The German Government is doing nothing In Shantung outside of fulfilling her (reaty agreement with China, which fact has néen communi- cated to both the Washington and Tokio Governments. - The Forelgn Office regards these reports ns spread to mislead the world concerning Germany's aims and acts. | TOKIO, May 16.—It is semi-officially an- nounced that the Government has re- ceived confiicting reports relating to the alleged selzure of Haichou. One is to the effect that the Germans have occupied the place, where they raised and saluted | the flag. The other is that the Germans | are merely engaged in surveying.

The rumor possibly originated from the presence of a German gunboat in the harbor on a surveying expedition. . | RUSSIA TO TEND ANOTHER FLEET. Division of Warships Almost Ready to Start for the Far BEast. | ST. PETERSBURG, May 16.—The naval game in the Far East is watched with intense interest here, but the Admiralty | is able to throw little light on the situa- | tion. It gives no confirmation of the To- | kio report that Admiral Rojestvensky re- turned to Honkohe Bay. The Russian ad- miral is keeping his movements and | plans ssecret, not communicating even | with the home authorities. The many wild reports emanating from Tokio are attributed to the agitated state | of mind of the Japanese over the coming | battle. The story that satlors from the crews of the interned Russian ships at Shanghai are being sent to complete the complement of Rojestvensky's fleet is | nonsense, as is the previous story that a | |large number of mercenaries were shipped | at Madagascar. X ¥ The admiralty considers there is no harm now in divulging the fact that Ro- jestvensky's ships are overmanned, in- stead of undermanned. When they left Libau there was still hope that Chilean and Argentina warships could be put- | chased and portions of the crews de- | signed for them were carried on board the Russian fleet. Many naval men incline to the opinion that Rojestvensky will pass out of the China Sea into the Pacific through the Ballingtang channel, north of the island of Luzon, Philippine Islands, and give Formosa a wide berth, instead of sailing through the 200-mile stretch of the Straits of Formosa, in which the Russians might | be subject to a torpedo attack. Another division of reinforcements for Rojestvensky is almost ready at Kron- stadt and will be sent out under the command of Rear Admiral Parenago. It | will consist of two fine new battleships, the 8lava and the Emperor Alexander I two .cruisers, a torpedo cruiser, a gu boat, a transport and several minor units. | The division is now engaged in speed | trials and maneuvering off Kronstadt. [The appearance of this reserve division | in the Far East in the course of the sum- [ mer. should-the hostile fleets suffer equal- 1y in the coming battle, is counted upon ' to give Russia the necedsary decisive | preponderance on the sea. The posses- | sion of, this division, naval men believe, | may eventually prove Russia’s salvation. P> R R, CONCESSIONS TO THE JEWS. | Time Limit of Residence in Large | Citles to Be Removed. ‘ BT.

