(By the 'Associated Press.)
Philadelphia, Pa., July 7. Sensa
tional. teBthnony waa offered today
at" the coroner's inquest in the . case
of Dong Soo, a Chinaman, who died
from gunshot wounds received dur
ing a factional fight in Chinatown on
the night of July 4. Lee Toy, who.
was long known as the "mayor of.
Chinatown,", testified that at a re
cent meeting of a band of "high
binders" several men, were marked
for assassination, among them Rev.
Frederick Poole, an Episcopal mis
sionary, who is located in the Chi
nese district. Mr.. Poole was shot
during the disturbance on July 4
and is now in a' hospital. Lee Toy
slated that the murders were to be
committed during the celebration of
independence day. Ho further tes
tified that he saw Yung Gow fire at
Dong Soo.
Fong Loon, an interpreter for the
Parkhurst Society of New York, was
present at the Inquest to interpret
the testimony.

Efficiency of English Roads Conipar"
' ed With Our Own.
If I were asked to name the char
acteristics which, , from the stand
point of the casual traveler, make
British railways most unlike Ameri
can railways, I should reply unhesi
tatingly, Hedges and the Board of
Trade. Each of these terms is some
what symbolic, as used. The hedges,
perfectly trimmed and laid out like
the bpundaries of a model garden,
suggest the neatness and careful ex
actitudes that pervade the ser
vice. They may fairly be made to
stand for the politeness of the em
ployes, the "railway servants," as
well, for one does not expect to find
rude servants in an old fashioned
garden. The traveler does not see
the Board of Trade, but he is sur
rounded oh al lsldes by its handiwork
and watched over by its inspectors.
Specifically, the Board of Trade as a
British railway characteristic stands
for the broad masonry station plat
forms, and overhead -Bridges from
the up line to the down line, the ab
sence of grade crossings, the efficient
system of block signaling and the
careful Inspection and report follow
ing even the most insignificant acci
dent . More broadly, it denotes the
great British public opinion, that
may be inefficient, but is always hon
est and courageous, and carries an in
fluence whether it expresses itself
in the shareholders' meeting or in
the columns of the Times that has
no parallel in this country. . .
The Board of Trade is a branch of
the government and -its', railway de
partment is concerned almost solely
witn public safety. It views public
safety abroad; it will not permit any
new line to bo opened for traffic until
its inspectors have passed on it, and
th inspectors require compliance

were transplanted as well.' Most for
cible of all is the impression gained
by such a study that the essential be
lief, the '-very creed and doctrine of
one -country, as regards the econom
ics of its railway working, may not
be so much as discussed in another,
where the same ultimate problem is
gotten at in a wholly different way.
Yet in spite of these patent defects
which so seriously affect the econom
ics of working, the fact must not for
a moment- be lost sight of that the
public service rendered by the Brit
ish lines, the convenience to the trav
eler and the shipper, is far in excess
of anything to be found in this coun
try. The British Isles are absurdly
small when compared with our vast
areas, and this, of course, simplifies
the operating problems; there are
no snowdrifts to delay schedules, no
sections of crudely built track await
ing perfection, and the locomotives
are never far from their home shops.
Yet, even with allowance for these ad
vantages, both freight and passen
ger traffic are habitually handled
with a regularity and certainty that
deserve the highest degree of praise.
At any large terminal in England the
number of passenger trains that ar
rive either exactly on time or a min
ute a two ahead is far greater than
that of trains the least overdue; Ave
minutes is usually a safe margin for
an important connection. -At Fin
bury Park, a suburban slation just
outside London, trains pass on an av
erage of one every two minutes night
and day, yet this tremendous traffic
is handled with clock-like precision.

with almost countless aibitrary re
quirements that entail a tremendous
expense on the railway company, and
have ,in considerable part, no real
bearing on safety. Many of these re
quirements are traditional rather
than expedient; if railways were to
be built de novo in the year 190G it
is certain that the Board of Trade
would be immensely shocked, if not
insulted, at the suggestion that a
100-ton locomotive should rely on
wheel flanges less than one and a half
inches deep to keep it on the rails at
a speed of 70 miles an hour. But the
traveler who is not a sareholder has
no occasion to worry ovei excessive
safety, and he can feel assured that
every British railway on which he Is
permitted to travel has passed a rigid
examination at the hands of one o
the most critical examining bodies in
tho world. -
The British observer is naturally
surprised to see that our safety meas
ures are enforced primarily by the
newspapers; he is scandalized to
learn that the cause of some of our
worst accidents is never known, and
hence that preventive measures do)
not follow. For example, the Men
tor wreck, on the Lake Shore, is still
unexplained, after incomplete and un
scientific examinations made by coro
ners' juries and the inefficient state
railroad commission.
The upshot of a comparison be
tween England and American rail
ways is that each country has provid
ed itself with the system that, broad
ly considered, answers its own needs
the best, and that, when all circum
stances are taken into account,
neither has much to learn from the
other. Certain great defects stand
out in each; English railway finan
cing and American railway careless
ness are both deserving of censure.
Yet these defect's are quite explain
able in their outgrowth from the
physical conditions at hand, and they
are not : amenable to any off-hand
remedy. Likewise certain points of
especial attractiveness, such as the
English baggage system and the punc
tuality of trains and the American
luxury of through travel have arisen
from a complicated set of local clr-
Mcturesque Figure Against Rack-
ground of Civilization.
You cannot cross he Nevada desert
without hearing much gossip about
"Scotty,"he of the meteoric special
trains and the colossal bluffs. A
"busted cow puncher" with an ex
otic, imagination, he lias juggled
fact and fancy until the shrewdesst
men in the ssouthwest. lock horns
in argument as to whether "Scotty"
hsis n mine in Death Valley or
dreamed it. When I met him ho was
coming out of tho desert, with a bag
of ore on a burro and I lie announce
ment: "I'm due to take a little whirl
down the road. I'm going to bluff
old Harriman out. of liis boots. I'll
bet him fifty thousand dollars I can J
beat him in a raco from the coast to
Chicago, me taking a special on the
Sante Fe and that old figgcr-head
pulling out on the i'liion Pacific.
I'm afraid he'll take water. He's a
counterfeit on the level, he is.
"They say I've killed fifteen men
just to see 'em kick," continued
"Scotty" as he cocked his hat over
one eye, "it aint so. I wouldn't do
no such thip-S. . They don't know me.
I fool 'em , all. I've got a-pair of
glasses that". can set; fifty miles, and
when they try to trail me into tho
valley I run blazes on 'em. I'm due
for a little race down the pike be
hind an engine. Maybe I've got a
mine and maybe not . Maybe its on
Kurnaco creek, in the Funeral range,
Death Valley, and maybe it's some
where else, and maybe I aint got a
cent."
A bizarrro figure of a man who
harmonizes immensely well with the
romantic mystery of Death Valley,
"Scotty" has managed to find and
somehow maintain the notoriety that
is dear to his soul. To my knowl
ledgo he "blew in" on his "whirl"
some six or eight thousand dollars
advanced under a grub-stake con
tract by a hypnotyzed New York ban
ker, which funds were to be used
in developing"' the alleged mining
properties, "Scotty" refused to tell
his backer where the mine was, and
squandered all the money advanced,
which accounts for a good part of his
flaming prosperity. As a type of tho
vanishing west, he makes a crudely
picturesque figure againsst the dull
background of a tamed civilization.
