foithe first time In their history the rail
roads have made a direct proposition to
establish freight sones, with a tentative
agreement to deliver freight In New York
from each of these lone within a given
time say ten days from Buffalo, twenty
from Chicago and thirty from Minneapolis.
A member of the Produce exchange com

for Crime.
NEW TORK.x Aug. 1 An attempt to as
sault a lone woman today on a west side
street adds another rase to the long Hat of
attacks made on women and children In
the streets of New Tork. Despite the vigi
lance of the police, who have been doing
double duty to prevent a further spread
of the crime wave, the attack would have'
been successful had It not been for the
desperate struggle of Adelaldo Wlldrer, a
trained nurse, who fought her assailant
with a hat pin and finally routed him.
Miss Wildrer's screams brought the police,
pursued the man to Central park, where
he was brought to bay with a fusillade of
bullets from the revolvers of the officers.
The man said he was Pletro Daurlo, an
Italian peddler.
Miss Wlldrer was walking home early to
day after attending a patient. Near Man
hattan avenue and One Hundrdth and
Sixth street an Italian accosted her. When
she repulsed him the Italian knocked her
down with his flat and clutching her throat
with his hand dragged her to the stoop of
an apartment house. Miss Wlldrer man
aged to withdraw a hat pin from her hat
and Jabbing her assailant caused htm to
loosen his hold on her throat. Miss Wlld
rer screamed for help and the Italian fled.
Policemen heard her cries and gave chaae.
The Italian ran to Central park and the
policemen fired a volly of shots at the
fleeing man, who leaped the park wall and
hid under a clump of bushes. He whs
dragged out by the police and Identified by
Miss Wlldrer, who, despite the fact that
she had been half strangled and beaten
badly about the face, had given chase to
her assailant with the police. Daurlo de
clared that he was Innocent.

EIGHT HOURS TO UNTIE KNOT
Strange Divorce Ceremony Finally
Separates Sir. and Mrs.
'Wool f Zacharla.
DES MOINES, la., Aug. 6.-(Speela1.)
By a ceremony that extended through
eight hours, Mr. and Mrs. Woolf Zach
aria were Sunday ecclesiastically divorced
by Rabbi li. Zeltzig, says a Des Moines
newspaper.' It was the first Jewish church
ulvorce that has been consummated In
jeg Moines for many years and was wlt-
ni.gge(i by some thirty people.
Mrs. Zacharla secured a legal divorce
some weeks ago In the district court of
rpolk county. Such divorces, however, are
not recognized by the church, and It was
necessary to appeal to the rabbi for a
church separation.
After tho custom of, the church the de
cree of divorce was translated Into the
Hebrew script. It required twelve lines,
neatly printed with a goose quill pen. This
required four hours. The remainder of
the time was consumed by the ceremony.
; The decree was signed by the four old
I Chicago vested with the power to grant
church divorces. After the decree was
translated the ceremony was performed.
One of the Interesting phases of the
ceremony was the breaking of the mar
riage vows. Mrs. Zacharla stoo'd with her
hands together and palms extended up
ward. Rabbl Zeltzig pronounced In Hebrew
the church words of separation. Then the
husband laid the decree in the hands of
his spouse. With witnesses she retired to a
separate room and placed the decree In
her bosom. She reappeared with this still
pressed against her heart and announced
cubllcly that she was satisfied with the
' separation and the provisions made for

DEFENDS GENERAL STOESSEL
Japanese Military Attache at Paris
Pays Defender of Tort
Artaar Was Hero.
PARIS, Aug. 1 Captain Tsunola, the
Japanese military attache here, who. while
on the staff of Oeneral Nogl conducted the
negotiations for the surrender of Port
Arthur, In an open letter today defem'.s
General Stoessel, the defender of the fort
ress, on the eve of the lattcr's trial by
court-martial for the surrender to the
Japanese. All the Russians' food was ex
hausted and the 30.000 Russians under arms
were, he said, In no share to tight. Ptoesrcl,
he said, might have held out for a fort
night longer, but the result would have
been an Inevitable massacre, In which It
would have been difficult to distinguish
combatants from non-combatants. Captain
Tsunoda said:
"If others forget It, we remember Port
Arthur cost us 00.000 lives by gun fire alone.
We dug forty kilometres of parallels and
expended 30,uo0,'to rounds of ammunition.
European history chronicles tho glorious
capitulation of Port Arthur, and It Is so
considered In Japan. That Is why the
emperor of Japan ordered General Nogl to
treat General Stoessel with all the honors
due to a gallant soldier His own country
should treat him likewise."