Three hundred members were in attendance, The selection of the next place of meet- ing seems to lie between San Francisco and New York. If is said an effort will be made to carry the 1996 convention to the latter city and make it the permanent meeting place of the assoclation. The first thing on the regular pro- gramme was the annual address of Pres- ident D. M. Parry of Indianapolis. Parry maintained that the power of organized labor had weakened in the past year. Continuing, he said in part: While the enlargement of the stope and power of government by the purchase and management of certain enterprises has found considerable support among the people, yet I believe the sentiment favorable to soclalistic measures involving the confiscation of profits and the limitation of private management of capital is the more widespread and dangerous. Without making special reference to the aim of the avawed socialist, we have organized labor and its sympathizers supporting the idea that organizations of men may dictate to a large extent the management of enterprises which they do not own, determining the rate of wages and fixing the hours of émployment. Another {llustration of this kind of socialistic sentiment is manifested in the present agita- tion to have the Government fix raflroad rates. The attenipt is made to make it appear that the "rallroad rates are 5o high that the shippers the general public cannot longer stand the extortion, = but must have relief from Congress. Now, the simple incontrovertible fact is that the railroad rates in this country are far cheaper than anywhere else in the world. These rates in general are one-third lower than those of Great Britain and France, and one-half lower than those of Germany, where the raflroads are owned and operated by the Government An examination of rates in the past also shows there has been an almost continuous tendency downward. In 1870 the rates were three times what they are now. To my mind there are some features in the present tariff situation that open to serious Question the wisdom of the “‘stand pat” policy. The forelgn demand for our agricultural pro- ducts appears to be declining. and the expor- tation of manufactured commodities is not nearly so great as it should be. How in the face “of unfavorable forelgn tariffs we can materfally develop the market abroad is dif- ficult to see, unless through the adoption of a more llberal tariff policy on our own part we secure compensating concessions in the tarift schedule of those countries whose mar- kets we seek. Reciprocity would be a wiser course than tariff revision. I do not think the situation calls for radical treatment, but rather for the adoption of a conservative policy looking more to the opening up than to the bottling up of our commerce. Ludwig Nissen of New York spoke on the Governmental relations of public fran- chises. The address was largely devoted to a discussion of the “‘un-Americanism of Government ownership ¢f public utili- ties.”” He said in part: The present trend of public opinion in the effort to chezk the evlis of control by monopoly is toward the other extreme, municipal or State ownership. The recognition of that prin- cliple would mean State €octalism! The gross {Bikticr of the pyblic eryree comorations is tinquestionably thé cause ror the now geéneral demand by the unthinking public for a syst of municipal or State ownership of all pubMc utilities. If these principles should ever be put into general practice in this ccuntry the result would be the destruction of our liberty and our progress. We would go from wealth to poverty, from progress to lethargy and from liberty to_slavery because we would lfve in a state of soclalism which aims at equality with the lowest Instead of teaching to aspire to the highest. You would crush individuality. TRAINS CRASH 10 HARM DO Special Dispatch to The Call PITTSBURG, May 16.—In the presence of 300 delegates to the International Rail- way Congress, George Westinghous€ to- day showed how easy it was to wreck a train without causing any damage. The collision” which Westinghouse arranged for the entertainment of the visitors took place on the interworks railroad, which is owned by the Westinghouse interests. A train was made up of fifty steel cars, which had just been received from the shops. It was then distributed into three sections. Two of these sections were al- lowed to remain stationary on the track, with a space of about fifty yards between them. The third section, with an ordin- ary engine attached, was then drawn away a distance of two miles. The engine driver pulled open the throt- tle and the third section of the train dashed down the track at a speed of forty miles an hour. There was a crash as the rear of the moving train dashed into the cars ‘which were standing on the tracks; but, instead of the cars piling up on the tracks in a twistéd mass, there was just a slight quiver and then they settled down on the tracks again, at the same time all three of the sections coupling together automatically. The cars and engine were equipped with a friction draft gear which, it is said, will absolutely prevent wrecks of this kind. After the first test, Westinghouse had attached to a train a single phase elec- tric locomotive and the same experiment was gone through with. This is the first time that an electric locomotive had ever drawn such a large rumber of cars. The visitors were astonished at the success of the experiments. —— e BARKENTINE CHEHALIS NOT LOST, AS OWNERS FEARED and Venesl Five Weeks Overdue From the Philippines Drops Her Anchor in Grays Harbor.

