Twenty-five years utiu or Hutch Louts a

fart that thla particular shipment paxeed
through 8(!en without trouble to the
acort caused remark among the baggage
tneo In Omaha. The ailent passenger was
not discommoded and the escort was re
lieved of some discomfort. If the urief
stricken could he relieved of annoyance
and worry by the simple nu'duni of a
baggage cheek, thought Mr. Traynor. whv

the Missouri river.
least's I.loes erileil.
To aeceure the full btneflt of the through
chock," liowovv, the co operation1 of con
necting lines eastward was needed, and
Mr. Traynor set about securing it. The
task proved an exceedingly difficult one.
Opposition was met p.t every turn of the
road. It was based mainly on the fear
that a check would Increase the liability
of the company by churiKing the status of
tha shipment from merchandise to bag
gage. The Item of transfer charges at
Junction points blocked th movement In
several directions, notwithstanding the
fact that one full fare, which usually In
cludes transfer charges, Is exacted for the
shipment, exclusive of the escort s ticket.
Year after year delay and confusion In
creased In the bagago departments at
Junction points. If for any reason the es
cort failed to exchange cheeks the ship
ment was halted. Often the escort, arriv
ing at a Junction on a night train, or, may
hap, worn by grief, forgot the duty of
changing checks and went on to destina
tion. Countless cases of such forgetful
ness occurred. On one occasion nineteen
telegrams had been sent and received at
Omaha before the escort was located and
the remains forwarded, causing a delay of
twenty-four hours. Another case In Kan
Has City has a record of forty-two hours'
delay and thirty-five telegrams.
Movement Is "lov.
Gradually the roads to Chicago lined up
for tha through check. North, south and
east of Chicago the old system held a grip
that required years of agitation and argu
ment to looten. The prejudice against In
novations was too strung to be uprooted
In a niment.
A few years ago the Wabavh put In force
the through check as far as Buffalo, but
beyond that point the so-called Innovation
could not make an opening until the bag
gage standpatters of the east were argued
and coaxed Into the agreement drafted
last month.
General Baggage Agent Traynor carried
on a vast amount of correspondence In
connection with the change and preached
so Ions and well on the subject before un
dertakora' conventions that ha came to be
looked upon by his associates as the ad
vance agent of a funeral. When he ap
peared at a meet of baggage men, the
crowd looked around for the box. If a
tear fluttered In the corner of his eye, they
knew at once that a story of subs relieved
and grief assuaged was due, and they
braced themselves fur the onslaught. Some
times he sheared the moss so close to the
hide that the victim screamed, and In one
Instance, on a western road, tha chief of
the baggage smashers promised a vocal
roast that failed to arrive. The success of
the movement, and the benefits which
sorrowing- escorts will derive from the
through check Is regarded by Mr. Traynor
as gratifying reward for the energy expended.

Manufacturing company Is still missing
and It now eni last night's estimate of

fire will still stand at 25. Additional Identi

No bodies were found In the burned build

no more will be found. He will keep lila men
at work until the ruins have been turned
over brick by brick.
All approaches to the acene were crowded
while daylight lasted with a moving mass
of humanity. It waa estimated that 200.000
slKhtseera pushed against the police lines.
While the firemen were digging among
the ruins, detectives from the county prose
cutor's office were making examination
of their own to determine responsibility for
the lofs of life Photographs snd measure
ments were taken to he used in the offi
cial inquiry that will be held later. The
factory was an old one and the rlty au

be held accountable for any lack of fire

they l ave Jurisdiction only over new build

ordinances, but in the case of a building
already standing the state law holds and
that law, they say. Is less rigid than the

Views of Emperor
Roman Paper Praises Speech of Kaiser
Wilhelm as Vindication of
Truths.
HOME, Nov. 28. The Oaservatore Romano
publishes comments, evidently Inspired by
the Vatican, on the d scusslon yesterday In
the (Jerman Reichstag of t.ie speech made
by Kmperor William at Koenlgaburg on
August 2, pointing out that the dehatfl
furnished proof of the Irrefutable truth
contained in the emperor's apeeches, both
at Koenlgshurg and Beuron. that the
throne and altar cannot be divided In Ger
many, religion being necessary In the
atruKgle against error In modem times.
In addressing the abbot and several
Roman Catholic dignitaries In the Benedic
tine monastery at Beuron the emperor
said: "The governments . of Christian
princes csn only be carried on according
to the will of the Lord. The altar and
throne are closely united and must not be
separated."
The Vatican official organ In the course
of its comment says: "The two fine
apeeches of the German monarch were
noble. Just and constitutionally correct.
While Irrellgion and demagogy Imperil
the principles of authority and order it was
a relief to hear certain truths nobly vindi
cated by the authoritative and august lips
of a powerful sovereign."

