CUT BIG MELON FOB EMPLOYES
Over a Million and a Quarter Men May
Get $81,000,000 Increase
By Associated Press. > .• ,. :.;■
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.— Record-Her
ald says:
The railroads of the entire country
stand ready to accept the standard of
wages set by the Pennsylvania and to
grant their employes an Increase of 10
per cent In lieu of other demands.
. The "melon" which the railroads are
willing to cut and to distribute among
more than 1,296,000 employes would ag
gregate between $81,000,000 and $82,000,
00 annually. This sum the roads are
ready to give the large army of em
ployes, providing the latter will accept
It and cease for the time being any
further demands for increases in all
branches of the railway service.
| Several railway magnates have al
ready taken action and have decided to
grant the increase if It .be arranged |
amicably -with employes.
The magnitude of the concession may
be understood when it is stated that it
will amount to a dividend of nearly 1.4
per cent on the capital stock of the
entire railway systems of the country j
and to nearly 37 per cent in the annual
dividends paid on that stock In 1905.
There has not been concerted action
on the part of the railroads, but the
• question of the increase in wages has
been the subject of discussion In many
meetings which have been held among
. the western executive officials at Chi
cago and the eastern men at New York.
FURNISH NO FREIGHT HANDLERS
Big Shippers Must Provide Their Own
| Help Hereafter ' U
By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Hereaf
ter there is to be no discrimination in
the assistance furnished shippers to
load and unload freight cars. The Hep
purn law forbids any suggestions of fa
voritism. . ■ ■ . "> ' • „ '
This is the announcement made by
Edward Chambers of the Santa Fe. It
used to bo the custom for railroad com
panies to assist with its own men in i
unloading: cars at private warehouses
on spur tracks.
' The ; shippers must now provide all
their own freight handlers, so that the
big shipper with the private track to
his warehouse will have to pay just the
same as the little shipper who gets his
freight out of the car into a wagon.
And if the shippers do not unload with
in the specified time the railroad will
do the unloading and charge for it at
the uniform rate of 20 cents a ton.

George Gould's Visit May Result in

The visit of George J. (iould to the west
is said to have some bearing upon the
early building of the extension of the
Weather ford. Mineral Wells & North
western railroad northwest to Trinidad,
Colo., a distance of about 600 miles.
Th« final survey for the first 150 mites j
of the proposed extension out of Mineral'
Wells has been completed and was ap
proved by Mr. Gould recently. The grad

first division.
While there has been little said about
this new undertaking of the Goulds' It '
Is one of the most Important pieces of
railroad building now under considera- 1

Gould system a direct and low-grade
line between Colorado and New Mexico

In addition to this It will penetrate

KEEN RIVALRY IS DISPLAYED
Roads Having Through Lines Make
Competition Lively
Great rivalry has recently sprung up
among the lines catering to travel des
tined to Mexican points.
The Gould lines in connection with the
International & Great Northern and the.
Mexican National are operating through
Bervlce from si. Louis to Mexico City,
by way of Ban Antonio.
The "Knty" operates through service
from Kiuisiis City by way of San An

Chicago and Mexico City. These, With
the Southern Pacific and International
& Great Northern,' give San Antonio
four through lines to Mexico. '
The Hock Island has recently an
nounced through service from Chicago,
Kansas City and St. Louis by way of
El Paso and the Mexican Central.
In railroad circles it is anticipated
that considerable rivalry will result,
and this competition has already be
come keen.
It is now reported that the San An
tonio & Aransas Pass will establish a
service by way of Alice and Laredo to
Old Mexico in connection with the Hous
ton, East & West Texas and the Cotton
Bell to St. Louis. This would be a very
short route, and one that has never
been presented as catering to through
service, but, with proper arrangement
of schedules, could easily compete with
any other line, as distance Is in its fa

WAGER THAT LAUNCHING
WILL BE UNSUCCESSFUL
By Associated Press.
TOKIO, Nov. 16.— An extraordinary
story is current here of bets being laid
in -Yokohama against the successful
launching of the battleship Satsuma
at Yokosuka yesterday and of attempts
to make the launching a failure.
About $500,000 is Bald to have been
wagered at odds of 7 to 3 against the
successful floating of the warship, and
workmen, formerly of Yokohama, are
reported to have been bribed to place
Impedimenta in the slip.
The detection of these the day before
the launching, it is reported, led to
the discovery that a workman had
actually been arrested, but his exam
ination with a view of 'ascertaining
whether he was connected with the al
leged betting syndicate has thus far
been inconclusive. »

