RULES TO STOP GRAFT Department Officials N'ot tn Deal With the Government Experience WitbDr. Moore and Dr. Salmon Points the Way to Cut Off 0 ficials From Commercial Rela tions as Side Lines Washington, Aug. 5. Two important rules, destined to prevent department officials from engaging in commercial enterprises which deal with the govern ment, are being formulated by James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture. They are the direct result of the dis closures in connection with the case of- Dt. George T. Moore, who resigned some days ago khen it became known that through his wife he held stock in a" nitro-culture company, and - of the case of Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal Industry, who admitted yesterday that for six years prior to 1902 he was the silent partner of George E. Howard of the How ard Printing Company, which has had the enormous contracts for printing meat inspection labels. The first rule that Secretary Wil son has under consideration will provide-that no employee of the depart ment ofagriculture shall be interest ed in any concern that- is engaged in a comrnercial way upon a line of work upon, which the employe is engaged in the course of his duties in the depart ment. The second will prohibit any employee from being interested in any concern which contracts with the de partment if that employee is in a posi tion to influence the award of a con tract or is likely to be called upon for a. recommendation. THe investigation of the bureau of animal industry is now on at full steam. It can not be definitely learn ed who is in charge, but it is stated that neither Secretary Wilson nor Dr. Salmon is directing it. The return of District Attorney Mor gan H. Beach is anxiously awaited in Washington. Mr. Beach is supposed to (have gone to New York and other cities in search of information having a bearing on department of agricul ture cases now before the grand jury. Engineers Under Charges i Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 5. Special. Herbert Ward, marine engineer on the steamer Compton faced the serious charges of drunkenness, Insubordina tion and exceeding authority of en gineers' license, the trial being con ducted as a court of inquiry before Government Inspectors Rice and Bor den. The first charge specifically was that Ward "ran his boat to sea while his lisense permitted only his running on the river; the second was that Ward was drunk and insubordinate on the' steamers Wilmington and Alex ander Jones. The flrs.t was admitted, the second was not proven, and the third (for insubordiantion) is yet un der advisement. Captain Harper testi fied that he found Ward in the Wil mington's engine room on the floor either ill or drunk, Ward contends that he was sick. NEW CONTROL OF THE QUARANTINE The Federal Government Will Take Charge FIGHT ON THE SCOURGE Chief of the Revenue Cutter Service Ordered to New Orleans Complaint of Louisiana as to Mississippi Patrol Boats to Be Investigated and Remedy Will Be Applied Washington, Aug. 5 The Jederal government will take charge of the yellow f ever situation in Louisiana and wherever the disease may make its appearance, and the state authority will be expected to recognize the para mount authority of the federal health officers. The decision to take this step was reached at a conference today between Secretary Shaw and Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service, and in accordance with gen eral instructions received by Dr. Wy man from the president Governor Blanchard of Louisiana telegraph ed to the president last night from Baton Rouge, informing him of the action taken by the commercial bodies of New Orleans, j . The expenses of the government's fight against the fever scourge will be ipaid out of a fund known ss the epi- uciiiiu iuuu, wiw;u jfiisviueu congress several years ago. It was said at the treasury department to day that there are several precedents which' justify the federal government in taking charge of the situation at New Orleans, for similar action was4 taken in the yellow fever epidemics at Brunswick, Ga., and at the national soldiers' home at Hampton, Va., some years a so. At the conference today it was de cided to send Capt. Worth Ross, chief of the revenue cutter service, to New Orleans to' take charge of the revenue cutter situation. The action of the commanding officer of the cutter Win ona toward some of the vessels In the harbor of New Orleans during the epi demic has caused much complaint from the state and city authorities, and al though the officer's general course la upheld by the treasury department It has been deemed best to send the chief of the service to take charge of the situation. The decision to send Captain Ross was reported after this telegram had come to Mr. Shaw from Governor Blan chard: "Mississippi patrol boats for. ten days past have been invading Louis- latin waters and iurisdictlon. molesting our fishermen, stopping, driving in and!Haar to take an outing party for the chasing our boats. They kept railway drawbride at Rigolets closed for week except as they saw fit to permit it opened; bridge entirely on Louisiana soil. Sent force to seize or expel the boats. Found a. boat almost at Louis iana canal connecting river with lake, seized her and arrested crew and will prosecute latter in courts. At Rigolets found Mississippi boat Grace. ' She has been principal offender. When about to seize her she claimed to be in ser vice of United States marine; hospital service. Asked for credentials, she had fnone, but said would go get them. She returned with some kind of authority from Dr. Wasdin. If you have au thorized this. I must submit", but it is pretty hard to have Mississippi boats Invade our territory, committing such acts of trespass and shield themselves behind