Follette.
Senator Robert M. LaFollette arrived
In Omaha Tuesday morning and was met
at Union station by Mr. Kerr of the
Iiellevue summer assembly. He was the
orator of the day at the assembly.
The first thing that strikes one Is the
fact that Senator LaFollette Is physically
Ing. The little, shapeless brown felt hat
pulled far down over the left eye, the
thick bristling grey hair brushed back
over his ears, the slate colored trousers
and long frock coat of the same color, all
are Unique. Nor Is the distinguished sen
ator a lou-spoken man ordinarily. But
mention railroads or corporations and his
grey ej-es light up with a fierce light; he
closes the right one, fixes his auditor with
the left and launches forth, tapping home
his points with a long forefinger on the
coat lapel of his hearer. In that moment
I-aFollette Is transformed Into a David
to fight , the giant of corporations. And
he makes one feel that he will pick the
most death-dealing pebble from the brook
and send It with the most unerring aim
and the greatest force straight to the
unprotected portion of the, corporation's
anatomy.
Looktna for Rest.
Senator LaFollette said he wanted to
get to some place where he could be
alone nnd rest. A description of the
chnrms of Bellevue made him decide at
once in favor of that place. On the car
he talked to a reporter for The Bee.
"The fine Imposed by Judge Landls on
the Standard Oil company was by no
means too heavy," he said. "No fine could
be too great for such a crime. It Is too
bad that the Imprisonment penalty had
been taken from that law, for the violation
of which the fine of . SM.!40,000 was Im
posed. Of course, this fine pleases the
people, but there can bo no doubt that
by putting on the screws a little harder
here and thera over Its vast properties, the
corporation will make the people pay It.
"Can this be remedied? Certainly. Sup
pose, for example, that the punishment for
a violation of this law were to be made
a fine of one-half the corporation's entire
property foi the first offense and the other
half for the second offense. Do you think
they would risk breaking the laws with
such a penalty threatening them? I don't
believe the principle of vested rights would
stand In the way of the passage of such
an act.
w Half-Way Measure flow.
"This country must either capitulate to
the trusts and corporations or It must con
trol them. I believe It will control them.
Half-way measures won't do much good.
We have only Just driven 1n the thin end
of the wedge. Take the railroads. The
establishment of the Interstate Commerce
commission and the passage of the rate
bill are all very good, but they are by no
means adequate. Seven men cannot at
tend to the regulation of the ratea on the
vast system of railroads to which the peo-
ple of the United States pay annually more I torlum. at which addresses will be dellv
than It costs to run all the governments, ered Dy Governor .Johnson. Mavor 8mlth
national, state and municipal. The admin
istrative department of the commission
must be expanded and enlarged.
"The next thing to do Is to get at the
value of the railroads and a correct state
ment of their gross income and expenses.
With this data to work on the commis
sion can arrive at an Intelligent under
standing of what a fair profit to the rail
roads Is and from that can deduce what
are Just railroad rates. Under the law as
it now stands the commission cannot do
this, it can consider disputes between two
shippers, but It cannot determine what Is
a fair rate. That can only be done when
an Intimate knowledge of the Inside af
fairs of each railway system Is known.
"The rebating evil must also be at
tacked at Its root. Of course there are a
hundred ways of giving rebates to favorod
shippers. For example, damages can be
allowed them on their shipments.
"I am not a pess'mlst. My attitude is
the very opposite. I believe this govern
ment Is big enough and this people
strong enough to put the corporations
which are operating In direct violation of
the laws under their feet."

I believe the American people must be

propaganda. I hire a man who attends
only to supplying printed matter on the
subject to those who desire It."

at least six persons were killed and about
eighteen Injured.

