358,234. a gain of 1.8 per cent, as compared with the earnings for the same roads for the correspondins period last year. This total, however, is well above that of two years ago. as practically the same roads show a gain over the two weeks of 1911 of 9 per cent. The majority of the roads in the west and southw-est continue to report larger earnings than last year, although -the increases are not so large, as a rule, as a short time ago. and several systems report more or less a falling off, among them the Missouri Pacific, the St. Louis South western and the International and great Xorthern.
