mm in gygwi REGULAR POLICE FORCE GREATLY AUGMENTED. of the City Take Steps to Disturbances ? National Guard Companies May be Used? National Organiser for Trolley Arrested Philadelphia. Feb. 21.?Police offi? cials took the Initiative tonight in the war being waged between the striking earmen and the officials of the Phil? adelphia Rapid Transit Company when they arrested Clarence O. Pratt, the national organiser of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees, on a warrant charging him with "con? spiring to incite to riot." The warrant was served on Pratt as he was leaving an automobile In which he had been attended today's mass meeting of ths Union Carmen. Hs was locked up In the City Hall aad held to await a hearing to-mor? row morning. It Is reported that warrants have been Issued for other labor leaders as u result of a confer? ence held lats to.lay between District Attorney Rotan. Director of Public ?afety Clay and Magistrate Beaton. The police force was augmented to night by swearing in. for riot duty, the State Fsndbles, an Independent mIMtary organist tlon of about two hundred members. who are not amllated with the National Guard, bat which organisation performed service oaring the Spanish-American war. tinder the agreement which they hold their trmory from the city they are obliged to perform police duty when tailed upon Flans are also discussed tonight by the companies of the three regiments hi the Philadelphia National Guard ta this city to mobollse their troops at a moment's notice. The msyor Is entitled to call upon these troops un? der a special Act of the Assembly. Governor Stuart and Adjt Gen. Thomas J. 8tewart are here tonight, and. It necessary, a call for outside troops can be made at any time, but this is not contemplated at present. The regular force of 3.500 police aad t.000 spec'a Is was also augment? ed today by the swearing in of slxty atx park guard j and five hundred city employees of other departments. These men will begin service tomor? row and assist the worn-out police St like-Breakers Arriving. t Free carloads of strike-breakers reached here late tonight and were leaded on trolley cars at the Pennsyl? vania Railroad station In West Phil? adelphia and taken to the car barns la that section. A large squad of mounted police escorted the cars and prevented 'a threatened demonstrat? ion by a mob of several thousand, which had assembled. Trouble Is vxpected following the ns? of these men on the cars tomorrow. Reports vary as to the number of oars In service today. The company claimed that seven hundred were In operation, but the pickets watching all thej car barns reported at th headquarters of the striking trolley men that only 114 cars were run? ning on all lines. They also reported that nine crews of strike-breakers who left the Prankford barns this morning had deserted their care. All cars were withdrawn from the surface lines at ? o'clock tonight, the company stating they did not desire to endanger the lives of their loyal employees. Rioting in the very heart of the business section of the city, the at? tempted burning of another car and many petty attacks by the strike sympathisers led the police officials to enlarge their force by every ex? pedient and to consider the calling out of the State militia. The arrest of Leader Pratt caused a sensation and resulted In renewed rumors of a general sympathetic strike of all the one hundred thousand union men in this city. The Raule of The Engines. During it 10 It Is expected that strenuous efforts will bi made to Im? prove the slready great efficiency of gas-engines. Although this form of engine enjoyed a triumph In 1909 through the achievements of the aeroplanes, yet it Is pointed out that Rs old rival, the steam-engine, at the same time greatly advanced in fuel economy, achieving a thermal effic? iency of 19 per cent., a figure hlthertJ associated with gas rather than with steam-engine tests. It has recently been discovered that, owing to erron? eous t'saumptlons, the gas engine has not been credited with having ap? proached as close to the theoretic lim? it of thermal efficiency attainable by the prevailing four-stroke cycle as it really has approached. Thus It has been shown that a gas-engine which by the old standard of efficiency was supposed to have attained 30 points out of a possible 60, has really at? tained SO out of a possible 35. This leaves so little room for Improve? ment that experimenters are turning their attention to radical changes In the method of operation which will afford a larger margin for advance. PROGRESS OF SOIL SURVEY. Work In Clarendon County Under? taken For Benefit of Tobacco Grow ere. Washington, Feb. 21.?A soil sur? vey of Clarendon County, South Caro? lina has been undertaken during the preaent winter by fie Bureau of Solls. U. S. Department of Agricul? ture. Thla soil survey waa strongly requested by the tobacco planters of this section and was endorsed by the State Department of Agriculture, and several Representatives in Congress. The production of bright tobacco la the eaat-central portion of South Carolina haa rapid'y increased du? ring the past ten years, and a deter? mination of the extent of the soils upon which this grade of tobacco can be produced to the beat advantage has been urged upon the Bureau of Soils from several localities within the state. The fin? sandy loams of the seaboard section of the State are not only well eulted to the production of the type of tob? ceo, but also the production of Wtkbaf und early spring truck crops for shipment to North? ern markets. Soil surveys have already beeri made in the vicinity cf Charleston and of Conway, South Carolina, as well as of Darlington, Lee, Sumter and a portion of Orangeburg coun? ties. Extensive soil surveys have also been made In the western and west-central portion of the State, and the report on the soil survey of Saluda County, which was made dur? ing the summer of 1909, will soon be published and ready for distribut? ion. MILEAGE BILL FINALLY KILLED. Senate Rejects Free Conference Com? mute Report. Columbia, Feb. 19.?The railroad rate bill was killed In the Senate by the rejection of the free conference report by a vote of 13 to 10 tonight, ending one of the most remarkable pieces of leglalature work that h> ever occurred In the General Assem? bly.