authority of federal govern ment. In all the communications that have been published between Governor Vardaman' and myself, j I was never informed the Grace was (Commissioned by your department. , I asked Wasdin a few days ago the direct question whether the Mississippi armed patrol boats were under his orders. He an swered he had not sent, any armed boats into our waters except Winona. Then was the time for him to have informed me the Grace was under his orders whether shew-as farmed or not. Looks like Mississippi has been using authority of federal government for depredations in Louisiana. I protest against all this. Hope you will order Investigation. Please wire if I am to regard Grace as in service Of your department." Secretary Shaw sent the. following telegram to Governor Blanchard this afternoon : " i '"I have ordered Captain Ross, chief of revenue cutter service, to New Or leans to take charge of the revenue cutter service there under general direction of the public health and marine hospital service. Officials of both branches of the service deny any violation of law. Now that the whole subject of quarantine has been; by authority. of the governors of' each state, turned over to the federal gov ernment, there need be no fear of fur ther complications. Meantime, I will have all fcharges investigated." , V Archbishop Chappelle Stricken New Orleans, Aug. 5. This city was chocked at 8 o'clock tonight when the news came from the board of health that Archbishop Chapelle had been stricken down with '.yellow fever. He had been working faithfully among the Italians in the French market quarter ever since the yellow fever plague made its appearance . He carried love affection- and confidence to every one and assisted the medical corps as ho one else' could. The news of his ill ness was taken as far the most seri ous news of the day. He Is lying very low in this extreme hour, of need. Archbishop Chapelle is one of the best known personages in the Catholic world today. He was apostolic dele gate to. Cuba and Porto Rico and was formerly, delegate to the : Philippine Islands. Out of thirty new cases of fever to day, all -are within five blocks of the fever infected district and all hut three are Italians. The Record for Saturday New cases 30. Deaths 8. No new cases were reported from any of the country districts. New Orleans, Aug. 5.A,, decidedly more optimistic feeling prevailed here today relative to the yellow fever sit uation, growing out of the appeal to the United States government to take charge and the telegram from the pres ident to Governor Blanchard in which he announced that he would as a matter of course do all In his power to assist in crushing out the disease. The mere assurance had a good effect, although it is understood that there will be no very great change in the work to be done, and that the assistance the gov ernment can give is Umited and will hot greatly alter the methods now being pursued. The failure of the sanitary measures that have been taken-'-to. produce fa- j operating in North Carolina and other vorable results in the matter of new southern states claims that it had sus cases expedited the application, as 't taln& heavy losses -in handling south was felt that it would be unfair to j ern fruit and berries during this year, wait until the last moment, until the ! 5111(1 threatens to abandon the territory epidemic was hopeless, and then ask federal assistance. Dr. White, who has charge of the United States marm hospital service here, stated that the campaign would be carried on by the federal government along the lines (Continued On Page Two.) IN PERILOUS POSITION Picnic Party Rescued From a Burning Boat MatCh lTOpped..iH Vjfclie Bottom Of - . ; "j the Boat Ignited Gasoline Seven ! Ladies Rescued With a Fisherman's Assistance Negro New Bern, N. C, Aug. 5. Special. A heart rending scene was witnessed at noon today by spectators on the river front, who stood almost breath less and saw seven ladies and one gen tleman rescued from a fire and watery grave. Dr. Ward secured the naptha launch owned by his brother-in-law, William TT A. A 1 i, . ... day. The party consisted of Dr. Ward, i information received by them this week Mrs. William Haar, Misses Irene, Ad-1 is that their hopes will not be .real die and Thelma Peck, Miss Nettle ized. It is claimed that provision was Fowler, Miss Nettie Daniels and Mrs. Dr. Francis Duffy, all of this city. Dr. Ward filled the gasoline tank to its utmost, some of the fluid running over into the bottom of the boat. When about two miles down Neuse river Dr. Ward struck a match, lit a cigarette, thought he threw it overboard, but It ; pated revenue from an expected ship lodged in the boat, igniting the gaso- j ment, but is increased by the loss of line, and in a few moments the flame3 mileage on thousands of cars and on almost covered the entire boat, extend ing fifteen feet in the air. Mrs. Haar and her three daughters, the Misses Peck, went overboard and clung to some net stakes. Miss Nettie Fowler and Mrs. Duffy stood in the boat's stern while Miss Nettie Daniels was forward on the extreme end of the bpvr, but failed to escape the flames. She was burned on her lower limbs, but her injuries are not of a serious nature, as she was rescued by Dr. Ward, who was also in the water. He did herolo work trying to leave the en tire party. 4 An old colored fisherman, who was near by,' assisted Dr. Ward In helping all the ladies in his boat and carried them ashore. The revenue cutter Boutwell dis- patched a life saving crew to the scene and several launches were there in a short tlm. General Tom, a United States service boat, hurried to the scene, put their fire pufljps to work and extinguished the Are. The naptha launch was gut- 1 ted, leaving the hull and damaged machinery.

