SAVANNAH, Feb. 27.—A splendid
piece of work was done by the Savan
nah police department Tuesday night
when It rounded up 150 negroes and
whites, the latter being In the great ma
jority. however, and haled them into Po
lice Court today on charges of vagrancy.
All but 20 of those arrested succeeded
in showing that they have some manner
of gaining a livelihood. They were re
leased. The 20 were remanded to the
City Couri. Judge Norwood agreed to
night. however, to the proposition of a
Brunswick agent, who proposed that the
20 negroes be sent to Brunswick to work
on tlie docks In the place of striking
longshoremen. The offer Included paying
lUe railway transportation. Tho negroes
all agreed, and they w'ill be sent to
Brunswick tomorrow.
This morning 150 negroes appeared at
the Ocean Steamship docks seeking work.
The company had announced several days
they were short of labor, but appli
cants never appeared until tho vagrancy
crusade started. The labor problem here
is in a fair way to find a solution.

Pacific to secure the Union Pacific put
the Northwest ten years behind where
It would have been if control had been
obtained; all ending with a scene
where the Government and the man
stood confronted.
A Memorable Session.
These were events that made yester
day’s session ..f the Interstate Com
merce Commission, with Edward H.
Harriman as sole witness, a memora
ble one. They gave a vivid and inti
mate realization of the problems of
swollen wealth and railway regula
tion, and the circumstances gave the
inquiry importance. It all made a no
table contribution to the financial his
tory, in llgfit and dark, of the time.
Mr. Harriman .was on the stand
throughout the day and his examina
tion in chief was conducted by Frank
B. Kellogg, of SL Paul. Minn., special
counsel for the Government. This
statement of the witness as to Stuyve-
sant Fish came In the middle of the
morning session. Mr. Kellogg In
reference to the Illinois Central spoke
twlco of the "squabble” between the
witness and Mr. Fish.
Mr. Knapp, of the Commission,
leaned over and adressed Mr. Harri
man in a low tone. His question ap
parently related to the Fish incident
and Mr. Harriman spun round his
chair, facing the bench and ?aid:
Fish Deposited Half Million.
"Yes, in 1502 Mr. Fish deposited over
half a million dollars of Illinois Cen
tral funds with the Trust Company.
We directors immediately directed the
secretary to withdraw this money and
it was done.”
Mr. Harriman then said that later
in the same year, Mr. Fish had de
posited with the Trust Company a
large amount of Illinois Central funds,
thus using this money “To pad the
Trust Company’s statement.”
Harriman said that he personally
loaned Fish $112,000 to help him out
and so he could take up various obli
gations. Notwithstanding the board's
action, continued Mr. Harriman, in
1904. Mr. Fish again began to deposit
money of the Illinois Central with cer
tain trust companies "in order to pad
statements.”
“The trouble with Mr. Fish,” said
Mr. Harriman, “was that he looked
upon the Illinois Central as his per
sonal property.”
He then told how Mr. Fish had en
tered into one contract for the con
struction of the Indianapolis .and St.
Louis Railroad and committeed the
company without tne consent or action
of the board, and this when the board
had previously expressed Its disap
proval of this.
Right of Commission to Inquire.
There was a renewal of objection to
the right of the Commission to inquire
Into the private stock transactions of
Mr. Harriman and the matter took the
same course as yesterday. The Com
mission ruled that the questions must
be answered. Then followed a formal
refusal, stated to be upon the advice
of counsel, and the record was in each I
instance formally completed. The first >
objection was against revealing the !
amount of holdings of Mr. Harriman i
and his associates in the Santa Fe.
and the second as to the existence of a
pool or private understanding as to i
stock In the Illinois Central. The most i
interesting of the series of questions !
was as to possible speculation in stock

1S9S in anticipation of the dividend in
1906. The objection was renewed
throughout the day whenever Mr. Kel-
logg referred to the transactions of the
witness in the railroads that are under
inquiry and so all examination along
that line was blocked. No steps have
yet been taken for testing the ques
tion In the court?, but Chairman
Knapp has shown great care in laying
the foundation in the record every time
the proposition has recurred.
Explained Deferred Dividend.
Mr. Harriman explained the defer
red dividend announcement of Au
gust, 1906, by saying that the board
had referred the dividend declaration
to the executive committee for ap
proval. That committee was to meet
as usual the next morning. Harriman.

it was after 3 p. m. when the com

was decided not to announce tho divi

London market the benefit as against
New York. So the announcement was
withheld until the second morning,
thus giving the New Yord market the
benefit. He insisted that there was
no other cause or reason for this ac
tion.
Mr. Harriman proceeded with his

HAGKETT LANDED
RALEIGH. N. C., Feb. 26.—The floor of
the House of Representatives this after
noon was the scene of an encounter be
tween Congressman-elect R. N. Hacket,
of the Eighth District, and Representative
C. G. Bryant, of Wilkes County. Hack-
ett used his right effectively on Mr. Bry
ant’s ear and jaw. Mr. Bryant drew a
long bladod pocket knife and made for
Hackett, but was intercepted and dis
armed. He then attempted to strike
Hacket with an inkstand and subsequent
ly attempted to strike him. but the blows

s-
tioned him closely in an apparent ef
fort to elicit some admission of motive
in the day in the announcement, but
Mr.. Harriman’s replies were direct
He admitted that the delay In the an
nouncement was unusual, but said that
the occasion was unusual.
"It was staggering," said Mr. Harri
man. “It marked an epoch, but if I
had been able to have been present at
the hour for which the executive com
mittee meeting was scheduled, the
announcement of the dividend would
have been made in the usual way the
morning after the directors meeting.”
Commissioner Lane, leaning across
the bench, began an impressive sketch
of the enormous acquirements of the
Union Pacific under Harriman. He
began with the issuance of one hun
dred millions of. bonds and traced Its i
purchases out to Portland on the

