THE FREIGHT BUSINESS LARGE Northern Pacific Has Not Cars Enough to Handle It. TACOMA, June 2.—The Northern Pacific railway is short of cars. In eptte of the fact that wheat {# still tied up in warehouses and the usual immense business of moving it is totally lacking, the roed can hardly handle its regular traffic, so great is the gain over previous years. Five hundred new fiat cars are on the way West now and should have ar- fived here by June i. These are meeded the worst, for the stimulus in extension and repairing bas taken no Jess than 1600 flat cars out of the freight service this winter.

TACOMA, June 2.—A meeting of local newspaper workers was held in | the chamber of commerce roome yes terday afternoon to organise to re ceive the members of the Nutional | P@ttorial association who propose t¢ | visit Tacomm in July. A temporary organization, with Frank Cole as chairman and T. J. Bell as secretary was affected. An executive commit tee of five was appointee! to have charge of the arrangements for the _|feception of the visitors and to call another meeting for permanent or- gantzation. LUMBER AND An Important Meeting to be Held This Month. TACOMA, June 2—A meeting of state lumberman and coal mine owners and dealers ts to be held next week to confer with Senator Charter K. Fairbanks, Senator Addison G Foster and the representatives and senators from the Past who will be here at that time, regarding coal and lumber turiffe, Senator Fairbanks arrives at Tacoma on June 7, and leaves the Sound for Alaska between June Wand 12 The meeting will be | held between those dates. It Is expected Senator Fairbanks will be accompanied by Representa. tive Payne, of New York, Republic- an floor leader in the house and chairman of the ways and means committee, and who ie @ candidate for speaker, General Kasson, of the State department, may also accom. pany Senator Fairbanks. If these Prominent leaders are in attendance at the meeting, it will be the most important gathering ever held by the lumbermen of the state, and will have & most influent™i bearing on the ac- tion of congress and the high joint commiasion. Senator Fairbanks is a member of the high joint commission, a» are Representative Payne and Gen. Kas- son. The Indiana senator also ex- erts a powerful influence on the formation of the tariff schedules in the senate. The meeting (9 to discuss the plan “l|advanced by Senator Foster after *lcommultation on the matter with a number of Fastern congressmen and senators, Senator Foster in his plan probably represents the major- ity of the lumbermen and coal men of the state, and It ts believed those [in the Dusiness will strongly urge his | suggestion. At the time he returned from the East, Senator Foster advocated the plan of making « 2 per cent. reduc- tion in the lumber tartff and incor porating this in the treaty with Can- ada. Incorporated tn the treaty, it wouk! remain permanent. and the = would have no cause to fear a change in the schedules. ‘The present tariff charge ts $2, and a ® per cent. reduction would bring t down to $1.60. Senator Foster be- Meve the 4 cents of protective tarift duty should be sacrificed for the sake of obteining @ permanent tariff. Another return for the 20 per cent. concession was asked by Senator Foster. He announced he was pre- pared to Insist that coal should fo into the treaty on the present tariff! rate. By linking the two projects together, two of the most important industries of Washington sought to be protected. In some sections of the East there is 2 movement afoot to have the tariff on coal removed. A number of influential Eastern men are interest- ed tn Canadian coal fields and other sections of the country desiring to import Canadian coal are working for a repeal of the coal tariff. It is believed ‘by the proposed pian the tariff can be adjusted. Investigating Hatchery TACOMA, June 2. — State Fish Commiasioner A. C.

Al moment later her little boy came running out and cried that the In dian bad returned to the house and stolen the gun. j At that instant the Seminole ap-| peared at the kitchen door. With her babe In her arms the woman made a wild effort to get at the butldor which was tied In the room, to ret) him loose, The Indian struck her over the head with the gun, killing | her instantly. | Her little children huddled about her body, shrieking with terror Another Indian, who had been In tiding, sneaked In. The bulldow which had broken its rope, dashed at| the Seminoles, and was knocked) dead by a blow. | ‘The Indians then submitted the body of the woman to unspeakable indignities, and taking the infant, which was only a few months old. threw It into the house, infilcting In Juries from which it died a few days later, ‘The Indians then left the other lit tle children to whatever fate might befall them. The night wae cold, and) they were half frozen when their| father returned in the morning. He found the body of his wife in the) yard, where it had been partially) devoured by hogs. The frenzied husband took the children to the house of the nearest neighbor and then started to organ ize @ party to avenge the awful) crime, The settlers raliied under him and in a short time several Indians were | } the farm on which Latrd lived, and Paimer Sampson, another Seminole. | Sampeon, after being tortured by hin captors, confessed, gaying he was drunk when the crimes were corm mitted and that MeGeisey aided him and shared in all of the atrocities The Indians were caught within a fow miles of the Oklahoma line.