He May Re Ahle to Return to South Carolina Within Six Weeks?No Prospect of Resuming Seat in Sen? ate This Session. Washington, Feb. 21.?The con? tinued Improvements in the condition of Senator Benj. R. Tlllman of South Carolina has inspired renewed hope of ultimate recovery from his present serious illness. In the opinion of his physicians, the chances are now much in his favor. There has been some abatement of the paralysis and today he regained the use of his right arm and leg to a limited extent. The aphasia has markedly improved and he is now able to speak. The change for the j better was attributed *o the senator's i temperate life, strong physique and his generally good condition. The, favorable developments in his illness were considered very exceptional; in fact, his case was looked upon as one in 10,000. He is responding ad? mirably to the medical treatment and It Is said the power of speech may practically be reestablished. Dr. J. W. Babcock was so encour? aged by the present condition of Mr. Tlllman that he left Washington to? night for Columbia, S. C. Before boarding his train he gave the follow? ing statement to the press. "Mr. Tlllman has not lost any ground In the last 24 hours. On the contrary, he has gained somewhat in the use of the right arm and leg, which have been completely paral? yzed heretofore. His power of speech also is improving. He is tak? ing nourishment well and his bodily functions are normal. The senator is sleeping well and the outlook Is very much more encouraging in every way." If the senator's condition continues to Improve, he may be able to leave for his home in South Carolina In a month or six weeks, but hardly be? fore. In all likelihood he will not be permitted by his physicians to oc? cupy his seat in congress during the present session. Dr. Plckford visited Senator Tlll? man at 9 o'clock tonight, after which he Issued the following bulletin: "The progress ' of Senator Tlllman toward recovery continues. He is resting comfortably. TILL/MAN OUT OF DANGER. Senior Senator Has Passed the Criti? cal Point of Illness Recovery Al? most a Miracle. Washington, Feb. 22.?There was rejoicing tonight among the friends <>f Senator Benj. R Tlllman when the ? . e attending physician announced that his patient was practically out of danger. The recovery of the Senator has been almost miraculous, in the opinion of medical men, and he con? tinues steadily to Improve. At 9 o'clock tonight Dr. E. F. Plckford gave out the following bulletin: "The condition of Senator Tlllman is all that could be desired. The par? alysis and aphasia are rapidly Im? proving The patient is practically out of danger." NEGROES TRY TO LYNCH NE? GRO. Sheriff Saves Man From Mob of his Own Race. Spartanburg, Feb. 20.?The timely arrest last night of Walter Foster, colored, by Sheriff White saved the former from the hands of Infuriated colo? od men at Valley Falls, who were seeking his life because he had shot and killed a negro by the name of Mitchell. The killing followed a frolic at Valley Falls last night. Much liquor was In evidence, and Mitchell was shot down by Foster as the for? mer stepped out of the house, where drinking and gambling had been in progress. Sheriff White was notified and succeeded In apprehending Fos? ter Just in time to save him from violence. From what can be learned of the shooting there was no provocation. As Mitchell stepped out of the house a shot was fired by Foster, and Mitchell fell dead, pierced by a bul? let in his head. Foster fled immed? iately after the killing, but was pur? sued by colored men who would probably have used him roughly If he had fallen Into their hands. Sher? iff White succeeded in locating the ?layer and landed him in Jail before I he could be overtaken by the irate I negroes. Sometimes the reason a man likes to speak at a banquet Is because he daren't at his own table. A woman's Idea of a "comfy" lunch is a little of something to eat and a large, loose dress to wear. When a mother doesn't say he baby Is bad because It hasn't had Its nap, she says It Is because It has Just waked up. JAPS KILLED RARE BIRDS. Over $100,000 Worth Of Feathers And Wings Seized In Wawali. Washington, Feb. 22.?An esti? mated value of $112,470 is placed by Capt, W. V. E. Jacobs, of the revenue cutter Thetis, on the bird's feathers and wings seized by him in January on the Hawaiian Island of Laysan and Lisiansky, whore they had been, gathered and scored by Japanese in vio'ation of President Roosevelt's proclamation designating the islands as a reserve and breeding ground for birds of plumage. Twenty-three Japanese were arrested at the time and have been turned over to the United States Marshal at Honolulu for trial. From statements made by Captain Jacobs in a report to the Treasury Department, the depredations had been In progress since early last year. A large quantity oil feathers and wings were shipped away before he arrived on the scene. In all, the Captlan thinks, about 300,000 birds were killed by the plumage hunters. They Include the tern, the petrel and the albatross. The Japanese produced documents purporting to give them the privilege of gathering fertilizer and birds of plumage, but when the officers from the vessel landed and showed their authority the offenders surrendered without resistance. Copies of the President's proclamation were posted on Laysan and Lisiansky and on other islands within the reserve. THE PRESn>ENT A PARTISAN. Mr. Taft Shows Himself to be n Republican of Republicans. Col. Henry Watterson writes in The Louisville Courier-Journal: The President has definitely shown his hand. The man of straw, seeking to mislead the voters and succeeding abundantly, has kicked the platform of