Crop, Continued 'With Strawberries and sRan Through Cantaloupes and Georgia Peaches. Figures on Revenue Collections By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, Aua. 5. There is reason to beiieve that the private car lines, which handle practically all the fruit and berry shipments in this country, will endeavor to increase their sched ule of rates in the south next year. The largest one of these car lines where the losses occurred. To use the language of a representatives of the ! company, renewals of contracts with southern roads may not be sought next year. While it is probably true that the private car lines operating In the south have .been hit hard this season, it Is doubted whether this . threat to quit the southern field will be at tempted. - Rather is the opinion en tertained that the refrigerating lines will attempt to increase their scale of rates, assuming the position that they have been operating without profit. At any rate expression is freely given to this opinion. Representatives of the private car lines declare that the entire southern season has been the' worst In all their history, and that the story of their . Things began to break badly with the shipment of Florida lettuce. The crop was cut" short bv a sudden freeze. There was a car famine during the strawberry crop in North Carolina, which cost the Armour line alone $100, 000, in order to settle up claims. It is claimed also that much money was lost in handling the canteloupe crop i because of the inability to get a suffi cient supply of ice. The statement is made that ice had to be shipped by special trains from Philadelphia and Washington to Columbia, Hamlet and Rocky. Mount in order to adequately ice fruit trains from the south. The representatives of the private car ! lines declare that they had hoped to i recoup their losses to a considerable ' J j. . .1 , Viilf ; extent on the Georgia peach crop, bu made for handling over 5,-000 cars of peaches and that the c?op amounts to an actual shipment of only 2,500 car loads. The refrigerator car com panies contend that their losses, un like railroads, are not confined merely to the difference between the antici- the ice that is intended for refrigera tion. The contracts with all railroads provide that the private car lines are responsible for the shipment of fruit, and that In order to estimate properly the probable size of crops, the com pany has to maintain a force of agents the year around for this purpose. . This statement of the position of the private car lines with reference to southern business is interesting, to say the least, and future developments will be watche with Interest. It is prob able within the range of . accuracy to declare that the berry growers of North Carolina, not to mention many of the truckers, are absolutely dependent up on the " private car lines for the de livery of their : products to the mar kets of the north. Internal Revenue Collections North Carolina contributed five mil lion dollars to the federal government in internal revenue collections, which is a gain of a third of a million dollars during the past year. These facts are obtained from the preliminary report of the commissioner of internal revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905. The total collections for the past year were $4,994,968, as compar ed with $4,667,182 the year previous. For the first time in many years the collections in the fourth district (Dun--can's) - exceed those of the western district. Duncan's collections are $2,549,155, Showing a gain of $292,378, while 'Harkins are $Z,444nN3, showing a gam. of only $35,408. The -monthly report of the fourth assistant postmaster ' general shows that there were 987 rural delivery routes j in operation on August 1. There were , 310 petition pending at the time, of which 94 are from the eighth district. Japanese Attack Staroe-selo from the front report that the Jap- anese continue : to land troop at As troies Bay, where they now have S0, 000 men with artillery. An advance guard on August 4 reached Staroe-selo, thirty-five miles Inland. The Japanese attacked Staroe-selo vigorously. The defender eventually abandoned the place after setting the village on fife. The Russians lost thirty-eight killed and 112 wounded. ; Bakers Start a Riot New York, Aug. 5.

An Incipient riot occurred on the baseball field here today at the close of the New York Pittsburg game. With the score 5 to 5, and no one out, and a Pittsburg player on third base in the last half of the ninth in ning, New York started a fight and refused to playi They objecfted to a decision by Bausewine calling 'Ritchey safe at third, and became, very ugly with Umpires Bmslie and Baus wlne. So bad did they become that Umpire Bausewine pulled his watch on them and threatened to forfeit the game if play was not resumed in one minute. McGraw shook his fist in the face of ' Bausewine while Mathewson tried to knock the umpire's watch from his hand. This settled matters. The moment the hands of the watch showed the minute was up- Bausewin held up his hand, shouting that the game had been forfeited to Pittsburg 9 to 0, and the New York players started for Umpire Bausewine pell mell. And just about the time the New York players started for. Bause wine about 10,000 of the' 18,000 spec tators in the field and stands started for McGraw and his players. They were soon surrounded by a large and angry mob. Then scores pf pollca seemed to rise out of the ground and the bloodthirsty crowd was hammer ed back with clubs. Fred Clark came in with his players and helped ; beat the crowd back from the New York players, who huddled in a bunch near the bench. The New Yorkers werw at the end of fifteen minutes taken, in couples from the field and lodged in their carriages back of the stand. But the troubles ef fte New York play ers seemed only to have begun. The crowd, which was the biggest ever appearing at a game in Pittsburg, ex tended around the stand, and there was no protection for the players there. Some of the .rougher element among the fans took pot-shots with stones at the New Yorkers a they started out In their carriages. The yellow blankets (New York cham pions) were torn from the horse of McGraw's carriage and the entire club was stoned down Robinson street and clear to the bridgespanning the river. Several of the New York players were hurt, but not seriously, by the flying stones. All the players before leav ing for Chicago tonight said they felt indeed glad to have escaped with their lives. McGraw said he would protest the game. The game was closely con tested until the dispute arose. The score: ," R.H.B.