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2ft (Special 1 -For
the fiscal year ended June ?, last, the
I'nlt'-d States department of Agriculture
announces, the i"i per cent of national
forest revenues which will go to the slates
for road and school purposes amounted to
t4.l.'44. Tins was $;7.4'.':.G3 more than
last year, or an Increase of a little over 13
per cent. The payments are an offset to
the loss of Income from taxable property
sustained through withdrawal of the forest
land from entry under the public land
laws.
The amounts which will go to the va
rious states are as follows:
Aria. ma I.r.1.23.3
Arkansas l.'MA 4
California 6u. ;!!. S1
Colorado 60.3". 1H

South Dakota f.sns.M
1'tah S2.!Kj.40
Washington 23.b71.W
Wyoming 84.. 04. 64
Noteworthy la the especially heavy In
crease over the amounts last year In cer
tain states. In California the amount rose
over 25 per cent, in Idaho by over 3o per
cent, and In Oregon by nearly fs) per cent.
The Increases are tho result of increased
activity In national forest timber sales In
these states and are an earnest of what
will happen as the timber supply which
the government Is caring for comes into
full demand. Since the cut of timber will
always be limited to what the forests will
keep on growing, the Income to the states
will be permanent, not transitory, as would
have been the case if hasty and improvi
dent exploitation had been permitted. Ac
cording to the calculations of the Depart
ment of Agriculture officials the states will
eventually receive many times what the
forests are now yielding them, for there Is
as yet on the whole only a very restricted
demand for tho government timber.

Arizona Writes
Brief Constitution
Only Sixteen Thousand Words in
Document Follows Advice of
President Taft
PHOENIX, Aris.. Nov. 2. Arizona1 con
stitution will be the briefest written In re
cent years by any state. According,, to esti
mation It will contain less than 16.000 words,
as against 25,000 for New Mexico's consti
tution and 14.000 In that of Oklahoma's. A
sgnlflcant fact In these fgurea Is that the
constitution of New Mexico was written
by a majority elected on a "flexible" plat
form, declaring for a 'short constitution,
while the democratio delegates who control
the Arltona constitution were elected on
platforms promising reforms, variously
designated as "progressive" and "radical."
The democratic members point out that
the convention has followed the suggestion
of President Taft who, when In Arizona,
held up the Oklahoma constitution as a
"horrible example," and advised Arlstontans
to make their constitution as brief as pos
sible and free from legislative details.

several of the tribesmen. Including twa
who were Implicated In the murder of
Earl Gerr, a planter from Seattle.
Another column has killed three Impli

planters, and has succeeded In recovering
Gerr' a body.
A third detachment had two soldiers

RIO JANEIRO. Brar.il. Nov. 2 -The city
awoke this morning with a ferilng of inex
pressible relief The war ships of the fleet
were again In the hands of the government,
which la.-t evening sent officers to take
command. Trains from the Interior brought
back families which had fled In fear of the
bombardment by the mutineers and the
new spapers rf J Mce that the people had
been delivered from what they deemed a
nlcMmarn.
The mutineers did Pot lack for certain
supplies, but had difficulty In securing
water and coal. The principal grievance,
sdjustment of which the men demanded,
was the employment by the officers of a
leather whip called "rhlbata" and the
stories of the punishment inflicted upon the
men as told In the newspapers show this
to have been a veritable torture.
A series of curious coincidences In con
nection with the mutiny Is set forth In one
of the local papers. In 1711 the French ship
Duguay Trouln bombarded the city prior to
its capture by the French. In 1910 the
French training ship Duguay Trouln was
in the harbor when the mutineers threw
sheila Into tha city.
On November 23. W1. Marechal Deodords
Fonseca, then president of the republic
waa deposed by the navy. On November 23,
the present revolt took practical form,
a day prophetic for the Fonaecas. The
names of the three warships on which the
mutiny started, the San Paulo, the Minas
Gerares and the Bahla, are the same as
the three states which opposed tho can-,
dldacy of Hermes Da Fonseca for the
presidency and finally when the Portuguese
cruiser Adamster bombarded the royal pal
ace at IJsbon, the Brazilian battleship San
Paulo was present and when the San Paulo
bombarded Rio the Adamster was present.