imposture from under him and taken I.Is stand flat-footed upon the terra firma of practical politics. That was Inevitable. His effort to pose as a tariff reformer was at best but clumsy. It could deceive only those who wanted to be deceived and suffice those only who sought a pre? text for voting the Republican ticket. It was never intended to outlast the election. Hence the self-styled in? dependent who affects to be disap? pointed in Taft discredits his own in? telligence. To do the President no more than Justice he cut an awkward figure in his attempt to dance the tight rope of political expediency. He was sav? ed from instant and ignominious fail? ure by the famous smile, the pleasant voice, the sturdy legs, the? "fair round belly, with good capon lined," in short, the whole Jocund ex? terior Indicating good fellowship and invoking confidence. All the same and all the time he was and he is a Republican. He Is a mail-clad, case-mated dyed-in-the wool Republican. He is a Republican of the School of New England and of Pennsylvania, which teaches that wealth may be erected by legislation and, having been thus created, that It must be fostered and protected by legislation. He is a Republican of the kidney of Aldrlch, who does as he pleases with the public business and takes what he wants oft the substance of the people, and looks to the In? terests to see him through and of the ilk of Cannon, who whether In the Speaker's chair, or In party caucus, stands pat and says "ditto' to Ald rlch# Pig iron used to be the Supreme Being of this brand of very thrifty and profitable political fanaticism. Now, it is any old thing that promises to put up the mony for campaign ex? penses, from shlpsubsidy in the East to land-piracy In the West, slicked and sugared by a few la-de-das about the needs and beauty of the Human? ity and the wickedness of Trustlsm, left over from Theodore Roosevelt's fantastic paraphernalia, put on to hoodwink the hay-seeds and draw the priming of the Socialists, and gen? erally to befog the situation and con? fuse its issues. The trick, though as old as time, served its purpose; it put the Fat Man in the White House and sent the Lion Tamer on the way re? joicing, and whilst everybody sees it plain enough now, It is not so clear when the people will grow so tired of being humbugged that they will rise on their hind legs and kick the stuf? fing out of show and showmen. The world do move. Speaker Can? non has admitted he once had aspir? ations to be a reformer. Shocking bribery charges those made In New York. If Senator Con? ger may be believed, real money was wielded. Winter in this section is getting to be as uncertain as a Taft policy.?Al? bany Argus.

Feb. 22.?A case of what is believed to have been hyp? notic influence was revea'ed here to? day, when John Fosgate, an elleged hypnotist and clairvoyant 30 year* old, and William Lewis, called a confederate, were arrested upon complaint of Mrs. Xannle Lindsay, widow ol' Stuart F. Lindsay, who wea clerk of the United States Court at Abingdon, Va., for many years. Mrs. Lindsay, being advised that Fosgate and his confederate were about to leave the city, made known to the police she had mortgaged real estate in the city for $6.000, which amount she turned over in cash to Fosga*e, with a gold watch, a dia? mond ring and other Jewelry. Fos? gate was arrested early today and Lewis, who left the city in the early morning, carrying cash and jewels, was captured at a farmhouse near Vance, Tenn., six miles south of the city. Policeman Samuel Odell, learning from the conductor of the early train by telephoning to Johnson City that Lewis had left the train at Vance, hurried there. Covering Lewis with a revolver, Odell took his grip and found in it a tin box containing $3, 900 in currency and $3,500 in gold coins of 5, 10 and 20 dollar denomi? nations. In addition to the money the box contained two gold watches and pins and rings with diamonds, valued at probably $1,500. Fosgate advertised as "the most renowned professor of hypnotic science In the country." and his office was dally crowded with society men and women. When taken ? to the police head? quarters today he frankly admitted that he had secured $6,000 from Mrs. Lindsay, but declared that she gave It to him in accordance with a mar? riage contract; that he was to have been married to her, and that he would be able to prove as much by Mrs. Llnds-iy and her daughters. It was learned today that Mrs. Lindsay spent ten days In the effort to secure the money she gave the clairvoyant and succeeded by mortgaging valu? able city property without allowing her relatives to know anything about the transaction. Mrs. Lindsay is a daughter of the late Isaac C. Fow'er, who years ago conducted a news? paper in Bristol. The family is o.ie of the. best known and most highly connected In Southwestern Virginia. Mrs. Lindsay has been so conservative in the management of her business affairs that her neighbors are greatly surprised that she would have been made the victim of such a scheme. Fosgate claims to have come here from Los Angeles, but has had offices. In New York city. While this matter was brewing, It Is declared, he was busy with the pre? paration of a lecture on church work which he said he expected to deliver soon before the Bristol Young Men's Christian Association. The case will be investigated by the Police Court to-morrow, and Mrs. Lindsay, who is reticent today, is ex? pected to tell her story of the affair. Taking her as she is and on the average, woman would rather be tri? umphant than anything else in this world. When It comes to the girls, none of them wants to be kissed without her permission or to give the permission in advance.