TWICE MARRIED;
TWICE DIVORCED
HUSBAND MAKES GENEROUS
OFFER %
Agrees to Pay Woman Who Is Seeking
Separation from Him Attorney's
Fees and $50 Per Month
for Life :
In a petition for temporary alimony
argued yesterday morning before Judge
Conrey of department five of the su
perior court, In the divorce proceedings
of Ella B. Hunt against William Hunt,
a remarkable story of marital difficul
ties was told, and when the case com
up for trial It is expected that a close
contest will result.
i 1 For, according to the evidence, the
present suit filed by Mrs. Hunt is the
second petition for divorce which she
has brought against her husband, the
first having been successful, and short
ly thereafter followed by a second mar
riage.
The couple were married in Los An
geles several years ago, the groom be
ing somewhat older , than the bride.
Incidentally Hunt hud been married
before and had several children by, his
first marriage. .' .'■■''■
Following the wedding Hunt and his
bride went, to Catallna on their honey
moon. Hunt owned ■•< tine piece of
property there and conducted a curio
establishment.
Says Husband Was Cruel
Their married life progressed pleas
antly for a while and then came trouble
and the couple separated, she wile
charging her husband with cruelty.
A long list of allegations was murlo
at the trial of the divorce in San Fran
cisco, and Hunt Immediately divided his
property, giving his wife practically all
his holdings, including many promis
sory notes, and retaining for himself
the lot at Avalon. ' ■■•;.>':
! At that time the lot was worth very
little, and the wife was perfectly satis-
II I fled with her share of the property and
a decree of divorce, But the money dl.l
not last long, and according to Hunt's
story Ills wife soon let him know that
She had spent her share of the prop
erty and that she was in actual need.
Then Hunt again fell in love with his
wife. in spite of all the troubles, they
had undergone, and he gently woed and
J won her a second time.
| For a second time he led his wife to
the altar and they were married. For a
second time the then retired curio deal-
II I er and his wife spent their honeymoon
at Catullna Island and viewed his prop
erty, now worth 128,000.
! Again trouble came to the household,
and the husband Is now alleged to have
I deserted. Before the wife for the sec
ond time filed divorce proceedings she
placed a homestead claim on the Culii
llna property, claiming .half of that.
Not knowing exactly what was hap
i pening to him, Hunt yesterday made a
most generous offer In court, to the
effect that If the wife would lift the
homestead claim he would sell the prop
erty and pay her $250 attorney's fee*
and settle i'M a .month upon her for
the rest of her life.
i The offer was appreciated by Judge
Conrey, who ordered that i Hunt carry
out his promise only fifteen days after
lie homestead claim was titled by Mr*.
Hunt. -ißn&aMtftßwMßXtfßttMmi
ADVERTISE FOR NURSE
AND GETS YOUNG BRIDE
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.— Dr. C. J. Kil
mer of Jomaica, L. 1., is an unusually
fortunate man. Like the surprised
sportsman who brought down two qual
with one shot, the doctor, who is the
head of a sanitarium and hospital at
Jamaica, advertised for a head nurse
and got a bride.
Last June Dr. Kilmer's head nurse
was his cousin, Miss E. M. Kilmer. In
handling a cancerous patient she con
tracted septicaemia and died June 8.
Dr. Kilmer took the notice of her death
to a Brooklyn newspaper for publica
tion. Later on he inserted an adver
tisement In The World for a successor
to Miss Kilmer. From some ninety re
plies he selected that of Miss Ilda J.
Judd and promptly established her at
the sanitarium as head nurse.
On Friday evening Miss Judd became
the wife of Dec Kilmer.
"Yes," said the happy doctor yester
day, "it's quite a little romance, isn't
it? Marvelous virtue in a want ad."

man has been the 'ward of Capl. A. J.
ErndlshJr In the meantime the money
left heiv has doubled and redoubled,
until now it Is a snug fortune and worth
having. •
Most of the real estate Is situated in
Lost Angeles, San Diego, Alameda and
Kern county, and .Is constantly in
creasing in value.
When Oalbralth quarreled with the
i Belasco management and caused the
.matinee girls to sorrow by leaving the
boards and retiring to private life, he
1 announced his Intention of going Into
real estate business. But . before lie.
managed to get very deep Into the real
estate question he was stricken with a
Cupid dart and he and Miss Sherman
became engaged. At that time Captain
Bradish. the guardian, stated that Miss
Sherman was too young to marry, but
he finally, gave his consent and the

IGNORANT BOY GOES TO JAIL
I Light Sentence Is Imposed and the
Lad Will Be Returned to
Germany
Gerhard Siebel, suit! to be the son of
a wealthy cloth manufacturer of
Cologne, Germany, was sentenced to
thirty days In the county jail yester
day upon a charge of petit larceny,
preferred against him by a pawnbroker
who accuses him of stealing a pair of
shoes.
Siebel had been convicted before of
petit larceny, and in accordance with
the customary sentence imposed upon
those guilty of a second offense, would
have been given a long term in the
penitentiary except for intercession
from the district attorney, who ap
pealed to the court for leniency on the
ground of the boy's youth and ignor
ance.
When young Siebel has finished his
term of thirty days in the county Jail,
it is probable his relatives will send
him buck to his home in Germany, as
they say the effect of his unrestrained
life In America has had an evil effect
upon him. /

from United States District Attorney
Oscar Lawler, attorney for Eben Smith

Indirectly Mr. bawler accused Major
Russell of being responsible for the
untimely death of Mr. Hinith, saying
that worry over Kussell'B abuse of the
confidence placed In him by Mr. Smith
was partly the cause of his decline.
In regard to the "question of pro
oloiure proceedings t<> which Major
Russell so strenuously objects, Attor
ney LawlOT says that Frank Smith, the
son of Eben Smith, had nothing to do
with this matter at all, as It was the
plan of his father.
