WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—Two decisions | affecting the rates on cotton plece goods which were made the subject of com- | plaints by George J. Kinael, one against the Boston and Albany Railroad and other roads formi through lines from Eastern points to Denver, and the other against .1e New York, New Haven and Hartford Rallroad Company and others, were announced by the Interstate Com- merce Commission to-day. mission rules that the fact that a car- load rating has been established on cot- ton plece goods from the East to Pacific Coast points because of water competi- tion, and the fact that duck and denims have been given carload rates to Salt ufacturing industries at those points while elsewhere throughout the country the rate on cotton plece goods is the same for any quantity, does not indicate that the action of the carriers in denying a carload rating on tickings, drills, and sheetings to Denver is unlawful. As regards the rate per 100 pounds on cotton plece goods, the commission de- cides that through rates to Denver to be reasonable should not exceed $1 50 per 100 pounds. It is stated that the same ruling ap- plies to the New York, New Haven and that they deny their participation in the shipment involved in that case, e AUTO TURNS TURTLE, torists in the City of Sacramento. ’ to-day P.

Labor discussions are not all settled, but there is little interruption on thi account. Railway earnings thus far available for January show-an increase of 13 per cent over last year's, while foreign commerce at this port for the last week exhibits a gain of $1411,709 in exports and a loss of $2,383,578 in imports, as compared with the movement in the corresponding week of 1905. In the hide market packer natives were freely offered at a decline of about half a cent. Fallures this week numbered 334 in the United States against 305 last year, and %0 in Canada against 48 a year ago. Bradstreet’s to-morrow will say: Barring a touch of cold weather in the ‘West the season still retains its previous appearance of a mild, open winter, with natural effects upon retail trade, dndus- trial operations in general and prices of many commodities, which tend downward. Perhaps the most notable feature at pres- ent is the continued activity in building, which has practically gone on without & break, and which is making new records’ in prices of lumber and in demand for other materials.

He had been lingering near a large jEwelry utor\:lor several hours. When taken to the Uen- tral Station he made the following con- fession: . “I simply was down and out, and I had hunted for work without success. Then I read in the papers of the easy way in which hold-up men had smashed jewelry store windows and got away with the goods and I decided that I would turn robber.” When the police went to Garland's rooms tq search them they found several unfinshed stories, which evidently he was preparing for a magazine. A college di- ploma was also found in the room. The arrest of Garland was the first result of the work of a squ: of detectives de- tailed to guard the jewelry stores of the city, following the many recent robberies, Windows of two stores were smashed yesterday by men who escaped with jew- elry valued at $1000. CALIFORNIANS CALL AGAIN UPON SHAW May Soon Reach Agreement on the Wine Tax Con- troversy. Special Dispaich to The Cail. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Senators Per- kins and Flint and Representative Need- ham and Percy T. Morgan of the Califor- nia Wine Association, had another con- ference with Secretary Shaw and Com- missioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes to- day regarding the proposed tax on brandy used in fortifylng sweet wine, against Wwhich the California delegation protests. The producers of wine are said not to object to meeting the expense of the in- spection of their distilleries, but are not willing to pay this in the form of a tax. It was suggested that an assessment of 1 to 2 per cent on the bond given by the distillers be made for the purpose of raising the sum required for the expense of inspection. This was favorably re- celved by Secretary Shaw and Commis- sioner Yerkes, who will look into the matter and report their conclusions later. Both otficlals are anxious to meet the wishes of the Californians if possible, and it seems likely that legislation may be agreed upon soon that will be satisfac- tory to all concerned.

McCormick, Tacoma, with for- mer Governor David R. Francis of Mis- souri; T. B. Wilker, Minneapolis; David arr Jordan of Stanford University; Irv- ig Howbert, Colorado Springs, and Na- than C. Schaeffer, president of the Na- tional Educational Assoclation, Harris- burg, Pa. The gentlemen named com- prise the executive committes chosen by the ‘“‘See America First” conference hers to-day. Fisher Harris of the Salt Lake Commercial Club, was named as perma- nent secretary. Temporary he@dquarters will be maintained in Salt Lake until the executive committee shall select a per- manent location. Every delegate was pledged to arrange, on his return home, a public meeting in furtherance of the plans of the conference. A banquet was served to-night at the Commercial Club. Ways and means to provide flnancial sup- port for the movement will be considered at an executive session to be held to- morrow morning. At the session to-day Delegate Booth of Boise, Idaho, offered a resolution that it should be the sense of the conference that the rallroad should give free side trips to points of Interest to holders of through tickets. This aroused the criticism of the raflroad men and was finally withdrawn. A lecture on scenic America by Dr. Roland D. Grant was an entertaining feature of the afternoon. By unanimous vote the conference adopted a resolution presented by Clar- ence E. Edwards of the California Pro- motion Committee, indorsing the Pacific States Alliance idea, as it Is now being worked out by the California Promotion Committee, and commending the enter- prise of the Californians. MILITARY ENFORCES GOVERNOR’S ORDER State Officials at War Over the Custody of a Young Girl. DENVER, Jan. 26.—The military arm of the State government was pressed into service to-day to enforce an order of the executive department. Acting Governor Parks issued a pardon releasing Eva May Rockefeller, an ll-year-old girl. from the State Home for Dependent Children at the request of the parents. The board of control of the institution denled the right of the Acting Governor to pardon {nmates of the home and re- fused to obey the order to give the child into the hands of her parents. Thereupon Acting Governow Parks to-day directed Adjutant General Bulkley Wells to use all meang to enforce the order of the pardon. Detailing Colonel Kelly of the adjutant general's office to accompany him, General Wells drove to the home in a carriage and demanded the child in the name of the State and was given possession of the little one. The gen- eral then returned to the Capitol and pre- sented the girl to the Acting Governor, who immediately turned her over to the parents. The Rockefellers boarded the first train east, on their way to Salina, Kan. The members of the board of control of the Home for Dependent Children are greatly incensed at the action of Acting Governor Parks and declare they will bring some court proceedings to test the point raised in the controversy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26. — Hu- morist George Ade 1s to be boomed for Congress by his admirers in the Tenth District. Ade’'s home is at Kentland, although he does not spend much time there, except to come down from Chi- cago occasionally to stock up his farms.

The fact that Ade is in Europe will not Interfere with his canyass if he consents to run, for his friends will see that his fences are kept up.
