New York, « ™ = J—The arrival of the 1,004 unmarried women in the steerage of the White Star liner Bal- tic from Liverpool had been anticl pated by cable dispatches when the steamer salled, but considerable inter- est Was manifested when the big fem- fnine contingent reached here. Not a little banter also attended its arrival. H. B. Palmer, purser of the Baltic, said the coincidence of such a large number of single women booking pas- sage on the Baltic for one trip caused attention in Loudon. Many of the young women are coming here to seek employment in tactories and in homes About 45 per cent are girls who have lived here before, but who returned to Europe for the summer. Many of these brought relatlves with them to fill places as servauts, arrangements for which had been made in advance. About one-half of the newcomers will remain in and near New York city, the others having tickets for towns In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and North Dakota.

FAIRBANKS TURNED DOWN Cocktail Episode Comes Up at Meth- odist Convention, Columbus, O., _ “9,—It has just developed that Vice President Fair- banks was not a candidate for dele- gate to the Methodist conference, but that his name had been urged by friends who had been assured that the election would be by acclamation. 1n- stead a bitter contest developed dur- ing which the vice president’s name was withdrawn. The temperance laymen, many of them long associated with Mr. Fair- banks in the church, refused to con- done what they regard as an offense agalnst temperance and the distin- guished candidate went down because of having served cocktails and three kinds of wine at the dinner given to President Roosevelt on Memorial day at the Fairbanks home. Up to the meeting of the laymen’s convention it was supposed that Mr. Fairbanks had been very busy with delegates during the conference and, so far as surface indications showed, there seemed to be a general acqui- escence In the desire to select him as one of the quadrennial delegates.

Bell of California, the natifonal head of the order, speaking of racial condi- tions on the Pacific slope, said: “We on the Pacific coast, when we look upon the ingress of thé Oriental —the Chinese and the Japanese— think Wwe ‘discover a war cloud. We will require common decency, the de- cency required by the law. We will not tolerate men Who prey upon weak- er men, upon the weaker sex, to tri- umph over us. We have a race in the great West, a racs that is full of American blood. We do not propose to settle down with any Asiatics, Chi- nese or Japanese. Here you live in peace with Europe. There we look to ‘We don't know how to interpret what is coming over the Pa- - oiffe; © Yoo don’t kmow: Do ngt settle down easy, my brother Eagles, and say that we should not heed. “The middle classes will evidently have to fight this battle, as they have In the past.” BY REFERENDUM VOTE.

SIX INDICTMENTS FOUND Pacific Mail Steamship Company and Southern Pacific Rallroad Company Charged With Making Rates Below the Published Tariff, San Francisco, . \l—According to a report in circulation here six in- dictments have been found by the fed- eral grand jury against the Pacific Mail Steamship company and the Southern Pacitic cowpany. In these indictments the names of Edward H. Harriman, John C. Stubbs and R. P. Schwerin, it Is understood, are men- tioned. The indictments, it is sald, embrace 140 counts and relate par- ticularly to violations of the law on shipments from the Orient through the port of San Francisco to Chicago. The particular instances in which the law is sald to have been violated re- late to shipments of matting from Kobe to Chicago, these shipments be- Ing very heavy and numerous during a number of months of the year. A special agent of the interstate commerce commission has been on the Pacific coast for several months and also in Japan investigating these shipments and how the Pacific Mail and Southern Pacific have been mak- ing rates lower than the published tariff on them at various times. It is the making of a lower rate than the published tariff on which the indict- ments have been based. Southern Pacific officlals are said to have admitted that prior to the en- forcement of the new rate law they had not been strictly living up to the three-day notice provision of the old law because of the impossibility of doing so and retaining their share of Oriental shipments to this country in competition with foreign lines. They insisted, however, that since the new law has gone into effect they have not made any lower rate than the pub- lished one. This, it is claimed, 18 the first time in the history of trans- pacific traffic through this port that a federal grand jury has ever made in- dictments for violations of the inter- state law.

What Were these loans?” asked Mr. Kellogg. ““They represented funds on deposit with the Natlonal Transit company,” replied Mr. Chesebro. “You carried these loans as an as- set?” “Yes, sir.” “Why did you deposit these funds with the National Transit company?” “We used the National Transit com- pany 8s a bank and we could call for the funds whenever we wanted them,” replied Mr. Chesebro. TO ANNUL THEIR CHARTERS Anothtr Ohio Suit Against Standard Qil Concerns.

Sir Thomas expects to be present and will explain what he is anxious to do in order to bring about another series of races for the cup, namely, build a ninety-footer under the new American rule. Sir Thomas is so desirous of arrang- ing for another contest that he said to the correspondent of the Associated Press that he really believed after all he would challenge under the old rules if he could get a designer of note to plan a boat for him. He was afraid, however, that it' was impossible to get any man whose boat would have any chance of winning to do the work, as all those he had spoken to took the same view of the matter as William Fife, who says it is useless to at- tempt to recapture the cup with a freak boat which would have to be sailed across the Atlantic and who under no circumstances will under- take to design such a yacht.