took place while an executive committee
was in session. . a matter concerning
Wilkes County being under consideration.
Hackett had addressed the committee,
and when he closed. Mr. Bryant, a mem
ber of the committee, arose to speak. In
ferring to Hackett s remarks, he said that
he resented the aspersion put upon the
commissioners of his county. Hackett re
plied that he had not aspersed the Com
missioners. Bryant repeated the remark
and Hackett struck him. The committee
was in a tumult of excitement for five
minutes. Hackett is a Democrat and Bry
ant a Republican. Both live in Wilkes
County.
born after-effects are often worse than
the disease itself. The health of the
body is badly shattered-and oftentimes
there seems to be no way to restore
it. The sufferer becomes nervous, ir
ritable and the system is powerless fo
resist the attacks of such diseases as
bronchitis, pneumonia and consump
tion.
The story told by scores of victims
of the grip is substantially the same.
One was tortured 'by terrible pains at
the base of the skull that made life
unendurable and that long defied the
power of medicine; another was left
tired, faint and in every way wretched
from anaemia or scantiness of blood;
another had horrible headaches, was
nervous and couldn’t sleep: another
was left with weak lungs, difficulty in
breathing and acute neuralgia. In ev
ery case relief was sought in vain until
the great blood-builder and nerve
tonic. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, was
used.
Could Hardly Stand.
Mrs. Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry
street, West Bay City. Mioh., rays: ’ I
caught a cold, which ran into the
grip. I was confined to my bed for
two weeks. At the end of'that time
I was able to be about, but was com
pletely run down. I was so weak I
could hardly stand, my cheeks had no I
color and I felt faint. My heart would
flutter and it was difficult for me to i Ti
en my heart and thoroughly alarmed
me. While I was suffering in this way
I chanced t& run across a '.it11 o b '.'k
that told about Dr. Williams' Pink Bills.
The statements In it impressed me and
led me to buy a box. It was fortunate
for me that I did. for these pills
✓roved the very thing I needed to cure
me. Improvement-set in as soon as I
began to take them, and it was very
marked by the time I h.'fd finished the
first box. Four boxes made me a well
woman. In fact, the pills proved, so
thoroughly adapted to my case that
there is nothing further to say except
that I am a very grateful woman and
that I sincerely recommend Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills to any p«opie who
are -sick as I was.”
A Characteristic Case.
Mr. William A. Newman, or Sngrada.
Camden County, Missouri, says: "The
attack of grip whicji r had left me In
a very bad fix. I became nearly deaf
and my head ached continually and
was filled with hissing and roaring
sounds that were fearfully annoying.
My heart fluttered and had regular
runnlng-nway spells. My stomach was
so sore that I could hardly bear a touch
on that part of my body. My kidneys
gave me trouble. When I attempted
to get up after sitting a while, they
ached so that I could hardly stand.
"First I tried a doctor, but he did rr.e
no good. Then I took several birds of
advertised preparations, but nothing
proved helpful until I began to use Dr.
Williams’ Pink -Pills. As soon as I
got them I knew that I had at last hit
upon the right remedy for my case.

than anything else I had ever taken

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 26.—At the
meeting of the State Railroad Commis

of the complaints made by Bowdre
Phinizy, of Augusta, against the Geor
gia Railroad. The commission has in
vited both sides to the controversy to
appear before it at that time, but has
not legally summoned them. It is
optional with those at interest whether
they apepar or not. 3ut the commis-
| sibii is anxious to get at the true gist
of the matter so as to know how to
proceed intelligently. There is one
thing certain, and that is a full inves
tigation will be made, and about the
only thing the meeting will decide is
where it shall be begun.
Commissioner Joseph M. Brown
stated today that the commission had
received no formal application from
the Farmers' Union as yet asking for
a reduction of the passenger fare in
the State two two cents a mile. It Is
known, however, that a thorough in

question of passenger earnings within

Another feature of the order was

Bids for Construction Rejected.
In his letter to the chairman of the
Canal Commission, instructing that
body to reject-the bids for construction
of the canal, the President states that
the contract to secure by the services
of the lowest, best, most skilled con
tractors in the country at the least
risk to them and at the least expense
to the Government this purpose failed,
he said, as to the contractors whoso
personal services in the work are not
what the commissioners sought and
have made arrangements to divide the
profits under the percentage bid with
bankers and others to whom the con-
tratcors have had to look for the
needed capita! so that the contractors
who were actually to do the work have
arranged to accept a comparatively
small proportion of the profits accru
ing ’ under the contract. No contract
can ultimately operate to the benefit
of the Government, the President stat
ed, in which the contractors’ energy,
skill, experience and personal super
vision of the work are not adequately
paid for. The President further stat
ed that Mr. Stevens, the chief engi
neer, advised against accepting either
the McArthur or Oliver bids. One of
the chief reasons for adopting the
contract was that its main feature
was formulated by Stevens, who was
expected to supervise the work as
chief engineer. His resignation, the
President says, takes away the special
reason mentioned for proceeding un
der present form of contract. .
To Reorganize Commission.
The intention of the President is
that there shall be an entire re-organ-
lzation of the commission, with three
army officers of the engineer corps u-s
its leading members, who are to have
charge of the engineering features of
the canal. The chairman and engi-
neer--in-chief of the commission will
be Maj. G. W. Goethals. and his asso
ciates will be Maj. D. B. Gaillard and
Maj. William L. Sibert, to rank in tho
order named. All are comparatively
young and energetic members of the-
corps.