FRUIT M N 0F MAMOUR —_— President of the Car Lines Company Admits ;: That It Has Exclusive Con- ~tracts With Railroads FA ATl MOXNOPOLY OF TRAFFIC IN WEST AND SOUTH Small Shippers Must Aceept Whatever Transportation Tarifis the Trust May Eleet to Put Into Force WASHINGTON, May 16.—Before the Senate committee on Interstate Com- merce which is investigating railroad rates President George R. Robbins, of the Armour Car Lines Company, to-day ad- mitted that the company had twenty or thirty exclusive contracts with raiiroads for fruit transportation business, and acknowledged a monopoly of that traffic in parts of the West and South. ‘Wherever these exclusive contracts applied, he admitted, producers and shippers of fruit had to accept the rates lald down by the Armours. He claimed that his company was a private one and therefore not subject to the interstate commerce laws. These exclusive contracts with railroads, Rod- bins said, were generally private con- tracts, though they were exhibited when requested, He asserted that the Armours did not get any advantages over other shippers in these cars. Replying to Chair- man Elkins, the witness added that His company did not want to be subjected to the Interstatg commerce laws. 3 “It \seems,” interjected Elkins, “that you want all the advantages and none of the responsibilities of common carriers.” According to the witnesses, the Ar- mours have 200 articles known as packing house products which are transported in Armour cars. “You control the transportation of these products in the private cars?’ asked Sen- ator Kean. “Not control: but the Armours ship their products in these cars.” Robbins admitted that on roads on which they had exclusive contracts, like the Pere Marquette line, the roads could not engage in the shipment of products covered in the contract, in other cars. Those who complained on this matter, he added, were mostly receivers'and commis- sion ‘men, and not the producers and shippers. Senator Foraker examined Robbins as to the cost of icing & car from Michi- gan to Boston, and the latter figured that it would cost $50 per car. “Isn’'t it a matter of fact,” asked the Senator, “‘that ice costs only about $25 per car?’ - Robbins would not admit that this was true. The Pere Marquette line, he sug- gested, had reduced rates from $250 to $ per car and the Armour line had made "a like. reduction. 2 Senator Dolliver asked Robbins regard- ing the business of the Armour car lines and its earnings. Robbins insisted that the company wsa a private one and ought not to be compelled to expose its books or earn- ings any more than any other private company. “Unless we should consider that you are a public carrier the same as a rail- road company,” remarked Senator Dolli- ver. Robbins denied that the Armours were interexted in any of the fruit companies in California or that the Ar- mours had n monopoly for the trans- portation of Californin fruits, acknowl- edging, however, that his company had a monopoly of the fruit transportation in the Peré Marquette region and in Georgia and Florida. The Armours, he admitted, had ex- clusive conmtracts with all the South Atlantie Coast rallways, exclusive con- tracts in East Tennessee in certain roads in Missouri, Arkansas and on the Southern Pacific rord. The Santa Fe was a competing line in the fruit busi- ness in California. Fruit producers and shippers on these exclusive lines had to nccept the rates of the Armour Com- pany, but Robbins said they satisfied 80 per cent of the shippers. Senator Clapp asked a number of ques- tions as to the position of Robbins in acknowledging an absolute monopoly and yet withholding information as to the business and claiming immunity from the Interstate Commerce Commission laws. Robbins maintained that his position was Justified. —— e BOARDS OF HEALTH TAKRE STAND FOR VACCINATION Advocate Intimate and Friendly Sani- tary Relations With Neighbors by the United States. ‘WASHINGTON, May 16.—In his an- nual address to-day Dr. John S.

Numerous revolutionary so- cieties were broken up by General Sok- lavosky and manife®ations were pot permitted under his administration, and the last acts of the Governor General were the dispersal of the Anti-Govern- | mental Club and the suppression of the | Mayday demonstrations with the ar- rests of many armed demonstrators.

Yesterday, after sev- eral delays had been obtained in the case, the attorney for the petitioner ap- peared in court and infortied the Judge that thé case would not have to be tried by the jury that had been summoned to hear the evidence next Monday, as the worst fears of the children had been realized. g The children learned yesterday morning that their father had gone to San Jose, from where report had reached them that he had married for the fourth time. | Later in the day, however, they learned | to their sorrow that a différent fate had | awaited thelr father in the Garden City. | In the morning he had dropped dead, and | while the attorney for the children was | appearing in court in this city the fa- ther's remains were being removed to San Jose's Morgue for an autopsy.

It is said that Corr had come here to be married to a Mrs. Jones of San Francisco. Two weeks ago he obtained a license in San Francisco to wed the Mrs. Jones; but for some reason the wedding was post- poned. An inquest to-night showed that death resulted from a rupture of a blood vessel in his brain. ———————— TWO ADVENTURERS ARE LOST IN THE WILDS OF ALASKA Government to Make Search for Per< sons Sent Out to Locate = Mail Route.