The train on leaving Klttanlng was be
hind time and It Is stated that It was run
ning flt'a very high rate of Fpeed to make
up this lost time. The accident ooeurred
at a sharp cut-re,- which prevented the
engineer from seeing any considerable dis
tance ahead of him. In some manner the
car that had formed part of a freight train
northbound had broken away from this
train, landed some distance from the
northbound track and projected over the
southbound track. The express as It
rounded the etirve crashed Into the car.
The train as It rounded the curve was
slde-swlped by this car which derailed the
engine and wrecked tho four cars. The
train Is usually a popular one, but this
morning It was usually well filled, as It
carried a delegation from the First Metho
dist Episcopal church, Klttannlng. on a
visit of Inspection to a neighboring church.
Another delegation was comprised of the
Armstrong county committee and on the
train, among others were W. G. Helner of

Nees, Klttannlng; Dr. C. M. Allison. Klt
tannlng, Mrs. Henry Chalfant, wife of Rev.
Harry Chalfant, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church, Klttannlng,
ond her young daughter. These were
slightly Injored, but not enough to requlie
medical attention. Nearly all the passen
gers of the train suffered from shock.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 8. (Special.) Tho hear
ing before the Stale Hallway commission,
on the application of tho Western TralllO
association for permission to lucreaso the
rate on cream, which waa on all day, wat
noticeable for the absence of farmers and
owners of cows and the great Interest ths
creameries and tho railroads and express
companies take In the farmer. The super
intendent of the Pacific. Express company,
G. I). Patterson, was on the stand until
late this afternoon when J. L. Uurtla,
who Is Interested In a oo-opcratlvo cream
ery company at Carrollton, began to tes
tify. This man was the witness of Frank
Gaines, representing the railroads and ex
press companies, and after telling of ths
capacity of his plant, and how tho revenues
were divided, ho was asked how much
money the concern nmde In comparison
with the central creameries. This lead to
a lengthy debate between Hairier anj
Smith, representing the central creameries,
and Mr. Guinea as to the almlsslon of this
testimony, when the commission finally
concluded to allow him to answer the,
question, It being understood this question
would lead to question regarding tho price
paid for cream In Nebraska and other
states, together with a comparison of
rates, the attorneys started another ar
gument. The witness finally worked It In
that his company paid 22 cents for. cream
and the Beatrice Creamery company 20
cents.
Most of tho day was devoted to dis
cussions between tho attorneys and little
of any particular bearing on the question
at Issue was brought out." In beginning
at tho suggestion of Mr. Halner and A. W.
Jcfferls, representing the Commercial club
i of Omaha, Mr. Onlnes set out that the
real parties at Interest In the matter were
the railroad doing business In Nebraska
and the Pacific Express company, Mr. Jcf
ferls discussed at length the provisions
of the Sibley 26 per cent reduction law,
and told how the express companies were
trying to evade them. This Is Just another
scheme, he said, to get around that law.
Kxnrrns Company's Position.
Mr. Patterson testified In answer to ques
tions that the present rate on cream was
the original milk rste put In at a tlmo
a ran of milk was Valued at tl At that
time Mr. Patterson said the milk was ship
ped to skimming stations and the express
companies handled the finished products.
But at this time the shin ors were all
using hand separators and were shipping
only what la known as butterfat. one ran
of which equals about seven cans of milk.
They are now carrying ,thls butterfat at
milk rates, which, he said. Is out of all
proporltlon to other merchandise, which
Is shipped at not less than 40 cents per
100 pounds. Up to thirty miles m'lk or
cream Is shipped at 15 cents per 100 pounds.
The express companies dlsovered the ship
pers were sending out butterfat Instead
of milk when bills were sent In for spill
ing the milk. The bills called for 22 to 18
tances In the state, Mr. Patterson salJ, was
from 27 to 80 cents. The cans are returned
free. What the express companies carry 1n
the milk line, he said. Is at less than
freight rates, though the shipment goaa
on the passenger train.
"This should not be characterised as a
fight over cream rates," volunteered Mr.
Patterson, "but tt Is simply a matter of
Justice. We should not be compelled t
haul fat at the same rate as milk."
Cross Kxamlnntlon,
Attorney Halner put Patterson through
a red-hot cross-examination and brouht
j added costs of doing business. When the
present rate went Into effect the American
was only handling twenty-five cans of
milk a day and now It is handling 1,000
cans; that tne compeny ima auu.-u mii
milk trucks to Its equipment during the
last six months, though these trucks were
used for other purposes besides haullnf
cream on them; that Is costs no more t"
haul a can of cream than It does milk!
that the Increased business adds to tho
revenue of the company; that the salary
,of the employes has not been Increased;
that the Union Pacific practically owns
the Pacific Express company and the ex
press business Is merely a department of
the railroad business; that In small places
the railroad agent acts as the agent of thi
express company.
